Chapter 195 My Inn!
After a day of traveling at full speed, when the sun was about to set, the carriage finally entered Anyang Town outside the Dark Forest.
Anyang Town is not big, with only about a hundred households. However, among these hundred households, two-thirds run inns, and the remaining one-third also run shops and do other businesses.
The reason is simple, because Anyang Town is the habitat closest to the Dark Forest. There are many monks and merchants coming and going every day, and they all revolve around the natural treasures in the Dark Forest.
The Dark Forest is one of the eight forbidden areas in Xuantian Realm, ranking sixth.
Not only that, it is also the place with the most refining materials in Xuantian Realm. Top-quality refining materials are often discovered, and therefore, it is famous in Xuantian.
However, opportunities and crises coexist, and it is full of dangers, but compared to other forbidden areas, the risk factor is much lower.
Especially recently, several top-grade refining materials have been discovered in succession, attracting the cultivators of the Xuantian Realm.
Every practitioner who enters the Dark Forest wants to try his luck, fantasizing that good fortune will fall on his head.
Although it was already evening, the streets were bustling with people coming and going, and the sound of discussions was everywhere, making it very lively.
These people can be roughly divided into three types. The first type is the monks who have just arrived. They will rest in Anyang Town for one night and enter the Dark Forest early tomorrow morning.
The second type of people were those who had just come out of the Dark Forest and came to Anyang Town to rest. Each of them was in a dishevel and had more or less blood on their bodies.
As for the third type, they are some opportunistic vendors and forces who engage in business.
"Have you heard? Recently, someone found a piece of obsidian on the outskirts of the Dark Forest. This is a top-quality material for forging high-quality spiritual weapons. If obsidian is incorporated into the refining of a spiritual weapon, the sharpness of the spiritual weapon can be increased by as much as twice."
"Is this true? That person is so lucky! I'm so envious!"
"Of course it's true. However, he didn't keep it for himself, but sold the obsidian. It is said that he sold it for 100 million Xuantian coins!"
"No way? No way? Why did you sell so much? I remember it was 50 Xuantian coins half a year ago! How come it suddenly doubled!"
"I heard that the buyer is from Tianxuan Pavilion. They are the real sponsor and have plenty of money. It is said that they have been collecting a large amount of refining materials recently. Therefore, more and more monks have come to the Dark Forest to try their luck during this period."
"I see. Looks like we have to leave early tomorrow..."
"..."
In the carriage, Wu Yuying shook Xue Wuran's arm and asked puzzledly.
"Master, are we coming to the Dark Forest to look for materials for refining weapons?"
To be honest, Wu Yuying was still a little moved when she heard the discussions of the passing monks.
You know, she has the Treasure Hunting Mirror of All Worlds on her. Once the treasure hunting mirror is out, the location of the top-grade refining materials will be revealed and she can get them easily.
Although Wu Yuying is very rich, she will never complain about having too much money. Who knows, she might be able to trigger a task from the system, which is like killing two birds with one stone!
"No!" Xue Wu Ran shook his head and explained, "Master wants to take you to the depths of the Dark Forest for training!"
"Deep... deep is it a little too deep? Master, let's test the waters outside first! My disciple's current strength is only at the Golden Core Stage..." Wu Yuying muttered to herself and said in a low voice.
"Ying'er, if you are so afraid of death, you might as well go back now! I will ask another disciple to come here!" Xue Wu Ran frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, oh, oh, don't worry! I'll go, isn't it okay for me to go?" Wu Yuying rolled her eyes and said quickly.
Afterwards, Wu Yuying got off the carriage and began to look for an inn. However, after searching for a long time, she found nothing as all the inns outside were fully booked.
In desperation, Wu Yuying went inside to check. If she couldn't find a room, she would have to spend the night in the carriage.
Driving the carriage all the way inside, after Wu Yuying's unremitting efforts, they finally found an inn with vacancies at the innermost part of the town.
This inn has two floors, with eight rooms upstairs and eight rooms downstairs. Currently, there is only one vacant room upstairs.
The shopkeeper said the room was a single room and there was only one bed in it.
"Haha, God is really helping me!" Wu Yuying was overjoyed. Isn't this the opportunity?
For this reason, Xue Wu Ran didn't say anything. It was already completely dark, so they could only make do with it for one night.
After paying the money, the two were about to go upstairs when an arrogant voice suddenly came from the door.
"The man upstairs and that little girl, stop right there. I've already reserved your room. Go find another room!"
"I'm drunk. Why are there so many people seeking death these days?" Wu Yuying's face changed and she looked back.
Five big men in yellow robes with long swords on their waists came in from the door. Each of them had a ferocious look on his face and there was still undried blood on his body.
A faint smell of blood soon filled the inn.
"The Five Evil Mad Blades!" Someone in the inn whispered their identities.
"Hurry up and leave. These five guys are desperate criminals. We can't afford to offend them."
"My wife, I just thought of a clever idea. It's very noisy here. Let's go back to the room and discuss it."
"That's great, my husband. After ten years, I have finally waited for this day..."
"..."
Therefore, the monks on the first floor of the inn did not bother to eat, and one by one they got up and went back to their rooms. However, there were a few monks who did not move, but instead watched the current situation with interest.
"Five people in the Jindan stage! The leader is at the third Jindan stage!" Wu Yuying frowned and used the Qi-gazing technique to see clearly the cultivation levels of the five people.
"Master, what should I do... There are too many people and I can't defeat them." Wu Yuying rubbed Xue Wuran and said in a low voice.
“What are you looking at? You’re just at the first level of Golden Core. Why don’t you get out of here right away!” The leading big man glared at her.
"There are only five of them. If you can't beat them, it means your skills are inferior to theirs. I have to consider finding a new disciple." Xue Wu Ran glared at Wu Yuying and said lightly.
"I……?"
"Master, how can you do this? Look carefully. Each of them has higher cultivation than me. I will definitely be bullied by them." Wu Yuying's face turned dark and she said bitterly.
"No need to say more. Your master knows that you have unique skills, which are more than enough to deal with these five people. If you are really bullied, just fight back. Could it be that all the unique skills you learned went to the wild boar in the back mountain?" Xue Wu Ran said bluntly, then threw down another sentence and walked upstairs.
"If you can't win, you'll have to spend the night in the carriage!"
Wu Yuying: "Alas, Master, you are so cruel and heartless!"
"Hey! You pretty boy, who told you to go up there? Get down here right now!" The big man said with a stern look in his face and a bad tone.
"Sir, I will return your money. Why don't you find another place..." The shopkeeper had to come out at this time and looked at Xue Wu Ran with an embarrassed expression.
After all, he is just an ordinary person who is just trying to make a living.
Compared to Wu Yuying and the others, the shopkeeper was more afraid of those five ferocious-looking men. If he offended them, he would not be able to run his inn.
Maybe his life would be in danger, so he knew what was more important.
"Don't worry, he can handle it." Xue Wu Ran smiled at the inn and pointed at Wu Yuying.
At the same time, a voice came into Wu Yuying's mind.
"Don't do it in the inn, lead them out, I will be watching your performance upstairs!"
After listening to what Xue Wu Ran said, the innkeeper slowly retreated doubtfully. To be honest, he didn't think highly of a little girl like Wu Yuying.
"Got it, Master. You just stay upstairs and watch the show!" Wu Yuying said quickly.
Xue Wu Ran nodded with satisfaction and walked upstairs.
"Hey, pretty boy, did I let you go up?" The big man's face changed and he shouted angrily.
“Hey, hey, hey, why are you yelling? How dare you insult my beloved master? I’ll sew your mouths shut.” Wu Yuying pointed at the five people with a ferocious look on her face.
At this moment, Xue Wu Ran, who was walking upstairs, stumbled and almost lost his balance.
"You little bitch, you're looking for death!" The big man's face changed. He pulled out the long knife from his crotch and rushed towards Wu Yuying.
Besides him, the other four big men followed closely behind, drew out their long swords one after another, with fierce looks on their faces, and surrounded Wu Yuying.
"Hey, let's fight one on one if you dare! What kind of man are you if you bully a girl like me and gang up on me?" Wu Yuying's face changed and she pretended to be weak.
"Hmph! Why should we fight you in a one-on-one duel when we have more people! You don't want to run away, do you?" The big man snorted coldly and said lightly.
While speaking, he never stopped and was getting closer and closer to Wu Yuying.
"Run away, you big-headed ghost! Are you stupid? You destroyed my inn, where should I live?" Wu Yuying grabbed a pair of chopsticks on the table next to her, injected spiritual power into it and threw it at the five big men.
Then he left a few words and disappeared on the spot.
"Five big fools, I'm waiting for you outside."
Innkeeper: "??? When did this inn become yours..."
"Go out and kill him!" The big man swung his sword and chopped off the oncoming chopsticks. He roared and rushed out of the inn first.
"Yes, big brother!" The other four big men responded and followed behind aggressively.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the door collapsed. The door, which was originally not big, was ruthlessly destroyed by five people.
The remaining monks in the inn also stood up one after another and walked outside to watch the excitement.
So, the innkeeper was the only one left in the inn.
He climbed up from under the counter tremblingly, looked at the shattered door on the ground with a sad face, and sighed with his head raised.
"Oh my god... I just repaired the door yesterday... Is it easy for me..."
