"But given the sect master's circumstances, it seemed unlikely that he could keep things hidden and avoid being discovered."
Song Yan mulled it over.
But guessing alone would never give him a clear answer. He would go and see for himself first.
The map the steward had given him was exceptionally well made, with comprehensive annotations that naturally included the teleportation formations established by the Great Tang Government.
Unfortunately, judging by the map, those formations did not cover many locations.
With Great Tang so prosperous, surely it could afford to build a few teleportation formations. Perhaps there were other considerations.
Fortunately, Wushang did indeed have an official teleportation formation. Unfortunately, it could not take him to Shanzhou.
For now, Song Yan planned to teleport to the city closest to Shanzhou, then find another way there or simply spend more time flying the rest of the way.
He was not in any particular hurry, anyway.
The next day, Song Yan first visited the Market Ward near Wushang. He browsed briefly without buying anything, then wandered back.
Wushang's Market Ward could hardly be called a market ward anymore. Black market would have been more appropriate.
That was because everything an ordinary cultivator needed could be found in the Myriad Treasures Thoroughfare.
There were more choices, a fuller range of goods, and most importantly, the Spirit Stone cost was even slightly lower.
With that being the case, who would still want to shop at the Market Ward?
Over time, the Market Ward here had lost its original function.
Song Yan had already intended to visit the Myriad Treasures Thoroughfare. Yesterday, he had been so occupied with asking directions that he had not had time to look around inside. Naturally, he would go today.
And so he headed straight to the main street.
