- Limited capacity: Each branch has only twenty rooms, prompting Xiao Yexuan to reserve space for selected prospective tenants 43 79.
- Screening: Crystal balls identify suitable recruits or test applicants. Only three of the five students brought by Liu Erlong are admitted 43 53.

- Payment requirements: The establishment accepts cash, and even powerful Soul Beasts must pay rent and sign contracts 49 95.
- Personal freedom: Xiao Yexuan assures Bo Saixi that renting a room does not bind tenants to the establishment or restrict their lives 142.
Ways to Obtain Draws and Rewards

| Advance rent | Rental payments grant prize draws. The later newcomer offer awards one draw per prepaid month for the first hundred years, followed by one point per prepaid year up to a total thousand-year term 17 49. |
| Positive reviews | Reviews provide additional draw opportunities. A later event offers a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone or Soul Ring for reviews of at least fifty characters on seven consecutive days 17 70. |

Prize Pool
- Mystic Water Pills: Highly sought after for improving cultivation and Innate Soul Power 16 46.

Xiao Yexuan states that the establishment’s original Soul Bones and Soul Rings are produced through mysterious energy rather than by killing Soul Beasts. Rem displays her rings to support this explanation when Xiao Wu questions their origin 17 18.
Personnel and Security
- Xiao Yexuan — Owner, landlord, recruiter, and instructor. Rental income and reviews feed the system that finances further development 1 44 49.
- Ning Rongrong — Handles recruitment and room rentals before becoming manager of the Heaven Dou City branch 52 53 66.
- Qian Renxue — Wins a landlady position through a summer event 121.
- Ram and Rem — Maids who welcome guests and enforce entry rules. Ram protects Ning Rongrong from Tang San and reveals Soul Douluo strength with two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings 9 11.
- Daji — Works at the Heaven Dou City front desk and directs rental inquiries to Ning Rongrong 52.
- Ellen — A Titled Douluo protector who freezes and captures the weakened Tang Hao 25.
- Dragon Duke — Hired as a guard; his appointment raises the security rating and unlocks branch creation 44.
- Spirit Hall elders — Sign guard contracts with defined duties, shifts, and payment. Xiao Yexuan specifies that their obligation is protection, not compulsory participation in unrelated activities 81.
- Tang Yuehua’s Clear Sky Sect faction — Leaves the divided sect to become guards at Maple Forest Evening 89.
By the finale, a branch’s landlady is described as effectively half its owner, with considerable authority. A cooking contest offers the Heaven Dou City position, attracting the Silver Dragon King’s interest as a way to establish a foothold for Soul Beasts 156.
History and Story Role
Establishment and Early Tenants
Xiao Yexuan arrives on Douluo Continent with the building and Landlord System, but its minimum daily rent of one Gold Soul Coin initially leaves him without guests. He approaches Zhu Zhuqing outside the Rose Hotel and persuades her to inspect the inn by promising cultivation benefits, particularly its Simulation Pod 1.
Ning Rongrong subsequently enters despite Oscar’s objections, followed by Xiao Wu after she witnesses Zhu Zhuqing’s and Ning Rongrong’s rapid improvement. The availability of Mystic Water Pills and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones makes the inn attractive even to people who distrust its landlord 9 16 17.
Recruitment and Outside Interest
Tang Hao plans to send Tang Yuehua to obtain Soul Bones for the Clear Sky Sect, while Yu Xiaogang asks Liu Erlong to acquire Mystic Water Pills for him. Tang Yuehua ultimately turns against Tang Hao, and Xiao Yexuan accepts her as a tenant despite her original motives 25 35 46.
Expansion into Heaven Dou City brings the establishment to the attention of imperial and Spirit Hall figures. Xue Ke becomes a tenant, while Qian Renxue investigates its rewards and sends a confidential report to Spirit Hall’s worshippers. Its powerful defenders and ability to distribute Soul Bones make forcible seizure a dangerous prospect 52 70.
Spiritual Qi Gathering Place
Installing the Small Spirit Vein makes secrecy impossible. Crowds gather around the Heaven Dou City branch, Emperor Xue Ye comes to absorb its energy, and major factions divide the surrounding area into cultivation sections. Suitable applicants begin waiting outside because the rooms are already insufficient 89.
The same resource attracts the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, who join and sign thousand-year contracts. Maple Forest Evening consequently offers both humans and Soul Beasts access to cultivation beyond the ordinary Soul Power system 90 94 95.
Later Expansion
Bai Xiuxiu promotes the establishment through her experiences on Sea God Island and persuades Xiao Bai to become a tenant. Bo Saixi initially refuses an invitation because of her duties as High Priestess, but later visits and examines its unfamiliar facilities 127 135 142 143 145.
Following the reputation-level-five upgrade, Xiao Yexuan opens two Star Dou Great Forest properties. Gu Yuena, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji enter to rent rooms and draw prizes. Using the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s luck, they win one hundred top prizes at once; Xiao Yexuan honors the result while warning of possible heavenly punishment 148 149 154.
