Chapter 5: White Lily City
Xiao Xi immediately became excited when she heard Xiao Ren's word and her smile widened then she begun murmuring "yes, I really can't wait anymore, I wish it's already tomorrow, what flavor should I order? I heard there's many flavor of that cake... well I should just order many different flavors to taste it all" Even though Xiao Xi was mumbling to herself, Xiao Ren still manage to hear her words and can't help but have his lips twitch.
Xiao Ren forced to smile before he said "Xiao Xi let's go home now, mother should be waiting for us" Xiao Xi got awake from her thoughts when she heard Xiao Ren before nodding. After the two got home Xiao Xi help her mother to cook for dinner while Xiao Ren called his father.
After eating dinner Xiao Ren go back to his room to meditate before he sleep.
...
Early in the morning Xiao Ren was walking with Xiao Xi after saying to their mother that they will go to city. While they were walking Xiao Ren was holding his stomach because of pain and said "Ughhh, you little girl that hurt me, you shouldn't do that anymore" after hearing the words of Xiao Ren, Xiao Xi lower her head but hidden in it is a smile but still said with a sad voice and apologize "I'm sorry big brother I just got excited and because you won't wake up when I'm waking you"
Earlier when Xiao Ren was still sleeping he didn't know that the door of his room open slowly and his little sister Xiao Xi enter it, Xiao Xi then wake up Xiao Ren but he didn't get up, after Xiao Xi wait for 15 minutes Xiao Ren still didn't get up so she grew irritated and jump to his brother stomach to wake him up. That is the reason why Xiao Ren's stomach hurt.
Xiao Ren and Xiao Xi was walking for about half an hour before they arrived at the city. The City's name is White Lily City, The White Lily City is one of the second rate city in the Crimson Sky Kingdom. There are 3 first rate city, 16 second rate city, and many third rate city in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, but the most richest city is not in the first rate city, but the capital city of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, the Crimson City. The Crimson Sky Kingdom have 3 Noble Clan and the Royal Clan who controlled the Crimson Sky Kingdom the Hong Clan, while the 3 noble is the Li Clan, Zong Clan and lastly the Luo Clan.
After arriving outside the gate of White Lily City, Xiao Ren and Xiao Xi managed to enter the White Lily City after lining up with the Mercenaries and Merchant that want to enter the city.
After the two enter the city, Xiao Xi immediately pulled Xiao Ren to where the Sweets Shop is, it is called Candie's and Sweet's. When the two entered the Candie's and Sweet's the two was welcomed by the waitress "Good Morning, young master and miss please come in" the waitress said to Xiao Ren and Xiao Xi.
When Xiao Xi see the sweets displayed in the glass her eyes glittered with excitement before pointing at the deserts she didn't recognize in the glass before asking the waitress " Is this the new deserts called cake?" after hearing Xiao Xi's question the waitress nod and said "yes, it is young miss"
As Xiao Xi was having a hard time picking what he should chose, Xiao Ren who was forgotten by her little sister the moment they entered the shop said "Xiao Xi wait for brother here and order what you want, I will come back here after I buy what I need" after seeing that Xiao Xi didn't seem to hear him he turned to the waitress and said to give what his little sister chose to order and that he will pay it after he came back later.
After Xiao Ren left Xiao Xi in the Candie's and Sweet's he goes to the nearest shop that sell an elixir. Xiao Ren walked for 5 minutes before arriving at the front of the shop, as Xiao Ren entered the shop he saw a middle age man sitting in the cashier while reading a scroll. Xiao Ren walk towards the middle age man and said "excuse me, I want to sell elixir"
The Middle Age Man turned to look to Xiao Ren and observed him from head to tow before saying "what kind of elixir is it?" while staring at Xiao Ren.
Xiao Ren take out the bottle containing the 3 drops of red liquid to show it to the middle age man before saying "it can help strengthen the body of a body tempering cultivator" There were 4 drops of red liquid remaining and Xiao Ren keep one drop, because he felt that one drop is enough for him to make a breakthrough to 6th layer.
The Middle Age Man take the bottle to Xiao Ren to check if it is really a elixir that has an effect like what Xiao Ren describe, He open the bottle and smell it, the middle age man became shock at how pure the energy contained in it before taking a needle to prick the red liquid and lick the end of the needle to check it. As the middle age man was examining the elixir, Xiao Ren remained quiet while watching.
After examining the red liquid the middle age man look at Xiao Ren for a while before saying "This is really a elixir like you describe and it is even higher in purity than the usual elixir that body tempering cultivator used, do you have more of it I will buy it all, oh don't worry about the price as I will pay it in a reasonable price"
Xiao Ren understand why the middle age man ask if he had more of it because he knows that the elixir made by the stone crystal is high in purity and has more energy than the usual elixir used by body tempering, That is why he wasn't shock that the middle age man wants to buy more of it "well, it was created by my master and he gave that elixir to me for my use and I use the other elixir, that's why that is all I have for now, and I can't sell more than that" Xiao Ren lied to the middle age man that he has a master that can make the elixir to bring the price higher, because he knows that if this elixir is known to cultivator it will be liked by the masses, but of course if he didn't need money he won't sell it and rather use it himself or give it to Xiao Xi and he wasn't even sure if the stone crystal will make that same elixir if he use a different herb.
After the middle age man heard Xiao Ren he sigh but he was excited when he hear that this young man has a master that can make it "sigh, well it's to bad that young master doesn't have anymore, but if you have and want to sell it, please sell it to me" the middle age man said with a smile "Oh I will buy this 3 drop of elixir for 3 silver coins, do you want to sell it?"
The currency of the Crimson Sky Kingdom is copper, silver and gold, for every one hundred copper coin it is equivalent to 1 silver coin and for every one hundred silver coin it is likewise equivalent to 1 gold coin. So when Xiao Ren heard the price he was happy because the price of a usual elixir and rank 1 medicine herb that has the same effect of the elixir use by the body tempering cultivator is 50 copper coin, but he sell his elixir for 1 silver coins, but when he considers the effect of the elixir it is really reasonable "Okay, I will sell it" Xiao Ren nodded at the price given by the middle age man and after he get the silver coins he get out of the shop.
After he got out Xiao Ren stop someone and said "mister, sorry for stopping you but do you know where's the shop that sell medicine herb is?" when the man heard the question he answer "you go straight and when you see a way to the right go there and walk again and when you saw a path to the left, turn there and you will see a shop called Thousand Medicine Garden"
After Xiao Ren heard the direction he say thanks to the man before going to the direction the man pointed.
