It had been a few hours since Hugo went into the recovery pod, and on Earth it was evening now. The Inn reflected that as the “sun” in the sky was setting. It wasn’t an actual sun, but rather a projection of one. The Manor was well lit and tiki torches were placed around the garden along with a large bonfire. These were sudden changes Lex implemented since he had guests sitting outside, enjoying now. Honestly he was quite surprised that Falak was getting along so well with Chen and Blane, but after…-

Hugo Laurent was a self made man even though his life had never been easy. But he was not one to make excuses and always worked towards improving himself. Despite his lack of resources and backing, on Earth he was considered a cultivation genius and the rate of his growth drew many eyes. Eventually he joined the Deepwater Brotherhood, an organization similar to a private military that operated on the Moon and accepted various tasks too difficult or dangerous for ordinary cultivators. It was not the best…

Slowly, Falak made his way towards the Innkeeper as he used his spirit sense to investigate the area. Spirit sense was an ability those at a higher cultivation level attained that would allow them to perceive things in the greatest of details which were covered by their spirit sense. They could extract and withdraw their spiritual senses and use it to cover anything that was within their spiritual range. There were, of course, more uses to spiritual sense but that was the most common one. He was surprised…

“By the way,” Lex asked Mary casually as he munched on some homemade – no sorry, Innmade – baked chips. “What are the requirements for a PB Guest (Pro bono guest)?” He needed to calculate how long Chen and Blake would be at the Inn, and if they would have any free time after they left the recovery room or if they would be immediately sent back. “The most basic necessity I guess is someone who can’t afford the Inns commodities,” she replied, sitting on Lex’s shoulder. “But there are a…

Lex had left his apartment with the intention of jogging, but currently he could be found doing pull ups with the widest grin possible. It was still early in the day, around 6 am, so there was no one around to see him, otherwise people would either be extremely wary of his grinning face or would stop and spectate. Why was he grinning? It was because of how amazing he felt doing the pull ups. What’s the big deal, he already knew he had become more fit so why was he suddenly so excited about his strength…

Looking at the two bodies he could clearly identify them as soldiers or guards based on their uniform. Above them their information was available: Name: Chen Lee Power Level: Peak Qi Training Species: Human Midnight Inn Prestige Level: Not yet available Name: Blane Park Power Level: Peak Qi Training Species: Human Midnight Inn Prestige Level: Not yet available Initially he thought they were dead, but since they were alive it would be wrong if he just watched them die. It pinched his heart a bit…

Somewhere upstate New York in a mansion an old man sat in a meditation stance, holding a golden key in his hand trying to absorb spirit energy. The key would allow spirit energy to enter his body, and even pass through the meridians, but none of it was absorbed. It was like a teasing sensation, one that dangled his greatest desires in front of him, but kept them out of reach. Will let out a defeated sigh as he finally gave up. It was obvious to him, the key was whispering to him that it held the…

Lex got home and the first thing he did was chug another bottle of Botlam Dew and throw himself in bed. He slept for nearly 12 hours and woke up disoriented and in pain, and EXTREMELY hungry. Wiping the drool from his face, Lex grabbed his phone to check for notifications…and maybe order a lot of home delivery. He knew how to cook, but you couldn’t expect an injured man to cook, right? That was totally the reason. Unfortunately, he did not get the notification for the money from Marlo yet – which…

Lex groaned as the taxi hit a bump on the road. Marlo had given some painkillers which made him mostly numb, but any sudden movement would bring back his pain. He was already on his way back home now, having given the giant hulking man his answer. What could he have chosen? The fifty million dollars of course! Lex grinned to himself, despite the pain. What truth of the cultivation world, what hidden secrets? He had Earth’s most powerful beings as guests at his Inn, a much better source of information…

Lex found himself lying on his back on an observation table in nothing but his undergarments. Marlo, after his usual outburst, had Lex brought to a first aid room that he had in his apartment. As if everything was very routine, two female nurses entered the room and began Lex’s examination using various Spirit Tech. In a few minutes Marlo had a full report and was reading through it very seriously, though every time he saw something interesting he gave Lex a wide grin. “Took quite the beating,…
