"Hi, brother."
A slightly sharp voice sounded in her ear. When Lin Muyu turned around, she saw a young man limping over with a crutch in his hand. He was about 25 years old, wearing white linen clothes with several cloth bags hanging on his waist. His face was full of stubble. He probably didn't have time to take care of it, but the light in his eyes told everyone not to underestimate this lame young man. He sat opposite Lin Muyu and said with a smile: "Only if you buy me a drink, I can help you read your face."
"Face?" Lin Muyu smiled faintly: "Man, give him a glass of wine."
"Dang!"
A full glass of barley wine fell in front of the cripple. He didn't rush to drink it. Instead, he took a deep breath and said: "The fragrance of malt wine is really as charming as a girl in the wilderness."
As he said this, he drank a big mouthful of wine. His stubble was stained with wine, which looked very unhygienic.
Lin Muyu didn't care about this. She just smiled and asked: "Now can you tell me? How is my face?"
"You …"
The "huckster" squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Lin Muyu. He said: "Brother, although you are handsome and have an extraordinary appearance, your eyebrows are dark. I am afraid that you will be in big trouble in the next few days."
"If you keep talking, I guarantee that you will be in big trouble now." As a god, Lin Muyu naturally didn't believe in this kind of fortune-telling. In any case, he was also a god who could listen to the prayers of the people. What fortune-telling? Mortals just believed in it.
The killer flashed through Lin Muyu's palm, but the cripple was scared out of his wits. The young man in front of him was obviously not as simple as he looked. The momentum that he emitted was simply suffocating. Maybe he was a young master from the imperial capital who came to this poor place just to travel around the continent. Also, the golden light that flashed through his eyes might be a monster!
"What is your name?" Lin Muyu didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, he began to ask questions. He needed someone to tell him everything about the Tianji Empire and the Celestial Pole Continent.
"Liu … Liu Sanpao, people call me Liu Buyi …" Liu Buyi's entire body was trembling, and his voice was trembling as he said, "This kid can be considered somewhat famous in Clear Desolate City, some people call me Divine Image."
Lin Muyu didn't care about these things. Her expression calmed down a little, and she said with a smile, "Well … Brother Linyi, I've been cultivating in the deep mountains with my family for many years, so I don't know much about the outside world. Can you tell me something about the Tianji Empire and the mainland? I'll treat you to a drink until you're satisfied."
Liu Buyi was taken aback. It had been a long time since someone had been so extravagant as to treat him to a drink. Moreover, looking at the appearance of this kid in front of him, he really did seem to be a rash young man who had just come out from the depths of the mountains to cultivate. In an instant, Liu Buyi's expression became arrogant. He placed one leg on the bench and said arrogantly, "Since that's the case, then little brother, you should listen to your big brother's words! Buddy, give me another jar of wine. I want to drink to my heart's content. "
"Liu Buyi, did you bring enough money?"
"Don't worry, I met a benefactor today!"
A jar of wine was placed firmly in the center of the table. Liu Buyi pulled a drumstick from the roasted chicken and gnawed on it until his mouth was greasy. He said: "Brother, since you have cultivated in the mountains for many years, you must have some skills. However … there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Celestial Pole Continent. Even if you have some skills, you must be careful. Otherwise, you may lose your life because of your rashness one day. This is my first advice to you. Be careful when you encounter problems. Remember, you can't force yourself."
Lin Muyu deeply agreed and nodded: "Yes, and then?"
Liu Buyi wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and continued, "If you want to talk about the Celestial Pole Continent, this continent is really big. If you run at full speed from the west to the eastern border of the continent, it would take as long as two months. Furthermore, there are a total of five powerful and invincible forces on the continent. They are divided into three great empires and two great tribes."
"What do you mean?"
"The three empires are the Tianji Empire, the Celestial Empire, and the Blackstone Empire. They fight every year, but they have never been able to determine the winner in more than 1,000 years. More than 3,000 years ago, there was a supreme overlord who once unified the Celestial Pole Continent, but in less than 100 years, his empire collapsed into three kingdoms. Among the three empires, our Tianji Empire is the strongest. One of the Three Sacred Sects in the cultivation world, the Tianji Sect, is located in our Tianji Empire. In terms of national strength, the Celestial Empire is second, and the Blackstone Empire is the worst, but … we are not too inferior."
"Tell me about the cultivation world. What's the matter with the Three Sacred Sects?" Lin Muyu asked with a frown.
"In fact, it's very simple. It's just like a sect. The continent is divided into several levels according to the strength of the sects. The first is the Sacred Sect, the second is the King Sect, the third is the Heavenly Sect, and the fourth is the Earth Sect. The whole Celestial Pole Continent is divided into three King Sects, which are the Tianji Sect, the Tianjue Sect, and the Thunder Flame Sect. Next are the Seven Great Sects, 59 Heavenly Sects, and more than 3,000 Earth Sects. Some of these sects have only a few people, while some have tens of thousands of people. It's impossible to count them in detail. It's also because these sects constantly provide excellent martial artists for the various empires that the cultivation world of the Celestial Pole Continent can continue to prosper and even be protected by the Immortal Realm."
"Protected by the Immortal Realm?" Lin Muyu frowned. "What does that mean?"
Liu Buyi smiled. "I'm not very clear about these supernatural things, although I can see through the mysteries of heaven and know about Yin and Yang …"
"Stop bragging. It's too serious."
"Cough, cough …" Liu Buyi could also see that Lin Muyu was not an ordinary person. He smiled and said, "The people of the Celestial Pole Continent have passed down legends from generation to generation. It's said that the Immortal Realm once sent gods down to the mortal world to teach the people of the continent how to make fire from wood and how to farm, fish, and weave. Then, they imparted martial arts to some people with aptitude, allowing humans to establish a foothold in this world filled with ferocious beasts and demonic spirits and become the rulers."
"Farm, fish, and weave?" Lin Muyu looked at the clothes of the people around him. Most of them were wearing cloth clothes, and a small number of mercenaries were wearing coarse hemp clothes. In terms of weaving skills, the Celestial Pole Continent was far inferior to the Shattered Cauldron Realm. He smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Liu Buyi didn't see any clues and continued to speak eloquently, "Next, let's talk about our Tianji Empire. The Tianji Empire ranks second in terms of territory, but in terms of population, prosperity of commerce, and strength of military force, it is deservedly number one. His Majesty is wise and mighty, and his power is everywhere. Crown Prince Hai has extraordinary cultivation and will be the future leader of the empire. Together with the invincible commander, Beiming Huan, it's enough for the Tianji Empire to stand tall in the northwest of the continent and be called an overlord."
"By the way, you just said that there are demonic spirits in the Celestial Pole Continent. What's going on?"
"You actually don't know about demonic spirits?"
Liu Buyi turned pale with fright and said, "I really don't know what your master taught you. If a cultivator doesn't hunt demonic spirits, how can he prove his strength?"
"What exactly is a demonic spirit?" Lin Muyu asked a little awkwardly.
Liu Buyi stroked his beard and said, "The essence of a demonic spirit is a kind of monster. A demonic spirit with high cultivation can change into a human form and take human lives. There are many demonic spirits in the Celestial Pole Continent, and they are also the targets of various forces. However, demonic spirits are too strong, and many times, the cultivators are hunted down instead. In short … when you meet a demonic spirit, you must be careful."
As he spoke, Liu Buyi's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Demonic spirits are divided into ten grades, from the lowest grade of tenth to the strongest grade of first grade. The first grade is called the Demon Emperor, the second grade is called the Demon King, and the third grade is called the Demon Venerable. Little brother, if you meet one of the first three grades of demonic spirit … no matter how profound your cultivation is, listen to me and run for your life. If you're lucky, you can marry a wife and have children. Otherwise … I'm afraid you'll die without a burial place."
"Why will I die without a burial place?"
Liu Buyi smiled. "It's very simple. Low-grade demonic spirits like to devour human flesh and blood, completely devouring the human. High-grade demonic spirits are even more cruel. They know how to refine and absorb the essence from the human body. In the end, you will be turned into ashes. It is said that the souls of those who are eaten by the Demon Emperor and Demon King will be eaten as well."
Lin Muyu was stunned and didn't say anything.
Liu Buyi thought that he was afraid and smiled. "However, little brother, you don't have to worry. Demonic spirits like to live in remote places. Generally speaking, a city like the one we are in right now has a population of over a hundred thousand. Most of the time, demonic spirits won't come here. If there are too many people, the demonic spirits will also feel afraid. Besides, every province in the empire has Lord Dragon Rider patrolling. If a demonic spirit appears in a city with a population of over a hundred thousand, it will be hunted down. We just have to focus on farming, fishing, and hunting."
"Dragon Rider?" Lin Muyu was slightly stunned. Her mind recalled the huge dragon on the warship she saw on the sea surface.
"That's right."
Liu Buyi chuckled and said, "They are known as the most powerful army in the Celestial Pole Continent, the Dragon Riders. Every empire has trained a sufficient number of Dragon Riders to deal with the upcoming war. The Tianji Empire's Dragon Rider Legion is very prosperous. During peaceful times, their main mission is to hunt demonic spirits everywhere. Although I have never seen a Dragon Rider, … the prestige of the Dragon Riders is known by everyone in the Celestial Pole Continent."
As he spoke, Liu Buyi looked at Lin Muyu as if he was looking at a freak and said, "You are really strange. You don't even know about the Dragon Rider Legion. I really don't know how you grew up."
Lin Muyu smiled. She felt that she had more or less understood everything, so she took out a Jinxin coin from her pocket. She gently rubbed it between her palms, and the Jinxin coin immediately turned into a piece of gold. She tossed it to Liu Buyi and said, "Here, thank you for telling me so much. I don't have anything to thank you for. This Jinxin … Oh, I mean, gold, take it as a token of appreciation!"
"Gold?"
Liu Buyi's eyes instantly lit up. He put it in his mouth and took a bite. He was ecstatic. "It really is gold. Little brother, you are indeed not an ordinary person. Haha, thank you, thank you so much."
…
Just as Lin Muyu stood up and was about to leave, an invisible force suddenly descended from the sky. The entire tavern immediately fell silent. Everyone was already unable to move.
A cold voice came from outside. "The Tianji Dragon Rider Legion is here on a spirit hunting mission. Those unrelated to this matter, scram immediately!"
"Demonic spirit …" Lin Muyu's heart skipped a beat.
However, Liu Buyi's face was already pale. "It's over. We encountered a demonic spirit …"
