Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

For Chen Hao, who had already recalled all the details of his past memories, these little things didn't take much time to make at all.

Also!

The drinking water that Chen Hao and Yan Lingji have been drinking these days has also been filtered by Chen Hao through the [Concept Furnace].

Absolutely top-grade natural mineral water, free of any bacteria or pollution, and incredibly sweet.

After all, although this era has not been polluted by the industrial civilization of the 21st century, clean water sources are not everywhere, and most water sources are not as clean as people imagine.

Although there is no industrial pollution, there is still a lot of animal and human pollution.

Therefore, after Yan Lingji got used to drinking the natural mineral water that Chen Hao had refined through the [Concept Furnace], she became picky about ordinary drinking water.

"Ok, no problem."

Chen Hao efficiently prepared everything Yan Lingji needed and then walked outside.

Chapter 014 First Arrival in Shinjeong, South Korea

I took a nice, relaxing hot bath, and then had a rare peaceful meal with Yan Lingji.

Although it wasn't considered delicious compared to the food of the previous world, it was a rare treat for Chen Hao and Yan Lingji, who had been traveling and enduring hardships for half a month.

After finishing their meal, as Chen Hao and Yan Lingji were preparing to return to their rooms to rest, Yan Lingji suddenly reminded Chen Hao, "Little Chen Hao, don't cultivate in your room tonight."

"At least until you are able to control your talent, do not practice in crowded places."

"That would attract too much attention."

When Yan Lingji thought of the magnificent phenomenon that arose when Chen Hao cultivated, drawing upon the essence of the sun and moon, her eyes twitched involuntarily.

Although she had benefited a lot from following Chen Hao these past few days and her skills had improved considerably, she still didn't want to be besieged and hunted down by various people because of this.

"in addition..."

"Be more careful when you're resting outside, and don't fall into a deep sleep."

Chen Hao nodded, "Understood, Sister Yan Lingji."

"Good!" Yan Lingji turned and walked towards her room, waving to Chen Hao behind her. "Get some rest. We still have to travel tomorrow."

Squeak! Bang!

With Yan Lingji and Chen Hao's room doors tightly shut, they seized the rare opportunity to rest.

...

Ten days later, in a place near the Korean capital, Xinzheng.

Chen Hao and Yan Lingji each rode a horse, slowly letting the horses move towards Xinzheng.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

Yan Lingji looked unusually relaxed, squinting as she enjoyed the gentle breeze: "I never thought I would be able to roam freely in other countries. It's really great."

"Of course!" Chen Hao replied calmly, "The reason we spent so much money on travel permits is precisely to save us trouble, isn't it?"

During this period, numerous vassal states existed, each with its own system and standards of measurement.

So, if you want to travel from one country to another, you naturally need a travel permit.

Without a travel permit, a person would find it extremely difficult to move around in any country, and might even face a threat to their life.

In the animation, the fact that Yan Ling Ji, Bai Du Wang, Qu Shi Mo, and Wu Shuang Gui were besieged and targeted by the army or even arrested as soon as they arrived in South Korea may not be without reason.

The travel permits for Chen Hao and Yan Lingji were forged by him at great expense.

Of course it's called a forgery, but all the information on this travel permit is verifiable. Even in their place of origin, you can find information about Chen Hao and Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Chen Hao, annoyed. "Do you think everyone can be as indifferent to money as you are?"

"Sigh~!" Yan Lingji sighed deeply, looking at the winding road ahead, and said, "Ever since the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, the identities of us have not been recognized by other countries."

"If you even present your original identity documents, you might attract the attention of people from other countries."

"Only someone like you, Xiao Chenhao, who used money to pave the way, could allow us to pass through!"

Chen Hao ignored Yan Lingji's reflections, instead glancing at the city gates of Xinzheng, the capital of Han, in the distance, then at the messy fields on either side of the road, and...

Scattered bones in the wilderness, left uncollected.

For the first time, Chen Hao had a clear understanding of this era:

"White bones are exposed in the wild, and for a thousand miles there is not a rooster's crow."

"I never expected to see such appalling scenes here, so close to the South Korean capital, Siege."

Thinking of the emaciated, sallow-faced, ragged, and even starving commoners he had encountered along the way, Chen Hao revealed an angry expression towards the royal family and so-called emperors of this era: "Is no one in charge of all this?"

“Those high-ranking officials and nobles only know how to indulge in debauchery and revelry; how could they possibly care about the lives of ordinary people?”

Yan Lingji's eyes revealed a calmness.

As someone living in this era, she had long been accustomed to such scenes and had long since become indifferent to them.

"Perhaps... I should do something for this world?"

Chen Hao looked bewildered. "At least... at least the world shouldn't be like this."

Yan Lingji turned to look at the bewildered Chen Hao, and said with some heartache, "Little Chen Hao, do whatever you want to do. I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely be able to do something for this era."

"Perhaps!" Chen Hao said with a wry smile, "But I'm afraid I can't resist the overwhelming force of this world on my own in this chaotic world."

"Moreover, my thoughts and habits are somewhat out of step with everyone else in this world."

"I'm afraid very few people are truly willing to listen to my ideas."

"Just do your best and don't worry about gains or losses." Yan Lingji said to Chen Hao with a smile, "At most, if you want to give up, I'll go into seclusion in the mountains with you."

"Didn't you say that in your original world, your biggest wish was to be a shut-in forever?"

Looking at the smiling Yan Lingji, Chen Hao blankly replied, "Mm!"

...

Soon, Chen Hao and Yan Lingji's horses arrived at the south gate of Xinzheng City.

They dismounted and underwent inspection by the soldiers at the city gate.

Chen Hao and Yan Lingji each led their own horses into Xinzheng, the capital of the Korean state.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

The horses' hooves made a crisp sound as they trod on the stone-paved streets of Xinzheng.

"Selling steamed buns... freshly steamed buns... sir, would you like a few?"

"Would you like to buy a piece of jewelry for your wife?"

"Manager Liang, do you have that new brocade from Chu?"

"Please come in, sir."

"..."

Chen Hao looked around and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect Xinzheng City to be so clean and lively."

"After all, it is the capital of a country. If it is too dilapidated, it will be looked down upon by people from other countries."

Yan Lingji felt no curiosity whatsoever about the situation inside the city of Xinzheng.

"Alright!" Yan Lingji stopped Chen Hao from asking any more questions and said to him, "Let's find an inn to rest first, and then we'll figure out how to contact the Corpse-Driving Demon and the others."

"In addition, we also need to investigate the situation inside Xinzheng City in advance."

"Okay!" Chen Hao replied.

Chapter 015 Zi Lan Xuan and Wei Zhuang

While Chen Hao and Yan Lingji were looking for a place to settle down, he noticed that although the buildings in Xinzheng City were well-organized and quite clean, most of the houses were just simple brick and tile houses, gray and not at all luxurious.

However, not far from where the two of them were walking on Xinzheng Main Street, there was a huge pavilion that stood out from the crowd and was exceptionally magnificent in Xinzheng City.

The paint on the outside of the attic was a rich, vibrant crimson and purple.

Moreover, lanterns for decoration hang on the eaves of the pavilion, and the eaves and windows of the pavilion are also decorated with brightly colored brocade.

The attic is surrounded by a sizable courtyard, filled with colorful flowers and lawns.

Clang clang clang clang!

Chen Hao quickly arrived at the front of the pavilion, looked up at the plaque hanging outside, and struggled to read the words on it:

"Zi...Lan...Xuan! That's how it should be pronounced, right?"

During this period, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng had not yet unified the writing system. The writing systems of the various states in the Central Plains could be roughly divided into five major systems: Qi script, Yan script, Jin script, Chu script, and Qin script.

The seven states of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin each had their own script, and these script systems often differed greatly.

If it's a language outside of your own writing system, it's quite difficult to read.
