"F*ck*ng hell!" From the northern part of the Empire's castle, an old man kept tapping his armchair impatiently: "The 1st prince said that they will be arriving in the Empire today, why hadn't they even attempt to reach here?!"
"Did the Ouyang Clan actually recruited them before their eyes were open to how low they are compared to ours?!"
"D*mn it, I want to see it as well, is that Tou brat actually afraid that I'll steal those people? The audacity!"
"I've been waiting for a whole day and they've yet to arrive? They are testing my patience!"
As he spoke, the estate started to tremble, this is the might of the number one expert of the Empire, Tu Xunfeng.
"Father, calm down." At this time, a young man smiled trying to calm his father: "In the first place they didn't even mention or anything that they will be coming here."
"You've waited on your own saying that as people from the lower continent, they will be excited in meeting you, the strongest in the Empire... You've forgotten?"
Tu Xunfeng widened his eyes before calming immediately like he didn't even scowl before coughing: "I was merely practicing how to be intimidating."
"Sure father, you definitely are." The son sighed, he couldn't help but thank the God of destiny for making him much like his mother.
As they flew towards the Alchemy Association, he couldn't help but frown.
All the other clans, big or small had guests coming and going, forming connections with everyone.
He also passed by the Tu Clan, it's buzzing with activity as people are coming in and out, but compared to the Ouyang Clan, there wasn't even anyone coming.
He didn't even need to think for the answer as it came straight to him: "No one wishes to have a connection to a falling clan."
Well, at least Mo Xie knew what he needed to do first, since that's the case, shouldn't he help them make a few connections?
What he lacked the most is resources, and what he has the most is his knowledge.
He'll be staying in the Myriad Earth Abyss Continent for a while before returning to the Fallen Leaf continent with a cure for one of his children, till then, he'll be staying with the Ouyang Clan.
The more stable the place he staying at, the better it is for his group, he's not alone anymore, he has people following him as well. Something he wishes to cherish the most.
'Family...' From his previous life to this life, he never had one, his parents suddenly vanished when he was 14 years old from his previous life, and in this life, he couldn't even meet them.
After a while, they arrived at the Alchemy Association, compared to the great clan and big clans, the number of visitors here transcends those that he had seen on the way here.
It has three gigantic pagodas and many stalls and stores set up everywhere, selling pills, medicinal powders, and many other alchemy related stuffs.
As they arrived, Mo Xie stopped, the Alchemy Association's area is actually comparable to the city they were a while ago.
"..."
"Husband, you don't know where to go?" Shang Ting immediately figured out his predicament.
Mo Xie nodded his head like a good boy.
Shang Ting chuckled: "We can just treat this as a date, we can go to all parts of the Alchemy Association, nobody actually needs to sleep between the three of us."
Tanya nodded: "I don't mind, you do know that I've been trapped in a really small world, traveling is actually really fun for me."
"But going around looking at new things is even better."
Mo Xie nodded: "Well, let's go."
As usual, Mo Xie made his way to the center, the biggest one, also, it has the less populated one, and he immediately knew the reason why.
Only Immortal ranked cultivators can enter... Immortal rank...
Mo Xie sighed, there's a massive note beside the entrance, [only Immortal ranked and above can enter]. That immediately disqualified him from entering, but then, Tanya led the way.
Oh right!
As they approached the gate, they were stopped by the guards: "Excuse me, the two ladies can enter, but the man needs to stay."
Shang Ting is already at the Immortal Foundation rank, hence, she's of course given entry, but for Mo Xie that's only at the Sky Shattering rank...
Tanya immediately replied: "So I can't bring my husband along?"
The guards looked at each other, the rule is, people can't bring their servants below immortal rank in, it doesn't really say no one can bring their spouse.
"Uhhh..." The guards were left confused by this before a person arrived: "Since it's her husband, just let them in."
"Ah, Lady Ru!" It's one of the higher-ranked staff, hearing her, they gave way to the three of them.
The lady named Ru smiled at Tanya, but the latter spoke: "He's our husband, not mine alone."
The two of them smiled at each other as they went their separate way.
The guards hearing this couldn't help but look at Mo Xie in envy, one of them remarked: "I'm not bad myself, but I don't even have a wife..."
The other person sighed: "I never even held a girl's hand!"
As Mo Xie was entering with the two, a person held his sleeves: "Mister, can I ask for a favor? I need a cultivation pill but my cultivation is too low to enter."
"I've been waiting here for a whole month already, please take pity."
Mo Xie looked at him, he's about a few years older than them, but he's taller than Mo Xie, by one and a half feet.
His body filled with scars that can be clearly seen from his jacket type cloth. He had a rugged appearance, dirty clothes, and worn-out slippers. He's also a Sky Shattering ranked expert like Mo Xie, but his physique, it must be a great one to give him the body of a giant man.
Mo Xie asked: "Why do you need it so desperately for?"
The man replied immediately: "We wish to enter the Imperial Sky Sect and get out of poverty, but I and my brothers are already twenty-three years old, if we wish to enter, we should at minimum be a Heaven Encompassing rank."
"Your name?" Mo Xie asked, if it's any other person, he would've ignored them, but from what he can see with this man's physique, he's most likely going to be a talented person. He doesn't wish to ignore it when he can "help".
Truth be told, he's actually just stopping himself from kidnapping this guy to inspect and study his physique, to increase his own knowledge, but if it t turned out that it's actually something that he'd already known, then, it'll be pointless work.
Still, all of the physiques that he knew that gives this kind of height are all quite rare ones.
"My name is Ammon Jiro, me and my little brother are orphans."
Mo Xie nodded his head, he took something out of his ring and gave it to him: "Take this, it's a cultivation pill."
Ammon Jiro frowned for a bit, it could also be poison!
Mo Xie smiled, seemingly seeing his doubts: "No worries, no poison is there."
He opened the lead of the bottle and the aroma assaulted their nose.
The guards couldn't help but exclaim: "Sky-grade medicine!"
Mo Xie smiled at Jiro: "Better than what you can buy right?"
Ammon Jiro couldn't believe what he's seeing: "That... I don't have the money to pay for such a treasure!"
Mo Xie smirked: "No need, there are six pieces of pills inside the bottle, share it with you and your brother, I think it'll be enough."
He then threw it at him like he's throwing a piece of paper before entering inside.
Ammon Jiro caught it and bowed greatfully at Mo Xie's back: "Thank you." Before making his way back to his house.
The two guards saw everything: "Maybe we should take the day's off."
Mo Xie's voice then sounded: "I do hope that there isn't any bad things that will happen to them, after all, I can ask Lu Yue to find the culprits for me... and there are only two of them that witnessed the event."
Mo Xie left these words and continued his way in.
"Lu Yue?"
"Who's that... the only family with the surname L-"
He couldn't finish his words as they remembered the only family with the surname Lu! The Royal Family!
"He must be bluffing... right?"
"I think... no? A person that can give that kind of pill... bluff?"
"......." The two of them felt afraid, seriously though, just one of those pills can make their life lighter for sixteen years, or more!
