Chapter Seven: Alone on a Journey of Ten Thousand Miles

  "Whoa... Sixth floor tomorrow!"

  Two hours later, Luo Zhuo, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly exhaled a long breath. His opened eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement at the bottom.

  After taking the "Wash Marrow Pill", Luo Zhan's cultivation made another breakthrough, and he was promoted to the sixth layer of the post-heavenly realm. At the same time, after the "Wash Marrow Pill" washed his marrow, the flow of true energy in Luo Zhan's meridians became more agile.

  "Huh?"

  As he sensed the surging of pure Yang internal energy within his Dantian, Luo Zhan was extremely satisfied. However, in an instant, his brow furrowed as he realized that after refining the "Wash Marrow Pill", the impurities that had been forced out of his body were now stuck to his skin, making him feel rather uncomfortable.

  "Waiter!"

  Immediately, Luo Zhuang quickly got out of bed and walked swiftly out of the room, calling out to a young servant in the corridor.

  "Welcome! What can I do for you, sir?"

  The little servant on the corridor of the inn, was specially kept to run errands for the guests in the wing rooms. Hearing Luo Zhuang's call, he hastily gave a bow and came forward.

  "Yes, prepare two buckets of bath water for the young master."

  Call over Zas Xiao Er, Luo Zhen Wei nodded slightly, and immediately, while instructing with his mouth, he threw out a piece of silver worth about half a tael.

  "Alright! Young master, just wait a moment, it'll be fine soon."

  He took over the scattered silver thrown by Luo Zhu, and the little servant revealed a look of extreme joy, bowed and sang a courtesy, then happily ran down to the second floor to prepare the bathtub and other things.

  The next morning, Luo Zhuo, who had just broken through to the sixth layer of cultivation the night before, retired to his room after breakfast and asked about the location of the horse seller, then set off immediately.

  Kunlun is a thousand miles away, and Luo Zhan cannot possibly walk there. Otherwise, he might not be able to catch up with Liu Zhengfeng's "Golden Basin Washing Hands" conference at Mount Heng.

  "Don't worry, young master. This 'High-quality Horse' is absolutely worth five hundred taels of silver. Our 'Wan Ma Fang' has always been honest with everyone!"

  In the western part of the city, in a building complex called "Wan Ma Fang", a person who looked like he was in charge was enthusiastically introducing a tall and majestic horse to Luo Zhuang.

  "Ah, this is fifty taels of gold."

  Looking at the enthusiastic and talkative manager of Ma Fang, Luo Zhen frowned slightly and took a step back. Immediately, he untied the blue cloth bundle behind his back and took out five golden ingots.

  In several missions outside the main world, Luo Zhuang did indeed "leave a fragrance in the moonlit night" and visited several wealthy families. The "Bronze Token" storage space actually stored quite a bit of gold and silver.

  "Borrowing a BMW for a spin, the lone knight of ten thousand miles says thanks here! Haha......"

  Suddenly, a loud shout came from afar and drew near. As the words fell, a robust middle-aged man with a sturdy build, dressed in black, sprinted towards them.

  Then, without waiting for Luo Zhuo to respond after having just paid the silver, he directly did a "sparrow flipping its body", mounted his horse's back, and amidst loud laughter, he actually drove his horse away.

  "Where can you escape, vile thief Tanba no Kageyoshi?!"

  "Halt at once or face death!"

  ……

  The next moment, several loud shouts came one after another. Three or four chivalrous guests holding knives and swords appeared, and in the blink of an eye, they quickly chased after them.

  "Mount up! After him!"

  "Heirloom..."

  Immediately, the horsemen saw Tian Boguang riding away and chased after him. With a loud shout, several fine horses were led away amidst the neighing of the horses, leaving behind the worried-looking managers and stable boys at the horse market.

  Obviously, neither the reputation of "Wanderer of Ten Thousand Miles" nor the pursuing Luoyang knights are something that a minor official or martial artist can provoke.

  " Tian Boguang? He's actually this formidable, I'm afraid he has the strength of a ninth-level cultivator!"

  Looking at Tian Boguang's figure galloping away in the distance, Luo Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself.

  "This cursed Tian Boguang! Relying on his agility, he has brought calamity to countless innocent women!"

  "Heavenly way, evil will be punished! This villain will eventually get his retribution!"

  ……

  As the figure of Tian Boguang, "Wanderer of Ten Thousand Miles", disappeared, the stewards in the horse stable and other martial artists who had just entered the realm of the post-heavenly stage, finally spoke out, cursing loudly with an air of wanting to drink his blood and eat his flesh.

  "Alright, bring another 'High Horse' then."

  Seeing the steward and others keeping silent about the guest being robbed at Ma's workshop, Luo Zhan shook his head slightly and didn't bother to ask. He took out five gold bars from his package again and threw them to the steward with a bitter face.

  "Alright, young master is indeed magnanimous! Please wait for a moment!"

  Delighted to receive the five gold bars handed over by Luo Zhu, the usually capable and agile steward, who had just now been a picture of worry and concern, suddenly changed his expression, smiled all over his face after responding with a "yes", and turned his head to shout at someone beside him.

  "Don't you have ears? Hurry up and bring out a 'High-Quality Horse' for the young master!"

  Before long, he took over a "high-quality horse" handed over by a martial artist. Luo Zhen no longer stayed, and although Kunlun was still far away, it was hard to resist the longing in his heart.

  "Drive!"

  "Heirloom..."

  Then, under the escort of Ma Fang's attendants, Luo Zhuang clamped his legs on the horse's belly and galloped away along the official road with a loud "horseshoe" sound, rushing far away in waves.

  "This is Mount Kunlun!"

  Half a month later, a young man in a green shirt appeared at the foot of a continuous mountain range, riding a tall and handsome horse. This young man with a straight figure was Luo Zhan, who had rushed all the way from Luoyang.

  After half a month of cultivation, with the help of "Xiao Chunyang Dan", Luo Zhu's cultivation made great progress. His pure yang internal energy and true qi became even more profound, although he was only at the sixth level of acquired skill, he could already be compared to an ordinary seventh-level martial artist who cultivated ordinary skills.

  After all, the Tianbang strongman Zhao Wujie prepared "Xiao Chunyang Dan" for Luo Zhan, which was of great benefit to the acquired realm, especially for martial artists who cultivate Yang Gang attribute methods.

  For half a month, twenty pills of "Xiao Chun Yang Dan" have been taken by Luo Zhen, five pills have been swallowed, the progress of "Pure Yang True Qi" in the elixir field is remarkable, and it can be said that it has achieved several months of hard work.

  "Hmm, if you want to find Kunlun Valley, you need to start from the "Zhu Family Town" over a hundred years ago."

  Gazing at the vast expanse of peaks, he pondered for a moment on Luo Zhan's words, nodded slightly, and after muttering to himself, urged his horse "Gaowanliang" forward, galloping away into the distance.

  "The Sun Moon Divine Sect" predecessor "Ming Jiao" sect master Zhang Wuji, after practicing the "Nine Yang True Classic" and achieving some success, emerged from a cave in the "Kunlun Secret Valley", as recorded by Luo Zhen without error. He was deceived by Zhu Jiuling and fell off a cliff, landing near the location of Zhu's mountain villa, "Zhu Family Town".

  According to Jin Yong, the "Kunlun Secret Valley" is surrounded by mountain peaks on all sides, with birds singing and flowers fragrant inside, like a paradise on earth. It can be known that before Zhang Wuji fell off the cliff, the secret valley where he was located was actually halfway up the mountain, and there must have been several peaks surrounding it.
