Living in the Capital City is no easy feat.
This seems to apply in any time and space.
Similarly, in this world where demons and evil spirits run rampant, the Capital City naturally also gathers the most cultivators, with all sorts of schools and factions, full of variety.
Those who are less successful gather in the city, either being subjugated by various forces or wandering the mortal world. Those who become renowned, however, establish temples and shrines in the outskirts of the city.
Thus, Zhang Kui trudged through the snow and wind, often seeing Taoist temples and monasteries, either hidden in the mountains or perched on hills.
Before long, he saw dense pine and cypress forests, and at a fork in the road, a stone pill furnace covered in snow. Turning a corner, he saw an ancient Taoist temple, with a sign that read "Jade Flower Temple."
A small Taoist Child at the entrance was diligently shoveling snow, his face and hands red from the cold.
