My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 445 - 180: The Demon’s Immortal Execution, The Resurgence of the Spirit Vein

Atop the portrait,

there was a person wearing a ghost-faced mask, nameless, with only a nickname "Ghost-faced Old Demon" and a bounty.

The bounty was exceptionally high, not only including a large amount of mundane gold and silver, but the notice also stated that anyone who could provide information about this person would receive a reward from an Immortal, and that killing him would grant one the bestowal of a magic skill.

Killing an Immortal.

Was the Ghost-faced Old Demon truly so fierce?

If he hadn’t killed enough to make even Immortals afraid, why would they collaborate with ordinary people to issue a wanted poster?

Chen Sansi and Ning Xiang joined up.

The information they had obtained was roughly the same.

Recently, Immortals, demons, and even Exotic Beasts were descending from the mountain to eat humans, causing such strange phenomena that even Nanxu Prefecture had begun sending people to investigate, causing quite a stir.

"Let’s find a place to stay first,"

Chen Sansi and his party were set to take to the seas next, but as the evening sky turned a deep red, signaling the approach of nightfall, they could only plan to look for a ship to depart from the docks the next day.

As they ventured deeper into the town, he discovered through his "Qi Observation Skill" that these so-called Immortals were in fact disguised and hidden among the "streets and alleys"!

Some of them masqueraded as Jianghu heroes, while others as local residents...

In front of a tavern, an old man leading a donkey who appeared to be buying liquor was actually circulating Spiritual Power within his body. His cloudy and aged eyes emitted a flow of light unseen by ordinary people, scanning every individual on the street.

Including Chen Sansi and his party, none managed to escape detection.

He guessed that this was likely due to a spell similar to the "Qi Observation Skill."

Having always been the one to see through others, now being seen through by someone else was an exceptionally discomforting feeling...

It seemed that if he were truly to enter the world of Cultivation, it would be necessary to find a Magic Skill that could hide his Cultivation.

There was, however, one distinct difference.

These "Immortals" required the use of Spiritual Power to probe others.

Whereas Chen Sansi relied solely on his eyes, consuming no Spiritual Power at all, allowing him to observe without alerting the other party.

"Old fool!"

A younger Cultivator appeared, warning the old man, "Keep using your ’Investigation Skill’ recklessly and I’ll gouge out your eyes!"

"Hehe, Daoist, don’t take offense,"

the old man repeatedly apologized with a grin, "I am only looking to see clearly, who knows, I might find a clue."

Their voices were not loud when they spoke, neither were they deliberately secretive, indicating the matter they were searching for was an open secret among Cultivators.

Chen Sansi quickened his pace, preparing to head to the town’s inn for an overnight stay before figuring out a way to set sail at dawn.

To avoid drawing attention, the White Swan Horse turned into a reddish-brown horse under Ning Xiang’s Blinding Technique.

Ning Xiang and Zhaozhao, too, were made to look ordinary under his disguise techniques, to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble like before.

The town was not big, boasting only a single inn. Fortunately, it had superior accommodations. Chen Sansi booked an entire courtyard to facilitate their operations.

When traveling, food and lodging must be arranged.

Once those were taken care of,

Chen Sansi prepared to purchase some meals, having not really eaten much on their journey, and also to sample the local specialties.

"Esteemed guest!"

The innkeeper said, "Don’t be fooled by the size of our establishment; the food here is top notch! We have all sorts of Exotic Fish and Exotic Beast meat that Martial Artists love."

"Is that so,"

Chen Sansi inquired, "You have Exotic Beast Meat here to eat?"

"Yes, plenty of it!"

The innkeeper said proudly, "These days, several surrounding Prefectures rely on our town for supplies. There are even hunters sent by high-ranking officials in the mountains!"

Supplying so many Prefectures...

Chen Sansi took the opportunity to ask, "Have there always been so many treasures here?"

"Not exactly,"

the innkeeper replied, counting on his fingers, "To tell you the truth, it’s only been in the past year. Valuable treasures in the mountains and the sea nearby have been growing increasingly plentiful. Our little shop is packed daily; these Jianghu heroes come specifically for a taste of something fresh."

"How about it, would you like to try some General Crab or Cow Horn Fish?"

Looking at the saber hanging from Chen’s waist, he continued, "You look like a great hero from the Prefecture, perfect! Eating our Beast Meat will greatly assist your Martial Arts."

"Innkeeper, you can’t fool anyone with just smooth talk,"

Chen Sansi pretended to object, "Without seeing the goods with my own eyes, how can I judge their quality? Besides, once it’s cooked and served as dishes, you could charge whatever price you wanted, no?"

"No problem, follow me, esteemed guest!"

The innkeeper agreed readily, found a server to mind the shop, and then led them to a neighboring mansion.

There, in the spacious courtyard filled with iron cages and water tanks, resided all sorts of Exotic Beasts—a dazzling and countless array.

Inside the mansion, several Meridian Passage experts and a Mysterious Phenomenon were present.

Indeed.

With such immense benefits revealing themselves, it was no longer the local commoners’ turn to pick up bargains. These people appeared to be high-ranking officials or Sect members from Nan Xu, including the inn’s Boss, who now likely held an esteemed identity.

Exotic Beasts in vast numbers.

Even Chen Sansi, an experienced hunter, was impressed by the sight; each one was a top-tier supplement, invaluable treasures in Dasheng that otherwise could not be purchased with money, essentially priceless resources.

That such a multitude had appeared in a small town of Nan Xu was no wonder why so many Immortals were drawn to this place.

Where there’s something abnormal, there must be a demon at play.

This situation contrasted starkly with the Luotian Mountain Range, where Poisonous Beasts emerged endlessly while here, Exotic Beasts were emerging in droves. Was there a connection between the two?

Chen Sansi observed with his "Qi Observation Skill," and his gaze quickly fixed on a red-hued sea fish. The Qi flowing within this fish differed from the pale blue of other Exotic Beasts’ Qi; it was a profound shade of blue.
