Southern border
Li clan
Dressed in long purple robe, the elderly rank four li clan head met the middle aged Jia Fu with a genial smile, noticing the weary look of the merchant. He couldn't help but shaking his head secretly 'it would seemed the competition of the brothers has only intestified,'
" Brother Jia Fu, it is good to see you again, we have not finished talking last time, come I have made preparation for food and baths, tonight let us enjoy ourselves," a wide smile broke through Jia Fu faces before cupping his fist,
"You know me too well brother Li, please lead the way."

After paying a three primeval stone as a toll, he entered the village gates and made his way to the bazaars.
Village road had become muddy by the rain, and with the influx of Gu masters was even more crowded and slower to navigate, it was with this that he spotted a large man driven wagon stuck, the wheels unable to move against the mudd filled roads.
The elderly Gu master carrying this wagon was getting chewed out by the surrounding Gu masters, seeing his weary expression, chang fang ignored them, squeezing and pushing his way through he finally made his way toward the merchant center of the village.
Dozens of stalls and tents spring up like mushrooms, the surrounding was filled with Gu masters shouting to sell their merchandise,
"White dust for thirteen primeval stones, a must have ingredients for successful purple toxin Gu refinement,"
"A full rank three strength path inheritance, quickly buy it for only two thousand three hundred primeval stones, it won't last for long,"
Where ever he turned he saw the bustling merchants and Gu masters interaction. Slowly he made through different stalls and tents, mapping out the whole area before he finally decided to head toward his first destination.
In the center of the merchant caravan laid a large tent with the Jia family sigil, he had already observed and already knew some information so he entered with unhurried steps.
The first think he noticed was the large open spaced, and the wispy scent of spices in the air, before he took another step-
"Esteemed sir, what kind of business does one such as yourself intend to do with he Jia family," a white haired old man stepped over a wooden oak desk, before he reached him with a genial smile.
"I'm seeking to sell a Gu worms, and wish to take out a loan,"
Gazing upon the straw hat and masked covered Gu master, the white haired old man didn't argue but just nodded. "That's no problem, So what should you be using as collateral damage for the loan?"

Li clan tavern restaurant
Entering the medium sized restaurant with colourful poles, he was quickly welcomed.
"Here master a cloth to wipe your shoes, and What do kind of food do you want to order sir,
A thin lanky middle aged man quickly greeted him, with a warm and flattering smile, Chang fang was wearing plain tunic shirt and pants, and deep brown leather shoes soaked with mud, taking the cloth tissue he scrubbed his shoes before throwing it to the garbage bin.
"Get me a roasted duck with a few side dishes, and some green wine," ordering his food he made his way to the back table against the window, ignoring the bustling sound of the rest of the diners.
Time slowly passed as he watched the passing crowd, his mind split as he continued to nourish and refined his aperture continuously. while he couldn't help but thinking about his now dead uncle.
It had been quite simple to slaughtered the old ox, but his mind wasn't interested in that but the Gu worm he was able to capture.
"Sir it's closing time, will you be staying for a room tonight," the nervous voice of the restaurant owner reached him, his face was dazed for a second, his ink black orbs containing nothing as he lifted them up.
For a moment his mind flashed back to thunder, an endless rain fell against the earth, his figure stood over the a now mangled corpse blood soaking his feet and the ground below.
The earth hungrily drinking the life of the now deceased old man, another lightning cracked smashing against and splitting a tree, at the center of it stood a crackling and buzzing Gu insect.
He slowly stood up, as he dropped a primeval stone on the desk one for the meal and two more for the night.
"I will be back later tonight, so take my food to my room," whispering softly he pushed against the chair before exiting the restaurant and heading toward the gambling house.
"Wait he didn't even eat any of the food?" the restaurant owner couldnt help but being surprised as he stared at the untouched food.
