Not only was Luo Chuan stunned, but even Lou Jingren and his fellow students looked dazed for a moment.

Everyone loves beauty; seeing something wonderful and feeling drawn to it is a perfectly normal human reaction.

Then, Lu Bai realized that he seemed to be a little abnormal.

Lu Bai loved fine food, power, influence, and beautiful people.

In other words, Lu Bai loved to indulge himself; for instance, he had a habit of sleeping in that few martial artists possessed.

However, although Lu Bai found this "Moon Immortal" beautiful, he felt no sexual desire toward her. His gut told him that there was something wrong with this person.

Is this some kind of special ability? Lu Bai felt a strange sensation.

He had always assumed that after dying and being resurrected, having gone through seventy-seven years of time, he hadn't changed at all. But it seemed that wasn't the case; after experiencing death once, he had at least gained an instinctive improvement in his ability to sniff out a "bitch."

Watching Lou Jingren and the "Moon Immortal" exchange pleasantries, Lu Bai felt a strange sense of detachment, as if he had become a complete outsider.

The "Moon Immortal" was the Pavilion Master of the Three Moon Pavilion in Dongjiang. She called herself Jiang Yue and very enthusiastically invited Lou Jingren, Lu Bai, and the others into the Three Moon Pavilion for a chat.

Inside the Three Moon Pavilion, everything was exquisitely crafted. Lu Bai was slightly taken aback when he saw this, then cast a strange look at Lou Jingren and Jiang Yue, who were still conversing.

In one of the small rooms of the Three Moon Pavilion, he had seen toilet paper and a flush toilet.

It wasn't strange for items from Earth to appear in the Martial Forest dimension since it had been invaded by Earth; it was normal for things to occasionally leak out and be acquired by others.

But facilities that required installation, along with consumables like toilet paper that needed a constant supply, were not normal.

The Three Moon Pavilion has Travelers behind it, and their relationship is quite close. Lu Bai realized this; only a close relationship would lead someone to put effort into daily necessities.

Otherwise, who would care whether you used a bamboo spatula or toilet paper?

Of course, besides that, Lu Bai confirmed one more thing.

So, even fairies have to take a dump, and it stinks too! Lu Bai moved slightly away from the room with the peculiar odor.

Of course, these things weren't important. What mattered was whether these people from Linjiang Academy were aware of the connection between the Three Moon Pavilion and the Travelers.

As a mature module production company, the Tianwu Group had the Tianwu Holy Land to suppress the world openly, while secretly supporting Lianwu Mountain to conduct assassination business. Supporting a hidden sect in the shadows was absolutely no problem for them.

After all, entering a dimension wasn't that easy; the opening of a Dimension Key required specific conditions.

Otherwise, the major companies' rule over dimensions wouldn't be through supporting local factions, but by sending in large numbers of personnel to carry out colonial rule through force, armed with various high-tech weapons.

Travelers cannot stay in a dimension for long. After staying for a period, they are inevitably pulled back to Earth.

There must be other restrictions that keep the Martial Forest dimension in its current state.

Observing the secrets behind the scenes from subtle details was also a talent.

Of course, Lu Bai preferred to apply this talent to combat; he didn't really like the feeling of deducing all these things.

But since he was still relatively weak, he had to think about these matters carefully.

If Linjiang Academy knows that the Three Moon Pavilion is supported by Travelers, then their purpose in coming here today is quite intriguing.

It's just that there are too many uncertain factors.

For example, whether a dimension only had one Dimension Key. If there were multiple, could people from other companies enter the dimension to set things up?

If so, the Three Moon Pavilion could be supported by other factions.

And if there were only one, then some problems would naturally manifest.

For instance, the changes at the Hundred Flower Grave. During that previous period, the Dimension Key had been in the hands of the Tianwu Group the entire time. The fact that they could quietly support the Hundred Flower Grave meant that the Tianwu Group likely had quite a few moles lurking within.

I wonder how long until they leave, and when the Dimension Gate will open next.

These were all things that needed to be considered. Travelers and natives were different; the advantages of Travelers were very obvious. As long as they had enough modules and combination recipes, they could quickly acquire power.

Those Travelers were all from big companies; it wasn't impossible for them to carry a full set, or even multiple sets, of modules.

Furthermore, one shouldn't mistake Travelers for weaklings who had suddenly gained power and therefore lacked practical combat ability or control over their strength.

On the contrary, Travelers actually had an advantage in this regard.

According to Lu Bai's observations, martial artists in the Martial Forest had to practice external techniques and internal energy, and could only squeeze in time to spar with friends to hone their combat skills, all while busy struggling to make a living.

But Travelers were different. Once a Traveler obtained a module, they only needed to familiarize themselves with the power and combat style it provided.

One person had to be a blacksmith forging a peerless sword while simultaneously practicing swordsmanship to become a peerless swordsman, and whether they could even forge the sword depended on talent and other factors.

The other person was simply handed a peerless sword and only needed to practice with it.

That was where the gap between the two widened.

It was undeniable that forging one's own foundation of power had certain advantages, but it consumed too much time and energy.

With that same time and energy, obtaining power early and analyzing it from a high vantage point would actually be much faster.

Lu Bai's own combat experience and talent were not lacking; what he lacked was the acquisition and understanding of modules.

Other Travelers had long possessed complete sets of modules, had a deeper understanding of them, and had practiced for much longer.

Therefore, if other Travelers still existed, they were the top-tier combatants in this world.

Lu Bai felt he needed to be prepared to deal with these people.

Fighting against the strong is the only thing that's interesting! Lu Bai smiled.

That smile made Jiang Yue, who had been watching Lu Bai lost in thought and intending to greet him, feel a sudden jolt of alarm, as if she were being stared at by something dangerous.

"Uh, who is this!" Of course, Jiang Yue knew who Lu Bai was—Blood Monk Lu Bai, an external martial arts expert who had appeared out of nowhere.

Although Three Moon Pavilion lived in seclusion, it still possessed its own intelligence channels.

However, in order to maintain her identity as a reclusive fairy, Jiang Yue naturally still needed a certain degree of disguise.

At the same time, she also wanted to investigate Lu Bai's background.

What on earth happened in the Upper Realm? Jiang Yue felt a hidden anxiety; she had been unable to contact the Upper Realm since some time ago.

Even the toilet paper is starting to run low.
