Lu Chuan rode on a mule, his face the picture of leisure, as he made his way into the mountains.
He fiddled with the wooden carving that resembled a parrot in his hand; since it couldn't be stored inside the Demon Suppression Pagoda, he'd simply taken to treating it as a toy, occasionally playing with it when there was nothing else to do.
Grand Elder Huang Quan had said that inside the carving a thread of Divine Soul was sealed, which held mastery over a Divine Skill, but despite trying many methods, Lu Chuan had been unable to obtain this Divine Skill. He had asked Huang Quan as Yin Changsheng, and even the Grand Elder expressed ignorance about how to acquire it; after all, if he truly knew the method, the carving wouldn't have remained until now.
Lu Chuan was currently on the road to the Profound Sect.
