Reil's Inn. It was the inn that the little girl suggested. Their business had been running for a hundred years now and they had an amazing histories of emperors and heavenlies staying the night there. However, as time passed by, many large competitors appeared one after another and their business went from being successful to almost at the brink of destruction.
Jin Rou looked at the inside features of the inn and nodded. It had an ancient decorative aura that was comfortable to the feeling. Not just that, the pearls hanging around by the door and in the middle were beautiful enough to catch anyone's gaze.
But the thing was no one except them were here. No customers playing by the looby or eating at the cafeteria. It was death silence as if this was a ghosted place.
"Little Fifi has returned!" The little girl shouted as she hopped around, "And I brought some customers!"
"Xiao Fi, where have you been? I was so worried about you!" A lady probably in her 20's appeared and examined the little girl, "Are you okay? Does any part of you hurt?"
"Sister Lili, I'm okay. I just came out to help out find customers since we haven't had one since the last two weeks!" Xiao Fi smiled, "And don't worry about me. I am already a big girl. I can take care of myself. See this? I have brought three customers! Did I do good?"
The little girl was expecting a praise as she asked. Her eyes were shining like brilliant diamonds in the sky.
"Yes yes, you did good." Sister Lili rubbed Xiao Fi's head and smiled, "You have grown well. You will become better than Sister someday."
"Hiyay!" The little girl was excited upon hearing the compliments.
Sister Lili smiled wryly and looked at the three unfamiliar customers they had and said, "What type of room do you prefer?"
"Do you have a room which consists of three bedrooms?" Lucas asked.
"Yes. However, we only have the luxury rooms as of now because the regular rooms are unavailable." Sister Lili said.
"It's okay. How much will it cost for a large luxury room?" Lucas smiled. He knew that there were underlying circumstances here so he didn't bother to make it difficult to the other party.
"9,000 dao coins per night." Sister Lili answered.
Then, Lucas immediately handed over a pouch and smiled, "This contained 10,000 dao coins. Keep the change."
Sister Lili was frozen for a moment before grabbing the key to the room and said, "Room 40 on the left. Thank you for your patronage."
Lucas accepted the keys proceeded to the stairs going second floor while the other two followed suit.
Upon entering the room, Lucas was in amazement as he could see how extravagant and resourceful this room was. You could see many types of pearls and a lamp by each bedroom.
Next, he sat on the bed to feel if it was comfortable. And to his satisfaction, it was. The beds were so soft that anyone would have a good night sleep when they sleep.
"This room is great." Tiresh also gave her review and nodded, "Cleanliness is also up to par. 9,000 dao coins, it's definitely worth it."
"Dao coins, is this the currency used here in Immortal?" Jin Rou asked in curiosity.
"Yes, Young Master. It is the currency used and the only currency that is being used." Lucas opened the window curtains and said, "A mortal's minimum wage is about 300-500 dao coins per day, depending on the work they have. Even for us emperors, dao coins are important as it can also be used for cultivation."
"So throwing 9,000 of that for us to stay here hurt your pocket?" Jin Rou smiled.
"No, not at all. Compared to the help I'm going to receive, even if I were to spend a million of it for your expense, I will not mind." Lucas said, showing his determination. He might need dao coins for his further cultivation but compared to the blessing up ahead, his treasury wasn't that much.
Jin Rou didn't comment on this and just closed his eyes. He wanted to search for clues regarding the place with the thickest chaos energy here and at the same time, he could take a physical rest.
---
Several hours passed, the sun was almost rising from the east. Jin Rou opened his eyes and saw the sun slowly showing itself from the distant horizon.
"Hera's Domain." Jin Rou muttered these two words. In the last night of searching for certain clues, he luckily stumbled upon a fortunate information.
Hera's Domain. It was a place here in the State Region which was rumored to have the thickest chaos energy aside from the Mountain of Isolation where the Darkglow Clan resided.
But the problem was the domain was restricted by the clan for some unknown reasons. Nevertheless, Jin Rou was still going to pay that place a visit. It would be a waste not to try his luck there.
"Good morning, Young Master. You have woken up early." Lucas said, "I have prepared a set of balanced breakfast for you downstairs so if you are in the mood, please try it."
"Better. I'm feeling hungry anyway." Jin Rou hopped off the bed and said, "Let's go."
Jin Rou and Lucas took their breakfast and a few minutes after, Tiresh woke up took hers too.
After finishing their meal, Jin Rou looked at the Sister Lili who was standing by the front desk and asked, "Hello, do you perhaps know something about Hera's Domain?"
"Hera's Domain?" Sister Lili was startled by this question, "It is quite a sensitive information you are asking, Esteemed Customer."
"Don't worry, just tell me what you know. Or, do you have a price for your information?" Jin Rou asked. Although he didn't have money, Lucas had, so it wouldn't pose as a problem if it was an information with a price tag.
"No need." Sister Lili shook her head, "The Hera's Domain is the most treasured places of the Darkglow Clan here in this State Region. After all, it has the thickest chaos energy that couldn't be found elsewhere except from their mountain."
