Chapter 51:House with a Courtyard (2/2)
Behind the house was a small courtyard with an artificial-looking, small pond in it. He walked up to the pond and took a look at it.
What he saw was an unrecognizable man with long black hair and blue eyes. The man was wearing a light green robe with red all over it.
'Is that… me?' he thought. He had only seen his in-game appearance once when he first made the character. That was a 5-second glance that he checked no further after that. Looking at it now after nearly 2 weeks. He was surprised at how different he looked from real life.
He decided to take a bath right here with the water in the pond. He took off his clothes and looked at his well-built body. 'I wouldn't mind having this body for real.' He thought.
He used Qi manipulation to carry some water from the pond and poured it over himself. He started washing away the hardened blood in his hairs and skins.
The water running down his body turned red as they washed away all the blood. As he was rubbing away more blood, he noticed something.
On his left arm, where the wolf had first hit him, there was a red scar. The scar was in the shape of a monster's paw.
'Did the wolf hit me so hard that it left a paw mark even after healing the wound?' he thought. He slowly touched the tattoo-like scar, wondering if it would ever heal.
”Hmm…” he thought he felt something from the scar. Something like a vibration from a sound. He touched it once more, but nothing happened. So, he went back to cleaning himself.
After he was done bathing, he took out his remaining clean robe and wore it. After that was done, It was time to go down to the sect valley for the multitude of things he had to do.
He walked down the sect leader's mountain and quickly reached the bottom. As he was walking out, an elder he had never seen before, came up to him and asked, ”Are you, Yu Ming?”
”Yes,” he said skeptically, not knowing what the elder wanted.
”Give me your nameplate,” he asked. Alex took out his nameplate and handed it to this elder. The elder took out a medallion and held it as he placed Alex's nameplate on his forehead.
Soon after, he handed back the nameplate and said, ”With this, you have the freedom to go to the alchemy garden, and can take out anything you want from there without charge. But make sure not to go overboard with what you take. While you may have the right to take the ingredients from there, you do not have the right to waste those ingredients for your own selfish reasons, understand.”
The elder seemed a little too stern. Alex agreed without question. Besides, he didn't intend to use that many resources from the gardens anyway. He would only use them when he couldn't find the items elsewhere.
After the elder let him go, he started walking straight to the Disciple Hall. He had taken a 3-day leave and needed to tell them that he was back.
