    Junfeng was an ordinary rice farmer and seller in the land of Chung Kuo, living a simple life. His days were spent toiling in the fields and his nights were passed in peaceful slumber. Until one day, his life took an unexpected turn.

    While working in his rice field, Junfeng's hoe struck something hard. Curious, he dug around and unearthed an ancient artifact fragment. It was unlike anything he had ever seen.

    The artifact fragment piqued Junfeng's interest. An old tale his grandfather told him about the Cave of the Red Dragon resurfaced in his mind. He decided to embark on a journey to find the cave.

    After many days, they reached the entrance of the Cave of the Red Dragon. It was an imposing sight. The cave entrance was carved into the shape of a massive dragon's mouth.

    Junfeng inserted the artifact fragment into a slot in the dragon's mouth. The cave entrance creaked open, revealing a vast, dark interior. With a deep breath, Junfeng and Lao stepped inside.
