Chapter 805: Rumors (Please Subscribe) _1

Hearing this statement, the middle-aged man's gaze shifted towards the spirit stones in Xu Sheng's hand, with threads of greed gradually surfacing in his eyes....

Then, he began to struggle, ultimately letting out a sigh, "Actually, it's not like there's anything that can't be said. Everyone in this area knows about it!"

"The rumor in this town up ahead, in recent days, is about a female demon cultivator. It's often said that young men who come and go here turn into dried-up corpses, as if all their essence has been sucked out. So people like us common folks, we don't dare to enter."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng stroked his chin, deep in thought, "So that's how it is!"

But wait, if it's just young men, then this man should already be middle-aged, right? So what exactly is he afraid of?

Could it be that he still has confidence in his own appearance?

With that thought, Xu Sheng's dark eyes filled with curiosity as he scrutinized the man in front of him!

Seeing Xu Sheng staring straight at him, the middle-aged man explained in a fluster, "That, sir, I didn't create any false rumors, what I just said is all true! You can ask anyone in this town to know!"

In this way, afraid that Xu Sheng might think he had been deceived....

Xu Sheng calmly withdrew his gaze and tossed the spirit stones in his hand, "Mhm! This is what I just promised you!"

The forthright gift of spirit stones, on the contrary, stunned the middle-aged man, who exclaimed in astonishment, "Eh?"

He really gave them!

He had merely said a few words, and now he had earned several more spirit stones!

Seeing the man still standing there with no intention to leave, Xu Sheng's expression turned a shade colder, "What? Not enough? Don't be too greedy as a person!"

The middle-aged man quickly pocketed the spirit stones, explaining, "Sir, you misunderstand, I am just a little overwhelmed by your generosity. Oh right! There is one more thing I need to tell you. If you're just strolling around in the town, there won't be any problems, but you must absolutely not stay overnight. Please be very careful, I'll take my leave now!"

As his words fell, he hurried onto his carriage, and with the sound of a "snap" from the whip, he disappeared in the blink of an eye....

Only then did Xu Sheng's eyes move towards the town ahead, flying towards it using his Sword Control Technique....

...

Upon reaching the inside of this town, he found the atmosphere far more bustling than he had imagined!

On both sides of the street were numerous peddlers, with all sorts of rare treasures placed around them, and their shouts filled the air....

"Yellow jade! Pure yellow jade, capable of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, concentrating the essence of the sun and moon, for just two spirit stones!"

"Martial weapons for sale! Yellow Grade Top Quality Red Sun Sword, a fire attribute weapon, to suppress all evil spirits and monster beasts! Now going cheap, just 300 spirit stones and it's yours!"

"Crushing Mountain Fist! Earth Splitting Retreat, Lightning Five Continuous Whips, all kinds of martial techniques available. Buy ten at once, and get three Rejuvenation Pills for free!"

Just as Xu Sheng was about to step away, a peddler with cultivation at the Golden Core Stage grabbed his sleeve...

With a fawning smile, he said, "Dear customer, you must be a disciple from a Great Sect, right? I have some monster beast cubs here; how about raising one?"

Xu Sheng glanced indifferently at the weak monster beasts on his stall, replied blandly, "No need, thank you."

As for mounts, he already had the Silver Moon Wolf King and the Flame Serpent, he had no need for such things!

But the peddler persisted, "Customer, rest assured, as long as you raise them well, they can take you away... no, no, no, what am I saying, they can be the mounts for your offspring!"

Xu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly, his spiritual power surged abruptly, causing the hand that grasped him to immediately let go. He then continued walking forward expressionlessly...

Watching Xu Sheng's retreating figure, the peddler cursed under his breath, "Tch, thought he was a disciple from a Great Sect, turns out to be a pauper! Better not stay overnight in this town, or you won't even know how you died!"

Afterward, Xu Sheng used his spiritual power to sense his surroundings again, but he did not find anything of interest...

He then walked into an inn that appeared quite stylish. Though the decorations were not luxurious, it possessed a very simple beauty...

Upon seeing Xu Sheng, dressed in the attire of his sect, walk in, the rather attractive woman standing at the counter was immediately drawn to his unique charisma with her beautiful eyes...

She asked gently, "Guest, would you like to rest or stay at the inn?"

Xu Sheng was initially startled, then softly said, "Stay at the inn."

Although he did not understand the difference between the two...

Hearing this, the hesitant expression on the woman's face turned into a serious reminder. "You must know about the rumors concerning our town, right? I've never seen a man as handsome as you, so if you choose to stay at the inn, I'm afraid..."

Such a handsome man would undoubtedly become a target for a female demon cultivator!

Xu Sheng chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm confident!"

Seeing Xu Sheng's determination, the woman could only sigh silently...

In this town, there were quite a number of young Sect Disciples who had stayed overnight, but in the end, either they turned into skeletons or disappeared without a trace...

And before they died, they had all disregarded the rumors...

Feeling helpless, she finally said, "If that's the case, guest, you may stay in the first room on the second floor."

Xu Sheng took out three spirit stones and said, "Here are three spirit stones, that should be enough..."

The woman, looking at the glowing spirit stones with her beautiful eyes, shook her head and refused, "No need, if you are still alive tomorrow, you can pay then!"

Taking money from someone who's about to die, just thinking about it is bad luck!

And upon hearing these words, the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch...

Without thinking, it was clear that this woman had already written him off as good as dead!

He pursed his lips and said, "Well then, thank you!"

Since things had come to this point, he no longer pretended to be modest and turned towards the second floor...

...

With a "crack," Xu Sheng pushed the door open and walked into the room. His dark eyes casually swept over the space...

The room was about a few dozen square meters in size, with its doors and windows facing west, not large, but furnished with all the essentials!

Xu Sheng called out sternly, "Silver Moon Wolf King!"

As soon as the words were spoken, he employed the Beast Taming Technique. A Silver Moon Wolf King, about seven or eight meters in size, appeared instantaneously in the room, surrounded by a burst of white light...

Sensing Xu Sheng's intentions, it sat down cross-legged on the ground, its crimson pupils warily scanning the surroundings...

Only after all this did Xu Sheng lie down on the bed and calmly closed his eyes, saying, "Ah! Finally, I can get some good rest!"

Then time began to pass slowly...
