Brothers for life

“I am Xuan ping, and why do you want to meet me?” he asked, confused and scared at the same time.

“If you don't mind, may I have a speech with you,” he replied.

“No problem...” then they both walked towards a corner alongside Fei fei.

He bowed a bit and apologized for the things his tribe men made him and his crew pass through, then he continued.

I heard this cultivation art was given to little fei as a redemption gift from you… if you don't mind, may I ask where you got this cultivation art from?

I knew that was where he was going to Xuan ping thought… yes the cultivation art was given to fei fei by me, he answered, but it won't be convenient for me to tell you where I got it from, please don't be annoyed.

Hmm… he sighed, since young master Xuan does not want to talk about it, then I won't force it, everyone has his or her secret, so I won't probe any further.

I was merely curious since it had been a thousand years since this art has last surfaced, once again, thank you and I apologize for what you passed through. The celestial spirit clans door is always open to you and the whole clansmen will always be of help to you whenever needed.

Whereas Xuan ping was a bit deep in thought as to the manual being surfaced after more than a thousand years... he began to imagine how old the emperor would be now if he were still alive.

“I really appreciate, but is that spirit art that important to your clan?” Xuan asked.

“Yes, young master Xuan, it is a long-lost cultivation art of our spirit clan which our ancestors cultivated to rise in power in the entire of the spirit realm and I never expected it to come as a gift from you, once again, I really appreciate” He bowed.

[“What! So, the cultivation art was essential and I gave it out as a gift? What a loss.”]

Young master, if you don't mind, would you like to come back to our clan, so we can entertain you and your crew well before you continue on your journey…he said, hoping for a positive response?

“Hahaha, I don't think there should be a need for that since where are already closer to our destination and I won't like to waste any more time since I have something crucial to deal with.”

Hmm, although he was sad about the response he got from Xuan ping because it felt like he was still angry with him, but there was nothing he could about it... since you have said, so then I wish you a safe journey.

And by the way, I hope you and your clansmen would put an end to the act of making use of the yang to supplement the yin.

The head of the celestial spirit clan, understanding what Xuan ping said, replied honestly, saying... “from henceforth there is a ban on the use of the technique and any clansmen caught using the technique will be banished from the clan immediately.”

“Hahaha, they both laughed as they walked together back to the crew.”

And by the way, young master Xuan, we the celestial spirit clan will head to the spirit realm to reclaim what is rightfully ours once we have cultivated strong enough to take control of things and if by chance you come to the spirit realm it would be an honor to receive you as our supreme elder... he and fei fei alongside the other clansmen bowed immediately stretching forth the token signifying the supreme elders position.

“Damn, Xuan ping was fucking shocked at the proposal, but what could he do since this would be a little of what he would achieve in the nearest future.”

He collected the token and said... It will be an honor to be a supreme elder of the celestial spirit clan... Hearing what Xuan ping said, the clan's head was thrilled, even fei fei was blushing at the fact that she will be able to meet Xuan ping again.

“Thank you very much, Xuan ping said.”

“Don't forget your promise, young master Xuan… I mean supreme elder.”

Xuan ping laughed and said, "not at all, little fei, I will always put you in mind.”

She blushed and hurried back to the horse, while Xuan ping and the clan's head bid themselves bye for the last time.

Xuan ping returned to his crew only to notice a spectacular gaze from them, immediately he shouted, "let continue on our journey” for them to snap out of it.

********

Young master Xuan, it is all thanks to you, we were all able to overcome bad situations, and now we have successfully completed the journey.

“Hahaha, it all due to our perseverance and endurance that helped us all, so I alone do not deserve the credit.” Xuan ping replied.

“Master Xuan, you are too modest, so we shall bid our farewells here, and I hope fate brings us together again in the future.”

“Same here, uncle, take good care of yourself.”

As they all left, Xuan ping felt a purpose of the journey had been achieved.

By the way, now I have gotten to the mountain I wonder how things will be since my main reason for being here is to cure my dantian to make cultivation possible, now that I'm able to cultivate won't old Taoist Jun find it strange and begin to ask questions I won't answer.

Anyway, I just have to keep my mouth shut since I already made a promise.

Come to think of it, I never expected this place to be so exceptional for its kind, and it even has so many peaks... Hmm, such beauty. Xuan ping, who was lost in thought, was brought aback by an old man's voice.

“Who goes there?”.

“He looked around but could not see anyone, so he replied, Good day senior I am Xuan ping from the white lotus sect and I came here on the order of the white lotus sect master to seek the old Taoist jun.

“You seek the supreme being?”

“[Supreme being?] Yes, senior.”

“Do you have a pass?”

“Yes, senior, but since I can't see you, how are you going to verify it?”

“About that, just stretch the pass in your hands I will see it”

“He stretched forth his hand, showing the pass right in front of a big door made of rocks… this sect is really strange. I wonder how many experts will be in this sect.”

“You can go now, said the young man as the big gate opened”.

“Thank you senior,” he passes the door going through the corridor his jaw dropped at the sight of the training ground, disciples cultivating diligently with discipline while some were studying with discipline.

A scene he rarely saw in his sect even if he doesn't come out often. Then he began to wonder whose disciple would be stronger (his sects disciple or this sect's disciple) not long after, he was snapped out of his thoughts with a terrible punch right at his face.

“Who the heck do you think you are acting all high in someone else's territory?”.

This kid seems to have a deal with temper, could it be that he was talking to me while I was deep in my thought and misunderstood it for arrogance, it seems I also have a deal with my thoughts… he sighed?

“I am Xuan ping”

“Junior brother Xuan, I was talking to you, and you were ignoring… he said, acting a bit cocky”.

[This cocky little bastard, what right does he have to call me Junior.]

“I apologize, it is not what you think, I was just lost in my thoughts”.

*********

“Xiao feng".

“Yes, master... he answered politely”.

The person I await have arrived go welcome him.

Ok master, he left to welcome to guest only to meet Xuan ping, really surprised he shouted.

“Brother Xuan! Brother Xuan!".

“Ha, it is senior brother Xiao, nice to meet you once again.”

“No, no no, I am the one happy to see you again because I thought otherwise back in the secret realm, I really am sorry I couldn't come to your aid”.

“No problem senior brother, at least here I am safe, sound, and healthy, so all is well.”

As the person trying to bully Xuan ping saw the kind of relationship being portrayed between the sect master's disciple and Xuan ping, immediately he backed off.

“By the way, little brother, what are you doing here?" Said Xiao feng.

"Oh! Me? I was just exchanging pleasantries with that brother over there," Said Xuan ping as he looked over and smirked seeing how scared he had gotten.

Anyway, just stay around, I want to go meet with someone immediately.

“Wait, before you go, brother Xiao show me where to meet with old Taoist jun.”

“My master? wait! So, you are the guest to be welcomed anyway let us go and by the way, I have explained your situation to master, and he claims to have a solution to your dantian.”

“Thank you, senior brother”.

[Aren't I really in trouble today?]

As they got to the old Taoist jun abode, they bowed immediately while Xiao feng told his master Xuan ping was his sworn brother who he explained his situation to.

“And you are from the White lotus sect?” Asked the old Taoist.

The voice resounded in Xuan pings ear, if the old Taoist had not held back a bit, Xuan pings eardrum could have bursted.

The voice holds power. Xuan ping thought, is this the person I'm trying to keep a secret from… I am doomed.

Hmm, old Taoist jun sighed and asked calmly, “how come I feel the heavenly QI emitting from your body.”

“Damn! I am doomed and I knew it”.
