381: Colorful Cloud City

Bai Mo listened to the other person’s words, speechless, but since he was asking for a favor, he could only remain silent.

“Come, come! How about this: you treat me to some wine, and I’ll explain it all to you properly!” The passerby poked his finger and said to Bai Mo.

Bai Mo was silent for a moment: “Farewell!”

“Hey, hey, hey! Alright, alright! Ugh~ Can’t even get a free drink!” Seeing Bai Mo turn to leave, the passerby quickly called out, lest he not only miss out on the wine but also the joy of ‘recommending’ to someone.

Under the passerby’s incessant chatter, spitting, gesticulating, and emotional storytelling, Bai Mo finally understood the situation of Caiyun City.

Caiyun City was indeed a city of heritage.

It was also a very special city, as it was founded and gradually developed by the first Caiyun City Lord.

Moreover, she had turned it into a city-type sect!

In other words, Caiyun City was actually a power! A sect!

Becoming a disciple of Caiyun City was also quite different from typical sects.

Typical sects are divided into handyman, outer, inner, and true disciples.

Each level is distinct.

But Caiyun City had none of these.

At the very least, its members worked in Caiyun City’s city guard or yamen.

It was not quite like a sect that only focused on cultivation and contributing to the sect.

It was more like being ‘within the system’ with ‘official positions’.

The overall operation was a city management model.

And the highest-ranking sect leader, who was also the Caiyun City Lord, was essentially the ‘emperor’ in Caiyun City.

And because of good management,

the entire Caiyun City had prospered under the management of successive Caiyun City Lords, and the people lived very comfortably, well-fed and well-clothed, with spare money to do what they wanted and various forms of entertainment.

Moreover, Caiyun City was still slowly expanding.

Many ‘wandering commoners’ came admiringly, including the natural population growth over time.

And because of this model, Caiyun City had abundant ‘talent’ reserves.

The number of disciples also accumulated over time.

City guards + ordinary guards.

Yamen’s Celestial Master constables + ordinary constables.

It was the most harmonious place between cultivators and ordinary people.

Bai Mo nodded, this place was indeed very magical.

He hadn’t expected such a place to exist here.

Lin Zifeng: “This is indeed worth learning from!”

As someone from a similar world, Lin Zifeng had the deepest understanding here.

Yi Xin: “Indeed! Such development, at a glance, feels like it can be long-lasting and prosperous! If it can proceed smoothly, with the world’s push, and the right timing, geographical advantages, and human harmony, it might even ‘unify the world’!”

Bai Mo: “Unify the world? That’s too difficult! In this world, unifying the world is harder than ascending to heaven! However, if it truly reaches that point, this world could at least reach Level 4! Maybe even push towards Level 5!

If this world unifies, with the passage of time, Level 4 is definitely achievable. After advancing to Level 4, it might even be able to aim for Level 5. Although the time might be very long, at least it can climb step by step. How many worlds don’t even have the chance to climb!”

Yi Xin: “That’s true!”

Clarissa: “Hmm! Indeed! I agree with this point!”

Clarissa’s world was also similar; after all, in some sense, it was also ‘unified’.

Although there were still various empires, the Grosster Empire was already ‘leading’, coupled with Clarissa’s existence.

The Norman Ya World was indeed developing rapidly.

Perhaps it could advance again in a few decades.

Don’t think a few decades is long; for a world to advance, thousands or tens of thousands of years might not even increase its progress.

These all require a combination of various factors.

The same applied to the worlds of everyone in the group.

For a world to advance, it was not a simple matter.

Yi Xin: “What if we help this world achieve this!”

Lin Zifeng: “The source points earned would be astronomical!”

Clarissa: “Your idea is good, but how many years do you intend to spend to realize it? Moreover, this isn’t something one or two people can achieve by simply rampaging with martial might to ‘unify’ this so-called world.”

Yi Xin: “Indeed! But isn’t this just a wish! If it comes true, we’ll really take off!”

Lin Zifeng: “We can try, we really can try! Bai Mo! Go for it! You can also try. I’ll also see if I can go there. I need to ask around properly and search well.”

Bai Mo: “True, change as much as I can, earn as much as I can! But the problem is, where do I start to make changes? The current model of Caiyun City is quite mature, and the ruler is the Caiyun City Lord!

What am I? Am I supposed to go tell the Caiyun City Lord that I’m here to help her unify the world, regardless of whether she has that idea or not...”

Chen Mu: “Hahaha! Then Senior Bai Mo would surely be cut down!”

Ran Quan: “Indeed~ Thinking about it... hilarious~”

Bai Mo: “...”

Yi Xin: “Just give it a try. Anyway, our mission is truly just to go with the flow.”

Bai Mo: “Yeah! I’ll stay in Caiyun City a few more days. Oh right, about recruiting disciples, I’ll ask where that is in a bit and go join the fun.”

Lin Zifeng: “Go!”

Bai Mo’s ‘consciousness returned’ to reality, and seeing the passerby who had finished speaking, he smiled, thanked him, and then inquired about the location for recruiting disciples, deciding to join the fun tomorrow.

Bai Mo thought for a moment, if he was going to stay here, he would need to find lodging... So, the problem was.

He had no money!

“Hiss~ Let’s see what the currency of this world is...” Bai Mo arrived at an inn.

It was equivalent to a hotel, where one could dine and stay overnight.

“Are you here for a meal or a stay, esteemed guest?” A waiter came forward, smiling, and asked.

Compared to other places, Bai Mo could indeed tell that the common people of Caiyun City, regardless of their profession, were generally better off in all aspects, and the smiles on their faces were genuinely truer and more sincere, and they clearly had no worries.

Moreover, their physiques also seemed better than those in other places.

After all, they were well-fed and well-clothed, had no worries, and felt secure.

Unlike other places, if demon beasts attacked and the city’s garrison couldn’t hold them off, they would have to invite people from the sect... but they might be annihilated before help arrived.

Either they wouldn’t bother, or the ‘news’ wouldn’t even get out.

Of course, most sects would dispatch Stationed ‘Celestial Masters’ to towns within their jurisdiction, on a rotating basis.

But that only provided some assurance.

However, Caiyun City was different; the entire city was ‘within the sect’. Demon beast attack? Wouldn’t that be directly attacking a sect?

Demon beasts attacking a major sect... How many demon beasts are you? What strength? How many dishes did you eat? Just drinking and not even eating a single peanut? You’ve become like this!
