Ch.19 Travels(2)

"Sir this current location is the spirit market. You may not know it but this is the largest collection of loose cultivators you can find in the nearby empires."

The man explained as both of them walked on the street, Yucheng noticed that the deeper he went the more the spiritual energy was concentrated by the less the number of people were.

"Oh, why is that?"

Yucheng asked as his eyes turned toward the sky, a formation was built there that collected spiritual energy from the surrounding.

"Well, you see sir, a few hundred years ago a formation master built a formation here."

"It seems to be from the request of nearby sects that wanted to use this place as a hub in the mortal world."

The cultivator answered he seemed quite smart and knowledgeable about things here. Well from his face he seems to be quite old without any future prospects for cultivation so information collection must be a way of living for him.

"Sir, you may be wondering why the concentration of spiritual energy here is more but the cultivators are less in number."

The old cultivator brought out another topic, he seems to want to make a good impression on Yucheng.

"Go on."

Yucheng said that although he had some guesses it was better to verify them from the mouth of someone who knows it.

"Well, you see sir, the deeper the area we walk here the closer we are to a branch of the 'All World Bar'."

"So unless one is a foundation building cultivator like yourself they won't be able to go there."

"The 'All World Bar'?"

"Yes, although I am not sure it seems to be a neutral organization created by a group of a large number of cultivation sects."

The man answered in an unsure tone and looked at Yucheng with worry in his face fearing that he would kill him for not being able to give accurate information.

Yucheng saw the fear in his eyes but didn't comment on it, he just simply nodded his head and walked forward.

The man stopped in his tracks as he could feel gazes coming from ahead, this was the deepest he could walk even when guiding someone.

"Sir, safe travels."

The cultivator bowed as he prepared to walk back, Yucheng turned his head around and threw a lesser-grade spiritual stone at the man's hands.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

The man said with gratitude as a smile bloomed on his face. Yucheng didn't say anything anymore, various spiritual senses tried to probe him but as he released his spiritual pressure they were withdrawn.

In front of him, a bar appeared, well better call it a giant pagoda with a sigh saying that it's a bar in front.

Two burly cultivators in the foundation period, most likely at the dantina filling stage were guarding the gate looking menacingly at Yucheng.

"Boy, Pay 10 lesser spirit stones if you want to enter."

One of the men said in a gruff tone as he tried to act intimidating, he was quite good at it and it would have worked on a normal person.

But he is Yucheng after all the one who can keep his face calm even in the face of his father's death.

Taking out ten spirit stones he handed them to them and walked inside, Yucheng looked noble and a genius just by his bearing so they didn't make it difficult for him.

"haa, and they say the cultivation world is a man-eat-man world."

"Except for the evil cultivator, I never met an ill-behaved cultivator."

Yucheng muttered in a humorous tone, the guards who heard him looked at each other's faces but didn't say anything.

If not for fearing his background and strength they would have taken a fee.

Walking inside the bar was crowded but for some reason, there was no noise, he could see people noise moving but couldn't hear any sound.

"Sir, would you like a sit."

A waiter walked out and asked Yucheng in a polite tone. He has been a good judge of people and Yucheng didn't seem the simple kind in his mind.

"Yes, a private one if you could."

"Sir, we only have a private two-person seat available currently."

"Then I will take that one."

"Understood, please follow me, sir."

The waiter's tone became even more polite as his eyes shone with joy, it seems he got the wealth god today.

Looking at the clean seat at one of the corners of the room Yucheng nodded at the bartender and sat down.

"Sir, would you like anything else."

"Bring me the finest drink you have."

"At your service sir.. Also, sir, if you like you can tap the seat twice and you can hear all the gossip of the crowd."

After finishing his words the waiter walked away toward the inner area of the bar, Yucheng used his spirit sense and saw a formation inscribed on the table.

 "It seems without money you can't even hear gossip here."

Yucheng muttered as he tapped the table twice, in an instant the silent bar disappeared as it was filled with the mummers and talks of the people.

Yucheng leaned back on the chairs as he listened to the words of the crowd, after all this is one of the best ways of collecting information.

"Hey, have you heard.."

"What,??"

"The Sun Flower Sect was destroyed.."

"What!!!"

"Yes, it seems they angered some evil cultivators and were destroyed by them.."

"How dare those evil cultivators.."

"I don't know but it seems nowadays the evil cultivators are becoming too active."

"I wond..."

"Hey hey, you to stop talking about such unlucky topics. Have you heard 'The Rising Sect' has gained a new genius?"

"How good of a genius?"

"It seems he can become a Nascent Soul Ancestor."

"Hiss!!"

Yucheng listened, this was the most important topic that was currently being discussed in the bar. So he just focused his attention on the group of four who seemed to know the most.

"Sir, here's your drink."

The waiter said as he put an old wine bottle and glass on the table, behind him another waiter brought some spiritual cuisine as he started to plate them.

Yucheng picked up the bottle and opened the cap, a concentrated aroma burst out as he could feel the spiritual energy contained in this wine.

"Sir, this is our finest product. A wine aged for a thousand years while being bathed in spiritual liquid. Hope you enjoy it." 

"Good stuff."

Yucheng answered as he poured himself a glass. The waiters slowly walked away without disturbing Yucheng anymore.
