Ye Yun was depressed for a moment, having forgotten such a crucial matter.
Finally, he let out a sigh and made a decision.
"Forget it, I'll try to find a way to Mount Chaofeng first. I can absorb the immortal's遗物 along the way."
With his current configuration, reaching the Profound Immortal realm would lead to a massive surge in combat power.
After all, his safety was intertwined with Xueyan and the others in the master-disciple space.
Once he leveled up, if any accidents occurred on Mount Chaofeng or along the journey, he would have the strength to cope…
Immediately, Ye Yun put away the jade slip and the immortal's遗物. Before leaving, he took one last look at the rope, as well as some of the intimate magical treasures on the bedside table.
After a long while, he rubbed his chin and mused.
"If I get the chance, I really want to catch that fellow and let her experience it deeply…"
After a brief imagination, he first used the rope to control the other party, then used the very tools she had feared the night before.
The other party's noble and cold demeanor, from initial resistance, fear, and unwillingness, to gradual indulgence and depravity.
Hmm…
Ye Yun's old face flushed, and he couldn't help but cough lightly.
"Alas… it's all that fellow's fault, how did this seat's thoughts become so vulgar."
To stop himself from overthinking, Ye Yun quickly left the room.
After going downstairs, he heard the counter staff say with a faint smile.
"Is the esteemed guest leaving?"
"Yes."
Ye Yun nodded, and the staff member continued with a smile.
"Then we welcome you back next time."
Then, as if remembering something, he added.
"Oh, and esteemed guest, please be careful. I heard this morning that the ancient demon Xing Wu has appeared in our city."
"Please be cautious and do not provoke them. I heard that fellow ate several people in the city last night…"
Hearing this, Ye Yun's expression turned somewhat strange.
Provoked Xing Wu? More than just provoked, he had been forced to share a bed with her.
He couldn't help but retort, "I say, eating people, that's just a rumor, right?"
The staff member, however, shook his head with a serious expression.
"Although there's no evidence, such rumors don't appear out of thin air. Esteemed guest, it's best to be careful."
Ye Yun sighed, unable to tell this person.
That the ancient demon you're talking about was in my bed last night, shamelessly taking advantage of me.
It seems that no matter how high-level the world, spreading rumors is always a pastime for some people.
"Never mind, let's not talk about this. Do you know where I can buy a map of the Heavenly Domain? The more detailed, the better."
Hearing this, the staff member thought for a moment and said.
"There's one in the east of the city. You can get a pretty detailed map for about ten low-grade Profound Crystals."
"Ten low-grade Profound Crystals… hmm, that's quite cheap."
Ye Yun nodded. According to the description in the jade slip Xing Wu gave him,
the main currency in the Heavenly Domain was Profound Crystals, divided into four qualities: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
The exchange rate between each quality was one hundred to one. For example, one hundred low-grade Profound Crystals equaled one mid-grade Profound Crystal, and so on.
Generally speaking, the monthly offering for a peak Profound Immortal cultivator at the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall was about one mid-grade Profound Crystal.
As for the price of a room at this Red Dust Tower, a single room for one night was only two or three low-grade Profound Crystals.
As for Xing Wu last night, she had left a high-grade Profound Crystal, which was equivalent to paying thousands of times the price, which was why the staff member had immediately changed his tune.
"By the way, I have another question for you."
Ye Yun pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know how many Profound Crystals it would cost to buy an immortal's遗物?"
His intention was to find out how precious the immortal's遗物 Xing Wu had left him was.
As a result, when the staff member heard this, his face instantly turned as pale as paper. He repeatedly looked around, and only after confirming that no one was nearby did he lower his voice and say.
"Shush, shush, shush! Esteemed guest, are you trying to court death by speaking so loudly?!"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"
The staff member, however, was surprised.
"What, you don't know? Immortal's遗物 are highly regulated in the Heavenly Domain."
"Anyone who wants to sell an immortal's遗物 is only allowed to sell it to the Divine Hall. To obtain one, you can only join the Divine Hall and exchange it for contribution points."
"Apart from that, any purchase or transaction of immortal's遗物, if discovered, will be severely punished…"
Now it was Ye Yun's turn to be surprised.
"There's such a thing? Wouldn't the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall monopolize the advancement of most cultivators? That's a bit shameless."
The staff member sighed and said, "That's true, but who can we blame? They are the overlords, and in the Heavenly Domain, strength is everything."
With this explanation, Ye Yun began to understand why Xing Wu described the Heavenly Domain as a cage. It was essentially a feudal dynasty ruled by the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall…
He also began to understand how precious the immortal's遗物 she had snatched for him truly was.
Afterward, he gave the staff member a faint smile. "Heh, I was just joking, don't think too much about it."
The staff member also smiled. "We understand, esteemed guest, rest assured. Our Red Dust Tower is a legitimate immortal couple's inn, always prioritizing customer interests."
Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded and was about to leave.
However, before he could exit, he saw a man in black, wearing a Divine Hall uniform, walking in.
As soon as the man in black entered, he approached the counter staff, slapped a badge on it, and said in a deep voice.
"Divine Hall patrol. Have there been any suspicious individuals in the inn these past two days? Or anyone without immortal registry certification?"
As soon as he heard this, Ye Yun's gaze narrowed. This was a bit problematic.
He was about to leave quickly, even prepared to force his way out of the city.
At this moment, the staff member, with an obsequious smile, came before the man in black without even looking at Ye Yun and said respectfully.
"My lord, what are you saying? This is a legitimate immortal couple's inn, and we always act according to the Divine Hall's directives."
"We only receive certified immortals. How could there be any suspicious individuals?"
Hearing this, the man in black nodded.
"Yes, in any case, if you find any suspicious individuals, report to us promptly."
"Understood, I will obey your orders, my lord!"
After speaking, the staff member enthusiastically invited.
"My lord, would you like to sit inside for a while and have some excellent chicken? Our Red Dust Tower is a legitimate immortal couple's inn, and the chicken we serve is top-notch."
"No need, I have a wife."
With that, the man in black left.
Watching this scene, Ye Yun's expression was indeed quite playful. He smiled and then quietly departed.
As for the staff member, after seeing off the Divine Hall personnel, he returned to the counter with a sigh, only to find something glittering at his feet.
It was a top-grade Profound Crystal that had appeared out of nowhere, a fortune that could rival his salary for countless years.
He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with realization. He hurriedly bowed towards the door.
"Thank you, senior, for your benevolence!"
After all, any money collected from guests had to be handed over to the boss, but this was clearly his own fortune.
On the other side, after buying a map in the city, Ye Yun left the city silently.
Once in a secluded area outside the city, he directly summoned Little Xue, intending to have her fly him to Beifeng Heavenly City.
Upon appearing, Little Xue looked around curiously.
"Master, is this the Heavenly Domain?"
Ye Yun nodded and smiled. "Yes, how does it feel?"
"Hmm… for some reason, it feels familiar."
This time, Ye Yun was surprised.
"What do you mean?"
Little Xue mused, "It's as if I've been here before."
"You've been to the Heavenly Domain? That must be a misconception."
"I can't say for sure, maybe it's just a misconception."
Little Xue shook her head, then looked at Ye Yun.
"By the way, Master, why did you call me out?"
Ye Yun smiled faintly. "I want to ride on you to a certain place. I have some things to attend to and can't fly myself."
Upon hearing this, Little Xue's eyes lit up.
"Master, are you finally going to ride me again!"
Ye Yun's mouth twitched.
"Little Xue…"
"Hmm?"
"When you speak, you should be more ladylike from now on."
"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with me saying 'ride'?"
"Ah, this… alright, no problem, no problem…"
Ye Yun shook his head, feeling a little helpless.
Little Xue, however, looked puzzled but still transformed into her snow vermilion bird form.
As she reformed, Ye Yun could clearly feel that her aura of cold was stronger, and her wings were even more crystal clear and dazzling!
Ye Yun mounted her, and as Little Xue flapped her wings, the man and beast soared into the sky.
Not long after, above the sea of clouds.
Ye Yun sat cross-legged on the snow vermilion bird's back and took out the immortal's遗物 Xing Wu had prepared for him.
"I wonder what immortal divine abilities I can comprehend…"
Ye Yun was somewhat curious. Just as he was about to absorb it, he suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead.
"Speaking of which, if I were to bestow this immortal's遗物 upon my disciples, what would I get in return? A stronger immortal's遗物, or…"
He became curious for a moment and didn't think too much about it. Seeing that the surroundings were quite safe, he decided to summon them directly.
"It's time for them to experience the Heavenly Domain…"
However, Ye Yun was unaware that the disciples he was about to forcefully summon were currently all in the master-disciple space, soaking in an artificial hot spring by the stream.
Lin Xueyan, Bai Xiaoxiao, Chen Lingyi, Chen Lingxin, and even Long Yi, were all naked and enjoying the comfortable hot spring with great pleasure…
