Situ Haonan arrived early at the Azurecloud Sect, partly to see his daughter, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and partly to find out what qualifications the Bluemoon Trading Guild had that made Qin Yushu believe it could compete with the Yunteng Trading Union.

However, as soon as he arrived in Azurecloud Town, he was given a lesson.

Zhang Yang's bold advertising tactics made him feel a bit shameless.

Yet, despite feeling this way, the names on the banner seemed to pierce straight into his heart.

Bluemoon Trading Guild, Azurecloud Guesthouse, Hundred Spirit Pill... and what on earth is lace?

He had many questions.

With these overwhelming questions, he entered Azurecloud Town.

As soon as he entered, someone approached and asked, "Honored guests, are you looking for an inn? Our Fulai Inn has rooms of the highest standard, guaranteed to satisfy you."

Situ Haonan was intrigued and asked, "Where is the Azurecloud Guesthouse?"

"Sir, the Azurecloud Guesthouse is outrageously expensive, not affordable for the average person. You really shouldn't go there. Honestly, they charge an arm and a leg. Why not stay at our Fulai Inn? A top-tier room is only a hundred spirit stones a day... Please don't find it too expensive; it's just that so many people are coming to Azurecloud Town now, we have no choice. To be honest, prices will go up in a few days."

"Just tell me where the Azurecloud Guesthouse is," Situ Haonan said with a smile.

Was he short of money?

Moreover, the Azurecloud Guesthouse seemed to be something the Azurecloud Sect had set up, so he had to check it out.

The staff at Fulai Inn sighed and reluctantly pointed westward in Azurecloud Town, "See that area over there? That's the Azurecloud Guesthouse. If you don't believe me, go see for yourself!"

Situ Haonan smiled slightly and, with his entourage, headed to the Azurecloud Guesthouse.

Upon arriving at the Azurecloud Guesthouse, he was surprised to see Chunxiao at the reception and quickly asked, "Chunxiao, where is the young lady?"

"Master?" Chunxiao was shocked to see Situ Haonan and almost kneeled, but remembering Zhang Yang's instructions, she could only smile wryly and say, "Master, I apologize. I'm currently in charge of the reception at the Azurecloud Guesthouse... Are you looking to stay?"

Situ Haonan gave Chunxiao a strange look and said, "Yes, arrange something for us!"

"Then I recommend you stay in Courtyard Nine. It has the best location, but it's a bit pricey, at two thousand spirit stones per day!" Chunxiao said apologetically.

"How much?" Situ Haonan was truly shocked.

Two thousand spirit stones?

How could they have the nerve to charge that?

Even though he had spirit stones, they didn't just fall from the sky.

"Two thousand spirit stones!" Chunxiao said awkwardly, looking at Situ Haonan. "It's settled daily. Although it's a bit expensive, it's worth it. You'll understand once you stay."

Situ Haonan took a deep breath. It's just money!

He wanted to see what made it worth that much.

"Sixty thousand spirit stones, I'll stay for a month first!" Situ Haonan handed the spirit stones to Chunxiao.

Chunxiao accepted the spirit stones and said to Situ Haonan, "Master, Courtyard Nine has three rooms, so only you and the two guest elders can stay there. The other guards will have to stay in the standard rooms outside. The standard rooms outside cost a hundred spirit stones a day, with each room accommodating two people."

Situ Haonan held back his frustration and said, "Just tell me the total cost!"

"With so many of you, it'll cost a hundred thousand spirit stones for a month," Chunxiao said apologetically.

She truly felt that the guesthouse Zhang Yang had set up was a bit of a rip-off, but since she was assigned here, she could only be honest.

Situ Haonan laughed in exasperation. How poor was the Azurecloud Sect?

He tossed a hundred thousand spirit stones to Chunxiao and instructed the other guards, "You all stay outside!"

After that, he led the two most important guest elders into Courtyard Nine.

As they walked to Courtyard Nine, they noticed that the other courtyards were separated by walls and had restriction formations. However, these formations weren't strong; even Foundation Establishment cultivators could probably break them. So what was the use of these formations?

Situ Haonan, holding back his impatience, entered Courtyard Nine.

As soon as he opened the door, the rune patterns at the entrance were activated, and a gentle voice greeted them, "Welcome to the Azurecloud Guesthouse, we wish you a pleasant stay!"

"Isn't that Mingyue's voice?" Situ Haonan was shocked. "Mingyue, where are you?"

Chunxiao quickly said, "Master, the young lady isn't here. This is just a recording of her voice for welcoming guests."

Situ Haonan was stunned and suddenly furious, "They actually made my daughter do this?"

His daughter, the esteemed young lady of the Situ family, so noble and dignified?

Even if it was just her voice, it shouldn't be used like this, right?

"The young lady volunteered!" Chunxiao said with a wry smile. "Master, you'll understand once you see her."

"Then go get her for me!" Situ Haonan immediately demanded.

Chunxiao shook her head, "The young lady is busy with Bluemoon Trading Guild matters and probably can't come right now. But I'll let her know you've arrived, and she'll come when she has time."

Situ Haonan couldn't hold it in any longer. His daughter had indeed come here to escape, but why did he feel like he had lost her?

He felt aggrieved!

He stormed into the guest room, and as soon as he entered, the rune patterns were activated again, filling the room with the radiant light of Xi He, causing Situ Haonan to pause.

The Nascent Soul stage guest elder beside him said gravely, "Master, the rune patterns here are of high caliber! With this level of talisman skills, Nascent Soul stage is a conservative estimate."

At this moment, Situ Haonan also noticed the unusual aspects. He calmed his mind and began to examine everything in the room.

Courtyard Nine was divided into three rooms; he took one, and the two guest elders each took one.

Entering his room, Situ Haonan felt a sense of clarity and refreshment.

He was a cultivator, after all, and could recognize quality.

"Focus Talisman Pattern!"

Opening the window, a breeze automatically blew in, gently brushing his face.

"Wind Spirit Talisman Pattern!"

The room also had a pool, crystal clear, with spiritual qi permeating it.

"Gathering Spirit Rune Pattern, Purification Rune Pattern!"

"No wonder it costs two thousand spirit stones a day!" Situ Haonan murmured to himself.

As a member of a commercial family, the Situ family also owned inns, even luxuriously decorated ones.

But compared to the Azurecloud Guesthouse, he felt the inns his family ran were simply garbage!

Including all the inns he had stayed at before, they were all garbage.

"Our Yunteng Trading Union could do this too!" Situ Haonan was tempted but immediately smiled bitterly.

Was it that they didn't want to do it?

They couldn't!

Where could they find masters capable of inscribing these rune patterns? Even if they could hire them, the cost of hiring such masters would probably exceed the accommodation fees, right?

His heart no longer held any resentment.

Under the influence of the Focus Talisman Pattern, he calmed down and began to recall the scenes he had witnessed upon entering Azurecloud Town.

He was amazed to realize that Azurecloud Town was truly extraordinary!

Were these feats the work of the so-called senior brother Qin Yushu mentioned?

Through these feats, Situ Haonan was eager to meet the senior brother of the Azurecloud Sect!
