At dawn,
The young boy woke up, fed the horses, cleaned the stable, then washed his body clean.
Put on new clothes, started the bone fire, and hold the cleaver, cuts the vegetables and puts all the chopped vegetables into the pot which is boiling.
At morning when sun rises, the tavern is open, people from all walks of life come to take a meal.
As usual, morning hours are bustling.
On the front of the door, on the left side, a middle aged man, around age of 30's, sat there, collecting the price as usual.
Per day he earns about 3000 Prime coins. After giving the salary to his workes, he earns about 800 coins. That is to say, income is good, bussiness is booming. He has a happy smile on his face daily and greets the customer, whoever comes in.
Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Everyday these people live in fear for, if one day this tavern is torn down, how will they earn and live. But its not to worry now.
The boss is a kind man and nice person. He gives rewards to his workers fairly.
The tavern is getting busy, orders are coming in, people come and go, in search of this herb.
Making this town a noisy place.
.....
Four days passes by....,
In the mountains,
Where these old people of groups are chatting, some are playing chess made of wood, twigs and leaves.
Some are basking in the sun. Some are drinking wine.
Some are walking around this hut again and again.
It makes the place lively.
Then an old man, with an unkempt hair, bare chest, wearing only dress covering below till his knees, came suddenly near to them checking one by one.
He snatched the wine stealthily and drank it.
"Hmm its good to transform and steal, hahaha."
"Who? Who stole the wine?" Bu zhan shouted and looked at Qi Lu and Zu Bao.
"You, stupid dogs, why did you steal the wine? He shouted angrily.
"Hey, it seems that you have gone senile, how can we steal your wine? Why must we steal?" Qi Lu and Zu bao snorted.
"Can't you keep quiet, now? Why must you make a fuss over this wine, tsk?" Xu shi replied.
Bu zhans shout made these old groups come back to reality as they were having a good time, his shout made their ears itch wanting to beat and smash him to pieces.
"Ok, ok now calm down. Hey kid, it's you right, as soon as you come out, you start stealing? Can't you have some conscience for older generations?" As soon as the old spirit said, these old groups looked at each other and looked at the old man who sat there drinking wine with big gulps, with shocked expression.
"Greetings seniors." He greeted and changed his form to young man. This young man is Xin.
Transformation and turtle breathe are perfect.
"It's you kid, why do you have to steal wine? Bu zhan asked happily.
"Senior, its not that I don't want to steal but I want to see whether my skills have any flaws. If there are flaws then it is likely to fail stealing wine. After I stole the wine from old master Bu zhan, I went around and saw senior sister Hu Yi playing chess with senior sister Ri Wei, who was calculating what move would senior sister Hu Yi make? I saw senior brother Xu shi was still thinking what he should draw on the twig which are fallen on the ground. I saw old master Du Qi was still crafting a puppet from wood. I heard old master Qi Lu and Zu Bao talking about laws" Xin said politely and bowed.
"Good, very good you have made some achievemts, hahahah." Old senior and old chef laughed.
As for other groups they wondered whether they are still dreaming or in reality.
They smiled bitterly and laughed. It's a happy occasion.
"Come, come lets drink wine and party, hahahah." Bu zhan laughed.
"Senior sister likes you more and more, little brother, hihihihihi." Ri wei laughed charmingly.
"Old senior, please clarify my doubts which has been bothering me a long time." Xin said politely.
"Oh! Ask what you need to clarify?"
"Old senior, the techniques for sewing requires silk and alchemy requires fire, where can I get the silk and fire? For this reason, I have not been able to practice. And I also want to practice some other skills such as Close combat and other skills."
"Good you have realised it on your own. Your comprehension is not bad."
Gulping down another wine, he continued, "Kid, do not be hasty. When you go out of mountains, naturally you will find those items you need."
Then he asked: "First, let me ask you, what kind of skill do you want to choose after choosing close combat technique?"
"I haven't thought about it. As far as I am concerned, I am only interested in archery but I feel something is missing it apart from this."
"Yes, you are right. Archery can be used for long distance and quick draw for short distance. But if an enemy has a sword or other evading skills, you are at disadvantage. So here I propose, since you are not interested in other weapons, you can choose double knife skill technique. It's a unique one. And some assasination techniques. As for double knifes, you start practicing with that cleaver and kitchen knife. When you take pick up certain materials you can make you own. As you increase your realm, you can upgrade your own knife with good ores."
