After the two Tangs got their seats, no rogue cultivator or commoner managed to pass the test. Most of them left in regret, lamenting that they should have come earlier than the people before them.

Still, several cultivators fought for the seats on the third floor. Tiger Swordsman was one of them.

Unlike the rogue cultivators, Tiger Swordsman understood the nature of Leo. He presented a round crystal to Dongfang Mei.

"Here is a 9th-grade monster core that I have been keeping for ages. I was planning to ask an alchemist to refine it, but I don\'t think I need this anymore. I hope our lord still needs this."

Dongfang Mei brightly smiled and nodded at Tiger Swordsman, "You\'re correct! Lord Florida Man is always in need of such material. Here is your keycard and the plaque. Your seat is on the fourth floor."

"Huh?"

Tiger Swordsman took the keycard and the plaque. The token showed the number of a seat on the fourth floor.

"F-Fourth floor\'s seat?!"

"That\'s right."

"B-But that core isn\'t that valuable…"

"A man\'s trash is another man\'s treasure. Have you heard about that?"

"…Yeah, I read that from one of the purchased books."

"Now, don\'t waste my time. Pack your things and enjoy. We need to welcome other guests."

"…"

Tiger Swordsman reluctantly nodded and followed a path to the elevator.

Meanwhile, the crowd finally grasped a clue to pass Dongfang Mei\'s test. They started offering monster cores, hoping to get a good seat in this ceremony.

"Fairy, I have a sixth-stage monster core. Can I join?"

Dongfang Mei grinned, but she shook her head. "Only the 9th grade monster cores or better are eligible. We don\'t need weaker cores."

The crowd was disappointed. This time, most of the rogue cultivators gave up and left.

After most of the crowd was gone, the hotel entrance was clear. This allowed many groups of observers and strong employees of the domain to come in.

The gang of ponies arrived. As this was an important event, Taxi, Ricardo, and their friends polymorphed into humans. They also wore black suits and formal clothes.

Taxi and everybody presented their gifts. They placed strange horns on the table.

"Smash!"

Dongfang Mei deeply sighed as she was familiar with the SMASH language. She counted their heads and asked.

"How many horns?"

"SMASH!" (100! Everybody donates each!)

"I see. That must be painful."

"Smash." (Compared to what Florida Man gave us, this is nothing. Our horns can regrow.)

"Good. Then, I\'ll be taking these. You can go straight to the fourth floor."

"Smash?" (Not fifth floor?! But we\'re comrades!)

"The lord limits the entries on the fifth floor. He values privacy. Also, he informed us that he doesn\'t want to meet too many people today. If you want to congratulate him, you can do so later."

"…Smash. Smash?" (Fine. I\'ll chat with him later. Oh, by the way, do we get to play in the new rooms? I mean, there are a few female unicorns in season. We hope we can…)

"Dammit, you freaking pervert horses! Do it in your goddamn barn, not in this hotel! I forbid you to revert back into your horse form! You also cannot copulate with your mates!"

"SMASH!!" (NUUUUUU!!)

"NOW, GET LOST!"

The group of ponies in disguise sulked and took their items. They proceeded to the fourth floor as instructed.

Dongfang Mei shook her head as she gave up on these perverted creatures. She wished that these guys could adapt to the human culture and ethics soon.

After Taxi\'s people got their seats, the next batch of youngsters entered. Jin Yong, Gao Yan, Cat, and Yao Qiqi arrived with strange red bags.

Cat was in her humanoid form. Unlike the usual, she wore a white evening dress like a proper lady. Moreover, her demeanor and the way she walked were so refined that Dongfang Mei almost mistook her for a noble lady.

Yao Qiqi was the same as ever. She tagged along with Cat, holding her hand like siblings. The girl had been quiet for a long time as she had been in seclusion in the shopping mall every day. In addition, her cultivation was already in the quasi-immortal realm.

When Dongfang Mei saw Yao Qiqi with this group, she flinched. She didn\'t expect the innocent girl to be this close to these troublemakers.

The elder looked at Gao Yan and Jin Yong. She inquired, "You two are out already? How are your injuries?"

Dongfang Mei referred to the old injuries that Gao Yan and Jin Yong got from the Cow Level Realm.

The duo brightly grinned and curled their arms, flexing their muscles.

"We\'re healed, senior," Gao Yan laughed.

"Our medicines and pills are the best in this world. Obviously, we easily made it through!" Jin Yong snickered while he fetched a notebook from his storage ring. He put it on top of the counter.

Dongfang Mei gazed at the notebook. She revealed a faint smile, "An annotation? A cultivation method? What are you offering?"

Jin Yong puffed his chest, "I\'ve come up with a healing pill recipe! Although the ingredients require poisonous mushrooms, they can turn into a panacea, which can cure most mortal-grade poisons!"

"But the store already has the Hope and Dream pills for sale though. Do you think Lord Florida Man needs this?"

"We can try. It\'s my honest research. Well, he might find one or two inspirations from my note."

Dongfang Mei liked Jin Yong\'s attitude. She also rechecked the young man\'s cultivation base.

She couldn\'t help but impress. The external aura of Jin Yong was the same as any earth celestial, aka the first rank immortal. But deep in his dantian, Dongfang Mei sensed the turbulence of star energy, which reflected the nature of a celestial warrior – the fifth stage immortal.

Dongfang Mei was envious of Tang Xuan and Tang Tian that they had this young man as their core disciple. Since his future cultivation potential was limitless, Dongfang Mei gave him an exception.

"You go to the fifth floor. The room keycard is here. Don\'t waste this opportunity."

Jin Yong was surprised, "I thought I would have gotten a pass to the third floor at best. Why the highest, senior?"

"Just shut it and go. Also, take the notes with you. Give it to Lord Florida Man yourself."

Jin Yong dryly laughed and received his notebook back. He politely cupped his fist and bowed 90 degrees, "I\'ll remember this favor, senior. When I reach the pinnacle realm, I\'ll come back and repay you."

"That sounds cliché as hell. Move along, you brat! Give the room to your friends behind you!"

"Hahaha!"

Jin Yong laughed and followed the employees to the elevator to the fifth floor. He didn\'t forget to turn around and taunted Gao Yan, "Good luck, Gao Yan. I\'ll be waiting for you at the top!"

Gao Yan smacked his lips and flipped his finger, "Scram, you shameless senior! Just you wait!"

Dongfang Mei watched their interaction with a bright smile on her face. Looking at their interaction reminded her of the time when she was young.

"You have a good friend, Gao Yan." Dongfang Mei praised the young man.

Gao Yan, the man who always walked around in a tactical suit, slightly shook his head and complained, "He scammed me when we were recuperating. Last month, I was planning to visit the supermarket and buy a hope and dream pill, that idiot suddenly showed up and forcefully fed me his experimental pill. I was bedridden for a week after that. Well, my soul and dantian injuries are healed because of that though."

"Doesn\'t that mean his pills were legitimately good?"

"A hope and dream pill could have healed me instantly. I wasted a week because of that."

"Ah, I see." Dongfang Mei changed the subject, "What about your tribute, junior? What are you bringing?"

Gao Yan sighed and brought plastic bags of his blood to the counter. He then explained, "This is my contaminated blood."

Dongfang Mei was amused, "Contaminated blood?"

Gao Yan pointed at his antler horns, "See these, senior?"

The horns had been with Gao Yan since the Orlando expedition. Leo was the one who implanted them on him.

The horns contained several stars\' worth of lightning Qi. Dongfang Mei measured it with her senses and discovered that the horns had the same energy as a star celestial immortal.

She checked his cultivation base next. Impressively, he was a stage higher than Jin Yong who was several years older than him.

Gao Yan was a celestial general, aka the 6th-stage immortal.

Compared to Dongfang Mei, who was just an earth celestial, this junior could be considered the top genius of their domain. From Dongfang Mei\'s perspective, Gao Yan deserved Leo\'s guidance the most.

"What did you do during the past few months, junior? You have grown stronger so fast!"

Gao Yan dryly laughed. He reluctantly revealed his secrets, "I\'ve been sneaking around when I was supposed to be recuperating, senior. Actually, when I was sleeping, I accidentally ejected my soul and wandered to a strange river full of spirits. By chance, I met a kind senior, and he taught me various things. When I returned, I was struck by a spiritual tribulation. When I recovered, I was already at this level."

Dongfang Mei had so many questions to ask the junior. Still, she was curious more about the contaminated blood.

"What about the blood? How was it connected to your horns?"

"Oh, right. I got distracted. You see, senior. When I went through the spiritual tribulation, I split my body into two. My evil spirit possessed one of my bodies and tried to kill me. Well, long story short, I killed him. These bags of blood are the remains of that evil spirit and my discarded body. Oh, don\'t worry about the evil spirit, though. The lightning Qi in my horns already exorcized it."

"…"

Dongfang Mei was speechless. She wondered if she had the qualifications to evaluate this young man. After all, Gao Yan\'s presence and air slightly resembled top experts in the past.

"…Anyway, you can have your blood bags with you. You can go straight to the fifth floor. Take your keycards and the plaque."

"Many thanks, senior!" Gao Yan was overjoyed. He bowed 90 degrees and received his items. Then, he rushed toward the elevators, hoping to see his senior brother\'s reaction.

Dongfang Mei shook her head. She turned to the two troublemakers next.

"What about you, Cat? What are you doing here?"

Cat widely grinned. She showed Dongfang Mei her palms.

"Nom-Nom Meow?" (Are there any food, senior?)

Dongfang Mei blankly stared at the dark elf dryad. Everybody else brought presents, but this girl audaciously demanded their presents instead.

As Dongfang Mei didn\'t want Cat to cause trouble, she passed her the fifth-floor plaque.

"Follow your friend to the fifth floor. The food is there."

"Nom-Nom Meow <3!" (Thank you!)

"Learn human speech, dammit."

Cat giggled and cat-walked her way to the elevator.

After the cancerous monster had gone, a baby girl remained.

"What about me, grandma? Or should I say, Nom Nom Meow?" Yan Qiqi copied Cat and showed Dongfang Mei her palms.

"…"
