The Way of the Sword (BL)

Then Zemin Yan's little group got bigger, the kids got well behaved behind Yun San, as they all had a problem in their childhood, they didn't quickly trust other people mainly in young people coming from a big city.

Whether or not the members of this small group trusted only themselves, they had already spent at least more than 15 days working together, well… also facing death several times, since the attacks of the Magoru Empire did not cease and at any moment they could have died, so the group's friendship was more strengthened, clearly, they put a subtle barrier between them and the four young people, yes, that includes Yun San.

Shou Zuo mostly didn't like Bai Lin, because he looked too smart… Cofh… Cofh… Most likely because Bai Lin was equally curved as Shou Zuo, of course, for him this exotic man had bad taste for men. Yes, Shou Zuo, looked down at Huang Deshi, he despised this kind of fragile beauty and cold temper.

Hu Dewen was in front of the group with his servant and bodyguard, in the second back were Bai Lin and Huang Deshi, in the third part Yun San was walking along with Quian Dalai, who was holding his cheek with a pained expression. In the last part were Zemin Yan and the rest of the group.

Bai Lin shivered on his back, someone in that group was looking at him menacingly, his blood containing the Golden Wing Panther lineage, an ancient beast began to boil as if challenged. This surprised this handsome man a little since his lineage only reacts in some cases, such as his life is at risk, his anger, or finding a stronger lineage that he felt challenged to fight.

As Bai Lin ruled out the first two hypotheses, so there was only the surprise of the third hypothesis, which was a very pleasant thing, only to know who was the bearer of such a lineage. An evil smile formed on the handsome face of this Moor, Huang Deshi looked at that smile and felt a shiver through his body, ah his best friend found something fun to do ... Someone would get hurt, just wondering if it would be your best friend or not.

The walk was short and soon this strange group arrived before an imposing wooden building, this was a restaurant with five floors and covered 100m² of land space, the street in front of this establishment was very quiet, the city guards passed every 10 minutes keeping order in the streets, food stalls were not seen near those streets, there were only culinary stall and rare herbs, there was even a 100-year-old ginseng stall!

Of course, none of this came into Yun San's, Huang Deshi's, Bai Lin's and Hu Dewei's eyes, that for them was very common, they even had some herbs that were considered rare in their space rings, especially Huan Deshi. Yun San didn't care about that, as he had items, herbs, and food in his own ring, and these things were given by the sect, he himself had space rings with thousands of times more valuable items, which he himself will find in his adventures outside the sect, or on missions given by the sect.

Most impressive with this level of herbs and food ingredients, of course, were Wen Jie and Chu Yue, the first who came from a large, strong village but had little cultivator resources. Already the 10-year-old girl had been trapped inside her uncles' small mansion for much of her life, which leaves the mystery of how she managed to escape and reach village 10 to test the sect… But that will be for another time.

The others showed a certain level of interest in the herbs and food ingredients, but they were just faking it, especially Zemin Yan, who had all sorts of herbs in his old ring, what drew his most attention was red-colored rice. In its space ring was only large grain rice of a pearly tone, which when stacked in a sack looked like a real treasure. This red rice looked strangely evil and fierce, since its large pearly rice gave a gentle and refined aura, arousing an innate curiosity of its age.

Zemin Yan sighed, blaming himself for ignoring Master Cook and Grain Masters' jade discs when he was selecting the skills he should develop over these Master Cook. This will be addressed further in the future. He decided that he would learn later, depending on how the sect would treat him and his friends. After all, the sect can be stingy when it comes to feeding them, so he would have to prepare for the future!

Yi Yuga was not impressed with these herbs and culinary ingredients, as he had his brother Yan supplying pills, food, and showed several things rarer and more interesting than these items, meaning as long as Zemin Yan is not truly impressed, he , Yi Yuga would not pay attention.

Quian Dalai paid no attention to anything on this street since it was not a weapon or some cultivation manual, he would have no interest, of course, because of his ignorance of the magical herbs and the importance of the martial cultivator's diet. to have until reaching the Immortal Kingdom. Strangely this glutton and battle maniac had little knowledge in the gastronomic field that helps a lot in martial cultivation, but this may be the fault of his poor upbringing and lack of cultivation resources.

At the entrance was the restaurant manager, this was a short, fat man with a thin mustache and thin, slanted eyes, giving him a good-natured, cheerful look. His name was unimportant, he bowed to the group and led them to the very luxurious and exquisite fourth floor with artfully designed canvases and each room was protected by a grade three matrix, which would prevent even cultivators from the Aurore Core realm could hear some conversation.

There was the fifth floor which had fourth and fourth grade matrices, which even the cultivators of the Rising Soul kingdom could not hear the conversations, but, wisely the manager did not take these distinguished guests to the fifth floor, he had the impression that this it would draw too much unnecessary attention and could attract uninvited guests to approach the distinguished guest, who is the core disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect.

The matrices thus, like the alchemy pills also had a division of their own and their own rules for leveling up and about their qualities. Like alchemy, the level of the matrices depended on three things: 1st the level of the master or masters of the matrix; 2nd level of materials in the assembly of the matrix; and 3rd the lifetime that a matrix could exist in a given environment without maintenance.

The first two requirements can be met with expert study, while the third requirement really depends on the level of talent or broad knowledge, such as geography, history, culture, and site growth, which takes even more time than focusing on specialization itself about matrices.

The matrix masters are also divided by color, ranging from white to teal: 1. White; .2 Gray; 3. Lilac; 4. Violet; 5; Blue; 6. Ocean Blue; 7. Night Blue; and 8. Petroleum Blue. Within these divisions, there are 4 levels, which determine the growth of the matrix master these are: 1. Elementary Level; 2. Wide Level View; 3. Soul Level; and 4. Unity Level with the Environment.

The matrices can be divided into degrees, and every two degrees can be compared to the cultivator levels that the Matrix Master has to have to perform the assembly and operation of the matrix. Grade 1 through grade 2 are matrices that can be set by the Refinement Kingdom cultivator Qi; From grade 3 to grade 4 they can be set by the Foundation kingdom cultivators… So on.

It should be remembered that the matrices have the function of establishing a certain change in the environment either to defend, attack or deceive, using the surrounding environment, the mysterious materials that are used in the assembly of the matrix, the core of the controlling core, the matrix is ​​the power of the matrix master or matrix master group.

Arrays, in general, must overcome the power of the matrix master or group of masters, as it will use the power of the environment and materials to be established, for example, a grade 1 matrix can be assembled by a matrix apprentice, which is in the realm of refinement Qi, but the power of this matrix will be the realm of the Foundation.

A matrix apprentice only becomes a master when he can build a 5th-grade matrix, so he is graduated and given a tunic or emblem with the symbol of a white matrix master, that is, this master of matrix will have to be a cultivator of the Aurore Core kingdom.

Now, back to the group in the hallway, which was facing a little dilemma, while everyone was in the hallway.

The group was quite large for the small room, which would normally fit 6 people, so Yun San decided to split the group in two. The disciple Aurore Core of the Heavenly Sword sect would enter Hu Dewei, Bai Lin and Huang Deshi, Zemin Yan's group was allocated to the next room. Yes, it was decided that Yun San wanted to remove the children from this group of strangers.
