The information Xu Qianghua gathered from the crowd piqued his curiosity.
The empire's influence, especially through the Empyrean Harmony Sect and the Chamber of Commerce, had clearly begun transforming life in the Central Continent.
From what he observed, most of the changes appeared positive—a good sign since this continent would serve as a model for others, showcasing how they treat their own people.
With curiosity piqued, he extended his consciousness toward the mission board to review the tasks listed and learn who was issuing them.
As he passed through the crowd, he continued observing the prosperous surroundings. Street vendors called out to passersby, selling everything from cultivation manuals to freshly prepared meals.
A variety of cultivators mingled—young disciples from diverse sects and older, seasoned cultivators who had likely strengthened themselves since arriving in this world.
