Chapter 287 Asking for information from me is a fee
Li Qingqing pursed her lips lightly and said nothing.
She felt that the black coffins surrounding this person and the red clothes on him made the inn seem even more eerie.
She doesn't want to live!
The head of Yihai Pavilion didn't really want to stay here, but that didn't stop him from asking, "What do you mean by a stopover? And how much does it cost?"
The red-robed man didn't care about their caution and said calmly, "If you want to stay overnight, you can only come in to hide when there's a Soul Devouring Storm outside. You'll need to pay five Spiritual Qi points a day. If you want to stay overnight, you can stay in the Soul Nurturing Coffin House, which costs 100 Spiritual Qi points a day."
At this point, he pointed to a red pillar behind him and said, "You can top up your spiritual energy here. Just enter your cultivation level and you'll be fine."
Li Qingqing was a little surprised. This spiritual energy value was actually exchanged for one's own cultivation?
"Can't this be paid with spirit stones or spirit treasures?" the master of Guiyin Island asked at the right time.
Who is willing to consume their cultivation just to exchange for some spiritual energy?
The red-robed man laughed when he heard this, "Yes, of course not."
As he spoke, he pointed to a black wall at the entrance of the inn and said, "Throw your spirit stones and spirit treasures here. This spirit-devouring wall will automatically display the amount of spiritual energy you have exchanged."
"Excuse me, is this the only coffin in this inn?" asked the owner of Jueying Tower.
The red-robed man glared at him. "Why, you're so picky? When the next group returns, you won't even be able to find a place to stay if you want one!"
Li Qingqing was stunned when she heard this. "Someone else is coming back? Isn't this the way to the Holy Sea of Hualing? Who would go there and come back?"
The red-robed man heard Li Qingqing's voice and looked at her for a moment longer. "Little girl, asking me for information will cost you a fee. However, since you're new here, I can tell you a few things. Not everyone who arrives at the Boundary Sea can successfully cross it. Almost every day, some leave, and some return."
At this point, he paused and suddenly laughed, "Those who didn't come back don't necessarily mean they successfully passed through the Boundary Sea. They might have died."
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Qingqing's eyes, but she quickly asked, "Can I ask you how many people are near this boundary sea?"
"I can't tell you that. I'll just tell you one thing: the Soul Devouring Storm is far more terrifying than you can imagine. Along the entire coast of the Realm Sea, only the Realm Inn is safe. Once affected by the Soul Devouring Storm, the loss of your cultivation will be significant. Whether to stay overnight or stay the night, you'll know the choice once you see it."
After saying that, the man in red robe turned around and went back behind the counter of the inn.
The shape of this counter is also a coffin, a red coffin that looks even more eerie.
The only difference is that there is a black stone table next to it, on which is placed something like a registration book.
"Would you like to stay here?" asked the island master of Guiyin Island.
"Let's see first." The leader of Yihai Pavilion thought that no matter what kind of soul-devouring storm it was, he had to see it once before deciding what to do.
Li Qingqing also nodded, "Let's see first. Pavilion Master, if it really doesn't work, we can set up a sea of consciousness space bubble outside the inn to see if it can withstand the so-called soul-devouring storm."
After all, when they encountered the millennium tide before, she and the head of Yihai Pavilion relied on the Yihai space bubble to avoid the storm attack outside.
The head of Yihai Pavilion nodded and said, "We can try this."
"I want to walk around and take a look." The owner of Jueying Tower wanted to get to know the surrounding environment first.
"Then let's split up and walk around, and then gather at the door of this inn." The head of Yihai Pavilion felt that he had to first understand the situation on the Jieyu Sea side.
Li Qingqing nodded and had no objection.
Soon the four of them separated and went in four different directions.
Li Qingqing chose the south because she wanted to see the place where she had heard the sound of waves before.
At first, she thought that although she could vaguely hear the sound of waves, since the Realm Inn could be opened there, it must be quite far away from the Realm Sea.
But in fact, she didn't walk far before she saw a beach. There was a white isolation line not far from the beach. As soon as she jumped over the white line, she saw a sea of different colors, black and white.
If she ignored the white area, Li Qingqing would have thought she had arrived at Beize Beach.
Because the sky here is also dark.
It’s just that because of the interweaving of white, there are flashes of white light from time to time, which makes this place seem a little more mysterious.
After staring into the distance for a while, Li Qingqing looked around again.
It seemed that no one from the Jieyu Inn had crossed the white line on the beach. When someone saw her coming, he shook his head slightly, and no one knew what it meant.
After walking along the beach, she walked back again.
Moreover, she deliberately walked towards the crowded places.
She wanted to see if she could hear anything.
But what surprised her was that although the people here had numb eyes, were not very curious, and had almost no inner activities.
She even began to doubt whether her ability to read minds had malfunctioned.
After thinking about it for a while, she ran back to the beach, filled a basin with sea water, and prepared to take it back to analyze it.
But as soon as the seawater was poured into the basin, when she picked it up, the seawater turned into gas and disappeared directly?
Li Qingqing was startled and tried again.
But the situation was the same the second time.
There is no way to take the seawater away from this sea.
After thinking for a while, she squatted down again and stretched out a finger to test the sea water.
This time, she felt like she was touching the sea water.
The sea water was wet and icy cold, but she couldn't feel the presence of the water spirit?
This...what is going on?
Without the existence of the water spirit, does that mean that this realm sea is not actually a real sea?
After being in a daze for a while, she reached out and scooped up a handful of sand, feeling it carefully.
This is indeed sand, very fine sand!
After pondering for a moment, she simply filled a basin with sand and put it into the space.
This time, she took the sand away.
After that, she didn't wander around anymore and went straight back to the Jieyu Inn.
As soon as she came back, the sky suddenly darkened.
As soon as she looked up, she saw the last ray of light in the sky disappear, and the people who were just outside the inn suddenly ran towards the Jieyu Inn.
Li Qingqing was standing at the door and was pushed directly into the inn.
But soon, another force bounced her out of the Boundary Inn.
Just as she went in and out, she felt a big change in the world. Strong winds blew up all around, and sand filled the sky.
At this moment, a slight sigh came to her ears.
"If you don't stay overnight, you won't be able to enter the Realm Inn when the Soul Devouring Storm comes."
