Jiang City

When the group finally reached Jiang City, the first thing that Shu Wei did was to immediately endorse the children to the city guards.

Thereafter, Shu wei looked for an inn just near the city entrance and instructed the twin to cultivate first and attempt to breakthrough to the initial Earth stage.

The twin had long awakened their elemental affinity but because they were orphans, they really didn't have any clue on what to do. Thanks to the father and son duo that they could finally have a chance to breakthrough.

So Shu Wei gave them each 5 pieces of Qi Gathering Pills and carefully taught them the basics of cultivation.

Qai instructed Shandian to stay with the twin inside the room, firstly and obviously, to guard them and secondly because, as Shu Wei suggested, the black tiger might catch the attention of some rich young masters.

Shu Wei once worked for a clan and he knew that the young members of affluent clans' arrogance knew no limits.

The father and son duo then set off to visit large stores and treasure pavillions to buy all the skills in their list. Thus, they actually spent a lot of gold and traded beast cores to procure most in the list.

After half a day in the market, only two items were left to be purchased. They were the new set of bow and arrows, and the sage Earth skill for Shu Wei himself.

"Don't worry Father," Qai assured his father.

"I'm pretty sure we'll find the right skill for you."

"About the bow..," his father said, "..tomorrow I'll visit my old clan and check if the Patriarch can spare me an item from the clan's treasury."

So they went back to the inn just before sunset and took the chance to check the progress of the twin. To their surprise, they really reached the initial Earth stage of Expert realm.

Shu Wei immediately called for an inn servant and ordered to serve them some meals in the room. All of them shared one big room with four beds.

After they had their fill, Qai took out three skill scrolls from his ring. He handed over two scrolls to the twin. They were a rare class 'Basic Alchemy' and a common class 'Cloud Steps.'

***************

During the day in the market, the father and son deliberated that Jing first needed a movement skill. They also bought him a fine dagger for his weapon. Those two items would, without a doubt, be the foundations of his assassin cultivation path.

They also deliberated that Bing, on the other hand, should follow a pure alchemy cultivation path. They didn't want to waste the opportunity of having another alchemist in the family.

***************

The twin politely thanked them.

"Thank you, Patriarch.. Thank you, Young master...," they said in unison while bowing their heads.

The father and son duo wanted to laugh about the 'Patriarch' and 'young master' salutations, as they knew that the twin must have misheard and misunderstood the earlier conversation between them. However, they didn't attempt to clarify things—for afterall, those were part of the long term goal.

The third scroll was for Qai himself.

Shandian who sat beside his master can already feel the aura that the scroll emits. That was because it was a rare class lightning skill scroll.

Qai chose a movement skill for himself as planned. Luckily they found one.

It was a movement rare class skill called, 'Flash.' The skill utilizes the force of lightning to create a powerful burst comparable to famous rare wind skill called 'Blink.'

The only difference was that 'Flash' had an arrogant flare as it would leave bits of lightning on the ground as aftereffect.

After learning the skill, he immediately tried it inside the room.

'Swiiish,' 'Swiiiish.'

The twin were astonished to see how beautiful the activated skill was. They really felt happy as they started to imagine the kind of future they would have.
