After the woman agreed to the terms of their being together, Zian Yi and the two females walked around the city looking for an inn. When Ting Huan heard of Zian Yi's plan, she laughed out loud.

"Inns in the capital are rumored to be extremely expensive. Even with hundreds of gold coins, you may not get even a barn to rent," she explained after seeing the way Zian Yi was looking at her.

She smiled sheepishly.

Zian Yi continued walking as though she had not heard her words. Although he was not accustomed to human nature, he was well aware of their greed. In Hundred Man Town, he had killed countless people. He had robbed all these people of everything he thought to have value in his eyes. Although gold coins were not his main priority, he had taken them with him. He looked down at the small sack that he had carried all the way from Hundred Man town.

It had everything he needed to start over in a new human settlement.

Ting Huan said nothing else after seeing Zian Yi's reaction. The three walked through the city and after asking for directions from other pedestrians, they finally reached an inn. It did not look too expensive but judging from the people entering and leaving, it was an upper-society place. The three entered led by Zian Yi. He went straight to the counter and waited to be worked on.

The three of them were dressed like refugees and they did not smell any better. They attracted the attention of the other people in the inn. The counter was placed in an open dining where all the patrons could gather for their meals. They did not take too kindly to three poverty-ridden peasants ruining the mood.

Soon, a pretty girl ca,e to work on them.

"How may we be of service ?" she asked in a nice voice. She didn't show any bias against them. Zian Yi was impressed by this fact.

"Give us two large rooms ." said Zian Yi.

Even after learning how to talk during the journey from Hundred Man town, his voice still sounded odd.

The attendant did not laugh but the other patrons were very amused. Some of them burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Zian Yi was not bothered by this but Ting Huang was not happy.

He knocked on her hand to remind her to calm down.

"We have two large rooms present but they are very expensive .They come with all amenities and services ." she said.

"I did not ask whether they were expensive .Just tell me the price ." replied Zian Yi.

He was a bit irritated. He had too many things to do and this woman was wasting his time.

"The rooms cost ten gold coins per night ." she replied in a calm voice. She was not disturbed by Zian Yi's outburst. If she was, she did not show any emotions to indicate this.

Zian Yi placed the sack on the counter and opened it slightly. He put his hand inside and brought out one hundred gold coins at once.

All the people who were waiting to laugh were shaken. This was a slap to their faces. This time, even the young girl showed some emotions. She was surprised that people dressed so shabbily could actually bring out so much money. Not copper or silver coins but gold coins. A normal household in the Cloud Empire could survive on a single gold coin for an entire year.

One gold coin was worth one thousand silver coins and one silver coin was worth one thousand copper coins.

The attendant quickly worked on the admission of the three people and led them to their rooms. The young girl, Zian Rou was to stay with Ting Huang and Zian Yi had an entire room to himself.

Inside the room, Zian Yi was not interested in how elegant the entire place looked. To him, it was no different from the shack he had taken as his base in Hundred Man town. He went into the bath and cleaned his bones. He felt uncomfortable when dirt went into his joints. After this, he went back into the room and sat on the bed. He had already removed his disguise. He brought out his axe and began shaking it for the first time in over a month.

[Corpse Qi: 200,000 Units]

[Skills:Life Sense----4/4 /// Corpse Flame----5/5 ...Extrapolate /// Faceless Wonder---2/2]

[Unknown Technique-----2/2 (Life Force Vision, Dark Blade.)]

Even the skeleton did not have any emotions to speak of, it was visibly excited by the figure it saw .200,000 units of corpse qi were more than enough for it to do everything it could think of. This was the highest quantity of corpse qi it had ever had.

Still, the only thing it could do was extrapolate the corpse flame skill to increase the number of stages.This was because for all the other skills, it had reached the highest level and it did not have enough knowledge to extrapolate them to higher stages.

The skeleton considered burning down the capital just like it had done to Hundred Man town. From the small Hundred Man town, it had collected 200,000 units of corpse qi. It would only make sense that from the much larger capital city, it would get much more corpse qi. The skeleton entertained the idea for a short time before giving up on it. It was sure that powerful humans lived in the capital. If it were to do things just like it had done in Hundred Man Town,it would be destroyed. It did not know whether it could die but it did not want to find out.

The skeleton chose to extrapolate the corpse flame skill before it could think of ways to solve its other problems.

It selected extrapolate. Immediately, it was engulfed by a powerful crimson light.

The light went on for less than a minute before it disappeared.

[Corpse Qi: 199,990Units]

[Skills:Life Sense----4/4 /// Corpse Flame----5/6.....Extrapolate/// Faceless Wonder---2/2]

[Unknown Technique-----2/2 (Life Force Vision, Dark Blade.)]

It looked at the battle axe and it had used just ten units of corpse qi to extrapolate the corpse flame skill.

It was pleased with this consumption rate.

It decided to continue extrapolating the corpse flame skill until he reached the limits of his knowledge.
