Independent cultivators, lacking a foundation and the protection of elders or sects, face constant dangers in the Spirit Stream battlefield; hence, many of them band together for safety, forming small groups.
On the Nine Provinces continent, many of the emerging sects started as such small groups.
In this area, centered around a healing cultivator named Hua Ci, more than a dozen independent cultivators have gathered to form a small group called the Independent Wanderers Society.
Ruan Lingyu was a naïve young girl. With some investigation, Lu Ye had figured out the general strength of the cultivators in the Independent Wanderers Society.
Hua Ci had the highest cultivation level, at the Level 5 realm, under her were two at Level 4, and the rest were mostly cultivators of Level 2-3, totaling eleven people. However, since Lu Ye had been healing in his room recently, aside from Hua Ci and Ruan Lingyu, he had only met another cultivator at Level 4.
