The cicadas' cries echoed along the treetops, gently swaying in the wind. Behind the window lattice, Honglian floated closer, gazing outside. Her eyes were drawn to the side profile of the man deeply focused behind the easel, her thoughts momentarily adrift. Ink danced on the brush, as the blank canvas gradually revealed a vast outline in shades of green ink. "…I wonder if that person’s cultivation is profound or not." While the tip of the pen moved across the paper, Lu Liangsheng's mind wandered…

Lu Liangsheng put away the few sheets of yellow paper on the table, glanced towards the door, and smiled slightly. In truth, even without using these yellow papers, he could still use Spirit Crane Tracking or Incense Burning Pathfinding to trace the Daoist, provided that the distance didn't exceed several dozen li. With everything in order, he checked out of the inn and, leading his old donkey, followed a servant from the Zhou Manor, who was carrying the bookcase, through the long streets until they…

Leaving Zhou's Manor behind, Lu Liangsheng walked alone along the long street. At this hour, few pedestrians were around, though he could still faintly hear the songs of courtesans from the brothels. Reaching a more secluded area, he used his cultivation technique to force the alcohol out of his body. From time to time, brokers approached him from dark alleys, attempting to entice him to visit nearby brothels. Lu Liangsheng, still somewhat inexperienced with such things, naturally declined politely and…

Under the cover of the deep, quiet night, Lu Liangsheng and the Toad Daoist did not linger long at the Zhou Manor. They swiftly retraced their steps along the courtyard walls and hurried through the streets. In the distance, a group of riders holding torches disappeared at the far end of the road. The figure leading them carried several long sabers on his back, a silhouette that seemed vaguely familiar. “That person who just passed looks like Head Constable Zuo...” After taking a brief glance, Lu…

Tied up in the side courtyard, a large black dog strained against its rope, barking toward the light cast by the window, growling at the figure of an aged woman. Plop plop... Plop plop plop... The sound of water continued, echoing through the warm yellow room. Madam Zhou carefully approached the door, clutching a silk handkerchief, and quietly called for the maid in the next room. “Xiaohuan... Wake up quickly and go see what’s happening outside.” The maid next door, who had been lightly dozing,…

Lu Liangsheng had only glanced through a few medical texts and was not proficient in the field. At that moment, he had the intention but did not dare to rashly offer to help someone in need of treatment. Once the conversations outside had subsided, he stood up, took the few books, and walked out to bid farewell to the old man under the eaves. Zhou Zhen nodded and walked with this junior to the front yard to see him out, likely with the intention of getting some fresh air. “…I originally wanted to…

He Valley Prefecture is located in the southeastern part of Southern Chen, with the Ji Yu Mountain Range, and Qixia Mountain to the southwest. It governs five counties and, while not considered particularly wealthy, is still somewhat larger than Fushui County. Its broad streets are paved with stone bricks, but there are also narrow alleys with stone and dirt roads. In summer, the rainwater soaks into muddy ground, leaving behind traces of people, chickens, and dogs everywhere. Lu Liangsheng led the old…

The atmosphere grew tense. Beneath the eaves, another white fox demon flicked its long tail and glanced sideways at its retreating kin. “Big Sister, what could possibly be frightening you in this dilapidated temple…” Before it could finish speaking, it sensed a chilling presence emanating from inside the temple. The white fox demon froze momentarily. Before she could say anything, the red fox demon that had backed away from under the eaves lowered its voice, its fox eyes fixed intently on the…

A faint breeze stirred the mist in the forest. The Daoist, dragging a peach wood sword, only then noticed the scholar standing at the temple gate, Nie Honglian, and the Toad Daoist. He was momentarily taken aback but quickly approached them. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Seeing his old friend made Lu Liangsheng quite happy, though he was a bit puzzled about how he had ended up here. "That’s what I should be asking you. Didn’t you go off to subduing demons and eliminating evil in the world? Why…

The early summer approaches. Amidst the crimson twilight, the grass swayed gently, and a small insect crawling to the tip of a blade of grass was suddenly devoured, along with the grass, by a donkey's mouth. In a sea of crimson light, the old donkey, wagging its tail, chewed on the roadside grass while leisurely carrying Lu Liangsheng along a country road. The destination, He Valley Prefecture, was several hundred miles away. If one pushed a fast horse, they could arrive within two or three days, and…
