The Traveler

VILLAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST

After quite a distance Yun San entered the forest, he stopped and took out the bodies of the four bodyguards. He then burned them with his purple fire. Then continue the journey.

***

The twilight has come. Where the body of the coachman lay, there were currently several horsemen watching him.

"dog**,,, find those four people" shouted one of them.

"manager, what about this corpse" said the man nearby.

"it's a knife belonging to the organization" said the old man who turned out to be the union manager

"take the body to the head office and report the situation in this place" continued the manager.

"good" said the man beside her.

"take three people with you and the rest come back to the city" said the manager. Not waiting for long, four people were seen darting away. The fmanager and the rest of his guards returned to the city of huangdu.

***

The day keeps changing. Yun San and his three companions had been walking through the forest for two days. The aura that Lin Bai exuded made no ferocious beasts approach them. During the day hunting for medicinal plants, during the night Yun San continued to improve his alchemist abilities.

A bright morning on the third day. The four of them continued on their way towards the capital Xuandau. Yun San ran over a small run followed by Lin Bai. His two little friends were feeling good on Lin Bai's back.

"how are the four horses" Yun San asked

"hahaha,, they've calmed down upon seeing brother Bai" Cici replied.

"The risk that frightened them" said Lin Bai

"hehehe,,," Yun San chuckled at the familiarity of the three.

They kept talking while teasing one and the other. Without feeling it was already noon.

"you two go in first" Yun San said to his two little friends, when he saw there was a village in front of them.

"steel ore in the car can we lower" asked Ciko

"no problem, the train is cleaned" Yun San replied as he put the two in.

"Bai,, shrink your body" Yun San said

"well" replied Lin Bai who became knee-high Yun San and hid his aura.

The two continued to walk leisurely entering a village. But Yun San felt an oddity with the village. The contrasting faces look one to the other. Some were grim and harbored a sense of fear, on the other hand an arrogant face that appeared.

"excuse me uncle" Yun San greeted the man he met

"it looks like you're not a sect disciple" the man replied

"i just came and wanted to ask, where is the restaurant in this village" said Yun San

"just be straight and the place is right on the road" he said.

"but you better not enter our village" he continued in a slow tone.

"thank you for the reminder uncle" Yun San replied

"what's up," said a young man in a slightly loud tone

"ohhh,,, sorry, this young man is asking for a restaurant in our village" the man replied with fear.

"it seems like something is really wrong" inner Yun San

"ohhh,, just keep going, you'll find it" said the young man arrogantly

"thank you" Yun San replied briefly

Yun San then left from before them. Curiosity even makes him more alert. Soul energy was circulated to scan the circumstances around him. He felt some people were watching him.

An old servant approached Yun San who was entering the restaurant.

"all the tables downstairs are full, there's still an empty table on the second floor" the waiter said

"no problem uncle" Yun San said

"but the menu is a little more expensive" continued the waiter

"what's wrong, let's show me an empty table" Yun San replied

"please," he said, leading the way.

Nowadays the atmosphere of the restaurant is very crowded. The second floor is almost full of visitors. All pairs of eyes looked at Yun San passing through them. Even until he sat on the table located in the corner of the room.

Their curiosity became a prickly shoe that began to sound. Yun San was only silent, despite hearing their conversation. When the maid came with Yun San's order. Unwittingly another visitor, Yun San kept a piece of paper tucked under one of the trays.

Yun San looked indifferent to the situation around him. He continued to enjoy the dishes that were served, but had previously swallowed the poison downing pills just in case. But his soul force continued to scan the state throughout the entire restaurant.

Like someone who is hungry, it does not take long to finish all the dishes. He continued to relax while enjoying the herbal tea. Meanwhile, other visitors began to leave the place.

"You'd better stay in this village. Don't come out at night" the inner Yun San who was reading the message was scraped off the paper. After that he began to move away and towards the inn beside the restaurant.

***

The twilight has come. Yun San who had been in the inn room was still seriously studying the steel tread book. In the room he was seen meditating. But in the soul room, he trained every movement repeatedly.

All the contents of the book have been memorized, now he continues to learn to master it. Even his palm started to turn somewhat dark. Not because of the poison, but the effect of the purple lotus fire being suppressed and not looking smouldering his hands.

The effect of the exercise, as if he was forging both hands, especially the palm part. Both of his hands felt stronger and more sturdy. While both of his palms can control the purple flames better. Until late at night, he had just finished the exercise.

The soul force expended while about to rest made him aware, if anyone was watching the inn.

"you come out" Yun San said as he brought out his three companions.

""master," said the three.

"now what level are you at" Yun San continued to Lin Bai.

"level nine is early, but not like the one with the bloodline of a saint beast" said Lin Bai. Even a human at the heavenly stage could get him killed.

"why could it be like that" Yun San asked

"i only have great energy" said Lin Bai. His innate ability is to see in the dark. But the fighting ability is a bit lousy.

"just like us, sir" said ciko. The improvement of the two was only on the ability in breaking through formations.

"if you guys give me the essence of holy blood, what will happen" Yun San asked.

"essences that don't suit our kind, never know the effect" said Ciko

"our levels will drop drastically" said Lin Bai. But they can evolve, but they require enormous amounts of energy.

"Ciko, how many qi crystals are there" Yun San asked

"there are dozens of crates, but I don't know the number" Ciko said.

"you put where" asked Yun San

"everything is on the locket, sir" replied Ciko

Yun San then explained that he had a few drops of phoenix blood essence. If the three of them wanted to, then he would give one drop to them. But Yun San was afraid that his trial would stray them.

"i'm ready to try, sir" said Cici

"me too" said Ciko

"i am" said Lin Bai not to be left behind.
