Winter gave way to spring, and a new year began.
Zhao Lin didn't have to return to the small world to visit family this year. He celebrated the New Year at his home on Cuiwei Peak, reuniting with his mother and his brother's family.
After staying home for a few days, on the fifth day of the new year, he set off for Dongfu County.
A Spiritual Vessel was moored at a mountain pass on the northern slope of Songyu Peak.
The vessel was loaded with dozens of types of cultivation supplies, including Spirit Tea, medicinal pills, Spirit Rice, Dharma Robes, talismans, and magical treasures.
Lu Yuanxiu had allocated a special fund for the store's start-up capital, and the supplies on the vessel had been purchased with these funds.
Zhou Hongfang had requisitioned a Spiritual Vessel from the county to transport the goods for Zhao Lin.
The sky was just beginning to brighten when Zhao Lin and Li Sancai met at the appointed location and hurried to Songyu Peak together.
