early morning.

Qin Luo stood outside the Taoist temple.

He looked at the market at the foot of the mountain, where people were already arriving in the dark before dawn to set up their stalls.

"Old Wu, I need to leave for a while. I hope you can take care of Ziyue and Jinyan for me."

"no problem."

"And the people at the foot of the mountain."

"Don't worry, Master Qin."

Wu Xuantian's tall figure resembled that of a war god.

Qin Luo returned to the backyard.

Ziyue and Jinyan sat in the courtyard drinking porridge. Ziyue was talking about what happened last night. She told her junior brother what she had seen and heard last night, and the latter listened with great interest.

The peach tree was covered with crystal-clear dewdrops. Qin Luo took out a golden gourd and collected all the dewdrops into it. Then he bowed to the peach tree.

These years.

He kept drinking the dew from the peach tree.

This peach tree was very helpful to his cultivation.

"Junior Sister, Junior Brother, Senior Brother is heading to Yanbei City and will probably be gone for a while. I'll leave the Taoist temple in your care," Qin Luo said with a smile.

"Senior brother, I will take good care of the Taoist temple."

"Me too."

Zi Yue and Jin Yan nodded heavily.

Qin Luo took out two books, his eyes smiling. "Junior Sister, this is my understanding of talismans. You can take a look when you have time. Junior Brother, this contains the scenes I saw during my cultivation. There are seventy-two pictures in total. I hope they will be helpful for your meditation cultivation."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Ziyue and Jinyan put down their bowls.

They flipped through the books Qin Luo had given them.

Seeing Qin Luo about to leave, Zi Yue pulled out a bulging bag. "Senior brother, here's a bag of money for you."

"I don't need it."

"Senior brother, it might be useful on the way."

"All right."

Qin Luo accepted his junior sister's kindness.

"I'm leaving."

"You must cultivate diligently."

"Senior brother, you must come back soon!"

Qin Luo had instructed his master the night before that he should not disturb Zhang Fulong, who was still sleeping, and left gracefully.

As they descended the mountain, the little dumpling landed on Qin Luo's shoulder, tilting its head and asking, "Boss, are you leaving?"

"What, you want to come with me?"

The little dumpling puffed out its chest and said, "It's no fun outside the mountains. After you leave, I'll be the boss of the mountains."

"No causing trouble in the mountains!"

"hey-hey!"

The little dumpling flapped its wings and flew away.

...

Jinyang City.

Qin Luo arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

Upon seeing Qin Luo appear, the white-browed elder was excited and immediately notified the Pavilion Master, Lin Gan.

Qin Luo saw many people buying door god paintings at the Treasure Pavilion. The quality was quite good. Lin Gan rushed downstairs and said, "Immortal Master, it is an honor to have you here. Please forgive me for not welcoming you properly."

"It's alright."

"Does the Treasure Pavilion have a map of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Lin Gan approached Qin Luo, looked around, and muttered, "I don't have a detailed map, but I do have a general one. Please follow me, Immortal Master."

The Great Xia Dynasty had very strict control over maps.

Qin Luo arrived at the storage room and saw a huge map on the wall. The territory of the Great Xia was vast, extending east to Fusang County, south to the Chaotic Demon Sea, west to the Great Desert, and north to the Great Chu.

The Tianxuan Continent has five states, with the Central State being the largest. The Central State is divided into four regions: east, west, south, and north. The Great Xia Dynasty spans the southeast and is the strongest dynasty in the Central State, showing a strong tendency to annex other dynasties and unify the Central State.

Qin Luo imprinted the map into his mind and bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your trouble, Pavilion Master Lin."

"I dare not accept such praise."

Lin Gan waved his hand repeatedly.

"Master, let me make you some tea."

"I have other matters to attend to, I'll visit again later."

"Immortal Master, let me see you off!"

Lin Gan personally escorted Qin Luo away from the Treasure Pavilion.

Yanbei City is located in the north, near the Great Chu. There is a winding road from Jinyang City to Yanbei City. After Qin Luo knew the general direction, he decided to take the mountain paths. Where there were no paths, they would appear after he had walked them.

He paved roads through mountains and built bridges over rivers.

They walked straight towards Yanbei City.

Around noon, Qin Luo passed through a small village. Smoke was rising from the chimneys, villagers were working in the mountains, children were playing under a big tree at the village entrance, and the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking filled the air, creating a lively scene.

"very nice."

Qin Luo's brows relaxed.

He likes this kind of life.

After a brief stay, Qin Luo left the small village, stopping as he crossed a river.

"Come out."

Qin Luo gazed at the surging river.

A silver-white figure leaped out of the water. The silver-haired dragon girl was barefoot. She walked on air and came to Qin Luo, smiling gently, "Sir, what a coincidence, you're here too?"

"I knew you were following me after I left Longhu Temple. What are you planning to do?" Qin Luo said in a deep voice.

The silver-haired dragon girl twirled her silver hair in front of her with her slender hand, pursed her lips, and said like a shy young girl, "Sir, you promised me before that you would go to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom and help me get justice!"

"Assuming what you're saying is true."

"How could I possibly lie to you, sir?"

What's your name?

"Please call me Linglong, sir!"

Qin Luo smiled and said, "Miss Linglong, I'm heading to Yanbei City, not the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. You don't need to come with me."

"I'm afraid my husband will get lost."

Linglong pursed her lips.

Qin Luo was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. "I'll return to Longhu Temple once I've finished my business. You don't need to worry about me disappearing."

"Sir, I want to follow you."

“Miss Linglong, you’re too conspicuous by my side. I’d like to keep a low profile.”

"Sir, don't you know you're very handsome? I think you're more popular than me."

Qin Luo was genuinely unaware of how handsome he was, and was somewhat embarrassed by the compliment. "Miss Linglong, if I ever travel to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, I'll take you with me."
