The inn before you, the Youlai Inn, is shrouded in mystery.
Eat a bowl of soup or drink a cup of wine here, and good fortune will cling to you. Stay one night, and you can ascend to immortality. Even breathing in the stench from the slop bucket in the back courtyard can add ten years to your life.
How can you get into the Youlai Inn?
1. The innkeeper is your friend.
2. The innkeeper likes you.
3. You have something the innkeeper needs.
4. Kill the innkeeper.
5. Blow up the inn.
Note: Options 4 and 5 are not recommended. Don't ask why. The innkeeper is invincible.
As long as the innkeeper is there, hope remains.
