Martial Master

After inquiring for a while, Qin Chen and the others finally understood that it was not that the teleportation array had completely closed, but rather that the inheritance of the Demon Sword was about to begin. The teleportation array in Demon Sword City was temporarily closed, allowing entry but not exit, and this would last for a month.

One month later, the teleportation array would reopen.

This meant that if Qin Chen and the others wanted to leave using the teleportation array, they would have to wait for a month.

Of course, although it was said that the inheritance of the Demon Sword was starting, and thus the teleportation array was closed, whether there were factors related to the Law Enforcement Hall apprehending wanted criminals inside was hard to say.

“Young Master Chen, what should we do now?”

Having thought they could leave upon arrival, they were now told that they had to wait a month, which left them feeling quite speechless.

“Let’s find a place to stay first; after all, a month isn’t too long.”

Even going to other royal forces, even the nearest ones, would take at least three months; it’s better to wait here.

Since the teleportation array would reopen in a month, Qin Chen and the others had already spent three months just traveling; they were not too concerned about this additional month.

Having made up his mind, Qin Chen and the others immediately began searching for an inn.

However, they were left dumbfounded.

Because of the inheritance of the Demon Sword, all the talented disciples from the royal forces surrounding Demon Sword City had gathered there. Not only the royal forces nearby but also some disciples from other royal forces in the Northern Heaven Domain swarmed in.

This led to the inns in the city being overcrowded, and they couldn’t find a single vacant room.

Many inns had even been fully booked years in advance.

What exactly was this inheritance of the Demon Sword? Why did it attract so many people?

Qin Chen and his companions were extremely frustrated; they had checked at least dozens of inns and found no vacancies. It was just too popular.

“Young Master Chen, we are currently in the core area of Demon Sword City, so it’s natural for the inns to be full. We can try looking in the outskirts, or if that doesn't work, we can go to the Alchemy Pavilion branch here and see if we can borrow a few rooms.”

Zhuo Qingfeng was at least a Medicine King; borrowing a few rooms at the Alchemy Pavilion branch shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Going to the outskirts?

Qin Chen shook his head; they had spent half a day getting here and didn’t want to keep searching, plus the inns in the outskirts didn’t have good cultivation rooms.

Previously, when they were looking for inns, they had received a huge surprise. The high-end inns here basically all had high-concentration cultivation rooms.

What was the use?

The concentration of true qi there was much higher than outside, and the effects of cultivating inside were far better than outside.

For example, while others worked hard to cultivate for a month outside to gather a little true essence and improve their cultivation slightly, here they could achieve the same in just a few days.

Qin Chen had inquired in detail before; the high-concentration cultivation rooms here had four levels.

Lower, Middle, Upper, and Special.

Among them, the lower level meant one day of cultivation was equivalent to two days outside; the middle level meant one day was equivalent to four days outside; the upper level one day was equivalent to eight days outside; as for the special level, it was twelve days.

In other words, choosing a special cultivation room here for a month would be equivalent to a year outside.

What an astonishing effect!

It was said that in the Demon Sword Sect, there were even cultivation rooms that accelerated cultivation by twenty times, but those were exclusive to the Demon Sword Sect.

Moreover, apart from outside Demon Sword City, other royal forces might not have such impressive cultivation rooms. Although high-concentration cultivation rooms were standard equipment for major royal forces, they generally only offered three to five times the effect, with large true essence mineral veins buried beneath them.
