After speaking with the middle-aged man for some time, Gu Chen had learned a lot about his current location.
The region he was in was called Oghara and had several forces residing within it; each force had a major city next to it, which they mainly communicated through.
There were sects, alchemy guilds, formation and enchantment guilds, Beast Tamer Factions, and Blacksmith groups.
There were over a hundred million people in Oghara, and the majority of them were ordinary people; only a small percentage had stepped into the path of cultivation, and the known strongest cultivators were at the Core Formation Realm.
They were mostly the leaders of the various forces in Oghara.
In addition to that, Gu Chen learnt from the middle-aged man that Oghara was located in a small sector on the far eastern side of the Taru Continent. There were several other regions like Oghara within this continent, and the overall power level wasn’t any better than Oghara.
But for the areas outside this sector, the middle-aged man didn’t know.
Gu Chen didn’t hold this against him; it was already impressive enough that an ordinary person knew this much, and the information had helped Gu Chen to understand where he was.
He was greatly relieved when he heard that he was somewhere in the Taru Continent. Gu Chen knew about the Taru Continent as it was one of the seven continents on the planet and naturally under the control of the Seven Realms Alliance.
Thankfully, Gu Chen was originally from another continent, and while he had been to the Taru Continent before, he wasn’t well known in this continent.
As for the location of Oghara. As far as Gu Chen knew, the Taru Continent was divided into several domains, and each domain had hundreds of sectors that were strangely as huge as countries back on Earth.
Oghara was one of the many regions in one of the sectors located in the far East of Tarun; he now knew why he wasn’t familiar with the place when he woke up earlier.
Cultivators above the Saint Realm usually didn’t care much about the regions at the edges of the domains because people there were usually weak.
Gu Chen was the same, and this was a good thing for him since the Seven Realms Alliance wouldn’t be able to sniff him for a very long time unless he purposely made an appearance!
While the middle-aged man was still saying what he knew, Gu Chen received a notification from the system.
...
(Ding! A Villainess has resolved a blood debt!
Villainess Feng Shuran has wiped out the members of the Dae Qu sect after receiving aid from you. Congratulations on good management; you have been rewarded!
Rewards: 500mp. Three mission cards. Eternal Youth Immortality Pill)
.....
Gu Chen looked at the notification in front of him without a change in expression. He wasn’t surprised that Feng Shuran managed to wipe out the sect even after they fled, mostly likely in different directions.
She must have her means.
What surprised him a bit was the appearance of the pill. While the Eternal Youth pill wasn’t very rare for powerful cultivators, the same could not be said for the immortality pill.
Master alchemists had spent thousands of years of their lives trying to create one, as time was the one thing that cultivators could not beat. Even though their lifespan would increase greatly every time they broke through, that would eventually come to an end once they reached the True Immortal Realm.
The best that Master alchemists have achieved was the longevity pills that could only increase one’s lifespan by a thousand years at most.
The immortality pill was different. As long as someone didn’t kill him, Gu Chen could live forever!
A small smile formed on the side of his face. He hadn’t even gotten the chance to worry about dying from old age in just a few decades and leaving the Bloody Rose behind, yet the system already solved the issue for him.
The system could very well be named the convenience system.
Gu Chen dismissed the notification and returned his attention to the middle-aged man who was currently talking about the various forces in Oghara.
"The Dae Qu sect is the strongest in Oghara because they had two Core Formation Realm elders, and their sect master was also a Core Formation Realm cultivator who was very close to the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, something happened, and he got into a fight with the leader of the assassin temple, the invisible killer!" The middle-aged man said as he took another sip.
Gu Chen found it interesting that he was talking about Feng Shuran. He didn’t bother telling the other party that the Dae Qu sect had been wiped out and kept listening.
"Turned out that the invisible killer was also close to the Nascent Soul Realm. She was able to kill the sect master of the Dae Qu sect, but this provoked the entire sect, and they went to war with the assassin temple.
Sadly, the invisible killer was the only Core Formation Realm cultivator in her temple. Under the attack of two Core Formation Realm cultivators and over a hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, the assassin temple was destroyed, and the invisible killer ran away.
Her fate is still unknown, and the Dae Qu sect is still searching for her." The man spoke while shaking his head.
By then, Gu Chen had finished eating and was now focusing on the other party.
"You seem very knowledgeable for an ordinary person," he said softly as he used a finger to flip the gold coin at the middle-aged man.
The other party caught the coin with sparkling eyes and laughed loudly.
"Young friend, when you understand the ways of wine, the wind becomes your best friend. Travelling a lot also plays a big part in it."
Gu Chen nodded silently and stood up. The woman who served him earlier still hadn’t returned to the bottom floor, but that wasn’t any of his business; he had already paid her for his meal, so Gu Chen proceeded to leave.
Immediately he did, several people in the inn stood up as well. Their eyes locked on him.
The middle-aged man noticed this and shook his head.
"Good luck on your travels, young friend. I have to go refill my gourd, hehehe." He said and left Gu Chen’s table, not planning to help out.
Not like there was anything he could do anyway.
Gu Chen’s eyes were calm as he looked around the inn. About five huge men had stood up and were currently waiting for him to step out so that they could follow him.
A small smirk formed on his lips. The weakness he felt earlier had disappeared after he filled his stomach; he didn’t mind stretching out a little.
With that thought in mind, Gu Chen didn’t hesitate and stepped out of the inn. However, the moment he walked out, someone flew past him and crashed into the side wall of the inn.
Bang!
The sound of collision rang out, followed by an arrogant voice that was oddly irritating.
"Hmph, a nobody like you dares to look at my woman? Kneel now and beg for forgiveness, then I’ll only break your legs and let you go."
Gu Chen "..."
