Wang Shanchang, the shopkeeper of the safe and stable mule and horse business, that was his public identity. In private, he was also an informant for an underground cultivation force in southeast Jinxiu Continent. There were many like him who belonged to the outermost circle, responsible for running errands and minor tasks. Each year, he received a modest reward; the greatest benefit was that if there was trouble, someone would come to help him handle it.
He had not joined the Daoist Sect, still a minor Bridge Connection cultivator. He knew that cultivation was likely beyond his reach in this lifetime. His strenuous efforts were solely to provide for his descendants, hoping that the Wang family might produce a true cultivator.
