The elder dared not probe any further. Someone who can persuade such a powerful grandmaster to serve as a coachman must undoubtedly have an extraordinary status, which he couldn’t afford to offend.

As for Meng Shushu, he was nowhere to be found in the carriage.

“According to the clues, Meng Shushu has fled to the Iron Mountain County. Now that we have cordoned off Iron Mountain County, let’s see how he can escape. But is the information accurate?”

The elder harbored some doubts.

Iron Mountain County was an impoverished and remote place. Meng Shushu fleeing there was tantamount to courting death, wasn’t it?

Meng Chong drove the carriage towards Green Forest City. Inside the carriage, Meng Shushu had some worries. The fellow he had hired was a Grandmaster.

And a very powerful one at that.

“Brother Meng, are you a peak Grandmaster?”

Meng Shushu asked tentatively.

He now had some doubts that Meng Chong might be colluding with those men, coveting his treasures.

“Honorable client, you can rest assured. My reputation as Meng Chong is impeccable. As long as you keep your promise, I will not double-cross you.” Meng Chong patted his chest and replied.

“Haha, Brother Meng, you misunderstood. How can I, Meng Shushu suspect? I am merely curious about your strength.”

Meng Shushu laughed off leadingly.

The journey to Green Forest City was long and dangerous. In order to avoid exposure, Meng Shushu had huddled in the carriage all this while, not daring to venture out.

Thankfully, Meng Chong was strong. The mere exposure of a hint of his aura ensured no one dare interfere, let alone probe him.

How could anyone who could command a grandmaster martial artist to drive a carriage be an ordinary individual?

While Meng Chong was on his way to Green Forest City, Xu Yan, after parting from Du Yuying, retraced his steps with the spiritual medicine and returned to the city of Lanping.

The Spiritual Medicine was stored in Tianbao Pavilion within the city.

“The Seven-star Study Palace is hailed as the Holy Land of Inner Realm Martial Arts, pooling all the great martial artists. There are countless strong individuals, and it enrolls talents regardless of their backgrounds.”

“There, Martial Arts are as vast as the ocean, just as my master said. Inner Realm Martial Arts have their merits. I should go and take a look at the Seven-Star Study Palace.”

Xu Yan found his next target.

Aside from continuing to earn spirit crystals and buy more spiritual medicine, his next step was to go to the Seven-Star Study Palace to check out Inner Realm Martial Arts, absorb the essence, and integrate it into himself.

In this short journey to the Inner Realm, he had reaped enormous benefits.

He had comprehended the true meaning of Dragon Chant and derived a Sword Dao technique, “Mountain River Dragon Chant.” If he went to the Seven-Star Study Palace, he would surely gain access to more Inner Realm Martial Arts.

“However, before that, I need to cultivate my state of heart!”

Xu Yan found that his Sword Dao had improved, but his state of heart was somehow inflated, causing him to be distracted by external things. Therefore, he had to cultivate his state of heart and elevate it to a higher level.

“When I was in the borderland, I honed my heart state with Emperor Qi’s harem. But Emperor Qi’s consorts are merely ordinary people. No matter how beautiful they are, they lack a certain charm.”

“Du Yuying is a martial artist with decent strength and remarkable bearing. She is much more enchanting. Thus, if 1 want to hone my heart state, 1 should go to a place with many beautiful women.”

“Moreover, these beautiful women should all be martial artists, each possessing different charms and stunning beauty. This would better hone my state of heart.”

With this thought in mind, Xu Yan asked around to find such a place.

The answer he got pointed to a single place.

The Wushuang Pavilion in Thousand Lakes Prefecture of Great Yue, which was considered unparalleled under heaven.

Numerous martial artists fell head over heels in it and couldn’t extricate themselves. The dancers and courtesans in the Wushuang Pavilion were extremely beautiful and skilful with impressive strength.

From first-grade to ninth-grade martial artists, all were said to be here. Even rumors about the presence of grandmaster-level beauties existed.

Whatever type of beauty one wanted, it could be found in Wushuang Pavilion, whether they were heroic and valiant, coquettish and charming, gentle and cute, or literate and refined…

“There is actually such a place in the Inner Realm, which is much better than a brothel. It’s absolutely a treasure trove for cultivating the heart state. If I go there, I will certainly elevate my heart state.”

“Once my mind is free from worldly distractions, my Sword Dao will naturally become clear, allowing me to achieve greater heights!”

Xu Yan was over the moon and promptly set off for Thousand Lakes.

The Wushuang Pavilion in Thousand Lakes was known as the top pleasure land in Great Yue.

It was not only famous in Great Yue, but it also had a wide reputation across the entire Inner Realm.

Countless martial artists squandered their gifts, indulging in pleasures, and wasted their Martial Dao here.

The beauties of the Wushuang Pavilion came from all over the Inner Realm. Some were cultivated from a young age; some were bought from the Great Yue Education Department; some were captured by enemies and sold to Wushuang Pavilion.

The background of the Wushuang Pavilion was impenetrable. It was rumored that even the princes of Great Yue had to pay a hefty fee to enjoy their services.

Thousand Lakes was not a single lake but a series of large and small interconnected lakes, akin to thousands of stars, hence the name Thousand Lakes.

Artificial waterways connected the lakes, and there were bridges between the lakes to facilitate smooth water and land transportation.

The Wushuang Pavilion was located within Thousand Lakes.

From the peripheral small lakes to the central large lakes, there was a hierarchical system. The deeper one delved into Thousand Lakes, the more enchanting the scenery, and the stronger the dancing girls and singers.

It was rumored that in the heart of Thousand Lakes were several magnificent pleasure boats and a towering building in the water, housing grandmaster-level dancers.

Of course, those who could enter were all grandmaster martial artists or even higher, and they all had wealthy backgrounds.

Ordinary grandmasters did not have the financial means to enter.

Standing by Thousand Lakes, as far as the eye could see, there were pleasure boats docked in the sparkling blue water, and there were also painted boats shuttling back and forth, floating on the waves or rowing towards another lake’s flower cluster.

Whenever there was a soft sound of piano playing from a boat, a sweet sound of singing accompanied it, attracting a crowd of poor martial artists who watched the painted boat disappear into the flower clusters with envy, jealousy, and resentment..
