At Such A Young Age.

Up ahead, a huge city gate could be seen with people going in and out of the city. Guards could also be seen standing besides the gate and on the city wall.

Ye Xun walked through the city gate stepping into the city. Many people could be seen going about their daily business, children playing and guards patrolling the streets.

He was hungry after walking a long distance from the sect to the city so he decided to eat. He looked around for where to eat. He saw an inn which he walked into. The inn looked beautiful and the atmosphere was lively, some group of men could be seen gathered together drinking and discussing. Once in a while some life will burst out from the group.

....

A very beautiful woman with an hour glass figure walked up to Ye Xun.

"Hello sir, are you looking for a room. We have one of the best rooms in the city and at an affordable price" the woman said when she was in his front.

"No, I just want to eat. I'm very hungry" Ye Xun replied.

"Okay then. Please look at the menu over there and let me know when you're ready" the woman said pointing towards the menu.

"Okay" Ye Xun looked at the menu and placed his order.

"Please come inside sir and have a seat. I will bring the food to you when it's ready." the woman said and went to the kitchen.

Ye Xun looked around and found and empty table chair, he walked towards it and sat down. He looked around the inn, observing the people.

He waited for a while before the woman brought his food to him. Looking at the steaming food, Ye Xun's mouth could not help but water. He smelled the food which gave a very wonderful aroma.

He started devouring the food immediately the woman dropped it on the table not caring about his eating attitude.

The woman stood there surprised by how fast Ye Xun was eating his food. Few seconds later a smile could be seen on her face as she was happy watching Ye Xun eat.

Ye Xun finished the food in no time and could feel that his stomach was full. He looked at the woman standing before him, remembering how he was wolfing down his food he could help but feel embarrassed.

He paid for the food and remember that he still has to gather information. He looked at the woman and decided to ask her.

"Miss, what's the name of this city" Ye Xun asked.

"This is White Rock City" the woman replied.

"Okay but are there any other cities apart from this one close here and do you know where the Green Sky Forest is? " Ye Xun asked.

I'm sorry but I have been living here most of my life and have never left it to explore so I'm not quite knowledgeable about other cities apart from our White Rock City but I've heard some people talking the Green Sky Forest. It's said to be located 20 miles west of the city and it's occupied by a lot of spirit beast. Most hunters usually go in groups because of how dangerous the forest can get sometimes."

Ye Xun listened to the woman until she was done talking. He started thinking of the world he reincarnated into but he does not seem to have any information about it except that it was a cultivation world.

"The Green Sky Forest is a very dangerous place where only cultivators that have gotten to the spirit gathering stage can only go to. It has a very large of population of spirit beast especially in the outer region but if you want to go there it advisable to form a group with other cultivators." the woman continued seeing Ye Xun face.

"Okay but how long will it take me to get to the Green Sky Forest by foot" Ye Xun asked. He understood why the elder in the mission hall was telling him to be careful when he wanted to take the mission.

"It will take you 5 hours" she replied.

"Okay then, thanks you for the information. I will be taking my leave." Ye Xun said and stood up from his chair.

When he left the restaurant the woman looked at him pondering "I told him that only cultivators at the spirit gathering stage can venture into the Green Sky Forest but he still plans to go ahead. Had he reached that level already? No, it can't be. He looks too young. I am not a cultivator but I know from people that it take 30 years to get to that level even for a genius it takes 25 at most. Such a mysterious fellow. Ahh"

The woman couldn't help but sigh after not finding answers to her questions.

....

By that time Ye Xun have left the vicinity and have started walking towards the exit of the city. He plans to complete his mission before night fall because he does not want to spend his time in the forest as he feels like he still has to cultivate.

He left the city and walked towards the forest. He could see a lot of people ahead of him. He continued walking until he caught up to them. From their appearance he could see that they were also cultivators, he decided to walk along with them. Though he doesn't want to join a group but he still needs to gather information.

Looking at a middle aged man, Ye Xun walked up to him.

"Senior are you heading to the Green Sky Forest too?" Ye Xun asked when he got close.

The man looked beside him and saw a teenage boy wearing a sect robe, he didn't care about the sect robe but he was curious about the boy's age. He deduce from his appearance that he could be between 17 to 19 but he couldn't understand why a young boy like him will be asking about the Green Sky Forest that only cultivators at the spirit gathering stage would dare go into.

He didn't want to believe that Ye Xun had gotten to that level because it took him 28 years to get to that level and he was considered a genius among his peers. He know that in the cultivation world appearance could be deceiving.

He decided to ask Ye Xun instead of thinking too much about it.

"Yes I'm going to the Green Sky Forest. Are you going there too?"

Nodding his head Ye Xun answered "Yes senior I'm going to the Green Sky Forest"

"You should know that the forest is a very dangerous place and only people at the spirit gathering stage can enter it because that's when you will have enough strength to battle those spirit beast." the man said after confirming his suspicious that Ye Xun really want to go to the Green Sky Forest.

"Senior you do not need to worry because I am already in the spirit gathering stage" Ye Xun answered.

The man paused and looked Ye Xun with a questioning gaze and asked "what's your age young man?"

Ye Xun didn't understand why the senior was asking his age but he still replied "I'm 17 senior"

"What!!!! You're 17. How is it possible that you got to the spirit gathering stage at a such a very young age." the man stood here with a dazed look on his face. His body was trembling slightly and he couldn't seem to be able to control himself.

"He got to the spirit gathering stage at a very young age. When did the Great Sacred Sect start producing genius of this level?. No this one is a monster. I really need to investigate this boy and know his identity." He thought to himself as he looked at Ye Xun and decided to shut up and continue walking.

........

By that time they have walked a very long distance and the shape of the forest could seen from afar with a lot of people setting up tents.

Ye Xun and the man decided to increase their speed as the both wanted to leave the area before nightfall.
