Chapter 4

Bing followed the maid for over an hour taking breaks every now and then so the maid could catch her break. "cultivators are so strong can't believe you aren't even tired after all this walking" the maid said after getting back up to walk.

"Oh this walk is nothing sister…" Bing asked for the name of the maid "oh I'm sorry for not introducing my self sir Bing my name is maid Hua" "sister Hua…how long will it take to reach the main building?". "Sir Bing do not worry 10 more minutes and we will reach the main building"

9 minutes later a building had appeared in front of them and soon they had reached their destination after an hour long walk. The maid greeted the guards and kept walking towards the young masters room, after reaching the room she left Bing and left to do her job.

Bing looked at the maid walking away and his eyes didn't move away until she had left. "Wow I haven't seen that many females especially someone as beautiful as her" he thought before walking in after he knocked.

"Come in" a voice from the inside spoke and he walked in, what greeted him was a 17 year old man, he looked young but he knew he was 17 because 2 years ago he was 15 and had entered the body refinement realm and now he seemed to be at the peak of the 1st level of the body refinement realm.

"So your Bing? Hmm okay your qualifications aren't bad, after you enter the academy you will have to reach the body refinement realm before you turn 20 or you won't be able to follow me" the third young-master Shen Lou spoke, he had a calm aura with a tinge of coldness he seemed well mannered and not arrogant.

"Young-master do not worry I will enter body refinement realm before 20 you have my word" Bing shouted with full confidence. "Good, confidence is good, now I shall give you the surname of the Lou family unless…you want to take your parents surname?" "I will forever be indebted to Lou family but please let me keep my family name alive" Bing kneeled down.

"From now on your name will be Luo Bing" Bing was surprised that their surname was only 1 letter switched, Luo and Lou. "Currently the school is in break and we will return in 3 months try to reach the middle level of the pre body refinement realm". "Yes young-master".

"You will live next door to me and when ever I go out you will follow me and at other times focus cultivating" after agreeing Bing left and went to the room next to Shen Lou after entering he got back to cultivating 9 hours later he got up at 3am he didn't feel tired at all now and even felt more refreshed he also hadn't been eating much food but he didn't starve but he kept his water bottle on him and drank regularly. At 7 in the morning he heard a knock coming from the door and quickly opened the door to see Shen Lou walking away, he followed him through the hallway and kept his distance to the dining room.

He sat down across from Shen Lou in a round table. "Chef get us some food" Shen Lou yelled out which he got a yes young-master as a reply. As time passed more people entered 2 people came to their table and sat down. "Brother who is he?" "My new guard" Bing didn't talk as he had no where to jump in any of their conversations, soon the food arrived it was wild beast meat and some spirit herbs and plants.

Bing started eating while still listening to their conversation, the 2 people that sat with them were the young misses of the Lou family, one of them was Shen Lous twin and the other one was only 12 years old. The twin sisters name was Xin Lou and the younger ones name was Yin Lou.

Xin Lou cultivation base was close to Shen Lou cultivation base, while Yin Lou had entered early pre body refinement realm, Yin Lou talent was considered bad so she was taught to become a political influence of the kingdom. After eating Shen Lou visited his father who was the patriarch of the Lou family Bing had to kneel in his presence so he did.

'Ugh this is so boring' Bing got tired of following Shen Lou around very fast except when they went to the training ground. "Okay let's spar Bing" Shen handed Bing a wooden sword and grabbed one for himself. 'I wonder how good his swordsman ship is considered to mine' Bing wandered as he got into his battle stance, he had never fourth someone so his experience in fighting people was horrible so he decided to let Shen Lou attack first.

"Alright here I come" Shen Lou roared and pounced, he didn't use his full power as this was just a spar so Luo Bing could have a chance in defending him. Bing saw Shen c9ing towards him but it was slow for him and he could see all his weak points but instead of attack he dodged and defended to build up momentum then fwoosh he knocked back Shen Lou.

"Good good, but how did you learn swordsmanship?" "I have learned from the guards that spar I have watched them for 4 years so I got somewhat of an idea". Bing had forgotten that he had touched a sword for the first time for Shen Lou he decided to go easy in the next few rounds and let Shen Lou win.

"Not bad you should practice more, you can come here in your free time if you want" 'to what expose my self?' After the spare Shen went off and practiced his sword techniques by himself and Bing sat down and started cultivating he didn't feel that tired when cultivating longer now and he was sure to break into the peak of pre body refinement realm before 3 months.

1 week passed and he became familiar with almost everyone in the main building, he sparred with Shen sometimes and also Xin and he played with Yin when she was bored over all it wasn't bad but his yearning kept growing he wanted to go outside and go on an adventure but he was cooped up in the main building.

*main quest unlocked, because of the hosts boredom system decided to cheer you up, once you reach body refinement realm you can spin the Gacha*

"What is a gacha system?" *it is a roulette you can spin for a reward ranging from a mediocre pill to a godly mount* Bing became excited the system seemed to know how to motivate people and Bing got to cultivating quickly.

Just like that 2 months passed by and Bing opened his eyes to a knock on the door and got up to follow Shen Lou.
