Two days later, Yang Lin led Zhao Lin, Zhong Yewu, Xiang Bao, and Li Liang away from Xingyun Mountain, heading northwest toward Yan Province.
To make the journey easier, they had borrowed five fine horses from the sect.
They traveled by day and rested by night, riding for two days until they arrived at the foot of a rolling mountain range.
"Do you think the Director brought us here for a special training session?"
"Doesn't seem like it. We all practice different Cultivation Techniques."
"This kind of training isn't always related to the five elements. Maybe it's about admiring famous mountains and great rivers to broaden our horizons..."
The disciples discussed this among themselves, but Yang Lin pretended not to hear, never revealing the purpose of their journey.
The group of five rested briefly at an inn at the foot of the mountain, stabled their horses, and then proceeded up the mountain on foot.
