Vast Heaven Lost and Found!

Huan'er grew up in Tan City.

Tan City is one of the top-ranking major cities on the Blazing Sun Continent.

Its prosperity and wealth naturally rank among the top.

Therefore, Huan'er once believed that Tan City was the largest city in the world, as well as the most prosperous and wealthy place.

But until today... Huan'er arrived at the Haotian Mountain Range, and from afar, Huan'er saw the legendary Haotian City!

Standing before Haotian City, Huan'er suddenly felt like she was from the countryside!

In Tan City, some people say that as long as you have money, there's nothing you can't buy...

But looking at Haotian City at this moment, Huan'er realized for the first time that even if you have money, you can't necessarily buy anything here!

Land in Tan City is known as extremely valuable; many people struggle their entire lives in Tan City but still can't afford even a small, dilapidated house.

Huan'er once thought that the land in Tan City was the most expensive in the world.

But today... Huan'er realized as she entered Haotian City that compared to the land of Haotian City, the land of Tan City was truly just dirt!

In Tan City, if you have money, you can buy land anywhere you want. But land in Haotian City... it's not like that...

Huan'er saw with her own eyes a sign advertising the sale of residences in Haotian City, displaying a long list of prices that left Huan'er speechless...

Not only the price... but what's even more terrifying is that buying land in Haotian City... also requires a cultivation level...

The purchase requirement for that house is... a cultivation level of Martial Emperor or higher!

In other words, in Haotian City, even if you are rich, you are not qualified to buy a house here if your cultivation level does not reach the Martial Emperor level!

Not only were the land purchase demands terrifying, but what Huan'er found even more unbelievable was the goods sold in the shops of Haotian City. Huan'er came from the Mu Clan, and although she was a maid, she still had some knowledge of the world.

At this moment Huan'er looked around and saw that everything sold in those shops... was the very, very, very top-quality...

If those materials were placed in Tan City, they would be auction-worthy.

But now, these materials... are just casually displayed on the stalls and shops in Haotian City!

What Huan'er found even more unbelievable was that, apart from the shopkeepers and shop assistants, you couldn't even see any security personnel in these shops!

It's important to know that in Tan City, every shop is protected by its own skilled guards.

What if you run into someone who tries to steal your things?

Therefore, the more valuable the items sold in a shop, the stronger the guards will naturally be.

Many Rogue Cultivators are hired as shopkeepers.

But in Haotian City... none of the shops, regardless of the precious materials they sell, have any guardians?

"Brother... why aren't these shops guarded? Aren't they afraid of being robbed?"

Huan'er found a man next to her and asked him a question.

Upon hearing Huan'er's words, the man initially looked bewildered, then suddenly realized and said, "Miss, this must be your first time in Haotian City!"

"Yes, brother... In our hometown, all the shops have caretakers!"

"You're right, young lady. Back in my hometown, shops also have lookouts, but you've forgotten... This is Haotian City... This is Vast Heaven Holy Land territory!"

"What's wrong?" Huan'er, puzzled.

"Young lady... you know nothing about the Vast Heaven Holy Land! All the bandits and thieves in the world either dare not enter the Vast Heaven Holy Land, or if they do, they must behave properly, because this is the Vast Heaven Holy Land... Here, not only ordinary bandits, but even the Demonic Sect must behave properly!"

"Robbing shops in Haotian City will have the same result as robbing the Vast Heaven Holy Land. In Haotian City, any act of theft or robbery, once discovered, will result in immediate execution!"

"So in Haotian City, you can easily find your lost items, let alone rob a shop. There are rules in Haotian City that anyone who picks up someone else's belongings and doesn't return them will be expelled from Haotian City, and their descendants will never be allowed to enter Haotian City again. So this is a place where no one picks up lost items and doors are left unlocked at night!"

After the older brother finished speaking in one breath, Huan'er was completely dumbfounded!

Could there really be such a place in this world?

People don't pick up lost items on the road, and doors aren't locked at night—aren't those things things that only exist in legends?

But in Haotian City... is it really possible to do that?

"Young lady, you may not know this, Vast Heaven Holy Land recruits disciples not only based on talent, but also on character... Lord Xinghe once said that those whose character is not virtuous have absolutely no chance of entering the Vast Heaven Holy Land."

"Therefore, in Haotian City, everyone must abide by the rules. Once someone commits an evil deed here, they will truly never have the chance to enter the Vast Heaven Holy Land again for generations to come."

Huan'er's understanding was constantly being challenged by her elder brother's words. Huan'er walked along, she found that, just as her brother had said, there were no guards in any of the houses, and the people here didn't need to lock their doors.

"Who dropped this magical treasure? I found it! I've taken it to the lost and found office in Haotian City. Whoever lost it can go and claim it..."

Right in front of Huan'er, a Rogue Cultivator held up a magical treasure that emitted a purple light, and then headed towards the lost and found!

Huan'er was completely dumbfounded when she saw the magical treasure emitting a purple light...

A spiritual treasure that can emit purple light is a high-level spiritual treasure. If such a spiritual treasure were in Tan City, any one of them could allow a family of three to live a life of wealth.

But in Haotian City, if someone finds such a magical treasure, why would they immediately start shouting and then return it to that lost and found office?

If such a magical treasure were kept in Tan City, whoever found it would be overjoyed and would hide it away, never returning it to its owner!

Huan'er followed the Rogue Cultivator all the way to the lost and found...

Upon entering the lost and found, Huan'er was once again terrified. The so-called lost and found was simply a large building, but inside, Huan'er discovered rows of shelves filled with all sorts of magical treasures...

Huan'er even saw one of the sacred artifacts among them...

So many magical treasures were just sitting there, completely unguarded.

At this moment, there were many people searching everywhere in the lost and found!

"Is this Azure Water Shield yours, Brother Zhao?"

"Let me see... it looks a bit like it... but it's not. My Azure Water Shield is similar to this one, but mine has a small chip on it, while this one doesn't, so it must have been dropped by someone else..."

"Brother Zhao, don't worry. It's probably just that the person who found it hasn't taken it to the lost and found yet. There haven't been any reported cases of lost items in Haotian City..."

"Hey bro, you're looking for the Azure Shield, right...? Look, is the Azure Shield I just picked up yours?"

"My Azure Water Shield has a gap... Oh right, this is it... This is my Azure Water Shield, thanks bro..."

Right before Huan'er's eyes, Brother Zhao found his Azure Water Shield and then left with it...

Huan'er was dumbfounded... Why didn't he take the one without the nick? Wasn't that better? Both were Azure Water Shields.

Moreover, so many people here are searching for spiritual treasures, but what makes Huan'er's scalp tingle is that although these people have been searching for a long time, they won't even touch spiritual treasures that don't belong to them!

In other words, even though this place is filled with magical treasures and there isn't a single person guarding it, no one would take a magical treasure that doesn't belong to them!

Even though that golden, sacred artifact was right there, no one touched it!

"Miss... With so many magical treasures here, hasn't anyone secretly taken them?" Huan'er asked a pretty young lady next to her.

"Little sister, is this your first time in Haotian City? This is the lost and found, this is Haotian City. Things that don't belong to you are not allowed to be taken without permission here, according to the rules of the Vast Heaven Holy Land..."

"So no one's taking advantage of the situation?" Huan'er asked incredulously.

"Yes... Last year there was one who tried to take advantage of the chaos, but he was caught before he even left Haotian City and killed on the spot!" the young lady said with a smile!

"Little sister, your idea is very dangerous. Remember, Haotian City is the territory of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Here, the rules of the Vast Heaven Holy Land are above all else. Don't even think about doing anything sneaky or underhanded here, because if you're caught, the consequences will be something you can't afford."

"In Haotian City, let alone Rogue Cultivators like us, even important figures have to abide by the rules of the Vast Heaven Holy Land."

"Alright... I've found my Heartless Whip... Little sister, what did you lose? Take your time looking. If you can't find it, just wait. You absolutely can't lose anything in Haotian City. If you've lost it and haven't found it yet, feel free to ask a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. They can definitely help you find it!"

Huan'er watched the young lady leave with a smile, Huan'er realized, "I really did lose something... and I'm embarrassed..."

As Huan'er walked out of the lost and found, her head was still buzzing. For a fleeting moment Huan'er had an unrealistic idea.

If... I could live in Haotian City, how wonderful that would be.

But Huan'er knew that this was not the real world at all. This was Haotian City. She had heard that Haotian City had expanded a hundredfold in size since then, becoming the largest city in the Three Continents and even the Four Continents.

Even so, land prices in Haotian City are still unimaginably high, and those without a matching cultivation level are not even qualified to buy them.

Therefore, such a paradise on earth is simply not something that ordinary Rogue Cultivators can afford.

After leaving the lost and found, Huan'er asked for directions to the Vast Heaven Holy Land and planned to head there.

"Hey girl, what are you doing at Vast Heaven Holy Land?" the older man asked.

"I... I'm looking for someone..."

"Looking for someone? The Vast Heaven Holy Land has rules: you have to submit your post in the morning. It's already noon, past the submission deadline. So, little sister, you'd better wait until tomorrow morning."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Huan'er was helpless after hearing this, but since it was the rule of Vast Heaven Holy Land, she could only abide by it. Besides, there were still a few days before the young lady's wedding, so there was still enough time.

But when Huan'er decided to stay in Haotian City temporarily, Huan'er encountered a problem.

This is Haotian City... In our Tan City, the prices for a night's stay in those restaurants are outrageously high.

Huan'er had brought very little money with her when she came to Haotian City from Tan City, and now she had almost nothing left.

In Haotian City, where land is incredibly valuable, Huan'er felt that the money she had left wouldn't even be enough to buy a pancake, let alone stay at a hotel!

Just as Huan'er was considering whether to find a small alley in the city to make do, Huan'er saw a scene that completely stunned her...
