Chapter 2587

Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin scattered seeds in the courtyard first.

"What kind of medicinal herbs are these?" Zhu Zhibin asked curiously. He loved studying new things, but he knew nothing about planting.

Zhu Yanyi finished scattering all the seeds before speaking slowly. "They are honeysuckle. We can drink them as tea every day, so I planted a lot."

She clapped her hands, then used a cleaning spell on herself and Zhu Zhibin. "Let’s go for a walk."

Zhu Yanyi led Zhu Zhibin out of the courtyard. They didn’t even need to lock the door.

That was the benefit of courtyards in the cultivation world. You could set up various formations according to your will. Zhu Yanyi was a master of formations. She had set them up when she arrived and taught Zhu Zhibin how to enter and exit. It was impossible for others to come and go freely.

Their courtyard was located at the back of a street in the northern part of the area. After passing through an alley, they reached a main street.

Perhaps because the cultivation world had existed for so long, the streets had become rich and diverse. Zhu Yanyi had never been here before, but she had heard everything about it from the Emperor and Empress. Experiencing it herself felt different. It showed that the cultivation world was not static.

After walking for a while, Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin arrived at a shop. The hall inside was spacious.

"Zhibin, buy whatever you like. Sister will pay," Zhu Yanyi said.

Zhu Zhibin saw many things he didn’t know: ores, eggs, weapons, and books.

As a scholar, Zhu Zhibin liked books. He went over, looked through them, and picked one. "Sister, I want to buy this book."

Zhu Yanyi looked. It was a book introducing the history of the cultivation world. It cost one low-grade spirit stone.

After paying, she asked, "Do you want anything else?"

Zhu Zhibin looked around again and picked a folding fan.

Zhu Yanyi didn’t understand her. Why pick a fan instead of a weapon? But she didn’t care. Everyone had a connection with their weapon. Since Zhu Zhibin liked the fan, she bought it.

It wasn’t an immortal artifact, just a low-grade spiritual tool, but it suited Zhu Zhibin now.

"Let’s go to the second floor," Zhu Yanyi said. The first floor had the cheapest items. Better things were upstairs.

Zhu Yanyi brought Zhu Zhibin out mainly to let her feel the environment. They were just walking around. Going to the second floor had no specific purpose. But if she found something suitable for Zhu Zhibin, she wouldn’t spare money. Zhu Zhibin had plenty of spirit stones.

On the second floor, things were not displayed openly. They were in counters. Although people could see through the transparent glass-like material, everyone knew it wasn’t glass. It was a protective counter with anti-theft properties.

"Zhibin, look around. Buy what you like. Your brother-in-law gave me a lot of money. I haven’t used it all," Zhu Yanyi said, acting wealthy.

Zhu Zhibin laughed. "Sister, your husband treats you well. Don’t be a spendthrift wife."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "You don’t understand. Your brother-in-law hopes I spend money. But she gives me too much at once. I can’t spend it fast enough. So, if you see something you like, don’t be polite with me."

Zhu Zhibin agreed happily. "Sister, you said it. I will look carefully. Don’t blame me for being wasteful later."

"You can’t bankrupt your sister," Zhu Yanyi replied with a smile.

It was just a joke between siblings. But someone nearby was unhappy. "Where did these country bumpkins come from? Pretending to be rich."

Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin noticed a man and a woman in a corner. Their clothes showed they were from a cultivation sect. The woman spoke, looking disdainful.

Zhu Yanyi realized she hadn’t been provoked in a long time. Being challenged now felt novel. She wasn’t angry. She just raised an eyebrow. "Where is this fellow cultivator from?"

"Can’t you see my clothes? I am an outer disciple of Tianyi Sect," the woman said. "You loose cultivators wouldn’t understand. Tianyi Sect is one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world."

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?" She continued, "But what does that have to do with me? You said we are loose cultivators. Since we are loose cultivators, we have nothing to do with your sect disciples. Why tell us this? To show off? But we are loose cultivators. Why show off your sect to us? We aren’t joining."

"Puffing yourself up to look rich. You can’t join," the woman said scornfully. She pointed at Zhu Zhibin. "she is only at the mid-stage of Qi Condensation at this age. Clearly, she has bad spiritual roots. Does your sect accept anyone?"

"I don’t know if sects accept my brother. But I think Tianyi Sect accepted you without knowing you are so unreasonable and cause trouble. Otherwise, they would probably expel you," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

As an experienced cultivator, Zhu Yanyi knew the current situation. To unite the cultivation world, ten major sects were established. There were other sects too, but these ten were leaders. The top ten were not fixed. They were re-ranked every five hundred years in a sect competition.

Sects in the cultivation world generally did not bully loose cultivators. Loose cultivators had an alliance. They didn’t join sects due to lack of talent, but because they disliked restrictions.

Being a sect disciple meant many resources, but also many responsibilities. Many loose cultivators preferred freedom, so they didn’t join. However, for unified management, there was a Loose Cultivator Alliance.
