What happened to the Beast Master School on the Grand Cloud Mountain was not surprising. There were thousands of sects in the Wanxian League, and most of them inevitably had to deal with mortals. There were only a few sects like Kunlun Immortal Sect that didn't eat the common people's food. And as long as they had dealings, conflicts were inevitable, so it was not unusual. In addition, the sects in the Wanxian League were not few in number. The Beast Master School, which liked to associate with spirit beasts, was relatively mild. After all, the whole conflict was limited to injuring a few people, which damaged the face of the Grand Cloud Empire's Imperial Family and White Dragon Temple.
If they were to encounter those truly extreme sects, they would directly tie a few low-level disciples to themselves with lava essence, exploding runes, and other such things, and then launch a suicide attack while shouting nonsense. That would be the most splendid scene.
The only thing that could arouse Wang Lu's interest was the Beast Master School. As a third-rank sect, although it was at the bottom of the high-rank sects, it was still a high-rank sect. White Dragon Temple, Merciful Cloud Mountain, and the others were sects that had been around for thousands of years in the Grand Cloud Empire, but they were only fourth-rank sects, which belonged to the middle-rank sects.
This gap was very important to Wang Lu, because the efficiency of using high-rank sects to increase his reputation was not something that middle-rank sects could compare to.
And according to the newly issued additional rule regarding the lead disciple in the Lingjian School, in addition to the title of lead disciple, if a disciple did something that boosted the sect's reputation, they would get corresponding points according to the impact and other factors. And by using these points, they could obtain a variety of sect titles granted by the Heavenly Sword Hall.
After all, the number of lead disciple was limited, which was not conducive to stimulating the overall enthusiasm of the sect. However, there was no limit on the title, which could let a hundred flowers bloom.
And the sect title was not only an honor, but also a substantial reward. The Heavenly Sword Hall would, according to the characteristics of the title, forge the corresponding level equipment for the disciple, and how could the Heavenly Sword Hall's products be ordinary? High-rank magical treasures were not rare, and even spiritual treasures could be tailored.
For the Wisdom Sect's leader with a net worth of hundreds of millions of spirit stones, spiritual treasures might not be too rare, but tailor-made spiritual treasures were not common. Eight hundred thousand spirit stones might be able to buy an eighth rank spiritual treasure, but if he wanted to buy one that was as good as the Sword of Mount Kun, even if Wang Lu invested eight million spirit stones, it would still be difficult. This time, when he descended the mountain, he would grind up his reputation, unlock his title, and exchange for treasures. These were the most important things. According to the school's point system, if Wang Lu was able to flatten this Beast Taming School's Division, he would be able to earn more points than if he were to challenge the White Dragon Temple and Merciful Cloud Mountain.
Of course, with Wang Lu's current ability, going to find a group of people founded by Daoist King Pill was no different from seeking his own death. Although the Beast Taming School's reputation wasn't good, it wasn't evil. Going to cause trouble for them without rhyme or reason was unreasonable.
Wang Lu pondered for a moment and decided to put this matter in his mind for the time being.
While thinking, Ye Chuchen eagerly asked, "Mr. Director, could it be that the Spirit Sword Immortals and the Beast Taming School have some kind of friendship with each other?"
Wang Lu frowned. "No, we don't have any kind of friendship with anyone, we're just a lone wolf."
"..." Ye Chuchen hesitated. Should he praise the Lingjian School for being noble and virtuous, or should he join the Director in ridiculing the sect … The scale was really hard to grasp.
After thinking about it, the Vice Sect Leader decided to change the topic. "Then I wonder who is Mr. Director going to send the letter to? Although the Wisdom Sect hasn't opened up their territory in the Grand Cloud Empire, it's still convenient to inquire about some information. "
Wang Lu looked at the letter in his hand and said, "I haven't seen that person before. I only heard a few words from my Master. However, from the name, it should be a bald man."
"Zen?" Ye Chuchen felt strange. "There are not many Zen cultivators in the Grand Cloud Empire. There's not even a Zen sect in the vicinity of the Grand Cloud Mountain. Could it be a loose cultivator? But it doesn't matter. Can you tell me the name of that master? Perhaps I know it. "
"Gou Ruo."
"..." Ye Chuchen froze for a long time and then softly asked, "What?"
"Have you heard of Zen Master Gou Ruo?"
"... This subordinate is ignorant and inexperienced, so I really haven't heard of it. However, I can mobilize the Wisdom Sect's disciples, or ask the Wanxian League related organization in the Grand Cloud Empire …"
Before he could finish, Wang Lu coldly glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot. "This time, find a city near the Grand Cloud Mountain and stop there. After that, you don't need to care about it, and you don't need to inquire about the information."
Ye Chuchen was startled, and then he secretly scolded himself for being muddle-headed. Wang Lu was very likely to find trouble with the third rank Beast Taming School. If the Wisdom Sect insisted on playing a role in this, once it was discovered, he couldn't afford the consequences.

A day later, the Cloud Wave Boat landed in the Grand Cloud Empire's territory, outside the Moral Enlightenment City on the southern side of the Grand Cloud Mountain.
The Moral Enlightenment City was a prefectural city in the Grand Cloud Empire. Its scale was huge, and its population was in the millions. Inside the city, it was bustling with traffic. Moreover, what made Ye Chuchen amazed was that this city was filled with the aura of cultivators. In addition to those ordinary houses with exquisite workmanship and materials, there were also a lot of cultivators' residences. For example, there were no less than ten floating courtyards. However, the residents of the city regarded this as normal. Obviously, they had long adapted to it.
And this was just a prefectural city in the Grand Cloud Empire. If it were the capital, it was unknown how prosperous it would be.
Ye Chuchen couldn't help but sigh. "Alas, this is indeed the Cloud Region. A prefectural city has such a scene. Even the capital of the Great Ming Country is quite inferior to it. No wonder people say that the Blue River Region is the weakest in the Nine Regions. There is indeed a gap. "
Wang Lu said, "If there is a gap, then catch up. What's the use of sighing about it? Or do you want to jump ship and emigrate?"
Ye Chuchen knew that he had repeatedly said the wrong things, which had deducted a lot of points in the leader's heart. Thus, while secretly cursing himself for being stupid, he tactfully excused himself, no longer bothering Wang Lu.
After Ye Chuchen left, Wang Lu used a spell to put the Cloud Wave Boat into his mustard seed bag. After that, he didn't hurry to enter the city. Instead, he carefully looked at the vast city outside the city. He always felt that there was something wrong with this city. Therefore, he reached out and patted Liu Li. "Little Liu Li, tell me your opinion."
Liu Li wrinkled her nose. Her clear eyes reflected the outline of the city.
Perhaps Liu Li would never be as smart and quick-witted as others, but because of her extremely simple temperament, she could keenly perceive the essence of things. Five years ago, in the duel on the Grand Cloud Platform, Liu Li was even earlier than the Elders in the audience that Wang Lu had the Big Heart Demon Oath as well as the ability to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Her insight was outstanding.
"Seems to be sick." A moment later, Liu Li gave a simple and crisp conclusion. Then, she took out the beef and happily ate it.
"Sick?" Wang Lu pondered for a moment and had a general guess in his heart. "Very well, let's go into the city first. This kind of bustling city should have local delicacies, right?"
Liu Li cheered. "Okay!"
The mottled dog also began to bark nonstop, full of joy.

After one person and two pets entered the city, they didn't show their cultivator identity. Just like the foreign tourists that could be seen everywhere in the Moral Enlightenment City, they curiously wandered around the city.
Along the way, Wang Lu bought snacks for Liu Li and the stupid dog. The eating habits of the Cloud Region and the Blue River Region were indeed quite different, and the food in the city had its own characteristics. However, after walking three to five streets, Wang Lu found an unsurprising rule: meat was extremely rare.
In a cold cooked meat shop, Wang Lu asked for a few sausages and a few large pieces of smoked meat. While paying the bill, he casually asked, "Boss, do you have braised dog meat?"
As soon as his voice fell, the face of the meat shop owner, who was as sturdy as an iron tower, changed dramatically. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and push Wang Lu out of the shop. However, at this time, Wang Lu had already taken the sausages and was still paying. If he were to be pushed out like this, the business would be in vain.
Thereupon, the boss hurriedly took a few steps forward, closed the shop door, and then angrily complained, "You two customers are really … It's fine if you're looking for trouble, but don't implicate me! Seeing you with a dog, I thought you were … I didn't expect you to be so insensible! "
Wang Lu was surprised. "Boss, what are you talking about? Buying a pile of your things, and you're complaining instead? That's fine, I don't want that pile of sausages and smoked meat anymore. I'm leaving. "
The boss pulled back Wang Lu. "You don't know what's good for you! I'm telling you, you can say whatever you want in other places, but in this Moral Enlightenment City, it's best not to mention dog meat. " He paused for a moment, and then said with a helpless expression, "Not to mention dog meat … it's better to eat less of any kind of meat. I'm afraid that in a few years, everyone in this Moral Enlightenment City will become vegetarian."
Wang Lu asked, "What's the reason for this? I've heard that this Moral Enlightenment City is famous far and near as a gourmet city, how did it become a vegetarian city? "
The meat shop owner stuck his head out of the door and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he sat down and complained, "Isn't it because of that group of cultivators? You're an outsider, so you don't know. More than a year ago, a group of cultivators from the Beast Master School came to the Grand Cloud Mountain to the north of this Moral Enlightenment City. Then, they went around saying that this meat can't be eaten, that meat can't be eaten, and that the rules are greater than the law. Although they can't find trouble with you in the open, they can still make things difficult for you in the dark. "
Wang Lu was amused. "Beast Master School? Don't tell me they rely on steamed buns and flower rolls to raise spirit beasts? Don't those fierce spirit beasts also eat meat as food? "
"Hehe, who says they don't? Unfortunately, in their eyes, we common people can't even compare to the birds and beasts they raise …" The boss said, feeling even more vexed. "My shop, two years ago, was still the best business shop in this area. Now, you see, how many people still come to visit?"
Wang Lu nodded. "Then I have to thank you, boss, for reminding me. But, it's actually not a big deal, right?"
The boss said, "Yes, it's not like we can't eat any meat. Moreover, even if we don't eat meat, people won't die. Therefore, although everyone complains, their days can still go on. It's a pity that I, your father, have spent my entire life in this area, but I don't know how to eat in the future? "
"It's just starting from the beginning." Hearing this, Wang Lu felt that he had already gathered enough information. He no longer chatted with the boss, and went straight out the door.
The Beast Master School's influence in Moral Enlightenment City was still limited. Otherwise, just based on the boss' criticism of the Beast Master School just now, he would be courting death.
That being the case, as long as he didn't take the initiative to stir up trouble in the city, there wouldn't be any trouble.
In theory …
