Xin adjusted his mood and went to pick up the compass then jade.
When he picked up the jade, he saw there was an illusory figure of his grandpa. The illusory figure saw Xin and showed a pleasant smile.
"Grandpa, where are you now? Why did you leave me this compass? Grandpa, where can I find you?" Xin hurriedly asked.
"Your grandpa is in the other world, don't worry. I am very satisfied with you."
"Grandpa...."
"Listen carefully, I don't have much time. I have only ten minutes and this illusory figure will disapear from this world."
"From the moment you opened my coffin, I know that you will be disheartened. I know that you will have a lots of doubts, but don't worry. This compass, I assume that you know it, as those souls have told you I guess."
"Well, this compass is a legendary treasue, it could said that it bought war and bloodshed for countless years and many have died. To save people from killing each other, I took this compass and exhausted countless resources, and hid it."
Xin nodded like a chicken pecking rice keeping every word what his grandpa had said.
"You...., you..., are that senior from that exterminated clan, how could you be alive?" Qi Lu stammered.
When those words were spoken, all of them shocked. No wonder he has the compass.
For some reasons they couldn't help sigh and lament it. How many individuals are willing to be a saint? Even the top existence might not be willing after all they all stand by benefits and looting treasures.
Once they get news of extinct treasures, those immortals are sure to grab it. They all care for their own selfish desire. They won't even blink an eye even if they murder in a street. These are human nature.
But who is to blame?
"Ohh, it seems that you know me. Well it's in the past. I have long lived my life after that war. It was one of the happiest moments and I don't regret it. Even though my clan was exterminated, I hope that those who participated in it will have retribution."
"Ok, now I have talked too much. Grandson, remember this is compass is a treasure do not take out in front of others."
"Grandpa, how do I hold this compass, it gives me a sense of death" Xin was sorrowful.
"Aishhh, I forgot to mention it. You must do blood sacrifice. Drip a drop of blood on the compass and naturally it will accept you."
"Old Mo, I will leave it to you. Take care. Let's meet someday if we are fateful." The old man looked at the old soul.
The old soul who came out of arrow is named Old Mo, whenever asked his name, he replies call me Old Mo. Don't know why but they eventually called by his request. His name is also a taboo, don't enquire otherwise calamity will befall once his name is known by others unless they have superior strength to block it.
"Are you going now, old Shi?"
"Yeah, I have lived enough, I am tired of it, kindly take care of this young kid, thats my only last request, old Mo."
"Grandpa, grandpa, are you going? Xin was disheartened.
"Yes, your grandpa is going on the other side of road."
"Grandpa what's your surname? Why haven't I heard your name till now?"
"Grandpa doesn't want you to bother with these things but since you are so sincere, I will tell you. Your mother was my old friend's grand-daughter and it's fate that we met on that day. My surname is Shi. I don't know if any of my family members are alive though."
At this moment, his grandpa's illusory figure dimmed a lot and jade was broken into pieces.
Xin was naturally disheartened but he carefully understood.
Now he is not a young kid anymore, he is 10 years old. What he must do now is to increase strength and collect rare treasures for his path of cultivation.
He believed that as long as there is strength, these materials can be achieved.
He cleared up his mind and bites his finger, drips a drop of blood on the compass to acknowledge him as master.
The blood goes around in circles untill it reaches centre.
Slowly, slowly, the blood becomes clear as water then evaporates.
The compass shrinks itself, flies and settles down inside the bow. It seems it needs to hibernate for long time.
Eventhough the compass has spirituality, it is too weak now.
These reactions made by the compass made them speechless as if seeing such a beauty.
Xin got up, piled all things up, including the coffin, burned all the traces.
It is better to be careful rather than making a mistake. If he is discovered, it will be a disaster.
Xin waited untill all things are burned into ashes, it took full 2 hours.
He checked his surroundings again and again with his spiritual sense within 50,000 Kilometers. Confirming no one is there, Xin picked up his bow put all the medicines, clay pot which is filled with food, cooking wates into the space of bow.
He tied the quiver on his waist tilted at 45° and the bow on his back. Even though the bow is extraordinary, now it looks like a dull piece made up of normal wood without any luster.
His quiver filled with arrows made fish bones and stones with feather tails of birds.
He bowed to this place three times and kowtowed three times. It is a place where he remembers his childhood.
Now he is embarking on a future journey, he needs to step forward on the road.
These old souls even they entered the bow, after all it is not good for them to stay outside in a soul state figure.
He even tidied his clothes cut off his hair short. After finishing these works, now he looks slightly mature.
He even transformed his figure into an old man. After all young people give a way to old people and don't bother about these who are approaching ghost gate.
And he picked up a stick to support himself, for a walk, which fits the demeanor of old man.
He took one last glance and decisively left without turning back.
Slowly enjoying the breeze, he walked slowly, even taking rest, practicing his skills, cultivating on the road.
Finally after three months, he came near an old village town. For him it is considered to be luxurious as he had never seen one.
