Five days later.
Lu Mian woke, yawned, and summoned the system.
Name: Lu Mian Remaining lifespan: 200 Talent: Ten Thousand Ghost Furnace Origin power: 0 Weird Supernatural Abilities: Starved Ghost·Spirit-Swallowing Stomach, Bookman·Literary Heart Carving Dragon, Weird Tree: Hanging Life....
Since breaking through to the third realm: foundation establishment, his lifespan had increased dramatically again, reaching two hundred years.
But he had spent these past days cultivating hard to avenge Songfengzi. He had encountered no unusual evil spirits or weird beings, so he had gained no new weird Supernatural Abilities.
After a glance, Lu Mian closed the panel and stepped out of the wooden hut.
The thin morning mist had yet to disperse, and he saw a figure faintly emerging within it.
"Good morning, Eldest Martial Uncle."
Lu Mian walked up to Songmingzi and greeted him.
Instead, Songmingzi handed Lu Mian a letter and a jade pendant.
"I've already spoken with Qi Jiulian. You'll become the head of the Taiwu Commandery Daoist Grounds."
"The former head of the Taiwu Commandery Daoist Grounds will stay on as your deputy."
"This letter was written by Qi Jiulian himself. Keep it and this jade pendant safe-the pendant serves as your token."
Lu Mian put away the envelope and jade token, then thanked him. "Thank you, Eldest Martial Uncle."
Songmingzi waved a hand. "Lu Mian, the Daoist grounds in Martial Might Commandery City have been out of contact with the Sunflame Ancestral Court for a long time."
"We don't know exactly what things are like there."
"So once you arrive, use your own judgment."
"And here's a map I drew from my memories. It marks the location of that Broken Secret Realm."
"But so many years have passed, and the world has changed. I don't know whether the terrain is still the same."
