The Primordial Paragon Of The Elements - Chapter 2

After he left home, it did not take him more than a few hours to make his way the 10 miles to Redwood City upon which he was stunned, because until now the only places he had been are his father’s house and the orphanage where he was adopted. Neither of those were in a city they were on the far edges of a city or outside a city in a more remote town. His father’s house was not even in a town or city it was just on the way between a city and a town.

The reason he was stunned when he arrived at the edge of the city was because the wall of the city was imposing they were at least 500 meters tall and 100 meters thick. It was indeed a sight to behold there were even things that looked like weird drawing on the wall making it look truly mystical. The combination of this and the pressure the city gave off indeed made one feel small and showed just how grand the place is.

As Ling Tian was walking into Redwood City he could be described in just a few words “Country Bumkin,” and this is absolutely true because he has never been to a big city. When he made it to the gate, the guard stopped him and said: “To enter the city you need to pay 50 copper otherwise we will not allow you to enter.” Ling Tian responded and said, “Thank you for letting me know, could you tell me if it is cheaper if someone is a cultivator or more expensive.” After he asked the guard looked at him like he was looking at a fool and responded with “haha a cultivator you, your just a country bumpkin I saw how you looked at the city wall, and you expect me to believe you are a cultivator. If you are at the qi Consolidation Realm you can come in for free otherwise you have to pay the fee.” Ling Tian sighed at this he knew that he would have to pay the fee to enter although Ling Tian was at the edge of the Qi Condensation realm he did not step into it and his father told him to make it look like he was at the 7th step of the Body Refinement Realm so he would have to pay. The problem was that when he left he had not packed that much into his bag he only had about 1 silver on him and now half of that would be needed just to enter the city. Other than the money he brought some clothes as well as some food.

As he handed the guard the silver coin and received back the other 50 copper, he asked “are they any places that I could stay the night at for a low price” the guard responded with a “piss off and hurry up and go inside.” At this Ling Tian could not help but get angry at the guard’s response, but there was nothing he could do about it because he could feel quite a lot of pressure coming from the guard so he could guess that the guard was at least at the Qi condensation realm. That was about the only other Realm that Ling Tian knew about.

After Ling Tian made his way inside the city wall, he realised just how vast the inside was, because he could not see the enormous wall that would be on the other side of the city that you would expect. The first thing Ling Tian did was make his way to the nearest in and ask “What is the price for staying the night for food and board at this place.” The lady at the counter responded with “depending on the room it can be anywhere from 5 copper to a silver, what is your price range pre-night.”, Ling Tian responded with “let’s see I plan on staying about 2 nights and 10 copper should be my price range”. “Very well you will be in room 21 hear is the room is down the hall on the right side on the first floor enjoy your stay” the lady responded “Thank you” Ling tian said as he made his way to his room. After he got their he but his stuff down on the bed and went out to explore the city and find out about where he could join one of the sects.

For this, he remembers that in a book the read the best place to find out information from was from a bar or somewhere that served food. So he made his way to the closest bar that was just down the street from where he was staying, and sure enough, Ling Tian heard about what he was looking for from one of the customers that were talking to another one. Both of the customers were rather well built and look like they had far too much muscle for them to fight very well if he had to guess he would say the muscles were for show. As the two were talking he hear this “did you hear that some Five Elements Sect the second biggest sect in the province is going to be accepting disciples in our town tomorrow.” “Ya I heard about that but sadly neither of us qualify, you to qualify you have to be under 16 years old to attempt it. I heard that the son of the city lord is going to be trying and he is already at the qi condensation Realm at the age of 13.”

When Ling Tian heard this, he was ecstatic he found out that he had arrived in town just in time, but he was shocked by what one of the big guys said about the city lord’s son was already in the Qi Condensation at the age of only 13. It must be know that Ling tian could have stepped into Qi Condensation at the age of 11 but he did not he stayed in Bod Refinement to set the most stable base he could because it is said that “A tall tower must have sturdy foundations otherwise it will crumble to the ground.” This was the first time he had someone to compare himself to since he started training because he had no idea how good his talent was compared to others and his old man certainly never told him. After thinking this Ling Tian asked the two men “Where is the test being held I would like to go see the power young city lord,” he found in the books he had read the Main protagonists would sometimes ask in the roundabout matter to avoid trouble, so he decided to try it. Sure enough one of the men responded “ha ha kid you sure are smart to want to expand your horizons, let me tell you the test will be taking place at mid-day tomorrow on the city lords castle grounds. As the Five Elements Sect, main sect grounds are not in the city or even near our Redwood city” “Thanks for letting me know guys I appreciate it.” With that Ling Tian left to go back to the inn to get some rest for the test tomorrow.
