The Lingyun Sword landed directly on the man’s neck, and Ye Luo asked, "What do you mean by ’wildfolk,’ and what’s a Daoist?"

"Huh?"

The man in white stared blankly at Ye Luo, but at this point, he was almost certain Ye Luo was a wildfolk. However, seeing Ye Luo’s posture earlier, he thought Ye Luo was a Daoist, which scared him into begging for mercy!

But now, even though he realized Ye Luo was a wildfolk, with the sword on his neck, he dared not resist.

He carefully replied, "The term ’wildfolk’ refers to those who have crossed over from lower regions using illicit means, including escapees from secret realms, runaway slaves from some families, and so on. They often hide in the mountains, never daring to come out, hence the name ’wildfolk.’

As for Daoists, that refers to those who can practice spiritual cultivation.

We, however, are nationals. Nationals are those born in the Sixth Region, but due to lack of aptitude, we cannot cultivate..."

So that’s how it is—this Sixth Region has such definitions.

Thinking about it, Ye Luo seemingly fits the description of a wildfolk.

But, considering he managed to come from a lower region, he must be quite formidable. Regardless, he possesses spiritual cultivation, so why is he despised, even by ordinary people who cannot cultivate?

Ye Luo was puzzled and asked, "Why do you look down on wildfolk so much? Why did you immediately want to kill me upon seeing me?"

"No, no, Master, it’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. I had no intention of killing you. It’s just that the orders from the Sect Master of Tianzong Nation say that if one catches a wildfolk, they can exchange them for rewards there. I merely wanted to catch you to get the reward, not kill you, and besides, I couldn’t beat you!"

Exchange for rewards? Tianzong Nation? Could it be the sects here have established their own countries?

Ye Luo frowned slightly. He could tell this guy wasn’t lying, but why capture wildfolk? What does Tianzong Nation mean?

Looking at this guy, he seemed to be an inexperienced commoner, probably wouldn’t know much if asked deeper questions.

"Alright then, tell me where this place is, and where the nearest city is, and I’ll let you go."

"Sure, Master, this is within the Yuntang of Tianzong Nation. The nearest city is naturally the gate of Yuntang. Just keep going straight down this road, and you’ll reach it after five hundred miles!"

Damn!

Five hundred miles...

This urbanization is truly...

"But Master, I advise you not to go. If you go in such a manner, you’re likely to be captured by Daoists. I heard Yuntang seems to be constructing some tower and is capturing people for labor everywhere."

This guy has a somewhat good heart; he knows to warn Ye Luo even now. But then, why did he want to capture Ye Luo earlier?

"You don’t need to worry about that. Tell me, how did you instantly determine I was a wildfolk?"

Ye Luo was not particularly averse to the title "wildfolk," as he indeed smuggled in from a lower region, essentially making him one!

"Master, I used this Magical Treasure, which everyone has as an identity recognition device. Just aim it at the person whose identity you want to know, and it’ll naturally display their identity!"

So there’s such a thing. Ye Luo took that identity recognition device but quickly understood its principles.

In fact, it should be called a spiritual power detector because its main function is analyzing spiritual power intensity!

When identifying someone, if they possess spiritual power yet don’t meet the average level of the Sixth Region, it shows red, signifying a wildfolk. If they lack spiritual power or insufficient intensity, it shows white or green, representing nationals!

If the spiritual power reaches blue, it’s naturally a Daoist!

Unfortunately, this device is simplistic, unable to discern cultivation levels precisely. But it’s meant for common people like those in white, so it doesn’t need to be highly intricate.

This device is useless to Ye Luo, thus he handed it back casually.

"Alright, go now. Don’t be so arrogant in the future. Even the wildfolk you talk of can be formidable in their original regions, not someone ordinary like you can contend with. Born in the Sixth Region, your physical constitution is naturally better, but lacking cultivation, facing a powerful wildfolk means certain death!"

"Yes, yes, Master, I’ve memorized it!"

Ye Luo waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

Unexpectedly, this Sixth Region is a country established by a sect, with a tiered society that divides people.

Though the Great Tang Empire also has a nobility system, it doesn’t divide people into such grades. It seems different regions indeed have their peculiarities.

Now that Ye Luo learned of the Sixth Region’s uniqueness from the man in white, he wouldn’t rashly head to Yuntang, for he didn’t want to be caught for labor.

Insufficient spiritual power intensity, in other words, inadequate cultivation, isn’t something Ye Luo can elevate by mere desire.

Could it be, Ye Luo can only remain a wildfolk?

This isn’t the result Ye Luo desires, for the good stuff is only found in cities.

Outside, one could certainly find some Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Herbs, but Ye Luo couldn’t even recognize them, let alone utilize them. They can’t be absorbed directly, right?

That would be way too slow!

Clearly, Ye Luo needs to find a way into Yuntang!

Once inside, Ye Luo can purchase the items he desires.

Like new Elixir Formulas, for example!

Ye Luo began pondering how he could infiltrate.

Honestly, to get into Yuntang, the first issue to tackle is the spiritual power intensity!

A person’s internal spiritual power concentration typically reflects their cultivation level.

The higher the cultivation, the denser the spiritual power concentration, potentially forming a Spiritual Body.

Of course, excluding Spiritual Body beings, as they’re inherently made of spiritual power.

Ye Luo knew if he recklessly charged in, he’d likely be apprehended quickly.

The silly Tianzong ordered captures, and here is under Tianzong Nation’s domain. No one dares defy Tianzong’s commands.

What exactly should Ye Luo do to deceive the guards?
