What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Just as the two were talking, Sun Xu, who had been kneeling beside them, suddenly changed his expression.

"puff--!"

Without warning, Sun Xu spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, curled up on the ground, and convulsed.

Those wisps of pitch-black, viscous aura burst forth from his pores, transforming into wisps of blue smoke that drifted into the air.

"Oh no! It's a backlash from malevolent energy!"

Xiao Qiong's expression changed, and she instantly flashed to Sun Xu's side.

As a Dao Fusion Realm cultivator, he could tell at a glance that Sun Xu had just forcibly killed eight Flying Heaven Realm Thorn Feather Clan members. Although it seemed impressive, he had killed too many people in a short period of time, which allowed the evil energy of the Heavenly Battlefield to take advantage of him. At this moment, the evil energy had entered his body!

"Tsk tsk, getting carried away with the killing, huh?"

Xu Tianlin's unhurried voice drifted over.

Instead of helping, he seemed to be watching a show, leisurely turning the teacup in his hand.

"The evil energy has entered his body, this is troublesome." Xiao Qiong frowned, forcing herself to endure her serious injuries, and poured streams of pure Yuan energy into Sun Xu's body.

"Stop it, this is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Didn't you just question the effectiveness of our store?"

"To broaden your horizons."

Xu Tianlin interrupted him, pointing to a frosted glass door next to the counter.

"Turn left on the second floor, [Evil Qi Purification SPA Center]. Sun Xu, if you can move, hurry up and climb over there. 5000 credits per session."

"As for credits, they'll come from Candice's bounty."

Sun Xu was somewhat delirious, but he had witnessed the power of the evil energy purification SPA.

He mustered his strength and scrambled up to the second floor.

Xiao Qiong looked puzzled, then followed after him.

He wanted to see how Xu Tianlin, who was all talk about business, would handle the malevolent aura that was troublesome for all martial artists.

Sun Xu underwent the same purification process for evil energy as Candice.

Xiao Qiong was just as dumbfounded as Sun Xu was at the time.

Right under Xiao Qiong's nose, in just over ten minutes, Sun Xu, who had just been filled with murderous intent and looked like he was about to die, reappeared in front of him, lively and energetic.

Xiao Qiong was so surprised that she pinched off several strands of her beard.

"My Lord, I... ahhh—"

Sun Xu, who had just stepped down from the stone platform of the Evolution of Evil Qi SPA, was pulled in front of Xiao Qiong with a wave of her hand before he could finish speaking.

Xiao Qiong's withered hand pressed directly onto Sun Xu's forehead, startling Sun Xu so much that his face turned deathly pale.

The Yuan energy entered his body, and in an instant, it revealed the exact condition of Sun Xu's body.

The malevolent aura is gone, my cultivation level has increased, I've seen a ghost!

Xiao Qiong then instantly vanished from her spot using a teleport.

"Why is the Lord of the Manor acting so strangely?"

After muttering something to himself, Sun Xu patted his wildly beating heart and prepared to return to his room to cultivate.

--------

"The room is too expensive, 100 credits a day?"

"Turn right when you leave, no need to see me off."

"300 credits a day, I'll book all the rooms here!"

"Losing money."

"500 credits?"

"Damn it."

"The original price is 1000 credits per day, plus three free 'evil energy purification' SPA treatments! You can still make a profit!"

"Apart from the shop owner's smile, I can't give away anything else."

Having confirmed the effectiveness of the Qi-purifying SPA, Xiao Qiong rushed out and went to the front desk to negotiate the price with Xu Tianlin.

But clearly, Xu Tianlin wouldn't give an inch, and the old man Xiao Qiong was starting to get angry.

"You can't do business like this!"

Xiao Qiong slammed her hand on the counter, not caring that she was no match for the stubborn resort owner in front of her.

"Then you don't have to come~"

Xu Tianlin spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

Sorry, but monopolies are just that powerful!

Xu Tianlin had calculated that the old man in front of him would never give up such excellent conditions as the resort.

There is only one branch in the world!

No martial artist could resist the allure of a resort.

Xiao Qiong's hand, which was slapping the counter, froze.

He stared at Xu Tianlin, his chest heaving violently, a feeling of suffocation welling up inside him.

If this happened anywhere else, and someone dared to speak to him like that, he would have slapped the entire area within a ten-mile radius into ruins long ago.

But here, he not only dared not film, he even had to suppress his breathing rhythm.

What can you do if you can't beat them?

"Is the price really that bad?"

Xiao Qiong stared intently at Xu Tianlin's half-closed eyes.

"Even worse off than those thorny-feathered tribesmen."

Xu Tianlin pointed to the Thorn Feather Clan heads scattered throughout the hall, which Sun Xu had severed off.

Tsk, Sun Xu's cleaning fee will be deducted later.

The once peaceful hall is now covered in blood.

Xiao Qiong remained silent for a long time.

Finally, his taut shoulders slumped down, like a deflated balloon.

He recalled Sun Xu's transformed appearance just now. He also recalled the shift in the laws of nature within the room.

"call--"

Xiao Qiong let out a long breath.

"Fine, do as you say."

In that split second, he quickly did some mental calculations.

Is 1,000 credits a day expensive?

expensive.

Even for the genius students of Cangyun Academy, this is a huge sum of money.

But what if those thousand credits could buy a cultivation environment that was absolutely safe, immune to malevolent energy, and even accelerated one's comprehension...?

Xiao Qiong was certain that those martial arts families would absolutely spare no expense, with the entire family, young and old, living here together!

But before that...

The Youth Martial Arts Competition that Ling Shu mentioned!

This is also why Xiao Qiong, a dignified manor lord, was haggling with Xu Tianlin like a shrew.

"The government can only provide some subsidies."

Xiao Qiong made up her mind.

If all the outstanding young martial artists of Cangyun Prefecture were gathered at this resort—

Why worry about not winning?

When the time comes, under his leadership, Cangyun Prefecture will rise from the bottom of the twelve human prefectures to the top. He wants to see what kind of expression Ling Jian, the previous prefecture lord, will have!

Thinking of this, a smug smile inadvertently appeared on Xiao Qiong's face.

"Hehehe..."

His smile sent chills down Xu Tianlin's spine.

Is this old man the lord of the manor a lunatic?

He was about to make a move, but after getting beaten up, he started haggling with himself like an old lady at the market, but he couldn't get the price down. Now he's laughing instead.

A masochist?

Xu Tianlin silently took two steps back, afraid of being infected.

"Shopkeeper Xu, until we meet again!"

Xiao Qiong cupped her hands in a respectful gesture.

"I will be sending a batch of children over soon, and I hope the shop owner will take good care of them then."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianlin's eyes lit up slightly.

Group buying customers?

This is a really fat sheep!

No, this is the future star of humanity, we need to pay more... no, we need to provide better service.

"As long as you have enough credits, let alone a batch, even if you move the entire Cangyun Prefecture here, I can still accommodate you."

Xu Tianlin thumped his chest loudly.

Unexpectedly, before the effects of the Heavenly Jars could even be seen, a batch of official orders were received.

"This is nothing."

After seeing Xiao Qiong off, Xu Tianlin crossed his legs and chuckled softly.

"Once the resort reaches a higher level, I'm afraid all twelve human prefectures will move their administrative buildings here."

"Tsk, in that case, how about an auction without purchase limits?"

"The boss makes 28,000 a month, plus weekends off and annual leave."

"He spends all the money he earns however he wants; he still has 88,000 yuan left at the end of the month."

Xu Tianlin hummed a modified version of a folk tune, waiting for customers to come to his door.
