Shen Han didn’t have too many contribution points, and the news about the treasure had already spread far and wide.
If he went, that place might have already been explored by others.
Sitting in the hollow of a dead tree, Shen Han hesitated for half a day.
He decided to go have a look anyway.
With his unique abilities, resolving those problems was something almost no one in the world could compete with him on.
If the treasure hadn’t been found by others, he would have a great opportunity.
After nightfall, Shen Han set off again.
According to the information, the treasure was located in a place called Heqiu Mountain.
The location is north of Five Immortals City.
In the vast Southern Heaven Continent, traveling to a place indeed takes a lot of time.
From the information received, using a magical artifact to travel there within about twenty-five days is considered very fast.
This world is indeed quite large.
Heqiu Mountain is relatively close to Five Immortals City, but those sects further away would take at least more than two months to reach.
The cultivators in this world often gain nothing from their journeys, spending nearly half a year just on travel time.
If a young person wastes a few times, three to five years could be squandered just like that.
The years between ten and thirty are when a cultivator has the most vigor and highest comprehension.
Though there are those who gain wisdom late, most people need these years to rapidly advance.
After thirty, it’s about accumulation, steady progress.
If one wastes five years of youth, trying to make up for it in their thirties is different mentally; it’s not so easy to make up for it.
Shen Han thought, speculating that maybe Heqiu Mountain wouldn’t have many people.
There was still a long road ahead.
Shen Han sat on the traveling boat, his mind tranquil.
To go from Second Grade to First Grade, one must comprehend the Power of Laws.
Purely refining the body has lost its meaning.
He still had a considerable amount of Spiritual Liquid, and previously, when staying at an inn, Shen Han consumed some more.
He could now endure the excruciating pain brought by the Spiritual Liquid, gritting his teeth and bearing it without any issue.
But the benefits reaped were obviously much less.
One could even say the benefits gained were just a tiny bit.
After stepping into Second Grade, the enhancement from body refining was truly minimal.
It’s better than nothing, getting even a small improvement is something.
During his rest, Shen Han communicated with Shi Yuezhu to check on recent events.
He received bad news.
The whereabouts of Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak had been exposed.
Tiger Peak Manor, in a desperate gamble, offered benefits to enlist the help of various forces in Great Wei to search for them.
As long as the information was found, they or their sect’s people could go to Tiger Peak Manor to train and improve.
This initiative, which didn’t expend many resources, surprisingly yielded results.
"Did you encounter danger?"
Shen Han asked with some nervous concern.
"We discovered the people tracking us, and after realizing we were exposed, we quickly withdrew."
Shi Yuezhu spoke softly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.
As long as Tiger Peak Manor exists, they could only keep hiding.
In his heart, Shen Han’s resolve strengthened several degrees.
"The person who passes information to Tiger Peak Manor must not be allowed to live.
He must pay a price so that they would have reservations and not everyone would come to find us."
Upon hearing this from Shen Han, Shi Yuezhu clearly paused for a moment.
After a long while, she spoke again.
"In the past, you would have let them go."
Indeed, Shi Yuezhu was not wrong at all.
But Shen Han now was no longer as soft-hearted as he once was.
"Through these years of trials, I’ve come to understand a lot.
