Chapter 103 Immortal and Mortal Abode

The people stationed here are mostly disciples dispatched from outside the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, who follow the Foundation Establishment Guardians to protect the entire city. The location of the pillar is a key node of the underground spiritual vein.

Connected with the formations arranged here, it resembles a series of fortified positions.

Wang Yu's sudden arrival, his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining, was not concealed. The mortals entering and leaving near the city gate all showed fear, cautiously stopping in place, not daring to look at him.

Is this really the model of rule...?

Just as he understood, two cultivators approached together. Upon noticing the disciple's token at Wang Yu's waist, they quickly bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

Wang Yu nodded.

"I'm stationed at Spider Mountain, just came to Heartbreak City for a visit."

The two men immediately smiled knowingly and led the way, saying...

"How should I address you, Senior Brother? My name is Han Fei. I am familiar with the situation in all parts of Heart-Eroding City and may lead the way for you."

"Just call me Wang Yu. How shall I address this gentleman?"

"Yang Shan, please, Senior Brother Wang Yu."

The three chatted and laughed, and soon stopped at a palace with pillars. Han Fei introduced it to them.

"The City of Heart Erosion has a total of 108 pillars, each of which can accommodate 1,000 cultivators. Currently, only 50 or 60 people are stationed at each location, and some of our fellow disciples have gone to the Mountain Spring Workshop outside the city."

"Senior Brother Wang Yu, is there anywhere you'd like to go? While the pleasure quarters of this Heart-Eroding City aren't as grand as the Azure Jade Pavilion within the sect, they have their own unique features, especially for young children..."

"No need," Wang Yu said, raising his hand in refusal.

"I've heard that an auction is going to be held in Heartbreak City. Is that true?"

"this--"

The other person, Yang Shan, seemed somewhat uncertain.

"I wonder where you learned this, Senior Brother."

"Is it true that I have my own channels?"

Yang Shan and Han Fei looked at each other, and in the exchange of glances, they seemed to have made a decision.

"We are all fellow disciples, so I will inform my senior brother of this matter. However, this auction is not the kind you understand, but rather... it is Lord Zhou's business."

"Lord Zhou?" Wang Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking that he must be the Foundation Establishment Guardian of Heart-Eroding City.

"Yes, these pillar palaces organize a spirit testing conference every year. Those who meet the requirements will be sent to the nine peaks of the sect. If they are below three spiritual roots, they will be divided into three grades—superior, middle, and inferior—based on their appearance and sent to the Immortal Abode for training."

"There are male and female camps. Every 3 to 5 years, an auction is held, and the items for auction are them. After being well trained, whether they are used as sexual release tools or dual cultivation furnaces, they are guaranteed to make the buyers feel like they are in heaven."

Wang Yu listened with a cold expression. Fortunately, he was born in the Taihu Spirit Realm, and his family was just a mortal family. Strictly speaking, he was among the first to participate in the spirit testing after he started his family.

He's considered a second-generation member. If he had been born in the Crimson Phoenix Demon Realm and raised as a star slave, he wouldn't know what to do.

Wang Yu couldn't help but ask, "The sect needs a large number of spirit slaves to provide a huge amount of spirit sand for consumption, so why not send them to the Nine Peaks to be trained into spirit slaves?"

Han Fei: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

Yang Shan: "Yes, senior brother, you don't understand. This post is changed every hundred years. These important figures have their own factions. So where should they be sent to in Jiufeng?"

"Providing a hundred-year supply of spirit slaves is simple, but for the next garrison, whether to send them or not becomes a problem, and it is difficult to profit from it."

Wang Yu roughly understood the underlying logic: in general, the garrison positions were constantly rotated, and there were different factions involved.

However, there is only one City of Heart Erosion. The resources produced in this city cannot be used as a tool for any particular faction to profit from; the majority must be handed over to the sect.

As a result, the garrison commanders simply sought personal gain.

For example, the Mountain Spring Workshop and the Slave Cultivator Auction House run by this Lord Zhou. He is quite talented to be able to come up with so many tricks up his sleeve at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He must have made a lot of money over the years.

Their background is definitely not bad; they belong to the Zhou clan…

Wang Yu's mind raced when Yang Shan suddenly spoke.

"Senior brother, we have arrived at the Immortal Abode. Before the auction, we disciples can select the slave cultivators we like and take them away by paying spirit stones."

Wang Yu was stunned. He had thought that the robbers were telling the truth in order to lure him out, but it turned out to be a slave auction, a waste of his time.

There are no Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects at all.

But, since we're already here...

Let's take a look then; it'll broaden our horizons.

"Shall we take a look?"

"Please, senior brother."

"Hey you, come over here and introduce the goods."

"Hey, here I am."

The cultivator standing by the door hurriedly ran over, revealing a fawning smile. He was a subordinate recruited by Lord Zhou, not a member of the Blood Sect.

He only had the third level of Qi Refining cultivation, so he kept a very low profile.

"Gentlemen, please follow me."

Xianfanju is a large manor covering an area of ​​300 acres, with a bluestone road in the middle dividing it into two parts, with men on the left and women on the right.

Sword-wielding cultivators guarded every intersection, and these guys, destined to be bought, could only move around within the manor.

The more outstanding one's appearance, the higher one's status here, and the training mainly focuses on temperament, etiquette, and understanding others' thoughts.

Those with ordinary appearances cultivate special secret techniques from a young age to enhance their sexual characteristics and master the art of sexual intercourse, making them highly skilled in these techniques, regardless of gender.

Moreover, each of them has undergone rigorous training, is very skilled at serving others, and is even quite adept at speaking.

When Wang Yu entered, he saw a young man with a stone lock around his waist and a golden ring that he could untie with his tongue. His dexterity was such that he could untie a nine-locked golden ring in no more than five breaths.

Their cultivation level is generally at the first or second level of Qi Refining, and those at the third level are very rare, which meets the standard for them to be trained in a short period of time.

When the servant saw Wang Yu stop on the covered bridge, he quickly introduced him.

"My lord, are you interested in that pale-faced youth? I could..."

"No, let's keep going."

"yes--"

The more Wang Yu looked, the colder he felt, and his mood became somewhat unsettled. Whether it was the righteous path or the demonic path, there was an ironclad rule that forbade the mass slaughter of mortals.

Because immortals come from the mortal realm!

Mortals are like the earth, capable of nurturing rare minerals and life, much like cultivators with spiritual roots.

Mortals are the foundation of everything. If we want more cultivators, we need more mortals. Their only value is to reproduce and thrive.

Once a "spiritual root" seedling is produced, the superior ones join the sect to strengthen the sect and continue the virtuous practice of their predecessors, while the inferior ones become slaves or servants to provide enjoyment and comfort for the superior ones.

Lord Zhou is good at making money precisely because he has grasped this core principle, and the slave cultivators he has trained are very competitive.

It's likely that he consulted with experts from the Hehuan Sect.

At this moment, Wang Yu vaguely realized that the demonic path not only had invincible giant demons who committed heinous crimes, but also exploitation and oppression under the rules.

There are madmen who slaughter mortals to refine treasures, and there are also manipulators who are adept at understanding human nature, exchanging the suffering blood of others for a smooth path to the Great Dao.

Ultimately, they are a group of people who will stop at nothing to achieve their spiritual goals.

This was the second time he had a profound realization about this sentence.

It's getting deeper and deeper.

Ultimately, it turned into a long sigh.
