Ancient post stations were typically built along long routes that could cross towns and provinces, making them ideal locations to provide comfortable lodging and rest, as well as essential services for travelers, such as horses and transportation advice.

Post stations were generally built along roads. On every major road, according to the location of towns, there were post stations and inns every 40 or 50 kilometers to accommodate passing merchants and travelers. These were called post stations or postal stations.

Zhang Weihao’s carriage may look large, but some key parts have been reinforced by him using the Divine Refinement Technique. It’s just that his current cultivation level is not high enough to unleash the true power of the Divine Refinement Technique. Otherwise, he could completely drive it with his innate Qi to achieve an ancient version of driverless operation, without even needing horses, and could even fly directly in the sky.

So the carriage had almost no problems on the way here, which is actually abnormal. Normally, carriages often have some minor problems and are prone to stopping and starting.

This is why ordinary people in the martial arts world rarely travel long distances by carriage. Even some officials and their families rent carriages for convenience, and then change them after traveling a certain distance.

When they were about thirty miles away from the next post station, the Lin family’s carriage ran into trouble. The wheel hub broke and they could not continue traveling. They would have to spend the night in the wilderness.

As the head of a security escort agency, Lin Zhennan had personally run escort missions and was naturally very experienced in outdoor camping. He got off the carriage and set up tents and a campfire.

Bonfires were an essential part of ancient camping.

Campfires not only provide campers with lighting and warmth, but also serve as fuel for grilling and a fire source for the kitchen.

Some knights and nomadic peoples also regarded campfires as sacred symbols.

Ancient camping tents were not diverse in type; they were generally simple structures made of cowhide or sheepskin.

Soldiers or merchants may also use simple tents with more or less covers or shields.

Nobles and royalty sometimes used more luxurious large parasols or canopies.

Sleeping bags also existed in ancient times. They were mainly made of silk or wool. The bags were usually cylindrical, with one side open and the other side narrow and sealed. They were usually filled with fur or blankets.

However, the Lin family was prepared, but Zhang Weihao was not. They hadn’t even considered this problem at first. As for repairing the carriage… Zhang Weihao knew how, but the others didn’t. However, it wasn’t completely impossible. They could have Aji carve a temporary wooden stick, but it would be a bit slow. So there wasn’t enough time tonight, and they could only think of a solution tomorrow morning.

“Camping? Shall we go down?”

“Why go down there? You can stay in the carriage too. I’m definitely staying in the carriage, so you can do whatever you want, Senior Sister. But don’t blame me for not reminding you, there are plenty of snakes, insects, and rodents out here at night. There might even be a venomous snake that sneaks into your bed and bites your butt while you’re asleep. Snakes like the seven-step snake and the silver-ringed snake are the ones that love to bite people’s butts.”

It was specially modified by Zhang Weihao, and the carriage was definitely more comfortable than camping. Putting aside everything else, there were really a lot of mosquitoes, insects and rodents in the ancient outdoors at night. It was not surprising to encounter spiders and venomous snakes the size of a palm, and you might even encounter some wild beasts. Most people would not choose to camp in the wild if they had a choice.

Yue Lingshan had never had such an experience before, and she was genuinely frightened when she heard about it. There are many snakes on Mount Hua, but those who live in sects usually have special medicines to prevent snakes, insects, and rodents, so they are relatively safe. However, this is outside, and although she brought some medicines with her, it was still not entirely safe.

Yue Lingshan is terrified of snakes. It’s rare for a girl not to be afraid of snakes.

Seeing that none of her junior brothers intended to get off the carriage to camp, Yue Lingshan naturally didn’t plan to get off either, so she slept in the carriage with Zhang Weihao and Xue Qianxun.

The four sisters, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, have two sleeping in the car and two keeping watch at night (taking turns, one in the first half and one in the second half of the night). With Aji keeping watch at night, security is not a problem.

While everyone else was fine, things weren’t so peaceful for Zhang Weihao.

Although Yue Lingshan had gone to bed early, she was just pretending to be asleep and hadn’t actually fallen asleep. The main reason was that her junior brother was going too far. What was he doing? Could he please stop being so impatient?

“Young Master, please don’t do this. If you continue like this at the post station, Ling Shan will hear you.”

“So what if she heard it? She’s not an outsider. Senior sister is not young anymore. In a typical wealthy family, she would have been married long ago. I don’t believe she doesn’t know anything. My dear sister, just give in to me. I’ll just rub against her. I won’t really go in. I’m still a little short of breaking through. It’s not time for me to lose my virginity yet.”

Zhang Weihao was telling the absolute truth. Originally, the two sisters, Dongfang Bai and Xue Qianxun, were deliberately left by Tang Zichen for him to use in his breakthrough. They were both top-quality furnaces.

One was to protect his safety and handle some trivial matters for him, essentially a child bride; the other was a furnace for breaking through the innate Yin-Yang dual cultivation. These two female disciples were not just casually accepted; their fates had been clearly arranged long ago.

However, Zhang Weihao was incredibly lucky this time, drawing two very powerful orange-level divine abilities: the Mangekyou Sharingan (Fugaku’s) and the Divine Refinement Technique from the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

In particular, the Divine Refinement Technique is not only the most powerful weapon-refining technique in Under One Person, but it is also a very powerful cultivation method. It uses oneself as a weapon, which is both self-cultivation and weapon refining.

However, this is a martial arts world, not a world of one person, so Zhang Weihao needs to use the Qi cultivation methods here as a reference to develop a Qi cultivation method that fits the martial arts world. Therefore, he chose the Zixia Divine Skill, which is said to have been passed down from the patriarch Chen Tuan.

It has been proven that this is indeed a legitimate method of cultivating Qi. Combined with the Divine Refinement Technique, one can directly cultivate innate Qi.

This is also why Zhang Weihao can unleash a thirty-meter-long sword aura. In addition to the blessing of divine weapons, he can now command innate Qi.
