Chapter 5 - Banquet at the Qin’s Mansion (1/2)

“Ye Shang, what are you talking about? You did help us. Let’s take a break first, then we will help you find a caravan, so you can go to Danding City and then Danding Mountain easily. Didn’t I tell you that Medicine Valley only recruit disciples for one month every year? It isn’t too late now.” Yang Sen looked at Ye Shang and said.

“Okay! Thank you.” Ye Shang did not refuse. He knew that Yang Sen was a man of loyalty. Lin Qiao had a bad temper, but it wasn’t hard to get along with him.

Ye Shang didn’t live in the inn but was taken to his home by Du Chong.

After freshening up and dining, Ye Shang began to cultivate.

20 days of cultivation made Ye Shang feel the changes. Before the cultivation, his punch was only five or six hundred pounds. But after the cultivation, with the help of qi, his strength had obviously increased a lot.

To become strong enough to overturn the world, was the dream of Ye Shang. As for his origin, Ye Shang had never given up finding about it, since it was only possible to obtain the clues after leaving Zhuyuan Village.

His cultivation lasted one day. Except dining, Ye Shang would keep meditating. He knew that he had a late start, and he couldn’t compare with other cultivators with better physique.

Whether a cultivator could rise up depended on two factors, one was talent, and the other was resource.

According to Yang Sen and Du Chong, Ye Shang knew that his talent was very good. These 23 days of cultivation were worthy of others cultivating for a few months or even six months with resources.

After Ye Shang cultivated for one day, he got a news from Du Chong.

“Ye Shang, good news. You don’t have to follow the caravan to Danding Mountain. The team in Chiyang City which will head to Medicine Valley to participate in the apprenticeship hasn’t yet set off. I’ve informed the deputy city owner, so you can follow them.” Du Chong, who returned home, said happily.

“This is great!” Able to go directly to Medicine Valley, Ye Shang was very excited since he wouldn’t need to waste his time with caravans.

“Yeah, those going to Medicine Valley to participate in the apprenticeship are the best of Chiyang City, the city government will send an escort, so you don’t have to worry about safety.” Du Chong patted Ye Shang’s shoulder and said.

“Thank you, Brother Du.” For their help, Ye Shang was really grateful. If you didn’t meet them, he would probably spend way more time from Gunan Town Danding Mountain, and even missed the apprenticeship.

“Ye Shang, don’t be. You really did us a favor.” Du Chong shook his head and told Ye Shang about their past.

They were originally the guards of the Chiyang City Caravan. They encountered fierce robbers on a mission. All of them were seriously injured. At the most critical time, Qin Aoxuan, the deputy city owner of Chiyang City, showed up and saved them. Hence they had become the guards of Qin Aoxuan since then.

Qin Aoxuan only had one son named Qin Zen. Qin Zen was roughly as young as Ye Shang, but his veins shrank, leading to the fact he was unable to cultivate. Qin Aoxuan was anxious about it, which made Yang Sen and others anxious. Qin Aoxuan got the prescription from Medicine Valley, but couldn’t find the main ingredient, the gallbladder of the black dragon.

Black dragons weren’t too difficult to deal with for Qin Aoxuan. However, due to its scarcity, he hadn’t seen any for a few years. Ye Shang helped find the black dragon, which not only helped the Yang Sen and others, but also helped Qin Aoxuan.

Ye Shang also knew why Lin Qiao wanted him to serve as a servant of Qin Aoxuan at that time. Qin Zen, who was born in a well-known family, was somewhat lonely since he couldn’t cultivate. Hence Lin Qiao wanted to find a companion for Qin Zen.

“Don’t worry, the deputy city owner is busy treating the injured Qin Zen this two days. Master Qin Zen is also going to the Danding Mountain.” Du Chong looked at Ye Shang and said with a smile.

After chatting with Ye Shang for a while, Du Chong left.

Next night, Ye Shang stayed at Du Chong’s place to cultivate. Ye Shang wasn’t in a hurry since Qin Zen also wanted to go to Danding Mountain in Medicine Valley, they certainly wouldn’t leave him alone.
