Double Cultivation
the golden altar sect
"Matriak ... this hotel .. must have been expensive ..." The elders of the sect were stunned by this luxurious place that was more magnificent than any hotel they had ever seen before.
"Well, it cost them several hundred Spirit Stones ..." Liu Lanzhi revealed the amount to them, causing their eyes to widen in shock, as they did not expect such a large amount.
"A few hundred Spirit Stones ?! Just to stay here for a few weeks ?! That much money can buy some Spirit-level Treasures!"
"I-It's a robbery in daylight his name!"
The sect elders found it hard to believe that Liu Lanzhi would be so generous in his expenditure, especially when the Sect was not in a position to waste resources.
Of course, the only reason Liu Lanzhi dared to spend that much money was because of the wealth Su Yang (fake) had given him, or they would camp in tents for an entire month.
"i know this is a lot of money, but at least we should have a place to stay for the rest of the month – unless you want to sleep on the streets. What's more, it's relatively cheap if you compare it to other hotels in the city. Once you see that price, you'll be grateful that I only spent this much … "
"Alright if Matriak says so .." The elders of the sect quickly accepted his explanation, as none of them wanted to sleep on the streets for an entire month.
"By the way, let's go inside and settle down before I give you all a briefing" Liu Lanzhi said as he opened the door to the hotel.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience to the honored guests, but the hotel is already full." The receptionist tells them before they can reach the front desk/reception.
"We are from the Profound Flower Sect, and we already have a reservation." Liu Lanzhi showed her a receipt.
The receptionist took the receipt to look at it carefully.
As soon as he confirmed his authenticity, the receptionist nodded and said, "Thank you for choosing to stay at our snow crystal hotel. Your room is on the fourth floor. Here's your room key …"
As the receptionist picked up a stack of keys from under the table and prepared to hand them over to Liu Lanzhi, the door opened again, and another group of individuals walked in.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the honored guest, but all our rooms are fully occupied." The receptionist said to the newcomers.
However, instead of going straight away, these newcomers even approached the table.
As soon as they reached the table, the middle-aged man leading this group pointed to the key in the receptionist's grasp and spoke, "I'll pay you double the amount people pay here for those rooms."
"…" The place immediately became awkward and silent.
"M-I'm sorry, but I don't think it—" before the receptionist finished speaking, the middle-aged man picked up a leather bag from his robe and calmly threw it at the table.
"There were two thousand spirit stones in that bag. I'll buy his room from you" he said.
However, the middle-aged man did not stare at the receptionist as he said those words.but rather, he offered the spirit stone to the blossom sect for their room.
Liu Lanzhi looked at this unknown middle-aged man with a slight frown.
"No, thank you" Liu Lanzhi said to her in a relatively calm voice.
And as soon as Liu Lanzhi rejected their offer, the disciples behind the middle-aged man began to speak out loudly.
"They must be from a remote place to not know us."
These disciples spoke with disregard, clearly looking down on them.
After hearing their Sect being harassed, the Junior Disciples of the Profound Blossom Sect also began to speak loudly, "Indeed, who is this idiot? To show such disrespect to us and senior brother Su, they must be looking for death …"
"That's right! Who do they think they are?"
Since these Junior Disciples were convinced of their safety because of Su Yang's acquaintance with the Divine Sword Master, they did not hold back their words.
And as expected, the other party looked at this Junior Disciple with wide eyes full of surprise. They would never have imagined that a group of little brats would dare to speak back to them, let alone with such ridicule.
"Why how dare someone from a nameless place to disrespect our Golden Altar Sect!"
"You are the only ones who seek death!"
The words of the disciples of the Golden Altar Sect revealed his dislike of them.
"The Golden Altar Sect …?" Liu Lanzhi's wrinkle became deeper after hearing that familiar name.
After taking a moment to ponder, he finally recalled the Golden Altar Sect. It was a place that despite not being recognized as an Elite Sect, they were powerful enough to rival even places like the Million Snake Sect.
Of course, since they usually remained low-key, people from other regions were usually unfamiliar with them.
"Relax, disciples ..." The middle-aged man finally decided to enter.
"i apologize for the rudeness of my students," he told Liu Lanzhi with a calm smile.
"I also apologize for my students .." Liu Lanzhi said.
Although he did not say anything, Liu Lanzhi noticed the feeling of ridicule behind the middle-aged man's calm face.
"By the way, we will not sell our room," Liu Lanzhi said as he took the key from the receptionist's hand.
"… Is that so .. it's unfortunate ..." The middle-aged man shook his head and continued walking out the door.
However, there was a strange atmosphere around the middle-aged man, and it was not only Liu Lanzhi who felt it. In fact, Junior Disciple felt that there was something wrong about the middle-aged man.
As soon as the Golden Altar Sect left the scene, Junior Disciple spoke, "i have a dangerous feeling from that person …"
"me too…"
"Forget them. Come quickly to the fourth floor, where I will share your room," Liu Lanzhi said, before bringing the disciples upstairs.
