Jinyang City!
It was high noon, and the bustling city was filled with people haggling and trading along the streets, creating a lively atmosphere.
At the city gate, a young scholar was bowing to a young man:
"Thank you, Brother Su, for escorting me all the way to Jinyang City."
The young man seemed dazed, as if he hadn't heard the scholar's words.
The scholar thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something and pulled out some scattered silver coins from his sleeve, handing them over.
"Brother Su, here is the escort fee. Please accept it."
"Ah?"
Only then did the young man come to his senses, laughing heartily as he casually took the silver coins, counted them, and confirmed the amount before smiling and saying:
"Good, good, good. Payment received. I wish you a bright future, Brother Li."
The scholar named Li sighed bitterly, as if he had many things to say, but in the end, he only let out a long sigh:
"May your words bring me luck. Farewell."
"Please!"
The young man bowed solemnly, and the scholar turned to leave, blending into the crowd and disappearing from sight.
The young man watched him vanish into the sea of people in Jinyang City, then jingled the silver coins in his hand and sighed softly:
"I escorted him all the way from Sunset City to Jinyang City, feeding both humans and horses, living rough. And for that, I only earned five taels of silver... Sigh, business is tough these days.
"But never mind, everything has a beginning. With this start, perhaps things will get better."
He intended to turn and leave Jinyang City, heading back to Sunset City.
But for some reason, he paused, changed his mind, and entered the vast city, checking into a small inn for temporary rest.
After sending the attendant away, he sat on the bed. With a flicker of thought, a panel appeared before him.
**Escort System**
**Host: Su Mo**
**Escort Agency: Ziyang Escort Agency**
**Mission: Escort Li Yishu to Jinyang City (Completed)**
**Reward: Calculating...**
Su Mo's lips twitched: "The system started calculating as soon as we entered Jinyang City. It took me half a day to find an inn, and it still hasn't finished calculating. This system isn't very efficient."
After grumbling, Su Mo got up and casually opened the window.
He had planned to enjoy the bustling scene on the streets of Jinyang City.
But he forgot that he had booked a room labeled "Earth," which, although private with basic furnishings, did not offer a view of the street. Only rooms labeled "Heaven" provided such a view.
Upon opening the window, he saw the stable behind the inn, and the smell of horse manure mixed with hay wafted in.
Su Mo quickly closed the window and shook his head helplessly.
He then tried to pour himself a cup of tea to soothe his throat, but found the teapot empty.
Putting down the teapot, he picked up a teacup and played with it, his eyes slightly vacant.
He was originally a modern young man who somehow ended up in this martial world.
And not only that, he inherited an escort agency.
The escort agency was called Ziyang Escort Agency, a family legacy passed down for three generations.
His great-grandfather, Su Chengyu, had joined Purple Sun Sect by chance and learned their martial arts.
After mastering them, he used the sect's reputation to establish Ziyang Escort Agency.
This escort agency was no ordinary one. In its heyday, it had a glorious past, respected by both the black and white factions, covering most of the Eastern Wasteland.
Though it wasn't the top escort agency in the Eastern Wasteland, it was certainly one of the largest.
However, those were the glories of the past. The family began to decline.
In short, each generation was worse than the last. By the time it reached Su Mo's father, he died tragically during an escort mission.
Su Mo's mother passed away shortly after her husband's death, leaving Su Mo, still young and inexperienced, with a considerable inheritance that couldn't withstand the squandering of ungrateful relatives.
Moreover, he was weak in martial arts and lazy, ultimately failing to uphold the banner of Ziyang Escort Agency.
As a result, the members dispersed, and the once-grand escort agency was left with only him and a loyal old servant to maintain it.
It was during that moment that Su Mo arrived, taking the place of the original owner and becoming the head of the Ziyang Escort Agency.
Of course, being the head meant nothing more than being a figurehead.
According to Su Mo's original plan, he would use the remaining money in the household to find another way out, relying on his knowledge and abilities as a transmigrator to ensure he could at least have a full meal.
But unexpectedly, a system suddenly appeared.
After a few days of deliberation, Su Mo ultimately decided to take up the flag of the escort agency that had already fallen into disrepair.
On the day he made this decision, the old servant wept with joy, moved by the fact that the young master had finally grown up.
However, Su Mo knew that the path of the jianghu was not an easy one to tread.
With the escort agency's reputation in tatters, reviving it would naturally be no simple task.
Therefore, every day he either diligently practiced the family martial arts or read through the journals left by his ancestors, increasing his knowledge of the jianghu and learning the secret language, quietly waiting for an opportunity.
If a job did come along, he wouldn't be easily beaten down by a few bandits after leaving the city.
Perhaps it was true that effort pays off, as someone actually approached the now-declining Ziyang Escort Agency.
This led to Su Mo's first escort mission.
To protect Li Yishu and escort him to Jinyang City.
...
...
Lost in thought, the sound of knocking interrupted Su Mo.
He got up to ask, only to find that it was a server bringing hot water.
After sending the server away, he brewed himself a pot of hot tea. Just as he was about to take a sip, a voice rang in his ear.
"First settlement completed!"
"Oh!"
Su Mo felt a surge of joy. The jianghu is full of storms and intrigue.
His reliance for future survival in the jianghu was not the half-hearted family martial arts but this golden finger.
Immediately, he put down the teacup and heard another voice.
"Reward obtained: Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, perfected!"
"!!!"
Su Mo's body shook, and before he could react, he felt a surge of inner energy rising from his dantian, flowing continuously and unceasingly through his meridians into his limbs and bones.
At the same instant, a vast amount of text surged forth, revealing the cultivation method of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.
He immediately leaped to the bed, crossed his legs, and began practicing according to the method.
The inner energy, rooted in the dantian, flowed upward through the twelve levels, turning into the twelve main meridians... The sounds of explosions echoed within his body, and his temples throbbed!
After circulating through the twelve main meridians and fully opening the acupoints, the inner energy naturally flowed into the eight extraordinary meridians.
The Ren and Du meridians were the first to be penetrated, flowing through them effortlessly!
For martial artists, the Ren and Du meridians, the bridge between heaven and earth and the gateway between life and death, were instantly opened without any effort!
