Chapter 2586: Chapter 2586: A Guest with an Odd Habit

Wyatt Barnes stayed at the tavern for half a day and listened to a lot of conversations between the drinkers.

However, he then realized:

During the half-day at the tavern, he didn’t learn much valuable information.

No one mentioned what he urgently wanted to know!

"Of course... The things I want to know are quite basic. And these people are either the indigenous people of the heavenly realm or immortals who ascended to the heavenly realm long ago. Naturally, they wouldn’t mention those basic things to enlighten someone like me who just ascended to the heavenly realm."

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes no longer planned to continue wasting time in the tavern hall and directly called the attendant, "Attendant, get me a quiet private room."

He thought of other ways to gather information.

"Sir, the minimum charge for our tavern’s private rooms is ten inferior-grade immortal stones. You are alone..."

The attendant started to introduce while thinking of persuading Wyatt Barnes that he didn’t need a private room alone.

However, before he could finish speaking, Wyatt Barnes interrupted him, casually tossing a handful of inferior-grade immortal stones onto the table, "The excess is for you."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Seeing at least twenty or thirty inferior-grade immortal stones on the table, the attendant’s eyes lit up with excitement. After collecting the stones, he respectfully showed Wyatt Barnes into a private room.

He also specifically found an exceptionally quiet private room for Wyatt Barnes as per his request.

"Sir, would you like to order any food?"

After receiving Wyatt Barnes’ ’tip,’ the attendant became more enthusiastic in his attitude towards Wyatt Barnes, almost calling him ’Lord’ with flattery.

"No rush for food... I have a few questions I want to ask you, which might take you a while."

Wyatt’s eyes flashed as he spoke straightforwardly.

This was the alternative method he thought of for gathering information.

To ask this tavern attendant in front of him and try to extract from his mouth everything he wanted to know.

"Sir, what would you like to ask?"

The attendant asked with a smile.

"If I’m not mistaken... You should be an indigenous person of this Spiritual Heaven, right?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

He had noticed earlier that this attendant wasn’t even a ’Heavenly Immortal.’

Thus, there was only one possibility:

This attendant was an indigenous person of this Spiritual Heaven.

Earlier, when still in the secular realm, Wyatt Barnes heard from the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal ’Wally Sanders’ of the Sanders Mansion about the indigenous people of the heavenly realm. And learned from Wally Sanders that:

The indigenous people of the heavenly realm are actually the descendants born in the heavenly realm by immortals who ascended to it.

This is why the indigenous people’s cultivation might not have even reached the ’Heavenly Immortal’ level because, for them, there’s no such concept as ’ascension,’ having always lived in the heavenly realm from birth.

Moreover, since they are born in the heavenly realm, every indigenous person in the heavenly realm can be said to have favorable conditions, and their cultivation speeds are far more exaggerated than those from the secular realm.

The reason for this is the abundance of spiritual energy levels in the heavenly realm compared to the secular realm.

Additionally, the various cultivation resources available in the heavenly realm are far superior to those in the secular realm.

In this context, unless one is a complete fool, their cultivation speed won’t be slow.

"Yes."

The attendant nodded in response.

"I want to ask you... In the area surrounding ’Bloodshade City,’ where is the best place for cultivation?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

At the moment, his mind was set on quickly enhancing his strength, so he hoped to find an excellent cultivation environment as soon as possible and train there.

A good cultivation environment greatly influences the progress in cultivation.

Of course, he also had self-awareness.

With his current strength, staying in the Bloodshade City area was fine, but venturing further might entail unknown dangers...

After all, the heavenly realm is filled with powerful beings, and there are countless entities even stronger than him!

If he rashly left the Bloodshade City area, his current strength would face significant risks.

In the past, it didn’t matter much to him to take risks.

But now, he felt there was no need to take unnecessary risks.

Currently, he had too many attachments, and if something were to happen, it wouldn’t just affect him; it would also affect his wife, family, and friends.

"Since the guest asks, you’re not from Bloodshade City... In our Bloodshade City area, the best place for cultivation is undoubtedly our City’s Lord’s practice chamber in the Main Mansion, where a ’Spirit Gathering Array’ is set up, directly connected to the ’mines’ core’ of the two largest immortal stone veins near our Bloodshade City, making the spiritual energy there incredibly dense and terrifying!"

The attendant spoke eloquently, "Next, it would be the camps of the commanders and Centurions of the Black Dragon Army and Army of Silver Sea Dragon... Their camps are closest to the ’mines’ core’ of the immortal stone veins, and combined with the formation of spirit gathering arrays, they securely lock the spiritual energy there."

"Then, there’s the Golden Serpent Guards’ cultivation area inside the City’s Lord’s Main Mansion, located near the practice chamber exclusively for our Bloodshade City’s City’s Lord."

While discussing, the attendant showed a hint of dread and seriousness in his eyes when mentioning the ’Golden Serpent Guards.’

As if the Golden Serpent Guards were an extremely fearsome entity.

"What are the Golden Serpent Guards?"

Wyatt Barnes asked curiously.

"The Golden Serpent Guards are the City Lord’s close guards, responsible for protecting the City Lord and his family... Unlike the ten-thousand strong armies like the Black Dragon Army and the Army of Silver Sea Dragon under the City Lord’s command, the Golden Serpent Guards number only a hundred, but each one is a powerhouse."

With a heavy expression, the waiter said, "It’s said... the weakest among the Golden Serpent Guards are all Golden Immortal level existences!"

"The weakest... are all Golden Immortal level existences?"

Upon hearing the waiter’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but secretly gasp.

It’s worth knowing that even the Centurion from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon he interacted with earlier had not yet achieved Golden Immortal status...

And now, this waiter at the tavern tells him:

The Golden Serpent Guards next to the Bloodshade City City Lord, the weakest are all Golden Immortals?

"Doesn’t that mean... even the Centurion of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon doesn’t measure up to any of the Golden Serpent Guards? Even the Centurion of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon isn’t qualified to join the Golden Serpent Guards?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Naturally."

The waiter said unsurprisingly, "Not to mention that the Centurion of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon doesn’t have the qualifications to join the Golden Serpent Guards... Even if someone is strong enough, it’s not easy to join the Golden Serpent Guards."

"It’s said that to join the Golden Serpent Guards, it requires not only meeting the strength standards but also other demanding conditions... If one cannot satisfy those demanding conditions, even with the right strength, there’s no way to join the Golden Serpent Guards."

The waiter continued.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

At that moment, he also learned from the waiter the best places for training environments in the surrounding areas of Bloodshade City and what they were.

The City Lord’s private training chamber held the best environment for training.

Yet, he also knew that wanting to train there wasn’t realistic.

Unless he had the strength to defeat that Bloodshade City City Lord and seize the training chamber in nearly a manner of snatching food from a tiger’s mouth.

Besides the City Lord’s private training chamber, the remaining places are where the leaders and Centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon and Black Dragon Army reside, as well as the training ground within the City Lord’s Mansion for the Golden Serpent Guards.

"Seems... quite tricky."

Wyatt Barnes secretly smiled bitterly.

"Apart from those three relatively good training places I mentioned, another two relatively good training places are other places in the City Lord’s Mansion and the camps of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon and the Black Dragon Army."

The waiter supplemented.

After speaking, before Wyatt Barnes could speak, the waiter glanced at the private room’s door, "If you don’t have any other questions, sir, I’ll leave now... If I don’t leave soon, the manager will surely be angry, possibly even withholding my salary for this month."

"I have quite a few more questions to ask." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Just as the waiter wanted to leave, Wyatt Barnes raised his hand and tossed out an Immortal Stone.

"Middle-Grade Immortal Stone!"

When Wyatt Barnes threw the Immortal Stone, the waiter scrambled to catch it, his face full of excitement,

Knowing his monthly salary was only thirty Lower-Grade Immortal Stones.

And that one Middle-Grade Immortal Stone is equivalent to a hundred Lower-Grade Immortal Stones, more than three months’ salary.

"How many Lower-Grade Immortal Stones can one Middle-Grade Immortal Stone exchange for?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

He tossed out one of the stones from the less abundant pile inside his Storage Ring, already guessing it was a "Middle-Grade Immortal Stone."

"A hundred."

The waiter instinctively responded.

After answering, he realized, and his gaze toward Wyatt Barnes became somewhat peculiar...

After all, one Middle-Grade Immortal Stone being equivalent to a hundred Lower-Grade Immortal Stones isn’t just common knowledge in Spiritual Heaven, but it’s common knowledge across all celestial dimensions.

And the person before him, doesn’t know?

"Maybe... this guest is just asking for fun..."

Soon, the waiter couldn’t help but think.

However, following that, as Wyatt Barnes asked one common knowledge question after another, the waiter cooperated by answering while feeling very puzzled.

"This guest... seems like a ’Ascender’ who just ascended to Spiritual Heaven?"

Of course, as soon as this thought arose, it was forced down by the waiter.

Because he felt it was impossible.

Not to mention Ascenders from the Ascension Pool near Bloodshade City, after ascending, they’ll be taken by the Army of Silver Sea Dragon or Black Dragon Army to serve in one of the camps...

Even if they don’t serve, it’s unlikely they can easily produce so many Immortal Stones!

An Ascender who has just ascended to the celestial dimensions, even if they achieved ’Golden Immortal’ status, it’s unlikely they could gather so many Immortal Stones before knowing these series of common knowledge.

Finally, he only thought that the guest in front of him had a peculiar penchant for ’asking despite knowing’.
