"Where should I go? Well, it is not that this village is too big, also my priority should be to seek information and above all to find a calm place to cultivate, from there to look for clues about the inheritance, while in the process I get stronger and explore this continent."
As he wandered aimlessly through the village, Abel couldn't help but think about it, after all, he made every effort to get here with the goal of getting stronger while searching for the inheritance, only then could he fulfill the promise to the one "person" that allowed him to embark on this cultivation journey.
Thus, as he walked through the streets, he realized that all the villagers in the village were cultivators, at least they had all reached the 4th level of body refinement at the very least.
"Apparently the only mortal here is me."
With this persistent thought, Abel walked until, without realizing it, he reached the central area of the village, right where the great mansion and the other great construction were located, which he still did not know what role it played.
"That mansion must be the home of the village chief, although he does not have much surveillance… well, I suppose that to be the village chief you must be the strongest around here, so perhaps the surveillance is unnecessary."
While reflecting on it, he noticed that a boy his age was coming out of the great building, apparently very happy, so, without thinking twice, he approached the boy.
With a beaming smile on his face, and in the most convincing voice he had, he said to the boy:
"Hello mate, I just arrived at your village, and I couldn't help looking at that construction, could you tell me what it is?"
At this sudden question, the boy, who was apparently in his own world of happiness, woke up, and with some disgust, he turned to look at Abel, evaluating him quickly, before responding with some disdain:
"Who the hell let a mortal into the village? *Sigh*, you better leave before a guard sees you and they end up kicking you out of here."
And saying this, the boy did not waste any more time with him before continuing on his way. Without paying more attention to it.
Hearing this astonished Abel, who was only looking for a simple answer, he never thought that a child of his age would respond in that way and with that high ego, leaving him standing like a fool just a few steps from the great "building".
"*Sigh*, who would have thought that a child my age would act that way? Even in Kunlun I was not treated with such contempt."
Abel couldn't deny that, the fact that he was treated like this affected him a bit, but he didn't think about it anymore, after all, although he cultivated until he reached the stage of a martial disciple, he was now nothing more than a mortal, So while the words that boy said were harsh, they were true.
"It is a cultivation world after all, here only the strongest fist is right, I will meet all kinds of people, so this is a lesson for me."
Moving a little from the place, Abel reflected a little on the last thing that conceited boy said.
"If what you say is true, then the only reason the guards let me in must be because of old Ben, plus I can't deny that everyone I came across saw me as a freak."
Remembering the strange glances that were thrown at him on his way, Abel could only sigh, although he did not pay attention at the beginning thinking that in a village as such, it must seem strange to them that a foreigner appears and hence their glances, but apparently, it was for his non-cultivator status.
"Better not get in trouble, at least until the old man comes back, maybe he should inspect the surroundings of the village, maybe find a good place where he can farm."
And with that thought in mind, Abel decided that he would leave the building for another time as he headed towards the outskirts of the village, surveying the surrounding area, looking for a quiet and reserved place where he could cultivate undisturbed.
Meanwhile, not far from where Abel had found himself, in the large mansion in the center of the village and in a rather reserved room, two people were sitting face to face.
One stood out a lot, with a muscular body and a characteristic lumberjack-style beard, he was sitting quietly drinking tea, on the contrary, the other figure was smaller, quite thin, had a long nose and his complexion was somewhat pale, and at the same time It seemed he was mulling over something.
Suddenly, the muscular, bearded figure set the cup on the small table in the room, as her gaze lingered on the person in front of him.
"Well, did you decide to accept my proposal, village chief?"
At this question, the village chief only looked at him for a few moments before looking away and sighing helplessly.
"Even if I don't agree, would that change anything? Since you decided to bring that boy here, this village practically became his home."
Hearing that, the muscular man could only laugh somewhat embarrassed.
"Hahahaha, I'm really sorry about that, but my suspicions tell me that this child is not simple, although I cannot tell you much about him, I can only tell you that, although he has not cultivated, he is very strong, so, if not I will return or inform you about the situation in two years, you may as well take him to one of the sects, I bet they will give you great support and reward for giving them a seed like him."
Hearing this, the village chief became a little interested, so he decided to ask:
"Oh, if you say that this child is not simple, then it must be a good seedling, but why do you leave it here then? Although this county is in a good position on the mainland, for someone like you, this place It is nothing more than a forgotten place of God, with your antecedents, you could well leave it in a better place for it to develop."
The village chief's question did not surprise the muscular old man at all, so he quickly replied:
"From what I've been able to see, that child is more of a self-developing child in hostile environments, taking him to a better place will only delay his cultivation rather than help him, so I might as well leave him here."
These words did not convince the head of the village, so he, looking at him with some mockery, he said:
"Hmph, I'm sure you don't actually wear it because it would be annoying for you, so it's easier to leave it in this place, *sigh*, well then, I'll do as you say, if in 2 years you still don't contact me, I will take him to one of the 3 sects. "
Thus, without wanting to say more to the muscular old man, the village chief got up and with a slight bow, left the room, leaving the old man alone in his thoughts.
It was only when the sun began to hide that the old man woke up, looking at that sunset, he could not help but sigh.
"That old man does not change, but, although he hates to admit it, he had some reason, I never liked babysitting, I had enough with the last months, also even if I took him out of this place, as he is now, it would only be to kill him."
Thinking of this, the old man stood up as he used his spiritual sense to search the boy's aura around the village.
At first he didn't spread it much, he thought he should be exploring the vicinity, but finding no trace of him, he was only able to further extend his spiritual sense, it was only after a few minutes that he managed to locate him.
"This is why I hate babysitting, I told him to explore the village, not go on a hike in the vicinity, *sigh*, I'd better go get him and leave for the other counties as soon as possible."
And with this thought, the old man disappeared from the room, as if he had vanished into thin air.
Abel for the part of him was exploring the creek area, so far, he had found some places that suited his needs, but he still decided to keep looking for a better place.
"Maybe I should get a bit further away from the village, I'll be cultivating an ancient rank manual after all, so I don't know what kind of phenomena will occur while cultivating, not to mention I have yet to see if it can help me with the seal on my dantian."
Abel's idea was to use the ancient rank manual to release the restriction on his dantian a bit, for this, he would have to release part of the celestial qi with which he was sealed, so it was inevitable in that case that no phenomenon would occur. mysterious.
Thus, while he was thinking about this problem, a man appeared in front of him, giving him a great fright.
"Brat, I think I told you to explore the village, not to take a walk around it."
Hearing this voice, Abel knew that he was in trouble.
