Shen Hao actually invited Chen Tianwen over for drinks because he had something to ask, but he wasn't in a rush for it. Hearing the other mention Gui Mountain Cultivation Institute, he got interested instead.
"Mid-next month? That's not far off. Tell me about it. Five years ago I was still running around outside, didn't pay attention to this stuff at all—what's the deal?"
Gui Mountain Cultivation Institute is located north of Li City, next to Pingjiang City. It's a first-class sect within the Jingjiu Dynasty's borders. It's not small—there are thousands of disciples in the sect. Usually, they stay inside cultivating in seclusion, rarely coming out, and they meddle in worldly affairs even less. Shen Hao has been working in Li City for eight years and has never met any inner sect members from Gui Mountain Cultivation Institute, nor gotten involved in any cases related to them.
Perhaps "great reclusion within the city" refers precisely to places like this.
