Chapter 234: Merchant Caravan, Meng Hai! Worshiping the Sun, Moon, and Stars!
Just over a month left... Li Yanchu thought to himself.
Although he had mastered the Fasting Art, he still went into the city to purchase a large amount of food, water, and other essential supplies, just in case.
At this moment, the Universe Pouch proved to be extremely useful.
As for the silver needed to buy supplies, Li Yanchu was not lacking. He already had a few thousand taels in silver notes, and after leaving a portion with the innkeeper, the rest was more than enough.
He went to the livestock market and bought the strongest, best-looking camel he could find.
Then, he prepared to join a merchant caravan.
Outside the frontier was a different world compared to within the borders. Even though he carried the Wind Tamer, he didn’t want to recklessly ride the clouds and fly.
He wanted to avoid unnecessary complications.
Besides, he also needed a guide. Otherwise, it would be all too easy to lose direction in the boundless desert.
Many merchant caravans had their own warriors to protect their goods. Some also directly hired armed escorts from security firms.
Beyond the border, there were brutal and murderous bandits on horseback and sand raiders, who often attacked passing caravans. In the vast and sparsely populated frontier lands, this was everyday life.
After all, the desert and mountains were outside the jurisdiction of the imperial court of the Kingdom of Qian. So basic protection was a necessity.
