Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 875: Chapter 875: Neighbors

Qi Wen rolled her eyes at her two brothers. What are they talking about? What do they mean by violence?

The five people next door returned to the courtyard and all sat down there.

”Those four father and son don’t seem like ordinary people, but why do they appear to have low cultivation?”

”Jin Lin, did you sense it wrong? Their cultivation indeed doesn’t seem high. But they are really young.”

”Maybe they’re not father and son, but brothers?” Cailing said indifferently.

”Junior sister, are you interested in that pretty boy? Actually, even if you’re interested, what does it matter if they are father and son or siblings? Didn’t you see there was no female cultivator?”

”Senior brother, what are you talking about? I was just saying.” Even if she was interested, she couldn’t say it now. After all, her master had already told her she was to be wed to the Sect Leader’s junior disciple.

”We came too early, didn’t we? Even though there are some outsiders now, it’s too uncomfortable to stay here for such a long time, isn’t it?”

This place is desolate. There’s nothing here, not even at Wolf Tooth Mountain. Staying here for so long would definitely drive one mad.

”Master must have a reason for sending us here now; let’s just wait here.”

”Senior brother, looking at the situation next door, it seems like they’ve been here for quite a while; should we go over and ask about the situation here?”

”Alright, let’s go over.”

The senior sister who hadn’t spoken all this time spoke up, ”Let’s wait a bit. Go over tomorrow.”

Now, the group fell silent. They were really bored staying here and wanted to find someone to talk to.

They had already walked around this small workshop several times and didn’t want to talk to ordinary people out of pride.

The father and sons of Tan Shaoting gave off a different feeling, so they wanted to have a chat and learn about the situation around here.

After the four of them washed up, they each went back to rest. The three siblings had already planned to go into the interior of Wolf Tooth Mountain tomorrow, as Qi Hong mentioned there were many good things there. As they had a space now, capable of planting, they were eager to enrich it.

The next day, Tan Shaoting boiled some congee, and it was just congee.

”Dad, today we are going to find the long-armed ape.”

”I’ll go with you.” With so many outsiders here now, how could he be at ease letting the three of them set off alone?

”Dad, it’s really not necessary.”

Tan Shaoting firmly shook his head. While entering the interior, there might be a long-armed ape taking care of them, but he was worried about encountering other cultivators.

Just as they finished tidying up, they felt someone tapping on the array.

”Dad, it’s the people next door.”

”Mm, invite them in.”

Qi Yan opened the array, and the five entered, exchanging greetings.

”Mr. Tan, sorry to disturb you so suddenly.”

Tan Shaoting smiled, ”No need to be so formal, please sit. I wonder what brings you here?”

The five sat down, and the three children went back to their rooms; they hated others paying attention to them. The attention between cultivators made them very uncomfortable and uneasy.

”Mr. Tan, we are disciples from the Heavenly Profound Sect, here to check out the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm as it is about to start.”

Tan Shaoting nodded, ”You’ve come early, friends; there’s still nearly two years before it starts.”

Senior sister Suzhen spoke up, ”Mr. Tan, we’d like to ask you about the situation around Wolf Tooth Mountain.”

Tan Shaoting nodded, ”Please ask, but I don’t know much; I haven’t been here long.”

”Mr. Tan, have you been inside the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm?”

”Yes, just the last session. There’s really not much in there. The varieties of spirit plants are very ordinary, and their levels aren’t high. The level of demon beasts in there is also very low.

I didn’t explore too many places in there. The spiritual energy isn’t much different from the outside.”

At this point, the five felt a bit bitter. What should they do? Why did their master send them to this barren secret realm?

Could it be because something good was happening inside the sect, and the master didn’t want them to participate? But that doesn’t make sense, as the master would consider his disciples’ opportunities, right?

”Mr. Tan, may I ask which sect you belong to?”

”The Shushan Sect.”

This made the five feel less disdain toward Tan Shaoting. He was also a sect disciple and not a loose cultivator.

”Mr. Tan, my name is Suzhen, I am their senior sister.”

”My name is Jin Lin.”

”Mr. Tan, I’m called Cailing.”

”My name is Deng Feng.”

”Mr. Tan, I am Ma Qi.”

Tan Shaoting stood up and properly greeted, ”Greetings to the five friends, my name is Tan Shaoting, an outer disciple of the Shushan Sect.” He just told them he had no master and was only an ordinary outer disciple.

If it were before, the five really wouldn’t have valued an outer disciple. But Tan Shaoting gave off a different feeling, and in this small workshop filled with loose cultivators, having a big sect’s disciple was already commendable.

”Mr. Jin, why did you come so early with such a long time still left? And I noticed many unfamiliar faces.”

Jin Lin chuckled, ”Mr. Tan, we came here early under master’s orders, but we really don’t know the reason.

As for the other unfamiliar faces you mentioned, we also inquired; many from other sects have also arrived. As to why they came early, we asked, too, and they all said it was under instructions from their master or sect.

You’ve noticed that not many sect disciples came here, didn’t you, Mr. Tan, wasn’t your trip arranged by your sect?”

Tan Shaoting shook his head, ”No, I came down directly from the battlefield, thinking of training outside, so I didn’t return to the sect and came straight here.”

Suzhen suddenly said, ”I believe it’s because several sects discovered a Thunder Spirit Root Cultivator. That’s why they won’t miss any secret realm. Even a small secret realm may have few people, so it needs attention.”

Her words surprised not only Tan Shaoting but also her fellow sect members looked at her in shock.

Discovering a Thunder Spirit Root Cultivator could be considered a secret.

Tan Shaoting was a bit taken aback, ”Discovered a Thunder Spirit Root Cultivator? Do you know which sect they’re with?”

All five shook their heads, ”No, we’ve been looking and still haven’t found them; I guess they’re determined to find the Thunder Spirit Root Cultivator? That’s probably why they’re sending people out.” Ma Qi also said.

”Still haven’t found them, so how do you know it’s a Thunder Spirit Root Cultivator?”

”Because an elder witnessed the phenomena of a Thunder Spirit Root Cultivator’s advancement. I heard from my master that several elders have been out looking but haven’t found them yet.”

”There’s truly a Thunder Spirit Root Cultivator? Friends, you all have masters, I’m very curious about the cursed matters of the continent. But I’m just an outer disciple, so I have no access to this information; I wonder if you can enlighten me?”

Suzhen shook her head, ”Mr. Tan, it’s not that we aren’t telling; we really don’t know either. The sect has a rule, you can only learn about this after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.”
