20 Visiting The City

Inside a plain looking hut, on a red carpet

Long Chen sat cross-legged, his expression tranquil and serene.

A swirl of Qi energy surrounded his body, swirling around in currents, before it entered his body.

He was constantly absorbing the Qi energy from the environment in a very rapid pace, and you can even see a faint phantom of the revolving cyclone around his body.

The Qi energy continuously travelled throughout his body, sending waves of comfort wherever it went, like a gentle and soft wind that enveloped him, making him feel rejuvenated and bursting with vitality.

After a long while, the Qi energy stopped moving, as he slowly opened his eyes.

A short day of cultivation gave him a rough gauge of how much his improvement can reach

He pulled up his host status.

Host: Long Chen

Age: 13

Cultivation Talent: Mortal Tier 12 (0/150)

Cultivation: Seventh Qi Refinement Realm (300/700)

Skills:

Shadow Sword (Yellow Grade 7): 70/100

Bone Muscle Alteration (Yellow Grade 4): 50/100

Leopard Fists (Yellow Grade 5): 40/100

His panel now had an additional skill, the Leopard Fists.

And in his one day of cultivation, he managed to reach the mid-stage of the 7th Qi Refinement Realm.

At this pace, it would not be long before he broke through into the Elementary Realm.

Long Chen nodded his head in satisfaction, with a slight smile on his face.

He still had the 18 Low-Tier Crystals.

He could either use them to cultivate, or use them to buy items on the market.

Low-Tier Crystals is also used as a form of currency, as a much rarer form of currency within the Wind Cloud City.

Normally, gold and silver were used as money, however, at exorbitant prices, Low-Tier Crystals were used instead.

As for what the exchange rate is, he did not know.

Before he had cultivated, or even tested for his talent, his circle only existed around the low-status people, who obviously did not know of some of the matters of the cultivation world.

And he was always alone, either cooped up in his hut, or going to the forest by himself.

He audibly sighed. It was time for him to inquire about such matters.

He was about to stand up and leave, when he heard a knock on the door of his hut, and a clear sounding voice travelled to his ears, "Brother Long Chen!"

Going over to open the door, he saw Xiao Wan Wan standing at the door. She was wearing a dark red robe, her long hair tied into a ponytail, and looked like she was about to travel out of the Sect.

"Yes?" Long Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'm going out to the city to play today! Do you want to follow me?' She stared at him with bright and sparkling eyes.

The city? In this case, he also could get some information along the way.

After all, Xiao Wan Wan was from a Great Family, and she was bound to know a lot.

"Okay." Long Chen nodded his head in agreement.

Hearing his words, Xiao Wan Wan excitedly grabbed Long Chen's arm, then pulled him over to a hut beside Xiao Wan Wan's, where they was a '3' embedded on it.

Doing the same on Long Chen's hut, Xiao Wan Wan slowly knocked on the door of the hut, and the door opened a few moments later to reveal a cold and flawless face.

Her skin was smooth and silky-white, like a piece of jade, while her expression was as cold as chilling ice, and gave a feeling of a goddess from another dimension - untouchable

It was Murong Xuan.

"Sister Murong, do you want to go to the city and play with me?" Xiao Wan Wan widened her eyes in expectations.

Murong Xuan lowered her gaze to look at Xiao Wan Wan, then shifted her sights towards Long Chen, her eyes slightly opening in questioning.

Long Chen shrugged his shoulders wordlessly, and his eyes turned towards Xiao Wan Wan's short body in answer.

"Okay." Murong Xuan said after a while.

"Really?" Xiao Wan Wan's looked at Murong Xuan incredulously, her eyes widening till the point of bursting.

"You never ever want to come play with me before. You always reject me whenever I asked you out! I wonder why you would want to come this time. I must be really lucky today." Xiao Wan Wan jumped up and down as she cried out joyfully.

After saying this, Xiao Wan Wan did not forget to glance at Long Chen for a while.

Long Chen saw Xiao Wan Wan's strange gaze, but did not think too much about it.

Xiao Wan Wan freed up another one of her small white arms to also grab onto Murong Xuan arms, and then she pulled both of them, one hand on each person, and walked out of the Sect.

Long Chen tried to struggle out of her grasp, but Xiao Wan Wan glared at Long Chen, with her pitiful expression showing of unwillingness, and he could only accept and resign himself to his fate.

In the end, the three of them looked like a family bringing their child out to visit the city, with the tall and elegant Long Chen standing at one side, while beautiful Murong Xuan stood on another, and lastly the short and petite Xiao Wan Wan looking like a child, standing in between them.

The passer-by's who walked past them all gave weird and strange looks, and with Long Chen's acute senses, he could hear some faint words they muttered, like 'Under-age' and 'Uncontrolled youths' under their breaths, while shaking their heads in disappointment.

His face turned absolutely dramatic when he heard this, as he involuntarily turned towards Murong Xuan and found that she was still maintaining her indifferent expression.

However, within Murong Xuan's heart, she felt a rather indescribable emotion, but she still maintained her poise, as she looked like she was disregarding the passer-by's words.

On the way, Xiao Wan Wan was endlessly chattering, pointing towards that and this, occasionally seeing something that caught her eyes, and rushed while also pulling both of towards it.

In the end, he and Murong Xuan seemed more like the kids that were forced out of the home from their parent, their faces adorned with rather stiff and unnatural expressions.

After a while of group shopping, or it could be said, Xiao Wan Wan's shopping, Long Chen hands were now filled with various bags containing accessories and items that he had never seen before.

He was, of course, forced against his will to carry this after Xiao Wan Wan gave him a pitiful and miserable expression, her eyes misty as though she was able to cry.

In the end, in order to pacify her, Long Chen could only silently carry the countless bags for her, while Xiao Wan Wan's expression immediately changed to reveal a brilliant and radiant smile that brightened up the world, looking nothing like a person that was previously on the verge of tears.

Murong Xuan, on the side, silently stared on at this scene.

After what felt like days of walking and shopping, Xiao Wan Wan finally decided to stop her assault, and brought both of them towards a restaurant.
