The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Because the one in front was Yun Yici, the Xie Shi still maintained the romantic radiance of white and gold intertwined.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Shen Huaichuan pressed his hand on it, the white and gold light in the evil stone gradually went out.

Not only that, but the evil stone also completely dimmed, becoming no different from ordinary stones.

The official from Juexian City, who had just been all smiles at Yun Yici, coldly said, "Take him away."

In an instant, two guards stepped forward, trying to hold Shen Huaichuan back and take him away.

Yun Yici looked surprised and immediately drew the Huaichuan Sword from behind her to block the blind youth: "He came with me. Where are you taking him?"

The official of Juexian City instructed his men, "Continue the inspection."

After he finished speaking, he walked up to Yun Yici, who was full of vigilance, and spread his hands to indicate that he had no intention of harming anyone.

“Young friends, it’s not that I’m making things difficult for you, it’s just the rule of Juexian City.”

"Besides our native inhabitants, Juexian City does not allow any mortals to stay. If he wants to find a place to make a living, he can try his luck in other cities."

"A frail mortal like him, with such handsome features, is incapable of making any contribution to the city."

“All mortals who have wandered into my city will be sent back to other cities.”

He only agreed to explain so much to them because he thought highly of Yun Yici; otherwise, he would have had the male cultivator dragged away long ago.

Yun Yici's mind raced. She said, "What if we're just passing through Juexian City?"

Shen Huaichuan said their destination was the border between humans and demons, and that Juexian City was not their final stop.

Upon hearing Yun Yici's words, the official of Juexian City twitched his eye and kindly advised, "Borrowing a passage? Where do you intend to go? Could it be the Demon Realm?"

"You should know that Juexian City is already the largest human cultivation settlement near the Demon Realm. Further ahead, it is unknown whether the living beings are human."

"Both of you are exceptionally good-looking, but you seem to be new to the world and unaware of its dangers."

"Once you are captured by a demonic cultivator, you will be so miserable that you wish you were alive but could not die, and you will only regret that you were born."

The officer's words were harsh, but he genuinely advised Yun Yici and the other girl not to be foolish and continue to move forward, leaving the protection of the crowd.

Seeing that the other person was not bad, Yun Yici pleaded, "Senior said before that as long as one makes a contribution, one can stay? I wonder what kind of contribution is required?"

If it costs spirit stones, she's rolling in money now, so she might as well spend them.

The officer said, "Open the recruitment order I just gave you."

Yun Yici opened the recruitment notice and saw that the demonic cultivators' levels were listed in descending order, followed by the contribution points of teammates after a kill.

And these contribution points can be exchanged for anything in the Immortal City.

Whether it's identity or status, not to mention power and wealth.

"He can stay if he can kill a demon."

Yun Yici fell silent.

At the very top are the Demon Lord, Demon Venerable, Demon King, Demon General...

The demons are at the very bottom, the lowest level of the demon realm, roughly equivalent to the cultivation level of a Qi Refining cultivator.

It is indeed an impossible task for mortals.

But the other party is... Shen Huaichuan! Ah!!!

It's just that he doesn't have any spiritual power right now, otherwise Yun Yici believes that Shen Huaichuan could easily crush ten demon lords.

Shen Huaichuan, the person involved, listened quietly and obediently from the side, as if Yun Yici and the other person were not discussing his future.

Yun Yici's silence was interpreted by the officials of Juexian City as a sign of difficulty.

He thought about the golden core that Yun Yici had revealed through the Evil Stone, and said, "If you want to use your contribution points to keep him here, that's fine too."

"However, he will stay in Juexian City for a month, during which time you will have to kill ten demons."

"Two months is twenty demons."

Yun Yici thought to herself that she was to kill ten Qi Refining stage demonic cultivators.

She came here to gain experience, and she only regretted not having enough fights to fight, so there was no reason for her to refuse.

Yun Yici printed it out, and the officer clicked on her recruitment notice. The number after "demon" changed to -10.

"You can take him into the city first. He can leave Juexian City only when you have fulfilled your promise."

Yun Yici muttered to herself, feeling somewhat trapped.

This means she has to kill ten demons within this month, otherwise, by next month, the number will have increased to twenty.

As long as she insists on taking Shen Huaichuan with her, her debts will snowball until she can't leave even if she wants to.

Yun Yici thought for a moment and said to his superior, "I wonder if the city will organize a hunt for demonic cultivators?"

The officer said, "At fixed times, the city will recruit cultivators to go to the border between humans and demons."

Yun Yici nodded, thanked him, and then took the recruitment order and passed through the checkpoint with Shen Huaichuan.

After passing the identity verification check, guards guided the group into the city.

Yun Yici stepped out of the landing point of the spirit boat and was stunned when she saw the ancient and eerie city gate of Juexian City.

Hanging on the city wall is a set of black, withered bones, painted with golden patterns, fluttering in the wind.

The skeleton was very strange; it did not fall apart, and judging from the outline of the skeleton, it had four hands.

The sword spirit of Huaichuan explained to her, "This is a demonic bone."

"Judging from the color, the owner of this skeleton must have been a figure like a demon lord in his lifetime."

"It must have been Juexian City that hung it on the city wall as a warning."

Yun Yici's doubts were resolved, and she stopped worrying about it.

There was also a body checkpoint outside the city gate of Juexian City, but they had already been checked at the spirit boat's docking point, so they skipped that step.

However, as they entered the city, a commotion suddenly broke out at the other side of the city gate, where checkpoints had been set up.

Yun Yici, with her sharp eyes, clearly saw a wisp of black energy in the center of the evil stone.

The cultivators who had just touched the evil stone and were queuing up were immediately dragged away by the high-level cultivators guarding the area.

She said to Shen Huaichuan, "So touching black energy means you're associated with demons?"

As they walked, Shen Huaichuan said, "There is a kind of demon called the inner demon. I often think that no one is without a demon in their heart."

"However, compared to the demons, we cultivate our minds and restrain our desires, rather than letting our inner demons devour our clear minds."

Yun Yici felt that Shen Huaichuan's words made a lot of sense, but now was not a good time to discuss the Dao.

The two paid the spirit stones and entered the city smoothly.

Upon entering the city, one could not see any relaxed or happy expressions on the faces of the monks or residents passing by on the street.

Fortunately, in addition to contribution points, spirit stones are also useful in the Immortal City.

Yun Yici found an inn and settled down with Shen Huaichuan. Then, she planned to go into the city to try her luck and see when the next recruitment was.

The good news is that the next recruitment drive will take place in three days.

The bad news is that the recruitment is for groups of five, and she needs four teammates.

If she insists on signing up alone, she will be randomly matched with four other lone wolf teammates like herself.

Yun Yici felt a little uneasy. In this strange and unfamiliar place, she had no one she could trust except Shen Huaichuan.

She didn't want to fight against demonic cultivators while also having to be wary of teammates whose true nature she didn't know.

Yun Yici was pondering when she suddenly heard someone next to her say, "Holy crap, this is too much! There are only two of us, and we're still short three people!"
