The Innkeeper

Chapter 1213  Rewards

But he really was too short on time. Between breaking through to the next realm, managing a massive conspiracy against Dao level forces, taking care of his sister, looking for his other siblings and putting up the perfect act in front of the whole universe, he was a little swamped. But bit by bit, he was handling things.

The first thing he did upon returning to the Inn was investigate his rewards. There was the crystal orb containing countless laws that he got from the tower, as well as an invitation to the tourney.

He swept through the next few items, not really expecting to be surprised, but he was proven wrong. Since the Henali had organized a tournament, and used the contestants to clear various incredibly troublesome areas for themselves, then how could they cheap out?

The first, and more important item was a pill bottle containing a single pill called False Death. There was also a small piece of jade which included a description of the pill.

Upon consumption, it would not act immediately, but instead would assimilate with the body of whoever ate it. The pill would only come into effect if and when the person who consumed it would die.

Barring complete and immediate destruction of the entire soul, the pill would allow the person to instantly come back to life in their peak state! There was literally no price for such a pill, and let alone the highest level member of the Infinity Emporium, even if he were the owner it would not be easy getting his hands on such a thing.

If Lex sold this right now, he wouldn\'t be surprised if he could directly buy out a massive chunk of the emporium! Even then, the only reason it was a \'massive chunk\' of the emporium, and not the entire emporium itself was because the pill was only effective up until the Earth Immortal realm. That meant it was not effective for Heavenly Immortals.

Tragically, it would also not work for Lex. It was not that the power he had sealed was enough to put him in the Heaven Immortal realm, far from it, but that he had consumed the Amber Chaos resin.

With a Dao level ingredient making up a part of his body and soul, there was no way this pill was strong enough to work on him. But even then, there was no shortage of people he could give it to.

Moon would be his first guess, but once again, her unique situation made it so that it might not work on her.

Whatever the case, it was something he would keep with himself for now. He might end up needing it for one of his other sisters, or maybe an Inn worker going on an especially dangerous mission.

With his expectations already exceeded in just the first reward, he looked eagerly at the next ones. The second item was a yoga mat. Well, technically, it was a meditation rug, but it looked a lot like a yoga mat. Its use was not as mind blowing as False Death, but that did not mean it was not impressive.

When contemplating and studying laws, the mat would enhance the users perception, making it much easier for them to make gains. For ordinary immortals, whose cultivation path slowed down drastically or stopped entirely upon entering this realm, this mat was invaluable. But once again… it was not exactly useful for Lex.

Not only did his cultivation technique innately increase his comprehension, so that this wouldn\'t be an issue, but he also had access to Meditation rooms inside the Midnight Inn which achieved the same effect. In fact, he was sure that sooner or later he\'d be able to improve the rooms even more.

To be clear, each of his rooms had already gone through various rounds of upgrades already, and their effect was greatly enhanced, but to upgrade them further would cost multiple MT. Even though he had enough authority to increase the effectiveness of each room once more, he literally could not afford it. So much for being rich.

Regardless, the second item wasn\'t bad. He could gift it to someone or use it according to circumstances, but at least right now he didn\'t need it. Maybe he\'d put it in the Gift shop. He\'d been neglecting that for a while.

He looked towards the final item, expecting another great but not at all useful item. To an extent, he was right, though it was undecided how useful it would actually be.

The last item was an identity token linked to him. The token could‌ be used not just in the Origin realm, but anywhere in the universe to identify as an ally of the Henali. It also contained 1000 Henali credits, which could be redeemed to request a service of any kind from the Henali. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

As it was, Lex already had enough power and prestige to be able to request cooperation from the Henali without the use of these credits, but he could see how they were useful. The basis of him being able to request cooperation was the Midnight Inn and what it represented. Without it, he would need to use these credits.

Lex put away all three items, and switched all of his belongings from his spatial bangle to his newly acquired spatial ring. Then, at last, he took out the crystal ball containing countless laws, ready to unleash it within the Midnight realm. If even the Origin realm wanted to absorb these laws, he could only imagine how useful they would be for the Inn.

Without any prompt from Lex, the crystal ball shattered as soon as it was brought out of the ring, and all the colors within it dissolved. Lex almost called that anticlimactic, but managed to contain himself - not that he believed in setting off flags. Even so, a storm began to brew within the Midnight realm.
