Chapter 2844

It could be said that Yun Xi and the other two had made absolutely no preparations before being sent into the Cultivation World.

The only comforting thing was that the three of them had not been separated.

"That plane consciousness seems quite stingy," Yun Xi said, patting her clothes to brush off imaginary dust.

Wang Lanxuan looked at Yun Xi silently. "If you hadn't caused trouble, he wouldn't have treated you that way."

"But we don't need to worry about this plane anymore. Vermilion Bird will surely develop," Lie Xuan said with a smile.

Yun Xi nodded. "Since we have left, there are some things we can no longer do. However, we should come back to visit when we have time."

They had been cast out because they could not compete with the Heavenly Dao. Once their cultivation reached the level of the Heavenly Dao, they would no longer have such worries.

"Let's go and properly explore this Cultivation World," Yun Xi said. This was where they intended to stay for the time being.

Most people in the Cultivation World were cultivators, but there were also some non-cultivators. These were humans native to the Cultivation World, and their existence served to prosper the entire realm.

Since Yun Xi and the others planned to stay in the Cultivation World, they first needed a place to settle.

Fortunately, there were plenty of houses in the Cultivation World. The three decided to hide in plain sight, buying a courtyard in a town to serve as their base.

They had money and spirit stones, so they did not worry about poverty.

After settling down, Yun Xi and the others began to slowly understand the Cultivation World.

Naturally, they started by learning about the town where they had settled.

This town was not very populous, with only about a hundred households. Based on this ratio, Yun Xi deduced that there were not many people in the Cultivation World.

Even though people from various planes came to the Cultivation World, Yun Xi realized from this that truly few people could cultivate.

The current Cultivation World was very peaceful, with few overly violent incidents. This was because the realm was overseen by an Immortal Emperor, who did not allow excessive violence.

However, the absence of violence did not mean challenges were forbidden. In every ten towns, there was a duel platform. After winning a hundred consecutive matches on the platform, one could go to a higher-level city to duel. There, talented individuals from a hundred towns gathered. Winning again allowed one to proceed to the next level, and so on. This system helped people accumulate duel experience.

Hearing this, Yun Xi raised her eyebrows slightly. "This method is good, but it lacks the cruelty of a battlefield. Sometimes, without experiencing the cruelty of war, it is impossible to break through."

"By your logic, Lie Xuan breaks through faster than us because of her battlefield experience?" Wang Lanxuan seemed to have found the reason why her breakthroughs were slower than Lie Xuan's.

"Indeed. Xuan'er is a military general by background, constantly facing enemies. Her combat experience and methods are much richer than ours. Although we are not afraid of enemies, we are relatively inferior to Xuan'er in certain techniques. This is also why Xuan'er sometimes breaks through faster than us," Yun Xi answered.

Lie Xuan laughed. "I quite like this dueling. I just don't know what the actual situation is like."

People coming from the battlefield naturally liked dueling, especially since Lie Xuan cultivated the Dao of War.

Yun Xi smiled. "Let's first stabilize our foundations, and then go see the situation at the duel platform. If conditions permit, we will participate in the duels."

Yun Xi also understood that to break through, they needed more continuous combat experience.

Lie Xuan naturally hoped for continuous combat, so she nodded in agreement when Yun Xi suggested it.

Wang Lanxuan had no objections either. He had long noticed that Yun Xi seemed to predict every outcome accurately. Perhaps because of this mental strength, Wang Lanxuan always supported whatever Yun Xi decided to do.

They had just arrived in the Cultivation World. Because their Nascent Soul breakthrough in the Azure Dragon World was not yet fully stabilized, they spent the first three years consolidating their cultivation.

Once their cultivation was consolidated and their foundation solid, Yun Xi and the others began to prepare to go out and explore.

They did not worry about anyone being curious about their small courtyard.

People in the Cultivation World were very smart. No one knew what kind of expert might appear next, so unless they were familiar with someone, they rarely visited neighbors.

Yun Xi and the others learned that the 1st, 10th, and 20th days of every month were duel days. Cultivators who wanted to duel would register in advance and come on these three days.

Since Yun Xi and the others had never participated in such duels, they were unfamiliar with the rules and decided to watch first.

They arrived at the town with the duel platform on the 9th day, meaning there would be duels the next day. So, Yun Xi and the others found an inn, planning to stay there and watch the excitement the next day.

However, probably because many people came to watch, the inns here were fully booked. Yun Xi and the others asked three inns, and all were full.

"There are really a lot of people here," Lie Xuan remarked.

Yun Xi smiled. "Tomorrow is the duel day. Not only are duelists coming, but also spectators. It's no wonder the inns are full. We arrived late, so we can't blame the inns."

"The problem is, we need to find a place to stay," Wang Lanxuan reminded them.

"Are the three of you looking for a place to stay?" An old man approached and asked as they were talking.

Yun Xi examined the old man. He was an ordinary person, but a shrewd light flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be a businessman. "Yes. We heard tomorrow is the duel day, and we came to watch the excitement."

"The three of you must be immortals and fairies," the old man said.

Yun Xi only smiled slightly and did not answer.

The old man knew that cultivators had this kind of personality. They were different from mortals like him. He said, "If the three of you do not mind, you can stay at my home for a few days. I have separate guest rooms."

"How is the payment calculated?" Yun Xi did not believe this was a gift. Some things needed to be clarified.

The old man said, "To be honest with the three immortals, my grandson has spiritual roots. However, I am a mortal, and resources are scarce. There are still three years until the various sects select disciples. I do not want to delay my grandson. I only ask that the three immortals give my grandson a slight guidance."

A slight guidance was not difficult for Yun Xi and the others. However, for a mortal, finding a suitable person was not easy.
