In Sung Lin's eyes the man in front of him was already like an invincible swordsman figure. He could imagine that the man in front of him would be the strongest person who would defeat all his enemies with great gallantry.
"Wow.... ! Dong Feng ? Uncle Feng ! Uncle Feng is cool ! I'm sure Uncle Feng will definitely become an invincible swordsman !"
Dong Feng became laughing from hearing the praise from the boy in front of him. "Hahaha. You wait for the time when my name becomes famous, then I am already the strongest warrior".
Sung Lin nodded his head giving a yes answer to Dong Feng. Waiting and looking forward to when the name Dong Feng became famous. "Umh.I will definitely wait and watch when Uncle Feng's name becomes famous".
The journey of the two finally continued. Occasionally the two of them rested to recover their strength. On the sidelines of the break Dong Feng occasionally also told of his knowledge about cultivation.
Sung Lin was very enthusiastic when listening to what Dong Feng was talking about. He had just figured out the difference in strength between a person cultivating and a person who had never cultivated. It's like cotton and stone.
People who were cultivating could rely on the power within them referred to as Qi to increase their running speed. As for ordinary humans they could only rely on their physical strength alone.
"Uncle ! Uncle ! Then how can ordinary people cultivate ?" sung Lin asked as he raised one of his hands up.
"For ordinary people to be able to cultivate, they must be able to sense Qi energy first. After that the Qi energy is then absorbed into the body and made into one until it can form a sea of Qi".
"Then how can I feel the Qi energy ?" sung Lin asked Dong Feng once more.
Not answering Dong Feng's question asked Sung Lin. "Why are you asking that question ? Do you want to practice how to cultivate ?"
"Yes uncle ! I want to be strong like uncle and be able to easily defeat enemies !" Sung Lin replied excitedly and loudly hoping that Dong Feng would teach him how to cultivate.
Dong Feng who saw the answer from Sung Lin, he felt amazed. "I like the spirit you show boy, but are you sure you want to learn cultivation ? When you start, your life will change drastically.... You'll see blood often and you'll often get hurt because of the fight you're fighting. Are you able to withstand all that ?"
Dong Feng tried to ascertain Sung Lin's intention to start cultivating because not only the words that were used as supplies but also the intentions and beliefs and goals that would be used as a foundation for cultivating.
Sung Lin became speechless when he heard the question Dong Feng had thrown at him. It was true that Sung Lin's previous intention was just to want to be strong like Dong Feng, but was wanting to be strong just not enough ?
Sung Lin thought what reason did he want to be strong for ? For some reason he remembered his dead grandfather. Back then he could not protect his grandfather so an attack from the cultivator who came out of the path led to and killed his grandfather.
"Uncle.. at this time, I do not have a purpose, but I do not want to see the people I will love die in front of me. I don't want that to happen ! I want to be strong so I can protect the people I will love !"
Dong Feng saw Sung Lin's gaze was very firm and strong. The gaze of someone who would be a big and powerful person.
Dong Feng then immediately stood up to get up from his break. "Stay boy ! I've decided that during the trip to the city I'll help you train".
The journey resumed. To reach the city the distance is still far away and now it is getting dark. Not far from their location there is a village that can be used as a place to rest.
"Tonight we will rest in the village and you can start training there comfortably without any disturbance from the beasts" said Dong Feng while pointing towards the village that was not far away from them.
Dong Feng then whispered something in Sung Lin's ear, "Hey boy, will I teach you one trick so that we can get a cheap price. Did you see the woman standing there ?"
Sung Lin then looked towards the woman that Dong Feng had pointed at. "Does uncle mean the woman in red ?"
"Yes ! Watch and learn what I'm going to do !" Dong Feng then walked over to the woman wearing the red shirt. As for Sung Lin he noticed Dong Feng from behind.
"Miss is there still an empty room ?" dong Feng asked familiarly.
"There is still a master. How many nights do you want to stay ?" ask the inn worker.
"For just one night" Dong Feng replied.
"For the price of one night it costs 2 taels of silver master" said the female lodging worker while preparing the keys for the room.
""Miss..is not 2 taels of silver worthless ? What if 1 tael of silver ? And as a thank you I would recommend this inn to my other friends" Dong Feng pleaded for a price drop.
The female worker looked ahead. All he saw was a little boy. "Sorry sir, didn't you just come with one boy over there ? Is that friend you mean that boy !?"
"No ! Of course not ! The boy who came with me was only my student. My friends will come tomorrow. I was just told that they were going to be late and it would likely take a while to arrive" Dong Feng said with a calm face.
The lodging worker woman still doubted the words of the man in front of her. He did not know whether this man before him was lying or not.
Dong Feng who was still suspected of being a little was was was. He then looked back and called Sung Lin. "Son Lin, come quickly !" call Dong Feng while moving his hand to have Sung Lin come closer.
Sung Lin then approached after being summoned by Dong Feng.
"Son Lin is trying to tell you what I taught you at rest ?"
Sung Lin replied cheerfully "How to cultivate !"
"Well how ? I'm not lying, am I ? This child is indeed my disciple" Dong said to the woman in front of him.
The woman inevitably believed what the man in front of her said even though she still had a little doubt. "Well this is the key to his room, sir, but you must promise to recommend this inn to another friend !"
"Miss don't worry I will definitely recommend it to my other friend" Dong Feng replied as he took the keys to his room. He then took out 1 tael of silver as a charge to spend the night and immediately went upstairs with Sung Lin heading to his room.
Note :
1 tael of gold \= 16 taels of silver
