Gate of Immortality

Chapter 15: The Journey Begins...



Yang Shi went to the demonic man to bid farewell.

" Your Majesty. Since everything is ok, I shall take my leave." Yang Shi said with respect.

" Oh, you want to leave?" the Demonic king said without any surprise.

" Yes."

" Since You want to leave, I will not stop you." The Demonic King said.

" But before you leave, Let me give you some gifts." The Demonic king added.

" Gifts?" Yang Shi was surprised.

" Yes, come with me." He asked Yang Shi to follow him. He led Yang Shi to a cave. The cave filled with various kinds of weapons, armors, and other miscellaneous things.

" These things are from those cultivators, Who died here." The Demonic king stated.

" Wow, That's a lot." Yang Shi was astonished. At least a thousand cultivators died here. That's a lot.

" These things are garbage for beasts. So you can have them."

" Really?" Yang Shi asked again.

" Yes, as much as you like." The Demonic King nodded.

" Thank You. For your grace, Your Majesty." Yang Shi bowed to him. Then Yang Shi jumped to the pile of stuff to search for some good stuff.

" Hmm, This sword is rusty. That's a broken saber. This dagger's material isn't good." Most of them have already turned to scrap metals. Still, Yang Shi continued to search. Then his eyes fell on something. Yang Shi dashed like a greedy thief and grabbed a bottle. It was a white vial, looking like its made from porcelain. It was smooth and shiny.

" Aha, It seems luck is in favor of me. This Vial can store pills and elixir of spiritual affinity. This thing is perfect, to store *That*." Yang Shi smirked.

Yang Shi also picked two swords, one saber and three knives aside from the vial. Then he started to collect gold coins, which were lying in heaps. Ten gold coins are enough for an ordinary family of Blue sparrow Kingdom to live happily for a year.

" AH, GOLD!!!!" Yang Shi screamed with happiness and rolled over it. Hell, Its gold, FREAKIN GOLD. Yang Shi never thought that he would own such a large amount of gold. Yang Shi calculated and found that the total was around ten thousand gold coins.

" I AM RICH!!!!!" Yang Shi shouted in happiness. He found a sack and filled it with gold coins. " Too bad, I don't have those space rings which store things."

For the last time, He went to the altar and the blood pond. He circled the four ancient pillars, trying to find something. Then he stopped at a place and looked carefully. Then he took out the white vial and stored something in it. He closed the vial and walked out of the cave.

" Ok, Farewell. Thanks for the hospitality you have shown." Yang Shi bade farewell to all the beast and set out.

....................

Within a lush green forest, a young man stood, with a confused face.

" Man, Where am I?" Naturally, he is Yang Shi. With a saber and two swords in the waist, Yang Shi looked like a warrior. But his clothes are too dirty and ragged, mismatching his looks.

Before he set out, He asked about the terrain of the Deep Sky forest. As its name implies, This forest is like a vast sky. Even the demonic king hasn't explored the entire forest. Luckily, he knows the way to the next kingdom. Yang Shi was following his instructions, Yet after two hours, he lost.

" Fuck, Where is the junction he mentioned?"

With { Wind Parting Footworks} Yang Shi can travel 100 miles per day. But compared to the vast forest, its nothing.

" Oh, the spirit of Bear Grylls, show me the way." Suddenly, he heard the sound of the water.

" The rule of survival, Follow the river." Yang Shi started to follow the river, in the hope of finding some village. Soon he reached an old village. Yang Shi was relieved to find a human civilization. "Thank God, I have watched a hundred episode of 'Man vs Wild' It didn't go to waste after all."

" Young man, are you a traveler?" a person asked Yang Shi, after he reached there.

" Um, Yes. I am a young traveler." Yang Shi said with a smile. " Is there a place I can rest for a night?" Yang Shi asked.

" Yes. There is an inn nearby." The person said.

" Thank You." Yang Shi greeted him and went to take a tour around. He first went to a clothing store and bought a costly robe of five gold coins. " Since I am rich, I will live rich." Yang Shi always wanted to feel like a rich person, as his past life was full of struggle. He bought a blue robe with red patterns, and a pitch-black robe. After some shopping, Yang Shi went to the inn.

The inn was full of people. Yang Shi went there and sat in the corner of a restaurant, looking at the scenery outside. He asked for some meat and a good wine. Yang Shi was a chain smoker and a drinker, in his previous life. He also wanted to try the wine of the cultivation world. But Yang Shi was disappointed. The wine from the small inn was nothing special, it was even slightly weak in taste, for someone like Yang Shi, who had drunk strong alcohols, the wine was even a bit difficult for him to drink! [ This is the wine of the cultivation world? *Meh* It can't compare to those aged rum and vodka. Not strong enough. It's just aromatic.] Yang Shi evaluated in his mind. And look, people are drinking it happily, and some even became tipsy. Yang Shi sighed. Then he went to the innkeeper to ask for a room.

" My apologies, dear customer. All of our rooms are full." The Innkeeper said with a sad tone.

Yang Shi came out of the inn and moved along with the road, finding a place to spend a night.

" Wow, This village is so big." Yang Shi exclaimed. Without realizing it, Yang Shi walked into a remote alley. This alley was a bit shabby and was extremely unremarkable.

" Umm, does sir want a place to rest? Our rooms are very clean, and the price is exceptionally cheap. Come and have a look!" Yang Shi was in the midst of walking when a small door opened, and a girl appearing fourteen to fifteen years old, shyly peeked out. " Hmm, How do you know, That I am finding a place to rest? Are you following me from the inn?" Yang shi asked.

" Umm.. N..No, You looked tired." The girl answered clumsily. This girl couldn't count as beautiful, just ordinary. She was extremely thin, and her complexion was a little pale.

It was clear that she had some malnutrition problems. But her eyes were extremely lively, and they made people feel pity for her.

" Oh, I see. It sounds like you've been waiting to say those words for a long time." Yang Shi laughed. His words were said extremely stiffly. This girl had only summoned the courage to come out when she saw someone looking like a customer, was passing. But then seeing Yang shi's evil smile, a trace of panic filled her.

"I… I…" The girl clenched her robes, afraid to say anything. Yang Shi laughed. It seems his new face, scared the little girl.

" No need to be afraid. I'm not a good person.... But I'm not a bad person either." Yang Shi said.

Hearing the first half of the sentence, the girl became more afraid, but she relived after hearing the whole.

" Does Sir want a place to spend a night?" She asked again, hope appearing in her eyes.contemporary romance

"You are saying so clumsily. Well, I will check it fist before agreeing." Yang Shi laughed.

" Yes, yes, please enter!" The girl hastily led the way with delight. Yang Shi walked inside and in the first look, he thought [ This ain't an inn.] How was this an inn? It was clearly a small farmer's yard. There was a two-story wooden house. It was some farming tools on the floor. But this place was very tidy. Entering the house, he walked up to the second floor. There were two rooms. Yang Shi opened the door and the first thing he saw, was a pink underwear and a bra.

*Bang* The girl hastily closed the door and said the next room. Yang Shi pretended to not seeing anything. The girl opened up a door, revealing a bed. And then... there was nothing else, not even a table. It could not be more simple. There were sheets on the bed, and they were very orderly, but they were clearly not new. However, they had been cleaned very well. Looking out of a very small window, he saw a small pond with a small boat floating on the water. It wasn't a bad picture. Are you satisfied? If there's anything you're not happy with, just ask and I'll do my best to fix it!" said the girl worriedly.

"How much is this room?" asked Yang Shi.

An embarrassed look crept over the girl's face. Gulping, she stuttered, "How about… Ten coppers… for one day?"

"...."

Although people don't have much gold here still people have silver. One gold coin is equal to a thousand silver, and one silver coin equal to a hundred coppers. Ten coppers are too cheap.

" Ten coppers a day?" Yang Shi frowned.

"Ah, if you think it's too expensive, we can discuss it!" The girl jumped in fright, afraid he might leave.

" No, It's...Too cheap. How about fifty silvers?" Yang Shi asked.

"...."
