In Bafang City.

At Xuanning Gate.

Tomorrow we'll be leaving, so today we need to sign up in advance.

To avoid drawing attention, Lin Zheyu changed his appearance.

At this moment, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man who would be hard to spot in a crowd.

This appearance is something Lin Zheyu crafted after many attempts in front of a bronze mirror.

Through subtle adjustments, transforming his somewhat handsome face into the look of an unremarkable middle-aged man required quite an effort.

Nearing Xuanning Gate, Lin Zheyu quickly spotted the team preparing to depart for the Central Plains.

A burly man with a full beard was holding a wooden board with two big lines written on it: 'Guangxuan Escort Agency' and 'Sign-up Point for Central Plains.'

Organizing this journey is the well-known Guangxuan Escort Agency from Bafang City.

Guangxuan Escort Agency has been handed down for four generations, and although it's not the best, it has a good reputation and is trusted by many.

Initially, Jia Yanrong and others helped Lin Zheyu inquire several times, but feeling that the organizations were unreliable, they didn't mention them.

It wasn't until they heard about this journey by Guangxuan Escort Agency that they informed him.

"Hello there, how do I sign up to go to the Central Plains?"

Lin Zheyu stepped forward and curiously asked.

"Just pay the silver taels and register your name."

The burly man replied with a smile.

His tone was honest, giving a feeling of trustworthiness with no hidden agenda.

"Okay, may I know how much silver taels are needed?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"You can just inquire over there." the man replied.

Lin Zheyu thanked the burly man and walked to a nearby stall.

Managing the stall was a young man.

Beside the young man was a woman with a nice figure and a refined face, exuding an air of heroism.

The woman looked very beautiful, with a captivating charm that was equal to Ren Qingying and Xu Yuxiang.

Lin Zheyu glanced at the two and quickly assessed their strength.

The young man was at the peak of Bone Forging Realm, while the woman's strength was commendable, having just recently broken through the Qi Blood Realm with somewhat unstable Qi Blood.

Judging by her age, around eighteen, possessing such strength indicates an exceptional talent.

"Hello, may I ask how much silver taels are required to sign up for the Central Plains?" Lin Zheyu inquired.

"The sign-up fee is one hundred silver taels, and along the journey, we only provide guidance."

"If you want your safety ensured along the way, an additional payment of four hundred silver pieces is required."

"Food, animals for the journey, accommodations, etc., you have to manage yourself, but you can also purchase from us, costing an additional hundred silver pieces."

The young man responded indifferently.

The heroic beauty gave Lin Zheyu a brief glance, seeing he was just a nondescript middle-aged man, and then ignored him.

"The price is really steep."

Lin Zheyu silently grumbled.

Charging one hundred silver taels for a trip is already quite expensive; if you opt for all services, the total would reach seven hundred silver taels.

It's truly a lucrative business.

"I don't have much silver, just need guidance, please."

Lin Zheyu took out ten gold pieces from his pocket and handed them over.

Given his strength, he's already one of the top in Bafang City, not needing others for protection.

Regarding food, animals for the journey, etc., buying a bullock cart won't cost much silver.

"Name."

Upon hearing this, the young man glanced at Lin Zheyu and asked flatly.

"Zhao Hao."

Lin Zheyu casually gave a fake name.

"Alright, this is your jade plaque, keep it safe, if lost, you need to purchase another one."

"We'll gather outside Xuanning Gate at dawn tomorrow, don't be late." the young man said lightly.

"Alright, thank you."

Lin Zheyu received the jade plaque.

This was a special jade plaque, very cheap, probably worth a little over a hundred wen.

It bears specific anti-counterfeit marks that require skilled craftsmen to replicate.

But the young man would remember all those signed up, making it impossible to forge entry.

"Another pauper."

The young man muttered softly, watching Lin Zheyu's back as he left.

Soon after, more people came one after another to sign up.

After registering, Lin Zheyu left directly.

He needed to purchase some Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup materials.

During the journey, he can brew it into a decoction and consume it after breaking through limits to accelerate body recovery.

If encountering a hazardous situation, after consuming the Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup, Source Power could be used for recovery.

Besides the Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup ingredients, he prepared lots of Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder and BBQ seasoning.

Recently, through hunting, he earned quite a sum.

After purchasing thirty servings of Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup materials and ten servings of Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder, he still had six thousand three hundred silver taels left.

These silver taels were all converted into gold for easy carrying.

Early next morning.

Lin Zheyu, carrying his bag, put on the five-hundred-kilogram load, and departed the city.

This heavy armor cost him two thousand silver taels, selling it off would only fetch six hundred silver taels, a great loss indeed.

Thus, Lin Zheyu decided to take it with him on the road.

However, carrying it is cumbersome, so he wore it first, planning to place it on the bullock cart once procured.

Outside the city, a misty fog enveloped the forest.

Lin Zheyu retrieved the hidden Golden Scale Blade, placed it in a pre-prepared sheath, then took out a bamboo whistle and blew it.

Soon, Xiaohei's figure emerged from the mist.

"Let's go, follow me out of here, and I'll roast plenty of meat for you to eat." Lin Zheyu said with a smile, petting Xiaohei's head.

Xiaohei did not fully comprehend his words.
