Chapter 6: Chengdu city

"Little Lin, I think its time you head back so that Aunt Yao wouldn't worry" I persuaded Her for the third as it was almost midnight.

"Okay then I'll return home but Big brother Yun, you should really take a rest because you look very Pale" Yao Lin Asserted as She headed out of the Courtyard while I could only Straight forward Smile at the retreating figure. shaking my Head as I went into my home I did a few stretches before lying on my Bed.

'I need to head into the city Tomorrow for the Final thing i'll be needing...based on the time frame. today is December 18th year 603, tomorrow is the day Beggar Li Yuqiang Shows up at the side of Chengdu main market square.' thinking up to this point I couldn't help but laugh as I remembered the face of that dirty old man. he would just lie on the floor next to the steps of Luolan's Tea House entrance, Sulking and sometimes spew curses or spittle if you look at him for long. This has made many player angry and resulted in beating him up mercilessly which would make him even Curse louder. But no one knew this Man 'Li Yuqiang' was an unfathomable expert, even at that time my character was already at the 'peerless' cultivation stage. I didn't know this till one day when I had left over 'Daughter's Wine' which I gave to him, and even then he simply squinted at his hands for a second before opening his eyes wide in amazement before gobbling down the whole contents of the Jug like his life depended on it. after that I simply smiled wryly before turning to leave as I had not expected anything from him, In Fact the wine was a Quest reward so I didn't see as Precious. But who knew he would stop me and say "Little Fellow, This Old man won't let you suffer any injustice".

That had piqued My interest as I saw him searching through his 'rags' and fetching out a Scroll before saying " this here is my Life's work, take it! never had i thought that I'd be able to taste daughter's wine once again". upon collecting the Pamphlet i was finally able to see his name above his head.

-Elder 'Li Yuqiang

???(Unfathomable)

I was shocked!, This situation only happened when there is a difference of over 3 cultivation realms and Each realm had 4-5 levels in them depending on your cultivation technique.

Looking at the Scroll in My hands, it had a green outer layer and a few rough patches to show how old it was. unfurling the scroll, I saw the Name of the martial Skill boldly written at the top "Dragon Subduing Slaps", reading further I found out This old Beggar was actually an Elder for the beggars sect who had been expelled and was now serving penance. Well in Summary, that skill alone had change my wushu life as it took me to being one of the top 100 on the ranking list. It was use able between combos of other skills and it was compatible with what ever cultivation inner you used, what's more it was unique to just me. Although I can exchange for it with QCP, the price is astronomical! and based on what system had said i could also get some of this skills by finding them personally. which brought the Idea of me heading to Chengdu tomorrow.

"System Exchange One Daughter's Wine for me"

-Deducting 2000Qcp

-Item has been deposited into Host's inventory

Once I get this, I can proceed to the Examinations. 'I've been suppressing myself to be at this level for so long just so that i can get the "against worldy evil" cultivation manual from the location it was found back then. I need to merge it with my True Frigid Ice Chi cultivation technique since its the only apex cultivation manual that can compliment my Yin elements, after all exchanging for it is about 2.3 million Qcp for the Basic part alone.

After stretching once more, I started going through the Martial Skill page on the item shop till I drifted off to sleep.

Waking up in the morning, Xu Yun quickly freshened up as he couldn't help but feel excited to see the city. He wanted to confirm if this world was really like the game but he had been putting it off. after he was done with everything he stepped out of his courtyard only to notice the difference in the atmosphere. it was all Hustle and bustle at the Family Manor. there were Guards patrolling across the main family mansion and other houses, servants running around from directions to the other. from the look of it, it seemed as though they were expecting an important guest. even at this moment no one noticed the White haired Boy on Dark purple attire slowly walking out of the abandoned southern wing. in fact, it was like Xu Yun was invisible!.

Curious, Xu Yun quickly stopped a servant in order to find out what was happening. "Hello, Can you please tell me what's happening" saying this as his voice came out lower than intended.

The servant was startled by the voice as he cautiously looked around before turning towards his back. with eyes open wide he stared at Xu Yun for about 2 seconds before recovering with a Slight blush " I'm S...Sorry Young Miss, I di...didn't Notice you were there. Shen family member are coming over to see the Family Head, So...".

At this time Xu Yun's mouth was twitching, "Young Miss?".

The servant tilted his head in confusion, He didn't Understand this young lady's behavior but still decided to apologize, So he took a deep breath to comport himself "young miss, forgive this lowly one for not understanding what your Question is, But I am...". As he kept on speaking, Xu Yun's face became more Uglier. Finally not being able to take it anymore as he was rendered speechless, he simply snorted with a "hmph!" and walked away towards the manor gates leaving the servant dumbfounded on what to do.

"I wonder which family's Miss that was" the servant pondered for a bit before going about his duties. What Xu Yun didn't know was that this behavior only further increased the misunderstanding as he could've simply explained himself but that is a story for another day.

Upon reaching the family gates, he headed to straight for where the carriages were kept leaving the guards at the gate confused as they did not see him cross the gates when going in, but they simply looked at him strangely before looking at themselves. as though understanding each others thought, they simply went back to their positions pretending nothing ever happened.

Meanwhile, Xu Yun had Just arrived at the Carriage stand as he went to the having a Crest matching Xu Tianchi's Medallion. It's Design was made up of a Python trying to Swallow the Sun, it was a merge between Xu Tianchi's logo and the Xu family logo. it was the same for the other brothers, Yunzheng's Crest was made up of a lion basking under the Sun while Yunzao's Was a series of spider webs obscuring the Sun. As Xu Yun got closer to where the carriage drivers were chatting, their chatter slowly died down as they noticed him. They all noticed him and all began to wonder who he was. the One to recognize him was Xu Chong, the Driver to Tianchi's Carriage. Shocked!, He quickly bowed "Xu Chong! greets Young Master!".

""""YOUNG MASTER???!!!!""" There was an Uproar!, but not for the right reasons. they were surprised that this beautiful person was actually male, He had Delicate Smooth jade like skin with a bit of a round face and phoenix shaped eyes. he had translucent blue eyes and smooth white hair, attached with his dark purple robe over his black Hanfu. only now that they had looked closely at his clothes did they notice he was wearing a male Hanfu not the female hanfu that their minds made it out to be. seeing that they had been staring they bowed awkwardly.

"Rise" Xu Yun face became dark and his mouth kept twitching as he couldn't blame them, this was all the fault of true frigid ice chi inner cultivation and his mother's overpowered genes. he had lamented about his appearance every time he looked at the mirror, he even imagined how popular he would be if he was back on earth. ending his inner musing and cursing the heavens he noticed Xu Chong tearing up.

Confused by this situation, He could only ask "Uncle Chong, is there a problem?".

"ah!...No problem, I was just thinking how proud the Madam must feel in the heavenly plains" Xu Chong replied as he tried to clean his tears. hearing this made Xu Yun purse his lips, before consoling more of himself than Xu Chong as he tried to change the Subject. "But Uncle Chong, how did you recognize me when i haven't even shown you any identification?"

"you have a great resemblance to the Madam and Third Master has always talked about you so I know you are the only one in Chengdu who has snow white hair". Xu Chong responded after calming down, then he straightened up with a smile. "where do you want to go to young master?".

"right, I'm going to chengdu market to purchase something for eldest Uncle" Hearing Xu Yun's response, he looked around Xu Yun like he was searching for something. "Eh young Master, you can rest assured I'll get you there as quickly as 30 minutes" Xu Chong declared with confidence, Naturally our Young Master Xu Gun was overjoyed. He Quickly made his way into his branch family's carriage ignoring the gossiping going on around him.

"I thought they said Young Master Xu Yun was a cripple, that he couldn't even walk" a bystander muttered, which made a few people nod.

"What do you all know?, hmph I heard he's a cursed child that's why his hair turned white" a middle age man with puckered lips Declared loudly.

"NONSENSE! how can someone blessed by the heavens with such beauty be cursed?it's just too bad he can't cultivate, if not I would have offered my daughter to him for marriage". A woman in a red shenyi with heavy make up and a wine bottle said while taking a sip from her wine.

" What!!!? Cao Xin Shen!!! What daughter are you talking about?? You mean the little fat pig you're training?? Only the heavens know who gave you that chi...thing!!!, do you have a conscience?? Matchmaking your daughter with our young Master " an enraged old man couldn't stand the woman's antics before harshly denouncing her.

"YOU!!!" stunned, she could only look at him with bulging eyes.

"Shameless!" Another man added. As many nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Our Young Master Yun was oblivious of the uproar he had caused by just stepping out of the southern part of the Xu Manor as he was staring once more at the walls of Chengdu.

"Its Just as I remember except it being more real than it was in the game, So much for 94% realism!. 6% is not a Joke hahaha!". Xu Yun couldn't help laughing. The Walls were about 1 meter taller than the game and about 3 times thicker. Even the Gates were imposing despite just being a business city, The guards have more life like expressions too.

There was a queue for those who want to get into the city, many merchants of different shapes and sizes as well as surplus array of goods trooping in and out of the city.

As the people he saw increased, he decided to shut the windows as the carriage made its way passed the Queue at the entrance. A city Guard wanted to stop them but kept shut after seeing the crest at the side of the carriage. Stop them? Nonsense, no one would save him if he incurs an outside Xu family member not to mention those from the main branches. Even the city lord would be all smiles if he was splashed water by the carriage, get angry? If he does he was simply courting death. So the city guard simply became much more busy as he never saw the carriage.

"You there! What? Since when do you get to speak??" The guard went to find a victim to make himself feel better.

"I never said a thing!!!" The victim protested.

"You Dare!!!Calling me a liar!!!courting death!! I, your grandfather will teach you grandson a lesson" pouncing on the man, the guard began to make a scene as Xu Yun's carriage grandly went through the Gates like nothing happened. Naturally all this were noticed by Xu Yun. "Power!" Smiling cruelly as he used to be like that victim back on earth, always ending up as a scapegoat or stepping stone.

"I won't let it happen this time!".
