Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The fox demon girls at the counter looked at them, first inspecting them carefully, with an initial shock on their faces that gradually turned to normalcy before one tentatively asked, "Are you humans?"

Wu Bingji paused, then replied, "Isn\'t that obvious?"

"Phew," the fox demon girl let out a breath, "You gave me a scare, I thought some big shots had come. For you all to be nobles at such a young age is quite impressive. What kind of rooms would you like? We have standard rooms, guest rooms, deluxe guest rooms, king-class rooms, and the most prestigious Demon Emperor suite."

Wu Bingji subconsciously looked towards Tang San; the Ancestral Court was indeed different— even the variety of hotel rooms was numerous.

Tang San asked, "How much do the different rooms cost?"

The fox demon girl answered, "A standard room is one Elemental Coin per day, a guest room is two Elemental Coins, a deluxe room is five Elemental Coins, and a deluxe guest room is ten Elemental Coins. King-class rooms require demon kings with king-level cultivation to qualify for a stay while the Demon Emperor suite requires a Great Demon King or higher level to reside. The price is the same as the deluxe guest room."

Unable to help himself, Wu Bingji blurted out, "Ordinarily hotels charge in Spirit Rhinoceros Coins; why does even the most common room here require Elemental Coins? That\'s way too expensive."

It was known to them that after risking their lives in beast fights, even their initial earnings weren\'t much in terms of Elemental Coins. And here, staying at a hotel would cost an Elemental Coin per night per room, an exorbitant price indeed.

The expression on the fox demon girl\'s face shifted subtly, her smile tinged with a hint of pridefulness, "The basic unit of currency for expenses in the Ancestral Court is the Elemental Coin. We don\'t use the unit of Spirit Rhinoceros Coin here."

"Uh..." Wu Bingji suddenly felt belittled and quickly said, "Then give us five standard rooms."

"Sure, please wait a moment while I check," the fox demon girl quickly looked it up, then said, "I\'m sorry! We only have three standard rooms left, what do you think..."

Wu Bingji immediately turned to Tang San, "Shall we look for another place?"

Tang San replied, "Let\'s stay here, just open two more guest rooms, Brother Master and Sister Chengzi, one for each of you."

"Alright," Wu Bingji grimaced at the cost, booking two guest rooms and three standard rooms.

However, once the rooms were booked, Wu Bingji insisted on giving up the guest room and wanted Tang San to stay there instead. In his heart, Tang San, despite his young age, had become a blend of both teacher and friend. Every one of them was well aware that without Tang San, they would not have made it this far.

Seeing no way to refuse, Tang San could only agree. The hotel they were staying at was called the White Tiger Hotel.

Cost aside, the hotel was indeed the most lavish they had ever seen; even the standard rooms were sixty square meters, a small suite with a lounge outside and a bedroom within. The bathroom was large and very comfortable. There was also a special training room. This room had an even denser aura of the spirituality of heaven and earth streaming in from the cracks in the walls. It seemed that the hotel as a whole had something like a Spirit Gathering Array that directed the external spirituality of heaven and earth indoors, and what was more valuable, it was filtered.

Having seen this training room, even Wu Bingji, who had been cringing at the expense, stopped complaining. In terms of aura alone, this place was already comparable to the Golden Valley, although there was still a significant difference in Life Force.

The guest rooms were larger, at ninety square meters, and the spirituality of heaven and earth inside the training room was even denser and purer. It clearly demonstrated the principle that you get what you pay for, and fresh fruits were even supplied in the rooms.

Judging simply by the density of the spirituality of heaven and earth in the training room, the guest rooms had a higher cost-performance ratio than the standard rooms. Although more expensive, cultivating in such a place would undoubtedly yield results much faster.

The five of them could all cultivate in the two guest rooms. Wu Bingji immediately calculated that they only needed two rooms, as they could take turns cultivating and resting. However, Tang San dismissed this idea, as each person had their privacy, and cultivation could easily disturb one another—it was better to stay separately. Moreover, their most important reason for coming to the Ancestral Court wasn\'t for cultivation. There were many more tasks to attend to.

The five of them settled down, and Tang San returned to his VIP room. Standing at the window, he could just make out the distant grand White Tiger Great Demon Emperor Palace. This must have been prearranged.

Tang San took out an intricately made metal ring from his storage pouch. This ring was oval-shaped and had a small, intricate metal sphere connected to its center, which clearly bore very complicated patterns.

Injecting his bloodline power into it, Tang San placed it on his ear, held his breath, concentrated, and guided it with his Spiritual Power.

Soon, he heard a voice in his ear.

"Have you all settled down?" a familiar voice asked.

Tang San channeled his thoughts into the communication device via his divine consciousness, "We\'ve settled in at the White Tiger Hotel. Can you feel the position of my communicator?"

"Yes, I can. Wait for me. I\'ll come over."

"This hotel is pretty special; it offers exceptional treatment for those above the Demon King level. I suggest you get a Demon King suite; the training room inside is likely to be better."

"Hmm, okay."

"It\'s a bit pricey," Tang San reminded.

"Heh, am I afraid of high prices now? I have plenty of money," the other party chuckled.

The person on the other end was definitely Zhang Haoxuan. The communicator on Tang San\'s ear was inspired by the one given to him by the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Demon King. That communicator was essentially a voice transmission magic array, and after studying it, Tang San advanced the design and made a more intricate one himself. Not only could it transmit sound much further by injecting Spiritual Power, but it also had a positioning function, making it much more useful.

However, crafting such a device was quite complicated and required precise workmanship, so he only made a pair, which he used to stay in touch with Zhang Haoxuan.

Through selling Spirit Gathering Formation Disks, Zhang Haoxuan was indeed quite wealthy. Tang San didn\'t even know how much money his mentor now had, but judging by his tone that seemed utterly indifferent to expenses, it was certainly a considerable amount.

It didn\'t take long for the communicator to ring again, "I\'ve checked into the Demon King suite. It\'s amazing! Really, it\'s just incredible. Oh... I\'m so impressed. You should come over; I\'m in room 666 on the sixth floor."

When Tang San went to the sixth floor, however, he was stopped. Two guards at the stairwell blocked his path.

He soon learned that to enter the sixth floor, one needed either a room card or Demon King level cultivation.

Having no other option, Tang San used his communicator once again to contact his teacher.

Zhang Haoxuan personally came to the stairwell to fetch him, and only then could he enter room 666.

Upon entering the room, even Tang San felt like exclaiming in awe.

What caught his eye was a living room of almost fifty square meters, decorated with extreme opulence. Not only that, on one side of the living room, floor-to-ceiling windows revealed a balcony of the same size—fifty square meters—half of which was occupied by a massive pool or rather a swimming pool. The rest of the balcony comprised a sofa, a lounge area, and surrounding vegetation.

This was truly... incredible.

Beyond the spacious living room, the training room was twenty square meters in size, filled with the thick, almost viscous spirituality of heaven and earth. Even more remarkable was that the aura emitted by the training room nourished the divine consciousness. Is ten Elemental Coins expensive?

It certainly is not.
