Yi Yuan Sheng walked across the dirt streets of Yi Clan village, occasionally avoiding some of the people going to his opposite direction before finally arriving at a certain location.
The location was a gate to a temple on top of a small grassy mound of dirt, with red wooden pillars supporting a gray roof.
Yi Yuan Sheng entered the temple, reaching a small garden surrounded by a building which had the shape of a donut but a box, in other words, a massive square with a hole in the middle, which was the garden. Said building's walls were made out of thin layers of light brown coloured bark with red outlines, with occasional square windows outlined with red wood. And, the entrance to the building had a wooden porch with wooden pillars supporting a red roof, which was the roof used by the building.
In the garder, below Yi Yuan Sheng was a dirt path which leaded to places inside the garden.
One of the locations the paths lead to was a tree to Yi Yuan Sheng's left, about 3-5 meters away. The other location was infront of Yi Yuan Sheng, the entrance to the temple.
And on the porch of the building, an old man sat on a bamboo mat with his legs crossed.
He had elegant white robes, his beard which was sharp and goes down to his chest was white, and so was his hair which was tied back.
And what made him even more elegant are his eyes, yes those sharp, peacefully closed eyes.
"Hmm... Who is it? Speak," The old man sad with a horse tone, almost as if he was in his last breath.
"Lord Acedemy Elder(spelling lmfao), junior clansmen pays his respects!" Yi Yuan Sheng said, as he bowed, his head touching the ground as he got on all fours.
"Hmm... I see," the Acedemy Elder opened his eyes as he formed a warm smile, "tell me junior clansmen, what is it do you want?"
"This junior clansmen only wants to borrow a Qi which helps in cultivation, any will do. Additionally, I will be willing to give 25 extra gold after this humble junior is done with his work!"
"Oh, no. No need, no need," the Acedemy Elder said in a kind manner. "Here, take it, take it," the old man said as he tossed a butterfly towards Yi Yuan Sheng, flying towards said person after it got boosted by the Acedemy Elder's throw.
"This junior thanks Lord Elder!" Yi Yuan Sheng stated as he bowed. And for the next few seconds, he stayed there, bowing.
"Oh, junior, hehe, no need to overly pay respects to this shriveled old man, you may go!" The Acedemy Elder laughed as he made a waving motion to indicate "go."
"Then this junior shall go! And thank you again Acedemy Elder," Yi Yuan Sheng said as he left.
After he left the temple, he continued walking, back to his master, and adoptive father's residence.
He was making his way back there when suddenly his vision turned black.
