The man looked at Samael and his gentle voice asked "Fellow cultivator, My name is Acala from the Eternal Pangu Sect, Vajra Peak. Can you please give me some face and let me get this artefact, we can have a conversation after the auction" his hands formed a prayer sign "Amitabha."
Samael looked at the seemingly gentle monk, trying to see his true thoughts, "Ok after the auction come to the Fortuna Inn"
*Fortuna is going to be the name of all the Forte Family possessions, like Nike. *The Eternal Pangu Sect, (I changed the name from Emperor Sword Sect) , is a generic Chinese Sect but it also has cities based off of ancient China.
Acala easily got the Mala beads and Tetsubō after all he raised the price by 50,000 stones.
Back in the Fortuna Inn, Sami, Alice and The Monk were siting in the repaired private room, this is a high level fantasy world of course they can fix a building in a few hours.
"Why did you want the artefact so badly?" Samael asked.
The Monk looked hesitant but looking at the peaceful demeanours of the duo, he spoke, "As I said before my name is Acala but I have no surname because I'm an orphan. The Master of Vajra peak in the Eternal Pangu sect found my new-born body and adopted me."
"I didn't ask for your whole fucking life story." Samael thought.
Acala continued oblivious to Sami's thoughts, "When I started practicing I began to show my prowess as a genius, I was especially talented in all types of Buddhist techniques, people began to call me the reincarnation of a Buddha. Then....."
Alice's voice interrupted, "Why do you trust us so much."
"You look like good people, I feel like I can trust you."
'What type of bullshit is that." Sami thought.
Acala began to speak again, "Then my fifth birthday passed and I didn't awaken a physique the people I used to defeat easily came back to pummel me into the ground, I was ridiculed, bullied and ostracised but the Peak master and his daughter still believed in me so I practiced even harder my anger fuelling my cultivation."
"The other Peak master began to mock my adopted father saying he raised trash as I saw the humiliation on my fathers face my anger reached the boiling point and I awoke my physique and bloodline."
"Are you sure you want to continue, keeping your physique and bloodline secret is a good idea?"
"I will continue, I don't know why but I instinctively feel like I can trust you, the physique I awakened was called the Fudo Myoo Divine Body I have a 300% affinity in the Fire and Holy elements and the bloodline is the Fudo Myoo Divine Bloodline I have a 300% in the Fire and Devil elements."
"Furthermore with my physique I can summon a vision of Fudo Myoo which once strong enough can simply obliterate enemies once looking at them, my bloodline gives me some of the abilities of vision such as the eyes of wrath and immovable as long as my heart is steady no one can move me, no one can deceive me!"
***Fudo Myoo/Acala is a Buddhist deity and is their god of wrath. Acala supresses demons and evil doers but also enlightens people he is a buddha of duality. In religion,, he uses a sword and a noose/lasso as his weapons but I've changed it to be mala beads and a Tetsubō.
"Fucking hell this guy has protagonist template written all over him. He's an orphan he was talented at first but then lost his 'talent' and was humiliated by other. However he then awakened a broken physique and bloodline and has this weird instinct/intuition. If he had a novel about him it would be called 'The Angry Buddha'. lol"
"So why did you want the artefact?" Alice repeated.
Acala finally realised he had rambled on and never answered the question, "My instincts told me I needed it.", he sheepishly said the completely anti climactic answer.
"Is that it?"
"Yes...." he meekly said.
"Well at least let me get a closer look of the two items." Sami said facepalming.
"Here"
Sami tried to hold the cracked in half Tetsubō and was surprisingly not burnt and he could also hold the mala beads.
"Why can I hold them, I thought anyone below the Dao realm gets burnt."
Acala looked excitedly at Sami, "I knew you wouldn't get burnt, you only get burnt if you have any guilt for the sins you've committed. If you feel guilt the weapons will burn you using your sins as fuel destroying you, obviously the weapons are currently broken so I have to find the pieces of it."
"So you used it as a test?"
"Yeah but I always felt you would pass."
Alice also touched it and was also fine, even if she killed many nobles harmed many people se felt no guilt her conscience was clear.
Half an hour later....
The trio had finished eating and had left they Inn they were going to travel to the Academy. The actual academy is in a pocket world and there will be a test to decide what class you will go to. There are 3 classes in the Tianjiao academy Mortal, Earth and Heaven. Each one is better than the last. To decide which class you go to their will be a trial.
A pocket world is a small dimension created by powerhouses and many powerful people own them to store herbs and such and the Tianjiao academy have even put their school there.
As they were walking to the dimensional gate, the entrance to the pocket world a blur shot past them and the sound of slap resounded on the street. Acala's bald head had a red handprint on it and a petite girl was looking at it proudly.
Acala turned around and roared "FENG YUTU!"
The girl was beautiful she was around 1.55 metres tall and had a very slim build. She had beautiful straight black hair and was wearing Daoist robes her eyes were the colour of jade and her skin shone like moonlight. She had a very energetic demeanour and seemed to be the centre of the world.
"Young Madam, master said you should restrain yourself." another voice spoke it was a girl in the distance running towards them she looked very tired.
"Whatever Xiao Ying, you are being boring."
Xiao Ying was also a beauty compared to Feng Yutu she was a little worse but still beautiful. She was around 1.65 metres tall and her cherry blossom coloured hair was tied up using a silver hairpin. She had a calm and cautious demeanour seeming to only look at Feng Yutu it was quite clear she was Yutu's maid.
Acala stared at Feng Yutu his red eyes filled with more rage than before, "Samael and Alice this is Feng Yutu the daughter of the Vajra Peak Master."
*Feng means wind *Yutu is the name of the jade rabbit/moon rabbit a mythological figure in east Asian folklore. I'm pretty sure it originated in China though. *Xiao means little *Ying means cherry. (I'm using it to mean Cherry blossom)
