Night.
The lamplight flickered.
Chen Jichuan and his younger brother Chen Shaohu, separated for three years, reunited with endless topics to discuss.
About cultivation.
About alchemy.
About the Martial Alliance.
About Great Chu.
Having been apart for so long, there was much to talk about.
Great Chu remained in chaos, its counties fragmented, with various forces vying and fighting incessantly.
The Martial Alliance was entrenched in Shi'an County, facing threats from forces like Iron Leaf Island, Biqing Cliff, the Wenyang Zhou Family, and the Five Immortals Sect, making outward expansion difficult.
Chen Jichuan cared little about these matters.
He had spent three years in Panlong Mountain, elevating his insights rapidly, and gaining a deeper understanding of the "Spiritual Energy Tide."
"Great Chu is rather remote."
