Chapter 5 - An Exchange of Names with the Saggy Old Woman

The next morning Huangdi Long did not have a good sleep last night. His eyes were baggy and red. He yawned and went to the bathroom to shower and brushed his teeth. Then he went to the living room and was thinking for his next plans. The old woman had yet to wake up as it was quite early.

Huangdi Long's thoughts: "I need to find the ingredients to changing my face as I obtained an ancient face disguise formula in the immortal world, which could change your face to any person without anyone noticing. The face disguise formula is very easy to apply, as I only need to mix the different ingredients into one component, and make it into a cream and then put the cream onto a persons face and knead it and then smear it onto my face and it will keep that face. Any injuries made to the face disguise won't revert back to my old face, as I need to apply the anti-recover cream to revert back to my old face, which is also a very easy process.

If I was not careless and revealed my true face to those immortal bastards. I would, no... It would still be the same as my cultivation stage and Qi were not their match.

In my present life. With my present face, if I meet those 5 black assassins. The only path for me would be death as I am not their opponents in my current state. I need to hold off cultivation, because if I was to practice using the Qi from earth and cultivate. One day, when I return back to the Immortal World. I will still be powerless against them and the event would just repeat itself, and at that time I would probably not get a third life. I need to find an ultimate Qi to cultivate from the beginning, but does it even exist? No, the myth from the immortal world said, that there exists a unfathamble QI in the lower realms, but no one knew if it was just made up or real. It's also the untold secret why the immortal bastards annihilated my entire family and chased me all over the world for my family treasure heirloom. I don't know, if it's in this realm or another, but I can only believe it does or I will have to live the rest of my life as a mortal, which I do not want to."

When Huangdi Long was deep in thoughts. The old woman had woken up and saw him in deep thoughts, then she went and made breakfast and called out to him from the kitchen: "Good morning, young boy. I have made breakfast. Come over and eat."

Huangdi Long woke up from his deep thoughts and said: "Good morning, old woman. Sorry for the trouble and thank you. I am coming right now."

At the dinner table. The old woman asked him, why his eyes were red and had black bags under the eyes. He did not answer, but just looked down on his plate. The old woman felt a bit awkward seeing his action as she was full of energy today. The old woman then changed the topic and asked: "Does the bread with butter and fruits taste good? I am sorry to serve you low quality food as I do not have any extravagant food available. By the way, we have known each other for a short period. We could be called acquaintances. What is your name? And where do you come from? Your parents much be from an outstanding family as they gave birth to a handsome child like you, but that does not make sense as from your appearance..."

Huangdi Long said with a bit of difficulty: "The food tastes very good. The importance in food is not the quality, but being able to quench your hunger. Its deliciousness lies in your heart making the food for me. and that makes it the best and I am very happy, but I am sorry, old woman. I can not disclose my true identity at the moment to you, as once you know it. It will bring you disaster. I can only tell you my name and its Long."

The old woman made a happy expression and said: "I am very happy too, that you liked my food. I won't force you to answer as you have your own secrets. You told me your name, and that's enough for me. Now that we are closer, call me Granny Dandu."

Huangdi Long said with a warm tone: "Thank you Granny Dandu for understanding my difficulty. I have some matters that I need your help with. Do you know where I can find the ingredients: Soft Depleting Powder, Lotus Flower Bloom, Vine Twisting Tongue Pill, Eyes Rupturing Pill, Microfiring Ears Pill and Gaping Mouth Pill?"

Granny Dandu said with a bit of uncertainty: "I am not too sure, but there's a huge pharmacy store in Stardew Street called Faith Pharmacy Store. You could perhaps take a visit there and check it out."

Huangdi Long asked with a hasty voice: "Granny Dandu. Do you have a map of the location?"

Granny Dandu told him that she had a map of Starbright City and brought it to him and pointed out the location for him to see. After he saw the map and the location. He estimated that it would probably take 5 hours to get there, if he walked on foot. He took the map and thanked her and wanted to leave right away, but Granny Dandu stopped him and said: "Young Long'er, Do you have money to buy the ingredients or money for either the bus or taxi? I don't have money for you to buy the ingredients, as they are probably too expensive for my budget, but I have enough money for you to get a taxi or bus."

Huangdi Long rejected her kindness intention, as he knew that she was very poor, and he could not bear to borrow the money and make her life even worse, as he did not have the capability to return the money at his current position. He then left for the location with the long hair covered his face as it was too dangerous to reveal it. On the way to the location he kept thinking whether they had the ingredients or not as they were quite rare in the immortal world, but he could only keep reminding himself that they had it.
