Story context
Welcome back, fellow Daoists! This chapter is the classic "Trade Meet Interlude" with a side of heavy worldbuilding seasoning. Our cautious protagonist, Han Li, decides to fly solo from the fledgling "rogue cultivator squad" he met last time, a decision that lets our inner paranoid veteran breathe a sigh of relief. The core of the chapter is a critical lore dump about the structured, Darwinist world of immortal cultivation, delivered through overheard conversations and the appearance of a truly terrifying mount. It’s not an action chapter, but it's a vital one that sets the stage for a major upcoming event. Get ready for some deep lore on spiritual roots and the brutal hierarchy of talent that defines the entire cultivation world!
Why it matters
This chapter is a tutorial, but an important one. Pay close attention to the hierarchy of Spiritual Roots. It’s not just flavor text; it’s the fundamental *physics* of the world’s power structure and social conflict.
