Chapter 123: Investigation, Accompany, Arrival
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Chen went to the external affairs office of the Tyrant Fist Sect in Caelian City and asked about the reward for the Green Faced Demon and the mission in Phoenix Ridge City.

“The reward for that Green Faced Demon will be given after we confirm his death. It's not enough for you to have this token. You have to let our people see his corpse.”

The person in charge of the missions replied to Zhou Chen's question.

“I know where his corpse is, but I don't want to waste time in going back and bringing it over.”

Zhou Chen wanted the bald man's reward, but he did not want to go back because that would waste his precious time.

“Hmm… In that case, tell us the location of the corpse. We can send people to investigate. If it is confirmed to be true, you can use this token and receive the reward.”

The person saw that Zhou Chen was slightly conflicted, and gave him a suggestion.

“Alright.”

Zhou Chen smiled and directly accepted the manager's suggestion.

If this person dared to lie to him later, he would definitely become a source for him to obtain the Tyrant Fist Sect's cultivation method!

Soon, Zhou Chen described the location of the baldy's corpse to him.

“About Phoenix Ridge City, there will be arrangements for you after you reach there. That place is remote. Demons are very cunning and ferocious. The rewards on them are not easy to earn. If you don't have a horse, you can go with our sect's carriage.”

“No need, I'll ride my horse over.”

“Alright, when you reach Phoenix Ridge City, just report to the sect's camp.”

Before long, Zhou Chen left the external affairs office of the Tyrant Fist Sect and began to stroll around the city.

He was not just strolling around, but was also asking around for some information that interested him. For example, where there were high-grade cultivation techniques, the territories of the large sects, what kind of place the White Jade Capital was, and so on.

He wandered around till evening before returning to the Wulong Inn to get a room.

He would not let himself suffer when it was time to rest and enjoy.

“The nearest large sect is the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect thousands of kilometers southwest. It's a large sect with a slightly rustic name but actually has a long history. Two martial great grandmasters are in charge of the sect. It's not too far from here, I can think about it.”

Zhou Chen really wanted to obtain a high-grade cultivation technique. He looked down on the Tyrant Fist Sect that was rumored to not have high-grade cultivation techniques and did not want to spend too much effort here.

“Even if I want to make a move on these large sects, I have to choose the time and place. Otherwise, it will be a joke if I end up getting killed.”

Zhou Chen knew that his strength was nothing in this world. It was okay for him to kill a few minor characters in the wild, but if he dared to cause trouble in other people's territories, he would definitely die very quickly. Therefore, unless the time was appropriate, he would definitely behave himself and pass the Survival mission.

“As for the White Jade Capital, it seems to be a legendary place. Many natives think that it doesn't exist. Could those two people in the inn be talking nonsense after drinking?”

Zhou Chen did not manage to find much concrete information about the White Jade Capital. Many natives expressed that the place was a legendary treasure land that the martial arts fanatics had imagined and was not actually real, making Zhou Chen suspect something.

“Forget it, I will set off to Phoenix Ridge City tomorrow to kill the demons and obtain more Inspiration Pills.”

Zhou Chen placed a lot of importance on things like the Inspiration Pill that could increase his aptitude. Aptitude was always innate, and it was difficult to change it. If he did not seize this opportunity to improve it, it would be difficult to improve it in the future.

The night passed peacefully.

Zhou Chen woke up in the morning. After washing up briefly, he went downstairs to eat something before going to the nearby stable to retrieve his horse. He rode it and started heading for the city gate.

He had already learned the exact location of Phoenix Ridge City, and even obtained a map, so he did not need anyone to lead the way.

While riding on the street, he saw a young man in dark-colored athletic clothes moving the same way. He had an impression of this young man. The young man had also been eating at the Wulong Inn. When he was talking to his older brother, he had mentioned that he wanted to go to Phoenix Ridge City to hunt monsters to earn money and try to make a breakthrough.

After the two of them left Caelian City and entered the wilderness, they got familiar with each other.

“Young Master Li, I see that your aura is deep and powerful. You should have reached the level of a Martial Dao Expert, right?”

Zhou Chen told the young man in the athletic clothes that his surname was Li, so the young man called him Young Master Li.

“Something like that…”

Zhou Chen, who was also riding a horse, was not too sure about this because his situation was relatively special. His martial arts level was not high, and he mainly relied on his powerful physique and various passive skills to defeat his opponents. However, according to his research, his strength should be at the level of the Martial Dao Experts in this world.

“From your tone, you haven't participated in the tests of medium and large sects?” The young man guessed.

“Never.” Zhou Chen immediately agreed.

Zhou Chen had learned about the sect tests that this young man mentioned, a day before. If someone wanted to show their strength or join a sect, they could go to a medium or large sect and ask someone to check their strength. In other words, they would have to fight a strong opponent to determine their level.

This method was very common in this world. Many medium and large sects would directly recruit experts when they found one in the test. It was an important method for sects to recruit people.

“Then let's work harder when killing the demons in Phoenix Ridge City. When I make a breakthrough, we can go to the Tyrant Fist Sect to take the test. I almost succeeded last time.”

This young man explained his situation and seemed to be very engrossed in martial arts.

“Hehe, we will talk about it when the time comes. Let's focus on killing the demons.”

Zhou Chen was not interested in the sect's test. After all, he could not stay in this world for long and was only a passerby.

The two of them rode their horses in the direction of the target. It took them two days to reach their destination and reach the small city built in the mountain: Phoenix Ridge City.

This Phoenix Ridge City was in a remote location and did not have a large population, but because it produced some useful ores, the Tyrant Fist Sect could not easily abandon it.

Zhou Chen learned that the Tyrant Fist Sect had once sent several elite masters here to completely clear the demons in the nearby mountains, but they did not get a good result. This was because those demons were too smart. As soon as they realized that there were strong people coming, they all hid in the mountains, making it difficult to eliminate them.

Although Phoenix Ridge City was of some value to the Tyrant Fist Sect, its value was not that high. It was not worth them stationing master-level warriors in this place for a long period of time, so they thought of spending money to recruit external forces to get rid of the demons..
