Looking at the additional Laws and Profound Mysteries and the fusion on his attribute panel, as well as the fact that his mage level had become Saint-level and his equipment had upgraded to Saint-level, not to mention the new secret technique on his disciple's panel, Zhao Nan couldn't help but nod.

Closing the attribute panel, he moved his body and flew straight into the sky, heading in the direction of the Hanmu Kingdom.

Although Roslet had been gone for a few days, the caravan's speed was naturally slow, and with Roslet intentionally waiting for Zhao Nan, it took less than half a day for Zhao Nan to spot the caravan.

Zhao Nan did not want to expose his strength, so he simply landed on the ground and cast the magic spell Extreme Speed to chase after the caravan.

With the strength of a Level 7 warrior and the enhancement of the Extreme Speed spell, Zhao Nan reached the vicinity of the caravan in less than half an hour.

The guards protecting the caravan naturally sensed the disturbance behind them, stopped in their tracks, and turned their heads to look.

It was Roslet who discovered Zhao Nan first.

Upon realizing it was Zhao Nan, Roslet hurried over to greet him.

Although the noble who had issued the mission only said that Zhao Nan was a Level 5 mage, after the battle with the Wind Wolves, Roslet did not believe for a second that Zhao Nan was merely a Level 5 mage.

Of course, even if Zhao Nan really were just a Level 5 mage, a dual-element Earth and Wind mage would still be enough to earn the respect of a Level 6 warrior like him.

Seeing that Roslet would actually leave the caravan to welcome him, Zhao Nan's lips curled slightly, and he slowed his pace, gradually meeting Roslet halfway.

After the two met, Roslet expressed his gratitude to Zhao Nan for the previous battle and then offered to give two-thirds of the magic cores to him.

Zhao Nan waved his hand casually, declining the magic cores, and only quietly instructed Roslet not to leak information about his strength.

It was true; as a Saint-level powerhouse, Zhao Nan's need for money was no longer high. He wasn't building a faction or doing anything else, so he couldn't spend much money anyway.

He decided to just let the guards have a bit more income.

As for the reason he instructed Roslet, it wasn't that Zhao Nan was afraid of anything, but rather that he felt it was unnecessary.

After all, he had previously only shown Wind-type talent, and now that he could cast Earth-type magic, it would easily attract unwanted attention.

Although Zhao Nan wasn't afraid, it would still be a nuisance.

At this moment, Zhao Nan only wanted to quietly take in disciples and cultivate properly.

While Linley, this person of uncertain destiny, had not yet grown up, and the Yulan Continent was not yet in total chaos, he wanted to cultivate as far as he could.

Although Roslet was a warrior, he was also a man who had seen much of the world, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Zhao Nan's words and immediately indicated that he knew nothing.

While Roslet was curious as to why Zhao Nan wouldn't reveal his strength—which could have earned him better treatment—he wasn't about to be the villain since Zhao Nan didn't want to.

Afterward, the two chatted about the caravan's affairs for a while, and Zhao Nan returned to the carriage to begin his cultivation.

However, this time Zhao Nan did not cultivate his Laws and Profound Mysteries, but instead practiced the Visualization Technique he had created once again.

Zhao Nan wanted to know if his Visualization Technique could still be cultivated now that he had reached the Saint-level.

As Zhao Nan began to control his soul power to outline the Saint-level Magical Beast, he suddenly discovered that although the technique could still be practiced, it was not as effective as he had imagined.

Zhao Nan pondered whether this was because his strength had increased and the technique had reached its limit, or because the Saint-level Magical Beast he was visualizing was now on par with his own level.

Unfortunately, there were not many gods in the current Yulan Continent, which left Zhao Nan to figure it out slowly on his own.

However, Zhao Nan did not give up on the Visualization Technique; although it lacked its previous special efficacy, it was still very effective compared to the natural growth of soul power.

As the caravan traveled along, they encountered quite a few troubles, but they were all resolved by Roslet.

Two and a half months later, the caravan finally arrived at Muhan City, the imperial capital of the Hanmu Kingdom.

After the caravan reached Muhan City, it had reached its final destination. Following a reluctant farewell between Roslet and Zhao Nan, Zhao Nan inquired with the person receiving the goods about the Hyde Clan, one of the Four Ultimate Warriors.

Because the Hyde Clan was one of the Four Ultimate Warriors families and was also skilled in forging weapons, they were quite famous, and the man knew of them.

He immediately provided the address of the Hyde Clan.

After learning the address of the Hyde Clan, Zhao Nan headed toward the destination alone.

The place where the Hyde Clan resided was not far from Muhan City, only a distance of fifty kilometers, at a place called Hyde Ridge.

Upon hearing this name, Zhao Nan had to admit that no matter what world it was, skilled craftsmen would never starve!

After leaving Roslet's caravan, Zhao Nan first found a place to eat, wash up, and rest. It wasn't until the next day that he hired a carriage and headed toward Hyde Ridge.

When they had traveled not far from Hyde Ridge, Zhao Nan discovered that the carriage could no longer move forward; it was blocked.

Zhao Nan had not expected that there would be such a thing as a traffic jam in the Coiling Dragon World.

The carriage driver told Zhao Nan that this was a normal occurrence at Hyde Ridge.

Because the Hyde Clan was skilled at forging weapons and their reputation was famous even throughout the entire Yulan Continent, countless caravans came to Hyde Ridge every day to purchase goods.

Upon learning the reason, Zhao Nan settled the payment with the driver, got out of the carriage, and prepared to walk in alone.

But before Zhao Nan had walked very far, he was stopped by several people carrying weapons on their backs.
