Chin City, Sun family's estate
The three Sun brothers namely, Sun Wu, Sun Mu and Sun Lu, all of them had solemn expression on their face while sitting on the couch opposite to each other in the big room.
The room was exquisitely decorated with golds and wonderfully architecture by some good engineers.
It was the room of Sun Fu, the patriarch of Sun's family. Needless to say that after he died in the hands of Li Family's Young Master- Li Young! the famous evil playboy of the Chin City, the room was made the meeting room of the three brothers.
At the moment, the three brothers were all worried about Li family exploiting Sun family and maybe capturing them. They were all well aware that the Sun family had nothing to give except the Forging Workshop, Sun Family's Blacksmith.
The only way to run away from this situation was to give that workshop to Li family, as such all the three brothers were hesitant to take decision. It could be said that the major anual income of Sun family came from that one Blacksmith!
How much big was the Sun Family? They were famous throughout the Chin City and even in the Qin province they had some reputation for being good Forgers, all due to their inherent workshop, The Sun Family's Blacksmith!
"What should be do, Brother Mu, and Brother Wu, I think it's better to satiate their greed by giving the workshop." Sun Lu opened his mouth to his two brothers.
Sun Wu disagreed, "You don't know but I know, once you give way to a Tiger, it will keep on coming your way no matter how much more way you give to it. Similarly Li family will not be satisfied by just having the workshop, if I'm right they would want the Sun estate as well.
The Sun family's estate was very big. It was something given by the ancestors of the Family.
Nothing would be more good for Li family if they are able to get even the ancestors' inheritance of Sun Family as well.
"No matter what but we must seek help from others, against Li family." Said the most silent Sun Mu.
...
On the way, Sun Devu asked a random person if there is a organisation related to Alchemy in Chin City or not.
"What! You don't know about Alchemy association? That's the only universal alchemist association I know which is widespread in the Continent of Nova. Every newbies in alchemy has to go through the assessment from this organisation only otherwise they ain't considered an alchemist even if they have the skill to do so."
"So may I ask which direction this organisation is located?" Devu asked.
"Go straight and then turn right.."
"Alright thanks for your information." Said Devu as he began walking in the direction pointed by that random man.
Soon he came across a large gate on which the word "ALCHEMIST ORGANIZATION" was inscribed. When he tried to enter the gate, the two guards stopped him.
"Brat, tell us what a poor guy like you had to do here." The clumsy guards asked him.
"I've come to take the alchemy test. Please move aside."
"Hmph. You think we don't know what you're trying to do? Don't tell me later I didn't give you a chance to scram. I won't be merciful if you don't scram now!" The guard with a bulky manly build said this.
Seeing this, Devu shook his head. This infuriated the guard causing the bulky guard to move his hands in order to punch Devu.
Devu just side-stepped making the guard who was about to land his punch on Devu flinch ahead.
"Pfft" Seeing this the other guard couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
This embarassed the guard who was about to fall from his flinch. He balanced himself on right time and then shouted at Devu "Ahhh Brat I'm going to kill you!"
Moving ahead to kill Devu the guard saw Devu flashing a cold gleam in his eyes which made his instinct scream at him that he could die in an instant and his neck would fall on the ground headless. However since he was already in a momentum to kill Devu, he decided to ignore his instinct and go alongwith the flow.
This time Devu decided not to dodge the guard's killing move. Devu simply let put a strong aura accumulated with terrifying killing intent. If this much killing intent were to be directed at thr surrounding, even in the whole lower realm, time itself would stop. Fortunately this little bit of killing intent from Devu's enormous killing intent was only directed at the guard who was about to kill Devu.
The guard who had his grasping hands about to grasp Devu's neck simply burst open with blood. Soon, his whole body followed the same fate, bursting with blood! The blood dyed the clothes of Devu and the nearby guard who had let out the small laugh.
"This.." Both the guard and even Devu were dumbfounded.
'What just happened now?' Devu thought unable to control his shocked expression. Soon he realised and calmed down.
The expression on his face plus the realisation happened in less than a micro second, because Devu was a strong soul of reincarnated expert so thoughts and reactions were just running at otherworldly speed for him.
Looking at the surrounding, one person who was returning from within the gate after having bought some herbs was shocked at the scene. In front of him, a ten years old kid was dyed in full blood.
He saw a guard nearby him who had a fearful expression. Looking at the blood that dyed Devu's body and even the guard's body. The man understood what happened here! The guard was trying to kill this pitiful kid.
Having understood the situation he didn't want the kid to die! He let out his powerful aura of Qi cultivation stage.
Seeing the aura coming from the man, Devu was surprised. The people he met upon coming to this world were all in Body building stage, making it easy for him to supress them based on his original soul's strength.
He didn't expect to meet the first Qi realm cultivator in this organization today. Thinking of this he sighed and remembered the cultivation realms that people of the lower realm generally had.
Qi Cultivation stage, the second realm of cultivation that fall in the Mortal Realm. There were 5 major cultivation realms in the Mortal Realm; Starting from Body Building realm, Qi Cultivating Realm, Martial Building realm, Martial King realm and finally Mortal Shedding Realm.
All of these realms had 9 stages of cultivation in them, starting from first stage, ending at 9th stage.
It was self explanatory from their names alone, that Body Building realm required one to train their flesh, muscles and even organs to the utmost limit.
Qi Cultivation realm, after having cultivated the body to its limit, one starts to feel the existence of qi inside their body. This is the true starting stage of a cultivator. In this stage people start learning Breathing exercises to cultivate their qi by opening their dantian. They also can practise martial arts in this realm that require qi to harness qi control.
After refining their qi slowly and accumulating large amount of qi, one can start making their own martial techniques, and use the accumulated qi to compress their body's meridians to pave the pathway for higher level of martial arts. This is the Martial Building realm.
After building their own martial system inside their body, one has to form the martial soul inside their body. They find their fated martial soul in the starry Martial sky, hence becoming a martial king of their own.
...
When the man let out his qi cultivation aura, the guard who has the fearful expression puked out a large cups of blood on the ground. He then came back to his sense and saw that his knees gave up due to the powerful aura which was compressing him.
In fact this powerful aura was the qi that's cultivated by the qi cultivators. The aura that Devu uses is different from qi. Devu's aura is the soul power that comes from his soul, his very existence.
Fortunately the aura of ki wasn't aimed at Devu who was also covered in blood so he didn't had to kneel infront of this aura.
"Sir..please have mercy! What wrong did I do to cause your anger?!" The guard lets out a pitiful cry as he questioned the man who let out this aura.
The man who was compressing the guard with this aura didn't say anything. He was looking at Devu with compassion and sorrowful look at his condition. He was obviously thinking that the blood that covered Devu's body were his own!
Devu having noticed this man's gaze understood that he was being misunderstood. However so he didn't try to clear that misunderstanding.
"Argh..ahhh..." Devu cried with pain, obviously pretending to be the victim here.
Devu then looked at the guard with anger as he shouted hatefully, "I only came here to look for herbs that will treat my mother's illness. However I somehow came accross your feud with the other guard whom you killed without mercy just because he had affair with your wife, the guard's body painted our bodies with blood when he was burst with burst pill which you mixed in his food..."
Devu made a story of his own with ever-changing expressions on his face which was flying with several colours. Meanwhile, the guard who heard this story started turned green, then purple and finally red probably from his anger.
The man who saw the guard's expression became angry. He thought 'Instead of becoming guilty, he is angry that he couldn't kill this pitiful boy? How infuriating!"
After Devu finished his story, the guard looked at the man wanting to deny Devu's story, the guard then said, "Sir please don't believe this little demon's fake story, it was him who killed the other guard and painted us with blood. How could I who is at low level Body building realm can kill a fellow cultivator at same stage bursting his body? Oh right I didn't use burst pill.."
Before he could elongate his speech, the qi cultivator punched his face and the guard flew in the air for a long distance before landing with broken facial bones, jaws etc. The guard was now dead.
The man who punched this said "How dare he instead of being guilty, tried to transfer his misdeed to a little kid of 10 years?..Sigh"
Devu who heard this also nodded his head at the man as he replied assuring the uncle, "Thanks for saving my life from this devil uncle." As Devu said this, he became sad again. He added, "I only wanted to buy some herbs that doctors had asked for my mother.."
"Don't worry about that boy, as the disciple of Grandmaster Chen from Alchemy association I'll personally compensate you for this evil deed did by the guards of alchemy association, by buying those herbs which you want by myself...But first I have to do something about your dress. Come with me."
The man took Devu with him inside the association. When everybody inside the building saw the man coming they all stood to welcome him alongwiththe beautiful lady at the counter who also stood up. This man was Cheng Yu, the only disciple of Alchemist Master Chen. This was the reason why everybody here were respectful to him. He had recently come to buy some herbs for his refinement so they become confused when they saw him returning back again.
They were all shocked seeing him with a kid whose clothes were dyed with blood, even his face was not spared making it difficult for them to see his appearance.
He beckoned a beautiful lady who was at the counter and the lady soon came to greet him.
"Take this kid and make him wear some spare clothes. He demanded no questions and the lady accepted his order taking Devu with him.
Seeing closely by how much the blood dyed the clothes Devu wore, She was also shocked. She first took him to bathroom and told him to bath himself.
When she went out, Devu couldn't hold it anymore and coughed cups of blood down on the bathroom.
'Sigh..I didn't knew that even though my soul is a powerful asset to me, my body can't bear the killing intent it carries. Almost all of my organs are ruptured thoroughly. I need some healing pill to recover them, maybe I can use this chance to refine my organs first.'
Devu thought as he opened the shower which rained water droplets on him pouring down the blood of the guard from his body.
Even though cultivators generally starts refining their bodies from flesh first, it's not difficult for Devu to walk through a unconventional method. Devu even knew of a cultivation technique that he was planning to practise which required him to rupture his organs first and then refine organs with this method.
