53- Xiao San is a caring and gentle person

The three left the eastern city, and after a while, they could see very high walls and a huge gate.

"This is the true city of the Liu clan. Liu clan members and people who have registered as residents can live here."

The three walked towards the gatekeeper and showed him the blue badge proving that they were a resident, then gave him thirty primeval stones in order for the three of them to enter.

As soon as they entered, San Ba ​​looked at the buildings in astonishment, he had never seen buildings of such design before but he thought they were very beautiful.

All buildings have the same design, but there are still some differences from one building to another, for example the color, size or shape, but the buildings are perfectly arranged.

Liu Yang designed these buildings similar to modern day houses, so they look very good and most people have never seen such buildings before.

"you have not eaten yet, I'll bring you to a famous shop, follow me." Xiang Shuo signaled to San Ba ​​to follow him.

"This is the culinary zone, with many restaurants mostly owned by Gu Master chefs. The delicacies are endless." But there was a big smile on Xiang Shuo's face as he pointed at the largest building, "But for me this is the best restaurant in the world. Eating here is very delicious but very expensive."

"Fortunately we have a gold badge and we can buy everything for half the price." While Xiang Shuo was speaking, San Ba ​​was not paying attention to him, but he fully paid attention to the enormity and splendid shape of this building.

The building, constructed over 57,519m², which stands out for its architecture and fluid, curved style which avoids sharp angles.

With a continuous design of auto-transformation in all directions, there is little sense of limits and no indication of an end. It is an immersion in a pool of space. The immateriality of a building which varies between white, more white and even whiter depending on the position of the sun on its surfaces, lends it a weightless character, liberating its visitors from gravitational obligations. As an object, the building is subjective, provoking strong reactions, unrestricted by the suspension of physical gravity.

"I don't understand, why they put so much effort into building this restaurant." After San Ba ​​came out of his daze, he looked at the other two questioningly.

"Idiot, this is sure to attract people. When news spreads about this place it will bring people curiosity and curiosity to see and discover it for themselves." Xiang Shuo looked at the other man as if he was a true idiot.

"And not only that, but the food here makes you addicted to it. There is nothing better in this world." The young girl almost drooled when she said that.

"This restaurant, from inner to outer, has first, second, third, fourth, fifth and outer area." Xiang Shuo introduced.

"Sirs, please come in." A smart waiter saw Xiang Shuo, the young girl and San Ba, and quickly came out to invite them.

"Sirs, please take a seat here." The waiter showed the way.

Xiang Shuo slightly frowned: "This hall is too noisy, we will go inner area."

The waiter immediately revealed an awkward expression: "I won't keep it from sirs, we indeed have private rooms inner area, but they are only opened to Gu Masters."

Xiang Shuo snorted and revealed a portion of snow-silver primeval essence.

The waiter quickly bent down: "I had failed to recognize Mount Tai, please come inner area!"

When they reached the stairs, the waiter stopped, a young and sweet looking girl walked over and spoke softly: "Lords, could I ask which area you want to go? fifth area provides for rank one and two Gu Masters or people who have a blue badge; fourth area provides for rank three and four Gu Masters or people who have a bronze and silver badge; third area provides for rank five Gu Masters or people with a gold badge."

"What about the second and first area?" San Ba ​​asked curiously.

"The first and second areas are not a restaurant, and it is forbidden to enter there without permission." The beautiful girl explained and then said with a smile, "But I heard that today the clan leader and Mister Xiao San will open those two areas to welcome the people who are registered as residents of the city."

"when is that?" Xiang Shuo had never heard of this news before.

"It's about two hours from now, so you can go into second and first area in an hour."

After thinking for a moment, Xiang Shuo nodded and then spoke to the two beside him. "We have enough time so let's eat first."

Xiang Shuo laughed: "We will go to the third area."

The girl's expression immediately became a bit more respectful. She bowed in greeting: "Please demonstrate your primeval essence or the golden badge."

Xiang Shuo took out the golden badge.

A moment later, Xiang Shuo, the young girl and San Ba sat at elegant seats on the third area, as a spread of delicacies were presented before them, each possessing visual appeal, fragrant smell, and flavor.

Steamed lamb, braised duck, steamed eight treasure pork, glutinous rice stuffed duck, stir-fried carp, assorted stuffed intestines, spicy oil crispy roll, honey yam, sliced fresh peach, eight treasure ding, steamed bamboo shoots, ape lips, camel humps, antlers, bear paws, three fresh osmanthus soup, beeswax pork trotters, fresh sharks' fin soup...

All these foods were abnormally delicious and the three could not stop eating until they had finished all the dishes, they even licked the dishes and made them look clean.

"Very delicious is not enough to describe the deliciousness of this food, I really envy the person who will marry who made this food." The young girl patted her stomach, which became slightly swollen due to overeating. "I don't mind marrying him even if he's just a mortal."

"Your thinking shows how stupid you are! If he's a Mortal I'll buy him and make him my slave." San Ba ​​looked at the girl with disdain.

What the two of them didn't know was that the one who created this food was a human path Gu worm of rank five Chef Gu with similar attainment to its food path user who was Liu Yang.

After they finished eating, they went to the second area because it had already been opened.

The second area was an open space sufficient for the presence of more than ten thousand people.

People started rushing inside and sitting on their designated seats according to the badge they carried.

Since San Ba ​​had come with Xiang Shuo, they let him sit in the area designated for people holding a golden badge.

"I wonder what they want to do to gather ten thousand people in one place in this way." The girl looked at the platform as she waited for the clan leader and Xiao San to appear.

"I don't know but I want to meet a Refinement Path Gu Master and ask him to refine a certain Gu worm for me." Xiang Shuo sat down while looking at the people around him, 'But it will be very difficult with so many Gu Masters around.'

After a while, nearly ten thousand people gathered in the second area and sat in silence when they heard a loud yell coming from the platform, "Please stop talking and give me your attention!"

Everyone looked at the lady who said that and it made their hearts tremble when they knew that she was the leader of the Liu Clan.

Everyone stopped talking and the noisy hall became completely quiet in the presence of a rank five Gu Master. No one had the courage to open their mouth and speak in front of her after she ordered them to be silent.

"I really thank you for registering as residents of this city, from today on you will be under our protection as long as you are in this city but in return I want you to fight with us if the city is attacked by anyone."

"Is there anyone opposing this who can raise their hand." After she said this, no one raised his hand.

Not because they will protect this city, but they will exploit it until the end, and when this city is really attacked, the majority of them will leave the city.

"Roughly 70% of you are lone cultivators and the rest are demonic path Gu masters. Our clan will give you cultivation resources if you carry out some missions for us and you can enter the internal affairs hall in order to take missions."

"And if you marry and have children, we will help them to awaken their aperture and allow them to go to our academy to study and learn."

Lone cultivators' eyes twinkled upon hearing this and they made the decision to live in this place because it was their best option, unlike the demonic path they were thinking of getting married and having children and if their children were taken care of by the Liu Clan, that would be a good thing.

The Demonic Path don't even think about marriage and all they care about is their own interest so they were tempted when they knew that they could choose the quests they wanted to do and earn cultivation materials.

After Liu Liu spoke for a while, an old man appeared and stood beside her, she gestured to him, "Let me introduce you to a Refinement Path Gu Master, Master Xiao San."

"Welcome all of you to this city, this city will be your home from now on and I will personally help you when you want to refine your Gu worms, and if you want to sell your Gu worms and exchange them for another, you can go to the places designated for these things in the city."

A gentle smile appeared on the old man's face as he spoke to the ten thousand people as if they were his grandchildren, "I know the suffering of lone cultivators because I was one of them before and I was suffering in obtaining resources due to clans monopolizing them or selling at a high price and some unfair transactions, that's why I met with the Liu clan leader and talked with her about bringing justice to lone cultivators and giving them a suitable environment for cultivation."

"I consider all lone cultivators to be like my grandchildren because I see myself in them. I really want to help you in every way so that you can live a good and respectful life that befits you."

All the lone cultivators understood what old man Xiao San meant and were very moved by his words, and some of them started to tear up upon hearing him say it. They really lived at the bottom of the hierarchy so Demonic Path Gu Masters had more cultivation resources than them (because the demonic path steals and kills).

"As for my demonic path friends, I beg you not to do any wrongdoing in this city. If you live calmly according to the rules, we will protect you and with our help you will get rid of your evil reputation as Demonic Path Gu Masters."

"I know that some of you lived hard lives and that some of you were framed by other clans causing the title of Demonic Path Gu Master to be called upon you, so this is your chance to prove to the world that you are not of the Demonic Path and that you can also be of the Righteous path too."

Some of the demonic path were affected by his words because his words already represented their current situation they were only lone cultivators and due to the accusations of the righteous path clans they were called demonic path and they really wanted to get rid of this title.

As for the demonic path who had a demonic nature, they looked at the old man's words with disdain.
