"Is this restaurant for sale?"
Xia Tianqiong asked very sincerely, but suddenly, all the strange beings present looked at him as if he were a fool.
The innkeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This restaurant is not for sale."
"Money is not a problem, I really want to buy it."
Xia Tianqiong was still not giving up.
To others and the supernatural, coming to the restaurant is just a way to develop supernatural arts, but for him, it's also a place to hunt down all sorts of supernatural beings without much danger.
"The Wujian Restaurant cannot be bought or sold, and it has nothing to do with how much money is involved."
The innkeeper, not wanting to continue the topic, quickly changed the subject, "With your wealth and power, esteemed guest, you may dine on the second floor. This teleportation token is for you; it costs one hundred ghost coins to teleport to the second floor."
It made a grabbing motion in the air, and a palm-sized token appeared in its hand.
The food and drinks on each floor of the Wujian Restaurant are different, which also affects the probability of people and the supernatural giving rise to strange magic. The higher the floor, the higher the probability.
Of course, the food and drinks are also more expensive.
Wealthy and powerful ghost hunters or supernatural beings all want to go to higher floors in hopes of acquiring some kind of supernatural magic.
In the previous life, this kind of token was a symbol of status and power in the human world, and ordinary ghost hunters could not buy it even if they wanted to.
Xia Tianqiong did not accept the token handed to her by the shopkeeper.
"Could you give me the token to the top floor?"
This request is a bit excessive. Other strange creatures can't even go to the second floor. If the shopkeeper could give them a token to go to the second floor, they would be overjoyed.
But this human dared to ask for the highest-level token, he was simply ignorant of his own limitations. Is it something that can be done just by having money?
The higher the floor, the more eerie the dining experience; the top floor is said to be accessible only to ghost generals and ghost kings.
Even if this person has some wealth, he is not qualified to dine in the same room as the Ghost General and the Ghost King.
"As is customary, distinguished guests are not allowed to go to higher floors at this time."
The shopkeeper's answer pleased the onlookers, who were quite surprised. They couldn't defeat Xia Tianqiong, but seeing him suffer a setback was a good thing.
To everyone's surprise, the shopkeeper then said, "If our esteemed guest deposits some ghost money in advance, I can make an exception."
Before Xia Tianqiong could speak, a strange voice protested from the onlookers.
"How can you break the restaurant's rules just for the sake of a human being?"
“You are also strange, and the Wujian Restaurant is also strange. They don’t make exceptions for their own kind, so why do they make exceptions for humans? We are not convinced.”
"Yes, we protest, we disagree."
"If you don't give us an explanation, we will never come here again."
There were dozens of strange creatures on the first floor. One of them took the lead, and the others followed suit.
This scene left the surviving humans dumbfounded. They realized there were so many strange things here, and that the building itself was problematic.
The shopkeeper's originally kind and friendly smile immediately turned grim when he turned to look at the other strange figures.
A chilling aura instantly spread, enveloping the entire area.
"Anyone who disagrees can get out and never come back."
The shopkeeper was very assertive, and the strange creatures who were still shouting and protesting immediately fell silent, shrinking their necks and not daring to meet the shopkeeper's gaze.
"A deposit of 100,000 ghost money will grant you a teleportation token to the second floor. A deposit of 500,000 will get you a token to the third floor, 1 million to the fourth floor, 2 million to the fifth floor, 4 million to the sixth floor. Whoever can come up with the money, I will make an exception for them. Do you have any objections?"
The strange creatures looked at each other, but no one uttered a sound.
If they had that much money, they would mostly use it for cultivation and to improve their own strength, rather than spending it here.
After all, for the supernatural, as long as the level increases, it can naturally go to the corresponding floor.
The shopkeeper looked around, his expression softening slightly. He then turned to Xia Tianqiong and put on a warm smile again.
The speed at which she changed her expression left Xia Tianqiong in awe.
"Distinguished guest, which floor's token would you like to receive?"
Xia Tianqiong shook her head again, "I was talking about the top floor. Aren't there nine floors here? You only mentioned the sixth floor. How much do we need to pre-deposit for the ninth floor?"
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and suddenly felt a pang of regret; he had quoted too low a price!
It guessed that the person in front of it was rich, but it didn't expect him to be this rich.
"The floors above the seventh floor are not open to the public; you can only go up to the sixth floor."
Why isn't it open?
"Those three floors are the restaurant owner's residence."
Xia Tianqiong hadn't expected this reason; it was information she hadn't grasped in her previous life.
"Alright, then give me the teleportation token for the sixth floor."
He casually took out eight hundred taels of gold and placed it on the table. It was a huge, dazzling pile of gold.
Half of the gold was used for pre-deposit, and the other half was used to buy eight waiters.
Suddenly, countless sounds of swallowing saliva came from all around.
For the supernatural, no food tastes as good as gold.
The shopkeeper was also overjoyed. With a flick of his sleeve, all the gold disappeared, and no one knew where it had been put.
Then, he reached out and made a grabbing motion, conjuring up another teleportation token out of thin air.
Xia Tianqiong took it and examined it carefully. The token was entirely emerald green, as if it were made of some kind of jade.
Shaped like a miniature version of the Wujian Restaurant, the front is inscribed with the words "Wujian" and the back with "Sixth Floor Access".
The phrase "sixth floor access" doesn't mean you can only go to the sixth floor, but rather that you can go to any floor below the sixth floor, with the highest you can go up to the sixth floor.
"The token also has another function: whenever the Wujian Restaurant appears, it will tell you where the nearest entrance is."
The shopkeeper offered Xia Tianqiong an explanation.
Xia Tianqiong knew all this, and also knew that the Wujian Restaurant was always moving, never stopping. Sometimes it would disappear into the realm of ghosts, and sometimes it would descend to the human world.
It can appear in many places at the same time, so there are many entrances.
