Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

I left the city soon enough. I had no more attachments towards it, and I would eventually come back anyways. The horse rode forward at a frightening speed, and I covered a lot of ground in very little time. I passed by a lot of empty land, and a few villages here and there, but did not want to make a stop until I got to a proper inn. I wanted some good food and a bed to rest in before I continued.

With nothing to do other than to just ride along, it was pretty boring. The sound of the horse was monotonous. If only I could just teleport to the Black Swamp Forest, then I would get rid of all these extra steps.

I stopped in some inn and slept after having a good meal. I made sure that the horse was well tended to in the stables. The fact that every inn that I came across had a stable surprised me, but it was to be expected given that the primary way of transport here was by horse.

“Urghhh. There is nothing for me to do. I don’t know what to do right now.” I grumbled.

“You could cultivate for now. I understand that you wish to get stronger in a small period of time, do you not. Not wasting any time at all, and cultivating helps. You can use the inferior cultivation method that your father taught you. The one where you actually have to mediate and sit down.” Liu Man suggested.

“I am not meditating. If I suddenly have some breakthrough like during my Foundation Establishment stage breakthrough, then I will get stuck here for a few days, and I will not reach the sect on time. I am not in a hurry to get to the Core Formation Stage any time soon. Actually, I need to use the Foundation Tempering Pill that I got in the martial gathering. I remember someone saying that I would be the one with the most benefit because I was at a lower cultivation level. I need to use it after I get to the sect.” I shook my head.

“If you are not cultivating, and you are not going to practise anything, then of course you are going to get bored. Why not do something else. Why not learn a new skill that is not a combat skill. Why not read. Knowledge is power. There are books everywhere, and you can get a few somewhere. This may not be a city, but a town still has a good book selection. You can learn about the place that you are in. It is my understanding that you are still very clueless about the world that we live in.” Liu Man said.

“Not really. I understand the more important parts. But I could actually use the extra information. And this place is getting stuffy, and I am not so sleepy. Every since I grew stronger, I find sleep less and less necessary. If the horse could continue to run all day long, then I would actually do that.” I shook my head.

After I left the inn, I looked around. When I first went to the Kaishi city, I thought that it was much smaller than the normal city. But comparing this town to even the Kaishi city, it was pitifully small. There were still a few people standing here or there. I looked around. It was a calm place. It was getting a little dark, and all of a sudden, I had a very bad feeling.

I looked around. I could see nothing in the surroundings. The area behind the bushes was dark, but I could feel someone staring at me.

I activated my mind eye, looking at the darkness. My eyes widened immediately.

“Level-10

Name – Hongse One

Cultivation – Foundation Establishment stage 2nd layer”

“Level – 8

Name – Hongse Five

Cultivation – Qi Condensation Stage Peak”

“What kind of names are there? Are they part of some cult or something?”

One by one, names popped up behind the bushes. These people obviously did not want their presence to be known. Whoever they were, they did not have any good intentions.

They were not too powerful, but numbers could do so much damage. I took a step back.

“Bandits!” someone near the bushes suddenly shouted.

Aargh!

Almost immediately, the same person screamed out in fear. The smell of blood was in the air.

“Bandits are here! Tell everyone. Let the experts come out. All the civilians, go in!” someone shouted from behind me. This person was probably on higher ground. Bandits seemed to be a common occurrence. Although there was fear in everyone’s eyes, shock was missing. They were expecting an attack.

“It is so sad, living a life like this.” I shook my head.

“What are you doing? Scared out of your wits? Is this the first time that you are encountering bandits? Seeing how luxurious your hair and skin are, you probably come from a family of wealth. I suggest that you run inside, or you will be hounded by the bandits, and they will take you for ransom.” a person told me as he ran inside.

“They are all either in the first layer of the Foundation Building stage, or in the Qi Condensation stage. I already defeated someone much above this cultivation. I don’t need to worry much about them. If I do want to fight them though, I will have to make sure that the normal people don’t get hurt.” I realized.

One by one, the bandits came out of the dark. I could see their faces properly now. Their viciousness was clear in their crooked smile and their hideous faces.

“Come on now. Why are you running away so quickly? One of you has to entertain us now.” one of the bandits laughed as he looked at the women who were running inside.
