as Bingwen was exploring he saw a pretty small 3 story pagoda ''Oh... well that was kind of anticlimactic. I at least expected a huge 9 story pagoda or some shit. but hey i guess being normal is better than being in a low ranked clan in some obscure city in a obscure region in a obscure country etc etc. cuz that how novels go'' Bingwen said as he remembered how xianxia novels keep going on and on with the bullshit. from a low grade country to a low grade continent to a low grade planet to a low grade galaxy to another low grade universe. 'It just does not stop.' Bingwen sighed. and walked passed the small pagoda.
''Yo! Bingwen!'' a voice shouted.
''Hmm?''
''Oh It's Xiaoyu'' Bingwen said as the previous body's owner's memories returned to him. Yushia Xiaoyu a pretty handsome lad. and a Good friend of Bingwen and the son of the third Elder. they have known each other since childhood. and were good friends if not Brothers. [ not related by blood but have an amazing relationship with each other ]
''Hahaha! How are you doing!'' Xiaoyu asked as he gave Bingwen a fist bump. ''Good?'' Bingwen said kinda confused because since when did fist bumps exist.
''Great! at least you don't have trash talent!'' Xiaoyu said as he felt the 1st layer Qi Foundation aura Bingwen emitted. ''But even if you were untalented. that wouldn't change our friendship'' Xiaoyu said smiling.
''Yeah i can feel the same from you.'' Bingwen replied also feeling the 1st layer Qi Foundation aura Xiaoyu emitted. ''Heh! Father said that if i can reach the 5th layer he will give me a Tier 1 Magical Sword'' Xiaoyu said while smiling proudly.
''Lucky''
''Oh don't be mad now''
''Me? Mad! oh shut up will ya''
Both of them burst out into laughter as they walked further into the Main Clan Hall.

''Oh? Well well well it seems that xiaoyu and his friend have both already reached the 1st layer in such a short time'' an middle aged man said on top of the Three story pagoda as he looked at the two young men laughing walking around the clan.
''This might be a good sign maybe if they both have imperial talent they can reach the Legendary Heavenly Gate rank and make our clan rise up in the Factions list'' he said while looking into the sky.
''Too bad I already am to old. all of my potential has been used up'' he reminisced and then with insane speed disappeared.

''So what are you going to do know'' Xiaoyu asked Bingwen as he returned to the aure close to Bingwen's house.
''First practice the Bronze body to level 1 and then maybe try to reach the second layer of Qi Foundation'' Bingwen replied.
''Oh yeah. by the way'' Xiaoyu suddenly changed the direction of the conversation.
''By the way what?'' Bingwen asked.
''I May be able to get my hands on some Body Refining Pills. BUT!'' Xiaoyu said.
''But?''
''You have to help me get closer to Miss Juo'' Xiaoyu said. ''Miss Juo as in the daughter of the First Elder? you wanne get with her'' Bingwen said confused.
''I- i mean yeah she's so nice. smart talented and most definitly beautiful'' ''and then we will get married and have kids and both reach the Wandering soul rank. hehe'' Xiaoyu said as he indulged into his fantasies.
''Xiaoyu NO!'' Bingwen said as he slapped the back of Xiaoyu's head to wake him up.
''Ouch! why'd you do that man?'' He reprimanded Bingwen. ''I'll help you but please don't do any stupid shit that'll get me into trouble. m'kay?''
''We Got a deal'' Xiaoyu said and then continued ''Oh Yeah i have to do some things for father! See ya!'' he said as he ran away but not before waving.
''Oh god. that boy is going to give me a headache'' Bingwen said with a smile as he walked towards his house.
''Oh yeah i never looked what was in the pagoda. '' He said as he looked at it and then decided to walk in.
