Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16387 Joining the Cult
The place where the Li family head lived was a large cave, with many smaller caves inside, like a very large courtyard. The large courtyard was divided into different smaller courtyards, all inhabited by members of the Li family. Previously, the rooms in the underground base were randomly assigned, but after all these families returned to the base, the rooms here were rearranged, and smaller families, such as the Li family and the Lu family, all lived together.

The head of the Li family had instructed his family members that someone would come to see him tonight, so the Li family members already knew about this. In front of the large cave of the Li family, there were two small caves on the left and right. Two people lived in these two small caves. Both of them were disciples of the Li family and were quite powerful. They acted as gatekeepers, guarding the large cave of the Li family.

Wan Feng is a disciple of the Wan family. He is over ninety years old this year. Of course, the age of a cultivator cannot be seen from his appearance. He looks only in his forties. He was originally just an ordinary disciple of the Wan family, doing ordinary work to support his family.

Don't assume that everyone from a large family lives a good life. In reality, only a small portion of people in large families truly thrive. Of course, geniuses receive special training from the family and live very well, as do the higher-ups. However, ordinary family disciples like Wan Feng, who lack talent, are provided with some cultivation resources by the family when they are young. Once it is discovered that they truly lack talent, the family will no longer support them. However, this does not mean that the family completely abandons them. The family will arrange for them to work in the family's businesses so that they can support their families.

In large families, there are many people like Wan Feng. This time, the Wan family selected Wan Feng. Wan Feng's strength has just reached the Throne level. Such strength may be considered good among ordinary rogue cultivators, but it is not enough in a large family like the Wan family. Therefore, he lives a very ordinary life with a tight budget.

Originally, Wan Feng was living a fairly comfortable life, but then he had a child with decent talent. Wan Feng's child was at least more talented than him, but not quite up to the standard for the family's focused training. Such a child usually has two paths to take. One is to give up cultivation and find a job in the family. Because their talent is decent, their cultivation level might be higher than Wan Feng's, and they can do more work in the family and earn more. However, in this way, they will forever lose the opportunity to advance further. The second path is for the family to contribute part of the money, and the family to subsidize the rest, so that they can continue cultivating. In this way, their strength might be even higher, but they must pay for a portion of it themselves, and this portion of the money is not small.

Don't think that the family is treating them badly. In fact, many people would love to have such an opportunity but can't get it. Even if they have money, they can't get cultivation techniques or cultivation materials, let alone receive subsidies from the family. Even small families like the Li family don't have such treatment because the investment is too great, and there's no guarantee that they'll be able to cultivate any talent.

Although the Wan family's treatment was very good, the cost of training a cultivator was simply too high. Wan Feng was just an ordinary member of the Wan family and didn't earn much money. However, he couldn't bear to see his child end up like him. He wanted his child to advance further, so he participated in the family's selection process. The family had said that anyone who participated in the operation would receive a sum of money regardless of when they died. If they died, they would receive an additional sum, enough for his child to cultivate for a long time. For his child's sake, Wan Feng participated in the operation. Many others selected by the Wan family had the same reason.

Because of his rigid and meticulous nature, Wan Feng was appointed as the squad leader of this hundred-man team, and he was the one who led the team to visit the Li family head this time.

Wan Feng arrived at the cave where the Li family lived. He did not rush into the cave, but stood at the entrance and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "May I ask if this is the Li family's cave?" He spoke very politely.

At this moment, a man emerged from the cave. He looked to be under thirty years old. He sized up Wan Feng, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Indeed, this is the Li family's cave. May I ask who you are, fellow Daoist?"

Wan Feng said in a deep voice, "I am Wan Feng, and I have already made an agreement with the Li family."

Upon hearing Wan Feng's words, the man immediately said, "Alright, everyone, please come in. The patriarch is already waiting for you." Wan Feng responded, and then led the Wan family members into the Li family's cave.

The Li family's cave dwelling was quite large. Upon entering, there was an open space, which was not very large, only about 100 square meters in area, but about 50 feet high. On the cave walls, there were openings, which were obviously individual rooms.

The moment Wan Feng and his group entered the cave, it immediately felt cramped. At that moment, the Li family head also came out. He glanced at Wan Feng and his group, then asked, "People from the Wan family?"

Wan Feng quickly bowed and said, "Indeed, are you Patriarch Li?"

The Li family head nodded, then returned the bow, saying, "I know why you've come. I've already explained everything, so you don't need to ask any more questions." He clapped his hands, and as he spoke, members of the Li family emerged from the cave entrance on the cave wall. After they appeared, the Li family head said to Wan Feng, "You can decide which cave you want to go to. There are twenty Li family disciples in total. Each of them can send five people, making a total of one hundred. Once inside, do as they instruct you." Wan Feng thanked him again, then let the Wan family members choose their own people. He also chose a Li family disciple and flew directly over.

The Li family disciple led Wan Feng and the others into the room. The room wasn't very big; upon entering, one could see a small living room. Six people standing in the living room would make it seem a bit cramped, but no one cared about that now. There weren't any tables or chairs in the living room, only a few futons, so it seemed rather empty. Against the wall at the far end of the living room, there was a long table, and on the long table was a statue that was only a little over a foot tall—the statue of the God of Creation.

The Li family disciple turned to Wan Feng and said, "Everyone, kneel down with me. Then I will recite the prayer. Say what I say, and do what I do."

Wan Feng and the others all responded. They were still a little nervous, but they still knelt down with the Li family disciples. After they knelt down, the Li family disciple took the lead and said, "O all-knowing and all-powerful God, please listen to the voice of your most faithful believer. Your most faithful believer will guide some new believers to God's kingdom to see you. Please meet your most faithful believer."

The others followed him and recited the words, even though their pronunciation was a bit off. After they finished, they suddenly found themselves in a white space, and then the God of Creation appeared before them.

The God of Creation glanced at Wan Feng and the others, then said, "Your motives are impure, but it doesn't matter. I will give you what you want."

The next moment, Wan Feng and the others suddenly found themselves back in the room of the Li family disciple. They were still kneeling in front of the statue, as if everything before them had been an illusion.

At this moment, the Li family disciple bowed three times to the statue of the god again, and Wan Feng and the others followed suit. Only then did the Li family disciple stand up. He turned to look at Wan Feng and the others, who also stood up. The Li family disciple looked at them and said, "The god said that your motives were impure, but he still agreed to accept you. That means that although you have other intentions, you have no ill will towards the god. That's good. You don't need to do anything next. After you go back, each of you should make a statue. The statue doesn't need to be too big. Then place the statue in your room and pray once a day. You can say whatever you want in your prayer, but you must add 'All-knowing and All-powerful God' at the beginning. That's all. Okay, you can leave now."

Wan Feng and the others really hadn't expected things to be so simple. But since the Li family disciples had made their decision, they accepted it. So they all bowed to the Li family disciples and left the room. When they left, they found that the other members of the Wan family had also left, and the Li family head was waiting for them.

Once they had all left the room, Patriarch Li said, "We've done everything we could to help you. From now on, it's up to you." Wan Feng and the others responded, and then Wan Feng bowed to Patriarch Li and said, "Thank you, Patriarch Li. We will always remember this. Thank you."

The Li family head waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You can go back now." Wan Feng and the others responded and then left the Li family's cave.

After they left the Li family's cave dwelling, they went directly back to the Wan family's residence. The Wan family had more people, so their residence was much larger than the Li family's cave dwelling. Their residence had several large cave dwellings, each larger than the Li family's, and the cave dwelling where Wan Ling lived was the largest of them.

Wan Feng, being the captain of all of them, went directly to Wan Ling's cave dwelling to request an audience. Upon hearing that Wan Feng had arrived, Wan Ling summoned him to his study.

As soon as Wan Feng entered Wan Ling's study, he immediately bowed to Wan Ling and said, "Greetings, Elder." Wan Ling's study was not large and was not furnished with many things, only a desk and a chair.
