This was originally a small city, but because the various sects continuously sent people here, the streets in the city were already crowded with people. However, it was still very orderly, perhaps because there were cultivators present, there wasn’t much havoc.

Shen Ying and the others only realized upon entering that there weren’t only disciples of Dawning Pill Sect around, disciples of many other sects were present too. In the west of the city, there were many houses built using spells, and many mortals were in queue, waiting to check in. Lonemoon could not help but get some sense of the atmosphere of modern flood control and disaster relief. It was unexpected that the relationship between the sects and mortals of this little world was rather harmonious.

Lonemoon decided to first head to the Scattered Cultivators House to find lodging. The reason why they identified as itinerant cultivators was firstly because it was more convenient and secondly, itinerant cultivators was the most well-informed. And Scattered Cultivators House was an organization of itinerant cultivators, he had already gotten the information a few days ago on the spirit boat. It was a place specially meant for all itinerant cultivators of the sects to receive and issue various missions. From finding rare herbs to hunting spirit beasts, there were all kinds of missions. So itinerant cultivators gathered there, it was best to head there to get information.

As he had found out the location beforehand, they did not spend too much time to find the place, it was all cultivators coming and going at the entrance. Once they stepped in, a lady looking like a steward turned around.

“Fellow Daoist this way… huh?” She stopped midway, looking blankly the two people who walked in, seeming to be stunned for a long time.

“Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist!” Lonemoon called out several times.

“Ah! Ah?” The steward then came to her senses and quickly led them in. “Two fellow Daoists, this way please, are you here to issue a mission or accept a mission?”

“We’ve just started practicing cultivation not too long ago, we would like to get lodging here.” Lonemoon replied.

“You are an itinerant cultivator!” That person was even more shocked.

“All three of us are.” Lonemoon nodded.

“Three?” The steward faltered and swept another glance at them before she caught sight of Shen Ying right at the back. As if she’d thought of something, she nodded in understanding. “I see, then I think you’d need to wait for some time.” The steward pointed to the crowd inside and said, “Today is the day the missions in our hall is renewed, so we’re busier.” With that said, she thought for a moment and led them to a table at the side to sit down.

They followed over and settled down, unsure if it’s because they were new faces, the inside that had been bustling earlier quietened down a lot. Most cultivators were turning back and looking at them.

There were many people in the hall, but oddly, most were female cultivators, only a handful were males with concealing array formations set up around them.

Lonemoon wasn’t too bothered, instead, the steward that had welcomed them earlier seemed to be very curious. She asked while pouring the tea, “I see that both of you have already perfected Foundation Establishment phase, you two must be extraordinarily gifted. Why didn’t you join a sect but became itinerant cultivators?” As she spoke, her gaze seemed to be uncontrollable as it kept moving onto Chef.

“We are used to being free and cannot stand restrains, so we became itinerant cultivators.” Lonemoon replied.

The steward frowned. No one knew what came to her mind, but she suddenly urged, “It has always been difficult for itinerant cultivators to practice cultivation, if young masters want less trouble, it’ll still be better to join a sect.” With that said, she even gave Shen Ying who was eating her fruit beside her an unexplainable glare that also came with some blame.

Shen Ying was speechless. Meow meow meow?

“Many thanks for your reminder.” Lonemoon smiled politely then continued to ask after some thought, “By the way, before we entered the city, we saw many mortals seeking refuge here, claiming to have encountered the ‘Fallen Night’ disaster.”
