Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Names of These People Are Unusual

"Excuse me, brother, is the dungeon at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion open today?" asked the young man who introduced himself as Li Feiyu politely.

"Not yet, I heard it needs a temporary upgrade, we’ll have to wait a few more days."

"By the way, brother."

"Would you like a pancake? I’ll add two eggs for you," Yin Sanlang deftly tidied up his stall.

"I’ll have one," Li Feiyu was also hungry, "How much is it?"

"It’s not about money, we just want to have fun for the day."

"Brother, I find you pleasant, it’s on me."

"Remember to come back next time."

Handing the wrapped pancake to Li Feiyu, Yin Sanlang reached under the table and pulled out a small bottle of wine once the customer left, taking a gleeful sip.

"Still, this Winter Wine from Cold City is the best, it doesn’t get you drunk."

...

Recently, many young cultivators like Li Feiyu have been coming to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

They are all waiting for that mysterious dungeon to open.

The reason? It’s because the new advertisement from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion is really enticing.

Compared to before, the price to experience it has dropped significantly, making it affordable for ordinary cultivators.

However, you now need to make reservations and queue in advance.

Although it’s troublesome, reservations come with raffle tickets.

Every day for the past few days, there have been cultivators winning free experience slots during reservations.

Of course, this small perk only attracts a small portion of people.

What truly attracts them is the new special advertising slogan for the dungeon.

[Sword Sect Elders personally selected, guiding transformation upgrades]

[Reasonable difficulty levels graded from low to high]

[100% authentic reproduction of the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm]

[Providing you with an unparalleled authentic exploration experience]

[Every dungeon trial offers you significant benefits]

[Random fortunate encounters, outstanding refreshment, clearing the dungeon grants mysterious rewards]

[Daily lucky cultivators can receive a ten-day Sword Sect experience card]

[Registration address: Thousand Mechanism Pavilion entrance, walk 500 meters east, under the large poplar tree]

Li Feiyu read the flyer again, then carefully folded it and placed it next to his small purple bottle.

As someone who just embarked on the immortal path, Li Feiyu lacks resources.

So, winning a free experience slot, he cherishes this opportunity very much.

Li Feiyu doesn’t covet those mysterious rewards, he cares about the authentic experience mentioned in the advertisement.

Exploring undiscovered grotto heavens in the wild is very dangerous, with all risks and rewards unknown.

Others value the rewards, but Li Feiyu values those precious experiences.

The first batch of dungeons opened by the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion includes one named Diannan Gourd Cave.

The secret realm Li Feiyu is about to explore for treasures is also within Diannan in the East Continent.

He trusts the Sword Sect’s reputation, since it’s written that the elders personally selected it, then there must be no issues.

Taking a bite of the pancake, feeling the medicinal power within the pancake dissolve in his body, Li Feiyu’s eyes lit up, and he began to eat in large mouthfuls.

"Indeed, the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion has a deep foundation backed by the Sword Sect, even the pancakes sold by street vendors are exceptional."

...

In an inn at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion’s market, Lin Feng sat by the window, watching the young man eating pancakes for a while.

"What’s up Brother Lin?"

Wang Ma, sitting across the table, asked.

"Who knows, maybe he’s found someone who has a path to death," Li Jue joked from the side.

"No, it’s just that I find that person a bit special," Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

The relationship among these three was now somewhat awkward.

Li Jue’s acting was too good, Lin Feng and Wang Ma’s Taoist techniques naturally made them not seem like good people.

So they all believed the other two were true demon path followers, only they themselves were undercover.

They all guarded against each other, yet regretted in their hearts for each other.

How did such excellent people fall into the demon path?

Lin Feng glanced at his two companions, raised his cup in a toast to them.

"Cheers."

Lin Feng had been in a good mood lately.

He had been mixing things up outside, with his cultivation continuously improving due to fortunate encounters, now already at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.

At this point, Lin Feng was confident that even if he faced a half-step Golden Core enemy, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to unleash all his potential and defeat them.

A few days before, Zhang Ze contacted him to come and show some support.

Lin Feng agreed without asking too much.

"I wonder how they want me to show support?"

While pondering about Zhang Ze, Lin Feng suddenly sensed someone looking at him.

He turned his head and looked out the window again, seeing two people gazing in this direction.

One of them, upon noticing they were discovered, didn’t avoid but nodded to Lin Feng with a smile, as if greeting him.

"Those two seem a bit off."

Though sensing something amiss, Lin Feng maintained a normal expression, nodding back to them in response.

...

Across the street, in front of a thousand mechanism tool shop.

Bai Xiaochun put away the newly bought Heavenly Illusion Pendant, nudged the person beside him with his shoulder, "Brother Wang, what do you think of that person?"

The youth named Wang Lin was somewhat wooden, thought for a moment, then spoke, "Very strong."

Bai Xiaochun nodded after hearing this, feeling that the friend he met yesterday indeed had a keen eye.

"Seems like the Cyan Thorn place is quite interesting."

"Really looking forward to seeing what it’s like inside the dungeon."

"Come Brother Wang, I discovered a stall selling raw fish slices yesterday, quite delicious."

"Today’s my treat."

With that said, without waiting for Wang Lin to refuse, Bai Xiaochun dragged Wang Lin towards the direction of the mountain gate.

...

Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

Lily pushed the door open and entered.

Upon hearing about Zhang Ze’s promotional activities after returning from Cold City, she was quite dissatisfied.

She even forgot about having just scammed Zhang Ze, and straightforwardly came over to protest.

"Why lower the price, boss!"

"We’re going to lose money!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Zhang Ze opened his eyes while sitting behind the table.

After exiting the trial space, he ignored Lily and first filled out a new entry in the notebook in front of him.

[Two hundred and tenth time]

[Death method, severed heart vein, but intact corpse]

[Heart method operation time fifteen seconds]

[Problem Reason: Unknown]

After stowing the notebook, Zhang Ze looked up at Lily.

"What money?"

He didn’t catch what Lily had just said.

Then Lily chattered on and repeated what she said earlier.

And she began buzzing around Zhang Ze, persuading him to raise the prices back.

Feeling dizzy from listening, Zhang Ze pulled out a talisman from the desk drawer and slapped it onto Lily’s mouth.

"Mmm mmm, phew phew..."

"What’s with this broken Silence Talisman?"

"Why does it feel expired, all sticky?"

Lily tore off the talisman, wiping her mouth, but still felt it was sticky.

"That’s not a talisman, just a piece of ordinary yellow paper, I smeared glue on the back," Zhang Ze handed Lily a cup of water.

Seeing Lily about to flare up again, Zhang Ze tapped the table quickly.

"This is the real way to make big money."

"Your ticket sales are peanuts."

Upon hearing about making big money, Lily immediately calmed down, pulled up a chair and sat beside Zhang Ze.

"Tell me, boss, how big is the money?"

"As big as the sky," Zhang Ze spoke mysteriously.

"How do we earn it?" Lily pulled out her small notebook.

"We earn it lying down," Zhang Ze spread open a map on the table, drew a circle on it.

The circle covered a large area of valley and forest around the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

The area was several times larger than Cold City.
