SFS Chapter 21 God of Wealth Inn
Chapter 21 God of Wealth Inn
In the forest of ten thousand trees, a realm of life, endless wood-elemental true energy surrounded his body. Bathed in the forest streams, he slept in the heart of ancient trees. Year after year, for a full seventy years, he finally cultivated his divine skill to its ultimate perfection...
Ye Kang opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
My body has never felt so light, yet my strength has increased tenfold.
He opened the window, leaped onto the roof, stood at the highest point, and gazed into the distance, his five senses fully activated.
Instantly, all the noises and commotion from the surrounding streets became clearly visible to him.
"This is the Innate Realm. It feels completely different from before."
He was overjoyed and reached out to gather his inner energy.
The vigorous true energy of Yi Wood burst forth, exuding endless vitality. At this moment, Ye Kang felt that he had entered a completely new world of martial arts.
"No wonder so many people spend their entire lives pursuing the innate talent; this is what a true martial artist is like!"
Ye Kang jumped with great excitement, instantly leaping across an entire row of rooftops.
"With my current strength, even without using Flying Swallow Soaring Cloud, I could easily catch up with Dai Huanhuan."
He quickly circled Fusheng Gate, encountering countless martial artists along the way, but none of them could spot him.
Of course, he wouldn't dare go any further.
Within the imperial city, there are quite a few reclusive masters at the Innate Realm, but being too ostentatious is unstable.
After experiencing the power of the Innate Realm, Ye Kang returned home.
With such a significant increase in strength, the trip to Mengzhou should be much safer.
……
Day two.
After having breakfast, Ye Kang dressed himself, mounted his horse, and rode straight out of the city.
Princess Jiu is in Mengzhou, which is a long way away. Ye Kang dares not delay and would like to go there as soon as possible.
Although Consort Jing mentioned secret protection, Ye Kang didn't want to go through that trouble.
Upon seeing the Ninth Princess, we can simply bring her back; it's both safe and worry-free.
Five days later, Ye Kang, without stopping for a moment, changed ten fast horses along the way and finally entered the territory of Mengzhou.
As soon as he landed, he immediately took off the Imperial Guard's clothes, changed into his own black outfit, and carried only a sword.
After searching for a long time, we finally found an inn on the official road.
It is named the God of Wealth Inn.
Ye Kang concealed his aura, keeping his strength at a level of ordinary second-rate, and strode inside.
"Waiter, bring the wine!"
Ye Kang shouted, and everyone in the inn turned to look at him.
Many people looked at him as if he were an idiot.
The waiter pointed impatiently at the counter.
"The wine and meat are all there, go and get them yourself."
Ye Kang wasn't angry and went to pour the wine himself.
"I've always heard that Mengzhou is full of martial virtues and has countless martial artists. This time I've seen it for myself."
Ye Kang sighed.
This tiny inn has surprisingly gathered dozens of experts, including more than five top-tier masters.
Even the waiter was a top-tier second-rate expert; no wonder he completely ignored Ye Kang.
The group of people were gathered in the center of the hall, and some of them were making a fuss.
"The God of Wealth Inn promised a big delivery today, we've been waiting for so long, why isn't the food served yet!"
"Exactly! Call Jin Baobei out. I want to see what treasures she has that are worth sending invitations to so many heroes!"
A group of people started shouting and hurling all sorts of vulgarities, laughing and shouting all at once.
Ye Kang understood.
So this God of Wealth Inn is a kind of martial arts auction house! Looks like some great treasure will be unveiled today.
Ye Kang, who originally just wanted to come in and find out some information, immediately became interested, ran to the second floor, and found a good spot where no one was sitting down.
On the second floor, several tables were already occupied by experts. They were completely different from the rough martial artists below; each of them was elegant and handsome.
A man holding a folding fan was followed by two maids who massaged his shoulders and legs.
Upon seeing Ye Kang, he raised his wine cup across the distance and said, "This hero is a new face."
Ye Kang also raised his wine glass and said, "I am from Jiangping Prefecture, and this is my first time visiting Mengzhou."
The elegant young man smiled and said, "No wonder you dared to sit in that position. If I were you, I would leave now."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang merely took a sip of wine, showing no intention of leaving.
He then countered with, "What does the Fortune God Inn do?"
The elegant young man didn't try to persuade him further, but generously replied, "Naturally, it's a place to make money. It's one of the transit points for the martial arts world in Mengzhou. People often sell stolen goods and spread information here."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the young master pointed his folding fan.
“Jin Baobei is out. She is the proprietress of the God of Wealth Inn and one of the informants of Mengzhou.”
Ye Kang looked over and saw a glamorous woman dressed provocatively, draped in a semi-transparent red veil, walking out from below, waving a fan.
Suddenly, the whole audience fell silent.
"What's the rush, my heroes? When has my Jinbaobei ever lied to you?"
"Boss lady, stop talking! Bring out the main dishes! Everyone's getting impatient!"
"That's right, we came all the way from the sect, so please don't let us down!"
Gymboree puts his hands on his hips.
"Alright, I won't keep you all in suspense any longer. Bring out the food!"
She stretched out her jade-like hands and clapped them gently.
Two strongmen carried out a large two-handed sword.
"This is the Xunfeng Zhenlei Blade, forged from extraterrestrial thunder steel and incorporating a low-grade soul jade. When swung, it can unleash lightning, shatter mountains and break rocks, and is invincible."
As they listened to Gymboree's introduction, the group of experts below nodded in agreement, showing expressions of interest.
The handsome young man's face lit up, and he repeatedly exclaimed, "What a fine blade! I must take this blade!"
Ye Kang was not surprised by their performance.
That sword is indeed excellent. For a top-tier expert, it can greatly enhance combat power. Wielding this sword, one can even contend with a super-elite opponent.
Unfortunately, in Ye Kang's eyes, it was just scrap metal.
The pair of giant hammers belonging to Luan Xiong of the Giant Wolf Gang were of similar quality to this sword, and they were no different from tofu in the face of the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi.
Just as Ye Kang was getting bored, a group of people walked in from outside.
"The Thunder Blade of Xunfeng, I, Wang Hai, want it."
A dozen or so people wearing straw hats, dressed in black, and carrying large knives walked in.
The leader was a burly man, but his face was gaunt and sinister.
"It's Wang Hai from the Golden Saber Sect!"
"A top-tier expert! I heard he's been pursuing Gymboree, so it's not surprising he's here."
"What a pity, Wang Hai made his move, the knife has no chance now."
The crowd began to murmur among themselves, and each of them subconsciously took a half-step back.
The God of Wealth Inn is, after all, just a small inn. A top-tier expert here is already considered extremely powerful.
Wang Hai took off his straw hat, looked around, and suddenly spotted Ye Kang on the second floor.
Instantly, a chilling aura erupted, and a faint killing intent rushed straight towards Ye Kang.
Ye Kang was dumbfounded.
What did I do?
Why would you want to kill yourself?
At this moment, the elegant young man next to him raised his hand and said innocently, "I reminded you, the seat you are sitting in is Wang Hai's reserved seat."
Ye Kang was speechless.
This guy is clearly doing it on purpose.
At this moment, Wang Hai threw his straw hat directly at Ye Kang.
With a bang, the straw hat smashed through the railing.
Ye Kang tilted his head slightly, and his bamboo hat flew over instantly, embedding itself in the wall behind him.
Its power was so great that it was clearly intended to decapitate.
Wang Hai said coldly, "Those who do not understand the rules shall die."
