Ch. 22 - Journey to Zhao State

After Zhang Jingmo obtained Zhu Yan, he flew hundreds of miles and walked non-stop for a day and night before finding a cave and starting to refine Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan is a spiritual creature in the mountains and is naturally wild and difficult to tame. Although Zhang Jingmo has subdued him, if he does not consolidate his magic, he may be backlashed by Zhu Yan.

After Zhu Yan was subdued by Zhang Jingmo, he lost his fiery red color and turned into a little bird with gray feathers. Except for his lively eyes, there was no difference between him and an ordinary pet.

Zhang Jingmo sat down cross-legged in the cave and activated the magic technique.

Zhu Yan curiously jumped around Zhang Jingmo, jumping on Zhang Jingmo's head from time to time, and from time to time he leaned forward to peck Zhang Jingmo's long eyelashes.

Zhang Jingmo was so harassed, but he remained motionless. He didn't open his eyes until he used his spiritual energy to completely consolidate the spell.

It has been half a month since Zhang Jingmo left Pingrui Prefecture.

After Zhang Jingmo opened his eyes, he did not see Zhu Yan. He was not in a hurry and just shouted softly. Within a moment, he saw a red light that looked like a flame flying towards him. When he looked carefully, he saw that the red light was actually an ordinary-looking bird.

Zhang Jingmo saw Zhu Yan flying back, stretched out his fingers to catch it, and said with a smile: "You are so greedy." He could no longer feel the anger of the animals in the forest.

Zhu Yan chirped twice and jumped from Zhang Jingmo's finger to his shoulder. It was out of sorts, like a child that hadn't grown up yet.

Zhang Jingmo looked at Zhu Yan and somehow remembered Lu Guijiu who was still practicing hard in the Lingxu Sect. He also didn't know what Lu Guijiu had grown into after two years.

It stands to reason that Zhang Jingmo should have returned to Lingxu Sect after acquiring Zhu Yan, but the main purpose of his trip at this time was not the cute little bird in his hand.

Zhang Jingmo said softly to Zhu Yan, "Let's go." Then he took a spell and headed outside the pass.

There are four main countries on this continent, the most powerful of which is the Zhao State controlled by the Gu family. This Zhao State is vast and has many famous cultivation sects.

Zhang Jingmo's destination for this trip was within the Kingdom of Zhao.

After flying for several days, Zhang Jingmo arrived at the border of Zhao State. After he arrived at the border, he no longer walked against the wind. Instead, he changed into old clothes, rented a slow donkey, and started walking carelessly.

It would probably take several years to ride a donkey with this distance across the State of Zhao. But Zhang Jingmo was not in a hurry at all and just embarked on the journey leisurely.

The land of Zhao State is vast and the border is almost deserted. After Zhang Jingmo entered the small border town, he found a restaurant and planned to buy some food and wine.

The hotel was incompatible with the desolation of the border, and the furnishings were all exquisite. When the waiter saw Zhang Jingmo coming, he did not show a trace of disdain. Instead, he was very attentive and asked Zhang Jingmo what he wanted.

Zhang Jingmo ordered a few dishes at random and ordered a pot of good wine.

The waiter agreed and quickly served the food ordered by Zhang Jingmo.
