“I’m just letting him know that he should know his place and back off. It would only take a month riding on a normal aerial immortal beast, and it would only cost two hundred Ethereal Coins. On the other hand, going with the Sevenstar Pavilion will cost him 20,000 Ethereal Coins. There’s no one who would pay a hundred times the price just to save twenty days of travel!” The elder shook his head.

Those at their cultivation realm could easily spend months in seclusion for their cultivation. Only a madman would spend so much money just to save twenty days!

“Well, that’s true…” The receptionist nodded in agreement. “Thinking about it, based on his tone, it doesn’t seem like he has the money, so he’s intending to head off to earn a bit of money first.”

The elder harrumphed in response. “The fastest way to earn money in the Ethereal Hall is through the dueling ring. However, even with the stakes multiplying with each victory, he will have to win many rounds consecutively. Even the core disciples from the Sevenstar Pavilion who frequent our dueling rings find it hard to win four rounds consecutively, let alone him!”

As the Sevenstar Pavilion was located in proximity to Biyuan City’s Ethereal Hall, the disciples of the Sevenstar Pavilion often frequented the place.

The registration price is five Ethereal Coins. Even if he manages to win five rounds back-to-back, that would only be eighty Ethereal Coins. He’s still a long way off from reaching his goal of 20,000 Ethereal Coins,” the receptionist replied with a chuckle.

The initial cost for joining the dueling ring was set to not be too high, just five Ethereal Coins. This was to attract more people to participate in the duels.

If one won a round, the stakes would immediately double. The next challenger would have to pay a corresponding price in order to join the battle.

The elder nodded with a smile. “Alright, I’ll be heading back to rest now. Call me if anything else happens.”

Following which, he turned around and returned to his room. However, barely after he took a few steps, another receptionist rushed over anxiously and shouted, “Elder!”

“What’s wrong?” The elder frowned.

“Just earlier, someone has won ten consecutively rounds in the dueling ring!” the receptionist exclaimed.

“Ten rounds?” The elder was taken aback. “It’s been a long time since anyone has been so successful in the dueling ring. Is he a core disciple from the Sevenstar Pavilion?”

In Biyuan City, those who could possibly win ten rounds consecutively were, more often than not, core disciples of the Sevenstar Pavilion.

These experts would make an appearance from time to time, but they would rarely participate in the duel. After all, it would be simply too unfair for the other cultivators. It would be like a professional fighter going on stage to challenge amateurs; it would not reflect well on them even if they did win.

“According to Zhao Meng, he isn’t a core disciple from the Sevenstar Pavilion!” the receptionist replied.

Zhao Meng was one of the core disciples of the Sevenstar Pavilions, and his ranking was rather high.

“I see…” The elder was stunned for a moment before quickly rushing back to his room. “I have to head over to take a look!”

He took out his Ethereal Token and immersed his consciousness into it. Before long, he was standing within the virtual Ethereal Hall.

With a few steps, he made his way over to the dueling ring.

Atop the dueling ring, there were two figures fighting one another barehanded.

The gray-robed fighter on the left was launching a series of powerful palm strikes. In response, the fighter on the right swiftly treaded around the battlefield nimbly, dodging the attacks.

“Isn’t that gray-robed fighter over there the top ranker of the Sevenstar Pavilion’s core disciples, Meng Han?”

“I never thought that he would come here personally!”

“Well, the other fighter up there has already won twelve rounds consecutively with ease, and three of his opponents were fellow core disciples from the Sevenstar Pavilion. As the top ranker of the core disciples, he probably feels obliged to make a move to protect the reputation of the Sevenstar Pavilion.”

Barely after arriving at the dueling ring, the elder could already hear such discussions all around.

“This is already the thirteenth round?” The elder was stunned.

He vividly recalled the receptionist reporting to him earlier that someone had won ten rounds consecutively. When did it turn into winning twelve rounds consecutively?
