Gate of Immortality

Chapter 16: Unexpected Discovery

" Sir, You should not make..such jokes." The girl replied with a flustered face. She couldn't believe Yang Shi's word about fifty silver coins.

" Well, I have a lot of money to squander." Yang Shi said with a flat tone. Hearing that Yang Shi wasn't mad about the price, the girl was extremely grateful. She sadly explained, "My grandpa saved up for many years in order to buy this property. We hoped to turn it into an inn to make some money. But my grandpa is old, yet he goes to the forest to collect herbs to sell. I hope to run this inn well enough to provide for my grandpa. Hehe, you're our first guest." The girl couldn't conceal her excitement. Pulling Yang Shi into her inn made her extremely happy.

" Just prepare a hot bath for now." Yang Shi already had dinner. So all he wants to take a bath and sleep early.

" As you wish, Sir." The girl replied happily.

" Don't call me, Sir. Call me, Umm, Young Master Yang." Yang Shi said while thickening his skin.

" Ok, Young Master Yang." The girl said sweetly.

Yang Shi was embarrassed to hear such a call, nevertheless, he didn't show his feelings. [ It feels so good to be called, Young Master.] Yang Shi thought inwardly. After the bath, Yang Shi felt refreshed. It has been over two weeks since he came to this world, yet he didn't even bathed once.

As Yang Shi wore his newly brought robe, he looked at himself in the mirror.

" Not bad. Looks good." Yang Shi was very satisfied with his current look. " Young Master Yang, do you want dinner?" The girl meekly asked, but she surprised to see Yang Shi in a blue robe. [ He came with a tattered dress, and now he is in a costly robe.] The girl was mused in her thoughts When Yang Shi's shout interrupted her.

" Hello? What were you saying?" Yang Shi asked.

" Ah, Young Master Yang, do you want dinner?" the girl asked again.

" No, My stomach is full." Yang Shi declined it.

" By the way, what is your name?" Yang Shi asked.

" Young Master can call me Xin Xin." the girl replied bashfully.

" Xin Xin, a good name." Yang Shi said.

" Wher is your grandpa? I haven't seen him yet?" Yang Shi asked Xin Xin.

" Grandpa has gone to the forest to collect herbs. He should back till tomorrow." Xin Xin guessed.

" We are alone tonight?" Yang Shi laughed.

" Yes, We....." *Gasp*

Midway of her sentence, Xin Xin understood. She never spent a night, alone with a stranger. Now, She began to shudder, thinking countless possibilities.

" I...I...know, Young Master is not a bad person." The girl said meekly.

" Oh, How did you know?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

" You said previously...That you are not a bad guy?" The girl replied. It seems even she doesn't believe her own words.

" So, now I say, I am a bad guy, Okay?" Yang Shi grinned.

"...." Xin Xin was on the verge of tears.

" Ok, ok, I was just joking." Yang Shi consoled the adorable girl. " Ok, go to sleep now." Yang Shi said.

Yang Shi's and in Xin Xin's room are face-to-face. Yang Shi even heard, Xin Xin was tightening her doorlock. Yang Shi smiled and fell on his bed. The bed wasn't very comfy. But to Yang Shi, Who had been sleeping on a rock, is very comfortable. After many days, Yang Shi finally able to sleep soundly.

" Father, am I a bad child?" The little boy of seven-year-old asked a middle aged man.

" No, You are a good boy." The man said with a slight smile.

" Then, Why everyone is hating me?" The boy asked innocently.

" No, It's not your fault. It is just fate." The man sighed. They reached a mountain cliff. In front of them was a vast expanse. The man told something to the kid, but the kid became confused.

The man lifted up the kid by his arms and said something. At last, he said to that kid," Son, sometimes, sacrifices are needed to great things. If You reincarnate again, don't come here...." Saying this, he threw down the boy.

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

*Haaahaah* Yang Shi awoke, and gasped for the air. " Damn, such a bad dream. Hmm, but that man looks so familiar......" Yang shi didn't sleep again. He sat on the bed and began to absorb surrounding Qi. He has already entered the second level of [ Spiritual Ascension realm] and began to feel the third level. Then he searched his memory to find some combat martial arts. [ Ghost Fist] has been practiced to the extreme, and it is no longer needed. He wanted to try a heaven grade combat martial arts. Body utility martial arts are more common than internal energy arts, so there are much more heaven grade martial arts.

" Hmm, Fist of Nine Dragons, Eighty-one Palm of Golden Buddha, Wandering Cloud Sword Dance, Roaring Saber of Destruction, Blooming Flower Spear thrusts." So many techniques. Yang Shi was bewildered, not to mention there are also countless cultivation arts and magic techniques in the memory of Samsara Emperor. But Yang Shi already has a plan. He will use martial art as a foundation and cultivation techniques as a main force. With this, his power will increase drastically. Yang Shi arranged his thoughts, and finally chose an earth grade knife technique called [ Flying Feathers]

This art lets the user move knives life feathers. Extreme speed with high lethality. With the pinnacle level of practice, the knife will disappear out of sight and can cut a droplet of water. Yang Shi didn't choose a heaven grade technique, because it takes too much time to practice, and all of its moves are in a set. So, if one move went wrong, the entire technique will fail. So Yang Shi didn't choose it. The sun hasn't risen yet, so Yang Shi went to the garden to practice. Holding a knife, he channeled his internal energy to the arms and began to wave it.

Xin Xin didn't have a good sleep, as she was worried about Yang Shi doing any bad thing to her when she was sleeping. She also woke early and went to the garden to have some fresh air. But she was started to see Yang Shi, Who was practicing there. With a slash, he cut a branch. Xin Xin dazed as she heard a door knocking sound.

" Xin Xin, open the door." An old voice said.

" Grandpa." Xin Xin ran happily and opened the door. An old man of sixty stood outside of the door. His face was wrinkled and pale. He carried a big basket, which was filled with various kinds of herbs. Yang Shi also went to check out.

" Xin Xin, Who is this Young man?" The old man asked doubtfully.

" Grandpa, He Young Master Yang. He wanted to take some rest here." Xin Xin said.

" Oh, pardon me." The old man said to Yang Shi.

" No problem. How may I address you, Elder?" Yang Shi asked.

" Ah, call me Old Fu." The old man said with a smile.

" I will call you uncle Fu." Yang Shi said with respect.

" As you want." Uncle Fu said with a smile.

" What is this?" Yang Shi asked, pointing at the basket.

"These are the herbs I picked from the mountain." Uncle Fu said.

Yang Shi was looking at the basket when something caught his attention.

" No way...

Yang Shi couldn't believe his eyes. This is the .............
