Leaving the room, Abel began to think about where the old man might be.
"From the time we talked about, he told me that he went hunting in the morning and cultivated in the afternoon, so it should be in his room, but if he is cultivating... it would be better not to disturb him at the moment."
There was an unwritten rule in the cultivation world, and that was that no one should interrupt another's cultivation, since any mistake in said process could be fatal to the cultivator, even causing his own death, after all, cultivation was go against the heavens.
This is why Abel, realizing that the old man should be in his room cultivating for him, decided to wait for him to finish and thus not cause him problems.
"I have to be very careful, I still don't have enough information, plus I haven't started cultivating again yet, not to mention I don't have swords either, so my ability to defend myself is limited, at the moment, relying on this old man is what same as protecting myself, so I should be on his good side, the last thing I want is for him to send me flying."
Thinking that way, Abel returned to his room to wait for the old man himself to come and look for him, he usually stopped by at night to check his condition, so he could wait a few hours.
"I'm here for 5 days anyway, waiting a little longer won't hurt me either."
Reaching that conclusion, Abel sat cross-legged on his bed and began to meditate, although he still could not cultivate, doing this allowed him to observe the state of his body, as well as the wound in his dantian.
"It was almost a month and a half ago that I hurt myself, but it seems like years ago..."
Recalling everything that happened these last 2 months, Abel couldn't help but sigh, after all, even counting his previous life, what he experienced was already much more exciting than everything he had experienced, not to mention, that only 2 had happened. months, who knows what to expect?
"I really hope I can cultivate again, only then can I fulfill my promise to the librarian, not to mention what I will experience in the process... just thinking about it makes my blood boil with excitement."
Thus, while Abel imagined what would come for him in the future, a strong voice pulled him out of his thoughts, stunning him for a moment.
"Hey kid, because of how you are lost in your thoughts and seeing that you are no longer lying in your bed like a badly injured pig, it seems that you have finally recovered."
Realizing that the old man finally finished and seeing that it was already night, Abel was surprised, he did not expect time to pass so quickly while he daydreaming, allowing the old man to catch him that way.
Seeing Abel finally come back to reality, old Ben scratched his great beard before saying;
"So tell me brat, do you already remember something about your situation?"
In a high and serious tone of voice, old Ben asked, although Abel could tell that this time the old man was more serious than before.
Thinking about how to answer him, Abel quickly came to a decision, so he said:
"My memories are still blurry, however, I managed to remember that my name is Abel and I lived in a huge mansion in a mountainous area."
Old Ben, hearing the first thing he said was a little disappointed, but hearing the last he was quite happy, it seemed that his assumptions were correct and the boy really should be the young master of some family or sect, so he should only wait for the child to gradually remember where it came from.
Thinking this way, old Ben laughed out loud, his laugh almost shaking the cabin they were in, causing Abel to cover his ears to keep from going deaf.
"Hahahahaha, don't worry kid, or, you're Abel, right? Take your time remembering, but a mountainous area huh."
Old Ben stopped to think about this for a moment, although there were no mountainous areas nearby, as Nill County was more of a plain, there were other counties, so he wondered if he should go visit them.
"Once I leave the child in the village, I should go visit the other counties and ask around, it may also be a good opportunity to visit my old friends."
Deciding what he would do, old Ben thought no more of this and turned to the boy quickly.
"Abel, tomorrow morning we will leave for the village, although for me it is not very far, with you it will take us 1 month of travel, too bad I did not bring Drac, otherwise, it would only take us a couple of hours."
Hearing this made Abel's eyelids twitch, stunning him for a moment and leaving his mind blank.
"Wait, did he say 1 month of travel? That's what he meant by a" nearby "village, heck, that's what they took in the old west to travel from one country to another, besides, who is that Drac? Is it a tame beast or something like that? "
These thoughts attacked Abel and almost collapsed the logic that he had, on the other hand, old Ben ignored Abel's dazed state as he turned and walked in the direction of the exit, while he muttered curses to himself.
"I knew I should bring Drac, damn Ben you're an idiot, and Drac too for not insisting on accompanying me."
And saying this, old Ben walked out the door, leaving Abel in his sea of thoughts.
It was only a few minutes later that Abel finished clearing the ideas in his mind, making some sense of what old Ben had just said.
"*Sigh*, well they say that, if you want to explore the world, you must be strong first, besides that the stronger you become and the higher you gain, the world becomes smaller and larger at the same time, although I don't know at what level. cultivation is old Ben, at least he must overcome the stage of martial soldier, reaching Master or even Grandmaster."
According to the cultivation levels in the mortal range, the next cultivation stages after martial disciple were martial soldier, martial master and grand martial master, each stage being more powerful than the previous one, furthermore that was not the end of cultivation. At the mortal range, there were still many stages left before he parted from mortality, so Abel judged that old Ben before him should be more or less at that level.
"Now regarding that Drac guy, he must be a domesticated flying-type beast, otherwise it wouldn't make sense that he could cover such a distance in a couple of hours."
Tamed beasts were not uncommon in Kunlun, much less in a lower realm, generally some cultivators would catch beasts in their infancy and tame them and then sell them as mounts, although this was behavior that spirit beasts quite despised.
But in addition to that, the situation could also occur in which some beast, after being defeated by a cultivator, surrenders to him and agrees to be his mount, and there were even contracts that were made this beasts and humans, where a beast was still cultivator until he passed away or ended the contract, after all, this helped the beast grow faster, in addition to the fact that a spirit beast had a much longer life span than a human, so it didn't they cared about it.
"Now that I think about it, many families and sects in Kunlun have such deals, not only to strengthen ties and have more allies, but by doing so they help the spirit beasts grow faster while cultivators enjoy the help of the power of the spirit beast, so it's a win-win situation."
Although it was not always the case and for this last situation there were many requirements to meet, so most preferred to buy a mount, although by doing so they earned the contempt and hatred of the spirit beasts.
"Well, all this in the end served to realize that I am a frog in the well, I have the knowledge, but without having experimented for myself, it does not make any sense."
Thus, reinforcing his conviction to explore the world he had come to, Abel decided to go to rest, after all, he had 1 month of travel ahead of him to reach the village.
The next morning, Abel was awakened by a powerful voice first thing in the morning.
"Hey kid, wake up now! We have to go to the village, go and wash yourself, I also left something for you to eat on the living room table, I'll wait for you outside"
Somewhat stunned by the voice that woke him up, Abel greeted the old man quickly before washing himself, which woke him fully.
"That old man is better than any alarm I had in my previous life, I didn't even want to sleep about five more minutes."
While he was thinking about this, Abel quickly ate what the old man left in the living room, before heading to the exit where the old man was waiting for him.
"At least you didn't make me wait too long, come on, let's not waste any more time."
Seeing the old man walking away from the cabin, Abel quickly caught up with him before asking a question that he had on his mind.
"Old Ben, what is the name of the village we are going to? Are there more cultivators like you in that place?"
Hearing the boy's questions, the old man paused for a moment before answering:
"I thought I had already told you, well, the village is called Kubath, as for the rest, you will know when we arrive."
Thus, an old man and a boy set out in the direction of the village.
