Chapter 16: A Night at the Inn

"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Ji Yao, and I am also the branch president of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce in Wind and Fire Town, it can be said that I directly control half of the resources in Wind and Fire Town, I think you should understand what this means. Ji Yao, the shopkeeper of Tianyuan Inn, said.

Zhang Yuan nodded, but he didn't say anything, because Zhang Yuan understood at this moment that he only had a little investment value in Ji Yao's eyes at this moment, and if he wanted to really let Ji Yao stand on his side, not only did he have to achieve the strength required by Ji Yao, I am afraid that what Ji Yao really needed was that he could help him achieve his own goals, no matter what Ji Yao's purpose was, Zhang Yuan knew that he had no way to help Ji Yao complete it at this moment, and Ji Yao was just gambling by doing so, if he could really grow up, Ji Yao would probably get far more than he paid。

The shopkeeper of Tianyuan Inn saw Zhang Yuan's expression, and nodded slightly in his heart, this Zhang Yuan is really not simple, if some ordinary young people suddenly hear themselves say this, they either start to flatter themselves or show a more arrogant look, the purpose is just one, that is, I hope to get more benefits from myself, but Zhang Yuan is different, Zhang Yuan just nodded and said that he knew, it seems that this Zhang Yuan is still a very stable person, and such a character is easier to grow, so at this moment Ji Yao's evaluation of Zhang Yuan is even higher。

Zhang Yuan didn't speak, Ji Yao could only continue: "For the time being, I don't need you to pay anything, as long as you enhance your strength as much as possible, of course, I will give you a VIP card, with a VIP card, you can enjoy a nine-percent discount among all the facades of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, of course, you must not think that all this is the threat of the catastrophe I brought to you just now." ”

"I understand that you think I have potential, so I am ready to invest in advance before I grow, but my development direction has been planned by myself, and I don't know if it will be consistent with your future goals, so I advise you to think carefully before investing. ”

Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Ji Yao laughed, only Ji Yao laughed alone in the empty room, just for a moment, Ji Yao stopped a little embarrassed, "Very good, I like to talk to smart people, rest assured, as long as your strength is improved, my investment will not be wasted, since we have negotiated, I will let people send the VIP card to you." ”

After saying this, Ji Yao was about to get up and leave, but his body had just left the seat, and Zhang Yuan spoke, "Mr. Ji Yao, please stay longer, since Mr. Ji Yao has finished talking about his affairs, then I will start talking about my affairs!"

"What do you mean?" Ji Yao looked at Zhang Yuan with some surprise, I don't know what Zhang Yuan is going to say, isn't what he just said clear enough, a VIP card can save Zhang Yuan a lot of spirit stones, does Zhang Yuan have to make another request, if this is the case, Ji Yao is a little disappointed in Zhang Yuan, after all, it is difficult for a person who can only see the immediate benefits to make a big difference.

"Mr. Ji Yao, we didn't have any cooperative relationship before this moment, and some were just the relationship between the innkeeper and the traveler, but Boss Ji Yao, you sent someone to spy on my privacy after charging my high check-in fee, so I have the right to ask you to make compensation, otherwise, I don't mind uniting more guests to ask the inn to make compensation." ”

Ji Yao was a little dumbfounded, Ji Yao didn't expect that what Zhang Yuan said would be this matter, if Zhang Yuan didn't mention it, Ji Yao really forgot, all the inns in the entire Source Realm were all formations personally arranged by the formation master of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, there had never been such a thing for thousands of years, Ji Yao really didn't know how Zhang Yuan found the monitor hidden in the dark, but Zhang Yuan did catch his handle at this moment, Ji Yao looked at the firmness in Zhang Yuan's eyes, and already understood that if he didn't solve this matter, it was likely to bring very terrifying consequences to himself。

"Zhang Yuan, I think we are already in a cooperative relationship, is it a little inappropriate for you to do this?"

"Cooperation is after leaving this room, but if you can't give me a reasonable explanation for the previous matter, there is no need for us to cooperate at all, in fact, I also want to try how powerful the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is, and whether it can really offend all the sects in the Source Realm casually. ”

Ji Yao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and secretly scolded Zhang Yuan for being ruthless in his heart, but Ji Yao also knew that since Zhang Yuan dared to make such a request, he must have the ability to threaten himself with this matter, so in order not to destroy the cooperative relationship reached between the two just now, Ji Yao could only bear the price, but what is even more unfortunate is that this part of the compensation for Zhang Yuan may need to be paid out of his own pocket, if Zhang Yuan's matter is reported, the upper echelons will definitely compensate Zhang Yuan for their reputation, but in this way, what he decided before will completely lose his meaning, Zhang Yuan, a potential person is afraid that he will be directly taken over by those vampires at the upper level.

"Say, but within what I can afford, otherwise, I'd rather give up this collaboration. ”

At this time, Zhang Yuan's face finally showed a smile, after all, the cooperation that Ji Yao said just now is too illusory, and no matter what kind of help he gets from Ji Yao at this moment, I am afraid that in the near future, he will need to return it ten times and a hundred times, this is definitely not Zhang Yuan's style, Zhang Yuan prefers to get those benefits that can be obtained and do not have any follow-up troubles first, as for cooperation, it can only depend on his own mood.

"The accommodation fee will be repaid a hundred times, plus an innate spirit treasure!" Zhang Yuan tentatively said his request.

Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Ji Yao jumped up directly from the seat, as a businessman, of course Ji Yao knew that the asking price was all over the place, but this Zhang Yuan asked for such a high price was really unexpected by Ji Yao, not to mention the innate spirit treasure, even if he had never seen the acquired treasure himself, where would he go to find the innate spirit treasure for Zhang Yuan.

"At most, we will refund you the accommodation fee this time, which is already our greatest sincerity. Ji Yao gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, but got up and walked directly towards the door of the room, obviously no interest in continuing to talk, seeing Zhang Yuan's actions, Ji Yao didn't understand, this was Zhang Yuan putting pressure on himself, because he knew that Zhang Yuan must be waiting for him to keep him, and he must also leave him.

"Stop, stop, Zhang Yuan, you also know that the innate spirit treasure is impossible, you said a more reliable condition, if I can accept it, I will directly agree, how about it." Ji Yao said.

At the door of the room, Zhang Yuan stopped his steps, turned his head to Ji Yao and said: "A magic weapon with a thunder attribute, and ten times the accommodation fee will be returned, this is my minimum, if this can't be completed, then there is no need for us to continue talking." ”

Ji Yao frowned, in fact, in Ji Yao's heart, he was more willing to let Zhang Yuan increase the compensation of the spirit coin, and he was not willing to Zhang Yuan to propose the compensation of the magic weapon, after all, the magic weapon is a very important existence for the people of the source realm, so except for the refiner, basically no one will sell the magic weapon, but the commodity magic weapon of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is recorded, if he wants to compensate Zhang Yuan, I am afraid that the cost will not be too low, relatively speaking, ten times the accommodation fee is just pediatrics.

After turning back and forth in the room for more than ten times, Ji Yao finally stopped his steps, gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Yuan: "Okay, I promise you, if it's just a magic weapon, I'm afraid it will take a few days to prepare." ”

"I'll wait for you!"

Zhang Yuan left this room with a smile, and after coming to the corridor, Zhang Yuan opened the Tianyantong again in order to determine whether this place was also like the second floor, but this floor was completely different from the second floor, and no space technology was used in each room.

When he returned to the courtyard, the Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators brought by Ji Yao had already left, including the person who had been secretly observing, so as soon as Zhang Yuan appeared in the courtyard at this moment, everyone gathered around and asked Zhang Yuan for the details of the matter.

In fact, in the second layer of this Tianyuan Inn, it is just a huge space formation, this formation can effectively isolate all the cultivators who live in it, and it will not be affected by others, of course, it may be that the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce itself has intelligence business dealings, so in the formation, it will leave a back door for itself, where the people of the Tianyuan Inn can monitor all the residents who live on the second floor of the Tianyuan Inn at will, so that they can obtain a lot of secrets from this place.

Of course, Zhang Yuan didn't realize that he was being watched when he first entered, but after Zhang Yuan and Lin Feng entered the room, they felt a feeling of being spied on, at the beginning Zhang Yuan had carefully observed the surroundings, but Zhang Yuan did not find any flaws, only when he returned to the courtyard of the courtyard, Zhang Yuan tried to use Tianyantong to check the surrounding environment.

The sky is open, Zhang Yuan's courtyard has undergone earth-shaking changes, in front of his eyes, the courtyard has disappeared, this is just a huge space, there are a lot of people in this space, some of these people are eating, some are meditating, and some are talking, but these people can't see other people in the space, all think that the place they are in is a top secret place, so some people will even do some ugly behavior.

When looking at the various residents in these spaces, Zhang Yuan was still a little interested, but as more people observed, Zhang Yuan found a strange person, this person constantly focused his eyes on different places, and every time this person's eyes shifted, there would be a resident at the point where his eyes converged, which gave Zhang Yuan reason to believe that this person must be like himself, he could see other people in the space, so when this person turned his eyes to the area of his courtyard, Zhang Yuan opened his mouth to test it。

The result was really as Zhang Yuan expected, this person could indeed see other people in the space, and those who could observe other people in this place must only be their own people in Tianyuan Inn, of course, Zhang Yuan could also guess a thing or two about their purpose in doing so, so this was what happened later.

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, everyone began to turn their heads to look around in confusion, if Zhang Yuan didn't say it, several people didn't feel anything, but at this moment Zhang Yuan said this, several people's scalps were a little numb, it was likely that there was a sleeping person under his feet, or there was a diligent cultivator above his head, who was meditating cross-legged at the moment, and the direction of his butt was the top of several people's heads, and several people all felt that they could no longer live, so it was better to decide to leave here early.

Of course, Zhang Yuan will not have any objections to everyone's proposal, but Zhang Yuan and his party have not left, and a waiter walked into the courtyard, this person came to Zhang Yuan's front and back, first bowed with a smile, and then handed the two cards in his hand to Zhang Yuan's hands, of course, while handing the card, the waiter did not forget to secretly observe Zhang Yuan, because she has been a waiter here all the year round, she understands the importance of one of the cards, so she is a little curious about the mysterious guest who was personally given the VIP card by the shopkeeper。

After taking the two cards, Zhang Yuan put them in his storage bag without looking, and then walked towards the door with Zhang Yue and the others.

Out of the courtyard, Zhang Yuan did not leave the Tianyuan Inn, but said to the waiter who had been following him: "Your shopkeeper still owes me something, so I need to stay here during this time, you can just open me a three-story room!"

"Huh!?"

The waiter was a little dumbfounded, this was the first time he had seen this kind of operation, of course, the waiter didn't believe it at all, so he could only treat Zhang Yuan's matter as if he hadn't heard it, but the waiter wanted to just go over like this, but Zhang Yuan was not prepared to let her go over so easily.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to your treasurer and ask, and if you can decide not to open it for me, I will leave at once, and then I will say whether I will return to this place or not. Zhang Yuan said again, with a calm and breezy look on his face, as if he regarded this kind of advantage as a charity to the other party.

The smile on the waiter's face gradually put away, he still didn't believe Zhang Yuan's words, after all, he had been working in Tianyuan Inn for a long time, so he knew a little bit about some insiders, not to mention the shopkeeper, even if the person in charge of the southwest region came here directly, I am afraid that he could not directly give free housing to the guests, this is a necessary provision for the development of Tianyuan Inn, of course, if the shopkeeper personally pays for these people, it will be another matter, but the waiter glanced at it, Zhang Yuan and his party have a total of six people, which is equivalent to six low-level spirit stones, and the waiter really doesn't believe that the shopkeeper who has always been stingy will pay such a big price。

It's just that when everyone walked to the staircase, and the waiter was about to take Zhang Yuan and a few people down to the first floor, the voice of the shopkeeper suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Xiao He, open a suite on the third floor for them!"

After the waiter Xiao He heard this voice, a touch of surprise appeared on his face for a moment, but only for a moment, the surprise on Xiao He's face was replaced by a more enthusiastic smile, and he respectfully led Zhang Yuan and a few people to the third floor.

The space in the room on the third floor is not very large, but it is absolutely safe here, Zhang Yuan checked it, and after making sure that no one was observing and monitoring his few people, he arranged for a few people to find their own rooms to rest, after all, there are a lot of things happening tonight, and it is already late at night.

After entering his room, Qin Siyu asked, "What's going on today, when did you start treating others according to your preferences?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Qin Siyu suspiciously, Qin Siyu immediately told Zhang Yuan, it turned out that after Zhang Yuan and Ji Yao left the second floor together, Lin Feng told everyone what Zhang Yuan said in the room, and at that time, a few people understood why Zhang Yuan had been targeting Xin Feizi, it turned out that Zhang Yuan had great doubts about Xin Feizi.

After listening to Qin Siyu's explanation, Zhang Yuan understood what Qin Siyu said, Zhang Yuan did not have any concealment from Qin Siyu, and directly told Qin Siyu something that no one else could think of.

"Although a practitioner has no soul after death, he may leave some faint consciousness, and by chance, it is likely that this wisp of consciousness will remain forever. ”

Zhang Yuan's answer made Qin Siyu a little surprised, I don't know what Zhang Yuan meant by this, he asked him why he treated Xin Feizi differently, but what Zhang Yuan said was a matter of soul consciousness, so he could only look at Zhang Yuan suspiciously.

"There is an alchemy tripod on Lin Feng's body, and Lin Feng's father's consciousness has always existed in the ding, not a soul, just a trace of consciousness, as for Xin Feizi's matter, it is not my guess, it is all Lin Feng's father's consciousness told me, so, it is not that I want to drive Xin Feizi away, but Lin Feng's father has great doubts about Xin Feizi, so he asked me not to let Xin Feizi stay by Lin Feng's side. ”

After listening to Zhang Yuan's explanation, Qin Siyu could only be speechless, Qin Siyu knew about the space-time contact, and before he could only talk to the soul through the space-time contact, he didn't expect that after the upgrade, he could even directly talk to the things left behind by the cultivator after the fall, Qin Siyu didn't know how to describe the power of the space-time contact.

However, what made Qin Siyu even more incomprehensible was that Lin Feng's father could still leave a period of consciousness after death, you must know that cultivators and ordinary people are different, except for those cultivators who are outside the operation of the Heavenly Dao, as long as other cultivators are promoted to the innate realm, their souls will cease to exist, and they will be directly transformed into their own immortal consciousness, so after the fall of the cultivators, they will basically not leave anything, of course, if they directly split their souls before the fall, and leave a way back for themselves in advance, it should be another matter, but Lin Feng's father is obviously not the latter, but why did he leave a period of consciousness, it's not something that Qin Siyu can understand at this moment.
