Great Qin Nation, Dongming Province, Sishui Prefecture, White Water City, Within a restaurant:
"Have you heard? Something big happened in Hunluo Province's Qizi County."
On the second floor, a cultivator wearing coarse robes spoke to his four companions. He had a rough appearance and thick eyebrows, giving him a heroic air.
This restaurant was called Liushang Pavilion. It was the largest restaurant in White Water City. There was a total of five floors. The higher one went, the more silver one would have to spend.
After reaching the third floor, if one wanted to go up, aside from needing a large amount of silver, one would also need a noble status. Even if one had money, one would not be able to go up.
As for the fifth floor of Liushang Pavilion, it was a legendary existence. It only entertained guests of the same level as the White Water City Lord. Normally, it would not be open for business.
Most of the commoners would eat on the first floor, but most cultivators would choose to eat on the second floor. Due to the proximity of Savage Forest, there were many cultivators in White Water City. Hence, the second floor of Liushang Pavilion had the highest flow of people.
When the companion beside him heard this, he said out of curiosity, "I've heard of this before. In Qizi County, there was a youth who killed ten Martial Saints and two hundred Martial Grand Masters in one day."
Another cultivator said, "Why did I hear that it was fifty Martial Saints and five hundred Martial Saints?"
When a youth sitting by the window on the second floor heard this, he spat out all the wine he was drinking. He muttered to himself, Rumors, ah, rumors. If this continues, will I be able to kill a Martial King with one slap?
The youth wiped the water off his mouth and picked up a piece of wood and a carving knife from the table. He started to focus on carving. The sunlight shone through the window and shone on the youth's distinct face, giving it a faint golden glow.
The youth's expression was extremely serious and meticulous. It was as though what he was holding was not a piece of wood but a rare treasure. He appeared solemn and respectful. His focused state of mind gave him a certain charm.
Beside the young man, there was a snow-white spirit fox. It looked extremely adorable and was excitedly eating a bowl of fish porridge. Not long after, it finished the porridge.
It carefully ran to the table, holding the empty porcelain bowl in its mouth, and gently patted the young man's right arm with its right paw.
The young man stopped what he was doing and looked at the Spirit Fox. He realized that it was looking at him pitifully. Its big, watery eyes were filled with tears, and its other paw was pointing at the empty porcelain bowl.
Seeing its behavior, the young man smiled faintly, "Bai, oh Bai, you're really a glutton."
"Waiter, give me another bowl of fish roe meat porridge. Give me a big bowl," the young man called out loudly.
Not long after, the waiter rushed over with a big bowl of fish porridge. Although his movements were fast, his hands and feet were very steady. It was obvious that this waiter had a certain level of cultivation.
Dang!
The meat porridge landed firmly on the table, not a single drop spilled out. The waiter smiled and said, "The fish porridge is here. If you have any requests, please let us know."
The young man waved his hand and left behind a silver ingot as a tip. The waiter received it happily and gave his thanks before leaving quickly.
When the Spirit Fox saw the meat porridge was served, its pitiful expression immediately disappeared. It was replaced with a joyful expression as it rushed towards the meat porridge, completely forgetting about the existence of the young man.
The young man scolded jokingly, "Now that there's food, it immediately forgets about its master." After he spoke, he did not mind and continued to focus on carving the wooden sculpture in his hands.
This young man was Mohe City's Xiao Chen. After he left the Xiao Clan, he was prepared to rush to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. He wanted to become a disciple of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion and awaken Ao Jiao from the Lunar Shadow Saber.
However, after he left the Xiao Clan, he discovered that the world was too big. Even the Great Qin Nation was bigger than he imagined.
In the Great Qin Nation, aside from the Imperial Capital and the Royal Residence in the north, there were also the Dongming Province, Xihe Province, and Nanling Province. Each province governed three prefectures, and each prefecture had seven counties. Furthermore, the area of each prefecture was half the size of the land of Xiao Chen's previous life. It was easy to imagine how big the Great Qin Nation was.
The Mohe City that Xiao Chen was in was just an extremely ordinary small city. Above it were the Qizi County, the Hunluo Province, and the Dongming Province.
The Heavenly Saber Pavilion was located in the Xihe Province. One was in the east while the other was in the west. They were separated by several tens of thousands of kilometers. Xiao Chen had already been out for two months. Along the way, he found out that the Heavenly Saber Pavilion would conduct a unified entrance test every October.
The requirements for the test were very strict. Xiao Chen calculated the time; it was currently July. There were still three months before the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's entrance test.
Hence, he planned to undergo experiential training for three months before going to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. This was to prevent himself from being eliminated and having to wait until the next October to take the test again.
This White Water City was one of the prefectures of the Sishui Province. It was located at the edge of the Dongming Province. After leaving the city, it would be the holy land of experiential training, Savage Forest. It was also relatively close to the Xihe Province. Hence, Xiao Chen chose this White Water City as his experiential training location.
"Tong! Tong! Tong! "
Footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs of the second floor. A group of people walked up to the second floor, chatting and laughing. After that, they continued to the third floor.
When the cultivators on the second floor saw who it was, they all stopped talking. The previously noisy floor instantly became very quiet. Everyone lowered their heads and quietly ate their food.
Among the group of people, there was a handsome man dressed in embroidered clothes. He was very satisfied with the scene on the second floor. He said something to a girl beside him in a low voice.
The girl did not have any expression on her face. She politely replied to the other party's words and did not express any preference. Just at this moment, her eyes lit up. She saw Xiao Chen sitting by the window and the Spirit Fox beside him.
She stopped walking with interest. The color in her eyes became more and more intense. She slowly walked towards Xiao Chen's table. Her steps were light and graceful.
"Friend, are you selling this Spirit Beast?" The girl observed the Spirit Fox for a long time. Finally, she could not help but ask. Her voice was clear and melodious. It was very pleasant to listen to, and one could not help but want to agree to her request.
Xiao Chen had noticed this group of people long ago. He raised his head and looked at the girl carefully. He praised her in his heart. This girl was dressed in a green dress. Her facial features were picturesque. She had white teeth and bright eyes. She had an apricot face and peach cheeks. Coupled with her exquisite green dress, she gave off a refreshing feeling of a fairy.
However, Xiao Chen had seen many beauties before. The elegant Feng Feixue, who was like a fairy at dawn, the gentle and moving Xiao Yulan, who was as pure as ice and as clean as jade, were not inferior to this girl. As for the absolute beauty, the devastatingly beautiful Yue Ying, there was no need to even compare.
Xiao Chen quickly withdrew his gaze from the girl. He said indifferently, "If you really understood, you would not have said anything about selling or not selling. You may leave."
The girl's heart trembled. She thought that Xiao Chen might reject her. However, she did not expect him to reject her so directly, not giving her any face at all.
She was stunned for a moment before she smiled apologetically, "I was indeed rude. I underestimated the relationship between brother and this Spirit Beast. However, does brother really not have any intention of selling it? As long as you tell me what you want, I will definitely think of a way to exchange it. "
What big words! Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart. This girl was obviously not simple. She could tell that Bai's bloodline was the descendant of a Six-Tailed Spirit Fox.
It was a natural Rank 6 Spirit Beast. Once it matured, it would become a strong Martial King expert. In Dongming Province, Martial King experts were people that the big clans would do their best to rope in.
In fact, in the eyes of some people, the number of Martial Kings in a clan was a direct indicator of how strong the clan was.
Xiao Chen guessed that she must have seen that he was only a Superior Grade Martial Disciple. Hence, she thought that he had obtained this Spirit Fox by chance and did not know its value. She wanted to take advantage of it.
After thinking this through, Xiao Chen put down the wooden sculpture in his hand. He had a radiant smile on his face as he said, "Do you mean what you say? As long as I say it, you will be able to do it?"
When the girl saw that Xiao Chen's tone had softened, she rejoiced in her heart. She smiled and said, "Of course I will. As long as you say it, I will definitely be able to do it."
Her tone was a little arrogant. However, she felt that Xiao Chen was just a mere Superior Grade Martial Disciple. His standards would not be very high. With the strength of her clan, they would definitely be able to satisfy Xiao Chen's needs.
Xiao Chen's face was filled with sincerity. He said in an extremely serious tone, "Then give me a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon! How about it? It's a fair trade, neither party will suffer a loss. "
The girl's expression turned cold. She knew that Xiao Chen was making fun of her. She looked at Xiao Chen meaningfully and did not say anything as she slowly retreated.
"Brat, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. It is your fortune that Miss Duanmu wants to buy something from you. Yet, you still dare to speak such arrogant words. Are you seeking death?" behind the man in embroidered clothes, a person dressed like a servant said to Xiao Chen fiercely.
When the girl heard these words, she frowned slightly. It was clear that she was unhappy. The man in embroidered clothes knew that his servant's bootlicking had gone too far. He quickly stopped him.
He turned his head and said to Xiao Chen, "I am Jiang Muheng. If you change your mind, you can come to the Jiang Clan to look for me at any time."
"Miss Duanmu, let's go up first. Young Master Hua and the others are still waiting for us on the fourth floor."
The group of people left Xiao Chen's dining table and headed for the fourth floor. Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense and slowly followed the footsteps of this group of people.
"When you go back, check on that brat's background. If he does not have any background, then snatch the Spirit Fox for me. It is rare to see something that Miss Duanmu likes."
"Young Master, can I kill someone?"
"Up to you. However, you have to handle this matter beautifully. I do not want Miss Duanmu to have any doubts."
"I know. Young Master, just wait for me tomorrow morning. I can squash a Superior Grade Martial Cultivator to death with one hand."
When this group of people went up to the fourth floor, Jiang Muheng immediately pulled his servant to a corner and told him his plan. However, he did not expect that Xiao Chen had already noticed that he was not telling the truth. Xiao Chen recorded everything he said with his Spiritual Sense.
