A month later, in a certain market.
A young boy rented a secluded house in the east of the city, going out early and returning late. Occasionally, he would wander around the market and then return home after buying some daily necessities from the mortal market.
He lived a reclusive life.
This was a small, unnamed town in the remote district of Sanshui County. Local villagers and hunters, with some rudimentary martial arts skills, would gather here to trade after hunting demon beasts or collecting rare spirit medicines from the Vast Mountains.
Because the area was abundant in a type of medicinal herb called the White Sunflower, which is an essential ingredient in a certain elixir.
Due to its geographical location, the once-unknown town gradually developed.
Perhaps because it was near the Vast Mountains, loose cultivator martial artists often came to hunt demon beasts or explore.
Hence, the small city gradually prospered.
