chop chop chop....
chopping off the wood sound continued.
dip dip dip...
drops of sweat dropped on the ground.
sun rays falling on his face. with the help of his hand, he swept the sweat off his face.
Zhang ruishi is preparing the necessary things to travel for the journey ahead of him.
He first needs to attend disciple's hall in the clan and notify the cultivation path he chosen to spirit master Fu yanyu and from there he needs to go to the provided location to start his cultivation.
There was a problem he faced, during this journey he didn't have any idea, where zhang yi nuo can stay.
he can't ask someone to look after zhang yi nuo and he can't hire someone to look after her. the only thing he can do was to take her with him. for that zhang ruishi need a vehicle to travel.
He went inside the home, and he activated the heat thread glass ball.
The red thread is tied on the right hand of zhang yi nuo and he tied orange thread to his right hand. on his way back he closed the door tightly.
Zhang ruishi tied the chopped woods together and started going towards Lie Yan village by carrying the chopped woods on his back.
after walking for a long time, he reached outside of the Lie yan village.
after entering Lie yan village he walked past some building before stopping Infront of the wooden shop, the shop is in the colour red, one can tell it was built by the flame-red wood. he went inside the wooden shop, inside and outside the shop looked like it was built many years before there where some spots had changes on the roof and on the side walls, Zhang ruishi was looking around, there where all types of wooden material present from common wood to flame red wood. flame-red wood is a type of wood which is present in blazing wind mountain. once the spiritual energy is observed there will be flame red tree left behind with that one can get flame red wood. This wood gives 20 times more flame compared to normal wood, the wood is red in colour but zhang ruishi eyes fell on a glass bottle which is placed on wooden table, inside the bottle one can see a cloud is floating.
with curious zhang ruishi was about to touch it.
"don't you dare do anything funny kid" a hoarse voice came from behind zhang ruishi
zhang ruishi body jolted, he immediately turned around. A old man was standing behind him. By seeing the old man appearance Zhang ruishi took a step back.
The old man has hair in the shape of small tree roots but the colour is red and his skin is brown in colour. He was in green robe. His eyes are dark green in colour without observation, no one can Identify whether it is black or dark green.
"Tell me brat what business do you have with me," asked the old man.
Zhang ruishi took out a piece of paper and handover to the old man and said "master yang Huang ,my name is Zhang ruishi I have selected for the spirit master competition and I have to attend to disciples hall in the clan for The third stage, I have a favor and it will be only done by you master" said zhang ruishi without stopping for breath.
master yang Huang looked at the piece of paper given by the zhang ruishi. it has a wooden carriage drawn in it. by looking at the paper old man Huang understood.
"So, you need this wooden carriage, are you some lazy brat who can't even walk to the clan or you have to be rich. For this it will cost you around a 2-3 fire or wooden spiritual stone" said the old man with serious face.
zhang ruishi kneel on the ground and requested "master I am not rich or lazy, I have a sister who is suffering from an illness, I can't leave her here alone, there are no one to look after her, please help me, I will remember this favor for the rest of my life".
by zhang ruishi words the old man serious face loosens, after thinking he said "is that the reason then how about this, you can attend to the disciple hall in the clan and return as fast as you can until then I will ask someone to look after her. if no one, I will myself look after her".
zhang ruishi with fear look on his face said "but master I will be not coming to this village after attending to the disciple hall in the clan"
Old man looked at Zhang ruishi and said with serious toon "so, you're not going to choose fire path cultivation"
