"It's indeed karma," Shung Yun said as his body rocked with the forward movement of Haru, "see you tomorrow, Mr. Guchun."
"You too, kid," Mr. Guchun muttered as Shung Yun bolted out of the overpass and towards the street having his lodge.
***
Twi! Twi!! Twi!! Twi!!!
Plucking the strings of the guqin resting on his thighs, a soothing sound enveloped the first floor of Mr. Guchun's organization, calming the minds of the customers and making sales flow freely.
"How did you think of this?" Mr. Guchun asked the seventeen[17] years old teenager standing beside him.
Remembering the supermarkets back on Earth, as well as the restaurant he worked in before his transmigration, Shung Yun said, "music helps me cope with my life. I felt that if it could help me by altering the state of my mind, then it could be able to do the same to anyone with the right tone."
Looking at the lower-stage old man that usually sits opposite the entrance gate of the Stallion Paradise at night, Mr. Guchun asked, "what did you promise him?"
"Twenty [20] duan silver pieces a day," Shung Yun said as he observed the customers coming in and going out of the building, "you built yourself a great business in a town with a population of over twelve million[12000000] humans. Can I get some tips on how you did it without a backing of any kind?"
"Connections, risks, reputation, opportunities, good employees, and patience. Six[6] qualities that made all what you see in front of you possible," Mr. Guchun said as he thought about his past.
"And power. You missed that," Shung Yun said as he looked at the direction of a lower-stage middle aged sitting on a desk at the far end of the first floor, "that's why you have him in your organization."
Hearing what Shung Yun said, Mr. Guchun smiled as he remembered an occurrence in the past, "you're right. Power is equally as important as the six[6] qualities I made mention of. And Tuo Huiwen is one of my employers with that quality"
"I'll be leaving for senior Bai Qhan's place now," Shung Yun said as he arranged the white colored belt on his waist and the silver colored ring with blood red inscriptions on his right index finger "see you tonight, Mr. Guchun."
"Have a great time over there, kid," Mr. Guchun said as he stayed in the first floor of his organization listening to the soothing musical piece of the lower-stage old man.
Leaving the three[3] story building, Shung Yun leaped on Haru's back before riding towards the tattered two[2] story building at the far end of the east side of Yuhan Town.
Having several horses, donkeys, as well as, chariots pulled by either horses or donkeys pass him by in the streets; he enjoyed the scenario with a lollipop in his mouth.
Arriving in front Bai Qhan's house twenty four[24] minutes after he left Mr. Guchun's organization, he leaped down from Haru's back before knocking on the door.
Knock!! Knock!!
"It's Shung Yun!" he said out loud after knocking twice on the door in front of him.
"Come in," Bai Qhan's voice sounded, inviting Shung Yun into his home.
"Greetings, Senior," Shung Yun cupped his fists at the upper-stage middle aged man sitting cross-legged opposite a female doll with a small stool in their middle, "how are you doing, Miss Yi? I bought you a lollipop."
",..,"
"It's nothing much. You and your dad has been a great help to me," he said as he walked towards the female doll before squatting beside her with a lollipop in his hand.
",..,"
"I'm glad you like it, Yi'er," Bai Qhan said with a smile on his face, happy with the joy in his daughter's voice, "wait for me, kid."
Watching Bai Qhan walking up the stairs to the upper floor, Shung Yun smiled as he confirmed the hypothesis he made on him after he returned with the female doll yesterday's evening.
"He will do anything for his daughter's happiness," he thought as he walked towards the guqin at a corner of the room.
Coming down to the first floor with a huge book in his hand, Bai Qhan passed it to Shung Yun before saying, "it contains a lot of musical pieces. Figure out the symbols associating with the tones of the guqin and your training with me will come to an end. And the book is yours."
"Thanks you, senior," Shung Yun said while cupping his fists at Bai Qhan.
"You deserve it. You made Yi'er happy," Bai Qhan said as he returned to sitting across the female doll still having the lollipop given to her by Shung Yun in her hand.
Creating a thought in his mind, the huge book in Shung Yun's hand vanished, while the silver colored ring with blood red inscriptions on it glowed for an instant before returning back to its original state.
"It's really great to have a storage ring," he said as he admired the silver ring in his right index finger.
Bringing his attention back on the guqin resting on his thigh, he began the task of mastering each sounds produced by the strings of the guqin.
Proceeding way faster than he did yesterday, he completed the second string to the sixth string before stopping to fulfill his promise to the female doll.
"We'll be back before night fall," saying that to Bai Qhan, Shung Yun left the house while carrying the female doll.
Moving through the streets of the outer sanctum of Yuhan Town with the female doll sitting behind him, he paid attention to the buildings around him.
"I haven't seen any store that sells the Silver-Layer Pill," he thought as he searched for an alchemy store or any store that sells pills.
After moving through some streets in the outer sanctum of Yuhan Town, he arrived in front of a two[2] story building having the words, 'Pills and Herbs,' on a bill hung in front of it.
"Wait here, Haru," leaping down from Haru's back, Shung Yun said to him before moving into the store.
Walking towards the female youth sitting behind a desk a few meters from the door, he glanced at the individuals looking at the herbs and pills in the wooden shelves around the floor before focusing on the female youth.
"How may I help you, sir?" the female youth asked Shung Yun.
"Do you sell the Silver-Layer Pill?" Shung Yun asked the female youth.
"I'm sorry, sir. But we don't sell the Silver-Layer Pill," the female youth said to Shung Yun.
"Do you have any idea where I can get it?" Shung Yun asked after another failure in getting the pill that increased the strength of his body.
"You should checkout Alchemy Pavilion or Trade Hall in the inner sanctum. I'm sure one[1] of them will have what you want," the female youth conveyed to Shung Yun.
"Alright. Thanks for the information," Shung Yun said to the female youth before leaving the store.
"You mean the owner of the horse is inside?" a middle-stage male youth standing together with three[3] other youths of same gender asked the upper-stage male youth sitting in the porch of the building opposite to the Pills and Herbs building.
"That's right. He just went in a minute or so ago," the upper-stage male youth sitting in the porch said to the white robed middle-stage male youth.
"Let's go ask who own the wild-horse. Senior brother Yunjie will definitely reward us if he buys the horse," the middle-stage white robed youth said to his fellow disciples as he prepared to go into the two[2] story building.
Coming out of the building, Shung Yun moved towards Haru before leaping onto his back, "let's go see if Mr. Guchun can lend us a hand in obtaining the pill, Haru."
Neighing in response to his king's words, Haru told him everything the white robed middle-stage male youth said to his fellow disciples and the porch sitting upper-stage male youth.
"Are you the owner of the wild-horse?" the white robed middle-stage male youth asked Shung Yun.
"Yes," Shung Yun said as he looked at the white robed middle-stage male youth.
"How could he own something as rare as a wild-horse?" the white robed middle-stage male youth found it difficult to believe Shung Yun's answer, "he must have just being lucky."
"How much will it cost?" accepting that some people are greatly lucky, he asked the Shung Yun.
"I have no wish to sell him," Shung Yun said as he held the halter on Haru's neck as he prepared to leave.
