START FROM THE BEGINNING

Outside the Cave 

"Huuummm... I haven't breathed fresh air in a long time. I finally made it out of that rotten cave. But where is this? It seems that this cave is on a deserted island" murmured sura

He also rose into the air to see the surrounding area and used his spiritual sense to detect. "It turns out that it is true that this island is far from human habitation, not even animals live on this island, I don't know what the name of this world is, and the energy of this world is also very thin, it's a wonder that the old man hasn't recovered until now, maybe there aren't many Cultivators in this world" said Sura then left the place.

Looking for a place to live

Sura stepped away from the place and looked for a place to live.

"How can I carry out the message said by senior Azz, if there are no inhabitants here" muttered Sura as he left the island and looked for inhabited land.

Sura used his spiritual sense to detect inhabited land. He saw a small island and a fishing boat that would pass by the island. "I don't want to be conspicuous" he muttered, he stopped on the shore of the island and waved his hand as if he was asking for help from the fishermen. "Ah thank goodness, it turns out they saw me" murmured Sura with relief.

The fishing boat pulled over to pick up the sura and told him to board. He got on while greeting the fishermen. "Greetings gentlemen, thank you for your help in allowing me to come aboard this ship" said Sura while introducing himself and telling why he was on the island.

"My name is He Sura. I am just a wanderer, but a few days ago my small boat was hit by stormy waves which made me stuck on the island until today," said Sura making up stories so as not to be suspected by the fishermen.

"Greetings young master, we see from your clothes it seems that young master is not from the small people like us" said Fisherman I (Captain of the ship).

"Yes, young master, there is no need to hesitate and thank you, it is only natural that we provide help" continued Fisherman II (Navigation Expert).

"Ah .. how can I not say thank you, you have given me help without thinking first, what if it turns out that I am a gang of robbers? you might get bad luck" said Sura responding to the fishermen's words.

"If that happens, then it is our destiny, the principle of our life as fishermen is to do the best we can and as much as we can, if bad luck befalls us, then it is destiny" said Fisherman I (Captain of the Ship).

"I didn't expect you fishermen to have such an extraordinary breadth of heart, and accept fate with sincerity". "You are true warriors" replied sura praising

"Hahahahahaha..... Young Master is too complimentary" continued Fisherman I (Captain of the Ship).

"Sorry if it's rude, can I ask the names of these fishing masters?", "It's not very good if I don't know the name of each of you", and "Where is the destination of this trip sir?" asked sura continuing the conversation

"Oh yes, introduce my name Zain, I am the captain of this boat, this is my navigator Luis (greeting), and these three people are my crew Anton, Anke and Juan (greeting each other) they introduced themselves to sura.

"We are going home to Pasuruan. We've been fishing for a week, and our fish crates are full. We should have gone home earlier two days ago, but as you can see, two days ago there was a crazy storm so we had to stop and dock at a nearby island," Zain explained. "We're almost there, probably about a quarter of a day away". "You can come with us to Pasuruan, and if you want to continue your journey there are also transport ships" he continued.

"Thank you for the information Mr. Zain, I will also stay and try to make a fortune there, who knows I'm matched with that place" said sura conveying his intentions.

"Hoho... so you want to try to settle there, no problem, if I may know what you want to do there, oh yes just call me brother Zain, I seem to be a few years older than you" asked Zain.

"Yes Brother Zain, I want to try a new atmosphere, I come from a distant place, I can provide help to the sick, and please call me Sura" said Sura.

"Wow... Sura's brother is a medicine man apparently, in Pasuruan there is no one who works as a medicine man, all medicine men are obliged to join the kingdom, the duke's hall and the city hall, so many people do not get good help. and one more thing, we little people have to pay a lot if we want to get help from the medicine men. Since they joined the government, they only want to serve nobles, scholars and the government. So they feel soaring and feel they have the upper hand. and consider the lives of us little people meaningless in front of them. Maybe Sura's brother is the answer to our prayers all this time" said zain explaining the situation.

"Why does the government treat them differently?" asked Sura, surprised to hear Zain's brother's words.

"What else if it's not because the number of medical experts is limited, every year, the number of medical experts who graduate and join the college is counted, most of the students who join take martial arts and literary arts colleges. There aren't many graduates in the medical field, not because there isn't much interest but because not many pass the entrance examination to enter the medical field. Most of the people who pass are quite old. That is the reason why there are so few medical experts," Zain continued to explain.

"Did the king not notice that?" sura continued to ask, out of curiosity.

"I don't know, the king only cares about war, power and his personal glory, maybe he never thinks about that". "I hope dik Sura is not influenced by that, and changes his mind so that dik Sura prefers to join them. If dik Sura wants to become a medicine man in our village, maybe dik Sura will be a blessing for us" Zain pleaded hopefully.

"Hmmmm....I really don't know about this. Kak Zain don't need to worry about it, I don't intend to join anyone. I just want to be free and independent." "Can I ask you one more question?" sura asked.

"Go ahead sire, whatever it is I will try to answer it to the best of my ability and knowledge" Zain responded.

"If I may know, what are the current levels of martial arts experts in the royal capital, provinces, cities and villages?" asked sura curiously.

"I don't know what stage the supreme expert in the kingdom is, but the King is currently at the Early Stage Dantian Stage, the Governor is required to be at the Soul Training Stage, and the City Hall is required to be at the Body Training stage, but the current martial artist level in the City Hall is the Mayor of Alba named Sion, he is at the Late Stage Body Training, for the village is currently only at the Martial Warrior realm". "Many Dojos and Sects are established and provide training techniques for martial arts experts. But they only take people with potential, genius and especially those with noble blood and ties to the government. For us little people, there is no hope. Even if there are those who have martial arts skills, it is only from students and teachers who come down the mountain, and even then it is very rare". "The most powerful and largest sect and dojo still standing for thousands of years today is the NUSA Sect and Dojo". "But to enter there is just a dream and wishful thinking". "Huuh...." zain explained with a long sigh.

"Alright kak zain, thanks for the information" said sura.

"What is Sura's brother asking for?" zain asked back.

"Ah... It's okay, I'm just curious, because I just want to live this life with peace, and try to do good for many people" sura replied to zain's question.

"Hahahahaha.... yeah right, that's exactly what we should do". "Alright dik Sura we have arrived, we will dock this small ship to the pier, dik Sura can get off at the pier, and look for a building that says City Administration officer, if dik Sura wants to buy or rent a place to open a medical center, no need to worry, there are no special requirements for that, just need to prepare money for payment" said zain telling sura.

"Thank you brother, for the help of you and your friends" while taking out a gold bar to pay for the ride, 'here is a little token of my gratitude for the help I have received' said sura while handing over the gold bar. "Please accept" he asked.

"No need buddy, we do need the money but we need your help to become our medicine man, so we can easily get treatment. Please keep the money, otherwise if you want to thank us, please don't ignore us" they said simultaneously while giving a respectful greeting.

"Ah. Alright then, brother doesn't need to worry, I will do it. See you and thank you" replied Sura while bowing to say goodbye.

Sura also got off the ship to the dock, looking for the place that Zain's brother had said.
