"Are you saying that this demon den is within the Immortal Sect Gathering?!" Li Yunshang was shocked by Jiang Wen's words. She had never imagined such an absurd thing could exist in the human world.
You should know that the Immortal Sect Gathering is a place where many rogue cultivators and even Immortal Sect disciples gather. There are also cultivators with profound Taoist skills sitting here, and there are also large formations to protect it. Not to mention demons, even some people with ulterior motives would have difficulty entering.
But right now, in the Immortal Sect Gathering in Suzhou City, a demon den specifically for cultivators to have fun actually exists. There are even many cultivators who enjoy it and have not revealed this matter at all.
"Those cultivators should be controlled by Sanshen Water. Once they leave Sanshen Water, they will find it difficult to extricate themselves. They are already addicted and will naturally help to hide this matter." Jiang Wen thought of the appearance of those cultivators, all of them were sallow and emaciated, without any energy. If it weren't for the life lamps still burning in their Qi Sea, perhaps no one would be able to associate them with cultivators.
Even in such a state, these cultivators still don't think there is anything wrong with this. On the contrary, they enjoy it and are unwilling to break free.
"Is this Sanshen Water really that good?! It can actually make cultivators unable to leave this thing?!" Li Yunshang was very puzzled. She didn't understand how cultivators who had gone through hardships to become Lamp Lighting Realm cultivators could be addicted to a kind of drink? What kind of magic does that Sanshen Water have that can even control cultivators?
"You and I have not used this Sanshen Water, so naturally we don't know its effect. If we can catch one to ask, we might know something." Jiang Wen thought, looking at the wooden ring. "Zi Yun has the ability to sense the soul and can also reflect the other party's six senses. We can use her ability to experience what kind of magic this Sanshen Water has."
"Alright, then we will catch a cultivator who has drunk Sanshen Water to interrogate." Li Yunshang clenched her fist and said. "But where should we find this kind of person?"
"There is a candidate." Jiang Wen suddenly smiled.
"Who?"
"Don't worry, my wife is currently in seclusion for cultivation, it won't be a hindrance." Jiang Wen warmly invited. The rat-faced cultivator declined again and again, but still walked into the other courtyard with a satisfied expression.
"According to you, most of the people in this Immortal Sect Gathering have been to Joyful Workshop?" Jiang Wen looked at the rat-faced cultivator and felt that this matter was getting bigger and bigger as he investigated. It was no longer just a simple God Worshiping Society problem.
"Fairy, since I was young, I have never done anything bad. Even if I accidentally step on an ant, I will be sad for a few days. How can I do such a thing that goes against my conscience?"
The two reached a consensus and cultivated in the other courtyard for one night. After dawn, they brought Yan Gongli over, and the group waited in the house for the rat-faced cultivator to come.
"Injustice, Fairy!" the rat-faced cultivator shouted. "How could I have such great ability to attract demons to stay in the gathering? This matter has nothing to do with me! It was all done by others."
"Haha, don't rush. Let's talk properly in the house." After saying that, Jiang Wen asked Zi Yun to drag him into the house.
"Good." Jiang Wen nodded.
Just as he stepped into the courtyard, the gate of the other courtyard immediately closed. Before he could recover, several thick vines缠住 his entire body.
"Yes, those newly arrived rogue cultivators can't control themselves, so they stay in Joyful Workshop all the time. This can't be blamed on me, it's that they can't control their desires." The rat-faced cultivator cried injustice.
"Is it you who attracted the demons?" Li Yunshang put her hands on her hips and stared straight at him.
"Far away in the sky, close in front of your eyes." He said the rat-faced cultivator's name, and Li Yunshang's eyes lit up.
When the group surrounded the rat-faced cultivator, his face showed a mournful smile.
The rat-faced cultivator suddenly woke up from his dream. Unable to break free, he shouted loudly at Jiang Wen: "Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist! What do you mean by this?! I have never offended you!"
As Jiang Wen expected, the rat-faced cultivator came to the door again after a few days. He knocked on the door of the other courtyard with a smile on his face and a radiant expression.
"Unforgettable." Jiang Wen's heart moved when he heard this. Thinking of the appearance of those cultivators addicted to Sanshen Water, he put on an infatuated and reminiscent expression. "Only now do I know that there is such a refreshing thing in the world."
"Joyful Workshop in the Immortal Sect Gathering."
"That's natural, but not everyone can enter. You need a guarantor to lead you to Joyful Workshop. If a stranger goes, they will be driven away."
"Then who is behind this Joyful Workshop?" Li Yunshang asked.
"This, could it be that your Daoist companion is..." The rat-faced cultivator hesitated slightly. He poked his head into the house, not daring to come in. After all, he still had some impression of that girl Li Yunshang.
She waved her pink fist and laughed: "That's right! And this guy! How could I not have thought of him! He's so bad, he actually made you addicted to this Sanshen Water, I have to interrogate him properly."
"So the recent disappearances in the gathering are also because of this matter?" Li Yunshang asked.
"Of course!" The rat-faced cultivator said triumphantly. "Compared to female cultivation, this Sanshen Water is a divine object. Just one sip is worth more than a god. It's truly like a dream, only then do you know the joy of the world."
"How does Fellow Daoist feel?" The rat-faced cultivator asked happily.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for bringing me to this place, which broadened my horizons." Jiang Wen smiled and made a gesture of invitation. "I have delicacies prepared in the house, why don't Fellow Daoist come in and sit down, so I can talk to Fellow Daoist about this matter."
Knowing that he had been tricked and schemed against, the rat-faced cultivator sobbed and begged: "Fellow Daoist, please let me go this time for the sake of our meeting. I promise I will never bother you again."
Jiang Wen pushed open the door and looked at him. The rat-faced cultivator respectfully bowed and said: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
"I only know that the current owner of Joyful Workshop is called Chi Yao, and it is said to be a snake demon. Joyful Workshop is a place for cultivators to enjoy themselves, and even cultivators from the Tai Shen Palace will come here to have fun. So the cultivators in the Immortal Sect Gathering actually know about this place, but everyone is just keeping it a secret." The rat-faced cultivator said.
Jiang Wen looked at the rat-faced cultivator who was hanging up and waved to Zi Yun in the distance. Then he looked at him and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, you treat me so well. Then let me treat you well too."
The rat-faced cultivator heard this sentence and immediately looked at him with a mournful face. Looking at the arm-thick vines on his body, their hardness was comparable to gold and stone. Even if the rat-faced cultivator used all his strength, it would be difficult to break free from them.
"This, this, I don't know either. I just heard people say that Joyful Workshop seems to have been built here by some big shot. Those demons were also brought in by the big shot, as for who it is, I can't say for sure. After all, the gathering's formation didn't react, so what else could I do?" The rat-faced cultivator said aggrievedly.
"Alright, I have no questions." Li Yunshang looked at Jiang Wen and spread out her hands. The group nodded to each other and decided to start the next step of the plan.
"Zi Yun, start."
"Mm."
