The next day, Yu Xuan woke up feeling refreshed. After a bath and a change into crisp, clean robes, he glanced around his modest room one last time.
Today, he would return to the Main Peak — this was a quiet farewell.
He descended the stairs to the inn's reception area, where the familiar purple skinned, bald disciple with a massive build was once again hunched over the same book: Philosophy of Cosmic Balance and Constructs: Volume VI.
Yu Xuan briefly wondered if there even was a Volume VII.
He didn't linger.
After a simple breakfast, an egg dish, well seasoned and satisfying he left town behind.
The journey to the Main Peak would take about ten hours on foot, but he didn't mind. With his cultivation at the 7th layer of Qi Condensation, travel had become significantly easier. He even jogged lightly along the path, enjoying the morning air.
