System : Game World 34 Wandering Sect 2

"Don't take this to heart. The people here are quite proud and some are even nobles of these lands." The shorter brother pointed to an elegant girl sitting on a rock around the pond and two seemingly-ordinary young men wearing simple clothes too.... But when Tang Ling looked close enough, it was obvious that these 'simple clothes' were finer and tougher than the rest of them. Their swords inside a intricate scabbard. Although, Tang Ling didn't know the real value of these things, it was definitely expensive. Intricate designs like these, even if sculpted in stones would rise by 200%.

"Feng Ci, it's quite rude to speak before introducing yourself. More so, when your brother just greeted and introduced himself." The older brother chimed his little brother.

Finishing admonishment, the brother returned his back and greeted :

"Greetings, junior brother. I'm sorry for the lack of manners of my brother. My name is Feng surnamed Cai and my brother, Feng Ci." Feng Cai presented himself with palms and fist connected.

Tang Ling thought it was a strange custom but cupped his hand too.

Feng Cai nodded as he thought how polite this boy was. "My brother meant that you shouldn't feel offended from these attitudes. Other sects has it worse, disciples and elders bullying newcomers and exhorting them. And at least they acknowledge your existence even when they are stronger and nobler. Can you feel their cultivation stage ?"

Tang Ling thought it was reasonable. You wouldn't even pay attention to a beggar on the road right ? Even if it's on your home street, it wasn't necessary to greet them as you would feel it was beneath your status or just repulsed from the air alone of the beggar. He then checked the levels of everyone here.

[Feng Ci Level 13]

[Feng Cai the Water Marking Village Local Hero, Level 20]

[???, Level 25]

[???, Level 26]

[???, Rose of Shendong, Level 29]

"... They're are strong." Some stronger by more than ten levels. In Forger Wang's term, they were a stage higher than him (10 levels being a stage). Last time he checked his stats, he was level 15 from the small monsters he slayed in his travel.

[Name : Tang Ling

Lv 15

Class : None

HP : 425/425 (+100HP)

Qi : 70/70

Mental energy : 7/7

Stamina : 10/10

Strength : 1.6

Agility : 1.5

Constitution : 1.5

Spirit : 1.59]

Level 15 was in the lower end of the group and as such, wouldn't be involved with the stronger end of the spectrum. And after Feng Cai talked to him, some took the time to chat a little with Tang Ling and from them, gave him more knowledge about the world.

The Veinmaster Stage that the man who wanted to go the Mountain and Cloud Sect said, was discussed many times by the shall-be disciples. Veinmaster referred to the 5th Stage of Martial Arts and was a state where people would experience and get extraordinary abilities and attributes. The one named Feng Penteng, a bastard son from a rich merchant, said :

"Veinmaster is the name given to those who reach the 5th Stage and unlocked their mysterious powers. These powers comes from the bloodline and body which make every cultivators above 5th Stage, unique. Most people at this stage, get an improvement to a particular attribute like increased power, speed, etc. But some people across history like the Heavenly Flame Monarch awakened something special at this stage."

The Heavenly Flame Monarch was a typical story of a man who became famous because of fate. The man was originally a nobody who cultivated hard. He only reached the 5th Stage at the age of 30, a sign of being untalented or at least normal, but when he became a Veinmaster, he unlocked an ability to control flames and with this single ability, became a top figure in the food chain.

But it was a time where cultivation techniques were loosely regulated, and many techniques in the market could let the user achieve 5th stage, although it was very hard to even get close to this stage. Right now, only cultivation techniques of 2nd to 3rd stage were allowed in the market with powers monopolizing ancient scriptures.

It was only two hours later that the supervisor came back and gestured to the group to come. The group bowed and followed him outside, in a carriage.

"GodSword City has many, many amazing things but space here are expensive and rare. Most sects prefers being outside the city to build magnificent palaces and walls and we, the Wandering Sect also follow the tradition of being outside of the city. Only new heavyweights like Gengxi Gang Sect would establish their power in the city and their every actions watched."

It took only a few minutes to reach their destinations but Tang Ling peeked a little outside and could feel the astounding speed of the carriage. The carriage felt like it was flying and was at the very least ten times better than the poor horse which he bought.

...

...

Wait. Where did he put his horse ?
