"Ryuu, I hope you are not leaving before saying goodbye to us.", suddenly a voice came stopping their departure.
"Greetings Mistress", Ryuu greeted his teachers, who just gave a warm smile to the red head.
Nuwa: "Remember child your master once promised that he would make you a sword."
Ryuu nodded remembering the promise his master made on the day he gained enlightenment on the Grand Dao of Sword. His teacher Celestia produced a sword kept inside a sheath, it looked like a work of art, this type of Jian, with its jiantan ending in dragon face and a jianpo tied to the neck of the said dragon, hushou was another matter entirely it was bow shaped, and intricate golden patterns drawn on it, Ryuu was mesmerized at the craftsmanship of it, before Ryuu could touch it, Veena held his hand stopping him.
Veena: "Ryuu I know you want to hold this sword, but this sword is special, here take this knife cut your hand then put your blood on the handle of the sword and pour your ki along with it."
Ryuu nodded then taking the knife from Veena's hand made a cut on his hand then followed his teacher's instruction by putting his blood and pouring the ki along with it. The sword gave a golden radiance before its blade shrunk from 80cm to near about 50 cm, Ryuu looked at it with awe before taking the sword from Celestia's hand and pulling it out from its scabbard, he was enamored with the radiance and beauty of his partner, the jianti of the sword had the words, 'ETERNAL GLORY' engraved on it.
Ryuu's eyes moistened at seeing his sword, "Teacher I promise on my name that I Ryuu will work hard to be worthy of my partner."
His teacher's had a look of appreciation. "Let us be off", with that Ryuu's sisters left to board the carriage with Ryuu.
Ryuu turned around and gave his mother a final wave before he climbed in to the carriage with his sisters.
Meanwhile Xiao Xiao was dumfounded, a she watched Ryuu's sword she couldn't help but ask her fellow sisters," The sword is not simple is it?"
Nuwa chuckled before answering her, "No sister it is not, it is a simple Pseudo-Divine level Sword, as Ryuu is not strong enough our husband made it such that the sword spirit will awaken when he is of at least peak Wanxiang Adept, not before it, and it will upgrade to Divine level upon reaching immortal level, as his cultivation level is low it will harm his soul if he was handed a Divine level sword, not to mention currently it is life bound to him."
Xiao Xiao nodded dumbly at that while inwardly thinking, ' Pseudo Divine level!!! Divine level!!!!, I am officially jealous of my own son, a weapon type which grows along with its master, a stuff from fairy tales. Hahahaha I think I am officially insane now. A Pseudo-Divine sword, hahaha.'
Meanwhile Ryuu was completely speechless, at what he saw, where is the carriage that he got into it was a freaking palace, while he was busy staring trying to commit the whole interior into his memory, Shamiran led him by his hands to a spacious room full of food and drinks and made Ryuu sit on one of the couches.
The couches were so soft Ryuu felt himself sink inside one of them, he felt amazed at the softness, even a rabbit has harder fur in comparison to the couch.
Antariskh: "Ryuu you might have noticed the flags as well as the carriage have a certain logo on them even our armor has them."
Ryuu nodded at that he had seen the Yin-Yang symbol surrounded by the divine beast on four cardinal directions.
Antariskh: "Well that is a symbol of a business we have, it is known as, 'SHANGRI-LA PAVILION', our business deals with exchange of various exotic and rare items required by a cultivator, from flora and fauna to techniques, we partake in normal selling like a market to auctions and barter. Another facet of our business is entertainment; we run a restaurant chain side by side. Our 'SHANGRI-LA PAVILION', has its branches in every major cities and capitals of every major power in our plane of existence.
The pavilion was a project started by our mother Veena to earn resources for cultivation in her younger days, which has grown into such a colossal giant later on as our parents joined the pavilion, currently mother passed the leadership of our family business to me, and next to me are my two advisors my sisters.
Now the entire pavilion is divided into 4 parts, Adventurers, Researchers, Workers, and Security.
The Adventurers are tasked with bringing and searching for exotic items, Researchers simply study the authenticity, determine the type, worth, and various other things about any object, Workers are very vital, the range from simple managerial staff to financial staff, as well as simple auctioneers and waiters, janitors etc., Security as the name implies are simple guard who are stationed to take care of idiots trying to mess with us. So far have you understood Ryuu."
Ryuu nodded but a question came to his mind," I understand big sister but why are you telling me this."
Sylvana: "Because brother you being our parent's disciple in future when you roam around the realms you will also represent us and we do not wish you embarrass us by doing something unsightly, another thing is that we hope as our brother you will one day help us in our business so we thought to introduce you to the in and outs of the business."
Shamiran: "Ryuu we are going to meet some high ranking staffs of our business as we discuss plans and other things, during the time you will be respectful, our staffs are all cultivators each stronger than the other and you will be the weakest person in front of them as such you will treat them as utmost respect, you must remember always to address Antariskh by calling her 'Empress', me as First Princess and Shamiran as Second Princess, no matter what do not I repeat do not use any other form of means to address us in front of others or until we give you permission. Also take this parchment, remember to introduce yourself as written in it to others, there are also few do's and don'ts try to remember it."
Ryuu took the parchment with a heavy sigh, all his excitement vaporized completely as he under stood the following few days will boring enough to cause his death. 'I miss home already', he thought with a pout on his face.
