After 5 months of constant training and practice, YingLei have broken through to 3rd stage of body refinement.
YingLei father said:
"Time to go to the academy go pack your luggage."
YingLei rush to his room and packed his luggage. After a few minutes of packing, YingLei and his father walk towards the sage tribe which YingLei have no knowledge of. After 5 hours of non-stop walking they arrived at the gates of the sage tribe. YingLei was shocked as the tribe had proper walls compared to the baron lands were there are only stakes acting as the protecting barrier. The guards at the gate was constantly checking everyone to ensure that there are no malicious personnel. When it was YingLei and his father turn to check, his father flashed a token and the guards immdiately bowed and let them in.
YingLei at the side was wardering what token did his father flashed? Knowing his father never talked about the past or his family at all YingLei choose to respect his decision and not asked about it.
Upon entering the tribe YingLei was shocked to see how large a tribe was and the population easily exceed several thousand. Seeing several people moving past him he was sure their cultivation is higher than his. He followed his father to a tavern near the center of the tribe and was surprise that the tall building he saw when he first step into the tribe was just a tavern as he expected it to be the tribe chief house rather than a tavern. Upon entering the tavern his father proceed to the reception which is manage by a young lady. His father later proceed and flashed the same token again and the lady bowed and guided him to the top floor of the tavern. Upon entering the top floor YingLei say 11 people 10 wearing dull armour with lion head as its shoulder guard with a silver mask while the last person was wearing an armor with cape behind it. Upon seeing his father all of them wanted to kneel before they could his father stopped them.
The leader of the group approach YingLei father and whispered:
"Is he the one?"
To which his father replied:
"Ensure he reached safely."
After which a carriage appeared at the front of the tavern which was a spectacle for all to see as the horses stands out the most, which was due to the light emiting from the horses.
YingLei father told him to get on the carriage as the carriage will take him to the academy. Once YingLei stepped in he realise his father was no going with him. Before he could ask why the carriage took of soon they left the tribe. After one day, they reached the a town which is monitored by a town mayor. After spending several hours to rest and buy supplies for the trip towards the nearest castle. Midway towards the castle they encounter bandits which was easily dealt with by one of the hell guards which shocked YingLei because he could tell this bandits can easily rival the guard of the town manor but yet one hell guard easily kill all of them with one move. YingLei truly wonder who is his father.
During the journey towards the castle YingLei horizon was broaden as his group have constantly encounter demon beast, bandits and merchant trying to take advantage but all made the same fate which is DEATH.
After several days of travelling they have reached the gates of the castle which is managed by a castle lord and 2 large family. Just like every other gates they have to go through an inspection and just like usual everyone is awe by the horses that is pulling the carriage. But unlike others, the soldiers know well enough to not mess with this group just the beast enough was a threat to them but seeing how obedient those beast were to the escort they knew that anyone of them can easily take down the whole castle thus they were respectful towards them while praying noone would mess with them.
But everything in life never goes smoothly, a merchant saw those horse and greed flashed in his eyes so he approach them asked:
" How much are you selling those horses." The leader of the escort said :
"it is not for sales as this horse is required to travel to where they are going." The Merchant insisted on buying the horse without leaving empty handed thus he said:
" I am willing to pay 200 copper for one horse. "
Before the leader could reply, one of the guards was laughing loudly as if noone was listening to him. The merchant had a pissed expression asked:
"Why are you laughing? What is so funny?"
The guards replied:
"Even if you pay with 200 gold all you get is the food for the horse. Yet here you want to pay 200 copper for our horse? Dream On."
The merchant refuted:
"What kind of horse food is so expensive? Even if you are not willing to sell that horse does not mean you can scam me."
The leader replied:
"He did not scam you. The reason for this priced is because this horse had specific diet that required tier 7 alchemist and above to create its food or it will eat dead meat that is killed and because of that the price is high."
The merchant replied:
"Haha, Tier 7 alchemist? what a joke they are legends only idiots will trust your words."
After that the group decided to ignore and proceed, they had wasted enough time with a frog in the well. Seeing that they ignore him the merchant had anger on his face while he decided to steal those horses for himself.
Later that night the merchant when into the stable where those horses are kept he approach them and tried to lead them by the leash. But unexpectedly the horse breath a white light towards him and the merchant died ended up as food for it.
The next day the stable was cleaned of everything as the horse ate the merchant down to the bone thus noone will hear about the merchant anymore.
After they all had breakfast they headed towards the the city which is manage by a baron. After several weeks of travel they arrived. Gates have no guards as the soldier in this city possess an ability that allows them see through thus all they need is a glance to know what is inside. This ability is granted to those who have broke into energy stablize realm. Once they sucessfully entered the city they proceed to sent him to the academy to register and once is done they can finally returned home to which makes the escort happy.
