They traveled for a whole day before changing direction, going south, then west. Upon reaching a village, they would find a caravan looking for extra protection and take passage with them. There were only a few times when no caravan was available to join.
Not having to walk was a blessing. During the times when they rode with a caravan, Wu Jian would take a Low-Grade Chi Gathering Pill and cultivate. After consuming half the Chi Gathering Pills in his possession, he was able to ascend from the Fourth to the Fifth Subrealm of the Anima Realm.
Even Huǒ Shuchang was able to ascend another subrealm, going from the First to the Second Subrealm of the Asura Realm. His cultivation was much slower than Wu Jian’s. Cultivation became more difficult the higher someone ascended.
Thanks to their met
