On the broad official road, the dense forests on both sides were lush, and occasionally, the mysterious calls of birds could be heard!

In the carriage, Bu Fan drove leisurely, occasionally taking in the scenery of the jianghu (martial world). Around the carriage, more than a dozen guards rode on tall horses, slowly following on both sides.

This was the group from Bu Family Manor heading to侠客岛 (Heroic Island), with Bu Yanran at the core, but led by one of the manor's stewards, Steward Fu.

Throughout the journey, Bu Fan adhered to the principle of speaking less, listening more, and doing more, diligently driving the carriage. When he had free time, he seized every moment to cultivate.

Due to his attitude, he earned the praise of everyone, including Steward Fu, who had initially opposed bringing him along. After witnessing Bu Fan's actions on the road, Steward Fu also showed a satisfied demeanor.

Of course, Bu Fan also gained a lot during the journey. His biggest gain was learning about Heroic Island.

This information came from Steward Fu's stories to Bu Yanran during the journey.

Contrary to Bu Fan's expectations, according to Steward Fu, the gathering on Heroic Island was not a meeting of major sects and powers, but a gathering of young disciples from these sects.

Those heading to the island were mostly young disciples from major sects, who came to eat the Laba porridge, which was said to have miraculous effects on internal energy growth, and to observe the stone walls of Heroic Island, which were rumored to contain supreme martial arts!

Thirdly, it was an opportunity for these young disciples to make their debut, and for major sects to introduce their new talents.

During the journey, Bu Fan also heard about some of the outstanding young talents from major sects, such as the new generation genius Shen Yin from Shaolin Temple, the young prodigy Wu Chen from Wudang Sect, the female disciple Chen Yu from Emei Sect, and the young leader Shi Qingfeng from the Beggar Sect.

Occasionally, he would also hear Steward Fu talk about the miscellaneous history of the jianghu, such as the relationships between major sects and events in the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty.

Through this, Bu Fan gradually gained a general understanding of the major trends in the jianghu from Steward Fu's words.

The jianghu was not an institution separate from the imperial court. In fact, according to Steward Fu, many sects in the righteous path had close ties with the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty. It was said that many righteous experts served in the Six Ministries in the capital.

Under the influence of the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty, these righteous experts formed an organization similar to a righteous alliance, though Steward Fu did not elaborate on the specifics.

Naturally, there was also the evil path. The evil forces were mostly associated with rebel groups within the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty or with its enemies.

For example, the Demon Master Palace on the grasslands, the Great Wheel Temple of Tubo, and the Yin Gui Sect and Ming Sect within the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty!

To resist the suppression by the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty, these forces also formed alliances, secretly uniting together.

The remaining forces were like the Bu Family Manor, which were martial arts families that generally maintained a neutral stance. These families often had a deep foundation in martial arts and, to prevent being eroded by the righteous and evil paths, they were interconnected, becoming a force that neither side could ignore.

Thus, in the jianghu, three major forces stood in a tripartite balance!

However, this was only the surface. Beneath these three major forces, the relationships between various sects were complex and filled with intrigue, making the situation extremely chaotic.

Of course, Bu Fan only listened to these matters and did not offer any opinions. In fact, he had a lingering doubt in his mind.

Based on the current state of the jianghu, if players really entered on a large scale, there would be no room for growth.

Not to mention, the strength of someone like Duan Wentian, the successor of the Fire麟Sword outside the Bu Family Manor, was enough to instantly kill 99% of player martial artists.

Let alone those even more powerful than Duan Wentian!

However, if the game were to be opened on a large scale, the federal government would likely consider these issues!

Putting aside these thoughts, after traveling for seven or eight days, Bu Fan finally arrived at the southern coast with the group.

The journey was quite smooth, with no encounters with bandits or local bullies, and no martial arts disputes, as if the entire jianghu was a scene of peace and prosperity.

Upon reaching the southern coast, Bu Yanran and the others first arrived at a large town called Seaside Town!

The town was bustling with people, and the cries of vendors could be heard continuously. More importantly, there were many inns.

After entering the town, Bu Yanran and the others went to the inn they had already reserved, arranged for everyone to stay, and then left with Steward Fu, leaving Bu Fan and the others in the inn.

Only here did Bu Fan feel a taste of the jianghu. On the busy streets, most people were martial artists carrying swords and knives.

At lunchtime, Bu Fan even saw two groups of martial heroes start fighting over a minor disagreement.

However, these heroes were eventually thrown out of the tavern one by one by the innkeeper, making Bu Fan sigh that martial experts were everywhere.

In the afternoon, when Bu Yanran and Steward Fu returned, they led a few people to the pier by the sea.

At the end of the pier, large ships were already prepared. Steward Fu took the lead, walked to the front of the pier, and handed a document similar to an invitation to the guard at the entrance.

After verifying the invitation, the guard bowed and indicated that Steward Fu and the others could board the ship.

Then, the group slowly boarded the ship, and the attendants on board arranged rooms for them.

After entering the room, Bu Fan quietly stayed inside, not wanting to go out and cause any trouble. With so many people on the ship, Bu Fan preferred to meditate and cultivate quietly in the room.

Bu Fan continued meditating until he was awakened by a knock on the door. He slowly opened his eyes and, upon opening the door, saw one of the guards who had come with them.

"Xiao Fan, we're about to reach Heroic Island. The young miss asked me to inform you to prepare to disembark," the guard said with a light smile, then turned and left.

Bu Fan took a deep breath, calming his emotions. He couldn't believe they had reached Heroic Island so quickly.

He wondered if he would be able to learn the "Tai Xuan Jing" as he wished. Bu Fan thought to himself.
