The moon was hanging high in the sky, and the wind was blowing fiercely.
The night in the Great Devil Grassland was always bleak. Within a radius of thousands of miles, there were barely any signs of human life. Instead, there were countless demonic beasts roaring everywhere.
This time, Ye Chen's first stop was the Thousand Thread Nation, which was located in the northeast of the Windy Nation. He would have to cross the Great Devil Grassland to get there, otherwise, he would have to take a long detour.
Not far away, a house-sized boulder was blocking the wind. Behind the boulder, there was a flickering bonfire, bringing a sense of security to this bleak night.
Wiping the grease off his mouth, Ye Chen leaned against the boulder and murmured to himself, "Grassland wild boar tastes good, I can even eat it without seasoning."
Grassland wild boars were of a very low rank, only Rank 1 demonic beasts. In the Great Devil Grassland, they were definitely at the bottom of the food chain, and were the food for most of the other demonic beasts. However, the wild boars were extremely fertile. A female wild boar could give birth to dozens of baby wild boars, and they could even reproduce the next year. Since the ancient times, they had been the largest group of demonic beasts in the Great Devil Grassland. If it weren't for the hunting of humans and demonic beasts, the entire Great Devil Grassland would have been plagued by wild boars.
Ye Chen poked the bonfire with the fire stick in his hand, making it burn even brighter.
Ye Chen sat down with his legs crossed and started his daily training.
The first and second stages of the Great Mystery Art were the basics of the basics. Only by building a solid foundation could one start on the third stage. The third stage focused on condensing Zhen Qi, and the quality of the Zhen Qi would not be any weaker than the Zhen Qi trained with a high-rank Mortal Realm art. After reaching the fourth stage, the quality of the Zhen Qi would be improved to the next level. At the fifth stage, the quality of the Zhen Qi would be even better than the Pure Jun Zhen Qi, and its color would gradually turn into a light blue color.
As the Zhen Qi completed one big cycle after another, there was not much Pure Jun Zhen Qi left inside Ye Chen's body. The Great Mystery Zhen Qi took up more than ninety percent of his Zhen Qi spiral.
"When the rest of the Pure Jun Zhen Qi turns into the Great Mystery Zhen Qi, I will be able to reach the sixth stage of the Great Mystery Art. By then, the quality and quantity of the Zhen Qi will both be greater than the original Pure Jun Zhen Qi, and my overall power will be even greater."
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Ye Chen increased the speed of his Zhen Qi circulation.
Hu hu hu hu …
The strong wind whistled, blowing the grass on the grassland to the ground, unable to stand up straight.
The faint sound of footsteps rang out along with the wind. Two scarlet lights slowly approached from afar, gradually approaching Ye Chen's location.
Under the dim moonlight, one could see that the scarlet light was the eyes of the demon beast. It was a huge cyan wolf the size of a buffalo. Its fluffy fur was like a burning cyan flame, bouncing in the wind. Its blood-red eyes were emotionless, staring at the bonfire behind the boulder.
Fourth level demonic beast, Blue Fire Wolf!
One hundred meters!
Sixty meters!
Thirty meters!
At this time, the Blue Fire Wolf could already see Ye Chen's side profile. Seeing that he was meditating and cultivating, a cruel glint flashed across its eyes.
Whoosh!
The Blue Fire Wolf lowered its body and leapt up.
The next moment!
Its claws were less than three feet away from Ye Chen. If it took one more step, it would be able to tear Ye Chen into pieces and enjoy the delicious flesh and blood.
Without opening his eyes, Ye Chen made a fist with his left hand. Without any fancy moves, the Blue Fire Wolf was blasted hundreds of meters away, and its body flipped dozens of times in the air.
Boom!
Its body fell heavily on the ground, and the Blue Fire Wolf's forehead exploded. Red and white blood flowed all over the ground, and soon, it stopped breathing.
Under the cover of the night, some demonic beasts that were eyeing Ye Chen like tigers whimpered, turned around and ran. That human was too scary. The Blue Fire Wolf, which was definitely one of the best among them, could not even take one punch from him. Its head exploded, and it died miserably.
…
…
The Gale City was the only city on the Devil Prairie. Its area was not any smaller than the biggest city in the northwest, the Forgotten City. It was more than fifty miles in length and width, and had a population of more than fifteen million. Among them, one third were migrant workers, who made a living by selling demonic beast materials.
"Sigh, we lost big this time. We failed to capture the demonic horse, and five of our members were killed by the rank 4 demonic beast, the Blue Fire Wolf."
"Who knew that the demonic horse would run into the territory of the Blue Fire Wolf. We were lucky to make it back. Poor Song Tao, it was his first time hunting with us."
"Since they are dead, send some money to their families. Especially Song Tao's new wife, give her double the money."
"Of course!"
Hearing the sighs of these warriors, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'People say that warriors in the Gale City earn money fast, but they also lose their lives fast!'
From afar, Ye Chen could see the magnificent Gale City. He pressed the edge of his bamboo hat, and quickened his pace.
Not long after.
Ye Chen arrived at the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city were all tall and strong, their temples were bulging, and their eyes were shining with a sharp light, which could make people shiver. Obviously, they were Mortal Realm Stage 10 warriors, and the leaders of the soldiers were even Early Condensing Reality Realm warriors.
If that was all, it would not be a big deal, but with Ye Chen's perception, he could clearly sense that there were Clasping Yuan Realm warriors in the blockhouses on the city wall.
"Such a strong defense, no wonder it could stand in the middle of the Devil Prairie without being attacked by demonic beasts for thousands of years!"
Ye Chen was shocked.
A few captains patrolled the city gate, and said loudly, "Five silvers per person, whoever dares to sneak in, not only will they be fined ten times the entrance fee, they will also be imprisoned for ten days. Don't do anything that you will regret, there is no medicine for regret in this world."
"Five silvers? So expensive."
Ye Chen remembered that the Windy City only needed fifty copper coins, and the Happy City only needed one silver. He did not expect that the Gale City actually needed five silvers, it was simply unbelievable.
However, when he saw that all the people entering the city were martial artists, Ye Chen was relieved. A martial artist could earn more than fifty silvers by killing a rank 1 beast, three or four hundred silvers by killing a rank 2 beast, and one or two thousand silvers by killing a rank 3 beast. Five silvers was just a small amount.
Taking out a five silvers piece from his pocket, Ye Chen entered the Gale City.
"Captain, is it him?"
A captain looked at Ye Chen's back, and whispered into the captain's ear.
The captain nodded, "Although he is wearing a bamboo hat, his body is exactly the same as the one in the portrait, we have killed him before."
"Hehe, that man said that he would give us one hundred thousand gold and one hundred low-rank soul stones after this, then our hard work these days will be worth it."
"One hundred low-rank soul stones, you get thirty percent, and I get seventy percent, do you have any objections?"
"How could I have any objections, without you, captain, this task would not be mine."
"That's good, you send a few punks to keep an eye on him, don't let him run out of sight, I will go inform the other party now, and get the gold and low-rank soul stones."
"Okay."
…
Walking on the street, Ye Chen looked up and around. Overall, the Gale City was not as luxurious as the Happy City, the structure of the buildings was mainly solid, looking both magnificent and practical. Of course, not all the buildings were like this, in the distance, there were restaurants rising from the ground, four to five stories high, five to six stories high, looking majestic, and some places were even inlaid with precious metals.
"I am tired of eating barbecue every day, let's go in and sit, and take a bath."
Feeling relaxed, Ye Chen walked to the nearest luxury restaurant.
"Sir, how many?" The waiter bowed and said respectfully.
Ye Chen threw a ten silver piece to the waiter, and said lightly, "Just one, give me a first-class room, and prepare hot water."
"Okay, this way please."
The waiter put the money into his pocket, and happily led Ye Chen upstairs.
This was a very spacious guest room, there was a living room full of landscape paintings, a comfortable bedroom, and a bathroom for bathing.
In the middle of the bathroom was a small pool, filled with hot water, and the steam slowly rose, making everything hazy.
Taking off his clothes, Ye Chen jumped into the pool, and immediately let out a comfortable moan.
Lying on the back of the pool, Ye Chen said leisurely, "It's so good to be rich. In the other world, although I was a student at a famous university, I was still an orphan. I had to work during the summer and winter holidays, and the money I earned was not even enough for my monthly living expenses. I didn't even dare to have a girlfriend, because I was afraid of spending money. But here, the gold I have is enough for me to live for a few lifetimes. If I sell my valuable things, I would be richer than the ten corrupt officials of the Windy Nation combined."
Before his soul traveled to this world, Ye Chen was very envious of the martial artists in the martial arts novels. They all drank and ate, and spent money like water. They never had to worry about not having enough money, and when they ran out of money, they could just go out and do some business, and they could earn more money than an ordinary person could earn in ten lifetimes. Then, they could continue to practice their martial arts.
Now, his dream had come true, and he was even more carefree than those so-called martial artists, and he was even more powerful than them. He could casually kill a level five or level six demon beast, and he could earn tens of thousands of silvers. It was okay if he didn't want to kill demon beasts, because the gold he had was enough for him to use for a long time, and the low rank and mid rank soul stones were not included.
While thinking, Ye Chen closed his eyes, and fell into a ninety percent deep sleep. The remaining ten percent of consciousness was hidden deep in his mind, and if someone entered the room, he would be able to sense it immediately.
In another private room of a restaurant.
A middle-aged man with a scar on his face was sitting on a comfortable leather chair, drinking wine. It was the Purple Sun Martial School's intelligence master, Zhu Lieyang.
Bang bang bang!
Someone knocked on the door of the private room.
Zhu Lieyang said with a cold voice, "Come in."
The door opened, and the captain of the soldiers walked in with a bow, "The person you want us to pay attention to has arrived in the Gale city, and is currently in the Great Jin Hua Restaurant. Look, gold and soul stones."
"Gold and soul stones will be yours, keep watching."
"But, didn't you say that you would give it to us once the good guy arrived?"
Zhu Lieyang's eyes were like knives, he glanced at the captain's face, "Are you afraid that I won't give it to you? A hundred thousand gold and a hundred low rank soul stones are nothing to me. On the other hand, if you let that brat escape, not only will you not get a single cent, I will also take your life. "
"Yes, yes!"
The captain of the soldiers was a peak Early Condensing Reality Realm warrior, but under Zhu Lieyang's stare, he was sweating profusely, and his legs were shaking.
"Alright, you can leave now."
Waiting until the captain left, Zhu Lieyang grinned, 'Ye Chen, you didn't expect that we have a spy in the Sky Cloud Martial School, did you? We will know once you leave. Let's see where you can run to this time. '
