[Refining Spirit Technique, Second Layer 85/2000]
After completing a day of cultivation, Chu Ning glanced at his proficiency in the Refining Spirit Technique.
It increased by 2 points.
At the sa ti, Chu Ning could also feel that within the Mud Ball Palace, one of the hundred drops of Spiritual Sense Liquid had strengthened slightly.
"This analysis of the Talisman Source really can enhance the Divine Sense!"
Chu Ning was overjoyed at the thought.
For the next two days, while waiting for Cheng Jinhe to recruit people, Chu Ning continued his cultivation.
He cultivated the Fla Divine Wood Technique to refine Magical Power while analyzing the Talisman Source and cultivating Divine Sense.
Even in this mortal world where Spiritual Qi was thin, the cultivation was not significantly hindered.
In the anti, every ti Cheng Jinhe and his people had als, they would invite him to join, proactively.
He didn’t have to worry about food and lodging.
Three days passed, and that morning, while Chu Ning was analyzing the Sword Sealing Talisman.
"Bang! Bang!"
A sudden knocking sound ca, followed by a voice from outside.
"Young Hero Chu, the owner invites you to pack up and et at the backyard of the inn; we are about to set off."
Have they recruited everyone?
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning imdiately got up, grabbed his Giant Sword, slung the Beast Hide Bag over his shoulder, and headed out.
Outside, a fellow who Chu Ning had seen before with Cheng Jinhe was smiling broadly at him.
"Young Hero Chu, the owner has recruited the people. We are about to depart."
"Alright, let’s go."
As Chu Ning descended the stairs with the fellow, he asked sowhat unexpectedly:
"I heard your owner was worried about the long journey yesterday. Did you recruit people this quickly today?"
"Yes, a few people ca in succession yesterday afternoon and today, and now we are all set."
As they chatted, they reached the backyard of the inn together.
At this mont in the backyard, aside from Cheng Jinhe and a short-bearded man nad Li Song, there were over thirty others.
The majority were dressed as servants, busy loading boxes and transporting goods onto carriages.
Additionally, six or seven were dressed as guards like Li Song.
These should be Cheng Jinhe’s original guards, and there were five others dressed uniquely.
They seed to be the recently recruited escorts.
Everyone inevitably looked at each other, and Li Song began to introduce them to each other.
"This is Young Hero Chu, Chu Ping..."
Through Li Song’s introductions, Chu Ning got to know the four n and one woman.
The oldest was a man in his forties, of dium build in gray clothing, nad Yu Zhengchun, who seed not to talk much and held a sheathed sword.
There were also two n appearing two or three years younger.
One was small and monkey-like, with a long whip at his waist, nad Dai Zu’en.
The other was tall and burly, holding a Big Copper Hamr in one hand, nad Han Wangan.
The only woman among the five was around thirty, dressed in a fitted suit, with a plain but sowhat plump appearance.
She held a Long Sword and was nad Du Huarong.
The last was a young man about twenty-six or twenty-seven, looking like a scholar, holding a fan, nad Shen Shaohai.
Chu Ning glanced and noticed sothing strange within the fan, likely a concealed weapon.
After the introductions, Li Song announced to everyone:
"The owner has buyers waiting, so we’ll head out directly, and I must trouble everyone along the way."
Beside him, Cheng Jinhe quickly added:
"I must trouble you all along the way, and Mr. Cheng will reward you greatly as long as we reach the destination safely."
As they exchanged pleasantries, the servants were almost done loading the boxes, and Li Song had the inn boy bring out so horses.
Judging by their deanor, these were indeed excellent horses.
Chu Ning took a bridle from a boy, but instead of mounting imdiately, he observed the others first.
After everyone was mounted, he remained standing on the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Shaohai, holding an Iron Fan, asked with a smile:
"Brother Chu, why aren’t you mounting? Don’t tell you can’t ride a horse."
Chu Ning smiled, then agilely swung onto the horseback, his movents swift and precise.
He hadn’t ridden a horse before, but as a cultivator, his body was cleansed by Spiritual Qi, and he also knew Body Refinent.
His control over his body was far superior to that of ordinary mortal martial artists.
He quickly learned just by observing how the others mounted their horses.
"What impressive skills!"
Shen Shaohai praised him openly.
"You flatter , Brother Shen," Chu Ning humbly replied.
Li Song then assigned positions among the group, placing Chu Ning, Shen Shaohai, and the Big Hamr-wielding Han Wangan at the front of the convoy.
Accompanied by two of their own guards.
Li Song and the remaining recruits took positions on either side of the team.
At the end of the convoy were also their own guards.
Among them was a person nad Yao Rong, with a double-saber at his waist, looking formidable, and was a leading figure among the guards, a deputy leader.
The procession left Yuhua City through the north gate. Since it was the start of the journey, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
After traveling so distance, Shen Shaohai actively struck up a conversation with Chu Ning:
"Brother Chu seems to be a couple of years younger than I am. May I ask which sect Brother Chu hails from, roaming the world alone at such a young age?"
Chu Ning shook his head and said:
"No sect really, just learned so farm tricks by accident, nothing to catch Brother Shen’s eye."
"I doubt it," Han Wangan interjected from the side.
His stature was huge, and his voice was gruff and loud.
