The evil woman cultivates immortality, and the whole clan offers sacrifice to the heaven

"We have learned the rules. From tomorrow on, we will be assigned to the courtyards of the young masters and young ladies, starting from the lowest level of menial work."

Zhou Tong pondered for a moment and said, "If we work hard and are smart, and win the favor of the young master and young lady, we will definitely have a place in Tiandao Academy."

"It's easy to say, but those young masters and young ladies are surrounded by servants who are good at observing words and expressions. How could they see us?"

Li Yuanyuan frowned slightly and expressed a different opinion.

"I think it would be better to spend more time on cultivation. Maybe the content of the assessment is related to the level of cultivation."

Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Li Yuanyuan and spoke in an unkind tone.

"Don't you understand the current situation? We have practiced hard for ten years, but maybe our results are not as good as the magic pill they casually gave us! What kind of practice is that?!"

Li Yuanyuan was unwilling to be outdone, "What else? Why don't you just stop practicing and learn to be a good servant? Wagging your tail and begging for mercy all day, waiting for the master to be in a good mood and give you food?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Meng Wan hurried to smooth things over.

"What the senior brothers and sisters said makes sense. I think that we should do our duty and try to please the young masters and young ladies, but we should not fall behind in cultivation."

Hearing this, Li Yuanyuan and Zhou Tong each snorted coldly, but stopped arguing.

Meng Wan coughed lightly, "Consul Tang said that we have a day off today, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Li Yuanyuan shook her head, "I want to practice, so I won't go out."

Zhou Tong also said, "We are all Wu family slaves now. Although the consul said that we are allowed to go out, it is better to stay here and not go anywhere."

Meng Wan was a little speechless, "Okay, I'll go out by myself."

Meng Wan went through the small door, left Wu's house, and walked on the street.

There were a constant stream of people coming and going on the road, and most of them were in the Jindan and Yuanying realms.

Occasionally, one can encounter a few cultivators whose aura is as deep as the ocean, most of them are in the legendary state of transformation.

Only the children on the roadside and some teenagers are still in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Feeling one powerful breath after another, the Heart-Eating Bug trembled.

"Master, what the hell is this place? It's so dangerous. I want to go back to Xuanyin Sect, wuwuwu."

Although the Netherworm Queen did not speak, she also revealed an uneasy feeling.

It felt that if the great monks' spiritual senses took a few more glances at it, it might be discovered.

Meng Wan was calm and walked openly on the street, facing the occasional strange looks from the monks on the street.

She had actually come into contact with people from the upper realm a long time ago.

The Netherworld Worm Queen was snatched by her from a person from the upper realm.

However, that person claimed to be a member of the Jiang family, but his cultivation was only at the pitiful Jindan stage.

Most likely he was abandoned, or he offended someone and was exiled to the Canglan Realm.

Meng Wan walked through one street after another. Everything in the city was in order.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined in her life that the Nascent Soul cultivators who were so high and mighty in the eyes of countless people were, here, just ordinary beings.

From time to time, convoys of cars flew across the sky, and even the birds pulling the cars were at the Nascent Soul stage of great perfection.

Meng Wan took a deep breath, feeling both absurd and natural.

This is the "upper bound".

As long as you stay here and practice step by step, you can successfully cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

If she had not chosen the third path.

Instead, she chose to stay in Xuanyin Sect as an elder, or go to the border to expand the territory. Perhaps she would have to take a detour for decades or even hundreds of years.

No, according to the Wu family's criteria for selecting domestic slaves, those over fifty years old are not accepted.

If she missed this opportunity, even if she practiced in the Cang Lan Realm for tens of millions of years, she would not be able to overturn the sky above her head and would not be able to see the real world.

Is there another realm above the “upper realm”?
Meng Wan had no answer. The people of Canglan Realm were like fish and shrimp living in a pond.

I'm used to living in a pond and never feel that it's too small.

Until one day there was a heavy rain and the water level rose, washing these fish and shrimps into the sea.

Only then did they realize how small the world they once thought was.

The pond is too small, and the fish will not grow beyond a certain size.

Only the vast and boundless ocean can give birth to a more brilliant life.

Meng Wan walked towards a bustling teahouse, chose a seat by the window and sat down.

The tea waiter came over quickly and handed over the price list. "Sir, what would you like to order?"

Meng Wan glanced at the price list and found that the cheapest spiritual tea was priced at two top-grade spiritual stones per cup.

"Just have this."

"Okay, take a seat, it will be brought to you right away."

Meng Wan's arrival was like a drop of water merging into the sea, without attracting anyone's attention.

Everyone was drinking tea and talking.

"The Wu family is indeed a prestigious family. They have hundreds of cave worlds alone, and their other wealth is countless. It is really enviable."

"This kind of thing is something that ordinary people like us cannot envy. We should think about how to earn more spirit stones and send our children to Tiandao Academy."

"My ancestor broke through to the fusion stage some time ago. Maybe one day, when the opportunity comes, he will be noticed by the Wu family and go to take care of the cave."

"Haha, when the time comes, don't forget to help me."

Everyone chatted about this topic for a few sentences, and soon changed the subject and talked about the latest news in Tiandaoyuan.

The waiter came over in a hurry and served Meng Wan the spiritual tea, "Sir, your tea is ready."

Meng Wan picked up the spiritual tea, took a sip, and was speechless.

The tea leaves were bland and tasteless. The tea soup was not sweet at all but rather astringent, far worse than the tea she had drunk in the Canglan Realm.

I guess the reason why this tea is so expensive is not because of how good it is, but because of the location.

Meng Wan got up, left the teahouse, and walked through many places in the city.

It was not until late at night and near the Wu family's curfew that he returned to his residence through the small door.

"How is it? What's the situation outside? How is it different from our Canglan Realm?"

Li Yuanyuan lived in the same room with Meng Wan. When she saw her come back, she immediately stopped practicing and asked curiously.

Meng Wan shook her head. "It reminds me of a sentence in a strange book I read when I was young: 'Nascent Souls are as numerous as dogs, and Transformed Spirits are everywhere.'"

Li Yuanyuan was dumbfounded, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Meng Wan nodded, "Not an exaggeration at all."

"So with your level of cultivation, you haven't been bullied by anyone, right?"

Li Yuanyuan said a little nervously.

"The rules in the city are very strict. Not to mention fighting, even petty theft is rare."

Li Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but then felt a little confused again.

"Since there are so many Nascent Soul cultivators in the upper realm, why did the Wu family bring us out of the cave heaven?"

Meng Wan sighed, “Although this world is vast, the life span of cultivators is long and the resources are limited.

The resources produced in the cave can be supplied to the Wu family, and we are also part of this 'resource'." (End of this chapter)
