Yuki went to a small house in the village and knocked 3 times. A woman came and opened the door. As her gaze fell on Yuki she released the holding to the door and kept a polite posture, "who are you miss?"
As Yuki was well dressed in their terms, the villagers saw her politely.
"My name is Yuki Kanakuba," Yuki replied, "I came from iron wall town. I heard your son has great talent in alchemy, so I came to take him to teach alchemy."
The woman rubbed her hands to her thighs while avoiding contact with Yuki, he didn't know how to react because Yuki had a surname and happily welcomed her in hurry, "please come in young lady, our house is little, please forgive me."
She reacted more than what Yuki anticipated, "It's fine, can you call your son?" Yuki asked while going in.
The woman turned her head to a small room and shouted, "Yuji, come here."
The house only had 3 rooms, one was for kitchen, one was bed room and the last one was hall.
With the shouting the boy came running, the woman strictly said, "Yuji, immediately kneel and greet the young lady."
Yuji without asking another word kneeled and greeted, "Greetings young lady," despite her young looking body, which was younger than him.
Yuki showed her palms to stop them in panic, "You don't need to do this, I am just taking him to work for me, I need an assistant in alchemy."
"Cultivators are like gods for us mortals young lady," the woman replied, "you are taking him in means we are blessed by gods, we have to pay our utmost respect."
Yuki huffed out some air and said, "Then you can pack your things and say goodbye to your friends, I will wait for you."
The woman hurridly replied, "No need young lady, Yuji, go pack your things and come, don't waste young lady's time"
Yuki didn't want the people feel like she was taking him forcefully so she insisted, "no, let him say goodbye to his friends, he might not return in a few years."
The woman didn't dare to talk back and politely replied, "yes, young miss," strictly to Yuji, "Yuji, go and say goodbye to everyone and come back as soon as possible."
Yuji who was excited to be taken in by a cute little girl who was shorter than he was said, "yes mother," and went out.
An 8 years old girl came out of the room as the commotion was settled, "Mother, I am hungry."
The woman got scared because Yuki might get angry for her rudeness and said, "chichi, don't be rude, immortal is here."
Yuki felt awkward and thought, 'immortal? Immortal means people, who don't die right?'
The system said, 'In Chinese culture, immortals are cultivators who live a long life, they can also die but their life will be thousands of years.'
Yuki said, 'so they are powerful and live long, no wonder people think cultivators are like gods.'
The girl politely said, "I am sorry immortal lady," by bowing.
Yuki patted her, the little girl got happy and Yuki said, "You are a cute girl," and said to the system, 'system, check her talent.'
The system said '10 angry points.'
'It decreased? Ok,' Yuki agreed in confusion.
'2 in spirit, 0 in essence and 1 in the body,' system notified.
Yuki thought, 'she has poor talent.'
Yuji came after 20 minutes; he immediately packed his things and said, "I am ready young lady."
Yuki said, "then we will go now," and went out.
Many villagers came to see her as it was rare to see one but everyone stood at a distance to not irritate her.
After they went out of the village Yuki asked, "What is your full name?"
"Yuji, immortal fairy."
"Just call me big br…sis. Call me big sis and I am not as great as you think, act normal with me ok?"
"But it is disrespectful to call immortals like that."
"I am not an immortal, I am a cultivator alchemist that's all, just call me big sis and don't argue with Me." and asked, 'system, why didn't he have a surname?'
'In this area, only big families will have surnames,' the system explained, 'poor people won't keep it to make things simple.'
"Yes, big sis. By the way big sis, why did you choose me of all the people?" asked Yuji.
The elder in hiding thought, 'yes, why did she come to this village and choose that particular boy, she never left iron wall town, how did she even know him? Maybe her master fairy told her about him, he might be another disciple that fairy wanted to take in, that clears why young miss ask him to call her big sis.'
Yuki said, "You have 5-star talent in spirit, you are suitable for alchemy."
Elder got shocked and thought, '5 stars? Such rating can be only done by costly devices and I heard only plexus academy, sword path sect and the royal family have such device in entire Nilu kingdom and 5 stars mean he is a genius among genius.'
Then suddenly an old man's voice came, "girl did I hear that right? Does he have 5-star talent in spirit?"
Yuki noticed the man next to her in shock and a little frightened out of alertness, 'when did he get next to me?' she thought.
The old man was acting like a wise old man but his eyes were filled with arrogance and pride that he was great. He had his eyes on Yuji.
Yuki calmed down after seeing it was an old man and said, "Yes, isn't he great? He can become a master-level alchemist." She thought that the old man didn't know anything about cultivation as he asked it.
"Yes and you are not bad to open 1st petal at such young age, kneel," said the old man superciliously.
"Beg your pardon?" Yuki asked in confusion.
'Host, he wants you to knee so that he could take you as a disciple,' the system notified.
The elder got panicked, 'ho no! He doesn't have any good intentions, I can't read his cultivation which means he is above me, I should protect young miss but that old bastard wouldn't have opened 1st petal at such young age, how dare he ask young miss to kneel to him?'
Yuki got confused and asked, "Do you mean by the master-disciple relationship among cultivators?"
"You don't even know that?" the old man asked.
"I already have a master; you are 13 days late old man," replied Yuki.
The elder thought, 'young miss don't know about him and talking casually.'
Otohiko- the old man said, "You must have rushed your cultivation anyway, your path must be weak, so I will only take this boy. If he is really 5 star, then he can make a good alchemist," he only had the idea to improve himself with the pills the boy made, he knew Yuki would surpass him and it would be a shame for him if he takes her in.
Yuki understood his intentions and that he was a cultivator too, she became serious and argued, "What do you mean by that? I found this boy, he will follow me."
Otohiko became more serious and said, "little girl, you don't know the world enough, his talent won't be bloomed if he follows you, I can make full use of his talent, just go away when my mood is still good."
"It's not up to you; we have to ask this boy, Yuji, whom you want to follow?"
Yuji who couldn't sense the old man's powers said, "I will follow big sis."
Yuki smiled and said, "See, he wants to..." then Otohiko suddenly appeared behind her and used his palm to slam her back. She went flying for 10 meters then fell on the ground, rolled and stopped at 20 meters away with heavy injury.
Yuki was in intense pain due to the impact on her internal organs, 'damn! It hurts.' It was her first time to get so much pain. She couldn't think anything but pain.
Yuji got scared and shouted, "Big sis."
Otohiko caught Yuji and said, "today I am in a good mood, so I will spare you, little girl."
Yuki heard it and her blood boiled, her red eyes were in a rage, she stood despite the pain; she was serious and said, "Don't...take him."
Otohiko said, "You are in no position to talk to me."
Yuji was crying and screaming, "Big sis, save me, I am scared."
Yuki asked, "Who are you? What is your name? Where are you from?" She knew she couldn't fight him.
"My name is Otohiko from plexus academy that is something you can't mess with."
Yuki assured bravely, "Yuji don't worry, I will come and rescue you as soon as possible," and thought, 'in this world forcing people is common, he might kill me if I push my luck, I can only back down now.'
Otohiko saw her struggle amusing and laughed, "hahahaha, I like your courage, I will wait for you at plexus academy, seeing people get despair is more fun than killing them, you will give me good entertainment," and he took Yuji away by planting a seed for his doom.
Elder got relaxed and thought, 'Good thing he didn't do much harm. Young miss's personality will change drastically with this incident, she is an innocent little girl until now but now she will become mature,' he was frightened to save her, so he just hid.
Yuki felt very shameful, despair and angry for her lack of strength; she took healing pills as she did healing pills until then.
The elder thought, 'Young miss already made pills, I wanted to report to the family head but it will be good if she tells by herself.'
