Chapter 665 Overcrowded
"Young master, I haven't seen you before. Are you new here?"
The shopkeeper's beautiful eyes sparkled as she asked with a smile.
Those eyes were still sizing up Ning Qi, revealing a hint of curiosity.
"good."
Ning Qi nodded frankly: "I haven't been here long."
"I knew it!"
The shopkeeper nodded slightly and then asked, "Which realm are you from?"
"He has no fixed abode and is a wandering monk."
"However, they are now members of our Thousand Crane Sect."
Before Ning Qi could explain, Li Qiuwan quickly said...
She did have her own selfish motives, too.
The concern was that Ning Qi would be poached by the shopkeeper in front of them.
Having finally encountered such a wealthy and powerful expert, how could we let him go so easily?
Whether it's the spiritual essence liquid or the spiritual essence essence in his hands, even her sect leader might not have this much.
In addition, there is his unfathomable strength.
Although they've known each other for a few days, she still doesn't know Ning Qi's true strength.
Because his true strength has never had a chance to be revealed.
"Oh, the Thousand Crane Sect?"
Upon hearing her words, the shopkeeper frowned deeply: "Never heard of it. Was it just brought up?"
I've never heard of this sect in the Immortal Realm, so they must be people from some unknown place in the Immortal Realm.
As for where it came from, that remains unknown.
Beyond the Immortal Realm lies a vast expanse.
She had no interest in knowing any of this.
Originally, they thought Ning Qi was a young master from the Immortal Realm, which is why they specially summoned him.
However, it seems that's not the case now.
But he isn't. How could he be so wealthy and powerful?
"Yes, we were just summoned!"
Li Qiuwan didn't hide anything and spoke frankly.
Her words were neither humble nor arrogant, and she clearly explained their situation.
Even those who are not from the Immortal Realm have a chance to come, so this opportunity is one in a hundred years.
If the Immortal Realm hadn't been short-handed, they wouldn't have had this opportunity.
She herself didn't know why she was able to come here this time.
"Yes, everything is packed."
"Let's go out through our back door later."
The shopkeeper immediately lost interest in Ning Qi.
Even a third-rate sect might have some geniuses or experts.
Thank you.
Ning Qi stood up as he spoke.
He had assumed the shopkeeper had something else to say.
Unexpectedly, they only inquired about his background and then said nothing more.
It seems that even though people from the mortal realm are also from the immortal realm, there is still a distinction between the noble and the lowly.
But that's fine too, at least no one will have designs on us.
"see a visitor out."
The shopkeeper simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then called out towards the door.
"Gentlemen, please follow me."
Soon, a waiter came over and respectfully greeted the two.
"it is good."
Ning Qi didn't hesitate and agreed, then left with them.
After they left, the shopkeeper turned his gaze back.
"Piaopiao, should I follow him and see what's going on?"
At that moment, a young man came out from behind.
After coming out, I asked directly.
"No need, there's no need to offend a prodigy for this."
The shopkeeper's name is Liu Piaopiao.
After listening to the young man's words, she responded slowly.
"He can be considered a prodigy? I think his strength is nothing special, he just has some spiritual essence."
The young man scoffed and said dismissively.
He was very dissatisfied with Liu Piaopiao being called a prodigy.
"He was hiding his true strength."
Liu Piaopiao smiled and continued, "I feel that his strength is at least at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm."
"I felt powerless in front of him just now."
"My aura couldn't even budge him in the slightest."
"Oh, peak Golden Immortal level?"
The young man's expression turned serious after hearing her words.
If Liu Piaopiao praised him, then his strength must be considerable.
Someone who looks unremarkable actually has such strength.
"That's right, and we don't need to go looking for him."
"The others at the auction must have been eyeing him for a while now."
"If you're interested, you can go and watch secretly."
"However, we'll have to wait until tomorrow; they probably won't leave tonight."
Liu Piaopiao looked out the door, smiled, and said.
"Alright, I'll go outside the city tomorrow and keep an eye out for where there might be fighting."
The young man nodded, then turned and left.
After he left, Liu Piaopiao got up and went to the window.
They turned their attention to the backyard.
At this moment, Ning Qi and Li Qiuwan had already arrived at the door.
Just then, the two of them opened the door to go out, and the waiter was saying goodbye to them.
Ning Qi and Li Qiuwan left the house together.
"Let's find an inn."
Ning Qi looked at the sky; it was now completely dark.
After all that trouble, they have successfully missed their chance to leave.
"Yes, we have no choice but to find an inn."
Li Qiuwan nodded, then sighed.
A look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
"Let's go."
Ning Qi waved to her.
Then they left.
Li Qiuwan followed.
The two quickly left through the back door and entered the bustling street.
It's said that many people leave at night, but it seems there are still quite a few wealthy people.
"These are all people from the Immortal Realm. Even if they don't give away any spiritual essence, they can stay here."
Li Qiuwan explained to him, "So, there are still quite a few people here."
"I see."
Ning Qi then understood what was going on.
"Also, a lot of people suddenly arrived, many of whom were invited."
"Naturally, they also have special rights to stay here."
"So there are a lot more people here than usual."
Li Qiuwan explained as she walked.
"Okay, let's go to this one."
As Ning Qi listened to her, he found an inn.
"it is good."
Li Qiuwan showed no intention of continuing the search.
Hearing him say that, they immediately stopped.
Focus your attention on what's ahead.
There are many people coming and going at the inn in front of us.
"Gentlemen, are you looking for a place to stay?"
They had just arrived at the door when a waiter came over and asked them a question.
"Yes, book two superior rooms."
Ning Qi agreed and then walked straight inside.
"You should go somewhere else, we're already full."
The waiter looked somewhat embarrassed as he spoke.
"Fully booked?"
Ning Qi stopped upon hearing what he said.
I never expected this place to be so full.
"Yes, it's just full."
The man nodded in response.
"Okay, let's go to another one."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiuwan continued walking forward.
Ning Qi glanced at the people at the inn and could only follow them out.
The two soon arrived at another establishment, with Li Qiuwan heading upstairs first.
"Gentlemen, would you like to stay at an inn or have a meal?"
The clerk at the door asked the same question.
"Where are you staying?" Li Qiuwan asked, frowning slightly.
"We're already full. You'd better look elsewhere!"
The waiter shook his head and pointed ahead: "There are a few more inns over there."
"Let's go."
Ning Qi shook his head and continued walking forward.
They walked for a while and went to several inns, but all they got the same result.
It's already fully occupied.
"What can we do? We can't just leave it on the street!"
Ning Qi sighed and looked ahead.
"Look at these people, aren't they all preparing to go out on the street?"
Li Qiuwan pointed to the roadside, where some people were already sitting cross-legged.
Clearly, they couldn't find an inn either, so they decided to rest here.
It's only one night; they just need to adjust their breathing and it will be over.
"Let's go over there and take a look. I see fewer people there, so maybe there are inns with available seats."
Ning Qi pointed to the direction of a small alley, where there were far fewer people compared to here.
"Okay, let's look at one last place. If we still can't find one, we'll find a place to meditate and relax."
"The night will pass quickly!"
Li Qiuwan nodded and made the suggestion.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Ning Qi also gave up.
They've already searched many guesthouses, but continuing the search won't yield any results.
It would be better to find a place to rest and recuperate as soon as possible.
Once it gets light, you can leave.
The two hit it off immediately and then walked straight ahead.
They soon arrived at the alley and found an inn there.
However, there are also quite a few people.
The two looked at each other and then walked straight inside.
"Gentlemen, would you like to stay at an inn?"
A waiter came out smiling and asked.
"Hmm, are there any private rooms available?"
Ning Qi nodded and asked in a deep voice.
If this place really doesn't have it, then you can just leave.
At worst, I can find a place to recuperate.
"There's one last room, it's a bit small, would you two like to take a look?"
The waiter nodded and greeted him.
"Okay, let's go take a look!"
Ning Qi agreed without waiting for Li Qiuwan to say anything.
Something is better than nothing.
Even meditating in a private room is much better than doing it on the street.
"please."
The waiter extended an invitation.
The two exchanged a glance and then followed him inside.
They quickly went upstairs and then came to a corner.
The waiter opened a door, turned around, and said, "Gentlemen, this is the room."
Ning Qi nodded and went inside.
That's when I realized that the room was indeed a bit small.
And there's only one bed.
"This room will do. Do you have a small courtyard?"
Ning Qi glanced at it and couldn't help but ask.
"No, the ones with courtyards are already occupied."
The waiter shook his head and continued, "This is the only one available right now, but the price is the same as the others."
"What? It's so small, and you still want a normal price?"
"Then let's go."
After hearing what he said, Li Qiuwan knew why no one lived there.
Such a small room, yet people still pay full price to stay there; no wonder no one lives there now.
"There are no rooms available for you even if you go out."
"There's something going on in our city tonight, so everyone's back."
Seeing their reaction, the waiter reminded them, "If you're not staying at the hotel, you'll have to sleep on the streets."
"If anything happens, you'll be drafted. Staying in the store will help you avoid being drafted."
"What do you mean?"
"What happened?"
Ning Qi couldn't help but show curiosity when he heard him say that.
I never imagined there could be anything going on here.
"It seems like some demons have come in, but I'm not sure. You can decide whether you want to stay or not."
The waiter shook his head and asked directly.
"live."
Ning Qi responded without hesitation.
"Alright, five thousand spirit marrow liquid."
The man nodded and said directly.
"Give."
Ning Qi didn't even frown, and directly handed the storage bag to him.
The waiter took it, weighed it in his hand, and then said with a smile, "Gentlemen, you'll be glad you made that choice tonight."
"There's a window in this room. If you hear any noise at night, you can open it and check what's going on outside."
"it is good."
Ning Qi didn't waste any more words and agreed.
"Goodbye. There are always people downstairs who can come and help if you need anything!"
The waiter waved to the two men and then hurried downstairs.
After he left, the two of them went inside.
Ning Qi casually closed the door.
"You sleep in the bed tonight, I'll stay here."
Ning Qi pointed to the bed, then to a futon beside it.
This place is clearly designed specifically for people to regulate their breathing.
"I can't accept this, you should go to sleep."
Li Qiuwan shook her head and did not accept.
After all, these spiritual essences belonged to Ning Qihua, so how could she possibly use them?
"Why are you being so polite with me? Just go to sleep peacefully."
Ning Qi smiled and then went to the table: "However, before you go to sleep, eat something first."
"Huh? There's more?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qiuwan couldn't help but ask.
"Oh right, you forgot, we brought food to give to them when we got back."
"But given the current situation, we don't need to go out, so let's just eat by ourselves!"
Ning Qi nodded, and couldn't help but smile as he reminded him.
As he spoke, he brought out a table full of delicious food.
Many of them were still steaming hot.
"That's all we can do."
Li Qiuwan nodded, and then, without standing on ceremony, sat down directly at the table.
"Here, I also have some fine wine."
As Ning Qi spoke, he took out a pot of wine.
He personally poured her a glass of wine as well.
"You've prepared quite a lot."
Li Qiuwan couldn't help but smile.
"Of course, come on! Let's have a drink!"
Ning Qi also sat down, raised his glass, and smiled.
"cheers."
Li Qiuwan didn't hesitate and clinked glasses with him directly.
The two of them drank it all at the same time.
"Let's eat. Who knows, there might be some excitement tonight."
Ning Qi reminded him as he ate.
"I don't want that to happen, otherwise those sects outside will suffer."
Li Qiuwan sighed: "Junior brothers will definitely be sent out as the vanguard."
"In that case, their chances of survival are slim."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Since everyone has decided to come here, they have to be prepared for this."
Ning Qi took a sip of wine and then said, "If that's the case, then being in the city isn't such a bad thing."
"I don't know what happened. Logically speaking, the demons shouldn't be able to kill their way here."
A look of confusion appeared on Li Qiuwan's pretty face.
"If there's any noise, I'll go out and check it out."
Ning Qi replied nonchalantly upon hearing this.
He hasn't had a chance to test his strength since his breakthrough, but now is a good opportunity.
"No, that's too dangerous."
Li Qiuwan shook her head and said worriedly. (End of Chapter)
