The Spirit Hunter System
The Azure Cloud Stream
"What did you say?"
In a dark room, the figure of an old man with a thin body wearing an ancient black suit looked furious. He stared at the kneeling figure before him with an angry expression.
If Adam and his comrades were here, they would know the figure kneeling in front of the old man because ...
She is the wife of the village chief.
"You said the Rose Pattern Blood Spider had been killed? That being was at the Spiritualist Master realm! There was no way an ordinary person could kill him!"
"B-But the one who did it was not an ordinary person at all, sir. D-He .. he looks very dangerous."
"Junk! I've been waiting almost seven years for this! You're saying the man killed and burned all the cobwebs?"
"S-It looks like he moved some eggs to carry as samples along with the creature's carcass. Also ..."
"What else is it?!" exclaim the old man.
"That boy, Nam. He was taken away by the mysterious man."
Plaque!
The old man directly slapped the woman in front of him until it fell to the ground. He gritted his teeth, looking completely unrestrained.
"really rubbish! I ask that you take care of him carefully like an ordinary brat!
You yourself also know, compared to the Rose Pattern Blood Spider .. that brat is more important."
After saying that, the black-clothed old man gripped his left shoulder. If he was looked at carefully, he had lost his left arm.
Taking a deep breath, the old man tried to calm down.
"I've promised myself, other than killing the woman, I'll make her son experience terrible pain.
Then, the boy would be refined as a blood pill to strengthen my own body. But now ... everything has gone awry because of this woman's stupidity."
After saying that, the old man in black-coloured ancient clothes stared at the figure lying on the floor with killing intent.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Department of Mysteries.
"Welcome to your new home, Nam."
Getting out of the car, Adam immediately introduces Nam to his new home. More precisely, the headquarters of the City B branch Mystery Department that would be where he lived from now on.
"Wow ... really big."
Nam who always lived in the mountain village looked amazed. The first time he entered the city and saw a skyscraper, the boy felt like he was in a dream. Nor would he have expected to live in such a big house.
"Finally you arrive, Mr. Owl."
Hearing James' words, Adam approached the man and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you for the hard work. For dinner, you can order whatever you want. Yes ... not only you, but all the residents of the headquarters."
Adam said relax. Seeing the others looking at him as if confirming something, he added.
"Of course, I'll pay for it."
Hearing that, the others looked delighted.
After that, Adam invites Nam to go around the house first. Then take the boy to his new room. Although James initially refused to open the room because Nam was not a member of the Department of Mysteries, things ended up going smoothly after negotiations.
Yes ... Adam paid for the student's room.
Although Nam was his student and Adam was able to get the boy to sleep in his room at night, he himself did not fully trust the boy.
For now, Nam will be living in a rather worn out room. Adam had already booked a room renovation service through James, but it could only start tomorrow. So the boy had to last one night.
After taking a short break, Adam invites Nam to go to his study and work space (which used to be a small library). There the boy looked around curiously.
"The books are too complicated for you to learn now. For this week, you get used to the surrounding environment first. Starting next week, lessons will begin ... so will your practice."
"I understand, Master!" answer Nam without rejection.
"Although the Qi in your body will grow slowly over time as it absorbs the Qi energy around passively, to me, now is not the time for you to practice Qi.
Do you know the reason?"
Hearing Adam's question, Nam shook his head innocently.
"I don't know, Teacher."
"It's because of your physical condition. You are still young and I feel that training the Qi energy will be too much for now. So, for now and the next three years.
Of course, you should also go to school after learning basic knowledge. After graduating Elementary School and your physical condition is better, I will teach you to practice Qi energy."
"This disciple understands, Master."
Nam did not seem to care much about physical exercise or Qi energy. Instead, the boy seemed very excited to go to school and study.
Totally different from today's children who are still lazy school even though all his wishes have been obeyed.
Adam thought as he shook his head. At that moment, Nam's voice was heard again.
"Annu ... The teacher?"
"What's wrong?" ask Adam.
"I want to give something to you, Master."
"En?"
The boy then took out an old book whose every page was made of unknown leather.
[The Azure Cloud Stream ]
A method of purification of wind and water type Qi energy. One of the guidebooks of a certain sect. If practiced to the extreme, it can reach the height of the Gold Spirit (High).
...
Looking at a special manual similar in wuxia novels or something like that, Adam was stunned. He then looked at Nam.
"This?"
"This book is the legacy of my mother, Master. Because I can't read, I don't know what it is.".
"Why did you give it to me?"
"Because before my mother died, he advised me to keep this book and not show it to anyone .. except someone who can really be trusted."
"..."
Looking at the boy who turned out to be smarter than he expected, Adam was stunned. Then he thought of strange things.
Did you die strangely? Starting cultivation practice? Getting strong and starting revenge?
Isn't that what characters from some of the novels I read in my previous life did?
Seeing Nam who was quite heroic, Adam let out a long sigh. It was really unexpected that it would take a disciple with such a mysterious background in the classic story.
As a teacher, wouldn't I be the target of those who are after Nam? I think I should practice more.
Adam thought with a bitter smile on his face.
