Chapter 267: Three Heads and Six Arms
When the middle-aged male cultivator spoke as if he knew many secrets, other cultivators in the inn cast curious glances his way.
The He Dao Sect, being a top large sect, held great appeal for these scattered cultivators.
Not to mention, the recently launched top-quality He Hua spiritual grains had everyone talking.
It is said that this type of spiritual grain has a high yield and is not difficult to cultivate, combining the quality of top-quality spiritual grains with the quantity of lower-quality ones.
Many sects were drawn to this spiritual grain, eager to get a piece of the pie.
Unfortunately, the He Dao Sect maintained strict control over this matter, often selling spiritual grains that had undergone special processing and could not be used as seeds for the next cultivation. This meant that, apart from the He Dao Sect, other large sects could not cultivate such spiritual grains and remained unaware of the secrets involved.
While the middle-aged male cultivator probably did not know the exact details, listening to gossip about such a large sect was extremely intriguing for everyone.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, the middle-aged cultivator’s face flushed slightly, as if he was enjoying the attention.
Another man at the same table with him couldn’t contain his excitement and urged,
"Wu Laoda, hurry up and tell us!"
"Yes! Don’t keep us in suspense!"
……
Ji Yang sat to the side, also feeling a bit curious.
Based on the discussions of the cultivators present, Ji Yang gathered that this type of He Hua spiritual grain was likely a product of his cultivation. He wondered how many spiritual stones the He Dao Sect had made from it.
However, Ji Yang did not mind this too much, as he had received a decent reward from the sect when he cultivated the spiritual grains.
Furthermore, spiritual stones were not something he needed too urgently.
While other cultivators required spiritual stones and other resources for cultivation, he had little demand for them.
Still, listening to everyone’s discussion made Ji Yang curious about whether his name had reached outside the He Dao Sect and how others evaluated him.
Seeing many cultivators with expressions of anticipation, the middle-aged man known as Wu Laoda no longer delayed. He set down his wine cup and slowly said,
"Hehe, it is said that this type of spiritual grain was refined by an outer disciple of the He Dao Sect named Ji Yang!"
"This person has extraordinary talent, with three heads and six arms, and a mouth like a grinding wheel! His belly is like a drum, allowing him to eat a hundred stones of spiritual grain in a day!"
"The reason for refining the spiritual grains was to extract spiritual energy from them, enhancing his cultivation level!"
……
"Hiss!"
"How terrifying!"
Many cultivators in the inn gasped in astonishment at Wu Laoda’s introduction.
Some questioned,
"Eating a hundred stones of spiritual grain—could he still be a cultivator?"
Wu Laoda snorted lightly,
"The geniuses of a large sect possess extraordinary physiques, so it’s perfectly normal for them to be a bit unusual."
Seeing several cultivators showing skepticism, Wu Laoda lowered his voice and continued:
"This matter is highly likely true; it was told to me by a relative who is an outer disciple at the He Dao Sect!"
"This concerns the He Dao Sect, so I ask you all to forget about it after hearing; you must not let it leak out!"
Seeing Wu Laoda speak so solemnly, the skepticism in many cultivators’ eyes gradually faded away.
Meanwhile, Ji Yang, who was listening intently to the middle-aged male cultivator’s story, had a face full of black lines.
Three heads and six arms?
A mouth like a grinding wheel?
A belly like a drum?
Ji Yang shot a cold glance at Wu Laoda.
At that moment, Wu Laoda also felt a chill breeze coming his way, causing him to instinctively tighten his clothing; why did the weather suddenly turn cold?
"Sir, your wine is here!"
Before Ji Yang could make his next move, the waiter placed a jug of clear wine on the wooden table in front of him.
Ji Yang casually filled his cup with Qing Zhu spirit wine but shifted his attention to other parts of the inn, hoping to gather more news.
After finishing his words, Wu Laoda took another big gulp of his drink and continued,
"Not only that, fellow friends, have you encountered any patrols from the Heaven Demon Sect today?"
Hearing Wu Laoda’s question, many cultivators shook their heads in response:
"Yes, we encountered them!"
"The exit from the city was quite strict today, and there were many more demonic path cultivators on guard!"
"Indeed, we don’t usually see Heaven Demon City so heavily fortified; I wonder what happened?"
……
Listening to other cultivators’ discussions, Wu Laoda wore a proud expression, remaining silent while his pleased demeanor clearly showed he was waiting for others to speak.
If the earlier secret had been mere gossip and the others were distant from the He Dao Sect, at most it was just an amusing story.
But now, all the cultivators present were in Heaven Demon City, making this matter immediately relevant to them, which piqued their interest significantly.
However, Wu Laoda seemed unwilling to continue; instead, he shook the jug of spirit wine and sighed lightly.
One cultivator observed this and quickly said,
"Waiter, refill Wu Laoda’s jug with the green bamboo spirit wine, put it on my tab!"
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Wu Laoda’s face.
While the green bamboo spirit wine was not as good as the Qing Zhu spirit wine, it still cost two spiritual stones!
Once the spirit wine was served, Wu Laoda continued,
"This news is even more secretive, so please do not speak of it afterward."
"Wu Laoda, rest assured; I won’t reveal a word!"
"Me too! Just say it, Wu Laoda!"
……
Assured by their promises, Wu Laoda adopted a more serious tone and began to elaborate:
"This matter concerns the Demon Spirit Ore mountain of the Heaven Demon Sect!"
"According to reports a day ago, a large number of cultivators escaped from that mountain, and one of them is the talented disciple from the He Dao Sect I mentioned before, which is why Heaven Demon City has been on high alert recently!"
Upon hearing this news, the expressions of the crowd changed dramatically, and they began to murmur:
"How is that possible? A talented disciple of the He Dao Sect wouldn’t take such a huge risk to come to the Heaven Demon Sect!"
"The Demon Spirit Ore mountain is not far from Heaven Demon City; could that be true?"
Through Wu Laoda’s comments, many cultivators discovered hidden information.
Though some questioned the truth of the information, a few wore expressions of caution mixed with excitement.
Faced with their doubts, Wu Laoda said no more, simply waving his hand:
"This news is just hearsay; it cannot be taken as truth! Fellow friends, just laugh it off!"
Listening to Wu Laoda’s words, many cultivators exchanged curious glances, their expressions shifting.
If this were true, they might find some opportunities from it.
Setting aside everything else, just the He Hua spiritual grains that talented disciple refined would be worth pursuing.
If they could capture that person and learn the cultivation method for the grains from him, wouldn’t their future cultivation paths be smooth?
Though the Heaven Demon Sect might look down on them, they were extremely eager for such spiritual grains.
After obtaining the He Hua spiritual grains, if they turned that person over to the Heaven Demon Sect, they might receive a huge reward, achieving two goals with one effort.
Such a great opportunity was hard for them to resist.
