Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 152 Why does she call you "Mimi"?
"This is a type of Moonbeam Satin called Moon Silk. It is as light as floating clouds, as thin as a cicada's wing, and impervious to water and fire! When used with the Sea Spirit Pearl, it allows one to breathe freely underwater!"

Coral stammered as she introduced, "This is Sanyang Brocade. It gets its name from the fact that it takes three days to make a square foot in size, and it is therefore more precious."

Shen Yun's eyes lit up: "How much do you plan to sell them for? We'll take them all!"

Coral said somewhat awkwardly, "That's all I have. Next time, I'll bring more for you!"

Bai Chenxue said, "It's alright! We'll take them all. What do you want?"

Coral replied, "Change knives, all kinds of broadswords, medium knives, and small knives!"

"Hmm...this kind?"

Bai Chenxue took out a large machete from her backpack. It had a long handle and a hook-shaped blade. This was a custom-made machete that almost every player had, made by the blacksmith shop in Taiping Town.

This large machete is lightweight and agile, easy to use, and very useful for clearing weeds and bushes in the mountains and fields. It can even easily cut down some not-so-thick trees with one stroke, making it a must-have tool for players to clear paths and reclaim land in the wild.

The sudden appearance of the large machete startled everyone around. The mountain cat police officer, who had been squatting in the tree monitoring the safety of the area, and his newly recruited orange cat demon follower also jumped down from the tree immediately and landed next to the table where Bai Chenxue was.

Officer Mountain Cat rested his two front paws on the edge of the table, stretched out his body, and strained to raise his cat head. Under his black peaked cap, a pair of small, pointed ears, pressed down slightly, peeked out. His long whiskers trembled, and his cat face was serious: "Be careful not to use controlled weapons illegally in public places, or you'll be fined!"

Bai Chenxue restrained herself from the urge to "assault the police," but still explained in a low voice as if talking to a cabbage: "Don't worry, Chief Mimi, we're just showing the goods to the Quanxian tribe's customers! It's for business!"

"Yes, just a reminder!"

The mountain cat officer remained unmoved, seemingly accustomed to the strange way humans spoke to it.

As it spoke casually, it retracted its claws, shrank its body, and turned to walk on all fours, gracefully taking small steps as it weaved through the crowd, inspecting the security situation.

The orange cat following behind it was also wearing the same "uniform," except that it did not have the metal pendant that represented its "official" status—that magical device that could "connect to the internet"—hanging from its waist.

The orange cat demon was a minor demon in Taiping Town. It used to roam the streets and alleys, leading a group of cat followers to catch birds and mice for survival. It was well-liked by the townspeople, who would sometimes feed it.

It didn't even calculate how many hundreds of years it had lived, because when it was a cat it had no concept of time. After becoming a monster, it was preoccupied with how to support its large family of cat brothers and sisters, and didn't bother to calculate the years at all.

Even his cultivation has been somewhat neglected due to his efforts to support his cats; he only recently refined his horizontal bone.

With the increasing number of cultivators arriving in Chang'an, the number of ordinary people migrating there was countless, and the number of players had multiplied several times over. The Mountain Cat Officer alone simply couldn't maintain order in the entire city. Therefore, after discussing it with Wang Ergou, the Mountain Cat Officer searched high and low, visiting over a dozen nearby towns, before finally finding a few cat demons with decent cultivation levels to form the Chang'an City Guard.

This orange cat demon, who wasn't very fluent in human speech, was the weakest in the entire Chang'an City Cat Guard Brigade. It was always kept by Officer Mountain Cat so that it could have more contact with humans and at least learn to speak faster.

But... "Boss, why does she call you 'Mimi'?"

It seems better for this kid not to talk!
The mountain cat police officer couldn't help but show off his claws, giving the orange cat demon a cold look that made the orange cat shrink back before licking its paws and sitting upright next to a stone statue, wagging its tail and observing the bustling night market and crowd.

"Demon cultivator?"

Coral was quite surprised by the appearance of Officer Mountain Cat, and even more shocked to hear its conversation with Bai Chenxue.

Bai Chenxue introduced with a smile: "These are our police officers from Chang'an City! They're the so-called constables! They're responsible for the security of the entire Chang'an City!"

"Chang'an City? Is that the city?"

Coral pointed in the direction of the cluster of buildings not far away and asked.

"That's right! It's a city built by our Taiyin Sect disciples!"

Coral was still a little incredulous: "Yes, a city of humans?"

"of course not!"

Before Bai Chenxue could speak, the two players at the table next to them started talking.

"Although there are currently many humans in Chang'an City, including us players—oh, I mean the disciples of the Taiyin Sect! But Chang'an City doesn't belong to humans alone; it belongs to all intelligent races! Whether you're a demon cultivator or a human cultivator, whether you're an ordinary mortal or a true immortal or a god, you can all live in Chang'an City!"

The player proudly puffed out his chest and said, "We have quite a few demon cultivator 'civil servants' in Chang'an City!"

It was another bunch of incomprehensible words, but the general meaning was still easy to understand. The content of the speech left Coral feeling very confused and unfamiliar.

He wasn't unfamiliar with humans; most humans were inherently cruel and selfish. They would dig up their chosen settlements, slaughtering everyone, and then drive away, enslave, or slaughter all animals for food. The human cultivators in the merchant alliances and guilds who frequently traded with the Quanxian Clan were even more greedy and calculating! This was why the Xiling Clan was constrained; they couldn't even use the iron knives for cleaning fish and had to resort to clumsy fishbone knives!

When Shanhu first met Bai Chenxue, she specifically tested the two human cultivators and found them to be simple-minded and easy to deceive before she came to "scout" the place. But now, it seems that all the humans in this "Taiyin Sect" are a bit silly.

"Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts." Isn't this a saying put forward by your human race?

How come they are now living with demon cultivators who were always considered lowly, and they all look so smug?

"That's why we suggested you settle down in Chang'an," Shen Yun's voice rang in Shanhu's ear, like a tempting lure from a demon: "It's really great here! There's so much to eat and play, and players... cough, human cultivators who will do anything for a little favor! The cost of living is extremely low! Most importantly, all the cultivation manuals and various techniques in the city's library are free and publicly available! Everyone... and demons can cultivate! As long as you can learn it, you can learn whatever you want!"
