657. Chapter 655: Merchant Caravan Journey

He stepped into White Cloud Town, moving with the crowd through the bustling streets.

Along the streets, vendors shouted, and stalls were filled with all kinds of goods.

They hawked their wares, filling White Cloud Town with noise and vitality.

Lu Yuan found that the Azure Sky Merchant Group's presence had no positive influence.

Since settling in White Cloud Town, this group has influenced the city's order through overbearing tactics.

It is said they often extort and even threaten other merchants with violence at the slightest provocation.

As the owner of Lei Huo Dan Ge and a cultivator, Lu Yuan could not tolerate such behavior.

He decided to leave some positive energy in the city, providing the people with a place of peace.

The Purifying Heaven Dew he carried could dispel evil qi, gradually restoring calm to the area.

As Lu Yuan observed intently, he suddenly noticed a familiar sign—the Flying Snow Merchant Caravan.

This caravan was one he had heard about before, and it happened to be headed for Huafang City, the site of the Profound Heaven Gate examination.

He quickened his pace and caught up with the caravan.

"Excuse me, may I join you?"

Lu Yuan politely made the request to the caravan leader.

Seeing that a cultivator wanted to join their caravan, the leader naturally would not refuse the unknown power.

"May I ask your name?"

"I am Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan replied with a smile.

The caravan leader nodded.

"Welcome aboard; I'm Wang Dong."

Wang Dong led Lu Yuan into the caravan's central area, where he saw vehicles loaded with various goods and many merchants busy at work.

A bustling scene unfolded before him.

Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er followed closely and also joined the caravan, reuniting the three of them.

The caravan was preparing to depart, and Lu Yuan found them in the line.

After discussion, they decided to cooperate on the road and face the upcoming trials together.

The caravan left White Cloud Town and entered a dense forest.

Lu Yuan carefully observed his surroundings and analyzed possible dangers.

Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, and Zi Xi'er followed Bai Lin through White Cloud City Gate and soon reached the caravan's lodgings.

The caravan's lodgings were in a spacious building at the city's center, with goods neatly arranged.

Lu Yuan gazed at the goods, secretly pondering how to use them in his cultivation.

Bai Lin noticed Lu Yuan's contemplation, came to his side, and asked concernedly, "Brother Lu Yuan, do you see anything among these goods that could aid your cultivation?"

I can help you pick them out.

Lu Yuan nodded eagerly: "Thank you, Brother Bai Lin; I've recently been cultivating a new technique and need some special materials."

I will share the list of requirements with you.

Having said that, Lu Yuan took out paper and pen from his storage bag, wrote down the needed materials, and handed them to Bai Lin.

After receiving the list, Bai Lin said seriously, "I will immediately go purchase and find the materials for you as soon as possible."

Feeling Bai Lin's kindness and sincerity, Lu Yuan felt a warm surge in his heart.

He decided that in White Cloud Town he would not only seek what he needed for his cultivation, but also contribute his strength to the people.

Seeing Lu Yuan's eager expression, Bai Lin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Lu Yuan, do you have some plan in mind?"

Lu Yuan smiled and replied, "I hope to bring some positive energy to this city."

"As far as I know, the Azure Sky Merchant Group has been oppressing the people; I will do my best to change this situation."

Bai Lin heard this and nodded thoughtfully: "The Azure Sky Merchant Group is indeed a problem, but nobody knows how to deal with them."

"Do you really intend to oppose them?"

Lu Yuan said without hesitation: "Of course!"

"As a cultivator and the owner of Lei Huo Dan Ge, I cannot stand by and do nothing."

"I will use my strength to protect this city and its people."

Seeing Lu Yuan's determined gaze, Bai Lin felt a resolve rise in his heart.

"Brother Lu Yuan, since we share the same goal, let us join hands to defeat the Azure Sky Merchant Group!"

The two clasped hands, exchanging determination and trust.

After settling in, Bai Lin invited Lu Yuan to tour White Cloud Town's notable sights and market together.

Together they entered a grand temple housing statues of the immortals of the Heavenly Court.

This temple is called the Heavenly Immortal Hall, one of White Cloud Town's most important places of faith.

Lu Yuan gazed at the towering stone carvings inside the hall and exclaimed, "The Heavenly Immortal Hall is magnificent, its faith power strong."

Bai Lin explained to Lu Yuan, "In White Cloud Town, cultivators and ordinary people coexist, and we hold a deep reverence for faith."

"This is one of the key reasons we can maintain harmony."

They followed the winding stone steps inside the hall up to the top floor.

From here, one can overlook the beautiful scenery of White Cloud Town.

Lu Yuan looked up at the towering peak piercing the clouds, took a deep breath, and replied, "I can feel that this place is full of vitality and peace."

"I will do my utmost to protect this harmony; after the Profound Heaven Gate examination, I will return to do even more for everyone."

He silently resolved to use his strength to bring White Cloud Town more tranquility and positive energy.

Bai Lin sensed Lu Yuan's determination, admiration flashing in their eyes.

The two continued to tour the market of White Cloud Town, where numerous stalls and a dazzling array of goods attracted endless streams of people.

Lu Yuan walked through the crowd and saw a stall selling medicinal pills.

He curiously approached, seeing the goods neatly arranged. The stall owner enthusiastically introduced himself: "Honored guest, may I ask what you need?"

"We have all kinds of medicinal pills here, guaranteed to meet your needs."

Lu Yuan felt moved, took out the required materials from the list and handed them to the stall owner.

The stall owner took the list, examined it carefully, and nodded in agreement.

"I have all these materials here; I can prepare them for you."

Lu Yuan smiled and thanked: "Thank you very much!"

"Please prepare them as soon as possible."

The stall owner secretly glanced at Lu Yuan, a hint of approval appearing on their face.

They understood that Lu Yuan was no ordinary person, surely possessing an extraordinary background and great strength.

Lu Yuan and Bai Lin continued to tour the market, one side watching various performances while exchanging their views on the Way of Cultivation.

At that moment, Zi Xi'er also discovered a stall selling treasures.

She curiously approached and found the stall filled with various precious antiques and Fobao.

Zi Xi'er was drawn in, unable to help but move closer to the stall owner to ask: "Are these treasures genuine?"

The stall owner confidently replied: "Of course they are genuine!" (End of chapter)
