Chapter 350: Strange Daoist Yi

Yi Qinglan said indifferently, “Chief Yue, there’s no need to be so frugal. Since I’ve invited you to be a tour guide, I naturally won’t allow you to spend all kinds of expenses. Let’s have a room for each of us.”

Yue Jianli smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Junior sister Li and I often sleep together, so there’s no need to spend any more money.”

“Often sleeping together?” Yi Qinglan clenched her fists tightly and glared at Li Ran with hatred.

Li Ran’s gaze drifted, not daring to look at her.

“This guy… I’ll settle this with you later!”

Yi Qinglan gritted her teeth and asked, “Shopkeeper, how many rooms are there?”

Shopkeeper glanced at her and said, “There are still ten rooms left in the upper room. Rooms are very abundant.”

Yi Qinglan nodded and said, “Alright, I want all ten rooms!”

“Alright!”

Shopkeeper beamed.

This was a big customer!

Yue Jianli asked suspiciously, “We only have four people. Do we need to book so many rooms?”

Yi Qinglan said coldly, “This poor Daoist doesn’t like the people in the rooms at the side. Also, we must sleep in one room each today!”

……..

Yue Jianli scratched her head.

She did not know where she had provoked this Daoist.

Li Ran wiped his cold sweat silently.

Just as they were about to walk upstairs, the shopkeeper stopped Yi Qinglan.

He rubbed his hands and said with a smile, “Please pay the room fee. Ten rooms for one night are twenty taels of silver.”

For mortals, this price was not low at all.

“Oh!”

Yi Qinglan didn’t care at all. She waved her sleeve, and a pile of spirit stones landed on the table.

“There’s no need to look.”

……..

Shopkeeper looked at the amber-colored little stone in front of her and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “Honored guest, do you think I’m an idiot?”

“This isn’t a stone. It’s a high-grade spirit stone,” Yi Qinglan said confidently. “This poor Daoist had already bought candied gourd and eaten them at the street entrance. Why don’t you accept them here?”

Shopkeeper didn’t know how to reply, and his eyes seemed to look at an idiot.

“Could it be that you think it’s too little?”

Yi Qinglan once again began to toss the spirit stones, piling them up on the table like a small mountain.

For a moment, it filled with multicolored light and spirit Qi.

Li Ran hastily stopped her and put away the spirit stones before taking out a banknote and placing it on the table.

“Use this. There’s no need to check it.”

Only then did the shopkeeper reveal a bloody smile. Nodding his head and bowing, he said, “Please, guests. If you need anything, please call me.”

They walked upstairs.

“Why didn’t he take the spirit stones? Could it be that they don’t have enough quality?”

Li Ran gave her the spirit stone and laughed. “Does Daoist Yi know that this is a mortal world? In the eyes of cultivators, spirit stones are hard currency, but in the hands of mortals, they are not worth one tael of silver.”

Yi Qinglan was puzzled. “You can exchange spirit stones for silver, and this thing has its own value.”

Spirit stones were actually natural ores.

It contained a wealth of spiritual power and was generally purer than the spiritual energy in the air. It could be used to assist in cultivation or replenish one’s own body.

According to the amount and purity of the spiritual energy, it was divided into three grades: low, medium, and high.

Currency that belonged to cultivators could also be exchanged with true gold and silver.

A high-grade spirit stone was enough to buy a house in a large city.

Li Ran shook his head and said, “Not to mention whether they recognize this spirit stone or not, even if they know it’s worth a thousand gold, how could they dare to use it? A commoner is not guilty. A wealthy commoner is guilty. There is no way for mortals to talk to cultivators on an equal footing.”

“If Daoist Yi gives them this, it’s possible that she might have harmed them.”

“Oh…”

Yi Qinglan scratched her head and said in a low voice, “This lowly one knows.”

Actually, this reasoning was very simple. It was impossible for her to understand it. It was just that she had been separated from the mortal world for hundreds of years, making it very difficult for her to use the thinking of a mortal to consider a problem.

Corners of Li Ran’s mouth curled into a smile as he sent a voice transmission, “Master Qinglan, if you’re free, don’t run away from the mortal world. I’m afraid you’ll be sold off and even help with the money.”

He really couldn’t figure out how Yi Qinglan’s brain worked.

“Hmph, you really think I’m stupid?”

Yi Qinglan’s face was slightly red, and she angrily pinched him. “This poor Daoist will not fall for your trick in this lifetime!”

Li Ran’s face turned green from pain.

However, he was worried that the other two would notice something, so he could only endure it and not make a sound.

Four of them arrived on the third floor.

There were a total of ten upper rooms here, all of which completely covered by them.

Li Ran casually picked a room facing south. “I’ll sleep in this room. The rest of you can do as you like.”

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Yi Qinglan decisively chose the room next to him.

Lin Langyue was puzzled. “Master, didn’t you say you didn’t like anyone in the next room?”

Cough! Cough!

Yi Qinglan’s expression was awkward as she cleared her throat and said, “Has this poor Daoist ever said that?”

“Yes.”

Lin Langyue and Yue Jianli nodded seriously.

In the end, under the gaze of two of them, Yi Qinglan could only helplessly live opposite Li Ran.

Yue Jianli stood in the corridor, rubbing her chin in confusion.

Lin Langyue asked curiously, “What are you thinking?”

“Chief Lin, do you feel… That Daoist Yi acting weird?”

Mn!

Lin Langyue nodded. “Master is indeed a bit strange recently, especially today.”

“Did I provoke her somewhere?”

Lin Langyue consoled her, “That won’t happen. Although Master’s personality is a bit cold, she’s still very reasonable. She won’t easily vent her anger on others.”

“That’s good.”

Yue Jianli heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, she was on the same level as her master. Regardless of strength or status, she could not be careless.

“Don’t worry, Chief Yue… Oh right, that pear garden you’re talking about, is there a show tonight?”

“Yes, but it’s a little late…”

As the two chatted, they walked into the room.

……

In the room.

Li Ran sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind sinking into his thoughts.

The silver stars in his thoughts had already merged into a ball of silver light. It was like a full moon hanging in the sky, emitting a sharp sword intent.

Emperor-level Sword Qi he had absorbed in the Sword Purification Pool had fused with the Yunling Spear Intent, forming a silver-white ‘astral qi’.

The most peculiar thing was that this Sword Qi was no longer a consumable item.

Instead, it would be continuously produced by the Sword Qi.

Previously, in the secret plane, he had compressed the Heavenly Flames in his heart, and his Sword Qi had been exhausted.

However, it had already been completely replenished.

Moreover, the quality of the newly formed Sword Qi was the same as before. The blazing silver light flickered in his thoughts.

Li Ran nodded inwardly, “It should be due to the martial arts cultivation method of the Myriad Sword Pavilion and Yunling spear intent…”

Just as he was deep in thought, a familiar voice came into his ears.

“Little thief, what are you doing?”

Li Ran opened his eyes and saw Yi Qinglan standing in front of him with her hands behind her back. She was looking at him curiously.

“Master?”
