CHAPTER 569: CHAPTER 579: COMING TO THE FORE

"Wow, I didn’t expect the business here to be so booming!"

Chu Feng looked around, only to see a long queue at the rental counter for the Secluded Holy Land.

With such a scene, renting a seclusion chamber would definitely not be an easy task.

"All Sect disciples who wish to rent a Seclusion chamber, listen up. The chambers are divided into three levels. The Advanced Level Secret Rooms have a density of Spiritual Energy more than ten times that of the Outer City. Additionally, each room is equipped with some more common cultivation auxiliary treasures. For instance, the Cold Ice Jade Bed, the Fire Yang Jade Mat, and so on. The rent, well, it’s not expensive, just one thousand silver taels a day."

My God, one thousand silver taels a day is not expensive?

"No rent, no rent!"

Immediately, some Outer Disciples deemed the price too expensive and shouted that they could not afford it. Those who found it expensive were mostly from the lower ranks of their Sects, earning very little income.

It’s very difficult to afford a rent of one thousand silver taels a day.

However, some disciples from lower ranks still remained. Although a rent of one thousand silver taels a day is not cheap, undergoing seclusion here to breakthrough bottlenecks or achieve realm advancements has at least a 30% higher success rate.

Only by becoming stronger can one earn more money.

They clenched their teeth, determined to try even if they had to scrimp and save after their seclusion.

The manager of the Secluded Holy Land was a man over fifty years old, with a moustache, meticulously combed hair, and small mung bean eyes that exuded the shrewdness unique to merchants.

He was wearing the attire of an Inner Sect Disciple.

The elder was indifferent to those Sect disciples who found it too expensive and left. He had presided over this place for many years and saw such people leaving over the price every day.

After leaving, most of them would not be gone long before they would gather enough silver and come back again.

The second time, they would no longer find it expensive.

Because they would find that their fellow Sect brothers and sisters, after undergoing seclusion here, have successfully advanced to a new realm, surpassing and leaving them behind. That’s when they’d realize.

The rent is expensive, but it’s worth it.

Just like Elixirs are incredibly expensive, but once someone has the money, they want to buy it and are willing to spend silver on it.

Because the miraculous effects of Elixirs are well known to everyone.

The elder cleared his throat and continued, "The Special-level Secret Room has a Spiritual Energy density twenty times that of the Outer City. Those of you present who have been inside before should know that the Spiritual Energy is so dense that it has even turned into a mist. Cultivating or breaking through realms in the Special-level Secret Room increases the success rate by at least 50%. This old man is not exaggerating in the slightest."

"The auxiliary treasures inside the Special-level Secret Room are also very numerous, and every single one is a luxury item. Not to mention you Outer Disciples, even the Inner Sect Disciples rarely have the luxury to own them. In addition, the floor area of the Special-level Secret Room is three times larger than that of the Advanced Level Rooms. As for the rent, it’s not considered too expensive, five thousand silver taels a day."

Upon hearing this, the entire place burst into an uproar.

Five thousand silver taels a day, and that’s not expensive?

That could buy a pretty decent Elixir.

"Hehe, you really shouldn’t consider it too expensive. It’s only because you are Sect disciples that you’re eligible to rent. People outside the Sect, Sword Slaves of our Sect, and even your family members, have absolutely no qualification to rent."

"Moreover, don’t think that the Sect is making a huge profit off the five thousand silver taels a day from you. Each luxury item inside, every single treasure that aids in cultivation, is incredibly expensive. Each costs at least ten thousand silver taels. If you were to purchase one yourself, you might have to save up for ten or even dozens of years. Now, for only five thousand taels, you can enjoy many treasures; it’s undoubtedly worth it."

"Furthermore, the reason why the Spiritual Energy can be so dense inside is that a Spirit Gathering Array has been set up, using priceless Spirit Stones."

Having said this, the dissenting voices at the scene immediately lowered.

A single Low-grade spirit stone costs ten thousand silver taels, and it is something that is priceless and hard to find. Ordinary people, even with the money, cannot buy it.

The Spirit Gathering Array’s consumption of spirit stones must be considerable.

"Manager Wu, just the Special-level Secret Room is already so expensive. How much more terrifying would the rent for a Supreme Secret Room be?"

Someone actually recognized this elder, they called him Manager Wu.

Chu Feng was also full of anticipation for the last type, the Supreme Secret Room.

The spiritual energy within the Special-level Secret Room was already so rich that it could condense into mist. The Supreme Secret Room must be even denser.

"The spiritual energy inside the Supreme Secret Room is thirty times denser than that in the Outer Sect. What does this mean? I can responsibly tell you that the places where the Sect Master and Supreme Elders go into seclusion are no more than this."

"Moreover, the support facilities inside the Supreme Secret Room are more complete. Whether you want to break through to the Sword Saint Realm or the Sword God Realm, choosing the Supreme Secret Room will at least double your chances of success."

Chu Feng couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly; he could no longer pay attention to anything else that was said.

The idea that choosing the Supreme Secret Room could double the success rate of reaching the Sword Saint or Sword God Realm was just too tempting for him.

"Alright, that concludes the introduction! There are only ten Supreme Secret Rooms available, with four currently unoccupied. Those in need can come directly to me to register—no need to queue. The minimum rental period is one day. The rent is ten thousand silver taels per day."

Chu Feng still had more than two hundred thousand silver taels on him, enough to rent the Supreme Secret Room for more than twenty days.

For others, renting a Supreme Secret Room was definitely a luxury.

But Chu Feng had the financial strength to do it.

Even, for him now, a mere two hundred thousand silver taels was nothing.

The privilege of renting the Supreme Secret Room without queuing was quite good. It could save Chu Feng a lot of time.

He immediately left the line and walked straight to the registration counter.

"Can I... only rent the Supreme Secret Room for half a day?" In front of the registration counter was a young figure, which looked quite familiar. Listening to that voice, it was also well-known.

"Minimum rental is one day!" Manager Wu answered coldly.

The young figure, somewhat unwilling to give in, yet unable to produce ten thousand silver taels, stood there unmoving, thinking of ways to gather the money.

But borrowing money was too difficult.

And with his extreme pride and strong sense of dignity, he was not willing to easily ask others for help.

"Just by looking you can tell he’s trash from Dan State Branch, couldn’t even afford one day’s rent, yet still pretends to be wealthy here. Get out of the way, don’t delay me from renting a secret room," a domineering voice rang out. The person was none other than one of the Eight Housekeepers of Medicine Mountain No. 106, Yang Tianbao.

A trusted confidant of Mao Wu Mountain Master.

Ever since Tang Ying was brought down by Chu Feng, Yang Tianbao’s status in Medicine Mountain No. 106 had also risen with the tide, gaining even more favor.

Chu Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly walked over.

"Put his rent on my account!"

When Chu Feng heard that the young man, who was short of funds, had actually come from the Dan State Branch, he did not hesitate to pay on behalf of the other party.

The young man, upon hearing that someone was paying the rent for him, trembled slightly, turned his head in surprise, and looked over.

"Chu Feng, junior brother!"

"Sima Zhen, senior brother!"

Chu Feng had never expected that this young figure would actually be Sima Zhen.
