This cultivation world was never serious from the start.

Su Zhe and Chen Feng had already retreated outside the door.

I'm really not familiar with this person who didn't even make it into the top three of Tianwen.

To their surprise, Zhang Haizhu actually came out leading a slow horse, behind which was a carriage about ten feet square.

"Three thousand li? And just one nag?" Chen Feng asked.

"Otherwise what? You're still young and don't know how expensive things are these days. You have to save your money," Zhang Haizhu said matter-of-factly.

Seeing that Chen Feng was about to speak, Su Zhe quickly interrupted him, "It's okay, ten days is fine. I also want to see more of the local customs and culture."

As it turns out, Su Zhe's thoughts were exactly the same as his thoughts before his trip in his previous life.

Before the trip: I've already made the perfect itinerary! On the first day, I'm going to get up at 5 a.m. to climb Purple Mountain, and then hike to…

While traveling: The alarm clock is so annoying, ugh, it's already noon? Oh well, I'll order takeout first, and go out and explore this afternoon...

Before setting off: Ten days it is. It's a good time to see the local customs and culture along the way and learn more about the world.

After departure:

"Su Zhe, didn't you want to see the local customs and culture?"

Zhang Haizhu woke up the drowsy Su Zhe and asked.

"Hmm... I'll look into it this afternoon..." Su Zhe mumbled sleepily, then fell back into a deep sleep.

That night, Chen Feng woke up Su Zhe, who was still asleep, and excitedly pointed to the fiery clouds outside the window, "Look! Doesn't that cloud outside look like a long sword?"

Su Zhe rolled over, "Mmm, it looks just like it..."

Then he fell into a deep sleep again.

As the sun set, Su Zhe finally opened his eyes.

  

Looking at Chen Feng and Zhang Haizhu, who were now sleeping instead of cultivating, Su Zhe scratched his head.

"Huh, I don't remember being this sleepy on the main peak..."

Su Zhe sat cross-legged in deep thought.

Ultimately, he came to a conclusion.

It's all the tourism's fault!

This is how it was when I traveled in my past life, and I never thought it would be perfectly replicated in this life!

Since things have come to this, let's enjoy the night view...

Ten days passed quickly, covering a distance of three thousand miles. They encountered three cities along the way, but the three were focused on their mission and did not go in to rest.

The horse finally stopped when they finally reached Linshui City.

After galloping for ten days and ten nights, the rickety horse was so thin it was almost emaciated and no longer resembled a horse at all.

Su Zhe was kind-hearted. After untying the back carriage, he stuffed ten spirit stones into the horse's mane and told it to buy whatever it wanted to eat.

The three arrived at the east gate of Linshui City. After each person paid an entrance fee of one spirit stone, they arrived at the city where the mission was located.

"This city is too small," Su Zhe couldn't help but remark.

As far as the eye could see, the main road of Linshui City was barely wide enough for four carriages to pass through, which was far inferior to that of Tianwen City.

"After all, it's just a small town," Chen Feng said.

The three of them took a short walk around Linshui City and found that it was just an ordinary little town.

The city has a population of only about 100,000, but its commerce is quite prosperous, and the residents can be described as living in peace and contentment. Su Zhe even saw a hint of technology here.

Including the "light bulb," there are actually rudimentary streetlights in Linshui City at night!

"This doesn't look like a demonic cult..." Chen Feng frowned slightly and said.

"Hey, you can't say that. The Demonic Sect won't just openly show itself. The City Lord of Linshui City said that the Demonic Sect's spies were just testing us," Su Zhe said with a profound expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Haizhu immediately chimed in, "That's right, would a member of the Demonic Cult really come up to you and ask if you want to join?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a deep voice sounded from the side, "Brother, how about joining the Demonic Cult?"

The sound was so sudden that it startled Su Zhe and the others.

When the three of them turned around, they saw that a beggar had appeared next to them without them noticing.

The three exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with shock.

"You... can lead us to join the Demonic Cult?" Su Zhe asked with a hint of doubt.

"Of course! I'm currently undergoing the Demonic Sect's assessment; once I pass, I'll become a formal disciple!"

The beggar spoke up smugly.

After hearing this, Su Zhe turned around and was about to leave with the two of them.

I thought it was someone important, but it turns out to be just an intern.

"Hey, hey, don't go! I can introduce you to the higher-ups of the Demonic Sect!" The beggar quickly chased after him and grabbed Zhang Haizhu.

Zhang Haizhu's eyes lit up, and he made a move to lie down, but fortunately Su Zhe reacted quickly and grabbed him.

Now is not the time to demonstrate professionalism.

"Can you take us to see the higher-ups of the Demonic Sect?" Su Zhe asked with some skepticism.

"Of course!" the beggar assured, patting his chest.

Chen Feng found it unreliable. "That's what you say, but what makes you think you can help us?"

"Ahem, I'm not afraid you three brothers will laugh at me, but there are rewards for referring others to join the Demonic Sect. You get fifty spirit stones for each referral, two hundred for two, and if all three of you join, I can get five hundred spirit stones!"

The beggar gritted his teeth and revealed his purpose.

Su Zhe laughed upon hearing this. Oh, so it's a cult affiliated with Tencent?

"But it's settled! Even if all three of you manage to get in, I'll only give you each a maximum of... fifty spirit stones!"

After hesitating for a long time, the beggar gritted his teeth and said...

His greedy appearance reassured the three of them.

"Ahem, what are you saying, senior brother? If we could join the Demonic Sect, it would be the junior brothers who should be showing you respect. How could we possibly accept your money again?" Su Zhe coughed twice and said with a smile.

The beggar was taken aback by Su Zhe's words. "What did you call me?"

"Senior brother, once we join the Demonic Sect, won't you be our senior brother? Our guide!"

Su Zhe said with a smile.

"Hahahaha..." The beggar suddenly smiled.

Beside him, Zhang Haizhu had a sudden inspiration and quickly spoke up, "Senior Brother!"

"Hey! Hahahaha!" The beggar's face gradually gained confidence.

"Senior...Senior Brother..." Chen Feng gritted his teeth and shouted out three words.

"I'm here, hahahahaha..." The beggar's laughter was completely maniacal. "Don't worry! With my senior brother here, I'll definitely get this sorted out for you!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother." Su Zhe kindly slipped a spirit stone into the beggar's hand.

"Alright! Follow me! I'll take you to meet the higher-ups of the Demonic Sect!"

The beggar accepted the spirit stone and spoke smugly.

He led the three of them through a maze of twists and turns, and they somehow ended up in the most bustling "commercial district" of Linshui City.

"This is the Demonic Sect's stronghold, but whatever you do later, don't mention the Demonic Sect; call it the Holy Sect!"

The beggar stopped in front of a wooden building and spoke earnestly.

The three nodded in succession.

"Alright, I'll go see the Holy Sect senior first. You all wait outside," the beggar said, walking into the building ahead.

Su Zhe looked up and was surprised to see several large characters written on the wooden building.
