After narrowly escaping with his life from the cave in the Mysterious Valley, Li Yunfei was filled with deep emotion. He knew well that although the experience had been fraught with extreme danger, it had also given him a profound understanding and insight into the Path to Immortality. After taking a short rest, he embarked on a new journey, his inner goal growing increasingly resolute—he was determined to walk the Path to Immortality.
Leaving the valley, Li Yunfei traveled all the way until he arrived at an ancient town. The town looked somewhat dilapidated; its city walls, eroded by the passage of time, had become mottled and weathered, yet one could still discern their former glory. The streets within the town were narrow and winding, flanked by sparse shops with very few pedestrians, and the entire town exuded a desolate atmosphere.
Li Yunfei walked into the town, wanting to find a place to inquire about the surrounding area. He came to a humble tavern, where the air was thick with the stale smell of old wine and a faint mildew. The proprietor was a white-haired old man whose eyes revealed the vicissitudes of a life well-traveled. Li Yunfei found a seat in a corner and asked the proprietor for a cup of wine and some food.
