After a whole night of walking from the Jade Hollow Plains, the thin, bald monk approached Fanling City's gates, his patched robes fluttering in the morning breeze.
His staff tapped a steady rhythm against the earth, leaving a faint trail in his wake.
The Conduit Tower's shadow still loomed in his mind, as it was his mission to destroy all of them. But before that, he had to confirm the divine thread linked with it.
The Divine Convenience Store was the key and the Shopkeeper, Lin Mo, the so-called Convenience Saint, was its heart.
Cultivators and mortals parted for him, their whispers trailing in his wake.
"A wandering monk… is he here for the store?"
"He looks like he traveled all the way here on foot. Hurry, give him water."
