69. Etiquette and Etiquette Immortal Manor

Compared to Heaven's Gift, Huo Luan was much more natural.

Having lived in a large sect for more than ten years, he was well aware of the style of handling affairs in the sect head's seats. Scarlet Pills were important guests, so it was only natural that the Hollow Jade Sect would arrange their residences; he was not the least bit surprised.

As for following a fake Demon King, that was something impossible. Even if it was a True Demon King or a divine beast threatening him, there was no way they could make him compromise. After all, he had deep enmity with the Demon race.

If not for the close relationship between Chi Dan and Tian Ci, and the fact that he needed Tian Ci's help to find his little brother, he would definitely have thought of ways to kill Chi Dan.

Since he had to go with Chi Dan, he didn't want to offend Chi Dan, so he pretended not to hear Chi Dan's words.

Since the Demon King had his orders, Ding Xu dared not disobey and immediately led the way. As for what Chi Dan said to Huo Luan and Tian Ci, it had nothing to do with him.

Ding Xu led the way and left first. Chi Dan followed beside Ding Xu, while Tian Ci and Huo Luan followed behind him as they left the city.

The small team that followed Ding Xu still left two people to guard the city gate. The rest of them followed behind Tian Ci and Huo Luan.

"..."

As soon as the Monster King entered the city, the news spread like wildfire throughout the city.

When the timid ones knew that Chi Dan had entered from the west gate, they were truly worried that he would become enraged and massacre the entire city. They immediately left the city from the other three sects and would not dare to return for a short period of time.

Although there were some who were scared, they remembered that they had spent a mid-grade spirit stone to enter the city. They were not willing to leave the city before they could buy what they wanted, so they rushed to the other three city gates.

He was worried that Chi Dan might explode with anger and massacre the entire city, but he was also unwilling to leave. With people around, there was a sea of people at the gates of the three great cities of the east, south, and north.

People in the city were constantly gathering at the gate of the Southeastern North City. As a result, the direct disciples of the Hollow Jade Sect immediately gathered a large number of disciples to maintain order and persuade the people to leave the city gate.

It was a good thing that not everyone was like this. Otherwise, the three great inner city gates would surely be filled with calamities.

In fact, most people already believed that Chi Dan was an esteemed guest of the Hollow Jade Sect, but they did not get the confirmation and still felt panic in their hearts. In addition, a small portion of people had spread the rumor, causing the other three cities to be blocked.

Not everyone feared the Monster King. Some people heard that Scarlet Core entered the city, but not only did he not go to the other three gates, he instead went to the west side of the city to watch the excitement and pass on the news.

Chi Dan, who just entered the city, suddenly confronted some people from the Hollow Jade Sect, scaring some bold people. Some people regretted coming, and some people even ran away without any news. Only a few others were still relatively calm and didn't move.

After learning that Chi Dan was unhappy about the money he had to pay to enter the city, the people who stayed behind all had different thoughts. Some people despised him, some secretly laughed in their hearts, while others empathized with him.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, it became a false alarm. Sure enough, no one was disappointed. Those who didn't leave saw a farce.

On the way, Ding Xu took Chi Dan to the inn. Only very few people followed him. Some left the city, some did their own things, and some kind people headed to the other three gates to report.

When someone came to report the news of Chi Dan's farce in the city, the people gathered at the other three city gates relaxed and dispersed. Only then could the crisis at the city gates be resolved.

"… …"

The city of Songyu was one of the core cities in the trade, and it was very expensive to build a cave in the city. From a commercial point of view, it was not worth the money to build a cave in the city.

Song Yu city was a trading city after all. There were many merchants and rogue cultivators coming and going, and it was inevitable that there would be people staying and eating in the city. Therefore, there was no shortage of inns in the entire city.

The entire city of Songyu was hundreds of miles in radius. There were at least a hundred inns in the city, and the most famous of them all was the hospitable immortal estate.

A hospitable immortal estate; just by hearing the name, one could tell that it was not an ordinary inn. Indeed, a hospitable immortal estate was an inn used by the Hollow Jade Sect to receive esteemed guests from sects.

The hospitable immortal estate was located in the center of Songyu City. The entire immortal estate was built with jade, and it was supported by a large scale formation.

Every small room in the immortal estate had all sorts of concealment arrays. After the guest checked in, there was no need to worry about their safety at all, much less worry about the information being leaked.

There was a Spirit Gathering Formation in the small room, and it was filled with dense spirit energy for the guests to cultivate. Even if the guests could not use the Spirit Gathering Formation, they still had to have it.

Cultivators who cultivated well rarely cared about food, so the immortal estate never provided any ordinary food. Some of the food they provided had never been seen before in their lives, and were all rare and precious fruits without any ordinary animal meat or spirit beast meat.

The hospitable immortal estate that the sect specifically welcomed its honored guests was not only well-equipped, but also served in a first-rate manner.

When it came to service, the immortal estate could prepare any accessories, baths, food, or other things without mentioning anything. Those were all too vulgar. As long as one needed, one's dual cultivation partner would be able to provide them.

However, there were over a hundred inns in the entire city, and if one were to say that their business was the worst, the hospitable immortal estate dared to admit it as number two, and no inn dared to admit it as number one.

The Esteemed Guest Immortal Manor was built by the Hollow Jade Sect with all their might. It was built not for the purpose of earning high spirit stones, but to receive distinguished guests. No matter how many spirit stones you have, you cannot obtain the sect's approval.

The Etiquette Immortal Mansion was a place that received both high-level officials from various big sects and famous people with high cultivation bases. Small sects and cultivators with no reputations were not allowed to enter.

Normally, disciples would have to spend the night in the city when they went down the mountain. There was a dedicated inn in the city, and only the Sect Masters and Sect Masters of the various peaks were qualified to stay in the hospitable immortal estate. If any other disciple wanted to stay, they would have to apply to the sect.

What kind of status did the Monster King have? How could he live in those unranked inns? Only the most hospitable immortal estate in the entire city was worthy of his status.

Therefore, Ding Xu took Chi Dan, Tian Ci, and Huo Luan to the hospitable immortal estate.

What kind of person was Heaven's Gift?

An uncultivated mortal wasn't even considered an ordinary cultivator; how could he have been able to enter the hospitable immortal estate?

Fortunately, he had obtained the Scarlet Core; otherwise, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to approach the entrance of the Esteemed Immortal Manor.

Previously, Fu Yun wanted to leave Chi Dan with him, and he even wanted to keep Chi Dan with him. If he didn't have Chi Dan with him now, no one would even care about him, much less bring him to the hospitable immortal estate.

Compared to Heaven's Gift, Huo Luan was slightly different. Her cultivation was stronger than Ding Xu, and with the support of a large sect, she did not lack money.

The only troublesome matter was that he couldn't enter the hospitable immortal estate even with money. With his cultivation base, he could get close to the hospitable immortal estate, but not even if he wanted to.

However, with Chi Dan around, the status of Tian Ci and Huo Luan were different. From the perspective of outsiders, they had been branded with the title of esteemed guest, and no one dared to stop them.

"Hello everyone, do you remember where we met?"

On the way to the hospitable immortal estate, Chi Dan was very cordial. No matter whether or not a passerby recognized him, he would take the initiative to greet them and say a few words of greeting.

Even though the hospitable immortal estate was established in the center of the city, there were no shops within a few streets, and very few people came.

The streets far away from the hospitable immortal estate were bustling with activity as streams of people flowed in and out of the streets. The closer they got to the hospitable immortal estate, the fewer people there were. In the end, not even a single person could be seen.

All these years, Chi Dan had always been unable to control his mouth. When he opened his mouth to speak, he would always scare them off, so he spent more time in the wilderness than in the city.

It had been following beside a child all year round, and it was not very mature. It loved to liven things up, and when it saw that there were fewer people on the street, it became very unhappy and could only vent its anger on Ding Xu.

"Hey, kid, where are you taking me?"

"Why isn't there anyone on this street?"

"What are you going to do to us?"

The anger of the Demon King was not something that just anyone could handle. This was the core trading city of the sect, and once Chi Dan was enraged, the sect would suffer a huge loss. Ding Xu definitely could not afford it.

Along the way, he was worried that his words would cause the Demon King to misunderstand and only cared about leading the way. He didn't say a single word, but in the end, he still encountered Chi Dan who caused him trouble. He was truly aggrieved to the extreme.

No matter how wronged he was, in order to dispel Chi Dan's misunderstanding, he still had to explain clearly.

"Your Highness Demon King, don't misunderstand, the inn we're going to is the best inn in the entire city, the Guest Immortal Manor. Normally, we won't let any random person linger around!"

There was no one on the whole street and Heaven's Gift was also very curious. He had originally wanted to ask the person following him, but Little Dan had asked Ding Xu first, so he didn't need to ask any further.

After hearing Ding Xu's explanation, he finally understood the reason.

Compared to being gifted by heaven, Huo Luan did not find it strange at all. After all, the sect had spent all their efforts to create an inn to entertain the guests and naturally did not allow idle people to disturb the guests.

"Un, why aren't you continuing to lead the way!"

If he had known that Chi Dan was a hustler, Ding Xu wouldn't have gone through all this trouble just to create trouble for him.

As for leading the way, the inn was right in front of them, they could see it if they raised their heads. Of course, there was no need for him to lead the way, he carefully pointed at the inn's signboard and told Chi Dan.

"Your Highness, look, we've arrived!"

As soon as he arrived, he was unfamiliar with this place. Chi Dan was so busy looking around that he did not notice that everyone had already arrived at the inn. After Ding Xu's reminder, he raised his head and looked up.

Although demon beasts did not have spiritual awareness or spiritual awareness, they had the ability to sense and sense everything around them. The Demon King's ability to sense was in no way weaker than a cultivator in the tribulation stage.

Logically speaking, with the hospitable immortal estate in front of them, they should have already discovered it long ago. However, this was not the case. If this happened, Ding Xu would definitely have guessed who it was.

In order to not expose any flaws, Chi Dan could only angrily rebuke Ding Xu to cover it up.

"I saw it long ago, you don't need to say anything!"

The inn was right in front, but Chi Dan did not notice anything. With the power of the Monster King, this should not be the case. Ding Xu had indeed suspected Chi Dan's identity.

However, after being angrily rebuked by Chi Dan, he once again dispelled his doubts.

At the same time, not only was he not praised, he was even scolded. Wasn't this deliberately bullying others? He felt extremely wronged.
