“Bounty: Survivor of the Green Corpse Evil Sect, nicknamed Green Faced Demon. Intelligence reward: 10 Silver Ingots. Head: 1 Gold Ingot.”

After glancing at the bounty poster of the familiar baldy a few more times, Zhou Chen understood what was going on. It turned out that the baldy he had killed a day ago had a bounty on him in Caelian City.

“If I knew this would happen, I would have brought his head here.”

Zhou Chen immediately felt that it was a pity.

“But I have his Elder Token, I wonder if it is enough to prove his death.”

“I should inquire…”

As a person who did not hate wealth, Zhou Chen felt that he could give it a try.

Zhou Chen scanned the notices on the large wooden sign and obtained a lot of information.

The content of the posts on the large wooden board was quite complicated. There were posts from the owner of the city, which was the Tyrant Fist Sect. For example, the bounty on baldy was posted by them. There were also reward notices on finding people and items, an announcement of a martial contest for marriage, and even advertisements for shops.

Zhou Chen focused on the notices posted by the Tyrant Fist Sect and found a recruitment notice that interested him greatly.

“Our sect’s Phoenix Ridge City has been attacked by demons several times. We are recruiting powerful warriors to help deal with them. Every demon that is killed will be rewarded with ten silver ingots…”

“Killing demons… I can do this.”

The reward for killing the demons was secondary to Zhou Chen. The Inspiration Pills that he could obtain from killing the demons was the most important. It was a treasure that Zhou Chen was extremely interested in.

“I can take this mission, but I need to deal with my hunger first.”

Zhou Chen made a change in his plan.

He had originally come to this place to inquire about high-grade cultivation techniques. Unexpectedly, he obtained the whereabouts of demons.

After looking at the notices, he rode past the crossroad. Not long after, he pulled the reins in front of an inn.

“Wulong Inn… does every place have this inn?”

The inn he stopped before had the same name as the one in Black Eagle Town. The interior design was also similar, but the area was larger. It was probably owned by the same person.

“This is it. The food and wine I ate before were good.”

Zhou Chen handed his horse to the horsekeeper beside the inn and stepped into the Wulong Inn.

The moment he entered, a familiar lively atmosphere welcomed him. A large number of customers were sitting around wooden tables and talking loudly while drinking wine and eating meat.

The waiter was wearing gray clothes and a gray cloth hat. He had a white cloth on his shoulder and was moving around the tables like a spinning top.

“Waiter, three kilograms of cooked beef, ten steamed buns, a plate of peanuts, a plate of vegetables, and a pot of rice wine.”

Zhou Chen found an empty seat and sat down. He shouted to the waiter who was busy working not far away from him.

“Alright! Sir, please wait a moment!”

Although the waiter was busy, his ears and eyes were very sharp. He immediately captured Zhou Chen’s order.

“This world is really good. Not only does the food taste good, but even if I eat a little more, I won’t attract too much attention.”

If Zhou Chen’s order appeared on Planet Blue, it would definitely be questioned by the service staff. However, this world was different. Zhou Chen had observed that martial artists had an astonishing appetite in this world. It was not rare to see someone like him who ate a lot.

‘Why isn’t anyone coming to harass me this time…’

While he was sitting alone by the wooden table and waiting, Zhou Chen realized that no brutish men came to cause trouble for him. The customers also did not pay much attention to him.

Feeling bored, he began to listen to the conversation of the surrounding customers.

As a person with an extraordinary physique, his hearing was very good. He could even hair the people on the tables furthest away from him.

“Brother Wu, let me tell you. There are a few new girls at the Spring Brothel on Second East Street. They look delicious!”

“What new girls… they were probably brought from the brothels in other cities!”

…

“Waiter! Wine! Ten pots of Burning Blades Wine!”

…

“I heard that recently, another elder of the Tyrant Fist Sect has reached the Grandmaster realm. This Tyrant Fist Sect is really progressing well. It might become a large sect in the future.”

“The Tyrant Fist Sect’s development is indeed not bad, but it’s still early to talk about becoming a large sect. Without the presence of a Great Martial Dao Grandmaster, it’s difficult to achieve it no matter how many Martial Dao Grandmasters there are.”

“Is a Great Martial Dao Grandmaster so powerful? Could it be that even the six Martial Dao Grandmasters of the Tyrant Fist Sect can’t defeat him?”

“Yes! More than ten years ago, there were eight grandmasters who jointly attacked a great grandmaster in the west, but they were almost all killed by the great grandmaster.”

“Wow, the peak figure in this world is really too awesome. Even a Martial Dao Expert feels very powerful to me. It’s really difficult to imagine a person who is three realms higher.”

“Heh heh, who told you that Great Martial Dao Grandmasters are the peak of the world? There’s Martial Dao Human Immortal above them! A Martial Dao Human Immortal is the true invincible existence! An existence that can move mountains and overturn seas!”

“Martial Dao Human Immortal… is there really such a person in this world…”

“Of course! At least there was in the past… Otherwise, who do you think the White Jade Capital belongs to?”

…

“Brother, I plan to try my luck in Phoenix Ridge City. I want to see if I can kill some demons and earn some money.”

“Oh? Then I’ll go with you. You are still some distance off from the Martial Dao Expert realm. It might be very dangerous if you encounter some powerful demons.”

“No need, I know what I am doing. I am going there not only to earn money but also to stimulate myself to breakthrough. If you go, it won’t be of much use.”

…

After listening to the customers’ conversation for a while, the beef dishes and wine were served on the table. He turned his attention to the food and drink while his thoughts raced.

‘So there are five realms of martial dao cultivation in this world. Expert, Master, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Human Immortal. The middle-grade cultivation technique in my hand, the Green Corpse Sutra, can only be cultivated to the Grandmaster realm. Only high-grade cultivation techniques might be able to push the cultivator to the Great Grandmaster and Human Immortal realm. This middle-grade cultivation technique is not good, the upper limit is too low.’

After listening to the conversation just now, Zhou Chen felt a strong dissatisfaction with the mid-grade cultivation technique. Its upper limit was actually suppressed by two realms by high-grade cultivation techniques.

‘That White Jade Capital sounds interesting too. I can ask around.’

Zhou Chen was also interested in the White Jade Capital that someone had mentioned earlier. Since it was the land of a Martial Dao Human Immortal, there must be some treasures there.. If it was not too dangerous, it was worth taking a look.
