As the handkerchief’s glow reached a certain limit, with a “poof,” waves of white clouds gushed out from the white handkerchief, swirling around it without dispersing.

In a few breaths, a white cloud the size of a house emerged, gently bobbing up and down in mid-air, like a piece of wood floating in water.

Shen Luo was amazed by these rapid changes.

With a casual wave of his hand from the Daoist Luo, the white cloud immediately flew down and hovered in front of the two.

“Let’s go.” He stepped on it and stood firmly.

Looking at the hazy cloud, Shen Luo gritted his teeth and also leaped onto it.

The cloud appeared to be filled with fog, but when stepped on, it had a force that lifted a person up, giving the feeling of standing on solid ground.

The white cloud carried the weight of both individuals without even a hint of a sway.

Shen Luo relieved his breath, reached out to touch the cloud, and it felt like a cool patch of cotton, something he could not grasp with his hand.

“Master Luo, what kind of treasure is this?” he couldn’t help but ask, growing more and more amazed.

“This is the Water Cloud Pouch, a talismanic instrument I use for travel. Stand steady,” the Daoist Luo said casually, and began to manipulate the cloud.

The white cloud shook lightly, then drifted in a distant direction, constantly rising in height.

The cloud started off quite slowly, but its speed gradually increased, eventually reaching several times that of a galloping horse, racing forward.

Now, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, it was very bright. The Spring and Autumn Pavilion below quickly reduced in size, soon becoming the size of a fist, and the entire Qinghua Mountain also quickly reduced, turning into a low mound of soil.

Shen Luo had never been so high before, his legs felt weak, and with the strong wind hitting his face, he could hardly breathe or even open his eyes. He quickly retracted his gaze and sat down cross-legged.

After a while, his feelings slowly stabilized, he gradually got used to the speed, and when he looked around again, he was no longer so shaky. Instead, he started to feel a sense of excitement.

The sky above him was a vast starry night, below him was the vast earth. Flying between heaven and earth, wasn’t that what he always longed for?

“This is the true path of cultivating immortality! One day, I, Shen Luo, will use my own strength to travel between heaven and earth like this!” Looking at the vast heaven and earth, Shen Luo clenched his fists, making a silent oath.

Daoist Luo saw Shen Luo’s expressions, and with his experience, naturally guessed what Shen Luo was thinking. He didn’t say any words of encouragement, and quickly looked away.

In his view, Shen Luo was mediocre and short-lived and not likely to achieve anything. This time, he brought him out to broaden his horizons, considering this as his final act of kindness.

With these thoughts in mind, Daoist Luo silently operated his mana, urging the Water Cloud Pouch to speed up.

Two hours later, the sky began to brighten, and the outline of a city gradually became clear in front of them.

Shen Luo’s eyes brightened a bit, recognizing it as his hometown, Chunhua County Town.

He had learned from Daoist Luo on the road that their destination was a town near Chunhua County called Baihe Town.

Looking at the city getting closer and closer, he couldn’t help but marvel in his heart.

From Spring and Autumn Pavilion to Chunhua County, even for a fast horse it usually takes about a day to get there. Now it only takes a short time, and judging from Daoist Luo’s nonchalant manner, it seemed like he hadn’t yet exerted his full effort.

If he had a talismanic instrument like the Water Cloud Pouch, traveling would be so convenient!

Daoist Luo drove the Water Cloud Pouch directly towards the northeast direction of the County Town, and soon reached a town by the river.

This was Baihe Town, named after the Bailian River outside the town. It was famous for its fabric dyeing within a hundred miles. Shen Luo had heard of it, but had never been there.

So as not to cause a commotion, Daoist Luo landed down in an uninhabited place outside Baihe Town and entered the town on foot with Shen Luo.

Baihe Town was several times bigger and more prosperous than the small town where Shen Luo had stayed outside Song Fan County. There were various shops lined up, especially fabric shops.

Near the river, there was a row of dyeing workshops, with dozens of them.

At this moment, although it was early in the morning, the shops on the street had already opened their doors, and the fabric workers in the riverside workshops had already started their work. Rolls of fabric and silk were hung up, fluttering in the wind, like countless fluttering flags, which was spectacular.

The two of them asked around and quickly came to a high gate courtyard in the town. Even through the courtyard wall, you could see the high-rise pavilions inside. The crimson gate of the courtyard was tightly closed, and the plaque hanging at the entrance read “Ma Mansion” in gold lacquer.

This was their destination, the home of a Ma surname cloth merchant in Baihe Town.

Looking at the high gate courtyard in front of him, Shen Luo had a feeling in his heart.

The morning sun rose, casting its bright brilliance, bringing everything back to life.

However, the mansion in front of him still gave him a gloomy feeling, as if the area around the mansion was covered with an invisible fog, so much so that the sunlight couldn’t shine here.

“Sure enough, there is ghostly Qi.” Shen Luo muttered to himself, feeling slightly smug at the same time.

But after glancing a few times, he quickly lowered his head to avoid getting noticed by Daoist Luo.

Presently, Daoist Luo was carefully observing the Ma Mansion in front of him. Obviously, he had also noticed the anomalies here, but his expression remained the same, seemingly quite used to it.

“Go and knock on the door.” After a moment, said Daoist Luo casually, then turned his back to the mansion, gazing into the distance.

Following the command, Shen Luo stepped forward and hit the copper ring on the door.

After knocking for a while, the big gate finally creaked open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe and hat with sleepy eyes came out.

“Hmph! Early in the morning and we have two beggars come by. These few days we have things going on in the mansion, if you want alms go somewhere else. Leave, now!” The middle-aged man glanced disdainfully at the two of them and reprimanded impatiently.

Shen Luo was new to this place and was originally planning to negotiate politely for Master Luo. However, this man’s words were disrespectful and he looked at people disdainfully through the corner of his eyes, which annoyed him. He immediately shouted angrily:

“You insolent servant, are you blind? This man here is Daoist Luo from Spring and Autumn Pavilion, invited by your master, Official Ma. Hurry up and report this matter, if you delay the time, be careful of your legs being broken!”

Upon hearing these words, the middle-aged man shuddered, and his sleepiness was instantly half gone.

He looked at the old and younger pair again, quickly changed his expression, apologizing while bowing and nodding, then he half-closed the door and quickly ran back to the mansion.

Not long after, the mansion gate reopened, and a potbellied wealthy-looking middle-aged man came out quickly, accompanied by a housekeeper-like old man in a green robe.

This man was in his forties, wearing a brown wisp hat, and a wide robe of silk. With a round face and small eyes, his eyes flickered with a shrewd light.

“Are the two of you the immortals from the Spring and Autumn Pavilion? My subordinate was rude and did not welcome you properly, please forgive us.” The middle-aged man saw that Daoist Luo was still standing sideways with his hands behind his back, he quickly bowed his hands in courtesy to Shen Luo, his attitude was exceptionally respectful.
