As the ship docks at the small harbor in the village, Rain, Xue Lin, and Gao Li walk toward the side of the ship to climb down. From the edge, Rain sees three people gather below the ship.
Gao Li seeing them shouted," Aunty." and quickly climbed down the ship and hugged the woman looking similar to Gao Li. Rain and Xue Lin follow Gao Li to climb down the ship.
Gao Li stepping back from the hug," Aunty, why are you here?"
The woman, Gao Li called Aunty," I was worried for you, your arrival was two days ago and the storm made me worried."
" With no message for your arrival from the village, I came down from the market after the storm stopped to see if you arrived.
A man beside Gao Li's Aunty spoke," I think the storm is weird it started at the same time two days ago and ended today at the same time."
Rain looks at the man feeling his guess is accurate.
Gao Li," Cousin your feeling is not wrong. The storm was created by someone."
Gao's Aunty hearing this, is skeptical," Realy the storm was created by someone."
Gao Li turning serious," I have a piece of important news let's talk in Third Grandfather's house."
Hearing the tone in Gao Li's voice, Gao Li's aunty turns serious," Ok but first introduce to your friends."
Gao Li turns her head back to see Rain and Xue Lin," Oh! Yes." signaling to Xue Lin," She is Xue Lin and, He is Rain."
Xue Lin," Hello."
Rain," Hi."
Gao Li's aunty, nods," Gao Rin but you can call me Aunty and these two are my nephews Gao Ji and Gao Wu."
They simply smile and nod at Rain. Which Rain reciprocates.
Gao Li's aunt," Let's go to third uncle's house and share with us the news."
Gao Li's aunt started walking and Rain, Xue Lin, and Gao Li followed her with Gao Ji and Gao Wu remaining behind to assist the ship crew.
Rain followed her and entered the village, everyone in the street they came upon greeted them smiling and small talk with Gao Li. After a few minutes they reach a large wooden house and Gao Li's aunty knocks on the front door.
After a few seconds, the door opened, and a middle-aged man," Gao Rin, and Gao Li you arrived." sighed in relief, "Come in."
Rain with Xue Lin followed Gao Li and her aunt inside the house and sat on a sofa.
Gao Li, " Third Grandfather, How are you?" Rain heard calling the middle-aged man her grandfather he was astonished at first but then remembered this extraordinary world.
Third Grandmaster," I was worried for you because of the storm."
Gao Li," It's nothing. And I have a piece of important news."
Third Grandfather, "What?"
Gao Li starts explaining what happened after they left Wutan City, First attack by the Wolf-Sharks Pack, second the Storm and diverting the ship to Jian, then fighting with Earth Devil Palace, and finally the Corpse Transformation exercise.
While Gao Li was speaking her third grandfather and aunt remained silent but Rain watched as Gao Li's story continued their faces turned more serious.
After Gao Li finished explaining, the first to break the silence was her Third Grandmaster," Gao Li, are you sure the five people besieging the Bronze Mountain cultivator are from Earth Devil Palace and not from other hostile sects."
Gao Li hears the question of her third grandfather because first time seen people of Earth Devil Palace, and only heard of them before. So turn to Xue Lin who identified the people besieging senior Mu, people from Earth Devil Palace.
Rain observes when Gao Li turns to Xue Lin, Her grandfather and aunt also turn their attention to Xue Lin. Xue Lin with added attention calmly spoke," Senior those people were from Earth Devil Sect."
This time Gao LI's aunt spoke," How can you tell?"
Xue Lin," Senior, I am the manager of Golden Treasure House. I can tell by the energy of the cultivator from which Sect they are."
Gao Li's aunt is skeptical," Any cultivators."
Xue Lin," No, only sects and from prominent or evil sects."
Gao Li, to prove they are speaking the truth," We have the body of one of the Earth devil palace cultivators with his face destroyed by his mask inside the Ship. You two can check it."
Gao Li's third Grandfather turns his attention to Rain," The Turtle Mask's body."
and continued," How can a warrior in the same realm kill a cultivator."
Before Rain can answer, Xue Lin smirks and answers aggressively," Why cannot a warrior kill a cultivator?"
Gou Li's aunt said," A warrior in the same realm can defeat cultivators but you know we cultivators have, no way to escape."
Rain remained when they were discussing him but he felt the aura of Gou Li's Grandfather and Aunt. He felt the Grandfather's aura stronger than him but the aunt was slightly stronger than him and even weaker than the turtle mask.
He guessed her cultivation was in 2nd realm of refining energy realm, Rain stopped the discussion," Why don't we fight then we can know if I can kill a cultivator or not?"
Before her Aunt could speak, Gou Li spoke," Aunt, Grandfather, Rain is in the second realm of sword master."
Hearing Gou li, her Aunt and Grandfather look at Rain with admiration. Rain also notices fear hidden in Gou Li's Aunt's eyes.
Gou Li's Grandfather," Sorry, I have not seen a warrior who can fight against a same realm cultivator. That's why I was skeptical"
Gou Li's Aunt," I am sorry too."
Gou LI's grandfather," Rin we have to send Gou Li's information to the head of the family."
Gou Li's Aunt," How about we send the information to my brother after the Dead body of the Earth Devil Palace cultivator is examined by the market guard."
Gou Li," Aunt still you do not believe me." Rain and Xue Lin's faces also become bad because of repeated distrust from her Aunt.
Gou Li's Aunt," I believe you but without proof we sent the information. When your Father shares the information at the elder meeting then many elders will not believe without proof and create trouble for your father."
Gou Li's Grandfather," No, sent the information to nephew tonight niece. The head of the family can make some preparations for any trouble Earth Devil Palace causes before the proof from the guards. When the head of the family obtains the definite proof he shares the information with the elders."
After this, they were conversation became less serious, and after dinner, Rain was provided a Room to rest.
Rain did not go to sleep after arriving at his room, and started refining his flesh sitting cross-leg on the Bed. Rain this time decided not to sleep but practice the entire night till dawn when they started their journey to the Immortal market.
His decision to practice the entire night because he is a few steps behind of Intermediate flesh-refining realm

In the Grandmaster exercise, the four major realms are divided into four minor realms: entry, intermediate, late, and peak.
However, there was no concrete data on the body status of the minor realm written in the book. The minor realm came into being because every minor realm breakthrough increased the amount of true energy of the body, which divided the minor realm.
Gathering information of every flesh realm grandmaster's punching strength, and how much weight they lift in different minor realms from books. The soul chip concluded Entry level- 1-2.49, Intermediate- 2.50-4.49, Late- 5-7.49, and peak- 7.50-9.99.
Rain is not certain the Soul Chip information is right. But he can confirm the information tonight. He is only a little behind 2.50 body stat. He is certain before the time to go to the immortal market his body stat will reach 2.50.
Rain calms down his mind stops thinking and fully concentrates on refining his skin and muscles.
Time flies, And when the Moon in the sky starts to fade because the sun's light starts to become visible before the Sun rises from the east. Anyone standing outside Rain's room now will hear a moan.
Inside his Rain moaned in pleasure, as he felt a shackle removed from his body and he felt a weight lifted from his body. More closer infection he notices his soul strength also increase by 10% and his true energy increase by 30%.
