83: Entering the Shiwan Mountains

As time flowed, more and more people gathered here, and even cultivators at the late Deity Transformation stage appeared.

But this had no effect on Li Haotian; he continued to cultivate cross-legged in his original spot.

During this time, from time to time, news of the Luo Xia Merchant Guild could be heard from the people who arrived, showing that the Luo Xia Merchant Guild's development over the past ten years had gotten better and better.

Li Haotian believed that after he returned, a large amount of spiritual stones would be waiting for him.

On this day, everyone exchanged glances and looked towards the interior of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

In the center of the Ten Thousand Mountains, two powerful pressures emanated, causing the monsters on the path to the two major sects to flee, clearing two paths.

Li Haotian and others stood up one after another and walked towards the two paths that had just been cleared.

Many people knew that this was how it was every time the two sects held their grand competition, so they were all relieved.

Stepping into the Ten Thousand Mountains, Li Haotian felt an incomparably dense spiritual energy, at least three times denser than that of the Tiannan Cultivation World.

"Meow, what a comfortable feeling, it's great here."

Li Haotian said with a smile, "You'll know when I take you back to Luoxia Island, that's the most comfortable place."

Mu Mu nodded slightly; its intelligence was very high, and it naturally knew that the Luoxia Island Li Haotian spoke of was his home, and it also wanted to see it.

The others also quickly walked towards the two major sects; they did not dare to fly because the strong individuals from the two major sects had only cleared two paths, which did not mean there was no danger in the sky.

This was the Ten Thousand Mountains, where even existences above the Void Refinement stage resided, let alone that their strongest were only at the late Deity Transformation stage.

Perhaps fearing their pace was too slow, a teleportation array appeared not long after, guarded by two powerful cultivators.

Li Haotian looked over; the cultivation of these two people was actually at the peak Deity Transformation stage.

"As expected of Witchcraft cultivators, even the two guarding the teleportation array are at the peak Deity Transformation stage, just how strong are those two major sects?" Li Haotian thought to himself.

In fact, he didn't know that although the Ten Thousand Mountains were close to the Tiannan Cultivation World, they were actually rich in resources. The Witchcraft and Gu Sect sects occupied the vast Ten Thousand Mountains and enjoyed so many resources, it would be strange if they weren't powerful.

Li Haotian and the others weren't overly curious; sometimes curiosity killed the cat.

When they approached, the two Deity Transformation stage cultivators said, "Two Top-Grade Spirit Stone per person to enter the teleportation array."

Li Haotian and the others had no objections, but when Li Haotian was about to step onto it, a Deity Transformation cultivator said, "Spirit pets also require two Top-Grade Spirit Stone."

Li Haotian did not refute; this was their territory, so naturally, they had the final say.

After paying four Top-Grade Spirit Stone, Li Haotian stepped onto the teleportation array and began the transmission.

Spiritual light flashed on the teleportation array, and the few people instantly disappeared. When they reacted again, they had already appeared in a bustling large city.

This city was actually entirely filled with cultivators, but their cultivation methods were somewhat different from normal cultivation methods.

Li Haotian and the others did not hesitate at all and walked directly out of the teleportation array.

A Deity Transformation cultivator was waiting here. As soon as they walked out of the teleportation array, this Deity Transformation cultivator spoke, "To get an identity jade token, it's one high-grade spirit stone. Spirit pets also need one."

Li Haotian was somewhat speechless; after coming here, all the expenses were Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

Fortunately, he wasn't short of Top-Grade Spirit Stone; otherwise, he would have to exchange them with spiritual origin crystals, which would be a huge loss.

After paying the spiritual stones, Li Haotian and Mu Mu received their temporary identity jade tokens and then walked into the city.

With the identity jade tokens, Li Haotian and the others could move freely within the city and also enter and exit the various major merchant guilds.

This city was named Great Wu City, one of the three immortal cities in the Ten Thousand Mountains, owned by the Witchcraft sect.

The Great Wizard Commerce Association was the Witchcraft sect's own merchant guild, but it felt like the Witchcraft sect wasn't very friendly towards outsiders, so it was better to go less often.

The World Merchant Guild was said to be from the Southern Border Cultivation World. Being able to establish itself in Great Wu City was enough to show its strength.

The Central State Merchant Guild, from the Central State Cultivation World, was also a powerful existence.

There were also many shops and stores, most of which were established by Witchcraft cultivators.

Li Haotian hesitated for a moment, then first found a place to settle down. There was still half a month until the grand competition of the two major sects, so there was no rush.

Just as Li Haotian was thinking about where to rent a cultivation cave, a clear voice rang out.

"Senior, you've just arrived at Great Wu City, right? You only need ten spiritual stones, and Junior can take you to the place you want to go."

"Junior grew up in Great Wu City and is very familiar with Great Wu City."

Li Haotian looked towards the source of the voice and saw a little girl standing there prettily, looking at Li Haotian with some nervousness.

The girl quickly said, "Senior, if you think it's expensive, eight pieces will be enough."

Li Haotian said with a smile, "No need to be nervous. Let me ask you a question first. If you answer me, I will give you fifty spiritual stones."

The girl quickly said, "Yes!, Senior, please ask."

Li Haotian said, "Looking at your attire, you don't seem to be Weren. How do you live in this Great Wu City? I heard that Weren are very exclusive."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was some difficult question, but it turned out to be so simple.

"Senior, you may not know, although many Weren are quite exclusive, more Weren intermarry with outsiders. Although Junior is dressed like a Han person, I actually have a portion of Weren blood."

Li Haotian suddenly understood. Fifty spiritual stones appeared in his hand and flew in front of the girl.

A hint of joy flashed in the girl's eyes. She hadn't expected this Senior to actually keep his word.

Li Haotian could see the girl's cultivation; she was only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, her cultivation was not strong, and fifty spiritual stones was quite a lot for her.

"How about this, next you take me around and introduce me to the environment of Great Wu City, and I'll give you two mid-grade spiritual stones."

The girl said in surprise, "Yes!, thank you, Senior. Senior can just call this little lady Wenwen."

Li Haotian smiled and said, "Okay, Wenwen, let's find a place to stay first."

Wenwen quickly asked, "Senior, are you looking to rent a cultivation cave, or a regular residence?"

Li Haotian hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's find a regular residence. I'll only be staying in Great Wu City for more than half a month."

Wenwen nodded and said, "Then why doesn't Senior stay at my house? My house has a small courtyard that's empty, it's just a bit remote, and I'll only charge Senior one low-grade spiritual stone per day."

Li Haotian had no objection. Coming to Great Wu City, being unfamiliar with the place, renting a cultivation cave would be a complete waste.

Furthermore, after coming here, dealing with the strong individuals of the Witchcraft sect involved spending Top-Grade Spirit Stone. It was likely that renting a cultivation cave would also require Top-Grade Spirit Stone, which was very uneconomical for him.

Therefore, finding a random guesthouse to stay in was also quite good; one low-grade spiritual stone per day was very cheap.

Li Haotian said with a smile, "Then let's go to your house."

A hint of joy flashed in Wenwen's eyes. More spiritual stones were coming in, and she could buy elixirs to improve her cultivation again.

Li Haotian followed Wenwen to the outside of the small courtyard where she lived. Looking at the small courtyard near the corner of Great Wu City, his mouth twitched a few times. It was indeed very remote.

Walking into the courtyard, there were three houses inside. Both the small courtyard and the houses were very clean, and Li Haotian was quite satisfied.

Wenwen said, "Senior, you will be staying here for the next few days."

Li Haotian asked, "Then, may I ask where the young lady lives?"

Wenwen smiled shyly and said, "Senior, Junior can stay at my second uncle's house for a few nights."

Li Haotian couldn't help but frown and ask, "You're the only one in your family?"

Wenwen nodded and said, "Yes!, Senior, Junior's parents are both deceased, leaving only Junior."

Li Haotian nodded and said, "Alright, thank you."
