Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16389
Chapter 16387. Joining the Cult
The place where the Li family head lived was a large cave, containing many smaller caves, resembling a very large courtyard. This large courtyard was further divided into smaller courtyards, all inhabited by members of the Li family. Previously, rooms in the underground base were randomly assigned, but after all the families returned to the base, the rooms were rearranged. Smaller families, like the Li and Lu families, all lived together. The Li family
head had instructed his family members that someone would come to see him that evening, so they already knew this. In front of the large cave belonging to the Li family, on either side, were two smaller caves. These two smaller caves housed two people, both disciples of the Li family, and quite powerful. They acted as gatekeepers, guarding the large cave.
Wan Feng is a disciple of the Wan family. He is over ninety years old this year. Of course, a cultivator’s age cannot be discerned from his appearance; he looks only in his forties. He was originally just an ordinary disciple of the Wan family, doing ordinary work to support his small family.
Don’t assume that everyone in a large family lives a good life. In fact, only a small portion of people in large families truly live well. Those geniuses, of course, receive special training from the family and live very well, as do the higher-ups in the family. But ordinary family disciples like Wan Feng, who don’t have any talent, are provided with some cultivation resources by the family when they are young. Once it is discovered that they truly lack talent, the family will no longer care about them. However, this does not mean that the family completely abandons them. The family will arrange for them to work in the family’s businesses so that they can support their families.
In large families, there are many people like Wan Feng. This time, the Wan family selected Wan Feng. Wan Feng’s strength has just reached the Throne level. Such strength may be considered good among ordinary rogue cultivators, but it is not enough in a large family like the Wan family. Therefore, he lives a very ordinary life with a tight budget.
Originally, Wan Feng was living a fairly comfortable life, but then he had a child with decent talent. Wan Feng’s child was at least more talented than him, but not quite up to the family’s standards for focused training. Such children generally have two paths: one, give up cultivation and find work within the family. Because of their talent, their cultivation level might be higher than Wan Feng’s, allowing them to do more work and earn more. However, this would mean permanently losing the opportunity for further advancement. The second path is for the family to contribute some money and subsidize others, allowing them to continue cultivating. This could potentially increase their strength, but they would have to pay a significant portion themselves.
Don’t think this is the family treating them badly; many people desperately seek such opportunities. Even those with money often can’t obtain cultivation techniques and resources, let alone receive family subsidies. Even small families like the Li family don’t offer such treatment, as the investment is too large, and there’s no guarantee of nurturing any talent.
Although the Wan family’s treatment was excellent, training a cultivator required an enormous amount of money. Wan Feng was just an ordinary member of the Wan family; he didn’t earn much. However, he couldn’t bear to see his child suffer the same fate. He wanted his child to advance further, so he participated in the family’s selection process. The family had promised that anyone who participated in the operation would receive a sum of money, regardless of when they died. If they died in battle, they would receive an additional sum, enough for his child’s cultivation for a long time. For his child’s sake, Wan Feng participated in the operation. Many others selected by the Wan family had the same reason.
Because of his rigid and meticulous nature, Wan Feng was appointed as the squad leader of this hundred-man team. He was also the leader of the team that came to see the Li family head. Wan Feng
arrived at the cave where the Li family resided. He didn’t rush in but stood at the entrance, cupping his fists towards the cave and asking, “May I ask if this is the Li family’s cave?” He spoke very politely.
At this moment, a man emerged from the cave. He appeared to be under thirty years old. He sized up Wan Feng, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, “Indeed, this is the Li family’s cave dwelling . May I ask who you are, fellow Daoist?”
Wan Feng replied in a deep voice, “I am Wan Feng. I have already made an appointment with the Li family.”
Upon hearing this, the man immediately said, “Good, please come in. The patriarch is already waiting for you.” Wan Feng responded, and then led the Wan family members into the Li family’s cave dwelling.
The Li family’s cave dwelling was quite large. Upon entering, there was an open space, not very large, only about a hundred square meters, but about five zhang high. In the cave walls, there were numerous openings, clearly indicating individual rooms. The moment
Wan Feng and his group entered, the cave dwelling immediately felt somewhat cramped. At this moment, the Li family head also came out. He glanced at Wan Feng and the others, then said, “People from the Wan family?”
Wan Feng quickly bowed and said, “Indeed, is this the Li family head?”
The Li family head nodded, then returned the bow and said, “I know why you have come. I have already explained everything, so you don’t need to ask any more questions.” After saying that, he clapped his hands, and with his voice, members of the Li family emerged from the cave entrance on the cave wall. After these people appeared, the Li family head said to Wan Feng, “You can decide for yourselves which cave you want to go to. There are twenty Li family disciples in total. Five people can go to each of them, making a total of one hundred people. Once inside, do whatever they tell you to do.”
Wan Feng thanked them again, then let the Wan family members choose their own people. He also chose a disciple from the Li family and flew over directly.
The Li family disciple led Wan Feng and the others into the room. The room wasn’t very big; upon entering, one could see a small living room. Six people standing in the living room would feel a bit cramped, but no one cared about that now. There weren’t any tables or chairs in the living room, only a few futons, so it seemed rather empty. Against the wall at the far end of the living room, there was a long table, and on the long table was a statue of a deity, only a little over a foot tall—the statue of the God of Creation.
The Li family disciple turned to Wan Feng and said, “Everyone, kneel down with me. Then I will recite the prayer. Say what I say, and do what I do.”
Wan Feng and the others all responded. They were all a little nervous, but they still knelt down with the Li family disciples. After they knelt down, the Li family disciple took the lead and said, “O all-knowing and all-powerful God, please hear the voice of your most faithful believer. Your most faithful believer will guide some new believers to God’s kingdom to see you. Please see your most faithful believer.”
The others followed him and recited the prayer. Although their pronunciation was a little off, they still recited it. After they finished, they suddenly found themselves in a white space, and then the God of Creation appeared before them.
The God of Creation glanced at Wan Feng and the others, then said, “Your motives are impure, but it doesn’t matter. I will give you what you want.”
The next moment, Wan Feng and the others suddenly found themselves back in the room of the Li family disciples, still kneeling in front of the statue, as if everything before them had been an illusion.
At this moment, the Li family disciple bowed three times to the statue of the god again, and Wan Feng and the others followed suit. Only then did the Li family disciple stand up. He turned to look at Wan Feng and the others, who all stood up as well. The Li family disciple looked at them and said, “The god said that your motives were impure, but he still agreed to accept you. That means that although you have other intentions, you have no ill will towards the god. That’s good. You don’t need to do anything next. After you go back, each of you should make a statue. The statue doesn’t need to be too big. Then place the statue in your room and pray once a day. You can say whatever you want in your prayer, but you must add ‘All-knowing and All-powerful God’ at the beginning. That’s all. Okay, you can leave now.”
Wan Feng and the others really didn’t expect things to be so simple, but since the Li family disciple had agreed, they accepted it. So they all bowed to the Li family disciple and left the room. When they left the room, they found that the other members of the Wan family had also left the room, and the Li family head was waiting for them.
Once they had all left the room, Patriarch Li said, “We’ve done everything we could to help you. The rest is up to you.” Wan Feng and the others responded. Wan Feng then bowed to Patriarch Li and said, “Thank you, Patriarch Li. We will always remember this. Thank you.” Patriarch
Li waved his hand and said in a deep voice, “You can go back now.” Wan Feng and the others acknowledged and left the Li family’s cave dwelling.
After leaving the Li family’s cave dwelling, they went directly back to the Wan family’s residence. The Wan family had more people, so their residence was much larger than the Li family’s. Their residence contained several large cave dwellings, each larger than the Li family’s, with Wan Ling’s being the largest.
Wan Feng, being their captain, went directly to Wan Ling’s cave dwelling to request an audience. Upon hearing that Wan Feng had arrived, Wan Ling immediately led him to his study.
As soon as Wan Feng entered Wan Ling’s study, he immediately bowed to Wan Ling and said, “Greetings, Elder.” Wan Ling’s study was not large and was not furnished with many things, only a desk and a chair.
