Not only did the people of the Holy Land not treat Qi Tian and his group as deities, but even the cultivators queuing behind them had no such realization either. Before Qi Tian could ask further questions, they impatiently urged him to either book the rooms right away or step aside and not delay their time.

Qi Tian had initially thought about keeping a low profile as a newcomer, but the persistent grumbling from those behind him irritated him, and he fiercely decided to book all the remaining deluxe and middle-grade rooms for himself, leaving none available.

According to the rules of the Holy Land, holding an exchange identity card entitled one to book a room at a designated inn—one identity card for one room. At Qi Tian’s side, there were three from the National Master Manor and four from Wanjie Commerce—a total of seven—enough to book all the remaining deluxe and middle-grade rooms.

The cultivator responsible for registration did not ask any questions; after all, it didn’t matter to whom the rooms were booked as the inn would not make an extra penny. He just took all of Qi Tian’s group’s identity cards, made the registrations, and had Qi Tian pay the deposit.

The price per day for a deluxe room at this inn was ten top-grade spirit stones, and for a middle-grade room, it was one top-grade spirit stone. The deposit required was calculated on a ten-day basis. This meant that Qi Tian had to shell out one hundred and sixty top-grade spirit stones at once. Such a price could be daunting for many Nascent Soul Masters, let alone the cultivators at the peak of the Gold Core Realm attending the competition in the Holy Land, for whom the price was even more difficult to afford.

Typically, they would choose to book just one room. Cases like Qi Tian’s, where someone booked a deluxe room plus several middle-grade ones all at once, were exceedingly rare.

Qi Tian, however, did not lack top-grade spirit stones and readily paid the deposit before receiving the keys to the rooms. He then said to those accompanying him, “Let’s go, we shall rest first.”

Yi Xuwen felt a sting, wanting to advise Qi Tian, but eventually held back. Knowing he did not wield much influence over Qi Tian, the Great Elder, he decided it was better not to embarrass himself.

Lu Songsheng, however, did speak up, “Qi Tian, you really don’t need to book so many rooms at once. In the Holy Land’s inn, there are at least three deluxe rooms, each able to accommodate one person, and two middle-grade rooms, which can at least house two people each. Booking so many rooms all at once seems a bit wasteful.”

Qi Tian chuckled and replied, “We’re not competing for bread but for pride. Vice President Lu, let’s not talk too much, come, let’s start assigning rooms, one for each person, feel free to choose.”

Lu Songsheng still wanted to persuade Qi Tian, arguing that although the deluxe rooms were nice, it really wasn’t necessary to spend precious top-grade spirit stones on them when there were many other places in the Holy Land where the spirit stones could be better used—far more important than staying in a fancy room.

Just then, a female cultivator approached them, her face veiled with a layer that blocked Divine Sense, making it impossible to see her features clearly, but her elegant posture and tall figure suggested she was a beauty. She directly addressed Qi Tian, “Sir, when I was queuing earlier, I was not far behind you, and I saw you booked so many rooms. You only have a few people; you won’t be able to use them all. I would be most grateful if you could transfer some to us.”

Qi Tian replied, “I’m sorry, Sir, but you are mistaken. Although I booked many rooms, the number is just right; we have one room per person, perfectly fitting our needs.”

The female cultivator inwardly cursed, having not seen anyone take a middle-grade or even a deluxe room for themselves alone—veritably squandering resources. Although that was her thought, she continued to plead, “Sir, you see, we are all women; you surely can’t let us sleep on the streets, right? Please lend a helping hand and spare a few rooms for us. Rest assured, Sir, we wouldn’t take advantage of you for nothing. We can offer a bit more spirit stones.”

Hearing this, Lu Songsheng quickly sent a message to Qi Tian, “Qi Tian, this is a good opportunity, quickly transfer them. You can earn some spirit stones, at least.”

Qi Tian glanced at Huang Liuyan, who also nodded at him.

Qi Tian said, “All right, how many rooms do you want?”

The female cultivator unceremoniously said, “If possible, after accommodating your own lodging needs, could we take all the remaining rooms? If it’s not too much trouble, it would be best if you could also transfer that deluxe room to us.”

Qi Tian smirked, “Are you joking with me? Letting you have the deluxe room, do I look like I’m short on money?”

The female cultivator replied, “I know you are not short of spirit stones and mean no disrespect. Here’s the deal—if you agree to transfer the deluxe room to us, we are willing to pay double the price for all the rooms. What do you think about this offer?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Tian knew he had stumbled upon a wealthy spender today. Having finally met such a non-penny-pinching character, why hold back? He bluntly said, “This is the last deluxe room; don’t you think your offer is too low? I could shout here and definitely get someone willing to pay more than you.”
