Online Cultivation

episode 41

After flying for less than an hour, Yuan started to feel tired from using his spiritual energy constantly.

‘How do I feel tired?! I have over 100 million Qi!’ Yuan was puzzled by how quickly his Qi was depleted when he had over 100 million Qi.

Either flying requires a large amount of Qi to be maintained or a large amount of Qi does not justify the actual amount of Qi.

‘No wonder why Cultivators prefer to walk rather than fly!’ He breathed deeply.

"Wait a little longer, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua suddenly said to him. “There is a small town ahead. We can rest there.”

A few minutes later, Yuan could see the city walls with buildings within a few miles in the distance. Although it did not seem as big as Spirit City, it was still very vast.

«You have found ‘Pang’» City

A while later, Yuan and Xiao Hua descended from the sky and landed near the entrance of the city, instantly attracting the attention of everyone there.

"An expert! That's expert!”

"I've never seen anyone fly without the aid of a flying sword before!"

The people there started muttering to each other in awe, their gazes filled with respect.

When the guards at the gate saw Yuan and Xiao Hua, they immediately approached them and bowed to them, "Welcome to Pang City, Senior!"

“Senior?” Yuan raised his eyebrows in confusion. Did he really look that old in the eyes of these guards?

“Listen, I'm only 18 years old. Don't call me as if I'm old It's not polite.” Yuan said to them.

“”

The guards stared at Yuan with bigger eyes after hearing his words. What kind of miracle could control a flying sword at such a young age?! Calling him a genius would still be an understatement!

"O-I'm sorry, Young Master!"

The guards apologized as they regained their senses from the daze.

“Brother Yuan, people care about your strength above anything else in the cultivation world. Being called Senior means they acknowledge that your strength is above theirs, and that is completely disrespectful.”

"Is that so? But it still feels strange to be responded to in such a way.” Yuan said.

"By the way, what do you want from us?" He asked the guard a moment later.

“If not to ask too many questions, we want to know the reason Young Master and Young Miss visited this place.” The guards still responded with heads bowed.

“We have no excuses, really. We just rest here before continuing the journey.” Yuan said to them.

“If Young Master is looking for a place to rest, please allow us to recommend Lord’s Manor,” said one of the guard.

“Home Master? Sounds like a very expensive place, and we won't stay here long, so it doesn't need.” Yuan quickly rejected their offer, as he personally had no money.

“Don't worry about the cost, Young Master. God won't charge you even one coin. ” The guards said to him.

"But I don't want to disturb this person without any reason," Yuan said. In his eyes, it was too awkward for him to stay at someone's house for no good reason, not to mention a place that sounded impressive like ‘Lord’s Manor’.

“To be honest, we are just following God's orders, because he is currently in a troubled situation and is seeking expert help.” The guards suddenly revealed the real reason why they wanted him to go to the Lord’s Manor.

‘Could this be a search? Perhaps the real reason they approached me was because I was a player’ Yuan thought to myself.

“I don't think there's any harm in visiting people who might need our help. What do you think, Xiao Hua?” Yuan nodded a moment later.

“Xiao Hua will follow Brother Yuan's decision,” he quickly replied.

"OK, then let's go to this Lord’s Manor," Yuan said to the guards, who immediately put a bright smile on their faces.

“Thank you very much, Young Master! God will be filled with joy once he knows this!”

"Please wait a moment while I find a companion for Young Master!"

One of the guards quickly left the scene.

A few minutes later, the guard returned with a very beautiful woman who did not have the appearance of an ordinary bodyguard.

“Welcome to Pang City, honored guests.” The woman greeted them politely before introducing herself, “I'm Luo Ling, the eldest daughter of the Luo Family who rules this humble city. Allow me to drive you back to my house. ”

"You can call me Yuan, and this is Xiao Hua." Yuan gave him a brief introduction.

"Yuan Senior and Xiao Senior, right?"

"You can cancel the formalities and just call me Yuan." She said to him, because it feels so strange for a beautiful woman who seems to be only in her mid-twenties to call him ‘Senior’.

“How does Daoist Yuan sound? I dare not call someone as strong as you casually. ” Luo Ling said to him.

“Strength? You gave me too many compliments. I am only at the Spirit Warrior level. ” Yuan said with a shy smile.

“Despite that, you exuded an extremely formidable aura, not to mention the Young Miss beside you” Luo Ling looked at Xiao Hua with a nervous look.

Although he was unable to see the entire cultivation base of Xiao Hua, he was certain that Xiao Hua was at least at the Spirit Grandmaster level, as many people here had witnessed him flying without the help of a flying sword, and he even exuded an aura of a true aura.

"Daois Yuan is fine, I guess." He nodded a moment later.

Luo Ling proceeded to escort Yuan and Xiao Hua to the city.

Meanwhile, the people who had to queue up to enter Pang City started muttering to each other.

"Did you see that? I have never seen Lady Luo personally receive a guest before! ”

“Of course I saw it! I am not blind! Both are experts! It is obvious that they will be treated with the utmost respect!”

“Hey did you hear that young man just now? I think he calls himself ‘Yuan’ … "

"Could he be the Yuan Player everyone and their mother talked about?"

“Are you sure you didn't hear wrong? He gave no feeling as a Player, let alone an unfathomable individual like a Yuan Player. He might just be an NPC with a similar name.”

“Ya, maybe.”

“It would be amazing if he was the real Yuan Player.”

A group of players within the ranks chatted with each other while they waited for their turn to enter the city.
