"A while back, one of the senior disciples in my Sect chose to advance along the Summoning Path. This created a shortage of the general-purpose Summoning formulas and materials, and I didn't want to wait decades or even centuries for them to be replenished.
So I decided to search for them myself. By a fortunate coincidence, I learned that a key ingredient was being auctioned in Huayue City, so I hurried over.
After I acquired it, I was planning to hurry back to the Sect, but I never expected to run into this sort of trouble."
At this, Master Fuyuan's expression shifted, and he asked, "Benefactor Zhang, do you have any idea why that Five Elements Remnant was looking for trouble with you yesterday?
Several days ago, drawn by the connection from Huineng's cry for help, I discovered this ill fortune clinging to you. It's been with you for some time now."
Hearing this, Zhang Deming gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm completely in the dark myself."
