Xuan Ji was confused about what was really going on in this city. Even though not far from here, thousands of disciples from large Sects with Heavenly Emperor Cultivation bases gathered. This city should be a busy transit city.
An eight-year-old boy suddenly came out of the previously tightly closed food stall door. He was carrying a basket of food.
Before stepping foot, the boy looked left and right then ran towards a small alley.
"Hey, wait, kid!" Xuan Ji had suddenly faced the boy.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaa! Please don't suck my blood, my blood tastes bitter because I rarely eat good food!" The boy screamed and hit his knee on the ground.
"Hey, I'm not a ghost. I just want to ask. Why is this city deserted, where should I go if I want to find information?" Xuan Ji thought the boy was acting so his food wouldn't be taken.
Until now, Xuan Ji didn't realize that the Devil Cult was also deeply rooted in the Tianwu continent, even much more organized than the Devil Cult on the Tianlong continent.
The boy finally smiled broadly, it turned out that the swordsman in front of him was not a member of the Devil Cult who had made everyone afraid.
"If you want to find information, just go to that building." The boy pointed to a three-story building not far from them. "That is a brothel and a gathering place for travelers and swordsmen. However, the door is closed. Just knock on the door, and the security guard will open it."
Xuan Ji nodded and said, "Brothels are indeed the best place to gather information."
The boy smiled broadly. "May I go, sir? My mother and younger sister haven't eaten yet, I'm afraid they are starving because we haven't eaten since last night."
Xuan Ji was surprised to hear this and suspected that the city lord who ruled here had an iron fist and did not care about the fate of the little people.
In his mind, he immediately imagined that the city lord was currently having fun with his women while drinking wine.
Xuan Ji immediately felt disgusted and wanted to kick the city lord's face. However, suddenly the boy had stepped forward to go to his house.
"Hey, kid, wait!" exclaimed Xuan Ji, taking out a pouch made of monster skin. "Take this and use it sparingly. Don't let anyone else see you have this."
The boy was astonished to see the leather pouch that Xuan Ji had just thrown into his basket. The drawstring on the leather pouch was slightly loose, revealing the Silver Coins inside and several monster crystals from low level to high level.
If he sold the monster crystals, then it could buy a luxury house or a supply of wheat for several years.
However, as Xuan Ji said, the treasure could be a boomerang for his family. Greedy people would definitely come and take it if they knew he was keeping the treasure.
"You have the spiritual roots of Wood. Start absorbing low-level crystals, if you don't know how to cultivate. Just put the crystal under your pillow when you go to sleep, the spiritual energy from the crystal will be absorbed into your body by itself." Xuan Ji's voice appeared in the boy's mind. "When you can punch a tree to pieces, then you have reached the Body Refinement Realm."
The boy was very happy to hear that, he immediately bowed as a sign of gratitude.
If he reached the Body Refinement Realm at a young age, the nearest sect would definitely recruit him. Then no one would dare to oppress his family, even the city lord.
"Brother, what are you doing there? Come in quickly, later there will be monsters that ambush you." The little girl's voice was heard calling the boy.
"He-he-he... Brother is home, Yan'er. Let's call mom, we will eat a lot today." The boy replied to his sister's call with a bright smile.
"Really? Asyiiiiik!" The little girl jumped for joy.
Xuan Ji, who was hiding behind the tree, smiled. Both of them reminded him of Xue Hao and Xue Yao when they were little.
"After getting information from the brothel, it looks like I have to kick the city lord's ass so that his heart is moved to help the residents," muttered Xuan Ji as he walked towards the brothel.
In just a few breaths, Xuan Ji had arrived in front of the brothel.
The courtyard of the brothel was deserted and there was no sound coming from inside the brothel. There was a protective array covering the brothel, making it soundproof.
"Excuse me, can I still order wine?" Xuan Ji knocked on the door and greeted in a low voice.
The door immediately opened, a large man from the Heavenly Emperor Realm glared at Xuan Ji.
He stared at Xuan Ji from face to toe. His brow furrowed slightly because he couldn't measure Xuan Ji's Cultivation base. However, from Xuan Ji's appearance, he certainly realized that the man in front of him was also a Cultivator.
"Just wine?" The big man finally spoke.
"And also some beautiful women to accompany me to have fun," said Xuan Ji with a thin smile.
The entrance to the brothel suddenly opened wide. It turned out that there were many customers inside, including several men wearing clothes with the emblem of this City.
The eyes of the customers immediately turned to Xuan Ji. They looked surprised because they couldn't measure his Cultivation base, the emblem on Xuan Ji's clothes also looked foreign.
"Please sit here, handsome customer." The beautiful girl pointed to the chair next to her. She was sitting there alone because she had no customers to serve.
"Gao'er is so lucky to serve a swordsman customer." another girl whispered.
Swordsman customers are usually very generous in giving lots of tips, some even give monster crystals and also leak secret information so they can be resold.
The girl called Gao'er was a former Cultivator who switched jobs to become a comfort woman after her Dantian was damaged. Her face also had sword marks, so rarely would a pervert want to hire her.
"Give me the best wine," Xuan Ji said after sitting next to Gao'er with a warm smile.
Gao'er was very happy with Xuan Ji's friendly response to her. Whereas usually customers always sneer and are forced to rent her because the other comfort girls are already serving other customers.
Gao'er took out a golden jug from her dimensional ring, then poured the wine into the glass. The scent of flowers was very fragrant and spread everywhere.
"Is Gao'er crazy because she hasn't had a customer for a month? She should have asked first if the customer could pay for the thousand flower wine, if the customer couldn't pay then she would be punished by the Madam," whispered one of the comfort women.
"If I'm not mistaken, the price of one jug of thousand flower wine is One Hundred Thousand Gold Coins. Only the city lord or the young master of the Great Clan can afford to waste money drinking that wine," replied the male customer who was a Heavenly Emperor Realm Swordsman who worked for the city lord.
