8 Mysterious old man

After saying that the old man disappeared and no one in the crowd noticed him. After elder Xiao went to do his work the Li family went to explore the city. They were very excited to see various stalls, restaurants, big buildings and other things. At the same time Li Xiu felt something. Something was calling Li xiu and his lavender eyes glowed. His parents noticed it and Li xiu told everything that Li xiu felt. His parents were worried but thinking about the token Elder Xiao had given them, they were less worried. Li Xiu felt as if the thing was guiding him to it and he decided to take the direction that the thing was showing him. His parents also followed him and they ended up in a less crowded place of market. There were several stalls selling many things and Li xiu pointed on an small stall.

In the stall was an old man whose cultivation was peak Xintian which was pretty normal cultivation here. In his stall were normal Mortal grade herbs. Li xiu went to the stall and picked up a herb. The herb was nothing special and looked like mortal grade mid tier herb purple ginseng. The old man than said this herb is a purple ginseng that he found in spirit mountain. This will help in treating stabilizing qi after breakthrough and also help in strengthening the body. This only cost 19 low grade spirit stones. Gold and spirit stones were the main currency of the world. In Zhou kingdom they used gold as spirit stones were rare but here spirit stones were needed to trade. Spirit stones are heaven and earth treasure formed in spirit vein. They contain pure spirit energy which can also recover qi. So spirit stones are used as a currency and to heal qi. Spirit stone are divided into 4 grade that are low, mid, high and top. The price that the old man offered was reasonable for a mid tier mortal grade herb. Elder Xiao had given them 10,000 low grade spirit stones and space ring( a ring used to store thing).

Li Xiu's parent thought that the old man mistook that herb for purple ginseng. If Li Xiu wasn't attracted to the herb, they would have thought it was a purple ginseng. So they bought it for 19 low grade spirit stones and Li xiu kept it. Li xiu and others went to explore the city. When the Li family were gone, that old man had a smile on his face and said," Let's see how this brat grows." After saying that the old man disappeared.

After exploring the city, Li Xiu and his family went to Myriad sword sect's branch . Here they saw many powerful cultivator who's cultivation was at least primordial soul realm. A spirit core man and woman with 3rd stage Houtian realm child ( Li Xiu's cultivation was suppressed ) in this place filled with powerful people were nervously walking and many people looked at them but their interest died quickly. Li family walked up to the receptionist. The receptionist was a peak primordial soul and he looked at them with disdain and said angrily, "What are you here for ?". But when Li Yan showed Elder Xiao's token and said," Take us to Elder Xiao", the receptionist immediately changed his tone and respectfully said, " Sorry guests I failed to

recognize you. I will take you to Elder Xiao."

After that the receptionist took them to Elder Xiao's room . Elder Xiao had jade slip in his hand and when he saw Li Yan and his family coming here with receptionist he put the jade disk away and appeared next to Li family in an instant. The receptionist was shocked to see the usually proud and arrogant elder Xiao to treat Li family like this. Was this still the feared Elder Xiao he knew? His thoughts were interrupted by Elder Xiao who said," Get out of here and arrange room for these three." The receptionist bowed respectfully and went away from the room.

Then Elder Xiao looked at the Li family and said," I have contacted the sect master of our sect and he wants me to bring Li Xiu quickly. We will leave tomorrow morning." After saying this Elder Xiao ordered the servents to take the Li family to their room. Unknown to all of them the same old man was listening to their conversation all along but no one even Elder Xiao didn't notice it. The old man muttered, " So this brat is joining Myriad Sword Sect, Chu Feng you are really lucky. " After saying this the old man disappeared.

At the room, Li xiu was playing with the purple herb in his hand. On the surface the herb looked like mid tier mortal grade herb purple ginseng but Li Xiu knew it wasn't simple. At the same time Li Yan and Zhou Lin came to the room and said to Li Xiu," We forgot to tell Elder Xiao about this. Anyway let's speak to him about tomorrow. Li Xiu, it's time for you to sleep." After that Li Xiu went to sleep. Even though cultivator at Li Xiu's level can stay awake for 2 weeks without any sleep, Li Xiu still slept because he was a child and he needed to sleep to develop his body.
