Qin Yi took the ten million spirit stones from the storage pouch and tossed it to the inn attendant.
He had won it from the square-faced man anyway, so he did not feel any heartache about handing it over.
"Please come in, dear guests. I will take you to your rooms!"
After receiving the spirit stones and witnessing Qin Yi's ruthless methods, the inn attendant's attitude towards Qin Yi and the others had completely changed. When he saw Qin Yi, he almost bowed down to his knees, and his tone was extremely respectful!
Qin Yi thanked him indifferently and followed the attendant to the rooms.
It had to be said that the environment of the inn's rooms was indeed terrible. Apart from a table, a few chairs, and a bed, there was nothing else in the entire room.
To be honest, a room with such conditions would still cost two hundred thousand spirit stones a day. If Qin Yi had to fork out his own money, he would definitely not be willing to pay for it.
As a cultivator, he did not have high requirements for a living environment. However, he would more or less feel a little uncomfortable with something like this that was clearly a loss.
Fortunately, although the environment of the room was very bad, the five people's rooms were connected. This made it convenient for Qin Yi and the others to move around.
After settling in, Qin Yi called the attendant over.
"Attendant, you should be able to tell that we have just arrived at Five Forests City. We are not very familiar with the situation here. Can you explain it to me? "
To be honest, he really did not understand the situation in Five Forests City at all. Just like the situation just now, he did not want to cause trouble, but trouble came knocking on his door.
Most importantly, as the law enforcers guarding Five Forests City, the people in the army seemed to be used to fighting everywhere and completely ignored the situation.
Without a doubt, the situation in Five Forests City had a lot to do with the environment here.
After all, he had followed the directions of the black market to come here. Perhaps he would have to stay here for a long time, so understanding the situation here could help him avoid some trouble.
Most importantly, he wanted to find a connection to the Stroking Willow Sect from the environment of Five Forest City.
Hearing Qin Yi's question, the shop assistant did not hesitate at all and began to speak directly.
"The reason why Five Forest City is called Five Forest City is because it is controlled by five clans."
Qin Yi frowned and said: "These five clans, could it be five clans with the surname Lin?"
The waiter nodded and said, "That's right, that's right! These five families were all surnamed Lin! It is said that in the beginning, these five Lin families were the same family. "
Qin Yi nodded, then asked, "Then why did this family split into five families? And why did it cause such a situation? "
The shop assistant pondered for a moment before replying, "How would we, the lowest rung of society, know what exactly caused them to split up? However, after the split, these five clans were almost as incompatible as fire and water. The struggle between them had never stopped for thousands of years! Later on, they discovered that this kind of internal friction would greatly weaken their strength, so they thought of a way. "
"What way?"
"Recruiting outsiders and letting them represent the factions they belong to to to carry out the struggle!"
Qin Yi frowned and said, "Since it is a struggle between the great clans, then it should naturally be more formal, right? How could this kind of scene of random fighting on the streets, where even those who want to stay in an inn have to go through a life and death struggle? "
"Sir, there is something you do not know! The Five Great Clans didn't just pick people randomly! They can't just randomly see a cat or dog on the streets and pull them into their camp, right? These people naturally have to display their strength to make themselves famous when they fight each other! Only this way can they be valued by the five clans and be invited into their camp! "
"Then what is the benefit of joining these clans that can make this group of cultivators so crazy, even if they bleed and become crippled, they still enjoy it without getting tired?"
"Once you are chosen by these clans, not only will you have a stable life and a high status, you might even have a chance to soar into the sky."
Qin Yi said, "If these people are chosen, it means that they are capable people with an extremely high status in Five Woods City. This is understandable. But why would they soar into the sky? "
The shop assistant scratched the back of his head and said, "It is said that the five great clans will have a competition every year! At that time, people from the major sects will come to watch. If you perform well in the competition, it seems that you will have a chance to be chosen into the major sects as an in-name disciple! As long as you are able to enter a major sect, your life will have a complete turnaround! "
As he spoke, the shop assistant also raised his head and looked at the sky with a look of longing, as if he was immersed in a blissful fantasy.
Qin Yi nodded slightly. He had a rough grasp of the situation here now. However, it was obvious that he was not clear about the specific information.
"Shop assistant, do you know where the black market is?"
The shop assistant was awakened by Qin Yi's words and looked at Qin Yi with a fearful expression, "Why are you asking this?"
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "To buy information from the black market, of course."
The shop assistant lowered his voice and said, "The black market of Five Woods City is in the southeast corner of the city. However, it is a rather strange place. I have never seen anyone come out alive after entering it. I advise you to give up on this idea and have a good rest. Perhaps in the near future, someone will come to challenge us. "
Qin Yi waved his hand and said, "Got it, you are dismissed."
"Yes!"
After agreeing, the shop assistant did not leave for a long time. Seeing that Qin Yi had no intention of tipping him, he could only leave in disappointment.
Qin Yi was not a stingy person, but he was not satisfied with the shop assistant's attitude. No matter how well he behaved, Qin Yi would not let a single coin fall into his pocket.
"It seems that the black market here is also a dangerous place."
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "I wonder if it is equally unfriendly to a member of the black market like me?"
At this time, he suddenly remembered the letter that the black-cloaked man had given him at Qingli City's black market.
He was told to wait until he reached Five Woods City before opening it!
