Bai Shan giggled upon hearing Chu Lingwei's words.
"Do you know? Every human cultivator who enters here asks the first question, 'How do I get out?'"
"Don't you want to leave here and see the outside world?" Chu Lingwei held the Illusion Cat, stroking its head. "The outside is much more interesting than this place."
"I don't want to go out. The spiritual energy here is so abundant for me to cultivate, I don't want to leave at all." Bai Shan shook her head. She had heard those human cultivators say that the cultivation resources on the Xuan Tian Continent were all obtained by fighting for them. She definitely didn't want to go out.
Chu Lingwei sighed inwardly. It seemed she had already been brainwashed.
"Then can you tell me why I was brought here?"
"They say anyone who accidentally enters here will be brought here." Bai Shan pointed to the Immortal Bell Grass in front of Chu Lingwei. "Sister, as long as you diligently cultivate these Immortal Bell Grass, you can get a lot of spirit stones."
Chu Lingwei said nothing. It seemed this little girl knew nothing.
Bai Shan stood up, her smile radiant. "Sister, I'll be going back now."
Chu Lingwei watched Bai Shan leave and couldn't help but sigh. She walked in the direction Bai Shan had gone.
After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, a pavilion appeared. A cat demon was sitting inside.
The two cat ears on his head were particularly noticeable.
"You are the new human cultivator." The cat demon spotted the Illusion Cat in Chu Lingwei's arms at a glance. The cat ears on his head twitched slightly.
"Yes, I wanted to ask where I'm staying tonight?"
Since she was here, she would make the best of it. Chu Lingwei couldn't leave for now, so she had to find a place to settle down.
"This is your room." The cat demon took out a set of keys and threw them to Chu Lingwei. "As long as you inject your spiritual power into it and follow the instructions, you can find your accommodation."
"Thank you."
This place was somewhat humane; they hadn't made her live on a desolate mountain.
"You can go back and rest early today, but tomorrow you must take care of your Immortal Bell Grass, or there will be punishment." The cat demon snorted lightly. He didn't think he hadn't seen Chu Lingwei slacking off earlier, not tending to the Immortal Bell Grass assigned to her.
"Okay, I understand."
Chu Lingwei injected a stream of spiritual power into the key. A map immediately appeared, with some annotations about the place. Following the instructions, Chu Lingwei arrived at an antique-style street block.
Upon entering the street block, Chu Lingwei was slightly shocked. This place was exactly like a town on the Xuan Tian Continent. Apart from the presence of various demons moving around everywhere, it was otherwise identical.
The most common people encountered here were hurried cultivators.
Finding her room, Chu Lingwei threw herself onto the bed.
"Weiwei, do you think there's an inn from Big Brother's family here?" The Illusion Cat perched on the windowsill, looking at the many shops on the street. Everything sold there was something cultivators would need.
Hearing the Illusion Cat's words, Chu Lingwei sat up abruptly. "Perhaps there really is."
Leng Family Inns could even open an inn in the Demon Realm, so it shouldn't be too difficult in the Demon Race's territory.
"Then let's go look for it quickly and have Big Brother rescue us!" Feng Ming became excited immediately, as if Leng Xingzhi was already on his way to save them.
"This should be a place for demons to work. Even if there is a Leng family inn, it wouldn't be opened here." Chu Lingwei had observed when she first entered. Those living here should be cultivators who planted flowers and grasses.
"Then what do we do?" Feng Ming deflated like a balloon. "Could it be that we really have to plant Immortal Bell Grass here?"
"We can stay for a while. We haven't been to the Demon Race before, we can see what it's like here, it's quite interesting."
The question that concerned Chu Lingwei the most was why the mist in the Chen He Forest was the entrance to the Demon Realm. Thinking about it now, the Hong family must have known, so they deliberately forced her into this place.
"But we can't go anywhere right now." The Illusion Cat was very intelligent. Chu Lingwei, having just arrived, was like a little chick. If she didn't do her job properly, she couldn't go anywhere.
"Yes, so, we'll start planting Immortal Bell Grass tomorrow." Chu Lingwei stretched. She took out some food from her storage bag, ate with the Illusion Cat and the other pet, and then began to rest.
The next morning, she took the two small beasts to the Immortal Bell Grass she was responsible for and began her labor by casting the Rain Spell.
The cat demon, hiding in the shadows, watched Chu Lingwei diligently working and nodded in satisfaction before turning to leave.
For over ten mu of Immortal Bell Grass, each plant required the same amount of rainwater and spiritual power, not more and not less, which was extremely taxing.
A full half-day passed before Chu Lingwei found an opportunity to rest.
"I'm really tired." Since becoming Bei Chenfeng's disciple, Chu Lingwei never had to do this kind of work. The spiritual grasses in her spatial dimension would directly grow into the soil and mature automatically. Now, experiencing the true feeling of cultivating spiritual grasses, 'tired' was an understatement.
"That Flower Granny is really something, giving us so much Immortal Bell Grass at once. We don't have time to cultivate at all throughout the day."
Feng Ming lay on the ground. She couldn't just watch Weiwei work alone. One person and two small beasts worked for half the day before watering all the Immortal Bell Grass. They were exhausted.
"Have you considered that this wasn't just assigned to me alone?" Chu Lingwei found it amusing. Such a large area of Immortal Bell Grass clearly wasn't meant for just her.
These two small beasts were definitely included.
"Ah, you mean, this is for the three of us?" Feng Ming lifted her head, then dropped heavily back to the ground. To think that she, a dignified divine beast, had to plant spirit grass for them.
It made her so angry.
"It must be. Weiwei definitely can't finish it alone." The Illusion Cat complained inwardly. These demons were so calculating, they wouldn't even let them, spirit beasts, off the hook.
"Let's go, our work for today is done, let's head back."
Chu Lingwei stood up and walked back. There was still a little time left today, and she could go back to cultivate for a while.
"Little cat." As they passed by the cat demon's post, he beckoned to the Illusion Cat.
The Illusion Cat glanced at the cat demon and then jumped onto his table, tilting its head to look at him.
"Here, eat this, it's very delicious." The cat demon took out several dried fish from his arms. They exuded spiritual energy.
The Illusion Cat looked at the dried fish and couldn't help but frown. It didn't want to eat such things.
Chu Lingwei watched this scene and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that no matter where you were, your own kind would look after each other.
"Take it and eat it. This is the best food we have here." Seeing that the Illusion Cat didn't accept, the cat demon pushed the dried fish into its arms and explained.
