In the Demon Realm, Red Sparrow City was a demon cultivator city located at the border of the Lightning Python Race's territory, while the Tian Peng Race controlled territory on the other side. This could be considered a trade town where the two races didn't interfere with each other. Both races had set up branches here, and there were private transactions between them.
After all, the current demon race was no longer as divided as it was ten thousand years ago. Ever since the Grand Ascension Stage demon god went into seclusion, the entire Demon Realm had been ruled by Body Integration Stage demon sages.
After ten thousand years of conflict, all of the demon races realized that they couldn't continue like this. Thus, all of the demon sages gathered to discuss the division of their respective territories. As a result, the Demon Realm entered a period of relative stability. Although the major demon races didn't openly oppose each other, there were many underhanded actions taking place in the dark.
Generally speaking, the most they could do was control disputes between grade eight demon beasts, and they generally wouldn't involve demon sages.
The great demon guarding Red Sparrow City was a Level Eight Shapeshifting Wolf Demon. Its cultivation level was on par with a Spirit Cultivator in the Spirit Severing Stage, but the demon race's innate ability could suppress a human Spirit Cultivator of the same level.
Under the suppression of this wolf demon, Red Sparrow City had been peaceful for close to 1,000 years. There were even many cultivators from other realms who came here to exchange for treasures unique to this realm.
Speaking of which, the body of a cultivator was full of treasures that could be used to refine spirit tools or concoct pills. However, taking treasures from demon beasts would violate the Demon Realm's taboo, but all of the sects and clans would have a large stockpile of treasures.
In addition, some of the demon races would secretly deal with the other side's people. Thus, Red Sparrow City became the paradise of the underground black market, allowing the foreign race cultivators to trade as much as they wanted. As long as they didn't offend the big shots of the demon race, there was no problem.
However, two uninvited guests had come to Red Sparrow City on this day. One of them was a human spirit cultivator whose cultivation base couldn't be determined, while the other was a burly man in a cloak. This burly man was none other than Xiong Erbao, who had taken on a human form after undergoing the baptism of the metamorphosis stage lightning tribulation. The cloak he was wearing was something that Yi Tian had insisted on.
With his current cultivation, no one in Red Sparrow City would be a match for him if he were to release all of his Demonic Qi. Yi Tian was also afraid of causing a big commotion, so he naturally discussed it with Xiong Erbao. In the end, Xiong Erbao agreed to wear the pitiful equipment and promised not to cause any trouble before the two of them entered the city.
To be honest, Yi Tian didn't want to do anything superfluous. He would have completed his task if he sent this idiot home early. However, he didn't expect Xiong Erbao to suddenly say that he was hungry after passing by Red Sparrow City. He even said that he smelled the unique ingredients in the city, which stimulated his appetite. That was why he came to check it out.
Although he didn't need to eat after cultivating for so many years, Yi Tian would still drink a little or taste the specialties of the other world. After hearing Xiong Erbao's words, he naturally didn't stop him and followed him in.
The two of them relied on their high cultivation to bypass the layers of checkpoints in Red Sparrow City. After entering the city, Xiong Erbao led the way while Yi Tian followed behind him.
However, after entering the city, Xiong Erbao suddenly said that he couldn't find any traces of the food. The two of them walked around a few times before Xiong Erbao found a restaurant opened by a human spirit cultivator and swaggered in.
Yi Tian followed behind him like a little brother. When the waiters at the door saw a high-grade Demonic Qi cultivator, they naturally didn't dare to delay and wanted to lead the two of them to a private room on the top floor. However, Xiong Erbao said that he wanted to look at the scenery and found a seat by the window in the hall on the top floor.
After that, he took the menu and ordered many delicacies. Yi Tian sat at the side and when he scanned the menu with his spiritual sense, he was slightly shocked. The dishes sold by this human restaurant were actually made from the flesh of demonic beasts.
He glanced around and realized that there were actually many level-seven Demonic Qi cultivators on the top floor. Most of the dishes they ordered were also made with the flesh of Demonic Beasts.
Seeing this, Yi Tian secretly transmitted his voice and asked, "Erbao, Erbao, it's your first time here. Why are you so familiar with the situation here?"
Xiong Erbao finally found his place. He looked at Yi Tian with disdain and said, "You don't understand. High-grade Demonic Qi cultivators will naturally gain intelligence after they transform. They will also imitate the lifestyle of the human race."
"But don't they still eat Demonic Qi cultivators' flesh?" Yi Tian was puzzled.
"There's a big difference. You don't know the rules." Xiong Erbao said proudly, "The spiritual food sold by the human race has all been deeply processed. The spiritual power in it is completely retained while the original Demonic Qi is removed. For high-grade Demonic Qi cultivators, it's easy to extract spiritual power and there's no need to use their powers to expel the useless Demonic Qi. Naturally, it's very popular."
So there was such a rule among Demonic Qi cultivators. Yi Tian finally saw it. After looking around, he asked, "Aren't they afraid of eating their own kind? That's a big taboo for Demonic Qi cultivators. "
"Who says they won't eat their own kind? It just depends on the difference in treatment between different races." Xiong Erbao said with a playful expression, "Some Demonic Qi cultivators will even eat their own kind to improve their cultivation. However, the Iron-Eating Beasts are not one of them. Those are all low-grade Demonic Qi cultivators. "
Yi Tian looked at the few tables not far away. There were bull Demonic Qi cultivators, goat Demonic Qi cultivators, and Deer Demonic Qi cultivators sitting on the tables. These Demonic Qi cultivators were unusually obvious. They retained many of their original features after transforming. Some of them did not transform completely. Their necks were still Demonic Qi cultivators.
However, when he looked at the other side of the floor, the few Demonic Qi cultivators sitting by the window had completely transformed. After looking at them from head to toe, he realized that they were not much different from the women from the Spiritual Realm, except for the white tail behind their buttocks.
"That's the Green Hill Fox Clan. Legend has it that they're a branch of a clan left behind from the Celestial Realm. Their current clan leader has a cultivation base of Level Nine and has five tails." Xiong Erbao explained through telepathy.
"The situation of the Green Hill Fox Clan's clan leader that you mentioned was something that happened ten thousand years ago. Could it be that their cultivation base has not improved at all in the past ten thousand years?" Yi Tian smiled.
As the two of them were chatting, the waiter of the restaurant slowly placed the dishes they ordered on the table one by one. In the end, he said to Xiong Erbao, "Senior, all the dishes have been served. We offer two hundred and thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones. We don't accept credit. Pay first before you eat."
Xiong Erbao pointed at Yi Tian and said, "Ask him for money." After saying that, he did not care so much. He picked up the wine cup in his hand and took a big gulp. Then, he reached for the chopsticks on the table and stuffed them into his mouth.
He did not look like a high-grade Demonic Qi cultivator at all. Instead, he looked exactly like those ruffians in the mortal world.
Seeing that the waiter turned his head to look at him, Yi Tian looked embarrassed. He snorted in annoyance and took out a storage bag. After putting enough spirit stones in it, he handed it over and said, "Give me two more jars of this local specialty, Green Wave Wine."
"Six more jars." Xiong Erbao interrupted.
