"The wise eyes of this young Sage is like Heaven overseeing everything " with a light chuckle , the beggar said with a carefree smile " so what does a young Sage wants from this little beggar ?"
Madara smiled and said " I dare not ask anything from you . But , can you leave the fate as it is ?"
The beggar didn't said anything for a long time before his eyes glinted with strange light. He smiled and said " it is destiny that we met , so I will at least give you face and leave the fate as it is "
Nodded lightly , Madara said " you are doing huge favour by giving me face , this Sage will remember your favour "
The beggar waved his left hand in the air and nonchalantly said " who am I to own you a favour ? Just take it as fate and destiny schemed us in meeting each others ."
Madara didn't said anything.
Suddenly the beggar took out a Bronze Coin from his pocket and threw at Madara which Madara caught it with his right hand .
"This is a small greeting gift to my new friend " the beggar smiled.
Rong Qin didn't know what was going on ? Everything was very bizarre for her to comprehend .
She stood there in a silly way.
While Madara carefully observed the Bronze Coin in his hand .
The coin was made of bronze , on one side was human face crying while on the another was human face laughing.
"Thank you for the greeting gift " Madara cupped his fist toward the beggar and turned around to leave.
Looking at the nonchalant beggar for a while , Rong Qin turned around and left .
"Young Sage , what was that coin ?" Rong Qin hesitated for a while before asking .
Madara just smiled and didn't answered but instead said something else " just a greeting token "
"Oh ! " Rong Qin felt that something was amiss but couldn't pinpoint it .
She turned back inorder to check on the beggar but she didn't saw the beggar anywhere.
Her eyes roamed around but she failed to find the beggar from before.
"He has left , no need to search for him " upon noticing Rong Qin searching for the beggar , Madara lightly said .
For Rong Qin , that beggar was really mysterious.
Who was that beggar ?
Not even Madara was sure of the true identity of the beggar before but this meeting confirmed his doubt .
'This world is truely full of hidden characters with unfathomable powers ' Shaking his head , Madara helplessly shook his head .

Grassland Street Market is one of largest market in Soaring Eagle City and a meeting point for numerous of merchants and aristocrat families.
Everywhere on the streets , one could see street stalls , tall and majestic buildings , when one enters the Grassland Street Market area .
Looking around , Madara and Rong Qin saw lots of Treasures on sales .
The cheapest of all were Elementary Treasures while the expensive were Superior Grade Treasures but it was only when you looked at street stalls .
If you visit an expensive stores , you can even see Spiritual Treasures and even Affinity Treasure !!
While Spiritual Treasures are born naturally with Spiritual Powers , while Affinity Treasures are something born from pure Elements of world . If you are a fire element Cultivator and wield a Fire - Based Affinity Treasure , you will experience your battle prowess surging / soaring and surpassing your original battle prowess .
Walking around , Madara and Rong Qin saw numerous of things on their ways .
Rong Qin pretty eyes shone in amazement while looking at all those Heavenly Treasures .
For her , even an Elementary Treasure was a Heavenly Treasure because she is just a Mortal and has never learned about Treasures of the world .
Madara has seen lots of Treasures in his life so he wasn't moved by such insignificant Treasures.
After reaching his level and coming in contact with Hidden Masters and Overlords , one can easily tell that even Immortal Treasures are not truely invincible !!
Only a Treasure that resonance with you , suits you and is perfect for you , even if they are just an Elementary Treasure will become Heaven - Defying .
" Young Sage , this is one of the largest business zone in Soaring Eagle City where all the four Great Families working under Wong Family has opened their branches "
Rong Qin kept on broadening Madara knowledge about Soaring Eagle City.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
On their way , suddenly Madara stopped walking and his gaze fell on a tall dead tree .
The tree was tall enough to touch Azure Sky but it's branches were all dried and dead . The skin were shattered and cracked , Madara watched the tall tree for a long time .
Noticing his gaze , Rong Qin followed his gaze and saw a tall dead tree . Beneath the tree were many stalls placed where business were flourishing with no end .
" young Sage , are you interested in this dead tree ?" Rong Qin decided to ask . She was innocent in matter of Cultivators and their wonders so she couldn't see the mystery behind this tall dead tree .
But Madara was different , he kept on watching the dead tree . In others perception , they can only see a tall dead tree that has aged already and was already dead .
But in perception of Madara , he was seeing completely different thing.
A tall Divine Tree penetrating Heaven and stomping Hell , rooting on Nine Firmament while bearing Divine Ambrosia in Nine Gate of Hell .
A Divine Tree with majestic and imperial Will and Momentum surrounding , Celestial Aura encircling and Immortal Laws encompassing .
It was as if Madara was standing in front of an Immortal capable of annihilating Reality itself !!
"Sigh*" Madara deeply and emotionally sighed before feeling sentiment " nothing in this world is everlasting , everything is Impermanent "
Rong Qin was confused by his sudden change in behaviour and the words of Madara caused her to feel great curiosity.
Madara was about to ignore the dead tree but suddenly , his eyes stopped on a green leaf that was still alive on one of dead branch of the tall dead tree .
With a light frown ,Madara waved his sleeve before the green leaf floated to him .
The green leaf was confined with power of Time - Space . Everything in the confinement were stagnated , nothing but stagnation existed inside the confinement.
Madara slowly lifted his right arm up and the green leaf hovered above his palm .
Seeing Madara look so gently at the green leaf , Rong Qin was more curious and confuse.
Why was young Sage acting so wiredly ?
Isn't that just a single leaf of a dead tree ?
For Mortal like Rong Qin , this single green leaf holds no value because she is unaware of the origin and identity of the tree and the leaf .
But for Madara , even though he was also unaware of the origin and identity of the tree and the leaf , he still was aware that it was an unparalleled Treasure.
Maybe a Pseudo Treasure or even a True Treasure !!
Madara gently and carefully stored the leaf in his private Space .
" young ... Young Sage , what is that leaf ?" Finally , unable to hold the curiosity , Rong Qin asked .
Madara was walking on the street when he heard her question . He smiled and answers her truthfully "even I don't know "
"Than.... why were you so emotional while looking at the leaf ?" Rong Qin was surprise that Madara didn't know anything about the leaf . So she felt her curiosity take control over her .
" ..... Even if I tell you , you will be unable to understand " Saying so , he didn't bother answering anything while Rong Qin also didn't asked anything.
But still , she was curious about many thing .
***
After returning back to guest house , Madara entered the room and closed the door before activating his Rinne-Sharingan and using his Time - Space power to seal the dimension.
After that , he took out the green leaf and slowly began to contemplate about something.
"It seem , the Wong Family progenitor wasn't a simple person . This Soaring Eagle City isn't simple as it looks , otherwise why would there be a Divine Tree planted ? " Madara deeply frowned.
"Judging from the look of the Divine Tree , the Divine Tree is obviously not from current epoch or era but should be from previous epoch or more older "
A Divine Tree has a natural talent similar to an Ancients and Overlords , even after death , they can still exist in the world .
"But this Divine Tree was truely dead which is extremely rare "
A Divine Tree death isn't a simple , ordinary or insignificant matter to happen but something that could even shake Heaven !!
"Something must have happened in the past which resulted in death of a Divine Tree " Madara felt a bit fear in his heart but it was not strong enough to shake his willpower.
"Something which killed Divine Tree isn't that simple . What could have happened ? Not even Overlords are necessarily capable of killing a Divine Tree "
"Sigh*" Madara stopped focusing on this matter and began to focus on the green leaf hovering in mid air.
"This leaf has potential of growing into Divine Tree if nurtured properly. Maybe someday it can even achieve great level and become a Divine Tree Forefather ,capable of battling against Overlords "
With a light smile , Madara felt very exciting.
It wasn't so simple to encounter with a Divine Tree and get a seed for Divine Tree .
A Divine Tree is said to be Divine Treasure from Divine World that is no less than Immortal World from legend when it comes to fame.
"But I wonder what is the name of the Divine Tree which I plucked this leaf from ?" The only problem was , he didn't know anything about the origin and identity of this leaf of Divine Tree .
In legend , there are lots of Divine Trees mentioned but this Divine Tree was never mentioned .
"Let it be ,I will first refine it " Madara clenched his both fist and opened them again .
When he opened his fists , from his left hand flew a Golden Ray of light up in the sky while encircled with Heavenly Grand Dao . While a Silver Ray of light flew out from his right hand , encircled with Divine Grand Dao .
The Golden Ray represented Time while Silver Ray represented Space , with his immense power , Madara began refining [ Void ] before melting [ Chaos ].
After that , he grabbed the Laws of Universe and began concocting everything in one before Refining the green leaf with them .
"Zzz" a golden and silver currents could be seen running around his body while zapping terrifying destructive power .
"It seem ,I will need long amount of time to refine this leaf into a Divine Seed "
*****
Time slowly passed , Madara spent his time on very few things. He would either roam around Soaring Eagle City ,meditate alone , refine the mysterious leaf or just chat with Rong Qin in his free time.
Just like that , one day , someone visited Wong Family.
A young scholar clad in scholar robe came to visit Wong Family .
This young scholar looks handsome and charming , he looks like he is in his early 20 or so . Even though he is a scholar , his muscles screams power .
He has well built muscles and an arrogant looks in his eyes .
"Little Yan Su Qian , you have returned " with a light and gentle smile , Xing Yue Ai personally came to greet him .
" aunt Xing , long time no see " with a deep bow , the arrogant scholar greeted Xing Yue Ai .
" good , good " with a satisfied nod , Xing Yue Ai said " looks like even after living in higher level city , you haven't forgetten about your manners "
"No matter how far I leave , I can't forget my root . Can I ?" In a polite way , Yan Su Qian replied.
At this time Madara and Rong Qin were watching them from far .
"Who is he ?" Madara asked Rong Qin .
With full of enthusiasm , Rong Qin began telling him about Yan Su Qian " he is young master of Yan Family "
"Yan Family is known for their scholarships but is also part of a Cultivator Family. "
"They are responsible of governing and protecting East District of Soaring Eagle City "
"In just age of 10 , young master Yan Su Qian successfully studied more than 3000 books in the library and gave District - Level Exam . Successfully becoming a District - Level Government Worker "
"He is not the most powerful Cultivator amongst younger generation of Soaring Eagle City but is unparalleled when it comes in term of wisdom and knowledge "
" lady patriarch has promised him to marry young mistress to him which is why the relation between Yan Family and Wong Family is very strong and friendly "
Madara nodded after listening to her .
