Chapter 316 Qin Town
On the other hand,
Inside the martial world,
A dilapidated wooden hut, standing tall on the peak of the mountain, while winds are flowing beside it, rustling the tree leaves around it,
Suddenly a blue light flashed, and a figure materialized beside the wooden hut.
"It seems this jade will return me to the exact spot I disappeared from," Lin Lee muttered, looking at the tattered wooden hut. Then he waved his hand, and roots grew out from the ground below and covered the whole wooden hut.
After a while the roots receded, revealing a repaired and intact wooden hut. Then he walked inside, looking at the empty hut; except for a wooden couch and table, there is nothing else.
Lin Lee waved his hand and put the wooden bed he got from the cave down and then sat down above it cross-legged.
"Well, first I will try breaking through the Dao realm and then refine a companion weapon; also, I will try to see if I can combine and practice martial arts paths along with this emotion path, although there is heaven and earth aura in the atmosphere, but it's negligible; probably this world is at the end of dharma."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully and then closed his eyes, spreading his senses toward the surrounding area and starting to attract the emotional aura from thousands of miles away.
'As expected, there is a large amount of emotional aura in this world, because there is no one else here who can absorb this particular power; it's just scattered through the heavens and the earth like a treasure without an owner. This world is simply a paradise for emotion path practitioners.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, seeing all kinds of emotional power attracted and incorporated in his body from the surrounding villages, towns, and even cities. Along with his emotional power increase, his soul power also increased, which resulted in more expansion of his consciousness.
…
Time passed like the river flowing through the mountain; the population increased at an alarming rate, and a few surrounding villages transformed into towns, while towns promoted to the cities. Slowly, the humans scattered and migrated after discovering more barren lands around the towns and creating more villages.
The cycle continues.
Inside the bustling town near the An mountain,
A tall figure of twenty years of age, he has a young and handsome appearance with dark, long hair tied in a knot behind his hand and sharp black pupils, scanning everything around him calmly with nobility emanating from his whole existence.
Even the pedestrians in the streets gave him few glances after looking at him once.
'This village has changed completely; the humans surely grow faster. In just ten years duration, the whole surrounding terrain changed; probably there is some other factor affecting the growth of villages and towns nearby.'
The boy thought to himself, He is the Lin Lee who just ended his retreat after breaking through the dao master realm.
"It took me ten years to master the fifth emotion; it was the hardest emotion to master for me, the emotion of disgust, as I had to recall all the disgusting thoughts again and again."
Lin Lee muttered speechlessly, recalling the time it took to master it, then he shook his head and sighed.
"Anyway, I am better than those Dao masters who took a thousand years to master those easy emotions. The next saint realm breakthrough won't take much time, as I already mastered the sixth emotion of surprise; I just have to refine a companion treasure first."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, recalling the process of breaking through to the next saint realm.
Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, and Surprise are the six emotions a practitioner must master in order to break through the Saint realm; Lin Lee already mastered all of them.
"First I have to find information about this town and that protagonist, Qin Fan. Let's see if he is the factor promoting the growth of this territory."
Lin Lee then muttered intriguingly and stopped beside the inn and walked inside. Looking at the counter and chairs and table, he walked toward the corner table near the window and occupied it.
"Welcome, guest. What do you want?" Instantly, a female appeared wearing ordinary clothes and a bandana above her head.
Lin Lee glanced at her and said calmly, "Give me something good to eat; also, can you tell me the name of this town?"
Your adventure continues at empire
The female was surprised, and then she smiled, nodded, and replied, "Yes, please wait for a whole, also this town is Qin town."
After speaking, she walked away toward the counter.
'Qin town, as expected, is named after him; also, the growth is really fast; even dining in is available. Probably he is overseer right now and took good care of this territory.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then glanced in the outside direction of the window, seeing the pedestrian moving around,
While the female returned with a bowl of rice along with fried fish,
"Are you from outside?" She then asked curiously, looking at his clothes without any dust,
Lin Lee nodded and then started eating while replying, "I am from the faraway place; I don't know about this territory. Can you tell me about it? Who is the town lord or city lord here?"
The female was startled and then shook her head thoughtfully and replied, "I don't know about the town lord and city lord name, but this county is ruled by King Qin; also, there are rumors that his excellency was born in this town; that's why it is called Qin Town, named after King Qin."
She spoke with respect and awe on her face.
Lin Lee raised his brow in surprise and stopped eating and then asked, "King Qin, can you tell me more about him? I am a little interested in him."
The female nodded and then glanced at him and replied, "King Qin is the only martial king with unimaginable strength. Rumors are that he is very young and handsome, and while his strength is surpassing all other martial kings in the surrounding regions, he is very kind and takes care of ordinary people like us in his territory."
"Lu Yao, hurry up and come here; there are other customers in the shop." Instantly a voice sounded from the counter; a middle-aged man called her helplessly.
The female Lu Yao hurriedly stopped speaking and then nodded in his father's direction; then she glanced at Lin Lee and said apologetically, "I can't chat anymore; I have to attend to other customers, or my father will scold me."
After speaking, she walked away, leaving behind thoughtful Lin Lee.
'Martial King, probably a realm of martial arts, it seems I have to find information regarding it; then I will be able to practice it. Previously I didn't have time to do all this; that's why I left this civilization. Now I have enough time; if I can explore the martial path here, then it will be very beneficial for my future; probably I can combine the path of power and the path of emotion if I can understand and combine the root of both powers.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, planning to combine both divine paths, because one path is completely dependent on the soul while the other on the body, then he shook his head, suppressing his thoughts for now.
After finishing his meal, he left the restaurant, leaving behind a few silver ingots on the table, which is the reward for the information.
While passing through the market,
Suddenly Lin Lee noticed a stall with a lot of martial arts books above them; he walked forward toward the stall.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing normal clothes who hurriedly asked, looking at the new clothes on Lin Lee's body,
"Young master, do you need a martial arts book?"
Lin Lee raised his brow looking at him and then glanced at the books, asking thoughtfully,
"Aren't martial arts secrets that can be taught only in martial arts halls and sects? Why are you selling them like that in stalls? Are they fake?"
The hawker was startled, and then he glanced at Lin Lee in surprise and shook his head and replied,
"Young master, you must be from outside this territory. The martial arts I am selling now are just primary yellow-level martial arts, and they are allowed by the King Qin in order to promote the growth of martial artists in our territory. The martial arts at the earth and above level can only be taught at martial art halls and sects; they are rare and can't be found on stalls. Maybe you can find some occasionally in auction halls."
The hawker explained patiently, looking at him with a smile, and then said, grabbing a bundle of three books,
"Young master, I can see that you haven't practiced any martial arts. Why don't you buy them and try it? I will recommend these three martial arts for the beginner: the basic beast art, wave fist art, and swift leg art. After reaching the seventh realm of the acquired realm, you can join the martial hall and study further there."
