The autumn mood gradually deepens, and the fleet undulates and shuttles back and forth.
Dragon people, Martial Hall Disciples, Fishing Tax Office officials, local guides, large families, Alchemy Grandmasters, river otters, monkeys... The number of people and animals on board increases, with all parties mixed together—males, females, and beasts—numbering in the thousands.
During this time, there were even alchemists from all over the country who heard about Fu Shuo and others delving into alchemy here, traveling thousands of miles to Yu State, requesting a meeting and some guidance.
Even Elder Weng of the Weng Family in Pingyang Prefecture sought connections to find a way in, hoping to meet the esteemed Fu Shuo. It was enough for them to just listen, as if whatever Fu Shuo said were words of wisdom, which, once heard, could instantly advance one's alchemy skills.
Liang Qu had never encountered such treatment.
