Gold and silver are not as sturdy on this side of the Fumu Mountain Port as they are in the mortal realm. Although they can be used to purchase goods, they can only buy ordinary things, such as weapons made of mortal iron, rice without spiritual energy, and ordinary herbs without spiritual materials. These are mostly used by mortals.

However, the powers and cultivation systems mastered by these refugees from other realms, like Oulang Geliya, are different. They don't have a great demand for spiritual resources such as spirit stones, spirit food, and spirit medicine. Mortal resources are sufficient for them.

Therefore, in a situation where it is difficult to earn spirit stones but easy to obtain gold and silver, they are more inclined to earn more gold and silver.

In their former homeland, whether it was killing or capturing goblins, the rewards were calculated in low-level currencies such as copper coins. One or two silver coins were equivalent to several silver coins, which was already quite valuable.

This is not a deal where they are at a disadvantage.

Chu Shen didn't feel like he was at a disadvantage either and nodded, saying, "No problem."

Gold and silver? That's just small change. The spiritual stones and spiritual jade in his hands are the hard currency of the cultivation world!

Oulang Geliya saw that they had made quite a deal and was very happy, saying, "Let's go, let's have a few drinks to celebrate!"

Chu Shen asked in return, "Is it a shop run by your elves?"

Oulang Geliya gave him a thumbs up and said, "Our traditional wine, Moonlight Wine, is very delicious!"

Chu Shen was also interested in this exotic flavor and said, "Then let's go and experience it."

Li Jinrong and Lu Wuxia beside him immediately cheered. Curiosity is a natural instinct of life, and the sense of freshness constantly generates new curiosity, which can bring considerable pleasure in this process.

Furthermore, Fumu Mountain Port is an important port city in the Fumu Mountain area, with law enforcement disciples from various sects such as the Yuwang Sect. Even in unfamiliar areas where different races gather, there is no situation where the law enforcement disciples of the port city dare not intervene. There is no need to worry about encountering dangerous situations such as bandits.

Shangguan Shurong remained silent as usual, but surprisingly, she reached out her hand and held Chu Shen's hand.

This is a sign of emotional recovery, which made Chu Shen even happier.

The area where the refugees of elves and other races are settled is a bit far from the main city area. Under the guidance of Oulang Geliya, the group of people walked through the Fumu Mountain Port area, but with Oulang Geliya's introduction to her hometown and various races, it was not boring.

The beautiful forest scenery she described, the leisurely life of the elves, and the broader picture of the other world all felt very novel. They were amazed by the long war between the demons and the gods that she described, and felt sadness for the tragedies caused by the demonic monsters rising under the strengthening of the demons.

Chu Shen even suspected that she had another occupation as a "bard" in addition to being an "elf ranger" in this otherworldly profession.

"Speaking of which, Oulang Geliya, even though you know that there is a demon god on the enemy's side, do you still plan to counterattack and reclaim your homeland?"

As the conversation went on, Oulang Geliya also mentioned the future plans of the various races taking refuge in Fumu Mountain. Although there is still a war raging in their homeland, it is still their homeland, and they still want to reclaim it. They are preparing to establish an adventurer's association, not only to fight against monsters like goblins that still remain in Fumu Mountain, but also to prepare their strength and be ready to counterattack at any time.

"Yes, although Fumu Mountain is good, it is not our inherent homeland. The kindness and tolerance of the sect leaders and the ordinary residents make us feel happy, but we cannot forget that on the other side of Tianmen, countless of our compatriots are suffering and unfortunate.

Of course, we can stay here all the time, and then regretfully let our longing for our homeland and our own cowardice pass away.

But we can't help but think, what if our descendants stay in this world forever and forget their homeland? What kind of rootless wanderers would they become?

In her subtle words, there is actually a fear of "losing one's roots." As a foreigner, Chu Shen can understand Oulange Liya's sentiment.

Especially for the different races from other realms like elves and minotaurs, the differences with the native races of Dongxuan Tian are obvious. Perhaps as refugees, people may accept and sympathize with them temporarily. But over time, if they were to become a new race in Dongxuan Tian, who would be willing to give up land and resources for them?

The ultimate result would be assimilation or conflict. As an educated elf elite, Oulange Liya is able to anticipate this ahead of many others, but she does not want to accept either of these outcomes.

Though the journey is long, there is an end.

When Chu Shen arrives at the places where these different races from other realms gather, he feels a sudden change in style. Whether it's the architectural style or the pedestrians, they don't have the distinct flavor of Dongxuan Tian like other districts in Fumu Mountain Port.

"This place is not actually the main residence for us elves. We prefer to live in the forests outside the city. But as one of the first to come to Fumu Mountain and designated by the immortals as the coordinator for the various races from different worlds, we have many of our people active in the city."

............ Seeking applause........

The different races from other realms here are more diverse and peculiar than in other districts, but it is also more chaotic.

After walking just a few steps and while still talking, they hear someone shouting in unfamiliar Dongxuan Tian language.

"Hey, you dirty little thief, trying to steal a guest's wallet?"

This is also a concern for elite beings from different realms like Orlangelia. The proud Dongxuan Tian people disdain learning their language. In order to seek refuge in this world, they must actively learn the language of Dongxuan Tian.

Gradually, members of various races from Tianmen are proud to speak the Dongxuan Tian language. Even within their settlements, they are starting to use the Dongxuan Tian language more than their own original languages.

Because there is another benefit that motivates them to use the Dongxuan Tian language actively: a unified language greatly facilitates smooth communication.

This is something that the ruling classes of their world's various races have been unable to achieve for countless years, but it has been realized in the situation of seeking refuge in Dongxuan Tian.

Looking over, there is a strange shop door adorned with many ambiguous drawings. A dirty child is being held by a strong man, and behind him stands the owner, a Dongxuan Tian human. Judging from his attire, he seems to be a cultivator.

"Seventh level of Qi Refining, and his vitality is weak. It seems that his essence has been heavily depleted recently," Li Jinrong said elegantly, which actually means that this man has been indulging in wine and women recently.

Chu Shen also saw through the situation at a glance and looked at Orlangelia. "Is this shop a brothel?"

Orlangelia felt a bit embarrassed. "Not everyone can pick up a sword and become an adventurer, nor can all the people who escape find suitable jobs.

This is normal. A group of refugees from another world is lucky to have escaped with their lives. It is rare for them to have enough wealth or skills to survive in another world. As a last resort, selling themselves may be the most primitive and quickest means of making a living.

Even this is considered good. Those refugees who have no means of making a living can only resort to cheating, deceiving, and stealing, like the child who was caught as a thief.

Apart from some wealthy people in Fumu Mountain Port who may offer porridge or engage in charitable acts for various reasons, there are no dedicated welfare institutions to support these vulnerable groups.

This is the same in both the mortal realm and the cultivation world...
