Li Yuan nodded and said, "You ca just in ti, please tighten the embroidery on this brocade pouch for ."
The shopkeeper’s wife was montarily stunned. She picked up a needle and thread and began embroidering the opening of the pouch while listening to her husband talk about Yan Yu.
A mont later, the shopkeeper’s wife sighed deeply.
"In a couple of days, I’ll take Xiaozhao to et her."
"Will it scare the child?"
"It won’t."
After a while, Xiaozhu’s voice ca from outside.
"Master, the horse is ready."
Li Yuan turned around, picked up a birdcage, received the brocade pouch, and left with the shopkeeper’s wife.
The shopkeeper’s wife went up to Xiaozhu, took her hand, whispered sothing in her ear, and Xiaozhu’s face instantly turned red, while Li Yuan rode away.
...
Blood Saber Sect, the Inner City has been relocated temporarily to a main mansion near Baiyun Alley, which was originally a property of the Blood Saber Sect, thus reusing it in this ergency fits well.
Li Yuan handed the letter to Yu Chaoyin, explained the situation, and then instructed him to send a clever Seventh Grade to deliver the letter.
Yu Chaoyin thought for a mont and then directly summoned the current Elder of the Blood Saber Sect—Fang Jianlong.
Fang Jianlong was once the top talent among the Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Saber Sect, while Li Yuan was just a comndable Outer Disciple at the ti.
However, after all that had transpired, Fang Jianlong had long adjusted his mindset, without harboring any malicious thoughts like "Why is he so strong?" or "I am not convinced."
This tall, robust, and stern-looking man had beco calr, and the arrogance that once filled his eyes when Li Yuan first t him had vanished.
"Greetings, Ancestor."
Li Yuan glanced over Fang Jianlong.
Five years ago, this man broke into the Seventh Grade, rigorously trained, had long consolidated his Seventh Grade Realm, reached its pinnacle, and achieved Great Success in the Blood Saber Sect’s Sword Skill, with a current information showing "205~215" hovering overhead.
This was slightly stronger than the "Gongshu Yang" of the past.
"Yan Mu is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Divine Wood Hall, and I suppose you have heard about our relationship.
This ti, you must personally deliver the letter to him, and after he responds, return."
Li Yuan said calmly, "I aim to trade for Blood Gold through him."
"Blood Gold..."
Fang Jianlong hesitated a bit, as he naturally knew that "Blood Gold" is the "exclusive currency" for Martial Artists above the Sixth Grade, also serving as a vast chasm between ordinary Martial Artists and those above the Sixth Grade.
How could one reach the Sixth Grade if they can’t even buy the items from that realm?
The only way is through layers of selection by major forces and having enough opportunities to enter those forces.
Therefore, Fang Jianlong hesitated, thinking that this matter might not succeed.
Li Yuan didn’t intend for an imdiate success but said, "Just give it a try, and whatever the outco, report back to ."
"Yes," Fang Jianlong replied respectfully.
Suddenly, Li Yuan threw out a sealed brocade pouch.
Fang Jianlong caught it in one swift motion.
Li Yuan said, "Currently, Beijiang Prefecture may be filled with hidden currents, as Xinhai and the subordinate forces of the Divine Wood Hall, Holy Fire Palace, and Mountain Hall are engaging in open and covert battles. Carry this with you; it can protect your life if Xinhai acts against you in secret, but make sure no one knows about it."
Fang Jianlong gripped the brocade pouch tightly, feeling a piece of tal inside, square and cold, the icy chill penetrating even through the brocade.
He looked up at the Ancestor.
The Ancestor still looked as young as when they first t several years ago, but now seed unfathomable.
Li Yuan stood up again, picking up a birdcage from the table, which held two beautiful white sparrows.
Li Yuan walked up to him, handed over the cage, and said, "Jianlong, these two white birds were companions I gathered from the North, having been with for so ti, and now it’s ti for them to return. Once you’ve crossed the river, let them go."
The Long Sleep River is wide, lacking rest stops, so the white sparrows couldn’t fly across, hence Li Yuan asked soone to take them over.
"A trivial task, don’t worry, Ancestor," Fang Jianlong said.
Li Yuan patted his shoulder, "Jianlong, notify Cheng Bao to bring a talented child from the Fang Family to the Martial House.
If Cheng Bao wants to change his cultivation skill, he can also co to the Martial House."
Fang Jianlong’s eyes lit up with joy, "Yes."
Li Yuan walked out.
Yu Chaoyin looked at Fang Jianlong, "The Ancestor is preserving your Fang Family, freeing you from worries, yet this task suits none better than you."
He raised his eyes, looking at the man intently, "Though filled with hidden threats, it’s also an opportunity."
Fang Jianlong slightly lowered his gaze, "I will not disappoint the Ancestor, nor the Sect Leader. However, this ti, please allow so miscellaneous task individuals and disciples to accompany ."
"Certainly," Yu Chaoyin nodded.
Fang Jianlong bowed and left, while Yu Chaoyin gazed into the distance, softly sighing, "I wonder if Tie Sha has managed to contact the Holy Fire Palace in Jiangbei Prefecture."
From his shadow erged a figure, with white hair yet a youthful face—it was Elder Ding, who had accompanied Tie Sha.
Elder Ding stood silently behind him, without responding, only letting out a soft sigh.
Beijiang Prefecture...
Truly dangerous.
That is not a place where re wisdom and decisiveness ensure survival.
...
...
Several days later.
A carriage, surrounded by a group of riders, was heading north, successfully reaching Antelope Pass, continuing onward.
Inside the carriage sat soone appearing to be a young noble, surrounded by people dressed as rchant guards.
This young noble, naturally, was Fang Jianlong.
Knowing the dangers in Beijiang Prefecture, he couldn’t venture there as a Martial Artist, so he pretended to be a young master from a comrce association.
For authenticity, he had even borrowed his clothing from Hengwu Restaurant, as Hengwu Restaurant currently had Ningyu Comrce Association operating trades in the region.
