After entering the city, Fang Xing went straight to the west side of the city.
He found out from this disciple that Sea Demon City occupied a vast area of ten thousand miles. With such a huge city, even the Hundred Beasts Sect would find it hard to manage it. In addition, sects, merchants, and rogue cultivators from all over the place gathered in the city. They fought fiercely and were entangled with grudges. Some things couldn't be resolved, causing the order in the city to be somewhat chaotic.
The city was divided into five cities. The middle city was where the Hundred Beasts Sect was founded and was the safest. The other four cities, the east, south, west, and north, were filled with people from all walks of life. Among the four cities, the west city was the most chaotic place. Murders and robberies happened frequently. The Hundred Beasts Sect turned a blind eye to this and allowed them to do as they pleased. As long as they didn't harm their interests, it was fine.
However, Fang Xing also understood that although the west city was chaotic, there were benefits to it.
The place where people from all walks of life gathered had the most information, but it was a good place to gather information.
Inside Sea Demon City, the buildings were tall and strict, but it was obviously dirty and messy. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of pill shops, weapon shops, restaurants, inns, and even shops that sold books and techniques could be found. There were even brothels, casinos, and other places. Compared to the Blue Cloud Sect, which mainly focused on cultivation, it was a bit more secular. Most of the people walking in the city were cultivators dressed in different clothes, and mortals were rarely seen.
However, Fang Xing carefully observed and found that the cultivators in Sea Demon City were at most around the fifth or sixth layer of spirit movement. Late stage Spirit movement cultivators like him were already very rare. Foundation establishment realm cultivators were nowhere to be seen.
This was normal. The Hundred Beasts Sect mainly dealt in exotic birds and monster cores. Those who could use them were mostly Spirit Movement realm cultivators.
After walking one round on the street, Fang Xing found a slightly better looking restaurant and went in. He ordered a table of food and wine to slowly eat and drink. At the same time, he paid attention to the people around him. Soon, a rather coarse looking bearded man attracted his attention. This person was at the sixth layer of spirit movement and had an evil aura around him. He was talking loudly with his two companions while drinking.
Fang Xing listened for a while and quickly learned that this person had a cousin who was an inner disciple of the Hundred Beasts Sect. He seemed to have a lot of information about the Hundred Beasts Sect. His identity was also respected by the other two. However, the way they looked at others was like how wolves look at fat sheep. They didn't hide the greed in their eyes at all. With one look, it was obvious that they were in the same line as Fang Xing.
"It's him!"
Fang Xing secretly made a decision and shouted, "Waiter, I'm done eating, I'll pay up!"
As he said that, he threw a bulging storage bag on the table and lazily took out a mid-grade spirit stone to pay the bill. At the same time, he shouted, "Damn, the food and wine here are not bad. You can have the extra!"
When he said that, it immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
The Sea Demon City was already considered a city of cultivators, and the currency used here was spirit stones. The restaurants sold demonic beast meat and spirit wine, which were very expensive. However, no matter how expensive it was, this meal only cost 20 low-grade spirit stones. Yet, Fang Xing directly tossed out a mid-grade spirit stone, which was worth five times the price of this meal, and he even said that he didn't need to keep the change. Instantly, his hedonistic attitude was completely revealed.
Seeing that others were looking at him, Fang Xing fiercely glared at them and shouted, "What are you looking at? Want to fight? "
As he said that, he released a trace of Qi and looked at the crowd proudly.
But this time, he controlled the release of Qi and purposely suppressed it to a very weak level.
"Pfft, a fucking fourth layer spirit formation cultivator dares to be so arrogant!"
In the restaurant, several people sneered and looked at Fang Xing. They felt that this little bastard was simply courting death.
Sea Demon City had all sorts of people, fish and dragons mixed together.
It was not rare to see arrogant people, but it was very rare to see someone with such a high cultivation still so arrogant …
Fang Xing was very proud of himself. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to think that he had scared the crowd. He picked up the storage bag and swaggered out. When he reached the street, he wasn't in a hurry to return to the inn. Instead, he wandered left and right. Intentionally or unintentionally, he slowly walked into a deep alley. Seeing that there weren't any shops here, he turned around and walked out.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded, "Fellow cultivator, please wait. May I know how to address you?"
The entrance of the alley was blocked by three tall figures. The one leading was the bearded man who sneered.
"Eh, big brother, what can I do for you?"
Fang Xing looked around and asked with a smile.
"Haha, so it's a newbie …"
The bearded man laughed and walked forward with his hands behind his back. "I don't have any other business with you. I see that you have quite a lot of money. Coincidentally, I'm a bit short on money, so I want to borrow some spirit stones from you …"
The two people behind him also sneered and followed.
Big Beard and the other two originally relied on slaughtering rogue cultivators who came to the Sea Demon City to buy beast cores to make a living. They naturally didn't dare to provoke those from the major sects and clans. However, those people all stayed in the middle city, so they wouldn't come to this shabby western city. Those who came to the western city were usually rogue cultivators with no money or background. Today, they met one, so it was like a fat sheep.
But they didn't expect that this fat sheep who looked quite likable, after hearing the bearded man's words, laughed and said, "Borrow money? Simple. Come, come, come over here. I'll slowly reward you … "
When the bearded man heard this, he felt that something was wrong. After living on the edge of a knife for so long, he had some sensitivity towards danger.
This seemingly easy to capture fat sheep seemed to have a strange reaction. Not only was he not afraid, but he was also excited …
This made him have a bad premonition and subconsciously wanted to retreat.
However, at this moment, the seemingly harmless young man suddenly opened his palm and a strong gravitational force pulled him and his two companions over. With his spirit formation sixth layer cultivation, under this force, he couldn't resist at all.
"Swoosh swoosh …"
The young man restrained the troops, and a flying sword immediately slid out from his sleeve, streaking across the air like a frost scar.
Two streams of blood splattered. The bearded man's two companions had blood on their throats and their eyes were wide open. In an instant, they lost their lives.
The bearded man's eyes widened and he struggled with all his might. At this moment, he already knew that this young man wasn't a good person. He wanted to call for help, but under the powerful gravitational force, he couldn't even make a sound.
"I'll reward you with a candy first!"
Fang Xing laughed and pinched the bearded man's chin. He stuffed a dan into the bearded man's mouth and retracted the gravitational force.
The bearded man only felt his body loosening and he fell to the ground. He immediately let out a muffled roar and dug his throat.
At this moment, he was scared out of his wits. His two spirit formation fourth layer subordinates were actually killed by this young man without even blinking. This immediately made him understand that he had made a mistake in finding this fat sheep today. This was simply a wolf in sheep's clothing. Plus, he didn't know what was in his stomach, but he knew it wasn't anything good, so he hurriedly spat it out.
"I won't be able to spit it out. That dan is called Mother and Child Devouring Heart Dan. There are two Mother and Child Devouring Heart Dan. You ate the Child Devouring Heart Dan, and I have the Mother Devouring Heart Dan in my hand. If I crush the Mother Devouring Heart Dan, the Child Devouring Heart Dan will sense it and awaken from your stomach. It will devour your blood and flesh. Furthermore, it likes to eat human brains the most. I reckon the first thing it will do when it awakens will be to drill into your brain and drink the marrow … …"
Fang Xing's voice sounded. In his hand, he was playing with a waxy yellow dan.
This Gu was a dan he obtained from Qing Niao in Vermilion Cloud Valley. It was specially refined to control people. It could be considered a rather sinister thing. There were a total of seven pairs. Previously, he couldn't tell that the sanctimonious Qing Niao would have such a thing.
However, this kind of thing suited his appetite. It was very convenient to use it to do things.
The man's face was pale. He tried to put up a strong front and said, "You … … you dare harm me? My cousin is … … "
Fang Xing said, "An inner disciple of the Hundred Beasts Sect, right? If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have come to you. I heard you bragging a lot just now. It seems that you know a lot of information. I'll give you a chance now. Answer a few questions of mine. If you answer well, I'll help you neutralize the poison in this dan. I'll even reward you. If you don't answer well, I'll chop you up and feed you to my big eagle! "
The Golden Crow, who had transformed into a big eagle with mixed feathers, glared at him with dissatisfaction and muttered, "I don't eat it raw!"
The man heard that Fang Xing's tone didn't seem to be fake. In addition, his intestines began to hurt faintly, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He didn't dare to think of any tricks at the moment. He endured the pain and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Fang Xing said lightly, "During this time, did someone from the Hundred Beasts Sect bring back a person from the Chu Region?"
He paused for a second and added, "If you dare to say you don't know, I'll kill you and ask someone else!"
The man was shocked and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, this matter is not a secret. It's already spread in the Hundred Beasts Sect. Two days ago, Elder Moye brought back a man from the outside world. It's said that he's a genius. He's a good seedling for cultivating the Steel Mane Spirit Form. He's already one of the top three candidates for cultivating the Steel Mane Spirit Form. This matter has caused an uproar in the Hundred Beasts Sect. You'll know once you ask … …"
Seeing that what he said matched up with what Golden Crow had told him, Fang Xing knew that this man wasn't lying.
He sneered again and said, "Then where is he now? Does the Hundred Beasts Sect plan to kill him? "
The man said, "I … … when I invited my cousin for a drink yesterday, he mentioned … … that this person has a distinguished status and has already been accepted into the Inner Sect. Elder Moye wants to recommend him to be the inheritor of the Steel Mane Demon Spirit, but … … but the other two candidates for the Steel Mane Demon Spirit Form … … are very dissatisfied with him. The Patriarch hasn't given an answer yet … … He's still considering … …"
"Oh … … I thought that damn fatty had soared to the sky. Looks like it's going to be troublesome … …"
Fang Xing muttered and looked coldly at the burly man. He said, "I have an opportunity for you, but whether you're smart enough or not depends on you. To tell you the truth, I'm good friends with that person, and I'm here to confirm his safety. If you're willing to help me scout for information, after I've confirmed his safety, not only will I pluck out your Gu Insect, but I'll also reward you with this item …"
As he spoke, he flipped his palm and a light yellow pill appeared. The fragrance of the pill assailed his nostrils.
"Rank … Rank Breakthrough Pill?"
The man's eyes widened and he swallowed. His expression seemed like he wanted to snatch the pill from Fang Xing's palm.
