"Big brother, we are siblings here hoping to join a sect, please do us a favor!" Ye Luo said with a smile, handing over a cloth bag.

The guard took the bag, glanced at Ye Luo and Nuonuo a few more times, then waved them through.

"Leave a life imprint here with me, then you can enter!"

The so-called life imprint is merely a bit of divine soul power, so that in case anything happens, they can check if it’s the work of someone inside the city.

Ye Luo didn’t mind; after all, these are just leftover methods from the inland, no longer used now, but in a small town with a sparse population, they can still be quite useful.

Afterward, the two left a trace of divine soul power and entered the city.

The town is quite different from the inland; after all, this is the South Territory and far less prosperous than the inland.

People often set up their own stalls by the street, while only the inns and restaurants have buildings that look somewhat decent!

But to Nuonuo, everything was incredibly novel, as it was her first time in such a place.

She used to move with the tribe, mostly traversing harsh environments.

Not just her, most members of those small tribes and forces are likely the same.

"Wow, Master, there are so many people here!"

"Master, what is this? Can it be eaten? Will you buy it for me?"

"Haha, Master, this thing is so cute!"

... 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Nuonuo was hopping and skipping the whole way, in high spirits.

Having spent so much time fighting or fleeing, Ye Luo was also a bit weary, and seeing this, he felt a rare sense of relaxation.

"Not bad, whatever you like, just buy it. Master will pay in Immortal Stones!" Ye Luo laughed.

"Master, you’re the best!"

She didn’t hold back on spending Ye Luo’s money, quickly buying a large pile of things.

Of course, while Ye Luo’s Immortal Stones weren’t plentiful, in the South Territory, he was undeniably wealthy.

After a few hours, Ye Luo took Nuonuo to the inn.

However, there were only two inns in the town, and unfortunately, they were basically full of people.

After all, more and more people are trading with the South Territory, and due to the Heavenly Punishment event, many merchants have been waiting here for a month. These people aren’t short on Immortal Stones and stay in the inn all day long.

"Master, let’s just stay on the street; it’s a lot better than outside anyway!" Nuonuo said with a smile.

She was telling the truth; the environment in the town was indeed a world apart from outside.

And because of this, those who can enter must undergo thorough scrutiny.

Also, Ye Luo and Nuonuo could only stay in the city for a week; exceeding this time would turn them into wanted individuals by the Guard Squad, and being caught would be severe.

Every day on the street, a lot of wanted people are caught!

Of course, if Ye Luo hadn’t slipped that guard a bag of cultivation resources, they wouldn’t have entered the city so easily.

Ye Luo nodded and walked out of the inn.

In reality, no matter which world, there is never a shortage of business-minded people.

For instance, around the inns, some indigenous residents are allowed to reside here long-term, but they can’t cultivate and must serve the sect forces.

If anyone is found practicing body technique or any unusual cultivation technique, it’s a grave offense, and they will be expelled from Sumeru City immediately.

Aside from this, there are virtually no restrictions on them.

And they engage in small inn businesses, making minor modifications to their homes to turn them into small inns.

And because their prices are much more affordable than the larger inns, they don’t lack customers.

Afterward, Ye Luo and Nuonuo randomly found a slightly larger family-run inn; of course, the environment was lacking.

The rooms were particularly small, but even in this family inn, it was fully booked by merchants, so Ye Luo considered it lucky to find a room.

"Wow, this is my first time staying in a place like this, it’s so serene!" Nuonuo said with wide eyes.

Ye Luo sighed; if he took Nuonuo to stay in a luxurious hotel in a technological world, who knows how she would react.

But here, compared to Ye Luo’s lodging conditions in recent days, it was indeed decent.

"By the way, Master, I saw outside today that many sects are recruiting disciples. Have you decided which one to join?" Nuonuo asked.

Ye Luo, of course, noticed this as well; in his mind, he was considering Wind Cloud Sect because Wind Cloud Xiner is the Sect Master, and it wouldn’t reach a point of falling out with the sect.

In the worst case, he could just ask her directly, after all, his requirements aren’t high, merely to inquire about some Plane Origin Liquid information.

"I think Wind Cloud Sect it is!" Ye Luo said with a smile.

"Hmph, I knew you were thinking about that Wind Cloud Xiner!" Nuonuo immediately snorted.

Ye Luo looked at her, confused, "What’s the big deal? She’s such a beautiful woman, there’s nothing wrong with me thinking about her. You wouldn’t be against her being your master, right?"

"Hmph, that kind of witch, I don’t like her! Only someone like you would like her! Hmph, don’t talk to me anymore, I’m going to sleep!"

Having said that, she hid under the covers, and Ye Luo looked at her in surprise, wondering why she was going to sleep when it wasn’t even dark!

But it was just as well, as Ye Luo didn’t like shopping either. Having been tense recently, now that he had some leisure time, he too planned to take a nap.

However, upon waking up, it was already the next day.

Both felt a bit embarrassed by this.

"Oh no, I forgot to check which day the disciple recruitments start!" Nuonuo regretfully said.

Ye Luo smiled, "Don’t worry, due to the Heavenly Punishment event, these sects have lost many disciples, so they recruit almost every day.

Just as Ye Luo said, when they stepped out of the inn, they saw groups of people walking down the street. These weren’t guard squads but sect disciples, advertising their sect’s recruitment policies!

It was evident that sects really lacked disciples now!

In the South Territory, the role of a sect disciple was much greater.

Not to mention, every month, disciples must complete tasks assigned by their sect, which is a way for sects to gather resources.

It’s safe to say that a large portion of a sect’s resources comes from its disciples; therefore, the more disciples, the more prosperous the sect becomes.

Ye Luo and Nuonuo were waiting at a teahouse by the street, and soon, a group of people approached, who were all women! Clearly, this wasn’t Wind Cloud Sect!

Although Wind Cloud Xiner is the Sect Master, the sect still had more men overall.
