After a night's rest Ling wu started moving traveling towards the Nearest kingdom The 'Ye' Empire.
The journey would take around 3 weeks on horse/carriage but for Ling wu he could reach there in 1 week.
He headed out for the first time experiencing the outer world he heard that there are Heavenly geniuses in The Ye Empire. "Wait until they see me" He said while traveling through the forest
After a while, He heard a loud roar And a Huge golden lion pounced on him."A golden Lion this beast Is comparable to 7th stage Foundation establishment cultivator" He Immediately unsheathed his sword bloking its paws with his sword.
His hands felt numb and his sword reverberated from the force He used the sword art and moved towards the lion at lightning speed but the beast just blocked it as a beast it has more physical capabilities than a human but Ling wu wouldn't give up using his movement technique he appeared next to the Lion and slahed his sword his sword glowing with a purple spark when the hit landed the Lion roared in pain.
Meanwhile, Ling wu didn't let up and put the lion in a defensive state because his qi was refined Ling qu could last longer than any other cultivator in the same realm.
But, that doesn't mean he is invincible he is also slowly getting drained from this fight " I can't let this continue how it is I need to end this Guess I have to use that move" He closed his eyes and his whole body glowed purple sparks flying by When he opened his eyes he drew his sword before the lion could protect itself it died
"Huff huff huffy that move is rly exhausting it drained my qi reserves instantly but it's worth it" Ling wu exclaimed while feeling tired when he looked at the corpse of the lion he cut the fur put it in his ring took the meat started a fire and roasted the meat on a stick the aroma was better than any meat his ever smelled
Looking ahead he saw a cave when he entered he saw a plant that looks like it is ducking the out the air he went near it took the plant out "T- this is a 2000 year old ginseng herb This could help anybody breakthrough directly without harming the foundation" After He said that he Immediately ate the gerb like a carrot and a stream of violent energy assaulted him.
He quickly started refining the violent qi to lightning qi and the qi seeped into his muscles and bones strengthening him greatly After a few days of refining he opened his eyes feeling a lot better his cultivation rose from 9th stage of body refinement to 3rd stage Foundation establishment.This speed was astonishing then he continued his journey finally reaching The 'Ye' Empire.
Two muscular guards were at the gate and asked " Hey you pay the entrance fee or get out of here the entrance fee Is 20 silver" Said one of the guard Ling wu gave them the money and entered looking ahead he could see why it was one of the 5 great empires everyone was busy and bustling city complimented that fact.
After admiring for a while he tried finding an inn. When he asked for an inn the man showed him to a building which a purple sign that says "Violet sky inn" entering there were people talking, drinking and eating He went to receptionist and asked for a room she replied with a smile and said "That would be 20 silvers a day How long would you like to stay" ' It's indeed an Empire 20 silver for a room that would be enough for a year of living back then'
Ling wu thought and gave her a bag silver which totaled to 100 silver she showed his room and left after entering he later and the bed and slept.
