Upon entering the Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world, Guo Feilong was momentarily taken aback.
Looking around, he saw countless people flying through the air on clouds in the distance.
"Why are there so many people here?"
Guo Feilong was puzzled, thinking, "Could it be that some treasure has appeared here? The kind that even low-level cultivators can obtain?"
With doubt in his heart, his Divine Sense at the late Foundation Establishment stage surged out like a tide in all directions.
He was at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, his Divine Soul was twice as powerful as other Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In an instant, his Divine Sense covered a radius of fifty miles.
Within this fifty-mile radius, he detected two to three thousand low-level cultivators.
Divine Sense was not only equivalent to a cultivator's eyes, allowing them to see.
It was also like their ears, enabling them to hear.
Even like their hands and feet, as far as the Divine Sense reached, so did their Mystic Power.
Looking at the expressions of those two to three hundred low-level cultivators, it didn't seem like anything significant or treasure-related had happened here.
This was strange. Guo Feilong decided to find someone to ask why there were so many people in this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world.
Just within fifty miles, there were so many cultivators, and in the farther sky, there were even more low-level cultivators either flying or landing on the ground.
A moment later.
Guo Feilong, riding a mid-Foundation Establishment stage flying spiritual beast and holding the early Foundation Establishment stage Treasure-Seeking Mink Xiaobai in his arms, landed in front of a group of seven low-level cultivators, both men and women.
Among them, the highest was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the lowest was at the third level of Qi Refining.
A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could easily wipe them out. Seeing Guo Feilong land in front of them, all seven were tense, fearing that Guo Feilong might bully the weak and kill them to seize treasures.
"Senior, we have only been here for less than three days and have not gained anything. If you don't mind, we are willing to offer our storage bags to honor you."
The leader, an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, reluctantly took off his storage bag from his waist.
The other six followed suit, taking their storage bags from their waists.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
"Please accept them, Senior."
They were respectful, and even though they were reluctant to part with their storage bags, they forced smiles on their faces.
In the Cultivation World, low-level cultivators were like grass in front of high-level cultivators, and the lower they bowed, the better.
"I'm not here to rob you," Guo Feilong said. "I just want to ask you a question.
I visited this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world a few years ago, and there weren't so many people back then.
Now there are so many people here. Has some treasure appeared?"
The seven low-level cultivators breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, hanging their storage bags back on their waists. A senior who wasn't here to rob was a good senior.
"Senior, the reason there are so many people in this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world now is not because of any treasure appearing."
The leader, the eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, respectfully explained, "It's because people like us from small low-level cultivation families can't earn many spirit stones outside and don't have Heavenly Abodes with abundant spiritual energy.
So we come to this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world to cultivate and search for spirit herbs and medicines all over the mountains. Even low-level spirit herbs and medicines are worth quite a few spirit stones to us.
Many low-level cultivators like us have come in and never left, settling here temporarily because the spiritual energy here is at least four times that of the outside.
If, in the future, the entry and exit restrictions of this small world disappear and it becomes owned by someone, we won't be able to cultivate here and will be driven out of the Heavenly Abode.
However, the entry and exit restrictions of the Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world won't completely disappear for several hundred or even a thousand years.
This Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world is now a paradise for low-level cultivators like us. Many low-level cultivators come here every day and don't plan to leave in the short term.
We are the same, planning to cultivate here as long as we can."
"I see," Guo Feilong finally understood.
In the Cultivation World, various Heavenly Abodes and cultivation resources were basically controlled by powerful cultivation forces.
Small family cultivation forces didn't fare well outside, so many low-level cultivators settled here.
It wasn't because of any treasure appearing, which left Guo Feilong slightly disappointed.
Still puzzled, he asked, "Those who settle here, how do they obtain the elixirs and spirit stones they need for cultivation?"
Cultivation elixirs and spirit stones were essential cultivation resources for cultivators.
Without these two things, relying solely on the spiritual energy concentration here, which was four times that of the outside, was still not as fast as using cultivation resources.
The eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator respectfully replied, "Senior, a few years ago, many Elemental Infant-level cultivation forces established cultivation cities and markets in this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world.
We can sell any treasures we find here to their shops in the cultivation markets and buy the cultivation elixirs we need directly from those market shops.
Although they suppress prices, buying treasures at lower prices and selling cultivation elixirs at higher prices than outside.
Overall, the cultivation resources we can obtain here in a month are equivalent to three or four months outside.
If we're lucky and find mid to high-level spirit herbs, medicines, or treasures, we can earn as much as several years or even decades of income.
However, there are now too many people in this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world, and the chances of finding spirit herbs, medicines, or treasures are getting lower."
After lamenting how difficult it was becoming, Guo Feilong asked, "Can you tell me how many cultivation markets there are here and which Elemental Infant-level forces they belong to?"
The other party quickly answered his question.
Currently, there were twenty-two Elemental Infant-level cultivation forces that had established cultivation markets in this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world.
Each cultivation market had a defensive formation capable of withstanding attacks from Golden Elixir stage spiritual beasts, making them very safe, without fear of robbery.
If someone robbed others in the market, the cultivation force that established the market would kill them.
This was normal because if a cultivation market couldn't guarantee the safety of cultivators, no cultivator would dare to shop there.
To Guo Feilong's surprise, Wu Yumeng's maternal family, the Wu Family, had also established a cultivation market here.
Because of Wu Yumeng, Guo Feilong had a favorable impression of the Wu Family, considering them closer than other Elemental Infant-level forces.
However, he didn't plan to visit the Wu Family's cultivation market to acknowledge any kinship.
After all, the Wu Family, as an Elemental Infant-level cultivation family, had tens of thousands of cultivators, and there were many relatives like him with different surnames. Having too many relatives was almost like having none.
In the next moment, Guo Feilong, riding the mid-Foundation Establishment stage flying spiritual beast and holding the early Foundation Establishment stage Treasure-Seeking Mink Xiaobai, flew deeper into this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world.
His main purpose for coming this time was to hunt Golden Elixir stage spiritual beasts. A few hours later, Guo Feilong arrived at the territory of a late Golden Elixir stage spiritual beast he couldn't defeat before.
He knew where the opponent's lair was, but Guo Feilong didn't recklessly go there directly. Instead, he found a suitable place to set up an array and stopped there.
