" Ding dong "
" Ding dong "
Mo Ling set up in bed yawning, that was the sound of the bell rings twice which means to assemble in the square of the compound, today is a special day for him because he reached six years old, he can start working and earning his cultivation needs.
When Mo Ling arrived, the square was full of children who just reached the age of six, the elder who barely able to walk properly, some youths and middle-aged men if you listen to gossip you will find that they offended some higher up people in another word they were banished here.
" Children line up to take your belongings, don't forget to drop a drop of your blood on the register and your bag of holdings "
Mo tun Li is the third high cultivation in the compound; the ninth level of QI condensation, he is taking charge of today dispensation.
Mo Ling put drop of his blood in his bag of holding ; its volume is about the volume of his room ; it is empty except of a jade slip, a QI condensation manual from level one to level five, a bottle full of about twenty pills of QI condensation pill, a magical dagger with some plain cravings.
Mo tun Li says with stern chilly voice :
" From today onward, you are free to enter the desolate mountains whenever you want but at the end of the next six months you must finish your work properly, you just need to inject your spiritual energy in the jade slip given to you ".
He turned ready to leave but stopped suddenly " You can report your work to the collecting hall and receive your rewards in case you finish the work before the six-month delay; earlier the better, earlier the merrier the reward ".
Mo Ling listened to every word attentively, starts walking out of the compound for the first time ; he was three years old when he came here, so he doesn't remember a thing about his family, they told him he was an orphan, he learned the hard way that he must work to have something fill his stomach with, or he has to be strong to live, while remembering those dark days he walked half the city watching, pavilions, markets, ...until he arrived outskirt the city where the desolate mountains.
The mountains were gloomy without a ray of sunlight penetrating the trees, it appears like the sunlight never reached the soil because it was dark but for some bizarre reason it seems rich.
Mo Ling didn't enter, he continues strolling in the city. When the sun starts setting he was already in his room reading the QI condensation manual, because he decided he will enter the desolate mountains when he breaks through the fifth level of QI condensation for two reasons :one is to be safe ; as he is now he can't protect himself against spiritual beasts or even some spiritual plants, the second reason is to benefit from the whole trip ; he read in a book that there are natural treasures that benefit cultivation in the desolate mountains, he won't lose anything if he tries his luck.
