Sole Cloud Flying Cave

Cui Heng was transmigrated to another world and the system told him that the new world he was in was a high-grade Xianxia world.
It was a world where Celestial Kings soared the sky and terrifying monsters ruled the lands. The strong would destroy a planet if their mood was bad and Cui Heng trembled in fear when he learned of how scary the new world was.
Thankfully, the system had granted him the protection that last for 300 years. As long as he remained in the safety zone, he would not receive any damage.
With his safety secured, he began his cultivation training for the next 300 years.
Throughout the years as he trained, some people entered his safety zone by mistake.
There was a peasant who was once a monk and a beggar. Despite that, he still had the dream of bringing peace to the land and saving the lives of millions.
There was a noble who was once called the once-in-a-million-year genius. Yet, luck wasn't at his side and his talent fell and was laughed at by others for years.
There was a princess whose only wish was to find her older brother. She could've become a celestial but decided to remain in the human realm to wait for her brother's return.
There was a weak lady who was plagued with illness from birth but had the goal of adventuring and helping the poor and weak.
...
Cui Heng befriended these people and even gave them a few pointers before they left.
300 years later, when the protection period had ended, he had finally mastered the Golden Core. Even then, he was still reluctant to go to the outside world.
But when he did, he realized that the world was merely a world of Wuxia.

Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

As the previous county magistrates of Juhe County were either here to earn money or to "prepare the land for the new lord" like Yan Sheng, the reserves of the official grainary had barely increased over the years.

There were not even a thousand catties of food combined in the ten warehouses.

Every cellar only had a thin layer of rice. Even rats could not be bothered to visit such places.

Lu Zhengming stood beside Cui Heng with a helpless expression and sighed. "County Lord, this is all the food we have. We really don't have any more supplies to help the refugees."

Actually, there was something else he did not dare to say.

Originally, after raiding the Huang family, they should have included the taxes and food that the Huang family had not paid and stored them into the county's coffers.

This way, the official grain warehouses would be much fuller and would not be as embarrassing as now.
