It's beer time, baby!

A Week Passed.

Over the vast array of mountains, all varieties of birds can be seen chirping under the splendid hue of morning sunshine.

Towering trees spread over to a great length, covering all the ground with a glimmer of light. A magnificent path lay bare in the middle of that overly dense bundle of trees. At the end of the path, a rundown house stood as quiet as an undying sky.

...

An otherworldly sensation suddenly erupted in Lin Yan's body, constantly surging a longing pleasure that was similar to a burst of ejaculation. But as it says, a not earned happiness doesn't stay forever was very likely true even in his current world. All the sudden pleasure that filled Lin Yan's body went away like it was never there in the first place.

This feeling is kinda addictive.

While not disappointed even a bit, Lin Yan unhurriedly stood up and admired his body as he looked down, only to find the faint abdominal muscles that had started to take form. Since Lin Yan became a cultivator and began to flow True Wood Qi through his meridians, he noticed that his physique was getting better day by day.

Lin Yan got dressed up and came outside from his house. As he breathed in the fresh air as deeply as he could, a contented and delightful smile soon appeared on his face.

Lin Yan clenched both his hands into the fist tightly and as he did that, he could feel the profound strength that was building up in them.

This much muscle power is almost two times more than when I was 24 in my previous life.

For Lin Yan, this obvious feeling of an increase in strength was intoxicating him. Glimpsing in the direction from where the sun was going to appear, he interpreted that there was still some extra time before he had to go to the Servant Hall. So, he began to run around the mountain field that was in front of his house in the hope of supplementing his stamina to not embarrass himself in the future.

Yesterday, his senior brother Fei told him that the sect would be going to distribute their income for this month today, so he was pretty excited about it.

After running to his heart's content, Lin Yan came back to his house and opened a wooden barrel full of beer that he purchased a few days ago with the remaining twenty silver coins he had left from the previous month's income.

He licked his lips with anticipation as he grabbed a wooden mug placed on the window and filled it to the brim with Red Beer that looked more like an ale than a beer.

Lin Yan was surprised to know that there was beer in this cultivation world because people here especially lived in pre-medieval times. From his Senior brother Fei, he got to learn that the concept of fermentation was also used to produce the beer that he was gulping down. Its main source was fruits that were abundant in quantity so it was quite cheaper than he thought it to be.

Ooh yeahh~ Light and delicious just like yesterday.

As Lin Yan finished drinking the beer, his mind became ten times clearer than when it was a moment ago. Not sparring a single second he quickly sealed the barrel, scared that he might finish the whole thing if he snapped suddenly. It was like a month's ration for him due to the insufficient money situation he was in currently.

Forcing his body to move he quickly came outside. Feeling the faint breeze hitting his face, Lin Yan began to run towards the Servant Hall.

He soon arrived at his destination.

He noticed that all the servant disciples were happily coming out from the servant hall holding a pouch full of gold coins in their hands. He remembered that his monthly income was ten gold coins which was quite a hefty sum for a servant like him but something just didn't add up in his mind.

If Lin Yan joined the sect a year ago then... shouldn't he have some savings? What the f..k did he do with so much money?

Lin Yan was contemplating the issue and unknowingly a face soon materialized from the original Lin Yan's memories in his mind.

Ooh, so that's how it is.

Lin Yan grinned madly as he understood why he was so poor despite earning so much money for over a year.

He was infuriated and felt somewhat pity toward previous Lin Yan who acted like a pushover all the time in the past. He thought of a plan on how to deal with the money situation before he moved toward the only line that was formed at the front of a counter on the right side of the servant hall.

A six-foot-tall young man was behind the counter distributing the money to the servants one by one at a time. Lin Yan recognized him from his memories as his senior brother Wang Li who was also in charge of the Servant Hall.

Soon after waiting for a few moments, It was Lin Yan's turn to receive his share of the money.

"Name and Age." Wang Li asked Lin Yan, obviously not caring to remember a lowly servant like him.

Lin Yan answered him politely, "Lin Yan and sixteen years old."

Wang Li noted his name and age and confirmed his name's authenticity by inspecting his original record diary. After he confirmed that, not giving it another thought, Wang Li grabbed one of the coin-filled pouches beside him and threw it towards Lin Yan's direction.

"Next" Wang Li ordered as Lin Yan caught the pouch and turned to move toward the entrance door.

Today was everyone's free day since all the older servant disciples had to visit their family too so it was decided by the sect to declare the income day as the holiday for the servant disciples. Many of them had a family so it was kind of necessary to provide them leave once a time over a month.

Lin Yan moved outside and spotted Fei Xu conversing with someone whom he had been actually looking for all this time inside the servant hall.

Lin Yan swiftly moved toward Fei Xu and the other person, and greeted them casually, "Senior brother Fei. Senior brother Xiao."

Fei Xu noticed Lin Yan and greeted him back with a smile, "Ooh, If it isn't junior brother Lin. Heh heh, did you get your money too?"

"Yes, senior brother." Lin Yan intentionally tossed his pouch in the air as he answered to Fei Xu, and nodded toward Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan saw Lin Yan's pouch and scoffed at his brain for being so simple-minded. He took a silent glance at Fei Xu who was known for his righteousness and suspended his plan for some time but when he heard Lin Yan say something to Fei Xu, his arms hair suddenly stood up as a shock ran down his spine.

"Senior brother Fei, brother Xiao took my money months ago and has not paid it back since then. What do you think I should do?" Lin Yan said to Fei Xu, his voice slightly louder than usual.

Fei Xu's face grimaced as he listened to Lin Yan said that. He looked toward Xiao Fan and asked him directly, "Did you take brother Lin Yan's money?"

Listening to Fei Xu say that to him with a gloomy look on his face, Xiao Fan denied it outright, "No, no, I didn't. Brother Lin, why are you slandering my name like this? When did I take your money? Are you drunk or something?"

Fei Xu did not know what to do at this point, he was a friend to both of them so he simply couldn't just take sides.

As Xiao Fan did not care about keeping his voice low, as a result, many servant disciples who were near the entrance also began to stare at them.

Lin Yan glanced around him, and he noticed too, that a crowd had started to form near them and could only mock Xiao Fan in his mind to fall under his plan so stupidly.

Haha, you are f..ked dude...

Lin Yan smiled and said something so loudly that whoever was present near them heard him clearly with an obvious shocked look on their faces.

"Alright, brother Xiao Fan. You said it. Now, be man enough, and let's decide it by a sparring contest."
