Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2128: Nameless Town

A fast horse galloped on the road. Zhao Hai rode the horse with a calm face. His horse wasn’t a demon horse but instead a horse provided to him by Shopkeeper Chen. From the time the map was given, it has already been seven days. Shopkeeper Chen thought that Zhao Hai gave up on the mission. Then all of sudden, Zhao Hai approached him asking him to provide a horse. 

Naturally, Shopkeeper Chen would agree to Zhao Hai’s request. He not only secretly prepared a fast horse for Zhao Hai, he also provided a spatial bag with a thousand jade essences inside along with medicinal herbs and pills. Evidently, Shopkeeper Chen attached great importance to Zhao Hai’s mission.

The road to the Mountain of Demon Beasts wasn’t a secret. Almost everyone in the demonic faction knew about it. However, only a few people walked this road. Because of this, the road seemed calm, and even a bit desolate.

Zhao Hai didn’t pay attention to these details. His thoughts were on the path. Zhao Hai’s seven days of preparation wasn’t in vain. By this point, he had a good understanding about the matters around the Mountain of Demon Beasts.

The Mountain of Demon Beasts wasn’t completely devoid of people. In the demonic faction, there were plenty of rogue cultivators who lived in the mountain and depended on it for a living. There were almost no powerful demon beasts in the periphery of the mountain. And the weaker beasts could be hunted and killed by the rogue cultivators. This became their main source of income.

There were six cities in the entire Mountain of Demon Beasts. The closest city to the clan can only be described as a small town. The town had no name and people didn’t bother to name it. It was because it was a forgotten place.

It was truly a forgotten place. Every year, besides the merchants, only very few cultivators came. But those who were present treated themselves as equals. Without the presence of the Great Sects who bullies them, they had enough income with the demon beasts in the vicinity. In other places, they would be among the sect disciples who spoiled the air. Therefore, these cultivators never left the place.

Naturally, there were still cultivators coming to the nameless town every year. Some of these people would leave, but those who stayed were those who weren’t happy with their current lives. Those who wanted to go into the Mountain of Demon Beasts were cultivators seeking to break through. Some of them were from sects who had been stuck in their realms for a long time. Besides these people, almost no other cultivators entered the town.

Cultivators would also leave the town every year, perhaps they already obtained what they wanted, or perhaps they didn’t manage to find what they wanted to find. There were also rogue cultivators who stayed in the town for a long time and found their cultivation stuck. To them, staying in the Mountain of Demon Beasts was no longer useful, so they also left.

Because of this almost equal flow of people, the nameless town never expanded. There were also no gangs in the small town. All cultivators who came to the town follow an unspoken rule. No matter what status you have outside, in the town, you are only an ordinary cultivator. In front of the demon beasts, everyone was equal.

Naturally, the nameless town was not a paradise. It was very close to the Mountain of Demon Beasts and would sometimes be attacked. Of course, the demon beasts that attacked weren’t powerful.

The casualties of cultivators in the Mountain of Demon Beasts were very large, greater than the casualties on other forbidden grounds. There were even rumors that cultivators in the Diamond Stage have fallen in the mountain.

Zhao Hai’s target was the nameless town. If he was a disciple of a great clan and wanted to go to the mountain for a trial in secret, he would most likely choose to go to the nameless town. If he went to another place, he would spend too long on the road and might risk getting discovered by the clan. So, after Zhao Hai’s analysis, he thought that the nameless town was likely the town the clan head’s grandchild last stop before entering the Mountain of Demon Beasts.

Zhao Hai rode his horse directly into the small town. Nobody came to cause trouble with him along the way. Although he didn’t identify himself, the other rogue cultivators saw how arrogant he looked on top of the horse, so nobody dared to offend him. Sects in the demonic faction were different from sects in the righteous faction. If a righteous sect disciple was attacked, their sect would investigate the background of the attacker before making a move. Sects in the demonic faction were different. They didn’t care where the attacker came from. If they didn’t get chased down to the ends of the earth, the attacker would still be hunted down.

Zhao Hai jumped down from his horse when he arrived outside the small town. Then he led his horse to enter the town. The town looked like every other ordinary small town. It had some shops, restaurants, weapon shops, and medicine shops. All shops needed by cultivators were present.

However, the small town doesn’t have an inn, nor did it have shops for ordinary people. The town had a peculiar rule. In the town, as long as a door was open, one could live inside it. Houses with open doors meant that the cultivators living inside have left and the house has no owner.

Moreover, one couldn’t see normal people in the small town. Everyone in the town was a cultivator. Even the assistants in the shops were cultivators. Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be reminded of somewhere else. He felt like he had returned to the Soaring Dragon Realm.

In the Soaring Dragon Realm, all jobs were done by cultivators. The small town was all the same. This caused Zhao Hai to be surprised.

But what surprised Zhao Hai the most was the town’s very clean streets. The houses were also very tidy, which Zhao Hai didn’t expect. In Zhao Hai’s opinion, such a small town should be in ruins. It shouldn’t be as clean as it was.

The people in the town also noticed Zhao Hai’s arrival. But everyone just glanced at him and went back to their own matters. It was as if they didn’t notice him at all.

Zhao Hai doesn’t know much about the town. The jade slip given to him by Shopkeeper Chen only contained basic information about the small town. And there was almost no information of the town in the Tyrant Blade Sect’s records. This made Zhao Hai blind to the town’s matters.

Zhao Hai looked at the people in the town for a moment before heading towards a restaurant. The restaurant should be the best place to gain information.

Zhao Hai walked towards a small restaurant and tied his horse to a post outside. Then he walked inside. When he walked in, Zhao Hai were stunned by the number of people inside. They were all cultivators and were eating.

Just as Zhao Hai entered the restaurant, everyone gave him one glance before shifting their eyes back to their food. Only the shopkeeper greeted him, he bowed towards Zhao Hai and said, “Welcome, Sir. Did you just arrive in our nameless town? What do you want to eat?”

Zhao Hai nodded, he cupped his fist and said, “I’ve disturbed the shopkeeper. I just arrived in the town. I came to eat and also inquire about some news.” The reason Zhao Hai was plight was because the shopkeeper was also a cultivator in the Clone Stage. The shopkeeper’s eyes were very alive, and he also had a hint of murderous aura in him. He wasn’t a person to mess with. It’s better to get along with him.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Mister doesn’t have to be polite. Come and take a seat. I’ll help you answer any question you have.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then he sat by a table and then said, “Brother Shopkeeper, give me two dishes and a pot of liquor. If Brother is not busy, can you sit down with me and have a chat?”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Mister, wait a moment. Your food and wine will be delivered soon. Then I’ll come to chat.” The shopkeeper turned around and left. As soon as the shopkeeper left, a guest laughed and said, “Second, you finally found someone who would listen to you. You’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”

The shopkeeper laughed, “So what. It’s better than sitting with you. Otherwise, I’ll die of suffocation.” When everyone heard this, they all couldn’t help but laugh. The person who talked also laughed along.

Although the shopkeeper was joking with the guest, his footsteps didn’t stop. Before long, dishes and a pot of liquor appeared on Zhao Hai’s table.

After putting down Zhao Hai’s food and wine, the shopkeeper sat opposite Zhao Hai and said, “Mister, since you want to inquire about the affairs of this nameless town, then you must abide by our rules. No matter where you’re from, all of us are equal here. You’re an ordinary person, not a disciple of a sect, not a beggar. You are an ordinary cultivator.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he nodded. To be honest, he welcomed such a custom. At least, it guaranteed that an oppressor wouldn’t appear in the nameless town. It was a good rule for everyone.
