  “This guy’s strength is indeed above that Tiger Demon. The time it took to kill him was clearly longer than the Tiger Demon. But I feel this battle was not as dangerous as the one with the Tiger Demon.” 

  After punching the baldy to death, Zhou Chen sighed in his heart. He had actually beaten an enemy stronger than the Tiger Demon almost one-sidedly, although it had taken a long time. 

  “It is all thanks to the upgraded passive skills, as well as the bottle of potion I drank before the battle.” 

  The potion that Zhou Chen had drunk before the battle was an antidote. The reason why he had drunk this back then was because he had guessed that the bald man should have poison abilities, so he had drunk the antidote earlier to increase his poison resistance. 

  As for why he appeared from the black gas unscathed, it was not because of the antidote, but because he had activated the Shield passive skill to perfectly isolate the black gas. 

  [You have killed an Elder of the Green Corpse Sect. Reward: ‘Green Corpse Sutra’] 

  [Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skills of the Green Corpse Sect’s Elder, “Corpse Poison II, Copper Skin Iron Bones II”. Detected that they are superior to the passive skills you already have. They will automatically be replaced.] 

  While Zhou Chen was thinking, the system’s announcement sounded in his mind. 

  “This baldy actually has two passive skills?” 

  The drop of the skill book was within Zhou Chen’s expectations, but he did not expect that this baldy would have upgraded versions of his two passive skills. 

  He immediately opened his character interface to look at the changes. 

  The Copper Skin Iron Bones passive skill’s physical damage reduction had increased from 20% to 30%. The poison of the corpse poison passive skill had also strengthened. 

  “Since this baldy has two passive skills, the cultivation technique he cultivates should be good.” 

  Zhou Chen did not think that this person was born with these two rather powerful passive skills. It was most likely obtained from training. It immediately piqued his interest in the cultivation technique. He opened the inventory space to check. 

  [Green Corpse Sutra 

  Type: Mid-grade cultivation technique 

  The initiation into this cultivation technique can allow you to awaken the Poison Elemental True Energy. You can also grasp the Corpse Refining Art to strengthen your physique. At partial mastery, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Master. At full mastery, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Grandmaster.] 

  “It’s indeed not a trashy cultivation technique. It’s a middle-grade one.” 

  The mid-grade cultivation technique had already satisfied Zhou Chen’s minimum requirement, but he did not like the style of this cultivation technique. He did not want to train himself into a green bald head. 

  “I wonder how far this Green Corpse Sect elder has trained this technique. He shouldn’t have reached full mastery; otherwise, I would have died.” 

  Zhou Chen felt that killing this bald old man was not too difficult, so he felt that if he was at the level of the full mastery of the Green Corpse Sutra, then this Green Corpse Sutra would be too weak. 

  Moreover, he felt that this bald old man’s moves were not particularly exquisite. He did not feel any grandmaster demeanor from them. Instead, the old man felt like some insidious people who could not come out in the open. 

  “I have to check the information of this Green Corpse Sect. Their elder is hiding in the wilderness, and his strength is not even as strong as mine. Something might be going on in this sect.” 

  Zhou Chen felt that the situation of the Green Corpse Sect was definitely not good. Otherwise, an elder would not be waiting in the wilderness for a disciple to deliver materials and recruit anyone he saw. If they had the strength, they could just occupy a city and charge protection fees. 

  While he was thinking, Zhou Chen had already searched the corpse of the baldy and obtained two silver ingots, a silver note, and a token. 

  There was no need to talk about the silver note and silver ingots. He directly pocketed them. As for the token, it seemed to be an identity token of their sect. It was carved from a bone that was covered in unknown patterns, and the word “Elder” was engraved on it. 

  “I should take this token as well. I have to hide his corpse properly, so that his death is not exposed too early.” 

  After spending some time, Zhou Chen buried the bald old man’s corpse in the mountain. He returned to the carriage and hid the corpse of the swarthy coachman as well. This was necessary. Although their deaths would be exposed sooner or later, it was better if it was discovered as late as possible. 

  “This coachman has quite a lot of silver pieces. I’ve recouped my losses.” 

  After gaining some unexpected gains, Zhou Chen tore down the horse carriage and threw it into a pile of grass. Then, he rode the horse back toward the east. 

  Although he had never ridden a horse, he had seen others ride it. With his extraordinary physique and Beast King passive skill, it was easy to control the horse. 

  “Old horse, you will follow me from now on. I hope you can live longer…” 

  Zhou Chen felt that the horse was unlucky to have him as its master. As a Survivor, the system would definitely make trouble for him from time to time. It would not let him live comfortably. If anything happened, this horse might end up in a tragedy. 

  With the weight of the carriage gone and Zhou Chen gradually figuring out the key to riding a horse, the horse ran more and more smoothly. Before long, Zhou Chen returned to the main path and headed for his previous goal. 

  He was not in a hurry along the way. When the horse showed signs of exhaustion, he got off the horse and found a place to rest as well as food for the horse. 

  After moving at a moderate pace for a day, Zhou Chen stepped into his destination in the morning, the large city ruled by the Tyrant Fist Sect: Caelian City. 

  Caelian City was the largest city near Caelian Mountain. It occupied an area more than twenty times the size of Black Eagle Town. The buildings inside looked much more grand than those in Black Eagle Town, most being more than three stories high. The streets were wider, and pedestrians and horse carriages flowed endlessly. In the core area, one could even see pavilions and towers. 

  “The city construction is really good. I wonder if the system will use the earthquake trick.” 

  As he slowly rode the horse in this bustling city, Zhou Chen suddenly recalled a bad memory. 

  However, the system did not act out this time. He moved on the streets for a long time and did not sense any signs of an earthquake. 

  “Sugar coated haws! Sugar coated haws! The best sugar coated haws in Caelian City! Don’t miss it!” 

  “Roasted sweet potatoes! Roasted sweet potatoes! Eat one and fill your stomach; eat two and be energized; eat three and be prosperous!” 

  “Bull dumplings! Eating them will make you as strong as a bull! One bowl is only ten copper coins!” 

  … 

  The peddlers on both sides of the street kept on shouting. Zhou Chen felt a strange sense of familiarity in this environment. 

  After a while, he rode to a crossroad on the street. In the middle of the intersection was a tall wooden board with many signs filled with words and portraits. 

  “That bald man’s portrait seems to be familiar…” 

  He only took a glance before his attention was drawn to a portrait stuck on the wooden board.

  Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios 

  “Bounty: Survivor of the Green Corpse Evil Sect, nicknamed Green Faced Demon. Intelligence reward: 10 Silver Ingots. Head: 1 Gold Ingot.” 

  After glancing at the bounty poster of the familiar baldy a few more times, Zhou Chen understood what was going on. It turned out that the baldy he had killed a day ago had a bounty on him in Caelian City. 

  “If I knew this would happen, I would have brought his head here.” 

  Zhou Chen immediately felt that it was a pity. 

  “But I have his Elder Token, I wonder if it is enough to prove his death.” 

  “I should inquire…” 

  As a person who did not hate wealth, Zhou Chen felt that he could give it a try. 

  Zhou Chen scanned the notices on the large wooden sign and obtained a lot of information. 

  The content of the posts on the large wooden board was quite complicated. There were posts from the owner of the city, which was the Tyrant Fist Sect. For example, the bounty on baldy was posted by them. There were also reward notices on finding people and items, an announcement of a martial contest for marriage, and even advertisements for shops. 

  Zhou Chen focused on the notices posted by the Tyrant Fist Sect and found a recruitment notice that interested him greatly. 

  “Our sect’s Phoenix Ridge City has been attacked by demons several times. We are recruiting powerful warriors to help deal with them. Every demon that is killed will be rewarded with ten silver ingots…” 

  “Killing demons… I can do this.” 

  The reward for killing the demons was secondary to Zhou Chen. The Inspiration Pills that he could obtain from killing the demons was the most important. It was a treasure that Zhou Chen was extremely interested in. 

  “I can take this mission, but I need to deal with my hunger first.” 

  Zhou Chen made a change in his plan. 

  He had originally come to this place to inquire about high-grade cultivation techniques. Unexpectedly, he obtained the whereabouts of demons. 

  After looking at the notices, he rode past the crossroad. Not long after, he pulled the reins in front of an inn. 

  “Wulong Inn… does every place have this inn?” 

  The inn he stopped before had the same name as the one in Black Eagle Town. The interior design was also similar, but the area was larger. It was probably owned by the same person. 

  “This is it. The food and wine I ate before were good.” 

  Zhou Chen handed his horse to the horsekeeper beside the inn and stepped into the Wulong Inn. 

  The moment he entered, a familiar lively atmosphere welcomed him. A large number of customers were sitting around wooden tables and talking loudly while drinking wine and eating meat. 

  The waiter was wearing gray clothes and a gray cloth hat. He had a white cloth on his shoulder and was moving around the tables like a spinning top. 

  “Waiter, three kilograms of cooked beef, ten steamed buns, a plate of peanuts, a plate of vegetables, and a pot of rice wine.” 

  Zhou Chen found an empty seat and sat down. He shouted to the waiter who was busy working not far away from him. 

  “Alright! Sir, please wait a moment!” 

  Although the waiter was busy, his ears and eyes were very sharp. He immediately captured Zhou Chen’s order. 

  “This world is really good. Not only does the food taste good, but even if I eat a little more, I won’t attract too much attention.” 

  If Zhou Chen’s order appeared on Planet Blue, it would definitely be questioned by the service staff. However, this world was different. Zhou Chen had observed that martial artists had an astonishing appetite in this world. It was not rare to see someone like him who ate a lot. 

  ‘Why isn’t anyone coming to harass me this time…’ 

  While he was sitting alone by the wooden table and waiting, Zhou Chen realized that no brutish men came to cause trouble for him. The customers also did not pay much attention to him. 

  Feeling bored, he began to listen to the conversation of the surrounding customers. 

  As a person with an extraordinary physique, his hearing was very good. He could even hair the people on the tables furthest away from him. 

  “Brother Wu, let me tell you. There are a few new girls at the Spring Brothel on Second East Street. They look delicious!” 

  “What new girls… they were probably brought from the brothels in other cities!” 

  … 

  “Waiter! Wine! Ten pots of Burning Blades Wine!” 

  … 

  “I heard that recently, another elder of the Tyrant Fist Sect has reached the Grandmaster realm. This Tyrant Fist Sect is really progressing well. It might become a large sect in the future.” 

  “The Tyrant Fist Sect’s development is indeed not bad, but it’s still early to talk about becoming a large sect. Without the presence of a Great Martial Dao Grandmaster, it’s difficult to achieve it no matter how many Martial Dao Grandmasters there are.” 

  “Is a Great Martial Dao Grandmaster so powerful? Could it be that even the six Martial Dao Grandmasters of the Tyrant Fist Sect can’t defeat him?” 

  “Yes! More than ten years ago, there were eight grandmasters who jointly attacked a great grandmaster in the west, but they were almost all killed by the great grandmaster.” 

  “Wow, the peak figure in this world is really too awesome. Even a Martial Dao Expert feels very powerful to me. It’s really difficult to imagine a person who is three realms higher.” 

  “Heh heh, who told you that Great Martial Dao Grandmasters are the peak of the world? There’s Martial Dao Human Immortal above them! A Martial Dao Human Immortal is the true invincible existence! An existence that can move mountains and overturn seas!” 

  “Martial Dao Human Immortal… is there really such a person in this world…” 

  “Of course! At least there was in the past… Otherwise, who do you think the White Jade Capital belongs to?” 

  … 

  “Brother, I plan to try my luck in Phoenix Ridge City. I want to see if I can kill some demons and earn some money.” 

  “Oh? Then I’ll go with you. You are still some distance off from the Martial Dao Expert realm. It might be very dangerous if you encounter some powerful demons.” 

  “No need, I know what I am doing. I am going there not only to earn money but also to stimulate myself to breakthrough. If you go, it won’t be of much use.” 

  … 

  After listening to the customers’ conversation for a while, the beef dishes and wine were served on the table. He turned his attention to the food and drink while his thoughts raced. 

  ‘So there are five realms of martial dao cultivation in this world. Expert, Master, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Human Immortal. The middle-grade cultivation technique in my hand, the Green Corpse Sutra, can only be cultivated to the Grandmaster realm. Only high-grade cultivation techniques might be able to push the cultivator to the Great Grandmaster and Human Immortal realm. This middle-grade cultivation technique is not good, the upper limit is too low.’ 

  After listening to the conversation just now, Zhou Chen felt a strong dissatisfaction with the mid-grade cultivation technique. Its upper limit was actually suppressed by two realms by high-grade cultivation techniques. 

  ‘That White Jade Capital sounds interesting too. I can ask around.’ 

  Zhou Chen was also interested in the White Jade Capital that someone had mentioned earlier. Since it was the land of a Martial Dao Human Immortal, there must be some treasures there. If it was not too dangerous, it was worth taking a look……
