Summary

Li Shi Man converses with Mei Lun, a student from the prestigious Kingdom's Mysterious Academy, about an upcoming gathering of Transcendents organized by a figure known as the Collector. They discuss the importance of using aliases at the gathering, with Mei Lun deciding on "Wind Swordsman." As they approach the gathering location in the lower city, they navigate through a maze before entering a shabby courtyard. Inside, they find a door that leads to a luxurious hall filled with uniquely dressed attendees, indicating a blend of various backgrounds among the Transcendents. The Collector, an elegantly dressed host, begins the gathering by inviting participants to share their needs or items for sale. Mei Lun observes the interactions and eventually bids on a transcendent item, the "Ring of Swiftness," successfully acquiring it for 800 gold coins. After the gathering concludes, Li Shi Man explains the mechanics of the transcendent doors used for entry and exit, and they part ways, with Mei Lun eager to attend the next gathering.
