The young servant boy looked troubled, then darted over to Li Sisui, leaned on his shoulder, and muttered something under his breath. Black Rat, having overheard something, became even more smug. Despite his short stature, he still puffed out his small chest as if he were receiving the worship of thousands...
"Qingyuan Tower, what kind of place is this? Why is it full of all sorts of monsters and freaks? Is there anyone normal? It's giving me the creeps..."
Li Sisui, his face full of vigilance, subconsciously pulled the wine boy forward and grumbled somewhat uneasily. The boy gave a wry smile, then turned to Black Rat and said:
"You've finally opened your beady eyes. Now that you know it's the Sword God of Wulipo, I don't need to tell you what to do, do I?"
Black Rat hesitated, glancing at Li Sisui, who was hiding behind the wine boy, not even glancing at him. This disappointed Black Rat, who said dejectedly:
"I was blind and almost ruined everything. You've finally been reliable this time. What do you mean? Are you going to go in this time too?"
The wine boy looked smug and said arrogantly:
"What are you saying? What's wrong with me going in? Stop looking down on me, okay? Qingyuan Tower may be nice, but I might not even go in even if you invited me, humph!"
"Senior, since you have decided to go to Qingyuan Tower, according to the rules, you need to pay enough collateral, which will be exchanged for the amount of money you can spend in the tower at the current market price. Also, please allow me to introduce myself. I am a steward of Qingyuan Tower, responsible for registration and guiding you."
"I am a member of the demon race, so there's no need to hide anything here. I'll simply appear in my true form. I hope I haven't frightened you, senior. People here call me 'Uncle Black,' and I'm quite popular. I never expected to meet the renowned Sword God of Wulipo. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"I've met Uncle Hei. Are there any requirements for the collateral? Also, he's coming in with me; are there any other restrictions?"
As he spoke, Li Si pointed at the wine boy. Uncle Hei, seeing this, showed a hint of shock, while the wine boy wore a smug expression. After a moment, Uncle Hei laughed:
"There aren't any specific requirements for the collateral. It mainly depends on the overall valuation of the collateral. As for bringing him in, that's perfectly fine. As long as you provide enough collateral, you can bring in more people if you want!"
"I see," Li Sisui breathed a sigh of relief, then with a thought, several magical artifacts flew out of the Zhishan Ring and slowly landed in front of Uncle Hei. Upon seeing this, Uncle Hei took out a pair of thick glasses from his pocket, put them on his nose, and examined the magical artifacts with a serious expression. After a long while, he said:
"These demonic artifacts are of exceptional quality and power, but they're only worth a thousand. If the four of you want to enter, you'll need to pay at least ten thousand..."
The young servant's expression changed slightly. When he heard Uncle Hei mention ten thousand, his eyes darkened. This was no small sum. If these things were handed over to Zheji City, his temporary stay could be extended by at least a few years. But now they had to be given to Qingyuan Tower, which seemed a bit wasteful. He wondered if the senior could afford it...
"Oh, is that so? That's easy!"
After hearing this, Li Sisui finally felt relieved. He had just casually thrown out a few items to assess their value. After Uncle Hei's evaluation, he finally had a better understanding of the situation. Based on his previous gains, staying at Qingyuan Tower for a period of time should not be a problem.
As he spoke, Li Si waved his hand, and all sorts of strange magical artifacts descended from the sky. With a loud bang, they all crashed onto the table. The already creaking table could not withstand the weight and collapsed, shattering into a pile of wood chips. Uncle Hei, who was standing on the table, nimbly dodged to the side, his eyes filled with even greater shock!
The young apprentice stared intently and couldn't help but gasp. The senior's wealth far exceeded his imagination. This pile of magical artifacts was simply too extravagant. Could it be that the senior was a magical artifact dealer?
"Is this enough?"
Li Sisui asked hesitantly. He had done quite a bit of looting back at Demon Mountain. Although most of his gains had disappeared in the spatial turbulence, he still had some savings. If he could get even a washbasin or a kitchen knife by selling all this scrap metal today, it wouldn't be a loss...
"Enough! More than enough! These eighty-three magical artifacts are enough to... let me do the math, hmm, enough to be worth 100,000!"
"Is 100,000 enough? How many days can we stay at Qingyuan Tower?"
Li Si's face lit up with joy, but then he hesitated, turning to the wine boy and asking, "What do you mean?" The boy nodded vigorously, surprised.
"Senior, can I stay for many, many, many days..."
"Qingyuan Tower only consumes about a hundred coins a day. With your 100,000 coins, you should be able to last for several years. Of course, this is on the premise that you don't incur any other expenses after you enter..."
Li Sisui's expression relaxed, a great weight lifted from his heart. He had no intention of hiding in Qingyuan Tower forever. Let alone a few years, he probably wouldn't even need a few months before he came out. If he could find clues about Demon Mountain, that would be best. Even if not, he had to explore other ways to improve his divine sense. He couldn't just stand there and wait for good fortune to come knocking on his door...
"Senior, please come in. Three people and one demon. Three thousand for the three people, a total of nine thousand. The demon race offers a discount, so it's only one thousand. The total is ten thousand. Please come in!"
Li Sisui looked surprised. He hadn't expected that there would be preferential treatment for demons here, which surprised him. However, considering that the doorman and the owner were both demons, it didn't seem unreasonable to treat demons well.
"This way, please. Although Qingyuan Tower is located in Zheji City, it is its own territory. Even the city lord of Zheji City has to follow the rules. Senior, you must have extraordinary abilities to gain the favor of the Black-Eyed Golden-Eyed Eagle. Although you seem to have some reservations about the demon race, you should still be careful with your words and actions once inside..."
