After roughly understanding their thoughts, Wang Zijia pondered for a moment and didn’t raise any objections nor demanded to go to the Central District immediately.

As the three of them journeyed together, Wang Zijia noticed that the corner of Number Thirteen and Number Two’s eyes were always subtly observing him, as if searching for his defensive measures.

In an unruffled manner, Wang Zijia had no intention of explaining.

Both parties did not trust each other and were very restrained, avoiding potential conflicts.

After a while, the group passed through half of the city district and arrived at the East District, where a not-so-large mountain range lay.

Describing it as the East District was not quite right, as Nanfei Market was built upon this mountain range. The mountain range was not high, but the environment was quite pleasant. The trees were lush and green and the spiritual energy rose amidst the misty mountains.

There were not many buildings at the foot of the mountain, only a grand Reception Courtyard.

When Wang Zijia and his group arrived, two manservants immediately greeted them, respectfully saluting the three of them and asking, "Welcome, esteemed Immortal Elders, are you here to rent a Cave Mansion?"

Wang Zijia glanced at one of the manservants and his expression flickered for a moment; he had seen this man before at the entrance to the Ginseng Garden.

Now, however, there was no magical power fluctuation from him, and he was dressed ordinarily with a clueless look in his eyes, as if he were truly a market square errand boy.

Wang Zijia and the other two exchanged glances and finally, Number Two spoke, "We just arrived at your market and plan to stay for a while, so we really need to rent a Cave Mansion for a few days for cultivation."

"Right this way, please!" With a smile, the manservant was about to lead Wang Zijia and his companions to the hall, explaining, "The hall contains an Array Map of the entire Cave Mansion territory for convenient selection."

"There’s no need, let’s take a look at the actual place. We prefer to see it in person," Number Two promptly stopped the other party’s action and replied.

The two manservants, upon hearing this, had no objection, and with a smile, said, "Then, please follow us, honorable sirs."

After speaking, they led the three people through the front hall and headed towards the mountains at the back.

As it was a city mountain, the entire mountain range was well maintained. Along the way, there were cobblestone paths, and trees everywhere were meticulously pruned. Occasionally, one could see clear spring water trickling past.

The two manservants took the three of them to tour several Cave Mansions. They almost scoured half of the mountain without finding any anomalies. It seemed like a real Spiritual Vein Cave Mansion, and there was no sign of a Class A meat field.

"These are all our First Grade Cave Mansions. Each Mansion is rich in spiritual energy, and can meet any cultivation needs of the Immortal Elders in the Child Stage." After a while, and almost having traversed half of the mountain range, the slightly weary manservant said, "I wonder which Cave Mansion the honorable sirs wish to rent?"

"What about second-grade or third-grade Cave Mansions?" Number Thirteen asked.

"A Second-grade Cave Mansion requires one to have the strength of the Sacrificial Wine realm and needs the shopkeeper’s personal approval before it can be rented. The minimum Cultivation should also be at the Sacrificial Wine realm. As for third-grade Cave Mansions... our Nanfei Spiritual Vein does not rent third-grade Cave Mansions to the public," the manservant answered.

The three of them frowned slightly but didn’t demand anything further. Judging by the situation, even if they had gone to those spiritual veins, they probably wouldn’t have discovered anything. The breakthrough point of this Mysterious Domain was clearly not here.

"Alright then, let’s go and have a look around..."

Before Number Two finished speaking, Wang Zijia suddenly pointed at a Cave Mansion and said, "Give me that one."

Number Two and Number Thirteen were both stunned and looked at Wang Zijia in confusion.

"Alright, as you wish, Exalted Immortal," the manservant immediately replied enthusiastically.

Wang Zijia ignored the two puzzled ones and asked, "By the way, I see that the management of Nanfei Market is quite strict. Do I need any proof to stay overnight?"

The manservant immediately replied, "Of course, you do need that. After the curfew at night, there’s no loitering in the market square at all. There’s a patrol team patrolling. Of course, our Spiritual Vein Garden’s doorplate itself serves as a residence permit."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of Number Two and Number Thirteen flickered simultaneously and said, "Give us a Cave Mansion too."

"The honorable Immortal Elders want to live separately?" the manservant asked.

Wang Zijia casually nodded his head and said, "I prefer to stay by myself. I’m used to living alone."

"Um, we’ll share one place," Number Two took over the conversation and confirmed, "How much magical money is needed for each Cave Mansion?"

"One hundred magical coins per night," the manservant replied with a dazzling smile.

The faces of Wang Zijia and the others stiffened. One hundred magical coins were almost enough to buy an Advanced Magic Weapon. This Cave Mansion couldn’t just be described as astronomically priced. In a normal market square, let alone a first-grade Cave Mansion, even a second-grade one couldn’t possibly cost this much.

"Alright, let’s book it for one night to start with then," the three of them didn’t say much about the prices, and chose to rent it.

"Please come this way."

With a smile, the manservant led Wang Zijia and the others to complete the procedure, then took them to open the Cave Mansion, gave them a tour, and explained for a short while before leaving.

...

"What should we do now?" After a while, in the small courtyard of the Cave Mansion rented by Wang Zijia, the three of them had a meeting, and Number Thirteen asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Number Two subconsciously looked towards Wang Zijia. Evidently, the two of them didn’t know much about the Mysterious Domain either. After finding no anomalies in the three Class A meat fields, they were already out of clues.

"I plan to go to the city center for a walk," Wang Zijia pondered for a moment and said.

"Did Ninth Senior Brother find something?" Thirteenth Elder’s eyes lit up.

Subconsciously looking up, Number Two was also immediately energized. Throughout the half-day journey, he always liked to look up at the ceiling crystal, fearing that the red light inside it would go out at any time.

"Let’s talk about it when the time comes, it’s too early to say anything now," Wang Zijia said as he got up and looked at the gloomy sky. In this Mysterious Domain, it was impossible to tell what time it was.

After pausing for a moment, he started heading outside.

Upon seeing this, Number Two and Number Thirteen immediately followed.

The three of them descended the mountain once again and entered the city district of the market square.

Wang Zijia, guided by the magical energy within him, passed through several streets, arrived at the city center, and finally stopped in front of a huge mansion.

"A Fake Garden? What is this place? Is this the personal residence of the ’fake’ Perfected Man?"

Seeing Wang Zijia stop in front of the mansion, Number Thirteen asked in confusion.

While frowning, Number Two shook his head. Even though their Blood Hidden Group knew quite a bit about the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain, their knowledge was limited to the various meat fields.

Before the occurrence of the Mysterious Domain, a barely third-rate power like this wouldn’t have attracted the attention of the Wanyu Sect, let alone some garbage power from a thousand years ago, hence they knew even less about the market square’s specific information.

Wang Zijia didn’t say anything, feeling the magical energy inside him. The place it was guiding him to was supposed to be here, he fell silent and did not answer.

"Why don’t we wait till nighttime and climb over to check?" Thirteenth Elder suggested.

Wang Zijia didn’t speak, thinking about the arrest situation in the market today, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, first we should understand the situation, and see if we can blend in before talking about it."

"So, what should we do now?" Number Two asked.
