Myriad Insects City.
Compared to the na of this city, sowhat contrasting is that the inside of the city does not seem eerie or terrifying.
Instead, crowds bustle about, the streets are neat and wide, emanating a kind of mortal worldly liveliness.
Initially, this was just a gathering market at the mouth of Myriad Worm Valley, later as more and more people gathered, it gradually ford into such a city.
Myriad Worm Valley was happy to see this happen.
After all, they were just cultivators, not real immortals, impossible to completely detach from the mortal world.
“Braised gold-edge water turtle, shell off and ready to eat, one bite and oil flows from your mouth.”
“Fire-roasted blasters, big and fragrant!”
Lu Bai and Li Mu had not yet stepped into the city, but from beyond the city gate they already heard various selling cries.
Probably because it backs Myriad Worm Valley, the food sold on the street is almost all kinds of insects.
Although Lu Bai had no prejudice against eating insects, he indeed had little appetite for it.
After walking a stretch on the streets in the city, they also spotted quite a few Myriad Worm Valley cultivators; when facing mortal rchants, if they wanted to buy things, they obediently paid money.
If not knowing the real situation under Myriad Worm Valley’s rule, just seeing this bustling scene of traffic, one might really think the mortals in this place lived pretty well.
But in reality, the shops in this city were not sothing ordinary people could open.
Casually pick a shop
As for those shops selling spirit insects, magic tools, pills, and the like, it’s even more impossible for them to be opened by mortals. Even the sources of goods aren’t sothing ordinary people can obtain, so what is there to sell.
“Big Boss with the smiling face, what are we here for?” Li Mu finally couldn’t hold back his inner curiosity and spoke up to inquire.
“Didn’t I tell you?”
Lu Bai casually asked in return, then explained, “I want to do a social experint, planning to start with Myriad Worm Valley first.”
To tell the truth, he truly had no particular opinion about Myriad Worm Valley; it was purely because Myriad Worm Valley was the closest to him.
Lu Bai spread out his divine sense, covering the entire Myriad Insects City, and conveniently marked the cultivators in the city whose cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Stage or above.
Cultivators of this level are not many in the city either.
After all, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators have a lifespan of over a thousand years, and even in the most top-tier Great Sects, they can be considered core forces.
“Social Experint?”
Li Mu was completely baffled, feeling that this kind of vocabulary seed sowhat out of place in the world of cultivation.
“Follow .”
Lu Bai confird the objective and walked straight toward a luxuriously decorated building.
That was a shop selling pills and spirit insects. On the shop’s signboard, so suspended jade buildings faintly appeared, accompanied by clouds and mist, remarkably magnificent and beautiful.
From the situation he perceived, this shop, to put it in more comrcial terms, belongs to Myriad Worm Valley’s directly operated chain, with no middlen taking a cut.
The custors in the shop all have cultivation, not all Myriad Worm Valley cultivators.
To be precise, over seventy percent were cultivators from other immortal sects and so rogue cultivators.
Spirit Insects and insect dicine produced by Myriad Worm Valley are still very useful when cultivation is relatively low.
Moreover, there is no cost, raising is handed over to the mortals under one’s rule, Myriad Worm Valley only needs to provide so larvae.
Relying on this revenue thod, Myriad Worm Valley ranks among the wealthy ones even among the Immortal Sects.
“Two esteed guests, coming to my Immortal Gu Building, are you looking to buy sothing?”
As soon as Lu Bai and Li Mu stepped into the shop, a Myriad Worm Valley disciple enthusiastically ca forward to greet them.
No way around it, Lu Bai has too high cultivation, while Li Mu has not yet stepped onto the cultivation path and has no cultivation at all.
Therefore, this Myriad Worm Valley disciple responsible for receiving guests could not discern at all what their cultivation levels were.
Considering that normally no mortal would dare to tease them, this Myriad Worm Valley disciple’s first reaction was naturally to think that two big custors had arrived.
Lu Bai got straight to the point and said, “Can you take
to see the person in charge of your Immortal Gu?”
Hearing this, this Myriad Worm Valley disciple hesitated for a mont before inquiring, “Does the esteed guest know Steward Lai?”
“I don’t know him.” Lu Bai shook his head.
“Uh, that would be troubleso then. May I ask what business the esteed guest has with Steward Lai?”
“It’s nothing major. I’m preparing to have him notify your Valley Master. I have sothing to discuss with your Valley Master, and this matter concerns the life and death of your Myriad Worm Valley.”
Lu Bai spoke nothing but the truth throughout, yet it truly sounded absurd.
The smile on this Myriad Worm Valley disciple’s face could no longer hold, and they barely cupped their hands: “I have no authority to comnt on this matter. May I ask which sect your esteed guest hails from?”
“I should count as a Cultivator of Qingwang Sect.”
Lu Bai was not in a hurry either. In his perception, that Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from Myriad Worm Valley was still upstairs.
“Pfft~”
Soone let out a disdainful sneer.
All those entering the shop were cultivators, all with sharp ears and keen eyes.
Moreover, Lu Bai had not deliberately concealed the process of their conversation, so even without the intention to eavesdrop, they had heard most of the situation on their side.
“Little Kuai, can’t you see? This is a fool who thinks anyone can et the Valley Master of Myriad Worm Valley?”
“Qingwang Sect has offended so many immortal sects and is on the verge of destruction, yet they talk about sothing involving the life and death of Myriad Worm Valley. Haha, aren’t they saying the opposite?”
The movent here drew the attention of nurous cultivators in the shop, and many who were unaware of the prior circumstances curiously asked those around them.
Little Kuai’s expression turned a few degrees colder, but after all, this was a business open to the public, so they at least didn’t make a direct move: “Fellow Daoist, you’d better leave on your own.”
“Not right…” A disciple of Myriad Worm Valley who was tidying the shelves finally saw Lu Bai’s appearance and suddenly widened their eyes, revealing an incredulous expression.
So custors showed horrified expressions and hurriedly pulled their companions toward the exit: “Hurry and go, hurry and go!”
“That person, didn’t that person die?”
“Who? Who died?”
“Lu Bai, Lu Bai of Qingwang Sect, the supre expert of the younger generation who can contend with cultivators of the older generation.” The disciple tidying the shelves finally exclaid aloud, their voice sounding as if it was squeezed out from their throat, close to a low roar.
“What?! It’s him!”
Everyone in the shop were cultivators; even if they hadn’t seen Lu Bai, they had all heard of the events that occurred at this Dao Comncent Assembly.
Things like single-handedly killing over a hundred Deity Transformation Stage cultivators and triggering the becoming an immortal lightning tribulation—they couldn’t discern the truth of those rumors, but they could be certain that under a great reputation, it was hard to be a vain warrior; at the very least, he was not an existence they could casually mock.
Little Kuai decisively took out a sound transmission talisman to notify Steward Lai upstairs.
The next second, the rooftop of the immortal gu building was suddenly violently broken through, and that Steward Lai fled the scene as if escaping for their life.
Among the immortal sects, Nascent Soul Stage and above cultivators had the qualification to understand the truth of the Dao Comncent Assembly.
Therefore, Steward Lai was very clear that if Lu Bai had co in person, even if the Valley Master ca, they probably wouldn’t be a match.
With their own thin arms and legs, it was better to run first and talk later.
