After finally calming Yu down, the group of five set off for Chongwu Mountain.
As for their eldest brother, Su Daiyuan, he had not yet emerged from seclusion and was temporarily forgotten by them.
Legend has it that Chongwu Mountain is the dwelling place of the ancient divine beast Bai Ze, and should have been an auspicious place. However, since some unknown time, Chongwu Mountain has been plagued by a monster frenzy every hundred years.
At first, no one took it seriously.
As the level of the monsters that ran out of the mountain increased, there were even some Mahayana-level monsters that appeared and destroyed all the sects around Chongwu Mountain.
Only then did everyone realize that the spirit beasts on Chongwu Mountain had undergone a strange change.
Some people have gone up Chongwu Mountain to explore it, but they never returned.
In order to prevent the monsters from flowing into the major towns, the Dingtian Sect, located at the foot of Chongwu Mountain, specially invited other sects to come to its aid when the monster frenzy arrives in a hundred years.
Of course, participating in the monster frenzy is not a waste of time.
As long as you can kill a monster, its core will belong to you alone.
The higher the level of a demon beast, the denser the spiritual power in its core.
If one could hunt down a Golden Core stage demon beast, extract its core, and convert it into spiritual power for one's own use.
Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, with the core of this Golden Core stage demon beast, could, if lucky, leap to become a Golden Core cultivator.
This is why the monster horde is extremely dangerous.
But every hundred years, various sects and even independent cultivators still recklessly rush towards Chongwu Mountain.
When Sheng Ning and his group arrived in Starfall City, it was already packed with disciples from various factions.
"Look, do you see those female disciples? They're all from the Flying Flower Sect."
Lu Qingan stood beside Sheng Ning, carefully protecting her from being pushed away by the crowd.
Sheng Ning followed his finger and saw a group of female disciples dressed in white enter the restaurant.
There are over a hundred of them.
Compared to their five-person team...
It was indeed shabby.
No wonder the Taixu Sect has never taken the Invincible Sect seriously.
“The Flying Flower Sect is all female disciples. They are beautiful, but be careful of their habit of using hidden weapons.” Yu also chimed in.
Even Lu Jingshen, who was walking behind, nodded, "The most poisonous heart is that of a woman."
Especially that woman, Shi Yueyao!
Guan Yunchuan walked beside him, silently rolled his eyes, and said nothing.
If the Flying Flower Sect, which is furthest from Starfall City, has arrived, then apart from the Fixed Heaven Sect, which is located within Starfall City, the Void Sect and the Lotus Flower Sect must have arrived as well.
Sheng Ning didn't see anyone from the Taixu Sect around him, so he followed his senior brothers into the restaurant.
Although Xingluo City is large, it has many inns and restaurants.
However, the number of cultivators who come to hunt demonic beasts increases every hundred years.
At this time of year, some disciples from small sects and many independent cultivators cannot find a place to stay and can only find random places to meditate and cultivate, waiting for the arrival of the monster horde.
Sheng Ning and the others arrived late.
All other hotel rooms are fully booked.
Having finally found a restaurant with only one superior room left, Sheng Ning hadn't even had time to take out her spirit stones when she caught a glimpse of two people walking in from outside the door.
With a glint in her eyes, she beckoned to the restaurant owner with her finger.
"Shopkeeper, I have a favor to discuss with you. If I let that sucker stay for four hundred high-grade spirit stones later, you can give me half of those spirit stones, how about it?"
The shopkeeper followed her gaze to the two people at the door. Seeing that they were dressed in the robes of the Taixu Sect, he wanted to agree but was afraid of being punished by the Taixu Sect.
Sheng Ning noticed his hesitation and whispered to him, "Don't worry, he has a grudge against me, so he'll definitely only come after me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the shopkeeper, now free of any reservations, nodded emphatically, "Alright!"
The two had just finished whispering when a sharp shout rang out from not far away.
"It's you?! The outer sect member from that day!"
Gu Zhuo was ordered to lead the late-arriving Shi Yueyao to the restaurant, but there were too many cultivators in Xingluo City and they couldn't find a room at all.
After circling around the entire Starfall City, they finally found out that this restaurant still had vacant rooms.
As a result, he ran over excitedly and bumped right in front of Sheng Ning.
Thinking back to the day Sheng Ning pointed the dark muzzle of a gun at his face, he didn't dare to go too far.
He snorted and cursed, "What bad luck!"
Gu Zhuo spat at Sheng Ning, then looked up and pushed the mustard seed bag in front of the shopkeeper. "I want that empty room."
The turtle has taken the bait.
When Sheng Ning saw that he wanted to book a room, she immediately slapped her own storage bag on top of his storage bag and said, "Fifty high-grade spirit stones, I'll take the empty room."
"One hundred yuan! The empty room must be given to Junior Sister Yueyao!"
Another mustard seed bag fell, and Gu Zhuo raised his head, his face clearly showing that he was unwilling to give up the empty room.
If the inner rooms of Dingtian Sect weren't already full, Senior Brother Qin definitely wouldn't have let Junior Sister Yueyao come out to stay.
Now that Senior Brother Qin has entrusted Junior Sister Yueyao to him, if he can't even handle this small matter properly, then there's no need for him to go back.
Sheng Ning glanced at his mustard seed bag and joined him in bidding, "Two hundred yuan, I'll take it."
Gu Zhuo immediately became anxious.
Normally, a superior room in a restaurant costs only ten high-grade spirit stones.
With the monster horde approaching, hotels are overcrowded, and it's normal for room rates to double.
Now, Sheng Ning has directly raised the price of an empty room to two hundred high-grade spirit stones...
Gu Zhuo glanced at the shopkeeper's beaming face and felt his teeth itch with anger.
He glanced at Shi Yueyao, who was tugging at his sleeve. She was clearly surprised to run into Sheng Ning and his group of five here and didn't say a word for a moment.
Blood and qi surged.
Gu Zhuo then pulled out a mustard seed bag, "Two hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones!"
