To be honest.

Even Li Ye did not expect that a few random invitations would attract so many people.

He looked at the crowd coming mightily towards Ruoquan Island.

He hesitated for a moment.

And chose to respond with silence.

After all, this place was meant for business, and he couldn't always come out to attract customers. It still depended on the beavers for specifics.

At this time.

The sword cultivators had already set foot on the land of Ruoquan Island.

"Huh."

"The spiritual energy here…"

"Is quite peculiar."

They immediately sensed something was off.

Although the sky was still clear and bright, it felt like a thin black veil was covering it. Logically, the shift between day and night, or the change of seasons, should not affect the cultivators.

Even if they were to walk barefoot in the snow, they would feel at ease.

But at this moment.

They felt somewhat "safe."

Even though the spiritual power structure of this place was extremely unfamiliar, which should have made them vigilant, the sense of "security" made them relax entirely, feeling at ease throughout.

This was quite rare.

Due to the unique nature of their cultivation methods, sword cultivators rarely had opportunities to completely relax, which led to them feeling a bit drowsy once they did.

If it weren't for maintaining a bit of vigilance, they might have already laid down wanting to fall into a deep sleep. After all, meditating directly outdoors wasn't something unusual.

What was even stranger was that this uncontrollable relaxation didn't arise any resistance within them.

"Is this the divine power of the Ruo Wood?"

An elderly Golden Core sword cultivator squinted at the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Ruo Wood is the resting place of the sun after it sets, it's the most basic law of the world where the sun rises and sets.

It is also a habit passed down by our human race from generation to generation.

Even though we are now cultivators, we are still of the human race."

She paused for a moment here.

Then looked meaningfully at a sword cultivator: "But if you wish to abandon human nature and truly cultivate the merciless path of the sword, then you might resist this ancient bloodline habit."

"Perhaps, there will be unexpected gains."

—This sword cultivator had been at the Golden Core stage for three hundred years, and although she hadn't progressed to the Nascent Soul stage, she was adept in various sword cultivation methods.

So her words held quite a weight.

The sword cultivators were somewhat pensive.

However, before they could ponder further, a group of body cultivators came over, glanced at them, and made their way towards the pavilion in the distance, which was quite similar to the Four Seasons Tower.

Voices full of teasing were unabashedly heard:

"Indeed, practicing the sword has made them dull."

"The guest rooms here are limited."

"I don't know what they're still doing standing over there."

Sword cultivators: "..."

it's really speechless.

These body cultivators have indeed become foolish from cultivating, do they think they are faster than sword cultivators?

Then.

With a swoosh, several beams of sword light surpassed the cultivators of the Spirit Refining Sect, entering the unusually exquisite pavilion.

Waiting there, some nervous beavers instantly stood up.

It also tidied up its quite-fitting Taoist robe made of four colors sewn together, with a "Li" character printed on the back.

The voice coming from its mouth was not the previous "chirping," but a clear and bright youthful voice:

"Welcome, esteemed guests."

"Welcome to the Ruoquan Island Beaver Inn, I am Li Shier."

"Here we have Jia, Yi, Bing and Ding four types of small courtyards and the most superior Ruoxian Pavilion for your selection."

As it spoke.

An illusory realm willow nearby emitted a hazy mist that drifted in front of the sword cultivators' foreheads, forming five different illusionary realms, allowing them to immerse their divine sense to experience the structure of five different cave mansions firsthand.

The Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding four households are all considered normal, previously owned by Ruoquan Island Beaver Inn, while the Ruoxian Pavilion...

"There are twelve of us in total, we want twelve Ruoxian Pavilions!"

Since Wei Qingye had invited everyone here, it was only natural to choose the best.

Li Shier's small eyes lit up.

He chuckled and said, "True Man Wei, the owner specifically instructed to give you a ten percent discount, so it's only a thousand Spirit Stones per day per person."

What?

A thousand Spirit Stones per person per day? A ten percent discount?

Doesn't that mean it would normally cost ten thousand Spirit Stones per day for the Ruoxian Pavilion?

Previously, it seems the Ruoxian Pavilion at Ruoquan Island Beaver Inn only cost a thousand Spirit Stones per day, how did it become this expensive.

Although, being Golden Core level sword cultivators, they indeed were quite lacking in Spirit Stones. After all, unlike the Four Seasons Sect which has its lands to cultivate on, even owning numerous places and exploiting the Demon Race every day for Spirit Stones, they remained somewhat impoverished.

Wei Qingye, although not overjoyed, was quite pleased as he cupped his hands towards Li Shier and said: "Please thank Brother Li for me, but I wonder where he is now?"

"The owner has turned into a tree."

"Perhaps you will see him shortly."

Wei Qingye frowned, turned into a tree again, last time it was Jianmu, this time it's Ruo Wood, right? But turning into a tree would indeed allow easy access to sense the Spiritual Qi of the Celestial Being.

While he was pondering, Li Shier had already opened the transmission portal leading to the Ruoxian Pavilion, gesturing for them to proceed:

"May the esteemed guests enjoy themselves."

The sword cultivators were quite curious about what awaited them.

They promptly walked through the portal one by one, hearing the voices of body cultivators behind them.

However.

The scenery before them quickly captured their attention—

It appeared unassuming, yet within it was adorned simply but not plainly, a small courtyard enveloped by a silky night curtain.
