"Hey, if it were you in person, it would be fine, but now that you're just a guide, how dare you treat me like this?" Bai Hao laughed.
If Su Yuewan herself were here, he would be somewhat wary, but this mini version of Su Yuewan in front of him is just a navigation mascot, yet she dares to point fingers here.
He couldn't resist picking up the mini version of Su Yuewan, but suddenly realized that this mini version of Su Yuewan was looking at him with a familiar, lazy yet slightly cold gaze.
His gaze was as if Su Yuewan were truly standing in front of him.
Bai Hao couldn't help but swallow hard. He quickly encouraged himself, straightened his back, and said, "Just point the way, and I'll go."
He still got scared...
He suddenly remembered that Su Yuewan could create clones, and perhaps this miniature version of Su Yuewan was one of those clones, capable of communicating with the original. In that case, if Bai Hao were disrespectful to this clone, the original might notice, and then…
Bai Hao didn't dare to think about what would happen next. He quickly got into the carriage and drove off, heading towards Zhongzhou with the help of the map and the miniature version of Su Yuewan...
...
Although Zhongzhou borders the Southern Region, strictly speaking, the journey from the Southern Region to Zhongzhou is not far. However, the Luohai Sect is located in the eastern part of the Southern Region, while the Dan Sect is in the northernmost part of Zhongzhou.
This means that the journey from Luohai Sect to Daodan Sect would take at least ten days, and that would only be possible if the carriage was fast enough, and if there were no storms or bandits along the way.
However, the actual situation was obviously not so smooth. In fact, Bai Hao encountered robbers less than a day after leaving Luohai Sect.
Adhering to the principle of being kind-hearted and not resorting to violence, Bai Hao generously let the robbers see that the carriage was empty.
He thought that if you took the robbers, they would just let her go, but the robbers, determined not to leave empty-handed, set their sights on Bai Hao's carriage.
So Bai Hao had to use a little force to scare the robber so badly that he could leave without even wetting himself.
"What a waste of time. Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Bai Hao muttered, feeling quite resentful.
He was very unhappy that Su Yuewan had sent him alone. He was incredibly bored. He wouldn't have been so bored if Su Yuewan had just sent any junior sister.
Although there is now a mini version of Su Yuewan, Bai Hao realized that he had overestimated her. Apart from being fierce at the beginning of the journey, she seemed listless after that. Most of the time, she blended into the map and only spoke up to guide Bai Hao when he went the wrong way. Otherwise, she was silent.
The signal is probably weak and the battery life is insufficient, probably because I left the Luohai Sect.
So much so that Bai Hao couldn't even chat with her for a few minutes to relieve his boredom. At first, he thought that having this mini version of Su Yuewan would at least keep him entertained on the road, but now it's no different from being alone.
It's so boring, so incredibly boring.
"Let me get there quickly." Bai Hao couldn't take it anymore.
...
It didn't take too long to get from the Southern Region to the Central Region, but there was still a long way to go to reach the Pill Sect.
Bai Hao was incredibly bored; he even felt like the carriage wheels were about to break off the way there, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"If it weren't for the need to carry the pills, I wouldn't even want this rickety carriage. I could just fly there, which would be much faster."
He was truly speechless. He didn't understand why Su Yuewan would give him such a slow and cumbersome carriage. Wouldn't it have been better to just give him a storage bag? Then he could have flown there directly, reducing the time by at least half.
Reaching the Knowledge and Action Realm means you can fly. Even if Bai Hao has never flown, it doesn't mean he can't.
But now Su Yuewan directly gave him a carriage, immediately thwarting his idea—of course, he could also carry the carriage and fly in the sky, but that scene would be a bit…unseemly.
"Why did you have to use a carriage to transport all this medicine? You could have just given me a few storage bags, wouldn't that have been enough?" Bai Hao got angrier and angrier, and started slapping the map with his hand.
The mini version of Su Yuewan inside, however, felt nothing and did not react at all, letting Bai Hao grumble and talk nonsense all by himself.
In the end, even Bai Hao himself found it boring, so he could only sigh and silently continue on his way.
...
Finally, after traveling for thirteen days, Bai Hao arrived at Blackwater City, the largest town in Central China, where the Dan Sect was located, as shown on the map!
Blackwater City, relying on the Dan Sect, became the largest town in Central Continent. However, Blackwater City was different from other towns; it did not have high city walls built around its perimeter, but only a moat—a black moat!
The river water was completely black!
Although the river water was black, it had no unpleasant smell. Its color was so pure that it was impossible to tell whether the river was flowing or not.
"So Blackwater City really is just black water." Bai Hao muttered to himself as he saw the black river in the distance.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a peculiar river.
The miniature version of Su Yuewan on the map next to her finally spoke, but she still didn't appear; only her voice came from the map.
"Blackwater City is the largest town in Central Continent. The Black River is the moat of Blackwater City. It was formed by the First Human Pill Sect Master using the tribulations of heaven and earth. It contains the death energy of heaven and earth. People who fall into it, except for those from Blackwater City, will basically not survive. Moreover, this Black River is also a barrier. No one can fly over the Black River. This is the most solid city wall of Blackwater City."
The emotionless introduction made Bai Hao feel like he was listening to a robot give a presentation.
"That sounds interesting, but as long as it doesn't fall, it's fine, right?"
Bai Hao murmured to himself as he slowly drove the carriage toward Blackwater City—there was a wide stone bridge on each side of the Blackwater River, enough for the carriage to travel freely.
It was midday, and pedestrians were coming and going. Many of them, like Bai Hao, had come from out of town, looking travel-worn and exhausted.
"At first glance, there are quite a lot of people, and many of them are from out of town. It seems that Blackwater City is quite popular." Bai Hao slowly crossed the stone bridge and entered Blackwater City.
Before this, the most prosperous town Bai Hao had ever visited was Bailu Town at the foot of Luohaizong Mountain.
He originally thought that Bailu Town was already very prosperous, but he never imagined that there was a town even more prosperous than Bailu Town.
Blackwater City, whether it's the streets, the houses, or even the trees, is much taller than White Deer Town; it's a complete and utter domination.
It's much more luxurious than Bailu Town!
"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder they have the Pill Sect backing them. Compared to them, our White Deer Town down the mountain seems terrible. Maybe our sect isn't strong enough," Bai Hao muttered to himself...
