Countless Questions
Liu Yunan would send Bai Zhu to help with all sorts of important and minor matters in the sect, so that they could get in touch with and understand these matters.
It wasn't that they were taking advantage of Bai Zhu, a mere laborer; it was just that Brother Xiao had told him that Bai Zhu, as the disciple who passed the Heart-Questioning Road the fastest, was certainly no ordinary person.
Furthermore, after spending time with Bai Zhu, Liu Yunan himself had come to like him very much. Whatever tasks were assigned to him, he would complete them diligently. If he occasionally made a mistake, he would immediately find a way to fix it. He never made excuses for his mistakes, and he was never arrogant or complacent when praised. He cultivated quickly and was very diligent. He was friendly and gentle to others. In short, he was a very good person.
The only problem is that he's too unassuming; to put it simply, he's like a gentle rain that nourishes without making a sound. Moreover, while he's diligent in his work, he tends to bury himself in his tasks, making it difficult for him to lead others.
However, Liu Yunan remembered that Brother Xiao had also said that everyone has their own suitable position and things to do, and it is not necessary for everyone to be good at only one aspect. Therefore, he did not insist that Bai Zhu be trained to have more leadership and appeal. He just wanted to give it a try, and he felt that Bai Zhu still had a lot of potential.
Therefore, Bai Zhu macrocephala is seen in many things.

Xiushui City.
Crowds thronged the area, and vehicles flowed in a constant stream.
Shops lined the streets, shopkeepers greeted customers, and peddlers sang and called out their wares. Who would have thought this city had only been built a month ago?
The capture of the spies in the Immortal Cultivation Realm is undoubtedly great news for cultivators in the Mortal Realm, as no one likes being constantly monitored.
As for whether the Immortal Cultivation Realm will find out and cause trouble for them, there's no use worrying about it. After all, it has already happened, and low-level cultivators are especially unconcerned about it.
Anyway, the sect leaders and elders of the major sects will naturally handle the future matters. These low-level cultivators can't decide anything, so they might as well enjoy the present moment.
Having heard that the Pusi Kingdom had built a Xiushui City, they saved up their Spirit Stone and planned to come and take a look. After all, it had been a long time since the cultivators of the Mortal Realm had seen such a lively place.
Many merchants, both mortals and cultivators, flocked to the area, seeing the business opportunity, while even more tourists and people wanting to settle there came.
Many cultivators who had only recently joined the sect considered moving their families here after witnessing the various facilities and methods of maintaining order in Xiushui City. This would ensure the safety of their families in the mortal world, provide them with a better life, and allow them to settle their mortal family ties.
Many cultivators also want to set up a small stall here. Most of them are small items that disciples of major sects have accumulated within their sects, while some are special items that Rogue Cultivator have acquired by chance.
Naturally, many ordinary people and merchants also come here wanting to open shops or set up stalls to do business.
Upon entering the city, anyone wishing to engage in business is instructed to register at the Trade Affairs Center Trade Affairs Center, which has been extremely busy lately.
There are just too many people.
Wen Liyun walked hand in hand with her father through the crowd, her eyes scanning left and right at the various novel things and people on the street.
"Daddy, it's so lively here! It's so much fun!" he said to Wen the Eldest.
The Wen the Eldest looked at Wen Liyun with eyes full of affection, but then saw him suddenly raise his finger and point at a man in a Daoist robe who had just emitted a wisp of light from his hand when a bolt of lightning struck him down. The Wen the Eldest, knowing his son well, immediately reached out and tightly covered Wen Liyun's mouth to prevent him from making a sound.
"Liyun, be good, don't talk nonsense and point fingers at people." With that, Wen the Eldest raised his hand and pressed down Wen Liyun's raised arm, then took his hand and quickly left. "Come on, let's hurry to the bookstore to buy the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones we need for school in a couple of days."
A few days ago, Lingxian Academy started its entrance examination. Yesterday, the admission notice was delivered to the Wen Household. All the children in the Wen Household can enroll, but they have been roughly divided into classes according to their different academic levels. The school will officially start in three days.
Today, the Wen Household father and son came out specifically to buy writing implements. In the past, the family mainly supported Wen Liyun's education. Now that all the children can go to school, there are naturally more items to buy. The head of the family, Wen Xiangzhi, gave the items that Wen Liyun used to use to his younger siblings and asked his eldest son to take his eldest grandson to buy some new ones in the city.
The Wen Household father and son left in a hurry, and many people around, seeing that there was a person who had been struck by lightning, also moved away.
Over the past month, the city's residents have become somewhat accustomed to this situation. They had clearly explained to these cultivators upon entering the city that any means of attack or destruction were prohibited, yet some people still wouldn't listen and insisted on trying it out themselves before they would give up.
However, this is also because there has never been such a city in the Mortal Realm. Cultivators who are used to speaking with their fists are naturally difficult to persuade with just a few words of "prohibition".
These cultivators haven't gotten used to it yet. Once they've all gotten used to the existence and strength of Xiushui City, they probably won't try to break the rules anymore.
Although the mortals had the protection of Xiushui City, they didn't dare to say anything to these troublesome cultivators. They simply pretended not to see them and quickly moved away.
The cultivator who had just triggered the lightning punishment in the city was still standing there, stunned.
He wasn't stunned by the lightning strike; he was simply shocked.
This Mortal Realm actually possesses such a fortified city formation?
Isn't this something that only exists in their Immortal Cultivation Realm?
Where in the Mortal Realm would the ability and resources to construct such a grand formation come from?
He'd never heard of it before!
They clearly bought intelligence from Myriad Connections before they came. Wasn't Myriad Connections supposed to know everything about the Mortal Realm?
How come they haven't heard a thing about such Dayi Xiushui City?
Could it be that Myriad Connections deliberately concealed the truth?
What happened to the Mortal Realm being a barren wasteland?
Moreover, the Spiritual Qi here seems to be much stronger than in other places.
Why would Myriad Connections not reveal any information about such a remarkable city in the barren Mortal Realm? Could it be that Myriad Connections harbors ill intentions?
Even if Myriad Connections didn't reveal it, logically, other cultivators must have visited the Mortal Realm over the years and seen this city. There's no reason why the Immortal Cultivation Realm wouldn't have any news about it, right?
The only possibility that could control the spread of these messages is that they were intercepted by Myriad Connections.
In a short moment, countless doubts arose in the cultivator's mind, and he even forgot to treat the backlash injuries on his body.
He had already pondered why the Mortal Realm had places so similar to their Immortal Cultivation Realm, and thus concluded that Myriad Connections was concealing the truth.
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him.
