“It's okay. No need to apologize” Shen Long said kindly while bowing his body as well.
“Come master, let's drink together to add new friends” Xuan Yu said from his seat.
“True sir. We've met here. Let's have a drink with” Shu Yan invited Shen Long.
Shen Long felt uneasy about refusing the hospitality of the two young men, then he came back and sat down with them.
Xuan Yu then poured the drink into Shen Long's glass then greeted him with the first embroidery.
“Adik, if you may know where you are going?” asked Xuan Yu.
“I'm heading to the Sky Sword Grave. Do you guys know where it is?” shen Long asked.
“The Sky Sword Grave? Of course we know the place” Xuan Yu said then poured the glass back.
“The Sky Sword Grave is in the Jialing city area, it is a place that is sacred to the townspeople and guarded by the Sacred Sword Sect” Xuan Yu explained.
“You will not be able to enter that place carelessly. After all through the official line you will not be able to enter it” said Mu Rong ketus.
“What does it mean?” shen Long asked curiously.
“The Sky Sword Grave is a forbidden place for the public. However to enter it, the city leader and the Sacred Sword Sect hold a martial match every year and the top three positions will be granted the right to enter the Sky” Sword Grave Shu Yan said
“Why is it so difficult to enter it just need to have to compete first” asked Shen Long.
“Because in the Sky Sword Grave there are many heirloom swords that can be taken if suitable and match with people who enter it”, Xuan Yu added
“All the way to the top of the Sky Sword Grave, there are various levels of heirloom swords. But the power of the highest heirloom sword is at the top of the hill in the Sky Sword Grave” he said again.
“Until now only one person has ever reached the peak of the sky sword graveyard, that is, the head of the holy sword Sect who has already entered the Holy Realm. Many people can only afford up to a few stairs after climbing the hill” he continued
“The power of sword energy in the sword graveyard was immense, and many people lost their lives while forcing to ascend to the top. That is why the place is forbidden to carelessly climb it and is closed to the public” Shu Yan added
Shen Long mused over the information he had obtained, he went to the Sky Sword Grave not to reach the peak, but to search for the heaven grass. “Why is it so hard to look for it” thought Shen Long
Of course, wouldn't Wang Fen just give such an easy task to him. If it wasn't luck, he would have been buried in the Death Trench. And now the Sky Sword Grave that was difficult to enter and dangerous when entering it. This cruel Wang Fen.
Shen Long was stunned at the thought of the task given by his in-laws.
“Why are you even daydreaming?” mu Rong asked to look at the pensive Shen Long.
“Ah no, I went to the Sky Sword Grave just to look for Heaven Grass as a medicinal ingredient for my grandfather” Shen Long said.
“Ground Heaven?” said Xuan Yu and Shu Yan almost simultaneously
“What is heaven grass? asked Mu Rong curiously.
“It's been a tough trip. First you have to go through the fight of tens or even hundreds of fighters from all over the world to win the top three spots. Then you should be able to suppress the extremely powerful sword energy to be able to reach the peak of the Sky” Sword Grave
“What a hard journey with life as the stakes.” Shu Yan said
“By the way what is your name? I'm Xuan Yu, this is my younger brother Shu Yan and Miss Mu Rong. We are from Wuming” college Xuan Yu said as he clenched his hand introducing himself
“I'm Shen Long. If you may know, when will the martial arts match be held in Jialing city?” shen Long asked after introducing himself.
“Smartial matches will be held next month. Well, Shen Long, we're on our way to Jialing City. Would you like to walk with us?” asked Shu Yan
“Kakak!” yelled Mu Rong wanting to prevent his elder brother from inviting others
“Sorry. I'd better go alone. There are a few things I need to get done around this city” Shen Long said subtly.
“Alright then we part here. See you back in Jialing” city Xuan Yu said goodbye to Shen Long.
Shen Long saw the departure of the three brothers heading north. “I have to increase my cultivation through the Spirit Realm to face this martial match” Shen Long muttered.
“I have to find a high-level spirit beast to increase cultivation by purifying it” continued Shen Long while heading to the middle of the forest.
Within the forest, Shen Long met a tiger, a lion even a huge python that was killed by him then drew their spirits and carried out purification to absorb his energy.
After performing some spirit purification of ferocious beasts, Shen Long was finally able to break through to the master level Spirit realm.
Then after feeling enough, Shen Long then continued on his way north to the city of Jialing.
Jialing was a sizable city on the border of the Liu and Ming empires with the headquarters of the Sacred Sword Sect overshadowing them. And Jialing City was a neutral city where the two kingdoms promised not to set up their war soldiers in the city.
Every year the city of Jialing holds a martial arts match that is followed by all fighters from various colleges and sects in this plain. Entering the Sky Sword Grave to obtain an heirloom sword was an attraction that caused every year the participants of the match to increase.
Shen Long who had arrived in this city felt hungry then looked for a place to eat. But after checking the money had run out during the trip. “I have to work to earn money, where should I work?” figured
While walking down the street in the middle of the city, he saw a crowd of people waiting in line for something. “What's uncle?” ask one of the middle-aged men.
“A Ming royal physician is in town and treating a patient” said the man.
“A healer can earn money from this treatment?” figured
In Shen Long's mind he found memories of the treatment of the sky god, then he entered the crowd to see the way the royal healer did his medicine.
Shen Long watched every patient who had been healed by the medicinal techniques of the Ming royal physician. Suddenly an old man approached the doctor.
“Master, please my son. I have tried to find some healers before but my son has not been healed by them. Please healer” said the old man while prostrating to the royal physician.
“Take me to your son” said the healer who has a good heart.
