Alex called Elryn a heartless shopkeeper because he finally understood the true design of the Boundless Shop.
The single Boundless Coin charged per day for accommodation was not generosity; it was actually bait. A price so cheap that no one would hesitate to stay; as long as someone remained inside the Boundless Shop, they would feel safe, comfortable, and tempted. Time did not pass outside; cultivation could be improved drastically here, dangers could be avoided, and even death could be reversed as long as people could pay the price. For anyone burdened by enemies, curses, limits, and many other situations that have no solution in the outside world, staying here would feel like the most reasonable choice.
