Xu Qingtong's heart stirred at Lu Gui'nian's words. Although the Fire Clan was remote, Xu Qingtong had been there before, and he had even set up an Anchor Point nearby.
"City Lord, I'll pose as a merchant from the Fire Clan and slip into Hagen City!"
Lu Gui'nian nodded, turned his right hand over, and took out several stalks of medicinal herbs, which he handed to Xu Qingtong.
"This is crimson jiang grass. After you consume it, your entire body will turn crimson, making you look like a member of the Fire Clan. One stalk lasts two months, and here are five stalks. So you can spend no more than ten months in Hagen City!"
Xu Qingtong accepted them, bowed, and cupped his fist. "Thank you, City Lord!"
"Be extremely careful. Good luck!"
Xu Qingtong bid Lu Gui'nian farewell, left Hanshui City, and flew west.
After flying for just under half an hour, he reached a deserted spot. Xu Qingtong took out the Space Stone, imprinted the Anchor Point information for the Banga Fort Junction into it, then channeled his magic power into the stone.
Xu Qingtong's figure immediately vanished. Moments later, space rippled at the Banga Fort Junction, and a figure appeared.
Xu Qingtong shook his head to dispel the discomfort of teleportation, then spread his divine sense to check his surroundings.
After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Xu Qingtong flew unhurriedly toward the Fire Clan.
"Halt! Who are you? What business do you have with the Fire Clan?"
"I'm from Kangse City, here to trade with the Fire Clan. I'd like to buy some flame essence. Is your Clan Chief here?"
The guard gave Xu Qingtong several surprised looks, then said, "Wait here while I announce you!" With that, he turned and headed into the clan grounds.
