In the evening, Elder Zheng returned to Qiandao City, and several Taoist friends with whom he had a good relationship came to bid him farewell.
During the gathering, everyone was filled with emotion, some felt pity for Elder Zheng, while others, unable to bear his departure, invited him to join their family sects as a Guest Elder.
Elder Zheng politely declined each invitation.
After the banquet, they bid each other farewell.
Elder Zheng then returned to his residence, closed his eyes, and took a moment to rest.
When the hour arrived, he packed all treasures, formation books, and formation diagrams, and left the abode he had lived in for decades without looking back, heading out of the city.
Riding in a carriage, he left the city, and about two hours later, arrived at the Cloud Ferry at the state boundary of Qianxue.
Boarding the Cloud Ferry, with three transfers along the way, he'll reach Zhen State in about a month.
