Synopsis

The chapter begins with a character displaying confidence in water traversal as he moves towards his goals, which include selling captured people but, more importantly, locating a virgin ginseng. This leads him to a village where he inquires about a crimson boulder connected to a legendary advisor. The villagers, although initially suspicious, eventually guide him towards Pagoda Peak, a dangerous area controlled by the Nine Dragons Fortress, where the boulder may be found and the ginseng potentially resides. Despite the risks, he is determined to proceed towards the fortress.
