In the residence, Wang was sitting inside a medical tub his consumption of resources was almost over, and he sighed.
"In the past two months, my blood-forging realm has gone all the way to the 7th level, but it seems that my stay in this city has come to an end. Tomorrow, I should go back, but before that, I can spend some money to purchase some medical materials, the usual quality will not work thus those above 800 years in medical power should be put under consideration. They will be important in the process of attaining internal energy, as one can never have enough of it. Looking at it now, it is best to spend the rest of my time in the forest when going back this time until I have achieved true Qi. The number of beasts in the forest is too many and could allow me to speed up this process."
Some distance further from the city, in the mountains bordering the clouds, one could almost think that they are standing close to heaven the City lord was sitting together with other two figures whose outlook seemed detached, and only the city lord had a ragged appearance but everyone seemed to be looking at the gourd he was holding in his hand swallowing hard. It was obvious that they wanted to have some of whatever he was drinking beside them, but the old man did not seem willing at all. He even seemed to be holding it cautiously, an indication that he could actually see their desire.
Putting the gourd back on the waist, he even went further to hide in his outer robe, and then asked, "How is it? Did you check out the kid?"
Seeing the man with some gray hair already starting to show, going through all these diversion tactics just to avoid sharing some drink, the woman almost scolded her mother. She practically was attracted to this place because of the aroma, but this guy was not cooperating at all. This thought was not just going on in the head of the woman even the man beside them with a blue robe had the same idea, in fact, he wanted to snatch that gourd just to teach this grey-haired man some lesson on sharing. But it was a shame the man also seemed to understand everything they were thinking silently, and he was not willing to let others use his fine wine for lessons of any kind.
Lin Tangling pondered for a moment before she opened her mouth to respond bitterly, "According to my observation of the past few months, the kid is indeed dedicated, and even though started to practice somehow late, very ambitious, the number of hard skills bought in the auction is already proof of this. Probably not planning on entering innate realm anytime soon, after all, if trying to study all those techniques, he might even rival your foundation." With a teasing expression, she looked at the man before her, but he did not seem to be listening just looking at the two of them warily as his left hand seemed to be touching the location of the gourd.
But her expression become serious as she said, " With your disciples background I don't think there is any reason for you to be more concerned about the issue of her Daoist companion right? Her choice is undoubtedly the best, factoring everything, you of all people should at least know this!"
But this issue of background seemed to be ignored and the main city lord did not even try to reply to it.
Lin Tangling is holding the position of the city lord too but her power standing is ranked third yet she ended up taking up most of the responsibilities in the city. The other two were not easy to locate during the day, probably had their own issues, or were just escaping from such responsibilities. She can be said to have the ability to deter countless warriors that always pour into the city day in and day out. The numerous experts seem to have different personalities and temperaments, of which some like to cause chaos and thus her existence in the city can be said to deter many people. Basically, she has been labeled as Crazy third by her senior brothers, who are the first and second city lords, whose realms are higher than hers.
The second senior brother of Lin Tangling was smiling on the side and said," That kid's temperament is very fiery, I can see from that kid's temperament that he has killed many people, even though he seems harmless." In the city, there is nothing that these three beings can be oblivious of, and thus Wang's actions can not escape their observation at all, but in the end, it did not matter to them. This is indeed true considering that the main city lord Di Haofei, spends most of his time on his personal issues and unless the city is going to be destroyed he has no motivation to make a move.
In the next three days, Wang spend his time purchasing the things he wanted and set off back to the mountain residence.
He did not know that the strongest beings in the city were analyzing his behavior at all, at this time he was already walking towards the huge mountains but ended up taking some mistakes. By the time he realized this, he just let nature take its course.
"It seems that I have to spend some time getting myself more informed about these mountains, but that is not as important as improving my realm. Well, this place seems weird, the aura here is way stronger than where I live. Perhaps I can hunt in this place."
When his thoughts were floating, he looked into the distance, "The fog in the distance seems to be blocking my sight. Should I go ahead or stop?"
At this moment he realized that he had not gotten any useful information about this as he had focused more on other things, moreover, the information on the mountains probably is only in the hands of the strong in the city.
Some parts of the forests in the mountain seem to be very poisonous that no one dares to visit the places. After all, no one would be willing to risk their lives for some curiosity, after all the resources in the forest are already immense.
Over the years, the number of people that have died from stronger beasts however seemed to overshadow that of poisonous plants. But this place before Wang seemed to have something that attracted him, after all this high concentration of aura even though wang could not absorb it, he could feel it. It made his body very comfortable just staying in this place for long periods would become very good for his body. He still moved forward, towards that fog, as he was hoping to obtain something that could prove useful to him in perfecting his blood-forging realm. After that, it would take time to try getting himself to grasp artistic conception if were a normal martial artist, but he was not in a rush, as accumulation could still accomplish this result.
What he wanted to do was to practice all the other exercises he had before he went further to fuse the into one strong body training technique. In the end, he was more interested in having a stronger body and immense internal energy to convert into true Qi. If he could fuse all the internal energies before the formation of true Qi they would not conflict with each other in the slightest.
Moving through the fog, he could see some huge water surface in front, but the fog was making it hard to see further. In this way, he looked at the shore and was surprised to see beasts gathered there. Their auras were already strong enough to compete with those in the blood-forging realm and Wang did not seem to have any reason to rush in, but he was more concerned about why these beasts were not fighting each other.
"How can beasts on this level stay in the same place without fighting each other?" He looked at them and realized that the only thing that was attracting the beast eye's was the pool in the distance.
Through his observation, he could see that the beasts were more concerned about the water than the other beasts close to them. To improve one's strength, there is one thing that beasts pursue strength, and the best way is by consuming other beasts. The beasts seemed to be more interested in the pool than even each other, which indicated to Wang that something in the water might be very tempting to them. Coming to this world he has seen a lot of things and this is one of those that he did not manage to comprehend yet. But when he looked at things from the perspective of humans, then it becomes easy to understand, but that would imply this beasts are spiritual.
