Chapter 1464: Somebody Came Again

Chapter 1463 – Somebody Came Again

After that, Lin Yi continued experimenting, with the same results. Once he changed the temperature of the fire, it went out by itself with precision. Lin Yi even knew the instant it was going to extinguish was at this point.

“Seems like... I’ll have to stop!” Lin Yi shook his head. “Is it because of me, or because of my qi?”

But Lin Yi didn’t give up- he tried the other elements, since the fire element wasn’t the only one, after all. With some experimentation, he was sure he’d find one that suited him.

And so, the days after that, he started experimenting with the water element refinement fire. With the experience of failure he had with the fire element, the water element was a much easier process- with just one day, he created the water element fire in his palm!

Lin Yi had the jade space supporting him, and wouldn’t lose qi permanently anyway- and as a result, the amount of people practitioning the way Lin Yi was doing was extremely, extremely rare! Most people would just give up after failing to do one element since even the qi required for just experimentation was staggering. Even a Sky class master would wait until he had recovered before trying the refinement again, unlike Lin Yi, who just tried out other things if certain methods failed.

Lin Yi had a clear advantage here, but the result was still disappointing for him. The water fire was created, but changing the temperature resulted in failure once more.

“...” Lin Yi sighed. Fortunately, he didn’t waste too much effort there, so it wasn’t that bad. There were still the metal, wood, and earth that he could try.

With the fire element on his left hand and the water element on his right, Lin Yi swapped them around a little for fun before starting to practice the metal element of refinement.

But, just as he was about to create the fire successfully, the sounds of people talking came from outside the inn! Lin Yi froze, stopped his practitioning, and moved to the window to take a look.

What he didn’t expect was for there to be another car outside in the parking lot, a BMW x6suv. There were only two cars earlier, Lin Yi’s jeep and the owner’s land rover. The BMW was new!

This town was an isolated one in the first place, and no one came here for tourism- other than Lin Yi, the single customer at the inn, there were no other people!

Lin Yi was curious as well at first, wondering why the inn was built so large and decorated so well- though the name of the inn was a little ancient, called Ice Mountain Inn. There was even an ice flower logo as if it were a company or something.

It was odd for Lin Yi- people wouldn’t come to this town, so what was with this huge inn? Wouldn’t this inn’s owner go bankrupt or something? Of course, he couldn’t ask about business decisions just out of the blue like that, having just arrived here.

And today, with more people coming, Lin Yi felt really confused. What surprised him was the fact that the license plate of the BMW was a Songshan one- in other words, these people came from pretty much the same place as he did!

After the BMW parked, two young men came down from the car. The driver and the passenger seemed to be dressed similarly, and from the sounds of their voices, the driver was speaking respectfully to the passenger!

The two were likely master and follower!

“Young Master Kun, this is the hotel that the invitation letter sent us to- the Ice Mountain Inn!” The driver pointed at the logo as he spoke.

“Not bad- it seems like we’re early; there’s not a lot of people here yet.” Master Kun said as he looked at Lin Yi’s keep and the owner’s landrover. “Let’s study the environment a bit first- there are advantages in being early after all. Could also go talk to some of the people from the other noble houses and sects, and see if any alliances could be made.”

Master Kun naturally didn’t pay much attention to the two other cars, and after the driver finished parking, the two just entered the hall to register.

“Hello, we’re from Donghai’s hidden House Zhao- this is our invitation letter. When does the Ice Palace test begin?” The driver walked to the counter and took out some identification- it was the letter with the ice flower logo Zhao Guanyin had.

The hotel may be big, but there weren’t any waiters there- the boss was the only one behind the counter. He kept a straight face. “Anyone who would come here all knows about the test, why else would anyone come? Take out your identification and take the room key!”

“Ah- yes!” Master Kun nodded awkwardly- he didn’t think that this guy would be so disrespectful, but he couldn’t do much about it. This was Ice Palace territory, and this owner should be one of them- even a normal guy from the Ice Palace wasn’t someone hidden houses could piss off easily.

The hidden houses and the ancient sects weren’t on the same level in the first place- this was the same as the difference between the common houses and hidden houses.

“Zhao Qikun, Zhao Qijiu- are you two sharing one room or taking two?” The owner said after writing down their names.

These two people were, naturally, the hidden house Zhao’s Zhao Qikun and the outer disciple Zhao Qijiu! Zhao Qijiu may have the name of Zhao, but this was given to him after he came- the “Qi” in the middle of his name identified him as the same level as Zhao Qibing or Zhao Qikun. The number nine behind him, “jiu,” was simply a number- there were other outer disciples called Zhao Qishi- Zhao Qiten, and Zhao Qishiyi- Zhao Qieleven...

Some families did that kind of thing, putting emphasis on the name- though some other houses didn’t care much.

House Yu and the hidden House Yu, for example, just came up with the names normally instead of thinking all about rank and stuff. Song Lingshan’s House Song and Chen Yutian’s House Chen all had normal names as well.
