Killing God - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Accommodation
There were inns in Broken Moon City, and there were more than one. There were high and low-grade inns, but the guests they targeted were basically cultivators who came and went. As for the price, it was naturally different. Ordinary spirit crystals stayed for three days, while the top three spirit crystals stayed for one day.

The difference in prices was so great that the environment of this inn was naturally very different. However, in general, it was said that the highest price in the city was also the most expensive inn. There was even a Spirit Gathering Array in every room, which could be of some benefit to cultivators. It could be considered as a penny for a penny for a penny for a penny for a penny for a penny for a penny for a penny for a penny for a penny.

However, Shen Shi was currently short of money, so he naturally kept his distance from those high-end inns that only wealthy disciples could afford to live in. In fact, whether it was in the Origin Realm or the Primordial Chaos Realm, a very common phenomenon was that a large number of rogue cultivators lived in the heavens and earth most of the time.

It sounded a bit desolate, but this was the reality in the cultivation world. Most rogue cultivators were short of cultivation resources, and the most basic spirit crystals had to be carefully spent to ensure their cultivation. How could they afford to stay in an inn? Moreover, an ordinary inn was actually just a room with a bed. There was nothing special about it. It was at most quieter.

As for sleeping out in the open, since he was a cultivator, his physical body had naturally been tempered and polished. He was stronger than mortals. Sleeping in the wild was actually not a big deal. Therefore, for a long time, most rogue cultivators chose a realistic approach. Few people went to inns to live in, so it was not surprising in the cultivation world.

As for Shen Shi, according to his current situation, it wasn’t impossible for him to find a place to deal with him in this city for a few days. He hadn’t really enjoyed his life in the Demon Realm these past few years. However, in the end, he thought for a while and found an inn. Of course, it was the cheapest and most ordinary type. The reason was very simple. He bought a large pile of talisman spirit materials to make talismans. As talismans were so delicate and tedious, he naturally needed a quiet place.

Yun Lai Inn was the place he had decided to stay.

Of course, the name of this inn had the meaning of “guests like clouds”. However, when Shen Shi saw this inn, he saw that there were only a few people here and there weren’t many guests coming and going, but it was slightly different from this name. However, it was better to have fewer people. What Shen Shi wanted the most at this moment was silence.

He walked into Yun Lai Inn and a waiter came up to greet him. After he announced that he wanted to stay, the inn owner on the other side walked over and praised his inn enthusiastically. It sounded like Yun Lai Inn was no different from the most upscale inn in the city except that there was no Spirit Gathering Array in the room.

Shen Shi smiled. In any case, all he wanted was a quiet room that could forge talismans, so he didn’t bother with the boss. He asked for the price. Sure enough, it was the lowest price in the city. A spirit crystal lived for three days.

Shen Shi estimated the number of talismans and spirit materials in his Ruyi bag. He thought that if he wanted to make talismans out of these spirit materials, even if he seized the time, it would take him at least five to six days to complete it, including the cultivation and rest he needed next.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Shi first gave the inn owner surnamed He two spirit crystals. He had set up a six-day stay, but he paid more and didn’t haggle with the boss. He just said that he was a rogue cultivator who had just arrived at the Origin Realm recently and didn’t have much experience. He asked Boss He to give him a brief introduction of the situation in the Origin Realm, especially in Duanyue City.

Owner He was also a cultivator. However, his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Realm. However, since he was able to open an inn in Broken Moon City, his eyesight was naturally not too bad. He could also tell that Shen Shi was not just an ordinary rogue cultivator as he had said.

If it was an ordinary rogue cultivator, their cultivation realm was only at the Qi Refining Realm but not at the Origin Condensation Realm, there was no need to think about it. Nine out of ten were sleeping in the wilderness outside the city. However, Boss He had opened the door to do business. Shen Shi’s identity might be suspicious, which was inconsistent with his words, but what did this have to do with him? Therefore, in the end, Boss He pretended not to know with a smile. On the way to help Shen Shi stay and bring him to his room, he politely and roughly told Shen Shi about the situation in the surroundings.

Originally, this Origin Returning Realm was considered to be a three-level world according to its geographical location within the Primordial Chaos Realms. The so-called names of these two and three realms, Actually, it was also very simple. Everyone knew that the center of gravity of the Primordial Chaos World was the vast and boundless Primordial Chaos Master Realm, which had yet to be fully explored. In the 108 Primordial Chaos Realms, the main method of traveling to and from all walks of life was the ancient teleportation formation constructed from the Golden Embryo Stones passed down from ancient times.

There were a total of 33 ancient teleportation formations in the Primordial Chaos Master Realm, and they were the most numerous of all the worlds. For many years, the human race had centered around the Primordial Chaos Master Realm. Any alien realm that could be reached by teleporting through a formation was called the Second Layer Realm. In the middle, one had to pass through the Second Layer Realm and teleport to another ancient teleportation formation before reaching the Third Layer Realm. This was the same logic. It was said that the most remote realm in the Primordial Chaos Realm needed to teleport through six different realms to reach the Seventh Layer Realm.

One had to know that not all of the ancient teleportation formations were gathered in one place. Even the Primordial Chaos Master Realm, which had the most teleportation formations, only had 17 ancient teleportation formations on the famous array island outside Tianhong City. The remaining 16 were scattered over the vast territory of the Primordial Chaos Master Realm, and there were no rules to speak of.

And from the Primordial Chaos Master Realm to the Origin Realm, To be exact, If the people from the Ling Xiao Sect wanted to pick up Shen Shi from the Broken Moon City of the Origin Realm, they would first have to teleport from the Flowing Cloud City of the Haizhou Prefecture. First, they would teleport all the way to Tianhong City, then to the array island. Then, they would travel from an ancient teleportation array in the middle to the Black River Realm, then cross the entire Black River Realm, heading to another ancient teleportation array before arriving at the Origin Realm.

It was only after hearing this that Shen Shi finally understood why Ling Xiao Sect needed to spend a full ten days to send people over. After all, the Primordial Chaos Realm was simply too large. Speaking of which, it was all thanks to the fact that the Divine Immortal Association had used the ancient teleportation array many years ago. From this, one could comprehend the short-range teleportation formations set up by the human race. As long as one’s physical body was strong enough to withstand those pressures, one would be able to travel tens of millions of kilometers across the Primordial Chaos Master Realm in a short period of time. Otherwise, even cultivators who were skyrocketing would have an incomparable headache.

With these words, common sense, The corner of Boss He’s eyes lit up as he secretly glanced at Shen Shi. Seeing his thoughtful and awakened appearance, his heart became more and more certain of his previous speculation. He secretly sneered, thinking that this Origin Returning Realm was the end of the Primordial Chaos Master Realm heading towards the Black River Realm and towards the Origin Returning Realm. There was no ancient teleportation formation that led to a deeper realm.

If it was indeed a rogue cultivator who had passed by and arrived here, he would naturally have to come from the Primordial Chaos Master Realm to the Black River Realm. How could he not know about this? He only said a few words quietly, and then he could see Shen Shi’s previous footing.

However, what exactly was Shen Shi’s secret? To him, it was meaningless. In any case, what he earned was only the spirit crystals for these guests’ accommodation. He was too lazy to care so much about the rest.

Next, he didn’t conceal anything and briefly told Shen Shi about the situation in Duanyue City. When Shen Shi walked to the room that he specifically requested to be clean and undisturbed, he had a rough impression of the Origin Returning Realm, including the Cultivation Realm near Duanyue City, from Boss He’s mouth.

The Origin Returning Realm was not a particularly famous realm amongst the Primordial Chaos Realms. In fact, the Origin Returning Realm was ranked quite a bit lower in terms of fame and popularity in the Primordial Chaos Cultivation Realm. However, the Origin Realm had one advantage, It was that the world soil was relatively peaceful, There weren’t any terrifying demonic beasts that were particularly ferocious and powerful to the point of being heaven-defying, Moreover, the environment in the Realm Earth was quite decent. It was very suitable for humans to live in. After all, it was not a small realm. There were always all sorts of demonic beasts, spirit herbs, spirit mines, and so on in the wilderness. These were all resources that cultivators needed to cultivate. Therefore, there were quite a few cultivators who came to this remote realm.

As for Duanyue City, it was one of the several large cities in the Origin Realm. It was also one of the important gathering points for many cultivators, especially wandering cultivators, who had come to the Origin Realm. Therefore, its popularity in the Origin Realm was quite good. Even the Divine Immortal Society had opened a branch store in the city, which was also a sign of this.

Originally, although there were many cultivators in Broken Moon City, they were mostly rogue cultivators. There weren’t any particularly powerful and prominent forces. Earlier, there were two small cultivation sects here, but their strengths were also ordinary. Although they were still much better than rogue cultivators, they still acted according to the rules. Therefore, in general, the cultivators here in Duanyue City were safe and sound.

However, this situation suddenly changed a year ago. One of the four famous sects in the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World, the Heavenly Sword Palace’s Black Sword Sect, suddenly sent a lot of disciples here and purchased a deed house in the city. It was as if it intended to stay for a long time.

Such a sect, even if it was just a subordinate of the Heavenly Sword Palace, its strength instantly surpassed the local forces of Broken Moon City and instantly upset the original balance here. The two small sects, Naturally, he did not dare to go against the Mysterious Sword Sect, which was far stronger than him and had a huge backer behind it. Thus, he could only silently give up the position of the leader of Broken Moon City. At the same time, he was secretly wondering why a sect like the Mysterious Sword Sect was suddenly interested in Broken Moon City, a place where only rogue cultivators would come to try their luck.

After a long time, the Mysterious Sword Sect had gained a firm foothold in the region. In addition to the usual signs of movement, the clues were gradually known. It turned out that in a Crouching Tiger Mountain west of Broken Moon City, the Mysterious Sword Sect had found a spiritual vein in the depths of that mountain range.

As everyone knew, spiritual veins were a blessed place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered together and condensed into spirit stones. It was also the magical place that all cultivators under the heavens yearned for and dreamed of. However, if one were to naturally produce spirit stones, they would naturally be the foundation of a cultivation sect. It could even be said that practically all cultivation sects in the world, as long as they possessed a certain amount of strength, would possess one large or small spirit vein. Only in this way would one be able to stabilize their foundations and grow stronger. Without a spirit vein as a supporting foundation, it would be equivalent to a rootless tree with no source of water. Perhaps it would flourish for a while because of one or two geniuses, but after a long time, it would not be able to be passed down for a long time.

After all, spirit stones were the foundation of all human cultivations.

Once this news spread, the reason why the Mysterious Sword Sect had come here was naturally self-evident. However, when they received this news, the Mysterious Sword Sect had already occupied Crouching Tiger Mountain and guarded it tightly. It was difficult for outsiders to interfere. The two small local sects and the many wandering cultivators could only regret and sigh.

Only then did Shen Shi finally understand why the people from the Profound Sword Sect appeared in this remote alien world. As for Nangong Ying’s appearance, it clearly had the aura of the Heavenly Sword Palace standing on the ground for the next door. After all, although no one knew the size of a spirit vein other than the Profound Sword Sect, since it could attract the Profound Sword Sect to enter here in large numbers, there must be a lot of benefits.

With this spiritual vein, if he could make good use of it, it might not be of much help to the Heavenly Sword Palace, but in the future, the Profound Sword Sect would grow stronger and even reach a higher level.

Shen Shi sent away the warm and polite Boss He and closed the door. Sure enough, the room quickly quieted down. He glanced at the furnishings in the room. Everything was simple and plain, but he had everything he needed. Obviously, even though Boss He was an ordinary cultivator, he still had a set of skills in doing business. Shen Shi wasn’t dissatisfied with anything.

He walked to the table and sat down. He was still thinking about the news he had just heard. He couldn’t help but be a little more vigilant towards Xuanjian Sect. Although he didn’t have any conflict with Xuanjian Sect and didn’t want to provoke them, Qian Yi’s death seemed to have been quietly hidden in the darkness, causing people to be slightly worried.

I really want to go back to the High Firmament Sect as soon as possible.

As long as we go back, it might be a brand new beginning …

Shen Shi thought quietly in his heart. He had some hopes, but after a while, he took a deep breath and took out the talisman-making materials from his Ruyi bag. He placed them on the table one by one.

Looking at those familiar yellow talismans with a little strangeness, he smiled faintly. In his mind, those Yin Yang Five Elements and ten kinds of talisman patterns that he had painted and practiced countless times since childhood flashed through his mind.

At the same time, Owner He walked all the way back and was about to return to the back of his counter in the lobby of the inn. He continued to calculate the income and expenditure books for this month when he saw a new guest arriving from his clerk in front of him. He looked like a cultivator. He was tall and had a fierce appearance.

At this moment, he heard from the side that although the cultivator had said that he wanted to stay, when he spoke to the clerk, his eyes seemed to be drifting. He kept looking around, and it was as if he was trying to find out if there was another young man living here.

After hearing this, Boss He felt that this person was most likely the young cultivator he had received before. It seemed that the young man really had some secrets on him.

Looking at the tall cultivator who was still chatting with the waiter, Boss He stood behind the counter and slightly narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.
