This city is only a few hundred miles away from the mountain gate of Yanyun Cave, so it can be regarded as protected by Yanyun Cave.
After all, although Yanyun Cave is closed to the public, the Yuanshen Sect's power is still there, and some servants go out to do things from time to time.
There are not many of these handymen, but they are basically monks in the foundation-building stage, and the leader is Master Jindan.
Besides, outsiders can't tell the difference between the formal disciples and the handymen of Yanyun Cave.
Other surrounding cultivation forces generally do not take the initiative to get involved here due to their scruples about the Yanyun Cave.
The handymen sent by Yanyun Cave often purchase various items from this market.
Over time, this city developed very prosperously, attracting many monks from the surrounding area.
The monks of Yanyun Cave stay behind closed doors, and only the handyman disciples go out for shopping. If Meng Zhang and the others wanted to obtain information about Yanyun Cave, they could only start with these handymen.
Granny Liansi did not strictly limit the time for Meng Zhang to complete the task, leaving him plenty of time.
Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying flew outside Fangshi and transformed into two foundation-building monks. Their appearance was completely different from before.
The two of them flew into the sky again, flying slowly towards Fangshi ahead.
In this city, there are usually several Jindan-level casual cultivators in charge, and the management is not very strict.
The monks can enter by simply stating their name and origin.
Within the city, apart from not allowing direct fights, there are no strict rules.
Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying made up the origins of their names at will, and after a simple registration, they entered the market.
The main force of transactions in the market was the foundation-building monks. There was nothing surprising about the two of them and they did not attract anyone's attention.
Both Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying were proficient in mind-reading powers, and after walking around the city, they quietly obtained a lot of information.
Then they found an inn to stay.
Opposite this inn is the largest grain store in the city.
The handymen of Yanyun Cave will go to the market to purchase goods once every ten days and a half or as long as a month.
For every purchase, a large amount of spiritual rice is essential.
This grain store is almost a must-visit place for them.
The inn also operates a restaurant business.
After completing the purchase of spiritual rice and other things in the grain store, these handymen would have a few drinks in the restaurant before returning to Yanyun Cave.
Their cultivation is not weak, and they have the background of Yanyun Cave, but no one dares to play tricks like killing people and seizing treasures.
Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying booked a small courtyard in the inn and waited quietly.
There were many monks coming and going in this city, doing whatever they wanted, but no one paid attention to Meng Zhang and the others.
Meng Zhang and the others were lucky. After waiting for more than half a month, a group of handyman disciples from Yanyun Cave arrived in Fangshi early in the morning by flying boat.
Yanyun Cave is considered the real landlord here, so the monks sent by Yanyun Cave naturally received a warm welcome from the person in charge of Fang City.
The two leading Jindan monks and a few cronies accepted the warm invitation of the person in charge of Fangshi and went to a drinking party.
Those lower-status handymen began to make purchases on a large scale.
This group of people is generous with their purchases and purchases huge amounts. They are the most popular customers of various stores.
It was a rare occasion for these handyman disciples to come out and have fun.
From time to time, some monks who have completed their purchases will find a place to relax in the market.
At noon, there were three handymen in the foundation building period. After purchasing spiritual rice and spiritual grain, they went to the restaurant to have a drink.
The small courtyard where Meng Zhang and the others live is only about thirty feet away from the restaurant.
In his and Xu Mengying's spiritual perception, every move of everyone in the restaurant was under control.
Xu Mengying, who majored in the spiritual path, was proficient in all kinds of spiritual secrets. Without anyone noticing, her spiritual thoughts sneaked into the restaurant and began to explore the three servants in the foundation building period.
Logically speaking, the cultivation levels of the two parties are vastly different. With Xu Mengying's ability, she can easily figure out the deepest secrets in their hearts without their knowledge.
At the beginning, everything went very smoothly, and everything went according to Xu Mengying's plan.
This restaurant is famous for its fine wine, and the three busboys are all good drinkers.
While the wine was intoxicating, their minds were already a little confused.
Unknowingly, Xu Mengying's spiritual thoughts had entered their hearts and probed for various information.
Xu Mengying was not interested in the handymen themselves. What she wanted to know was the information about Yanyun Cave.
Even if they are not formal disciples of Yanyun Cave, they have stayed in Yanyun Cave for so long, and they should have some understanding of the situation inside.
A lot of information was transmitted back to Xu Mengying one after another through spiritual thoughts.
This group of handyman disciples have different origins, and many of them are not from Yanyun Cave.
The True Lord Yuanshen of Yanyun Cave would go out secretly from time to time and recruit a group of monks outside.
Being able to serve the True Lord Yuanshen is something that many monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage and even the Golden Core Stage can only dream of.
Although they are just handymen, the treatment given by Yanyun Cave is very good.
Spiritual stones and elixirs are distributed in full, and you can also enter the Scripture Collection Pavilion in Yanyun Cave and read some ordinary classics.
The Yuanshen True Lord of Yanyun Cave even promised that if they perform well and never make mistakes, they will become official disciples of Yanyun Cave and have a greater future.
There are three-point nails in the rotten ship, and the Yuanshen sect in decline, they all have a background.
For these casual cultivators, becoming a formal disciple of the Yuanshen Sect and being cultivated by the True Lord Yuanshen is a good thing that they have never dreamed of.
Of course, in order to prevent them from betraying, the True Lord Yuanshen of Yanyun Cave placed restraints in their bodies.
Xu Mengying's spiritual thoughts continued to penetrate into their hearts, skipping those worthless contents, and prepared to start investigating the situation of Yanyun Cave.
Suddenly, Xu Mengying's spiritual thoughts stopped for a moment.
Xu Mengying discovered that restrictions were placed in the bodies of these three foundation-building period servants.
This is not an ordinary restriction. The ordinary True Lord Yuanshen cannot set such an exquisite and small restriction.
At first glance, the restriction only affects their physical bodies, but upon closer inspection, it is discovered that the restriction penetrates deep into their souls and unknowingly distorts their minds.
Because of the influence of the ban, these monks will instinctively believe in Yanyun Cave and want to be loyal to Yanyun Cave.
In their hearts, they simply cannot think of betraying Yanyun Cave or resisting Yanyun Cave.
Even their memories were greatly affected.
All the information they knew about Yanyun Cave was sealed deep in their hearts by restrictions.
As soon as they left Yanyun Cave, they almost forgot this information.
Even if outsiders catch them and use mind-reading or soul-searching techniques on them, they will not be able to obtain valuable information.
If the restriction is accidentally touched, it will alert the monks who set the restriction.
