Lu Sheng arrived at a nearby village.
After several hours of study and observation, Lu Sheng learned the name of this village.
It is called Wangjia Village.
It is a small mountain village belonging to the Great Qin Dynasty, but fortunately, it is nestled against mountains and water, capable of self-sufficiency.
Life is relatively peaceful.
"Hello, I’m a refugee. Could I find a place to settle down here?"
Lu Sheng presented himself as a destitute Martial Artist fleeing hardship. After all, in a feudal dynasty like the Great Qin Dynasty, such circumstances are not particularly rare.
Therefore, Lu Sheng’s words did not alert these villagers, especially since they were removed from the city, nestled against mountains and water. The villagers here are exceedingly pure and simple and, upon seeing Lu Sheng’s weathered appearance, believed his story.
Several villagers of Wangjia Village led Lu Sheng to the village chief and informed him of Lu Sheng’s intentions.
Although the village chief was over fifty years old, Lu Sheng could see the taut muscles on the chief’s body and immediately discern his strength.
"I didn’t expect a village chief of Wangjia Village to have physical strength comparable to Martial Artists with Qi Blood around seventy or eighty cards."
Lu Sheng felt slightly surprised.
At this moment, the village chief, explained by the villagers, began to scrutinize Lu Sheng. After a while, the village chief spoke calmly.
"Have you trained in martial arts?"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly and nodded.
"I still have some strength left."
Upon hearing this, the village chief did not say much more.
"Since you’ve come so far to our Wangjia Village escaping hardship, you must indeed have some resilience. How about becoming a Martial Arts Instructor at our martial arts school here?"
Lu Sheng nodded, as this preliminary idea coincided with his own, after all, without adopting the identity of a commoner, it would be challenging to access anything within Wangjia Village.
If he could be a Martial Arts Instructor, he’d be able to reach more information, thus better understanding this world.
Hence, Lu Sheng settled down in Wangjia Village with the identity of a Martial Arts Instructor.
As time flew by, in the blink of an eye, Lu Sheng held the position of Martial Arts Instructor in Wangjia Village for a month, during which he became well acquainted with most of the villagers.
Of course, with Lu Sheng’s skills, the children of Wangjia Village improved rapidly under his guidance.
Even though the cultivation system of Transcendents and Martial Artists in the world of the Great Qin Dynasty is somewhat different, merely strengthening one’s body is extremely easy for Lu Sheng.
Besides, Lu Sheng gradually tested the strength of the sky curtain, preparing to restore the strength of his current identity.
Through a month of observation, Lu Sheng noticed that even though the sky curtain in this world imposes great restrictions on martial arts, if Lu Sheng forcibly deduces, he can still restore some strength.
As such, within this month, Lu Sheng elevated the strength of his current avatar to the third tier.
"Third-tier strength is not strong, but in the Great Qin Dynasty, it’s more than enough for self-preservation, provided that... no encounters with the demons of this world!"
A faint gleam flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
The reason a refuge like Wangjia Village has a martial arts school, and even the young children undergo training, is because demons threaten the life and safety of the world’s beings.
Only by practicing martial arts, becoming stronger, can one have some power of self-preservation.
The excuse Lu Sheng used for fleeing in the Great Qin Dynasty largely stems from demon attacks, forcing people to leave their hometowns and seek refuge elsewhere.
"Instructor Lu, another caravan has arrived today!"
"Do you need to buy anything?"
As Lu Sheng pondered, a child’s voice suddenly came from outside the dilapidated martial arts school.
Lu Sheng gradually regained his composure.
A faint gleam flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes, and at this moment, the corners of his mouth gently lifted.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, caravans are extremely important to every small mountain village.
Even though Wangjia Village can sustain itself nestled against mountains and water, goods such as salt and sugar must still be purchased from these caravans.
Otherwise, they must traverse mountains and waters to reach farther cities.
Thus, villagers become quite excited each time a caravan passes through. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel fire.net
First, they can purchase adequate supplies, and second, the children in the village can use the caravan’s arrival to buy their favorite candies and some curious little trinkets.
But... what is significant to Lu Sheng is not these materials, it’s the Martial Artists accompanying the caravan!
To connect with this world and gather more information, one must engage with the world’s strong men to learn more about the things they want to know.
And Martial Artists... are the strong men of this world.
To traverse a world filled with demons from city to city, through countless villages, caravans are naturally staffed with formidable Martial Artists.
