Chapter 331: A Waste of Money
The clerk clearly explained the various types of accommodation that their inn offered, and what benefit and drawback each type of room had. He never mentioned the lower-ranked rooms as being bad, but stressed the quality and comfort they provided, and that they would be more than enough for one day"s rest.
Bai Rouyun could not help but praise the clerk, as he did not seem to be looking down on those who booked the smaller rooms, and instead felt that booking a big room when only resting for one or two nights was wasteful.
After explaining the various benefits of the rooms, he began to explain that every room, the bigger and smaller alike, would have the same kind of formation that kept them secure and that only a person who had broken through the fifth rank of the Corporeal Shedding would be able to forcefully enter.
Although Bai Rouyun had not been at the Wushi Continent for long, she had been taught about the various ranks of the Ascended Realm multiple times, and knew that it was split into three sub-realms, the Core Construction Realm, the Soul Refinement Realm, and the Corporeal Shedding Realm. Each of these sub-realms were further split into nine ranks, and only after breaking through the Corporeal Shedding rank nine would the cultivator be able to step into true immortality.
From this, it could be seen how powerful the protective formations were, and Bai Rouyun nodded her head in approval.
"I would like to book one of your small individual rooms, and I would like to book it for a week from today." Bai Rouyun decided on one of the small rooms after careful consideration, and she also booked it one week in advance.
She had considered moving into one of the courtyards in the back, but after thinking everything through, she still felt that the smaller rooms were more suitable.
She had the Primal Chaos PaG.o.da in her hand, and she had to be careful not to show it off to others. It had caused her death once before, and she had understood that most treasures had to be kept a secret to ensure her own safety.
Under usual circ.u.mstances, she would book a courtyard, so that her adopted children would be able to leave the Primal Chaos PaG.o.da as they pleased to be together with her, but she quickly changed her mind when hearing about the overwhelming security that this inn provided.
Bai Rouyun was, in theory, able to live within the Primal Chaos Dimension, and would not need to book a room at all, but the risk was too great.
Every time she entered the Primal Chaos Dimension, her body would vanish from the real world and enter her pocket dimension, and when she returned, she would, in the same way, appear out of nowhere.
If anyone witnessed her sudden appearance like this, they would know that she possessed a high-ranked treasure. Even if they did not know the origin or specifics of this treasure, they would still be tempted.
At the same time, if she booked an individual room like the one she just mentioned, she would be able to enter the Primal Chaos Dimension in her room and live a leisurely life within the dimension while officially being in the room.
However, many times the rooms in the various inns were not secure enough, so Bai Rouyun would not trust them enough to enter and exit her pocket dimension as she pleased, so she would usually book a larger room for them to rest inside.
With the explained formations, Bai Rouyun understood that this room was secure enough for her to rest in her own dimension, and she could keep a low profile at the same time.
Although she had been given the Spirit Crystal Card by Sun Junmeng, and that she had no doubt that it contained enough wealth to book the courtyards in the back, she still did not see the need to do so when it was not necessary. Even if this inn was more upscale, it was hard to guard against the unknown, and even if she had someone backing her, it was not worth it to attract greedy cultivators.
The clerk nodded his head in approval. He was very neutral when explaining the various rooms and their benefits, but inside his heart, he genuinely preferred the cheaper rooms.
He was merely a clerk at an inn, and although he came from humble origins, he still had his own pride and views on the world.
He had been struggling to become a cultivator, but he was unwilling to put any financial strain on his parents, so every resource he used was earned by himself with his own hard work.
Most of the guests that came to the inn would book the most expensive and most luxurious rooms, and while the clerk felt that it was their own decision and he had no right to comment, he still had a very hard time understanding why they were so obsessed with status.
Even the cheaper rooms in the inn were of the same quality, and they only cost a fraction of the suites on the upper floor, but when looking at it from a very naked line of sight, they did not provide anything else than more s.p.a.ce and luxurious decorations.
This was why, when the young clerk met Bai Rouyun, he tried to highlight the benefits of the cheaper rooms once again, but the woman was so beautiful and elegant that he feared that she would not listen to him.
When she asked for a small independent room, he felt as if he had done a good deed, and although he was still as polite as before, even Bai Rouyun could sense that he was very happy with her decision.
He was a strange fellow.
