Finishing with the journal on spiritual qi density, Yang Qing moved on to the rest of the journals under the curiosities section. They seemed to be continuations of Song Quan's earlier expedition in search of mythical creatures. But somewhere along the way, he seemed to have gotten sidetracked, because the entries began to feel less like someone chasing dragons to ride, and more like someone swept away by the rhythm of discovering new places and getting lost in their wonders.
The journals gradually shifted into proper travel logs, and halfway through them, it was clear to Yang Qing that Song Quan had completely forgotten what he was traveling for in the first place.
By the time he reached the third journal, Yang Qing was certain of it—everything from the introductory note onward was just Song Quan raving about how he'd stumbled onto clues leading to an ancient ruin rumored to possess tremendous knowledge in herbology and alchemy.
