"Would you three like to request a superior room, a mid-range room, or a standard room?"
The smile on Uncle Qian's face was just right, polite but not too flattering.
"Three first-class ones."
"Alright! Xiao Zhao, book three first-class guest rooms for the three fellow Taoists!"
A teahouse waiter came over and quickly drew a few strokes of the wooden signs with the spiritual power in his hand. Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light appeared, and three palm-sized wooden signs appeared in his hand.
"Three seniors, this is the wooden sign for my guest room in Tingfeng Tower. You can enter the guest room with this sign. The guest room has a special security array."
Xiao Zhao handed it to a few people respectfully. Huo Shen took a look at it, reached out to take it, and after making sure there was no problem, he handed it to Su Jin and Shen Qingyi.
However, at the moment when Huo Shen extended his spiritual sense, Uncle Qian, who was closer to them, almost had his hair standing on end.
There was a huge wave of shock in my heart.
The rough male cultivator in front of him must have a cultivation level that is definitely more than the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!
There was a hidden meaning in Huo Shen's eyes.
Of course he did it on purpose. Since he had finally brought his apprentice out for a trip, he naturally wanted to have a better experience. However, the three superior guest rooms just now made some monks in the lobby look at him with ulterior motives. Huo Shen didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he let it slip in front of the shopkeeper.
He believed that the shopkeeper in front of him was a smart man.
Uncle Qian is of course a smart man. When he realized that the identities of the three people might be special, in order not to cause trouble to the inn, it would be best if possible to make friends with them. So when the three of them walked to the coffee table near the street window.
Uncle Qian has secretly passed the message to his subordinates, asking them to make sure that the cultivators in secret protect several people, especially the female cultivator, so that no one else can take advantage of them.
After all, among the three, the only one who might have a flaw is Shen Qingyi.
The three of them sat on the tea table, and soon the young man Amu hurried back from outside the teahouse.
It can be seen that he is working very hard and sweat is still dripping from his forehead.
"Senior, these are the things I bought at the South City Grocery Store. They're all things you might need! Please check them out!"
The storage bag in the young man Amu's hand was the same one given to him by Huo Shen that was used to store spirit stones.
Huo Shen took the storage bag and probed inside with his spiritual sense. He found more than a dozen jade slips, various things of different sizes, including some pills and talismans, as well as some auxiliary ropes.
It is also marked what it is used for and what its function is.
At this glance, Huo Shen knew that the young man had not swallowed up the spirit stones he had given him. In fact, after trying his best, he might have spent 300 to 400 of the 500 spirit stones, and the remaining 100 to 200 might not be that much now.
Huo Shen handed the storage bag to the two of them, and Shen Qingyi and Su Jin both took a look.
"Well, well done. This is your reward. If there is anything else next time, I will contact you."
Huo Shen threw another storage bag to the young man.
The young man was excited after taking the storage bag and quickly bent down to express his gratitude.
He made the right bet!
These senior masters may care more about sincerity and mood rather than the amount of spirit stones!
Before leaving, the young man Amu gave the three people his contact talisman and retreated respectfully.
When he returned home, he opened the storage bag given by Huo Shen. Suddenly, he saw 300 low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of spirit-building pills inside, which made him breathless.
Huo Shen was right. Amu bought everything they might need and even marked some things that needed attention. All in all, he used more than 400 low-grade spirit stones.
There were only more than twenty spirit stones left, and the thirty low-grade spirit stones might be a little less even if he introduced them to ordinary monks passing by.
However, he still did it!Now, seeing the spirit stones in the storage bag, especially the elixir that he had been thinking about for a long time, Amu couldn't help but sniff.
He is really lucky today, and an opportunity has fallen for him!
In the teahouse, three people were drinking tea.
Huo Shen also wanted to pass on some life experience to his disciples, so he sent a message to the two of them.
"Do you know why I chose that young man from the crowd instead of someone who is older and more experienced, or someone with a high level of cultivation and the cheapest price?"
Su Jin is a homebody and has very little experience in going out. Even though he is leaving the sect alone this time, Huo Shen and Tianxu Sect have secretly sent people to follow him.
This way he wouldn't have encountered any scammers along the way.
"Why?"
Seeing his apprentice's lazy look, and then seeing Su Jin looking at him with curiosity and confusion, seeking answers, Huo took a deep breath.
After all, he is a cultivator who has reached the stage of half-step out-of-body experience, yet he is so stupid. The Tianxu Sect is truly a failure!
Huo Shen rolled his eyes at Su Jin in annoyance.
"Because you're new here, the cultivators who can trade at the city gate either have some guaranteed cultivation or some connections. After all, the city gates aren't as strict as those inside the city. If you run into a rogue one, you could be in danger of losing your life. And the oldest of those cultivators has cloudy eyes but is incredibly shrewd. You can tell at a glance that he's a seasoned veteran. If you're inexperienced, especially you, run into one, you'd be easily ripped off without even realizing it!"
Su Jin touched his nose, feeling embarrassed.
Uncle Huo really is such a fool. Why does he speak so bluntly? He seems like an idiot. Besides, Junior Sister Shen is also here. After all, he is a male cultivator. He also... needs to save face, okay?
"As for those who have some cultivation, it's best not to take the risk of asking for directions when you're out and about. After all, we're not the only ones who hide our cultivation. If someone with high cultivation still hangs around the city gate, it might mean they don't have good relationships with people, or they have other motives. Don't take such a risk!"
"As for the cheapest, while not all of them are, it's true that cheap things don't come cheap, but there's truth to that. The Trial Grounds are full of dangers, and when your life is at stake, you can't rely on luck!"
"As for why I chose that kid, it's because, despite his youth, his cultivation isn't the lowest among the group, and he's not the most poorly dressed. He's also able to blend in with the group, which shows he's a shrewd person. He might even have some connections, but he's so young, and he's working in this field. It's likely his ancestors were in this business, so he has ample resources and information. And even if he's young and shrewd, his age is still there, and his experience is limited. He won't be overly cunning, and he'll be much easier to control. Furthermore, the boy's eyes are quite clear, which shows he's not a particularly bad person."
"but!"
Huo Shen couldn't help but sound a wake-up call to the two of them.
"Nothing is absolute! This kind of thing must be determined based on the specific circumstances and the situation! In short, it's always a good idea to be cautious and vigilant when you're out and about!"
