“Shen... Great Shen... Great, Great...”

“Don’t be nervous, I just need to discuss something with you,” said Shen Ying, stroking its ear assuringly. True to its species, the rabbit was a timid animal. She quickly pointed to the chair behind it. “Come, take a seat.”

The Rabbit Monarch shook even more and its ear which had been stroked by Shen Ying suddenly felt numb. It tried several times to sit back down on its throne but kept sliding down, let down by its wobbly legs. “Great... Immortal, please... please give me your orders.”

Noticing the rabbit’s predicament, Shen Ying directly squatted down beside it. Chuckling, she said, “It’s like this.The three of us have just been to the Upper Azure World but couldn’t find a place to live. I heard that, unlike the Three Azure Realms, your Demon Realm is not partitioned into upper, middle and lower worlds, and it is also nearest to the Upper Azure Word. I’d like to ask if you have a suitable place for us?”

“Great... Great Immortal is thinking of looking for a place to live?” The Rabbit Monarch heaved a sigh of relief. So she was not here to massacre its clan. All’s well, all’s well.

The Rabbit Monarch looked behind Shen Ying and, as expected, saw two other cultivators. One was Benefactor Yi Qing whom it was acquainted with, though it had not expected Yi Qing to already have become a Soul Formation cultivator in such a short period of time. Incredibly enough, the other one was a Soul Formation cultivator as well. The Rabbit Monarch felt more respect than ever for Shen Ying.

No wonder she was a Great Immortal—even her followers were the strongest of the strong. Even when conditions were not favorable, one had to create the conditions and emerge as the strongest.

“Yes, that’s about the gist of it!” Recalling what Father Niu had said, Shen Ying asked, “I want the kind of place suitable for growing radishes. Didn’t you often use to send me radishes? I imagine you should have such a place?”

“I think... so?” What radish? Can you make it clearer?

“Shen Ying,” said Lonemoon, his mouth twitching a little as he pulled her aside. “The place you mentioned earlier that was very suitable—is it in the Demon Realm?” Was her brain out of whack? Yes, the Demon Realm was vast and sparsely populated, not belonging to any aristocratic family, and was also close to the Upper Azure World. But they were cultivators after all.

“Don’t worry. I know Rabbit very well.” She patted his shoulder with a confident look on her face.

“This isn’t a matter of knowing it well or not.” The frown on Lonemoon’s face deepened even more. “You should know that the Demon Realm is full of demonic aura. Cultivators can’t practice in a place with demonic aura.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying pondered for a while, then turned her head and looked at the rabbit, adding, “Then in that case, Rabbit, I want a place with no demonic aura.”

“How can any place in the Demon Realm have no...”

“Alright, Great Immortal!” The Rabbit Monarch nodded its head vigorously.

“...” Do you have to agree so quickly? Is there really such a place? “Even if there is such a place in the Demon Realm, surely it can’t produce a spirit vein?”

“Rabbit, this place needs to have a spirit vein!” Shen Ying continued to add to her list of conditions.

“You...”

“No problem, Great Immortal!” The Rabbit Monarch nodded its head vigorously.

“...” Holy shit! Why are you agreeing to everything? “It’s hard to find such a place even in the Upper Azure World. The Demon Realm is so big. Even if there were such a place, it would be very difficult to find...”

“Can you find it, Rabbit?”

“Yes, I can, Great Immortal. I’ll get it done immediately, Great Immortal!” The Rabbit Monarch nodded its head vigorously.

“...” Holy shit! What exactly did you do to this rabbit? “Forget it, I give up. You can all do what you like.”

Lonemoon stood aside. Shen Ying and the Rabbit Monarch were already making preparations to examine the site. He had no choice but to follow them as he didn’t believe that they would succeed in their quest. How could there possibly be a place within the Demon Realm which had no demonic aura yet had plenty of Spirit Qi, a spirit vein and spirit herbs...

“Here it is, Great Immortal!”

Holy shit!

There really is such a place! Do you have to be so efficient?!

Lonemoon was lost in awe as he looked up to see a towering, floating mountain, so high that it reached all the way to the clouds, appear before him. The mountain was bathed in a beautiful afterglow and was encircled by swirls of mist like a scene from an immortal fairyland. Spirit Qi gushed out from the peak of the mountain and one could faintly feel the aura of several spirit veins throbbing within it. These vibrant spirit veins were several times stronger than those at the Blackheaven Sect.

The strange thing was that the surrounding demonic aura seemed to be deliberately avoiding this spiritual peak, only lingering at its peripheral boundaries a few kilometers away—the demon aura showed no signs of wanting to invade. It was as if a completely different territory had been carved out of the Demon Realm.

“This place is close to the Upper Azure World and it is the mountain that is most abundant in Spirit Qi.” Pointing at the floating mountain, the Rabbit Monarch explained, “It is located exactly at the point on the boundary between the Human and Demon Realm, where Yang Qi is at its highest, so demonic aura cannot get through.”

So that explained why the demonic aura could only linger a few kilometers away from the mountain.

“There is ample Spirit Qi here which is absolutely ideal for Great Immortal’s cultivation practice. It is also the place in the Demon Realm where spirit herbs are most abundant. The spirit herbs that I used to deliver to Great Immortal’s residence were gathered from here.”

The Rabbit Monarch pointed ahead. Shen Ying turned her head and saw that the whole mountain and the surrounding land were covered with radishes—it was really a radish land.

What can I say, house rabbit!

“Little Missy, I like this place!” The radish pendant hopped down from Lonemoon’s leg, rolling around happily in the radish land. Being a Vegetation Spirit, it naturally liked places where Wood Spirit Qi was dense.

Shen Ying ignored it and patted the Rabbit Monarch, saying, “Rabbit, this is it. Thanks.”

“No need to thank me, Great Immortal. It’s my duty.”

“I’ll be staying here from now on.”

“Does Great Immortal require anything else?”

“Anything else...” Shen Ying thought over it seriously. “I still have a small request... Can you get ahold of a few household items like furniture, kitchen utensils and other such living essentials?”

“I’ll go and prepare them right now.”

“Oh and remember to get a table.”

“OK, Great Immortal.”

“Why not... build a house while you’re at it? You have experience in any case.”

“No problem, Great Immortal. Does Great Immortal have any specific requirements for this house?”

“Doesn’t need to be too big. It just needs to have a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Er... or you could build it like how you did for your demon palace, it looks great.”

Yi Qing: “...”

Lonemoon: “...”

This is called a little request? You might as well get him to build you an emperor’s palace. I’ve never met such a brazen person like you!

“OK, Great Immortal! No problem, Great Immortal!”

“...”

Why must you agree so readily? Can’t you show a little backbone?

Perplexed, Lonemoon could not help but nudge Yi Qing who was standing next to him. “Hey, how did you come to know this rabbit demon? Why is it so good to Shen Ying?” Why, it was taking orders from Shen Ying like an obedient child.

Yi Qing thought about this for a while and then replied earnestly, “Probably because... Master has not destroyed its whole clan yet?”

“...”

Destroy its clan... What the hell?! This isn’t a friendly relationship... this is a bloody feud!

Three months later.

“OK, stop eating and get ready. We have to go to Upper Azure Town,” instructed Lonemoon, pulling a certain foodie away from the table.

“Go to Upper Azure Town?” Looking blank, Shen Ying stuffed the last piece of cake in her hand into her mouth. “What for?”

“What for? Why, to recruit disciples of course!” Rolling his eyes at her, Lonemoon explained, “I’ve already inquired about it. Tomorrow is the day when the Upper Azure World’s aristocratic families and major sects conduct their annual recruitment of disciples. Those who wish to practice cultivation will all head to the various towns to register and the closest town to us is Upper Azure Town.”

“Why do we need to recruit disciples?” asked Shen Ying, baffled. Can’t we just stick to practicing our own cultivation?
