Ye Tian stayed at the Residence of State Duke of An for two days before bidding farewell to the Emperor of Da Xia and Ouyang Zongheng. Right now, Ouyang Zhao controlled the entire army of the Da Xia Empire, so he also stayed in Yan City. Even though the Emperor of Da Xia and Ouyang Zhao had repeatedly asked Ye Tian to stay for a period of rest, he didn't refuse.

Ye Tian left Yan City and headed north. According to the map, the closest route to the Northern Region was through Ying Prefecture's Xinan County. Traversing the Thousand Li Swamp was the northern region.

Ye Tian rode his Three Eye Poisonous Wolf towards Xinan County according to the markings on the map. Along the way, he passed by a few counties of Da Xia Empire. Ye Tian discovered that not only was the Da Xia Empire a simple and honest country, the Da Xia Empire's people also loved to help others.

Three days later, Ye Tian finally arrived at the border of the State of Yue. In order to not attract the attention of the people there, Ye Tian changed his appearance and disguised himself as a noble. Ye Tian continued to head north. Since he was dressed like a Japanese person, his journey could be considered as smooth.

Half a day later, they arrived outside of Xinan County. Looking around, the city wasn't grand at all. However, the city guards were all tall and big, wearing large chainmail armors. Standing in front of the city gates, the soldiers were beating and kicking the women who entered the city. Some of the more beautiful women walked past, and some of them even went up to touch the women in the city.

"Heh, this place is truly a barbarian territory. It hasn't been enlightened yet." Ye Tian sneered.

Seeing Ye Tian riding in on his Three Eye Poisonous Wolf, the soldiers first shouted for him to stop. However, when they saw Ye Tian's clothing and the attire of a noble, they lowered their heads to welcome him into the city.

Ye Tian simply ignored the expressions of these city guards. Moreover, the two sides of the road were filled with paupers from the Japanese side, as if they were on the verge of death. As soon as they saw Ye Tian riding the Three Eye Poisonous Wolf over, they all stood up and began to whisper something in the language of the heavens, probably asking Ye Tian to give them some alms.

Ye Tian frowned when he saw this. Although he hated the people from the Japanese side, they did indeed look quite pitiful. At that moment, a fat middle-aged man walked over and started to beat the crap out of the beggars around Ye Tian.

After a while, the fat, middle-aged woman said to Ye Tian, "Hello, Sir. I am Hong Er, the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Destiny Inn in Xinan County. This is the first time you have come to Xinan County. You don't have to bother with these lowly commoners. Go rest for a while in our shop."

Ye Tian laughed after hearing that, "Hehe, how do you know this is my first time in Xinan County?"

"Hehe, this lowly person is a businessman. Usually, this is the first time that the adults in our county and counties are surrounded by these lowly commoners. However, those who come a few more times will know that as long as these lowly commoners beat them up, they will leave on their own." Shan Kou Hong Er laughed.

"Heh, then lead the way." Ye Tian laughed.

Ye Tian followed Shan Kou Hong Er and walked on the streets of Xinan County. Everywhere, naked Japanese were seen begging for money, while the well-dressed Japanese were facing the paupers. Looking at the desolate market, Ye Tian finally understood why Ying Country had been plotting against the Da Xia Empire all this time. For these barbarians, the Da Xia Empire was a paradise for robbing and plundering.

After walking for a while, they reached a place that had Heaven's Will Inn written on it in Chinese. "Hehe, esteemed lord, this is our shop. Please follow me." After saying that, Yamaguchi walked in.

Ye Tian followed Shan Kou Hong Er into the so-called inn. He found that the facilities of the inn were quite good, but there were not many guests inside. The waiters were all dozing off on the counter.

"Your inn is so deserted. You don't even have guests, yet you bring me here?" Ye Tian asked.

"Sigh, master doesn't know that our inn is the best inn in Xinan County. However, our county in Ying State is rather poor, so there aren't many people that can stay here. Furthermore, we only receive nobles like you." Shan Kou Hong Er explained. Following which, he walked over to the counter and gave the child, who was napping, a fierce slap to the face, and continuously cursed something in his native language.

Following which, Yamaguchi Hongshuang walked in front of Ye Tian, nodding his head and bowing as he said, "Hehe, Sir, I've already ordered some people to prepare a room for you. Please come here and register."

"There's no need to register. This is for you. Take me to the guest room. Just don't disturb me." With that, Ye Tian threw a gold ingot to Shan Kou Hong Er.

Seeing this, Shan Kou Hong Er said joyfully, "Yes sir, please follow me."

Ye Tian brought the Three-eyed Poison Wolf with him as they entered a room with a number plate on it.

After sending Yamaguchi away, Ye Tian took out the map and carefully looked at it. Although he only needed to pass through Xinan County, Xinan County had a county governor and an army. There might even be cultivators inside, so Ye Tian came to the inn to inquire about the situation.

"Innkeeper, who is the person who came today?" To act in such a generous manner? " The child couldn't help but ask when he saw Shan Kou Hong Er beaming while holding the gold ingot that Ye Tian had given him.

"I don't know. He isn't willing to register, but he should be from the Imperial City. Otherwise, how could he be so generous?" Yamaguchi said casually.

"Since you're from the Imperial City, you must be a fat sheep. Shopkeeper, do you want us to …?" The child made a throat slitting gesture.

"Hmph, you better not think too much. Don't you see that the person's mount is a white wolf? "Clearly, that person is a cultivator. It's best if we don't provoke these people." Shan Kou Hong Er snorted coldly.

"Hehe, storekeeper, why are you so confused, we can't do anything, but the mayor can do it. If the mayor knows that a cultivator fish is coming to our Xinan County, he would definitely be happy to do it, and when the mayor gets something from a cultivator, we'll get that person's gold, isn't that beautiful?" The child chuckled.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Sigh, it's better off. I'm not sure about this. If that person really has a big background, we won't be able to make it out of it."

"Aiya, Shopkeeper, this is meat that's in the mouth, are you really not going to eat it?" If not for the fact that the wife of the prince was the daughter of the Imperial Advisor, even His Majesty would not dare to offend her. The prince had already sent the prince to the Imperial City, and if there is really something that the lord can take responsibility for, then what are you afraid of? " The waiter continued to advise.

"Mm, you are right. "How about this, you go to the City Lord's Mansion now and report this to the City Lord. If the City Lord has intentions, then we will cooperate with him. If the City Lord has no intentions, then forget it, after all, these nobles are not to be offended." Shan Kou Hong Er said after thinking for a while.

"Hehe, Shopkeeper, this humble one will handle it right away." The child ran out.

After a long while, the little boy ran back and hurriedly said to Yamaguchi Hongshuang, "Shopkeeper, there's news from the mayor. He asked you to beat around the bush and see if that person was really a fat sheep. If that's the case, the mayor will send someone to fight him tonight."

"Hur hur, that's easy to handle. I'll go right now." With that, he walked towards Ye Tian's room.

Ye Tian, who was currently studying the 'Sacred Heart Scripture', heard a knock on the door. He unwillingly opened it and asked, "Didn't I say not to disturb me if there's nothing else?"

"Haha, Milord, you misunderstand. This little one does have a treasure for you." Shan Kou Hong Er said with a big smile on his face.

"Is there a treasure for me? The shopkeeper must be joking. I'm staying here, yet you want to give me a treasure? " Ye Tian asked.

At this moment, Shan Kou Hong'er fished out a mid-grade spirit stone and said to Ye Tian, "Hehe, my lord should be a cultivator. I have a spirit stone that I can sell to my lord, as long as my lord can pay the price."

Ye Tian looked at the spirit stone in Yamaguchi Hong's hand. It was obviously a low quality spirit stone. Ye Tian smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, please leave. I don't like the low quality spirit stones in your hand." Ye Tian acted as if he was sending off his guests.

When Yamaguchi Hong Er saw this, he rolled his eyes and said regretfully to Ye Tian, "Sir, this is a mid-grade spirit stone. You don't even have the slightest interest in it?" After saying that, Shan Kou and Hong'er walked out.

After seeing Shan Kou leave, Ye Tian turned to the Three-Eye Poisonous Wolf and said, "Hehe, Xiao San, why do you think the Japanese people want to sell me that mid-grade Spirit Stone?"

"You're asking for money. That guy saw that your master threw out a gold ingot at random. He must have thought that your master was a fool." The Three-Eye Poisonous Wolf answered.

"It can't be that simple, can it? Where did the innkeeper get the mid-grade spirit stones from?" Ye Tian asked in confusion.

"Hehe, Master, why don't we go and catch that guy and ask?" The Three-eyed Poison Wolf chuckled.

"Sleep. I just want to get to the northern region as soon as possible. I don't want any unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, which month or year will I be able to reach Savage Forest?" Ye Tian snappily said.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Ye Tian didn't want to think about it. Thus, he continued to close his eyes and meditate on the Sacred Dao of the Heart Sutra. Knowing that Ye Tian was a cultivator, HongEr did not bring food for Ye Tian.

Seeing Shan Kou, Hong Er, walk in, Ye Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper. I have something I would like to ask you. I hope you can enlighten me."

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Feel free to ask your excellency if there's anything you need." Shan Kou Hong Er said with a simple and honest look.

"I want to know, how many cultivators are there in Xinan County? What was his cultivation? I came out to learn more about it. If I have the chance, I can exchange some insights with my fellow daoists. " Ye Tian lightly said.

"So that's how it is. However, there don't seem to be many cultivators in Xinan County. They are all gathered at the City Lord's Mansion to serve the City Lord. As for the specific cultivation level, it's not something this little person can know, haha." Yamaguchi replied.

"Concentrated at the City Lord's Mansion? "Hehe, then the City Lord must be unable to cultivate it." Ye Tian laughed.

Let me tell you, the master of Xinan County is named Shang Cun Zhengxiong, he is actually the illegitimate son of the prince of the village in the Great Yue State. Hehe, because the wife of the prince is too powerful, I did not dare to let him stay in the capital, so I ended up in this remote Xinan County. In reality, the prince is here to protect the lord. Shan Kou Hong Er explained.

This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. By the way, I want to go to the Thousand Mile Swamp, but I don't want others to know that I've come to Xinan County. Do you have a way for me to cross the border without the soldiers of Xinan County discovering me? Ye Tian asked.

"Sir, why are you going to the Thousand Li Swamp? [You must know that the miasma is poisonous there. It is extremely dangerous.] Yamaguchi asked.

"That's none of your business. If you have a way, all of this is yours." As he spoke, Ye Tian took out a few gold ingots and placed it on the table.

"No problem, no problem, just leave it to me." Shan Kou Hong Er said as he looked at the gold plate on the table with gleaming eyes.

"Then you can go and make the arrangements. I'm preparing to leave tomorrow." With that, Ye Tian stopped speaking. When Yamaguchi saw this, he hurriedly put away the gold ingots on the table, bowed, and left.
