Chapter 112

The next day, early in the morning, Mu Yi and Big Slave arrived at the gate of the Far Ink Professional Organization . When Mu Yi arrived, Mo Ruyan was already there . She looked annoyed because she had been waiting for a while .

There were about thirty carriages there already . They were all filled with goods . There were flags of the Far Ink Professional Organization on all of them . It was rather spectacular sight . There were also a lot of men with broadswords standing around the carriages . They looked powerful and mighty .

There were three more carriages, as well, for people .

“Get on board,” said Mo Ruyan as she pointed to a carriage .

She was wearing black clothes and a black cape . She looked valiant and gave off the aura of a heroic woman .

Mu Yi didn’t hesitate and got into the carriage with Big Slave . The wagon that the Su Clan lent to him, Mu Yi sent back . Even though it was big and made specifically for him and Big Slave, it wasn’t suitable for long trips . The horsekeeper was married and had a family too . Mu Yi was traveling far away . It wasn’t appropriate to make that man follow him .

After Mu Yi got into the carriage Mo Ruyan had prepared for him, he felt that he hadn’t wasted his money . From the outside, the carriages didn’t look good . On the inside, it was completely different .

There was a thick rug inside . It was beautiful and pleasant to walk on . The carriage had looked small from the outside but inside, it wasn’t narrow at all . Even Big Slave could sit properly inside . He couldn’t stand up, but that wasn’t a problem .

There was a big bench which could also be used as a bed . It was probably better just to put something on it . There was a little table next to the window and utensils to make tea . The glass of both windows was colored . They were obviously expensive and there were curtains .

When the curtains were closed, one didn’t feel suffocated by the darkness because some small beams of sunlight filtered through from the top . It still remained dark enough to sleep . Whoever had made the carriage had shown ingenuity . He had wonderful artistic skills .

When they started traveling, Mu Yi felt even better . It wasn’t moving too much inside . It was much better than the wain the Su Clan had lent him .

Big Slave had set his bag next to him to keep it close . He took out the Bamboo Tree of Life with the greatest care and put it in the middle of the carriage . Big Slave stared at Mu Yi with his big eyes . Mu Yi had stretched his legs so his feet were now near the tree .

He stopped looking at Mu Yi when Mu Yi pulled his feet back .

After Mu Yi and Big Slave entered a carriage, Mo Ruyan had walked to the carriage at the very front . She jumped onto a fine, black horse’s back .

“Far Ink Professional Organization, let’s go!” shouted Mo Ruyan waving .

Mo Ruyan was at the front and she galloped quickly . It was a big procession but it wasn’t long before they started moving at full speed . The flags fluttered in the wind .

Everyone knew what it meant when Mo Ruyan was in a convoy .

The convoy drew most of the people’s attention in Qingjiang Prefecture . Many people looked at them with respect . Even though being an armed escort was a dangerous job during troubled times, it was still better to be an armed escort than a starving ordinary family .

What the Far Ink Professional Organization earned for one trip was what an ordinary family needed to live for six months . Many people wanted to work for them . Mo Ruyan was expressionless . She was used to people staring at her when she traveled . Each time she was on a journey, it was the same .

Mu Yi looked out of the window . At the beginning, he was excited as everything passed by but then he got used to it . Once they had left the city, there were only desolate landscapes, so there was nothing to see .

He closed the curtains and glanced at Big Slave . He closed his eyes soon after and started meditating . Mu Yi had read in the hoodlum’s scriptures that the outside world was a big world and the body was a small world . The body changed a lot like the world .

Mu Yi had been in the second difficulty for a month already . His level was stable but he had the impression that there was much more to discover regarding the second difficulty, especially regarding the seven chakras . That was the reason why he hadn’t attempted to progress to the second step of the second difficulty .

He had the impression that the Mūlādhāra wasn’t enough . If he considered that he used lots of blood these days, it wasn’t a good time to level up .

Besides, Mu Yi was already strong enough . If he reached the second step, he wouldn’t become much stronger . It was better for him to understand his current level properly and then try to breakthrough .

They had left early in the morning . He had rested twice already . At noon, they were only a bit more than fifty li away from Qingjiang Prefecture . They slowed down as they went since the horses needed rest .

Armed escorts usually only did sixty li on odd-numbered days . That was a common rule . The carriages were filled with goods . They were obviously heavy . It was even more important for the horses to rest .

Mu Yi smelled some rich herbal aromas as they were traveling . From what the armed escort had said, the carriages were carrying medicinal herbs but they seemed a bit too heavy for that . Mu Yi noticed that something was wrong but he didn’t say anything . He didn’t even come out of the carriage .

Mo Ruyan had prepared three carriages . Mu Yi and Big Slave were in one . One of them was for the businessman in charge of the medicinal herbs . He was in his forties and he only came out of the carraige once .

When the two carriages got close to each other, Mu Yi sensed another person’s Qi . Someone that wasn’t the forty year old man, which meant that there was someone else in the carriage . That person hadn’t come out even once .

The last carriage was a even more mysterious . Mu Yi didn’t sense any Qi coming from it but he saw four tall, sturdy, and stern men around the carriage . They looked strong, stronger than the armed escorts at the front .

In just half a day, Mu Yi noticed quite a few strange things . He had nothing to do with any of it . He just wanted to get to Luoyang safe and sound, as quickly as possible .

At noon, during the lunch break, many of the armed escorts were dumbstruck when they saw how much Big Slave ate . Mu Yi had anticipated that though . Mu Yi also hoped that Big Slave would eat a lot, he had spent one thousand Liang of gold after all .

Mu Yi didn’t act like a young man of his age . He seemed much older to people .
