The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

"Is the border of the Demon Realm ahead? I heard that it is even more desolate and lonely than the Western Desert. Even migrating birds are unwilling to stop by."

"The demons are cruel and bloodthirsty. Who would be safe if they caught us? Who dares to stay?"

After flying for ten days, the 100-man adventure team finally arrived at the legendary border of the Demon Realm, where few people had ever been, and landed with a sense of sympathy. Although they were still in the realm of the cultivation world, there was no guarantee that there might be demons coming and going, so it was better to keep a low profile.

"The story about the Cave Inn has spread like wildfire, but I don't know if it's true or not. I think it's probably fake." The young disciple from Lingxu Sect said arrogantly, "If it were true, wouldn't the Demon Realm have taken it for themselves? Why would they be so generous to accept cultivators from all over the world?"

"It's an inn, and it's open for business, so it's natural to welcome guests. As long as they can afford it, it doesn't matter who goes there," the Tianjian Sect disciple replied bluntly.

"Isn't it?" The disciples of Sunset Valley nodded.

Because of the friendship between the leaders of these two sects, disciples will take care of each other when they are away from home without being reminded by their masters.

The disciple of Sunset Valley continued, "A retreat like ours would take at least three to five days, and at most three to five months. How could we afford it? It is obvious that those who can live here to practice are not ordinary cultivators."

After hearing what he said, the disciples from other sects also agreed:
"Indeed, once you encounter a bottleneck, it is not something that can be overcome in one or two nights."

"It seems that the person behind the construction of this cave inn is not an ordinary cultivator. At least his formation is very impressive."

"As long as he's not a demon, it doesn't matter who he is."

"It's definitely not the business of the demons. The demons have always been tyrannical, so how could they come up with such a business strategy?"

As they were talking, the group had already passed through the dense forest on the border of the cultivation world.

I thought I would see a desolate scene like the Western Desert, but unexpectedly, I saw a lingering mist and lush greenery. I could vaguely see a group of buildings with white walls and black tiles on the mountainside, but if I tried to see them clearly, they were blocked by the lingering white mist.

Everyone was dumbfounded: "..."

The spiritual energy here is no less than that of the base camp of any sect in the world of cultivation.

And they are just opening it wide to welcome guests? Why don't they set up a mountain protection formation to cover it? Aren't they afraid of attracting evil-minded people to attack the city?
After all, one can feel the vigorous and rich spiritual energy even when standing on the periphery, let alone the core area.

No wonder there are such rumors. If you practice in such an environment, what bottleneck can’t be broken through?

"Wrong, wrong! Who said there is no mountain protection formation?"

A disciple who was good at formations murmured in disbelief:

"What we see before our eyes is the mountain protection formation!"

"Impossible? This is so real."

"In the ancient formation I studied recently, there is an article that specifically talks about the mountain protection formation that uses real scenes to set up virtual scenes - the virtual and the real complement each other, and the real destroys all the virtual. Unfortunately, my comprehension ability is not enough, and I can't comprehend it yet..."

"..."

The other disciples did not believe it and went forward to check, but they found that they really could not find the entrance to the mountain. The closer they got to the foot of the mountain, the thicker the fog became, and they could not tell east, west, south, or north.

At this moment, they heard the ethereal sound of bells, and then a passage suddenly opened up on the dead end of the mountain wall, just like any secret realm they had experienced in the past.

Monks gradually walked out of the passage in groups, looking satisfied:

"I hadn't been able to break through the bottleneck for ten years, but I was able to get through it after living here for ten days. The Dongfu Inn in Xiaoyao Town really did not let me down!"

"Did you grab the watermelon? The big one with black and green skin, it tastes really good! The juice is full of spiritual energy, even more than the Lingbao Tea that Lingxu Sect always talks about!"

"I didn't get the watermelon, but I did get some peaches. I left two for later."

"Did you buy it at the grocery store, too? When was it put on the shelves? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Hey, I came here a month earlier than you. When I first arrived, the grocery store had peaches on the shelf. I grabbed three and tried one. I couldn't bear to eat the other two."

"I think the limited-supply braised food at the grocery store is the best! Although the spiritual energy is not as strong as that of fruits, it tastes really good!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I like that too! When I'm not practicing, I go to queue up every day. Unfortunately, there are too many people buying it. It all depends on luck whether I can buy it!"

"I really envy those monks who have settled in Xiaoyao Town. They can live here permanently. Unlike us, we have to leave when the time is up."

"Isn't it..."

"Alas, it's a pity that the qualifications for settling down here are too harsh. One must be a homeless poor person who has been abducted and tortured by the evil cultivators. Who can do this? I would like to be abducted and tortured, but the evil cultivators would not look down on a grown man like me!"

"When the settlement policy is relaxed, I will definitely buy a residence here and live here permanently."

"Who isn't!"

"..."

The adventure team of a hundred people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is this Xiaoyao Town really that good? It makes these casual cultivators not want to leave?

However, they didn't have time to think about it carefully, and they had to rush into the mountain while the passage was opened.

There is an unmanned sentry box at the entrance. Every time a person passes by, the gate will make a "beep" sound, and then the black gate will spit out a mahogany nameplate with their faction and name engraved on it.

Everyone who received the nameplate was shocked: "How did they know our identities?"

System pretending to be security check: “…”

In the eyes of this system, you are just like people without clothes on. There is nothing to be surprised about.

It's a pity, isn't it!

After getting the heart blood promised by the Demon Lord, he still couldn't fly away from this world and return to his interstellar home. In order to get a few more drops for experiments, he had to stay here to work. Is it easy for him?

These disciples entered Xiaoyao Town with their nameplates in their hands with trepidation, feeling that their every move was exposed to the eyes of the owner of Xiaoyao Town, so they dared not explore anything.

But the town is really prosperous!

There are all kinds of shops lined up one after another, among which the grocery stores have the most customers. People queuing up are crowded together, as if they are rushing to buy some goods.

"The buildings and layout here are very different from what we saw outside the mountain. It shows that Brother Chen's analysis just now is correct! What we saw outside the mountain is indeed a mountain protection formation." A disciple of Sunset Valley sighed.

"What do we do next?" someone asked.

The leading disciple hesitated for a moment and said, "Ask about the Dongfu Inn."

Although they did not dare to explore recklessly, the purpose of their master sending them here was to find out whether the Cave Inn could really help cultivators break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation.

However, when they found the reception hall of Dongfu Inn, they discovered that reservations had been scheduled for half a year later.

Everyone was dumbfounded: "..."

What should I do?
"Oh! Are there any disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect or Sunset Valley among you?" The receptionist at the reservation hall glanced at the nameplates on the chests of several disciples and suddenly became very enthusiastic. "Excuse me, excuse me! Wait a moment and I'll make arrangements for you!"

He held the jade token that looked like an intercom in his hand and called the manager of the Cave Inn: "Reserve sixteen caves for use."

Then he looked at the confused disciples of the Sky Sword Sect and Sunset Valley and said, "Everyone can go in now. Go in through the VIP entrance. Someone will meet you inside."

"Why can they go in while we have to wait for half a year?" Disciples from other sects protested in dissatisfaction.

Among them, the disciples of Lingxu Sect were the most angry.

They are the best in the hundred-man adventure team. No matter in cultivation or master, they are better than others. This Xiaoyao Town that came out of nowhere is so shortsighted that it actually looks at Tianjian Sect and Sunset Valley differently. I am so angry that I am almost laughing!

Disciples of Tianjian Sect and Sunset Valley: Actually, we don’t understand it either! We are still confused!
Receptionist: "I'm sorry, this is the instruction from the head of our Xiaoyao Sect. The reserved cave is only open to disciples from the Tianjian Sect and the Sunset Valley. Oh, Lingxu Sect also has a quota, who will you send in?"

"..."

A quota?
This is how you get rid of beggars!
All the disciples of Lingxu Sect, who had the largest number of participants, were so angry that their faces turned red.

If he hadn't kept in mind the task assigned by his master and hadn't been frightened by the nameplate that was spit out when he entered the gate, he would have taken action long ago. How could he have endured such humiliation?

As disciples of Lingxu Sect, they rely on the strength of their sect and are very prestigious wherever they go. How could they have ever encountered such treatment today?

"There is only one spot available. It's up to you whether you want to check in or not. Have you made up your mind?" the receptionist urged. He was busy and didn't have time to accompany them in silence for a long time.

"..."

Finally, the leading disciple checked in reluctantly and went in to experience the mystery of the Cave Inn.

Xu Yin: I gave you Lingxu Sect a quota because you took advantage of your sect during your soul recovery period. Otherwise, do you think you would have a place? (End of this chapter)
