"Guest, are you asking to open the ritual?"
Upon hearing the words "open the ritual," Shopkeeper, dressed in a black cloth shirt with a straight collar, eyed Chen Ji up and down from behind the counter. Xiao Liu's eyes darted around, and even Xiao Wu, who was lying on the roof beam, poked half his head out.
Moments later, the Shopkeeper said slowly and methodically, "Guest, it has been a while since someone last performed a ritual at the Dragon Gate Inn. Do you know the rules of the ritual?"
Chen Ji, while dusting off his clothes, smiled and responded, "A worker here told me that once the ritual starts, the fragrance spreads for ten miles, and only significant news allows for it. What other rules are there?"
