Early the next morning, Mr. Zhang led Wang Lan to the location. Mr. Zhang only knew the exact location from his master and had never been there himself.
The secret's location was guarded by a mnemonic, and the method to decipher this mnemonic required another set of esoteric formulas. This ensured that only the Sect Master, the inheritor of the White Lotus Sect's legacy, knew of the secret.
They wandered in the mountains for an entire day; this speed was only achieved because Wang Lan used his superior mobility to move them quickly. If it had been Mr. Zhang alone, it might have taken him three days to find this location.
Finally, Wang Lan followed Mr. Zhang to a cave. The cave was winding, and the continuous dripping of water echoed in their ears. Wang Lan ignited the True Sunfire. Even a tiny flicker of this flame was enough to illuminate the entire cave.
