A Path of Eternity

Ch. 21 - Meet Someone

After coming out, Li Xuan seemed to pause and daydream, when it dawned on Li Xuan only to realize that he had left the Eternal Orchid Mountain World, then Li Xuan looked up at the sky it was already night time in this world, slowly Li Xuan started walking down the forest, shortly after Li Xuan found a trace of someone with a burning wood scent.

" I feel a sign of life, and it looks like he's a human being, what is he doing here? " Murm Li Xuan.

As Li Xuan walked closer to the origin of his aura, Li Xuan looked from a distance, seen a human who was burning something within the fireplace, Li Xuan tried to approach him, the human looking wary.

" Who are you? " The man's shout earlier with his long sword, a look of fear adorned his exhausted face.

" I'm sorry uncle if I bother you, I'm just looking for a way out of this forest, I'm not a bad guy. " Said Li Xuan in a calm voice.

" Ahh turned out to be a teenager, I'm sorry, but what are you doing here alone? " Tell the man.

" I happened to be traveling with my entourage, but I got left behind and ended up lost, and I don't know where to get out of this forest either. " Answer Li Xuan.

" Ahh so, well, you can rest with me here, this fireplace is quite comfortable to warm up, also earlier I had time to get my fish caught in the river near here, and here, enough to fill your stomach, maybe you've been hungry all day. " Talk that man.

" Okay uncle, I'm very grateful to you, ahh before may I know your name uncle? " Tanya Li Xuan walked up to him and sat down near him.

" I forgot, I'm sorry, introduce my name Teng Jun, I work as a hunter, usually I sell my hunting to the nearest city. " Said Teng Jun.

Li Xuan tried to pay attention to Teng Jun to simply gauge his abilities, but it turned out that as Li Xuan expected, Teng Jun was not a cultivator, either, and Li Xuan could guess that Li Xuan's hunt was not a demonic beast, but an ordinary ferocious beast, according to Fang Hao and Xiao Li, usually being a hunter like Teng Jun, this was a lucrative occupation for ordinary humans, because just by just increasing his physical abilities by charging for the meat of a ready-to-eat demonic beast, they would be able to easily defeat ordinary beasts.

Perhaps in addition to being a hunter, there was also a tailor, a merchant, and others, perhaps by expanding his relationship, a merchant usually became a job that many people liked in addition to being a hunter.

Li Xuan continued to chat with Teng Jun, about how and what was happening on the continent, from the past 6 years to the present, according to the general information Teng Jun had obtained, according to the general information, the world of cultivators in the Southern Earth Continent was now undergoing great turmoil after the deaths of his two strongest geniuses, Li Xuan could only smile wryly.

Even according to Teng Jun, many sects from both sects believed that the two heroes were fighting in the area near here, therefore experts from both flocked streams combed this area to find the corpse and its relics.

Li Xuan smiled wryly, "The cultivators with all their gluttony and greed. " Murmurm.

Therefore, Teng Jun was always ready and vigilant anytime and anywhere, even in every circumstance like anything, because indeed black flow experts were very many who tried to come to this place, as a result, this place became a chaotic place where even danger could come from anywhere and at any time, even in situations that could not be guessed.

After talking long enough finally they try to rest by dividing the time to sleep and keep it until dawn and the sun wakes up from his sleep.

" Li Xuan, I plan to go to my village first before sending this piece of my hunt, you just come to my village first, you know, please, I'll take you to the nearest town and sell my game. " Said Teng Jun.

" Emm... Alright I'll follow you first Uncle Teng. " Answer Li Xuan.

Both of them walked through the forest, seen Li Xuan following Teng Jun, but not too far away they walked, seen 5 demonic beasts shaped like hyenas suddenly ambushed, and, but what made Li Xuan feel calm was that all five of them were merely level 1 demonic beast qi condensation beasts, and it seemed like this Teng Jun had experienced in killing even low-level beasts or demonic beasts, because Li Xuan did admit about his physique being very far from normal humans in general.

" Haha my catch yesterday was a little, and even that was just an ordinary animal, now that you devout beings dare to ambush me, Li Xuan please step aside first, let this Teng Jun take care of it. " Say by puffing his chest.

It looks that Teng Jun is very skilled in hunting, techniques and also the way that he issued the car and technique of a beginner.

" Hufft... Hunting at once like this is indeed tiring, but I can get enough additional hunted animals, alright let's leave this place immediately and quickly head for the village, before this herd of animals smelled the blood of his friend and headed here with many of his friends and also strong. " Speak Teng Jun hurriedly, while covering the scar he got with a piece of cloth.

" I also think like that, let's speed things up, but let's heal your wounds first uncle. " Say Li Xuan as he moved his hand and threw a pink pill.

Teng Jun accepted it with a stutter, then he caught it with both eyes, looking astonished and also amazed.

" You... You're a cultivator? " Teng Jun with a shocked face.

" I only got it from an uncle merchant, my family used to receive an exchange between gold coins and stone energy, then I asked that half of it be exchanged into several healing pills. " Said Li Xuan lying.

" Ahh so that's how it is, let's just hurry. " Teng Jun directly swallowed the pill, then continued on their way.

Yet without Teng Jun noticing, Li Xuan sensed that some group of cultivators were approaching them, it would be dangerous for the two of them to cross paths.

It turned out that after walking for a few hours, Li Xuan finally arrived at a small village, with perhaps only a few hundred houses standing in that village.

" Our Li Xuan will rest first in the village, I will have to take care of these five new demonic beast corpses, maybe tomorrow we will continue the journey to the nearest city, he said, for now you stay at my house. " Said Teng Jun.

" Okay uncle, I'll come with you. " Continue Li Xuan.

Upon entering the village gate, Teng Jun spoke that his house was not far from there, Teng Jun told him that in this village everything was just ordinary humans, there was not a single cultivator staying here, there was no protection from any sect even from any star, these villagers could only struggle with their own abilities in case of trouble, once upon a time this village was attacked by a collection of demonic beasts, these villagers could only save themselves by moving places and building new villages.

Teng Jun told him late into the night, and they rested quietly in his residence until morning.
