Luo Hongyi hugged the books to her chest, her eyes shining brighter and brighter.

A road had to be walked one step at a time, just as a meal had to be eaten one bite at a time.
This was certainly not something she could accomplish alone in a fit of hotheaded enthusiasm. She would have to return to Undying Mountain and discuss a long-term plan with Daoist Brother Si Chen, Xie Changsheng, and Zhou Yan.

"You bet I did!"
