204 Finding Trouble (2/2)

And when the boss turned around to unleash his rage on the servant, he realized that the target of his ire was nowhere to be found.

Frowning, he told himself that he would fire him as soon as he returned. But this servant never returned to the tavern.

”They won't let us stay in this inn either,” Xue Wei said with a sigh as they exited the fourth inn they had visited after leaving the tavern.

”It seems like someone knew that we were coming this way. It is hard to find fault with us as we have done nothing wrong, at least according to the law, but they will try and chase us out of every major city in the future.”

”We can try the hotels,” Hei Gou suggested. Hotels were usually chains or owned by major factions, so they would not involve themselves in the conflicts of the major sects. Although they were slightly more expensive, the quality was also above ordinary inns.

”We need somewhere to relax for a bit,” Xue Wei agreed. ”We need to share all the items in my bags. I have herbs, spiritual fruits, pills, and techniques from that mini-war we caused that we need to look at,” he said. ”We should use them to get as strong as possible before we reach the center of the continent. It would be a waste not to.”

”I want the Rainbow Pill, you can fight for the rest then,” Bai Tianyi said smilingly. He really wanted the Rainbow Pill.

”We'll split it later.” Xue Wei smiled evasively, but he really didn't mind giving it to Bai Tianyi. He knew that his spirit form had a hard time taking in energy from pills unless they were special. If the Rainbow Pill could benefit him, it was worth it.

”Let's find a hotel then,” Xue Wei said. He had considered meeting up with the Cerulean Starlight Sect, but he was not willing to stay in their territory. Although they were on friendly terms, Xue Wei had a hard time fully trusting them. Their relationship was built on mutual benefits after all.

”We can look for a hotel owned by the Golden Chambers,” Bai Tianyi added with a smile.

”They will definitely not decline us after our business with the formations. Not to mention that they have no reason to fear the factions.”

Having decided what they would do, they soon headed toward the location of the Golden Chambers' shops. There should also be a hotel located among them.

As they walked through the city, it never occurred to Xue Wei that they should leave. The more they wanted to chase him out, the more stubborn he became, and he had now decided to stay in Cloudsoar City for some time while getting information on Wang Xiaoyun's new faction and about the center of the continent. Besides, he wanted to see what sort of pills, herbs, and spiritual fruits they had in stock here.

Cloudsoar City was the largest city within the Chengzi Kingdom. It was a city that overflowed with life. Ergo, it would be the perfect place to gather some intel – if people were not biased against them, that is.

As they reached the district governed by the Golden Chambers, they were greeted very differently by the independent stores. There were many different departments in the Cloudsoar City's Golden Chambers, and one of them was precisely what they needed, a hotel.

When they were informed of Ye Xiao's request for accommodations, they were at first slightly perplexed but then thrilled. They knew of the fortune he had gained back in Golden Crow City, so if he were to spend some of it in their stores, it would enrichen their pockets quite a bit.

Xue Wei could guess their train of thought. Originally, he would not have picked the hotel belonging to the Golden Chambers, as those who rested there were mainly patrons of their shops.With their relationship, he had to spend quite a bit of wealth to satisfy them, but he had been pushed towards this option as the other inns had blacklisted them.

”I was of the impression that a miss was traveling with you?” the manager of the hotel asked tentatively when he saw that the group only consisted of three young men. Xue Wei smiled, maintaining his composure. ”We have parted ways for a short time,” he explained casually, as if he truly believed so.

The manager instantly stopped asking and instead prepared three of their best suites for Xue Wei, Hei Gou, and Bai Tianyi. Although many might think that he was a small child, this manager had seen the knowledge and shrewdness in Bai Tianyi's eyes and knew that he was no ordinary child. He would not need an adult to look after him.

Even though, they were given a suite each, all three gathered in Xue Wei's room and sat in a circle on the floor with grins on their faces.

Xue Wei took out pills, herbs, fruits, and techniques from his storage ring, piling them into a mountain in the middle of their circle.

The moment the snow jade bottle containing the Rainbow Pill appeared, Bai Tianyi's hand shot out with the speed of light and grasped it. He looked at it with eyes filled with expectation.

Seeing his behavior, neither Xue Wei nor Hei Gou minded, but both started laughing.

”Okay let us start sharing the items,” Xue Wei smiled slightly as he picked up the items one by one.

”The techniques are only useful for me as you have innate techniques and abilities. I haven't unlocked any inherited knowledge yet, so I guess I will just continue to train in normal techniques.”

”I originally planned on sharing these with Xiaoyun, but I guess that's a long time in the future now. So I'll take them all.”

Then they reached the pills. They had many pills, and they were of different types. Xue Wei only remembered them because of the jade slip he had bought back in the Black Iron Fortress.

There were pills of all kinds that either: strengthened the fleshly body, increased the capacity of one's meridians, increased the user's spiritual energy pool, or improved anything related to Qi as a whole.

There were pills that allowed for a smoother breakthrough from Sky Warrior to Heavenly Warrior or from Heavenly Warrior to Ordinary Knight.

There were also pills that steadied one's foundation. All in all, they had any kind of pill that could prove useful to them.
