Chapter 10

Oh yeah after fifteen days of hard work and dedication I have finally gotten rid of my fat gut.

I now have a set of wondrous eight-pack abs I couldn't be happier now the only thing that makes me look weird is my fish lips and whiskers.

But who cares at least I'm not fat anymore now I'm a muscular hunk with great hair and beautiful eyes.

My skin was a slightly darker tan and I stood at an impressive height of six-foot-six inches.

Now it's about I go out I've confined myself to this room long enough.

I plan to sell those poisons and other assassination tools except for those daggers I'll keep them just in case.

However, before I sell those things I plan to go to a local tea house to gather information.

I can't be ignorant forever if I want to continue surviving in this world.

A wise man once said information is power and I need all the power I can get.

I only know about Koi town and not much else which will be a problem.

I also need to learn about any prestigious clans or sects in the area.

I don't want any unnecessary trouble because I pissed off the wrong guy like those fools in cultivation novels.

Oh God, I have so much work to do I guess I should get to it enough wasting time.

I walked out of the Inn and headed towards a popular local tea house called the Jade Palace.

It was a three-story building with a large jade teapot on top of the building.

Many people were walking in and out of the elegant building, and all of them looked strong.

They must be cultivators damn that's another problem of mind I need to find a way to cultivate.

I feel like an exposed field mouse in front of a kettle of hawks I hate feeling so weak fuck!

I swallowed my frustrations and walked towards a beautiful buxom maiden in a tight-fitting yellow dress.

"How may I assist you, young man," She smiled her body radiating a mature and friendly aura.

"Can it big tits I need information I know you have people who provide that sort of thing," said Moa.

The woman was caught off guard by the man's rudeness and the comment about her chest but she knew he must be wealthy after all information doesn't come cheap.

"Fellow me then sir I'll take you to a private room upstairs where you can converse in peace," said the buxom attendant.

She led Moa into a small room with a hexagonal table with two chairs he shat in one and waited for someone to show up.

Later a woman wearing a dark veil and an all-black dress came in and shat done on the chair opposite him.

"Welcome before we continue you must pay first," said the shadowy woman in a raspy voice.

Moa nodded and placed a high-grade spirit stone on the table.

The woman was slightly surprised but continued with the transaction anyway.

"Very well what do you wish to know,"

"Well for starters I'm not from Koi town I only recently arrived here so I need information about any powerful clans and sects in the area,"

The woman understood what Moa wanted so she told him about all the commonly known knowledge of the area.

"You see all the cities and towns are built around a great lake known as the flood dragons lake it is a truly massive lake said to be bottomless but really it's more like a swamp made up of many individual lakes this town was built on the outskirts of the great lake and as you go farther into it there will be more towns and cities each being bigger and more prosperous than the last the reason for this is because of the vast resources that the flood dragon lake has and the quality of those resources increases the farther you go," said the raspy-voiced woman.

"I see what about any powerful or influential clans," asked Moa.

"I was getting to that anyway there are many clans that live in the vast flood dragon lake but only two are worth mentioning the Ming clan and the Xia clan, The Xia clan is the largest and most powerful clan in the Flood dragon lake," said the woman in black.

Moa listened carefully this was all very important but what he cared most about was cultivation.

"I need information about cultivation realms and sects in this area," said Moa.

"I see well I guess a mortal with no cultivation wouldn't know about those things so listen there are seven realms in total The Body Tempering realm, The Qi Gathering realm, The Soul Formation realm, The Nascent Soul realm, The Golden Core realm, The Divine Ability realm, And The Dragon Transformation realm." said the woman in black.

"As for the sects, there are many smaller ones but the two largest are the Fairy lotus lake sect and the Dragon Gate sect the Fairy Lotus lake sect is the most influential sect in the great lake holy land as for the Dragon Gate sect...

"Hold on what's this Great lake holy land!" Moa said loudly interrupting the woman in black.

"Huh? okay, first of all, don't interrupt me second the great lake holy land is one of the three great holy lands how do you not know about the three holy lands it's very common knowledge?" said the woman in a skeptical tone.

"You don't need to know just tell me about the three holy lands," said Moa as he placed another high-grade spirit stone on the table.

The woman's eyes lit up and she decided to shut up and just tell him what he wanted to know.

"You see the three great holy lands are the three territories that make up the Southern lands as you must know the world is divided into four lands the Western lands, the Northern lands, the Southern lands, and the largest and most powerful of the four lands the great Eastern lands we live in the Southern lands that are divided into the three holy lands the holy land of the Sun, the Ivory sword holy land, and the great lake holy land and Flood dragon lake is part of the great lake holy land," said the woman in black.

"Okay I get so can you tell me how I can start cultivating," said Moa it was very important he start cultivating.

"Hmm? there are several ways but if I were you I would join a sect it would be way easier if you just join a sect you will receive guidance and cultivation resources much easier than trying to get them by yourself and what's more if you join a sect with a strong background many will think twice about harming you it's just a smarter option," said the woman.

Moa understood this but he was hesitant to join a sect he didn't want to give up his freedom but he knew it was the best choice for him he was just a weakling right now so joining a sect was the best option.

"Okay then which one should I join," said Moa in a tired tone.

"Join the dragon gate sect," said the woman very quickly.

Moa was surprised by this but surprise was soon replaced by doubt.

"Why should I join the dragon gate sect what about some other sects like that Fairy Lotus sect," said Moa.

"No all other sects are small and don't possess many resources the only two worth joining are the dragon gate sect and the Fairy lotus sect but the Fairy lotus sect only allows women to join so joining the dragon gate sect is all you can do," said the woman.

Now I get it okay so dragon gate it is but where do I go Moa was about to ask when the woman said.

"Go to Xinxian city the dragon gate sect has a place where recruits can join the sect normally they are a very exclusive sect but recently they have been recruiting people in large amounts so you should be able to join them," said the woman.

Moa nodded gave her one more spirit stone then left he returned to the Inn to plan his next course of action.

I decided to not sell that assassination stuff I could really need it if I run into trouble and tomorrow I'll leave Koi town and head to Xinxian city and join the Dragon gate sect.

Moa finally had a goal to become a powerful cultivator and nothing was gonna stop him.
