Chen Lin's figure flashed, and he appeared on an old-fashioned street.
Chu Qingli was standing beside the street.
"Let's complete the departure mission first, then exchange for the treasure."
Chen Lin glanced around as he spoke.
Chu Qingli had expected this. She nodded and said, "Then I'll take you there, Fellow Daoist Chen."
With that, she turned and headed down the street.
Chen Lin followed close behind.
As he walked, he studied the shops on either side of the street and the people passing by.
The architecture here suited cultivators' tastes, and quite a few of the Nightmare Realm creatures coming and going had human forms.
Some shop signs were even written in ancient cultivator text.
There was even Taixu script!
Although Chu Qingli and the old cultivator had already told him about this, Chen Lin was still somewhat surprised.
If he was right, the place projected here was a gathering place for cultivators. However, Chu Qingli only had a Silver Grade Level Two Road Guide and could not examine the entire scenario, so her knowledge was far from complete.
The two continued along the street until they reached the entrance of a massive building.
"This is the Prefecture Office. Brother Chen, you just need to take down the notice on the wall."
Chu Qingli pointed at the blue-brick wall beside the gate, where numerous bounty notices were posted.
Chen Lin approached and examined them one by one.
Most were wanted notices for dangerous criminals, though a few offered unusual tasks.
One of them was to find a medicinal herb.
Completing it would grant the status of Honored Resident, which fulfilled this scenario's departure mission.
There was no need to search for the herb personally, either. A shop here sold it, though the price was steep: one hundred Nightmare Coins
