"Since the lodging prices are so high, why don't you go out and bring in people? If we hadn't come in here, wouldn't others have taken your business?" Ning Cheng asked, puzzled.
The attendant smiled, "Friend, you've just arrived here, naturally you wouldn't know the situation. There are twelve inns here that represent twelve different powers. Every day, two to three of them go out to welcome cultivators crossing the Heavenly Road and arriving on the Tian Jian Stone. Today it's Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, Fate Extinguishing Starry Sky Fleet, and Rootless Black City Pill Association's turn.
However, there's a rule; if the arriving cultivators don't agree to stay with these three, and enter this area on their own, then any inn can take their business. Rest assured, once you come to our Tiancheng Merchant's inn, they definitely won't come looking for you. That's the rule."
