Caspian remembered that the spring rain would fall at least in late February or early March in previous years, and it would be accompanied by rolling spring thunder.
However, the spring rain at the end of January lasted for three days that year, gentle and dense, covering the earth in a hazy rain and fog.
The air was cool and fresh.
That afternoon, Caspian wore a conical hat and came to Bamboo Creek Alley.
It was about 120 kilometers away from the imperial city, and it was not in the downtown area but the depths of the quiet ancient road compound.
The back door of certain houses in the alley seemed to be open at any time, and a young girl with an umbrella walked out and smiled at Caspian gently.
‘Is this the path my mother took before?’
Breathing in the unfamiliar air around him, Caspian strolled forward in the rain.
The Bamboo Creek Alley was not far, and its size was about 60 meters.
Hence, Caspian could see the end at a glance.
Edgar did not tell Caspian what he should be looking for at Bamboo Creek Alley, but Caspian was not worried because he believed someone would tell him.
In no time, Caspian was halfway through Bamboo Creek Alley.
Near the center of the alley, there was a dumpling stall under the eaves, and an old woman with gray hair who appeared simple and honest was currently wrapping dumplings.
In the pot, the boiling water kept tumbling, exuding a rich aroma.
When Caspian walked to the dumpling stand, the old woman looked at him and smiled.
“Young man, would you like a bowl?”
Caspian chuckled.
“Granny, how can you tell that I’m a young man?”
The old woman skillfully poured more than ten dumplings into the pot, and the folds on her face gathered as she laughed.
“I might be old, but my eyes still work great.
How can I not recognize a young man like you?”
“Oh? Is that the case?” Caspian nodded and slowly removed his conical hat, “I thought you knew I‘d be here long ago, so you’ve been waiting…”
Looking at the sallow middle-aged man‘s face under the hat, the old woman who cooked suddenly stopped, and the expression on her face instantly froze.
“Look, I’m a young man! Are you surprised?” Caspian grinned.
Daisy taught Caspian the disguise technique.
Although he could not deceive high-level cultivators, there was no problem tricking ordinary ones.
Sure enough, that old dumpling vendor immediately gave the game away.
“Yeah! I’ve been waiting here for a long time! Today, my Great Oceans Sect has set up a net.
Caspian, you are doomed!” The next moment, the amiable smile on the old woman‘s face disappeared, replaced by a hideous face, and she sounded like a gruff man.
Before he finished speaking, the guy waved his hand violently.
In that instant, the large pot of steaming dumpling soup poured over Caspian’s head and face.
Then, the boiling soup swiftly caused a thick fog in that drizzling alley.
Caspian hurriedly backed away, but a small part dropped on him.
Next, he smelled a scent neither fragrant nor foul, and his face changed slightly.
Caspian looked at the dumpling soup on his clothes, which turned purple.
“This is… Qi breaker!” Caspian frowned and looked at the old woman.
The old woman grinned, stretched out her hand, and pulled along her neck.
Suddenly, she tore off the human skin mask covering her face, revealing a proud look of a man.
“Yes, it’s the Qi breaker, and you can’t sense the essence of the world now.
I‘d like to see how you’ll use your spells now! Everyone, come out!“
