Chapter 308


    <strong><strong><em>Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden</em></strong></strong>


    Tian Budai set his level five crimson shadow phoenix eagle on the ground. The fierce crimson beast with golden wings had its wings snapped and its gut sliced open.


    “Mr. Huai, it seems there is a bit of a hup with our transaction,” Tian Budai cordially said.


    Huai Baiwan’s eyes grew a sizerger when he saw a green piece of jade inside the crimson shadow wind eagle’s gut. He interrogated Huai Beiya with his gaze. Her usual smile was reced with exasperation.


    “Mr. Huai, should you not return myriad treasure ancient divine pill to me?” Tian Budai still maintained his usual demeanour. “I do not like associating with assassins; however, it seems inevitable.”


    The worst problems for businesses was having a customer point out the problems of faulty goods in person and dering they’d do business with apetitor. Credibility was the most important weapon for businesses. Unfortunately for Huai Baiwan, he smashed himself in the foot.


    Meanwhile, Mu Yu and Ku Mu already made their way out of the forest and were on their way to Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden.


    “Hahaha, free information on the ultimate immortals,” jeered Mu Yu.


    Ku Muughed heartily. “There’s no free lunch in this world. It goes both ways.”


    “They must’ve been born yesterday,” Mu Yu added.


    Ku Mu’s deration of superiority wasn’t just him blowing his trumpet. Ku Mu wanted to destroy it and be done with it. Mu Yu, however, decided he wanted to prank Million Company. Mu Yu decided to return the crimson shadow wind eagle to the forest, citing everyone had to contribute to protecting the environment.


    The jade piece even contained suggestions to counter each ultimate immortal’s techniques, which was a huge advantage for anyone who got their hands on it. For instance, the strategy for defeating Ximen Buxing was, “Sprit Severing Realm Second Layer cultivators can defeat him.” The darn monster was only a Body Severing Realm Ninth Layer cultivator.


    “Third Heaven Pce has acknowledged and epted the fiend race. By the way, your handwriting is horrendous. Do something about it,”ined Ku Mu, reading what Mu Yu wrote.


    Mu Yu never put in the effort to refine his handwriting after Vige Chief Bu taught him as a kid. Ku Mu called Mu Yu’s handwriting squiggles, unsurprisingly.


    Neen fiends were ranked on Ultimate Immortals Ranking, one of whom was in the top ten. Qiao Xue was ranked eighty-sixth. Her introduction was one word: fiend.


    “Gramps, why is the ce called Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden?”


    “You’ll find out.”


    The only citizens of Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden were cultivators, mainly Golden Core Realm cultivators. The Golden Core Realm cultivators were in charge of mundane errands such as guarding doors to businesses or working as clerks. There were fifty wide streets, each named ording to their length. For instance, one street would be Five Hundred Metres Street. It went all the way up to Twenty-Five Kilometres Street, hence the name Twenty-Five Kilometres Garden.


    It was impossible to navigate the streets for the streets intersected. Cultivators operated stores along either sides of the streets and primarily sold items cultivators needed. Primordial Infant and Body Severing Realm adepts maintained order on the streets. The guards warned visitors there was a strict no-flying rule inside the city.


    “This way.” Ku Mu led Mu Yu to the heart of the city.


    “All Roads Are Open” was printed on a que as iid gold. The building stood outpared to other buildings. The red pirs, floor, dragon and phoenix carvings screamed, wealthy.


    “Howe there is a continuous stream of cultivators entering but none leaving? Is this a shady business?”


    Nobody around shared Mu Yu’s sentiment. Some people turned onto different streets. That suggested it couldn’t have been a shady business; it would’ve been ridiculous to say all of those people vanished into thin air.


    The interior of the narrow and long hall was brightly lit. The four young clerks at the reception table conversed with cultivators who entered, albeit some strolling straight past the counter. It wasn’t easy, but the clerks’ voices were audible.


    “Which herb store is the best? There are twenty stores in the city. There’s Hundred Herb Hall on Twenty-Five Kilometres Street, which belongs to Pill Cauldron Sect. If you have spiritual stones in abundance, give them a visit. I’m sure they’ll have what you need. There’s Spiritual Herb Store on Nine Kilometres Street. They’re not bad. If budget is an issue, check out the crest on the wall.”


    Mu Yu followed the clerk’s finger to a map listing all the streets and some stores. Some ces were denoted in red, probably for marketing purposes. On Ten Kilometres Street was a store called Hundred Refinements that sold magic items. Fiend Pill Specialty Store on Five Kilometre Street bought and sold fiend pills.


    “If you can’t find your senior, you can search for Ximen Buxing. His shifu’s hideout is located at Melodic House. Search for Melodic House Street,” stated Ku Mu, pointing to the map.


    It was tough to locate ces on the map since there was so much text in tiny font. Some of the handwriting looked more hideous than Mu Yu’s. Scouring fifty streets and the countless stores was exhausting to the point that he gave up and decided to ce an enquiry with the clerk.


    Mu Yu lined up behind a stinky Primordial Realm man, who had holes in his clothing and bloodstains. He hung a bloody level four spirit leopard’s head from his belt, probably to sell it.


    “Hey Brother, which street is Spirit Beast Hall on?” The big man politely asked despite being more advanced as a cultivator.


    “Forty Kilometre Street,” the clerkzily responded.


    When it was Mu Yu’s turn, he asked, “Hey Brother, may I ask where Melodic House is?”


    The clerk furrowed his eyebrows. “It’s on Neen Kilometres Street.”


    As always, the unorthodox faction always garnered different reactions. Melodic House was home to unorthodox sect members exclusively. That was why the clerk presumed Mu Yu was also with the unorthodox faction.


    “Thank you.”


    Mu Yu followed the big man to the rear to pick up Ku Mu.


    Behind the counter was a long corridor. There was a long line to ess the teleportation formation there. The formation was onlyrge enough to teleport one person at a time. They had to ce a spirit stone in a groove as payment to utilise the formation. Of course, it was a small-scale formation unlike the extinct types used to teleport between heavens.
