Chapter 209 Token
The man took the token from Li Ming's hand, looked at it carefully, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Forgive me for being blind and not recognizing you, my distinguished guest!"

While speaking, he handed the token back with a very respectful attitude.

"It works quite well." Li Ming was happy and nodded with a smile.

The man immediately walked to the door and said, "This young master from Guangde Temple is our honored guest from Jiulian City. Why don't you get out of the way!"

It was obvious that he was a team leader. As soon as he said this, the two teams of guards immediately saluted Li Ming in unison, which showed that they were well-trained.

Li Ming smiled and nodded, then walked inside through two teams of guards.

The man finally shouted, "Young Master, you hold our Jiuliancheng token. No matter what you do, you will get discounts and even better treatment. Be sure to hold on to it!"

Li Ming naturally nodded happily in agreement.

Then I strolled in the inner city. If the outer city was large, then the inner city was even!

Looking around, the buildings are lined up one after another. Unlike the outside, they are not unique. Instead, they use the same materials and decoration style. The streets are wider, but the flow of people has decreased sharply. After all, the city entrance fee is not a small amount. One or two taels of silver are enough for an average family's expenses for nearly half a month.

When we got here, most of the people passing by on the road were dressed as warriors, and the rest were either rich or noble and dressed gorgeously. Even the servants and lackeys beside them were dressed more elegantly than ordinary people. Apart from these two types, there were people wearing black clothes and hoods, who seemed unwilling to reveal their identities.

There are branches every few hundred meters on the street, and there are road signs at the intersections showing the place names, so there is no risk of getting lost.

After all, the houses in this area seem to be pretty similar, and if you’re not careful you might not even know where you are.

Li Ming walked a few steps casually, showed the token at a roadside shop and asked where the largest inn in the city was. The shop owner even sent a waiter to take Li Ming there, which made Li Ming look at the token in his hand with even higher regard.

It was the same as before. After Li Ming showed the token at the inn, he was immediately treated as a VIP and stayed in a superior room. He didn't have to pay in advance and could just settle the bill together when he left.

The waiter took Li Ming to his room.

The superior guest rooms in this most upscale inn are naturally different. They are like suites, but in fact they are a small courtyard. Although small, they have everything you need, including a bathroom, kitchen, and toilet. It’s just a little small, but it’s sufficient.

Li Ming looked around and felt very satisfied.

Seeing this, the waiter came forward and asked, "Young master, I see your clothes are torn. Should I go and get you another one?"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this also within your service scope?"

The waiter nodded and smiled. "Of course. Whatever you want to eat or drink, or whatever you need, just let me know. Once you enter this room, I'll be your personal butler. It seems like this is your first time here, so if you have any questions, just ask me. I'll tell you everything I know." Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "Then go make me two more monk robes, the same shape as the one I'm wearing."

"Okay!" The waiter responded, and actually took out a tape measure from his arms and walked forward to carefully measure Li Ming's size.

Seeing Li Ming's surprise, the waiter said, "Hey, some customers have this kind of request, so I'm prepared. Master Hua from Wufeng Xiaoge, the largest clothing store in Jiulian City, is familiar with our shopkeeper. Plus, you have the token with you, so don't worry, I can help you make it tomorrow."

Li Ming nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

The waiter chuckled and said, "You're welcome, young master. This is what I should do. Would you like me to get you some hot water for a bath?"

"Okay." Li Ming nodded and said, "Thank you."

The waiter wrote down all of Li Ming's measurements and then left. Not long after, he knocked on the door again and said that the bathroom was ready.

Li Ming then went to the bathroom. Technically speaking, the bathroom wasn't very big. There was a tub on the floor, now filled with hot water at just the right temperature. The waiter said outside the door, "Young master, do you see the two bamboo tubes next to the tub? The left one holds cold water, the right one holds hot water. If you feel the temperature isn't right, let me know and I'll put the bamboo tubes up and fill it up for you from outside."

Li Mingying said: "I saw it, I know it."

But I thought to myself: The service is really good, no wonder this place is famous far and wide.

He took off his monk's robe and hung it aside. The wounds on his body were almost healed. Of course, these were only sword wounds on the surface. Thanks to the internal strength, the overall physical quality of the warriors in this world is much stronger, and the recovery speed after injury is generally improved accordingly. Besides, Li Ming also has the help of the entries.

The external injuries were not a big deal, but the injuries to the meridians and lungs were not so easy to recover. Li Ming planned to buy some medicinal herbs later. With the bonus of medical skills, he should be able to recover after taking the medicine for a few days.

Thinking about his next plan, Li Ming had already soaked in the bathtub. A warmth spread throughout his limbs, and Li Ming's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He began to review the gains and losses of last night's battle in his mind.

In fact, Li Ming has always had a good habit of touching corpses, but the seven swordsmen last night were very strange. After being killed by Li Ming, the first thing they saw was physical abnormalities. They aged several times in an instant, from being in their prime to being white-haired, dry and rotten, and they did not look like normal people at all. Li Ming checked and found from the signs after death that the potential of their physical bodies had been overdrawn long ago. Even if they were not killed by Li Ming, they would not live long.

Li Ming speculated in his heart that they were probably the kind of death squads trained by some big forces, and most of them practiced some skills with great side effects, which could be considered as consumables.

After having this idea, he recalled it again and immediately found something wrong. It turned out that they all seemed to have reached the third level of acquired cultivation, but they were several points worse than the average third level of acquired cultivation. It was just because they were in the sword formation, Li Ming was busy dealing with it and did not check it for a while.

The sword formation also solved the problem of their actual lack of combat power. As long as the seven of them had a high degree of tacit understanding and could fully exert the power of the sword formation, there would be considerable results. However, once the sword formation failed to work, they might be at a loss.

Apart from the seven long swords, they had almost no valuables on their bodies, and the swords that might be worth some money were deformed or broken in the collision of the final blow. On the contrary, the black gold stick in Li Ming's hand, the weapon confiscated from Sanwa Village, did not change at all after this battle except for a few imperceptible fine lines on the surface. It can be seen that this weapon is indeed extraordinary.

"But, does Jiulian City have such a fierce warrior? Infighting has led to the point where even a level one Xiantian warrior can be brought out? Judging from the expressions of Xu Xiao and Chu Youmeng, it's clear they don't know who this person is. And that Manager Qin, his sword moves are also very strange. Although they are well hidden, they still reveal their true colors at the critical moment of life and death. Hehe, it's very interesting."
