My inner elixir can cure all poisons? You won't dig it out.

They come, the security.

Since they had already reached the lower realm and there was no formation to teleport back, Bai Yanlan stopped worrying about it and started looking around. Then, she discovered a very serious problem.

"This small world seems... to have no spiritual energy."

"The source power is also very thin."

Bai Yanlan closed her eyes and tried to distinguish for a long time before she could barely find a trace of familiar energy from the polluted air: "There is a lot of scattered power of faith."

Xu Jiayi thought for a while before saying uncertainly: "It seems that we have most likely been teleported to the mortal world."

The mundane world is originally a collection of small worlds that have not yet started cultivation, and humans in some of these small worlds have even just begun to develop civilization.

After the battlefield of all races was opened, in order to enable the small worlds where the battlefield was opened to develop as quickly as possible, some people used a large formation to transfer all the spiritual power from the mortal world over.

This method did allow the cultivation world that opened the battlefield to develop rapidly, and there were constant emergence of geniuses and prodigies. However, the path of cultivation in the mortal world was completely cut off, and the development of other aspects was also very slow.

Later, after Jin Qisheng rose to power, he tried to open the path of cultivation in the mortal world, and make all the people soldiers. But those small worlds that took away the opportunity aura were naturally unwilling to return it so easily, and they all protested.

In the end, the Temple could only take a step back and asked the cultivation world to send people to protect the mortal world. If the battlefield of all races was opened, troops had to be sent into the battlefield as soon as possible.

The people in the world of cultivation did comply with this requirement, but while protecting the secular world, they also began to collect some power of faith for their own cultivation.

"Since there is the power of faith, it means there should be someone in front. Let's go over and take a look." Xu Jiayi suggested.

There is no spiritual energy in this world, so Bai Yanlan and the other two can only walk in order to conserve their spiritual energy.

Fortunately, their physical strength was still there. After walking quickly for half an hour, the three of them finally saw a small town.

From a distance, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard.

Bai Yanlan and the other two walked along the main road and saw a high altar in the center of the town. On the altar, a masked wizard was dancing an exaggerated dance and chanting strange songs.

Under the altar, there was a circle of people kneeling, all of them kneeling on the ground devoutly and muttering something.

The wizard danced and sang for nearly an hour, and finally collapsed on the altar exhausted. The hideous, majestic, and mysterious mask on his face slipped to the side, revealing a sweaty, almost pale face.

Seeing that everyone on the altar raised their heads and looked at him expectantly, he could only shake his head helplessly and said dejectedly: "I failed to ask the goddess to lower her eyes."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people below the altar lowered their heads in dejection, and faint cries could be heard from the crowd.

The wizard rested for a moment, recovered a little, and stood up again: "Now, there is only one last way."

"Don't worry, everyone. When I meet the goddess in person, I will ask her to send down the rain."

"Now...light the fire."

The firewood had been prepared on the side, but no one stood up to get it. Instead, the sad crying sounds became louder.

Seeing that no one was taking action, the wizard had no choice but to turn to the other side and whispered, "Mayor!"

In the crowd, a gray-haired old man responded and slowly stood up. He looked deeply at the wizard, then took trembling steps and personally went to get a handful of firewood and put it under the altar.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and moved firewood, surrounding the altar.

……

Seeing that someone had already come out with a torch, Bai Yanlan and the other two looked at each other and said, "Wait, don't light the fire."

"Excuse me, what are you doing?" Bai Yanlan, who looked the most harmless among the three, stepped forward and asked, "Why are you burning this uncle? Did he do anything wrong?"

As soon as Bai Yanlan said this, the crying in the crowd became louder, and many young men began to wipe their tears.

Instead, the wizard on the altar spoke slowly: "It is because Yan is incompetent that he failed to invite the goddess to come. Now he can only sacrifice himself to seek a chance to meet the goddess and plead his case in person."

"Do you really want to burn yourself?" Bai Yanlan was very shocked.

In the stories she had heard before, there were people who sacrificed boys and girls, as well as unmarried girls. This was the first time she saw a wizard who wanted to sacrifice himself. For this reason, Bai Yanlan had a better impression of these people.

"Well, what do you want?"

Following Bai Yanlan's questioning, the villagers finally noticed the three people. Although they looked young and one of them was even a little kid of three or four years old, they were dressed exquisitely and had extraordinary temperaments. It was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary people.

"Are you three the fairy children sent by the goddess?" The mayor walked forward quickly with hope.

"No!" Bai Yanlan shook her head decisively. She had no good feelings towards this goddess who absorbed the power of faith but did not do any work.

Before the mayor could show his disappointment, Bai Yanlan added: "There are more than one goddess in this world who can solve disasters. Why waste your energy on her?"

"You've been praying for a long time, but the goddess didn't come to help you. Why not pray to another goddess? Why do you have to burn yourself?"

Gods don't do anything? Then change gods!

Bai Yanlan was taught from a young age to only believe in useful gods, so before going to a temple to worship, she would always ask, "Is this temple effective?"

After meeting so many saints and quasi-saints in Wanli Mizong, I have even less awe for the so-called gods. They are all workers who get paid (the power of faith). How noble are they?

However, Bai Yanlan's words shocked the people of this place. In their place, from ancient times to the present, the only one they believed in was the goddess, and no one had ever said that they could believe in other gods.

That would be a great disrespect to the goddess. What if I angered her and punished her for it?

The mayor thought Bai Yanlan was just talking nonsense and was about to persuade her not to talk nonsense.

Then Bai Yanlan said, "You prayed to the goddess for rain, right?"

This is not difficult to see. The land along the way is dry and there is no grass growing. Even some big trees are almost dead.

The people here all looked pale and thin, with cracked lips, and it was obvious that they had been thirsty for a long time.

"That's right." The wizard also got off the altar and walked up to Bai Yanlan and the other two. "The fairy just said that we can ask other gods for help. Can you help introduce them?"

Wizard Yan was the one who believed in the goddess the most. But there had been a drought for three years, and he had prayed for three years, but never got a response. With the accumulation of disappointments, no matter how much faith he had, it could not withstand the consumption.

So, when Bai Yanlan said that this one didn’t work and she should try another one, he was really tempted.

Even if the goddess punishes us in the future, it is better than watching everyone die of thirst and starvation now.
