Chapter 230: Immortal Divine Sword (1)
The Central Plains were vast, but the world beyond them was even more so.
The people of the Central Plains were unaware, but there existed places beyond the reach of the Emperor’s power.
Take Liaodong, for instance.
Located northeast of Beijing, this inland region was colder and drier.
Here, the influence of the Jurchen tribes outweighed the Emperor’s power.
In Liaodong, there’s a place known as Heilongjiang, named for its black rivers flowing like dragons.
People living in warm cities like Hangzhou or Nanjing could never imagine, but Liaodong was also inhabited.
There were farmers tilling the land, hunters skinning animals they caught, and herbalists digging up herbs for sale.
In the case of Mount Meiling, located downstream of Heilongjiang, there were many herbalists.
