To Test One’s Strength

During Xu Min’s travels, no matter where he had gone, he had always met with both hostility and hospitality. Only in Honghe City, where he had spent years with his master Wang Li, he had never felt any hostility towards him, but he never knew this was due to the protection of his master.

When he left on his journey, he met Cao Cao and his family. They were very kind towards him. Although they did force him to travel with Cao Cao, none of them wanted to take his life. They even allowed him to take the herbs of his liking from their beautiful grounds.

The snakes hospitality counterbalanced with the cultivators in the forest he had the life and death encounter with. That was the first time he had been forced to fight to the death, and it had been an immense tempering of both his mind and body.
