A mountain of five-v 운 coins had bought him a job as a coachman. Even Lu Yin felt he'd disgraced himself. Fortunately, he'd managed to join the Mu King's Mansion Convoy. All he had to do was travel with them to Ming Capital.

Being a coachman was a challenging job, or at least Lu Yin thought so.

He had been at Mu King's Mansion for two days. The convoy had finished assembling yesterday afternoon, and now a line of carriages stretching for several miles was carrying countless goods toward Ming Capital. Soldiers from Shanhai City and private troops from Mu King's Mansion marched along either side, while a thousand or so experts hired by the mansion traveled farther out. Nearly all of them were Martial King Realm experts.

Lu Yin couldn't understand how Shenwu Continent could produce so many experts. Even if they all used Martial Crystals, there wouldn't be enough to train so many Martial King Realm experts. Even the Great Yu Empire, which encompassed thirteen territories and countless planets, couldn't casually gather a thousand Extreme Realm cultivators to train freely. The only explanation was the speed at which Martial Force could be absorbed. Perhaps the people native to Shenwu Continent absorbed Martial Force drifting through the void much faster than outsiders like them.

As he pondered this, he noticed the carriage veering slightly and raised his whip. The carriage straightened out. For the past two days, he'd been getting to know this horse. At first, it had been difficult to control, and he'd had to use Martial Force to force it into line. But gradually, he'd realized the horse wasn't hard to handle at all. It was actually quite fun. Since he couldn't cultivate at Mu King's Mansion anyway, he'd decided to truly treat himself as a coachman.
