Returning to his cave dwelling, Li Shiming cultivated while organizing all his travel notes.
The travel notes did not mention the Stepping Cloud Jade Token, and he could not ask a cultivator about it. If he did, he would surely arouse suspicion.
The Stepping Cloud Jade Token, closely guarded by a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, would bring immense trouble if any news of it leaked.
In this unfamiliar land, without a firm backing, he dared not recklessly invite trouble.
Ten days later, he received a message from Wang Fan. The gathering would be held three days from now at a pavilion near the mountaintop.
Time passed swiftly. Three days later, Li Shiming arrived at the pavilion to find seven late-stage Golden Core cultivators already present.
"Master Li!"
"Master Li!"
The two greetings sounded almost simultaneously, one naturally from Wang Fan, the other from Baodan Pavilion's Yu An.
