We paid for a Grade A recommendation letter.

But what about now?

You only gave us a Grace C recommendation letter. Can you please explain to us what exactly is going on?”

In the recommendation letters for entry into the Sunset Secret Realm, there are four grades: A, B, C, and D.

Grade A is the best, and grade D is the worst.

The former is similar in function to the recommendation letter written by Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain for them.

The Grade B recommendation letter is significantly inferior.

After exiting the secret realm, one needs to hand over thirty percent of their gains.

For Grade C, it’s forty percent.

And for Grade D, it’s fifty percent.

According to the price standards initially given by Shopkeeper Yang,

The price of a Grade A recommendation letter is more than ten times that of a Grade C letter.

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s questioning, Shopkeeper Yang’s face still bore the same smile.

He spread his hands in a manner that seemed apologetic yet indifferent and said,

“I’m truly sorry, both of you. The Grade A recommendation letters were taken by someone not long ago.

This Grade C letter was what I managed to save for you to the best of my ability.”

Heh, so you mean we should thank you for this?”

Shen Ruyan sneered.

But Shopkeeper Yang still smiled and shook his head.

“There’s no need for that.

Honestly, I feel quite ashamed that things turned out this way.

How about this? If I have a chance in the future, I will try to compensate you somehow. What do you think?”

If one didn’t know what kind of person this Shopkeeper Yang was and the business ethics of the Cloud Sea Inn, they might really believe that he was genuinely apologetic.

“No need for any compensation.”

Jiang Chengxuan’s tone was indifferent.

“We just hope you can return the extra top-grade spirit stones we paid you.” Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Shopkeeper Yang’s smile finally began to fade.

His expression turned indifferent as he looked down at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan from a superior stance and said,

“I was showing respect by explaining to you just now.

Now, I hope you don’t push your luck.

Otherwise, the consequences, I believe, are something you can’t afford.” His words instantly turned Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces ashen. They exchanged a look, took a deep breath, and then nodded heavily at Shopkeeper Yang.

“Very well, very good.

We’ve said what we had to. Farewell!”

With that, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan left Cloud Sea Inn without looking back.     ⁸

Seeing them leave, a figure suddenly appeared behind Shopkeeper Yang. The figure said, “My lord, do you need me to follow and take care of those two?”

A smile appeared on Shopkeeper Yang’s face again.

He shook his head and said: “No need. It’s rare to find such fat sheep. I’m counting on them to bring me even greater profits in the future.”

On the other side.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan left the Cloud Sea Inn, their previously angry expressions instantly disappeared.

Shen Ruyan said, “Husband, shall we head straight to the Sunset Secret Realm now?”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded, “Yes, let’s go straight there.

With our speed, by the time we reach the Sunset Secret Realm, it should be just about time for it to open.”

“Yeah.”

Shen Ruyan also nodded.

“But really, those people at Cloud Sea Inn are quite daring to do such things. They took our money for a Grade A recommendation letter, but what they gave us was only a Grade C. It’s like they’ve made fools out of us.”

“Heh, isn’t that what we expected from the beginning?”

Jiang Chengxuan laughed, “With these people’s nature, how could they not try to scrape off a layer of profit from us?”

“So, are we just going to let this go?”

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes suddenly darkened.

He slowly said, “Whatever they took from us, they have to return.

Those spirit stones are just temporarily in the hands of Cloud Sea Inn. At the

right time, we will take them back, with interest.”

As they spoke, the couple swiftly moved toward the Sunset Secret Realm.

Two months later.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan appeared on a vast black plain, they

found it was already filled with many cultivators.

There were no less than a hundred Nascent Soul Perfected Lords, and many of them were in the late stages of Nascent Soul.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked around and realized that many Nascent Soul cultivators were gathered in front of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Soul Formation sects, flattering them in a very obsequious manner.

This would be almost unimaginable in the Northern Border. The dignified

Nascent Soul Perfected Lords, in the presence of their peers, were showing such a lowly attitude, some even to the point of servility.

However, in the Eastern End, this seemed quite normal. Those cultivators from major Soul Formation sects seemed to quite enjoy the flattery from their peers. Eventually, a massive flying ship appeared in the distant sky, led by a man dressed in the attire of the Three Sun Sect, one of the most powerful Soul Formation sects in the Eastern End.

The sect had four Soul Formation Heavenly Lords and more than fifty Nascent

Soul cultivators.

Among them, the most famous was Thunder Law, a Perfected Lord rumored to be on the cusp of reaching Soul Formation, making him one of the most influential figures in the Eastern End and the most likely to ascend to Soul Formation in the Three Sun Sect.

This man at the forefront of the flying ship was none other than Thunder Law, who was also responsible for overseeing the opening of the Sunset Secret Realm.

“Greetings, Perfected Lord Thunder Law!”

Upon the arrival of Thunder Law’s flying ship above the crowd, many immediately bowed and paid their respects to him.

This sight once again refreshed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s perspective.

Despite Thunder Law’s strong abilities, high cultivation, and extraordinary status, he was still a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Theoretically, everyone’s status was roughly equal, and interactions were generally on a friendly basis.

However, what they witnessed was not so. It seemed more like a relationship between servants and their master

While Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were sighing in their hearts, Perfected

Lord Thunder Law had already landed from the flying ship.

He floated above everyone and said indifferently,

“Everyone, the opening of the Sunset Secret Realm will be jointly overseen by

myself and Chu Guanglie of the Chu family.”

The Chu family was another powerful Soul Formation force in the Eastern End, with three Soul Formation Heavenly Lords and over forty Nascent Soul cultivators.

As for Chu Guanglie, just like Perfected Lord Thunder Law, he was also half a step into the Soul Formation.

Just as he finished speaking, a huge flying ship also sailed over from the end of the sky in the distance.

When the flying ship stopped above everyone.

A young man in a blue robe slowly arrived in front of Thunder Law.

“Hehe, it’s been a long time. Fellow Daoist Thunder Law, you seem even more impressive than before.”

It was as if he did not see so many cultivators present at all. He directly struck up a conversation with Thunder Law.

Thunder Law, unfazed, chatted with Chu Guanglie for several hours until dusk fell.

Finally, the two smiled at each other and finally turned their attention back to the crowd..
