Summary

Jiang Xun embarks on a training journey from Qing Xuan Holy Land to Eastern Wilderness Holy City, but instead of following his planned route, he enters the Tianqi Mountain Range with a specific goal in mind. His Senior Sister, Wei Chi Chun Lei, observes him with curiosity, suspecting he may have discovered an opportunity.
