There was a small square in the middle of this town. At the centre of it, stood a wooden podium, recently raised for just one purpose.
"Today, in front of all the town dwellers living here, travellers who came from faraway, and guests specially invited - I announce the opening of 388th Southern Shang Fair!"
Shouted the Town Lord in his loudest voice. He was at the 9th rank of Meridian Opening stage. Just one more push and he could gather Qi.
'But... this old man has no chance.' I could guarantee he would be stuck with opened meridians and never manage to truly cultivate the Qi. He had most likely used too many boosting pills, herbal baths, quick power increment techniques to get to this stage.
"This year, we have garnered Young Master Tong Kai's interest! The 388th fair won't be the same!"
I kinda lost interest after he started sucking up to that fatty. Indeed, Tong Kai was fat, fat like a pig. I was more worried about the podium itself than the chair on which he sat.
