I am the Young Master

Chapter 6: Immortal everywhere

Traveling to the coral city was fun, to say the least. It’s not every day that you get to fly somewhere and this time I was using a ‘flying treasure’.

This thing is really a luxury. Even in my past life, I was pretty much into flying and paragliding so this is like heaven for me.

I mean the speed is like using a Bugatti and this is not the limit of the device but the hard limit determined by my meager cultivation in contrast to this flying treasure’s grade.

In this world having or finding a treasure doesn’t mean that you can use it. First of all, you have to have the ability to keep the treasure because ‘might makes right’. Second of all, you have to have the minimum requirement to use the treasure, and even having the minimum requirements doesn’t mean that you can use the treasure at its full capacity.

Let me put it in simpler terms; it’s like when you want to install a game and it has minimal system requirements and recommended system requirements, in minimal setting you get to run the game in low graphics with ~30 FPS but if you have the recommended system you get to play the game at its best. These treasures are the same.

Somehow I don’t doubt if I were to tell this analogy to other cultivators they would spurt out blood.

The tools have 6 main categories here; Magic Tool, Spirit Tool, Treasure Tool, Spirit Treasure, True Spirit Treasures, and fairy artifacts. Each grade has 9 ranks with 3 sub ranks; low, mid, and peak.

This baby that I’m using for transportation is a 5th rank low-grade treasure tool. It is a treasure even in the divine central continent and you can not easily buy it even if you have the money for it.

With me goofing around we got to the coral city in an hour and forty minutes. Luckily for me, we got there in less than 2 hours.

We got down from our flying treasures when we got close to the city wall.

This city is close to the sea and because of its geographical properties got the name coral city as its name.

Getting close to the guards I could see the agitation in the guards’ eyes.

‘Ah! Of course, they know from our robes that we are from the heavenly sword sect…’

“Young master, seniors welcome!” said one of the guards while cupping his fist and bowing to us. The other guard followed right after.

I just nodded at him with a small smile on my face.

“This is for our entry fee. You can keep the change.” I throw him a high-grade spirit stone.

His eyes shone like a lamp and he snatched the high-grade spirit stone as if I might take it back.

With 100 golds, you can get a low-grade spirit stone.

With a thousand low-grade spirit stones, you can get one mid-grade spirit stone.

With a thousand mid-grade spirit stones, you can get one high-grade spirit stone.

For your interest let me tell you the entry for the city for each cultivator is 10 gold. So I overpaid about one and a half million times if you include the elders with me.

Why would I do that? Well… I don’t want to waste time waiting for some change, so wasting money is better than wasting time.

I mean I have a shitload of these so this is nothing for me and it would improve this guard’s life so yeah.

“Thank you, young master! Forgive my brashness but I know the best inn in the city, allow me to guide you.” He said with a face full of gratitude.

Looking at him for a moment I chose to let him guide us.

“Show the way…”

Following him, we soon arrived at a large inn, if it can be called an inn …

“This is the place young master.” The guard said politely.

It looked like an Indian palace and was out of my expectation. I have seen better buildings in the sect but even so, this was beyond what I thought I would see in a city.

In front of the inn, you could see a big sign ‘naked immortal palace’.

My mouth twitched.

What the hell is this? Can’t you use something else other than immortal in the name? Does everything have to be immortal?

Never mind that, why is the immortal naked? Is the immortal an exhibitionist? What the hell is going on here? Just who is the idiot who named it this way?

At that time I remembered the guard who guided us here.

What is this? Is this cultivation world version of the nude beach? I tried it once in my past life and I still have mental scars.

I turned to face him. This little bastard better have a good reason for guiding us here.

“Is the ‘naked’ in this place’s name implies something that we should know?” I asked him with a ‘kind’ smile on my face.

I could see the guard visibly shaking in fear from my ‘kind’ smile. He kowtowed immediately in front of me.

“Y-young master, a misunderstanding! There is a misunderstanding!” he spoke so fast that I almost thought he is rapping something…

“Continue…”

“There is indeed a naked beach in this inn…” He continued fearfully.

‘Well, I can donate him as a male prostitute to a brothel.’

Just as I was looking for ropes in my space ring to tie him up he quickly added.

“…But there is a normal part! That is why I brought you here, young master!”

“Haaah… get up and go.”

“Thank you for your magnanimity!”

I think I got nude-beach-phobia. Just as I had a good day flying and flexing this had to shit on it. Well, we are already here, we might as well get a room.

*sigh*

“Elders, let us enter this inn, I have a matter to settle, so we will be going from here in approximately half an hour.”

After getting some rooms for our temporary stay here, I contacted uncle Aram.

“Uncle, come to naked immortal palace…”

Just as I uttered this unholy name I cursed the seven generations of this place owner’s ancestors.

After a moment of silence, my uncle answered.

“Brat, do you have one of those tendencies?”

“Oh shut it old man! I just got a room nothing more! Enough about me, does aunt know that you know places like this? Tsk, tsk.” I retorted.

“Fuck you brat! I have information about everything, don’t spout nonsense!”

“*sigh*Just get here uncle. I’m at room number 420.”

“…Okay.”

Five minutes later there was a knock on the door.

Getting up I opened the door.

“From when do doors stop you uncle.” I told uncle Aram while getting back to sit on the chair.

“I didn’t want to see something that I should not.” He answered.

There was a vein popping on my temple but I didn’t talk back.

“Uncle I want you to find people with the conditions like the ones that I have written here.” I handed him an information jade.

“The combinations are important, for example, there has to be black hair plus a broken engagement from the girl part plus sudden increase in cultivation…” I started lecturing him.

“Oh! If the engagement is broken from the boy part you have to check for a change in personality.” I nodded to myself.

“I don’t know about gender-bender or female lead ones so for that you have to wait a bit, I’ll give you the female version later. for now, focus on the male gender.”

“Anyway. Check this in all continents but smaller ones are more important because they start from a low-level zone to level up.” I added with a smile.

He just looked at me like I’m crazy.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I frowned.

“Brat, do you do drugs?” he asked me with suspicion.

“Old man just tell me you won’t help, I’ll ask aunt for help…” I answered him while sounding dejected.

Now it was uncle Aram’s turn to pop a vein.

“Brat, just tell me why you need these pieces of information?” he calmed himself down and asked me.

“For now all I can say is that there might be someone with these specifications that will try to kill me.” I answered him matter-of-factly.

Just as he opened his mouth to ask more, I raised my hand.

“Uncle, this is all I can tell you for now. I just hope that you can help me with finding people who check out these specifications…”

There was silence in the room for a minute. After that uncle raised his head and looked at me.

“Okay brat, I’ll help you with this but know that you owe me.” He answered me smugly.

“Don’t worry old man, if it works how I hope it does, you won’t be dissatisfied.” Just thinking of getting the MC’s cheat made stars in my eyes.

“We will see brat.” He grinned. This old man can smell money anywhere.

I grinned at him too.

“Okay old man, you can go away now. I have places to be.” I waved my hand in front of him dismissively.

“Brat, you know there aren’t many that dare to talk to me this way? You think I won’t hit you?” He told me angrily.

“Old man, you and I both know that If you touch me, aunt will kill you and use your blood for a ritual to bring me back even from the afterlife. Ah! but don’t let this affect your Dao heart…” I answered him with fake concern.

I could feel his blood boiling, but he knows that I am right.

“Anyway see you around old man, give me a call if you find someone from the list…” I hastily got out of the room and signaled the elders to go for the ancient sword mark.
