I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 136

I returned to my temporary laboratory inside Jemun Pavilion and sat down in a chair.

I had just come back from stepping outside the pavilion to ask Pavilion Master Jemun for a brief visit and to pick up some news about how things were unfolding in the Central Plains.

Though it would be impolite to call it bad luck, Kunlun had inevitably become the front line long ago, simply due to its location in Qinghai Province bordering Xinjiang.

‘Well, by this era’s standards, things are urgent—but if someone asked whether events truly unfold as rapidly as in modern warfare… that wouldn’t be quite right.’

Sighing again, I straightened my posture and stared blankly at the clutter I’d left on my desk.

Hairpins, silver bells, jade pendants, and various other items… All were individually quite valuable, yet lacking any common theme, they merely looked like a disorganized pile of trinkets at first glance.
