Hao stood on top of a jagged cliff, his pure wihite robes clunged to his pristine appearance. Anyone who saw the man standing on the cliff might mistaken him as a great immortal figure, with untouchable aura like he is the great wise sage.
His eyes are cold with blue and a hint of green color, black colored hair flowing like a river extending to his back, while the misty peaks adding a more mystical aura to the naked eye, while the truth is the man is just a mortal.
He take a fan and flip them, exhaling a heavy breath, 'why must I get transmigrated into those cultivation world.' Hao thought as he looked at the village on the valley below the mountain range. Surrounded by a mountain and located in the deep valley makes the village lead on isolated life.
'C'mon now where's my cheat? My system? The so called transmigrator privilege?' Hao let out another sigh, his hand flipped through the scroll he had bought earlier in the day, he didn't need to pay for it. It's just a news scroll moreover everyone mistaken him as an immortal so no one dares to charge price for him.
The new world he inhabited is called Rumia, and from the general knowledge book and other common piece of information Hao picked up on the street, he must be in the Great Sun Kingdom. Located on the southern territory of the east continent.
This world big landmasses are divided into 5 major piece, central, north, south, east, and west continent. But asside from that information he found a few days before, Hao didn't found anything more useful. Rather, he found more and more gossip about Mr. Chen's affair with Mr. Lin's daughter.
He sighs. "It's that time of the month now does it. Let's go to the village." Hao picked up a few silve tael on his drawer. Once every 6 month Hao would buy basic necessity for life in his cave, he trade them with couple of books of poem or sometime he just sell them to those scholar. In this period of time, scholar too is highly respected, poem and painting can fetch a high price depending on the author's name and fame, and fortunately for Hao he had already established his name.
"Uncle Jiao, like usual, meat, spices and vegetable. You now what i used to buy right?" Hao ask the middle age man standing infront of his shope, his hair is already started balding.
"Oh it's Venerable Hao. Thanks for coming to my shop. We gonna prepare your order shortly please wait." Uncle Jiao said, hurrying himself towards the backside of the shop behind the counter and grabbed a big gunny sack. Checking inside it's filled with basic cooking ingredients, cow meat and egg, vegetable like cucumber, tomato, and other cooking ingredients can also be seen.
Hao paid the bag with a few silver tael, that he got from the wandering merchant after they buy the poem he make. The rest of the shopping went rather uneventful, medicine, blank books and ink, and basic hygiene like soap.
On the square people can be seen gathered around usually kids would played around in this place but right now, that scene is replace with a bunch of people gathering. A bug cart with ox pulling it can be seen, it's the wandering merchant. Seeing the crowd Hao raised his brow in intrigued.
The crowd surrounding the merchant cart is normal but even for a normal occasion it wouldn't be that crowded. "What's up with this people here?" Hao ask one of the customer seemingly eager to buy something from the old man that opened his cart.
"These people said they have a heavenly treasure to sell today!" The man with a ragged clothes and bow on the back said enthusiastically.
'Heavenly Treasure!' Hao's eyes perkes, unexpectedly he also became excited with the promise of there could be a heavenly treasure.
Heavenly treasure is basically a third of the what decide your cultivation fate. To build your foundation and able to absorb the surrounding qi you need to first have a heavenly treasure, and absorbing will allow a person to step into the cultivation journey.
The higher the grade of the heavenly treasure the more powerful the cultivator based are, from lowest to highest the heavenly treasure are dibided into mortal realm, earth realm, mystical realm, heavenly realm, celestial realm, and then the origin realm.
And each realm have different stage from low, mid, to high and perfection stage. The highest realm a person had found a heavenly treasure is at the celestial realm, and even then it's a one in a millennial chnace of something like that to happened again.
The old man opened the cover on top of a glass box, "ladies and gentleman this here is a mid-stage earth realm heavenly treasure." The man showed a nice crystalized of a lotus flower. It showed an iridescent color of a blue and purple. The aura emanating from the box is enough to make people get charmed.
The surrounding onlookers murmured, whispering something like how beautiful it is or how much will it cost. Truth is these people gathering here didn't want to buy the treasure, they only want to see how heavenly treasure looks. Their life is isolated in this single place and entertainment here is very limited.
"May i touch it sir?" Hao raised his hand, for unknown reason he feels some attraction towards the heavenly treasure. He didn't plan to buy them just look at it very closely.
"Surely sir, if it's the Venerable Hao of course you can!" The man said with big smile, his silver teeth shown a glints.
Hao grabbed the box carefuly, something as precious as an earth realm treasure is nothing to be scoffed at, even the mortal realm treasure can fetch for hundreds of tael for mid grade one. Let alone an earth realm treasure at mid stage.
Touching the treasure it feels as if he is getting sucked into a difference worlds with different scenery. Warm sun and a light breeze of winds, vast fields where flower grow prosperous. The scenery is calming and invoking a warmth feeling inside Hao's heart. He relaxed his face and shoulder and for the first time since transmigrating, he let out a relaxed breath.
[Ding!]
A loud ringing bell shook the imaginary place, like a strong pull, Hao gets pulled to the reality once more. "Thank you sir, may you have a nice day." Hao gave the box back to the old man before leaving the square backgo his cave.
'finally my golden finger has arrived!'
