Chapter 115: The Beginning (First Update)

  So-called hunters naturally have something to do with killing.

  And these hunters, their work is just as the name suggests, and it's quite easy, they just play the role of underlings, with a mission to go out and catch those targets. Of course, those targets are absolutely not some magical beasts or some specific person, but rather those alien people. Anyway, they only catch people, no matter who you are, as long as the buyer pays the corresponding price, they will do their best to capture the target, and they have never failed.

  And after capturing their targets, they would torture and kill them in various cruel ways according to the demands of their masters. Moreover, whenever an important figure was captured, they would hold a grand ceremony of torture, and those mentally deranged nobles or so-called superiors would lavish their wealth on this crazy act, with some even going bankrupt for it, yet still walking away with a satisfied expression.

  Gambling can be addictive, but how a gambler dies is even more maddening.

  This is Shuntong City, a city shrouded in both light and darkness. At this moment, Yi Chi has already set one foot into the city. So, what will his arrival change? Or what will he encounter?

  ......

  That time, Yi Chi took out his beloved ride only after leaving Piaoyu City nearly a hundred miles behind.

  In a flash of lightning, Yi Chi arrived at the second city he saw after crossing over. On the city wall, three big words were written: "Luo Xi City".

  Upon seeing the city's name, Yi Chi remembered that it was a first-rate large city located about 10,000 miles north of Floating Feather City.

  Yi Chi put away his sedan chair and started using the "Wind-Shifting Step" he had named himself, floating unpredictably into this big city. Tonight, however, he was going to spend the night here.

  After entering Luoxi City, Yi Chi was filled with freshness and took a stroll. However, it felt no different from being in Piaoyu City, with the same style of architecture, the same sounds, and the same iconic building - the City Lord's Manor.

  It turns out that it was a great disappointment to Yiqi, originally thought there would be some new things to accept, who knew it was such an appearance, really too disappointing.

  Then, Yi Chi somewhat unenthusiastically found a wine house, casually ordered a courtyard room and then rested. This was also a place for literary gatherings, but there wasn't much to see.

  The next morning, Yi Chi ended his cultivation after a night's rest and left the room again, leaving the second city he had lived in since crossing over. Although it was a bit disappointing, Yi Chi still left Luoxi City with high spirits, heading further north once more.

  This time, he didn't stay and directly bypassed those big cities that passed by, specifically running to some small towns. This made him see some different things, and more surprisingly, on the third night in a small town where he stayed, he actually encountered a black shop, which was quite embarrassing for Yi Chi, who couldn't help but laugh at himself for still encountering such a thing.

  As for those thugs in the store, Yi Chi didn't even bother to lift a hand. A group of guys who weren't even as good as a Dou Shi actually thought they could rob him - it was truly a joke of epic proportions.

  After Yi Chi left the town, that black shop was also reduced to a ruin. The people inside were burned alive by Yi Chi. This is also their bad luck, falling into Yi Chi's hands, and they deserved it.

  After four days, Yi Chi finally arrived at this city that looked like it had a completely different style, Shuntong City.

  ......

  As soon as Yi Chi stepped into this city, he had a different feeling.

  The pedestrians in this city, almost everyone carries a weapon on their body, and what's more, Yichi also saw several magicians wearing magic robes, which is rare in other cities. Generally, magicians are either serving the empire or working for some large families, and it's difficult to see even a few of them on the streets, because these magicians are almost always practicing and training, and even if they want to buy something like materials, they have servants to do it for them, so you can hardly see half a magician's shadow on the streets. However, here there exist such anomalies.

  Like the magicians that Yip Chi saw earlier, they are professional magicians who engage in adventure industries. They are not bound by the empire or large families and are very free. At the same time, they also yearn for freedom, so they established a magician's guild to gather free magicians. The things they do vary from big to small, ranging from participating in wars of certain countries to releasing tasks for collecting materials. Magicians in the magician's guild are relatively free, but there are still rules.

  On the mainland, it is well-known that magic spells are more precious, and in the Magic Guild, they also need to be exchanged for contribution points. Some magicians can only do tasks of collecting ordinary materials, so they will not have any great achievements in their lifetime. With those contribution points, I estimate you can exchange them for a few third-level magic spells at most.

  Some of them are engaged in hunting work, of course, this is different from the hunter's guild mentioned earlier. They receive tasks to hunt magical beasts at the magician's guild, and this job also has a certain degree of danger. If one's own strength is not high, it's basically a one-way trip. Every year on the mainland, countless low-level magicians are produced, but those who survive are few. Those people either die in the mouths of magical beasts or die from revenge and robbery.

  Shun Tong City, as a secondary city near the Beast Forest, naturally attracts many magicians who want to go to the Beast Forest. It's not surprising to see several on the streets. Only newcomers would feel novel, but for those living here and adventurers heading to the Beast Forest, it's already become a usual sight.

  Entering from the east gate, after paying a silver coin as the entrance fee, Yi Chi only took a look around the city and the first thing he did was to find a comfortable tavern to stay in. Since he had plenty of money, he naturally wanted the best place to stay and wouldn't settle for anything less, not wanting to deprive himself.

  ......

  The next day, Yi Chi stopped his cultivation as usual and got up from his room.

  The wine house where Yi Chi is located is the most famous, highest-end and most luxurious in Shuntong City. Of course, it's also the most expensive. Just for one night, he spent a whole 100 gold coins, not to mention other expenses. Now, he's going to head to his reserved private room to have something to eat.

  Under the leadership of a beautiful maid, Yi Chi arrived at his luxurious private room.

  Don't mention the price, it's worth it. The service alone is unmatched by other restaurants. As soon as we entered the private room, I saw three beautiful women waiting for us.

  Don't get any wrong ideas, they're just here to serve dishes and pour wine for Yi Chi and play some small tunes. However, each of these three people requires a hundred gold coins to hire, and you can't make any excessive moves. If you do something out of line, the thugs at the wine house aren't there for show. Just yesterday, Yi Chi saw those guards, they all have the strength of a great master, it's not a joke.

  Of course, Yi Chi is not afraid, but he would not do those boring things. He wants women, and he already has two, although the relationship is not yet confirmed, but isn't it going on step by step? Those people are just playboys who like to take liberties with their hands, but Yi Chi is a decent gentleman, how could he do such a thing?

  "Your Highness!"

  After seeing Yichi come in, the three women also stood up and called out. That voice was really sweet enough.

  Yi Chi's expressionless face nodded slightly, and he walked a few steps to sit down in his position.

  Three women looked at each other, slightly surprised. This man saw that they didn't have the slightest hint of flirtation or coquetry, he was indeed a strange person.

  After Yi Chi sat down, the maid who led Yi Chi here retreated and closed the door. This time, it was really a lone man among many women. Unfortunately, there wasn't any intense passion, and probably nothing inappropriate would happen.

  Yi Chi sat down and first looked at the food on the table. After all, it was breakfast, and there were only some fruits, pastries, and no hot dishes on the table. Of course, there was also a bowl of "Dragon's Blood Porridge" in the hands of a maid.

  This naturally isn't really mixed with dragon blood, it's just mixed with some demon beast blood, this demon beast blood, as long as it's used well, is also a rare supplement, of course, low-level demon beasts won't do.

  If it were really dragon's blood, then even a single drop would be incredibly precious. Its greatest effect is not to strengthen the body, as most people know, but to prolong human life.

  To know, even if it's as strong as a pseudo-god, that's not eternal life. Only when one truly becomes a great true god can they connect their lifespan with the heavens and the universe. At that time, they will be truly eternal.
