Mysterious Old Man

"Huuff! Today is the day I officially step into the path of a cultivation" A Handsome young man was trembling from excitement

Path to Immortality or Cultivation was something every mortal dreamt of! How could he be not excited about this

He had heard about immortals living for about 500 years , Having immeasurable strength that could destroy mountains and evaporate rivers with a flick of a hand and this just a portion of tales he had heard of Immortals!

Yesterday was just a normal day for him, he who was a son of merchant family had a lot of wealth in his hand, he wore dazzling robe with exquisite patterns he was a person who had everything in his life power, wealth and enjoyment

He was going for a very important meeting that could profit his family's business a lot just when going to meet them suddenly a elderly man with white hair and white beard came up to me

My guards immediately blocked his way and said that he couldnt pass through here and elderly man just looked straight at me, when I looked into his eye they felt like void that couldnt be seen through

The elderly man suddenly said "Brat do you wanna follow me to the path of Immortality and Cultivation" hearing this my mind suddenly became numb and my guards started laughing

They said "Old man our young master does not have time for your sick joke" the old man just stared at me and said nothing

I also thought he was just sick scammer or an person with mental disease but there was something inside that said to believe him so I asked that how could he prove that Immortality and cultivation exists and not just some tales and stories

After hearing this the old man suddenly smiled but the guards suddenly said that we were going to be late to the meeting if we continue staying here and I also realized that I had forgotton the meeting so I hurriedly told the driver to move quickly to the place of meeting and I gave a final glance to the old person who proclaimed that he was Immortal before finally looking ahead

In the evening I was very happy the deal was successful and I was going to treat myself with the best food and wine but just then I heard something from the forest like noises of someone fighting

I was going to ignore it until an attack flew towards me it was not a normal attack it was like a supernatural power like someone from the tales of cultivators it tore down the trees infront of me flew towards me so fast that I could not even think of anything and I just thought 'Is this the end of me?' just when I thought I was gonna die the old man who claimed that he was cultivator appeared infront of me and deflected the attack

He suddenly grinned at me and said "do you believe me now?"

I was stunned I didnt know what to say this was first time I experienced death this close and said "Yes" although shaking from the near death experience

I asked the Old man what was going on in the forest he replied " A fight between cultivators. Although I don't know why they are fighting this close to mortal settlement "

The old man suddenly said " Now do you want to follow me and join my sect to pursue your path of cultivation or will stay as mortal "

I was stunned before bowing down and said " please guide this junior in the future senior"

After this the cultivator escorted me to my house and said "pack your things and say goodbye to all your family we will leaving tomorrow of course don't say anything about cultivation"

"Meet me at the courtyard of your house tomorrow morning don't be late"

With that the young man was left alone infront of his house and remembered all of todays events and he went inside his house and started packing his things and saying goodbyes to his family under the pretense of 'going to explore the world '

He was little too excited so decided to go to bed early and slept a good night awaiting tomorrows adventurous trip to his sect which would be his brand new home
