One hour later, he arrived at the base of Shennong Peak.
Surrounded by a forest of stone and a sea of green bamboo, the area was full of jagged rocks hidden in thick fog. The dim light made it look like an evil spirit realm.
Upon reaching this place, even Mr. Lu became cautious, raising a lantern that flickered with a ghostly green flame after being lit.
The lantern, styled like a bamboo "Fire Wheel" lamp, was common in Chang'an City's lantern festival, yet it was draped with white paper.
Strangely, the paper had a divine image painted on it: an upper-body middle-aged man with white beard and black eyebrows, dressed in black, with huge chicken claw feet, resembling the Ghost Sect's Demon God, Ran Tong.
Ran Tong's teachings were the "Tongyou Longevity Technique," skilled in manipulating various ghosts and knowing the art of transformation to steal incense.
This lantern was clearly some form of a magic artifact.
