The sound of falling objects on the ground sounded loud. Shua Xie sheathed back his sword then sighed softly. It had been almost 3 months that he had been living in a forest full of spirit monsters ever since he fell from the cliff, and the second time he had survived death. This past few weeks Shua Xie has been trying to get out of the woods because he wants to find allies but he has not managed to find a way out.

Shua Xie knew he was currently in the Underworld thanks to the divine knowledge that the mysterious Master had given him. The little gift the Master meant was the knowledge of the world of cultivators. Thanks to him Shua Xie understands many skills, magic, and other sciences, but Shua Xie has not been able to maximize all the great skills because the training stage is not enough. Not only was the gift alone, the Master also took out all the toxins in Shua Xie's body, widening his dantian, QI, mediating, and vitality. Shua Xie felt like he was reborn with a body and physique that was quite strong than before, although Shua Xie had to repeat back to the initial training stage.

In each journey he always met spirit monsters of various levels and types, forcing Shua Xie to fight hard for his safety considering he would not die silly as before. During the trip there was not much time off for him because spirit monsters roamed so much especially at night.

"Huf! It's been three weeks but not yet out of the woods. Will I be trapped in this forest forever? It's ridiculous if I become a forest man!" muttered Shua Xie annoyed.

Shua Xie took the essence stone of the spirit monster essence he had just killed, the spirit stone was the essence of the giant gorilla spirit beast that was famous as the king of the forest. Shua Xie noticed a blood-red stone the size of a child's fist. Had Shua Xie not absorbed much spirit stone energy it was possible that Shua Xie would not have been able to defeat the giant gorilla of the forest king.

As usual Shua Xie would absorb his spirit energy in order to increase his tiers. There are also some he brought to be sold if he has arrived in the village or the nearest city and converted into money or something like that.

After successfully absorbing it into his QI energy, Shua Xie again continued his journey in search of a way out of the forest. As usual during the journey he met low and middle level spirit monsters but this time they all did not attack preferring to hide when they saw Shua Xie. Shua Xie could only faintly smile seeing the many spirit monsters that had blurred after seeing him just maybe because he had managed to almost defeat some king level spirit monsters making him known to weak spirit monsters.

"Hais I did not think the spirit mustard was afraid of me, even though they were very aggressive against me before. Now look not dare, am I so sinister?!" muttered Shua Xie while shaking her head feeling funny.

Not long after half an hour of walking Shua Xie heard the sound of horses running quickly. Shua Xie was so overjoyed when he heard it and immediately ran quickly towards the source of the sound. The sound of a horse leg meant that Shua Xie was already close to the exit.

After a few minutes of running Shua Xie finally managed to get out of the forest and found a large road that is often used horse walking. Surely the road has become a public road of travelers or merchants and nobles.

"Finally out too!" shua Xie exclaimed excitedly.

From ignorance there is a horse carriage that moves very quickly escorted by several other horses around it. Shua Xie could guess that the horse carriage must be a rich merchant because it carried so many things and was escorted by several fighters.

Shua Xie was standing in the middle of the road making the horse carriage come to a sudden stop. The horseman's cashier yelled angrily while stomping the horse's whip at Shua Xie for disturbing his path. But swiftly Shua Xie held back the lash with one hand, the guards instantly holding their swords each ready to attack.

"Fuckin' shit! Get out of the way, are you trying to rob our Master's stuff!?" the cashier shouted loudly while pulling the lash.

Shua Xie let go of his lash with a small smile, "No, I have no intention of robbing. But I want to hitchhike with Mister, can you take me to Sir's place. I'll pay anything."

"Well do you think we're the ones with the flaws? The bodyguards attacked the girl!"

"Hey don't be so angry, we can negotiate instead. I can give you this spirit stone bulkhead if you take me." Shua Xie took out a single bag of spirit stones from the s.p.a.ce ring that Shu Chin had long given him. Everyone became shocked when they saw that bag of spirit stones were so many middle-tier spirit stones.

The master of the carriage immediately came out when he heard a bag of spirit stones. Of course spirit stones are very expensive if sold, one high-value spirit stone depends on the level of the spirit monster.

The fat man with a distended stomach hurriedly approached Shua Xie and held his hand.

"Young Master is right we can negotiate. I accept your offer, please come sit with me Young Master. Sorry my horse cashier acted disrespectfully to the Young Master."

Shua Xie watched the man from the top until bringing from his stature so striking full of jewels, Shua Xie guessed he must have been the owner of the carriage.

'Young Master? Does he think I'm a man because I wear men's clothes?' shua Xie said in his heart.

"Thank you, you're taking me. It's my fault that your chariot is like robbing."

"Haha ... Young Master can all be discussed. Let's get in the car." Take the fat man while pulling Shua Xie into the carriage. Shua Xie did not refuse that was exactly what Shua Xie wanted, got a ride and could go to the city to find the information he needed.

After Shua Xie and the man entered, the horse carriage walked back. In the carriage the man continued to invite Shua Xie to talk about his acquaintance and about his work in the business world. Several times also Shua Xie asked about the city they were heading to and other information.

***

"Young Master Shu if you have time please stop by my pavilion. I live in the western part of the city, the Cheng pavilion," Suguan shouted from the window of the horse carriage. Shua Xie simply replied with a smile seeing that the horse carriage had already moved far away leaving him.

Shua Xie had already arrived at the town square and had deliberately asked to get off at the town square because he wanted to find an inn. Actually Suguan had already offered for Shua Xie to stay at his pavilion but Shua Xie refused.

'Hahaha .. interesting traders. At least I've done a little business with him. At least I have a protective pawn if there is any problem in this city considering Mr. Suguan is the richest merchant in this city.'

While in the carriage Suguan also invited Shua Xie to do spirit stone business with him after knowing Shua Xie had hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in his s.p.a.ce ring. Suguan was actually very surprised to find out, because he could not believe how many hundred thousand spirit monsters Shua Xie had killed. That meant that Shua Xie was not an indiscriminate person who was easy to offend.

Shua Xie inhaled the air and exhaled it. He saw the city crowd full of burning spirit.

"Finally get to town. Let's take a look at what the best ancient inns were!?"

Shua Xie stepped into the crowd of the city filled with vigor. Unceasingly his eyes glanced there and here, this was his first time Shua Xie saw a bustling city more crowded than Xuilin city. First Shua Xie went to buy new clothes because his clothes were now dirty and not worth using. Shua Xie chose a black suit according to his strong but cold-hearted character. Then two find an inn.

'If you can establish cooperation with the owner of this inn it seems to have nothing to lose.'

Shua Xie stepped inside the inn and saw that the lower floor was a rather luxurious restaurant full of sycophant women. Shua Xie also saw the average visitor was a wealthy merchant and nobles.

'The hostel looks like a Bordil house. It turned out that Uncle Suguan was indeed right, there were many nobles in this inn. Maybe I can find more information here than them.'

Shua Xie stepped foot onto the reception desk and immediately expressed his intention to meet the innkeeper. The cashier immediately went to call the innkeeper in a hurry.

Shua Xie leaned his back against the wall while slowly hitting the cashier table forming an irma knock. Shua Xie continued to pay attention around seeing the many working women licking the guests.

Not long after Shua Xie waited for the innkeeper to come along with some of the guards and guards of the cashier. Shua Xie greeted the innkeeper warmly and introduced himself to each other. The innkeeper's name was Tang Gou, who had a tall but slightly thin body, was already 50 years old. The way his clothes looked like royalty but Tang Gou was not a descendant of nobility.

Tang Gou invited Shua Xie into the special room where he received important guests. And start talking about what Shua Xie calls.

"Uncle Tang Gou I immediately want to talk to the point only. About how many spirit stones to pay for this inn?" shua Xie asked with a serious look.

"What does Miss Shu mean?" Tang Gou pretended to be confused even though he understood the intent of Shua Xie.

"How many spirit stones to pay for this inn? I want to buy this inn with the waiter and the contents."

"That's what my Miss doesn't sell this inn. This inn is my only income, if I sell how I give my family. I am not a descendant of a wealthy noble."

Shua Xie smiled coldly while propping up his chin, "Uncle need not worry. I will still give the right of this innkeeper to Uncle as long as Uncle works for me. Uncle can work on it as usual. I just want to name this inn my own. Uncle's work will still be the same as usual, the salary I give is also good," Shua Xie replied coldly making Tang Gou flinch.

Tang Gou could see the seriousness of Shua Xie. Tang Gou's plan cleared his throat, "Ehem ... What did the Young Master say was true? But why could Young Master believe me so easily, when we only met once."

"My instinct says Uncle's an honest man. Uncle can I raise directly to be my trust representative if Uncle agrees," Shua Xie replied casually.

"Alright if Miss believes in me, Miss's trust will not be betrayed. How much do you want to pay for this inn?"

"If I buy it with spirit stones does Uncle agree?" shua Xie asked a little hesitantly fearing that Tang Gou refused.

"How many spirit stones does Miss have?"

"How much do you want to say" replied Shua Xie.

Tang Gou was speechless at how confident Shua Xie was asking how many spirit stones he wanted. Though Tang Gou could have asked her a lot. Everyone knew the price of spirit stones was extremely expensive than a single house. Moreover, high-level spirit stones.

"Ehem .. five hundred spirit stones. Hows it? Does Young Master agree?" tawang Tang Gou's.

"How many workers are there in this inn Uncle?"

"There are fifty male servants, fifty female servants, and thirty comfort women," Tang Gou replied nervously.

Shua Xie gave a small smile then took out a thousand spirit stones from his s.p.a.ce ring making everyone who saw a great shock.

"There are a thousand spirit stones. Please Uncle share each worker one spirit stone as a token of familiarity from their new Master. And the price for Uncle. This should be enough isn't Uncle?"
