Onward Towards The Formation Guild

Fang Empire, Shen Zhou Kingdom, Xiao City, City Lords Manor.

A 10 year old youth woke up from his slumber, he sat up, and seeing the empty space beside his bed, he sighed.

'Xiao Rou...' he thought.

Then he went to the bathroom to wash his face, calming the conflicted emotions in his heart.

Afterwards he went out the bedroom and heading towards the Dining Room.

At the dining room,

"Little Shie? Did something happened between you and Xiao Rou? When I invited her for breakfast this morning she denied, she seems upset about something? Do you anything about this?" A middle age woman ask towards the boy, sitting in front of her.

Ye Shie, flinched for a bit. Remembering the events yesterday night he laughed weakly "Hahaha, nothing, nothing, there were just some misunderstandings between us Madam Mei."

Hearing Ye Shie's answer, City Lord Bai beside Xiao Mei, scoffed "Hmph!" but after feeling the glare from his wife he remained silent.

Xiao Mei, looked towards Ye Shie and said gently "Okay, just clear it up soon alright? You guys were so close for the past two months, and seeing you both like this seems unnatural". Although she said those words in her mind she thought 'Oh~ Young Love~'

Ye Shie seeing Xiao Mei's reaction, blushed for a bit. Changing the topic he asked "Uncle Bai? Madam Mei? I would like to go tour around the City today, Can I go?"

Xiao Mei awed while City Lord Bai nodded, then picking something within his pocket, City Lord Bai threw something at Ye Shie.

Catching the object, and seeing it in his palm Ye Shie exclaimed "Noble's Badge!!"

Remembering Scholar Li's words "A Noble's Badge, are special medal owned by a noble. It contains special privileges given towards the owner, and it can be acquired by either by being a Heavenly Cultivator, or by receiving it from a Heavenly Cultivator.

It has 3 known types, The Bronze badge, That signifies King Stage Experts. The Silver Badge, signifying Emperor Experts, and the Gold Badge, from the Saint Stage Experts. The Surname is Encrypted in the middle are the surname of said Experts.

It's special privileges are known world wide. Like in purchasing something, A Bronze Badge, can give a 20% discount, 30% for Silver, and 50% for Gold.

Unfortunately, although this Badges gives enormous amounts of discounts, It only words on Items Mortal Realm Cultivator use, above that, it is useless.

The Badge System was implemented by the Fang Empire's Emperor 10 000 years ago, and up till now, is still a wide known popular system used by all."

"Uncle Li? What if the badges were stolen?"

"Good question. But the Emperor from many years ago already foresaw that coming. Hence, as a safety measure, he and along with many 9 Star Formation Experts, made sure that only the Badge, with a Bloodline Seal on it, could work the rest were all fakes and trash, So worry not."

After breakfast, Ye Shie walked towards the Main Gate of the City Lord's Manor, feeling quite nervous. Because since birth, This is Ye Shie's first time touring such a huge City.

Walking nervously towards the gate, Ye Shie asked the Guards stationed on it directions.

The Guards, were first dumbfounded on where this kid came from. Since all these years of Guarding the Manor, they both haven't seen this kid entering from the Gate. But seeing Ye Shie Exiting from the Manor itself, and him presenting the Noble's Badge, with a Xiao Character on it. The duo became respectful, answering any questions Ye Shie asked. After seeing Ye Shie leave;

"Fin? Who's that kid?"

"Don't know! Let's not ask anymore lest we invite trouble!"

"Agreed"

Then they continued their Guard Duties. Due to City Lord's Bai and Xiao Mei's Cultivation Bases and status, no one would dare provoke or would ever try to rob their manor, for if they do. They might just disappear or die without knowing why.

Ye Shie for the first time in all of his life, finally went outside the Xiao City Lord's Manor. Inhaling a deep breath, his eyes shown his excitement and his smile could not be anymore wider.

Looking at the Wealthy and Grandeur neighbors of the City Lord's Manor, Ye Shie exclaimed in awe like how a country boy would, upon seeing the city for the first time.

He continued walking towards the center of the City. Looking at the stalls, stores, excitedly along the way.

After leaving for a kilometer.

In the Xiao City Lord's Manor's Gate, a scarlet haired beautiful girl walked out. She breathed deeply for a moment, with her face changing into an ordinary one.

Due to cultivating with Ye Shie everyday, and him transferring some of his Qi to her, some sort of spiritual Link formed between the duo, after sensing his directions for a while, she started walking towards him while mumbling "Stupid! Idiot! Why did you leave me alone!? STUPID!" the more she thought about it, the more angrier she became.

"Arghh!! Damn It!" as if exploding, then she ran towards Ye Shie's direction.

1 kilometer in the distance, Ye Shie turned around, and sensing her running towards him, his mood brightened and unknowingly he smiled.

Still continuing towards the center, he walked leisurely.

---

Ye Shie walked continually without stopping, he turned around again, this time sensing Xiao Rou maintaining 500 meters away from him, he sighed.

Noticing the increasing quality and the bustling activity, Ye Shie's mind awed again, with his eyes, observing the products, and buildings along the way.

After walking for about an hour or two. Ye Shie finally arrived, after asking directions many time, he finally arrived. He exclaimed in awe upon seeing the majestic and huge 500 meter tower in front of him.

The building was filled with different ornaments, with a specific pattern on it. Runes floating around, and the whole tower was colored black. A top the tower a shining orb could be seen with many black runes orbiting around it. Sometimes forming into a sphere, sometimes in a line.

Ye Shie noticed that there are empty spaces 40 meters around the tower, and seeing the grand entrance with almost no one coming in and out, in contrast from the buildings surrounding it, he wondered.

After wondering for a bit, Ye Shie walked into the Entrance, seeing the Ancient Tablet with words "Formations" on it, written in a domineering and majestic way. Ye Shie couldn't help but be amaze.

Upon looking further, Ye Shie felt something differently about the tablet. Sometimes the words would disassemble into tiny little words, But upon rubbing his eyes, the phenomenon disappeared as if it never happened in the first place.

Ye Shie stared at the entrance, and seeing the golden runes neatly arranged around it, he sighed in amazement.

Ye Shie entered the building, while stepping inside, he felt something covering him for a bit, but after stepping forward the feeling disappeared.

Seeing the grand and luxurious lobby, he awed again. There were people sitting on the chair, some meditating, some staring dazedly at the ceiling, some waiting patiently.

Seeing Ye Shie entered, most of them looked at him for a moment, with half of them raising their eyebrows, while others, stared intently frowning, after a while, they then continued doing their own business, ignoring him.

With his heart filled with excitements, and his eyes shining Ye Shie walked towards the receptionist considering the new things he might encounter.
