I slept soundly.

When I woke up in the morning, Choseol's body moved very smoothly. I might have overexerted myself.

After preparing to leave the room, I took the lantern and left the inn.

Even though I didn’t leave a tip, the innkeeper treated me with great respect until I left, which I appreciated. If I had to rate it, I would give five stars.

Additionally, he had prepared a food preserve made from roasted grain flour, like powdered misutgaru. This should be enough for a long journey.

I’m now holding the strangely brighter lantern, shaped like a Western-style gas lamp, as I head north.

If I keep heading north and then northwest, I’ll reach Kunlun Mountain. However, even though it’s called Kunlun, just like how Seoul National University Station appeared in my faded memories, the actual Kunlun is still quite a distance away.@@novelbin@@

Places where humans live, places where Taoists live, and places where immortals live.

These three places are separated.

The deeper you go, the more the difference in civilization and technology becomes enormous. Especially the places where immortals reside, they possess technology on par with or even exceeding the levels of some worlds that have passed through cosmic eras, far beyond the world in my faded memories.

So the simplest method is to enter through the right way.

If I could just barge in and meet them, I would, but after reviewing the memories of Taoists and immortals, I can’t find any hidden openings to sneak through, so I have no choice but to charge straight ahead.

As I walk along the midday streets, planning what I’m going to do, I notice that many people’s gazes are on me.

At first, I thought it was because of my height, but when I followed the gaze, it wasn’t my face or body they were looking at—it was the lantern I was holding.

It’s odd to walk around with a lit lantern during the day. Normally, if you carry a lantern with fire, it’s not only a waste of fuel, but the heat also increases.

However, the light from this one isn’t heat-producing; it remains cool even as it stays bright.

And once night fell, those curious stares disappeared.
