Duan Rong decided to practice here on the cliff, employing the cultivation method he unexpectedly grasped while carrying large chests on Wild Boar Mountain.
Duan Rong chose Gu Mountain because it was the closest cliff to Xianggu County, a mere thirteen miles away, reachable on horseback in half an hour.
The whole Yuanyang Prefecture is a basin, surrounded by mountains, with a flat plain in the middle.
Xianggu County is situated on the southeastern outskirts of Yuanyang Prefecture, where there are more mountains and less land, making transportation difficult.
Gu Mountain is characterized by granite, with sparse vegetation, but many low sour jujube trees grow here.
Even the relatively easier-to-climb south slope rarely sees tourists, making it an excellent place for martial arts training.
Duan Rong untied a gourd from his waist, uncapped it, and gulped down a large mouthful of the broth inside.
After swallowing, Duan Rong exhaled and reattached the gourd to his waist.
