"Brother Yutian, may this little brother ask a question ?"
Altima cupped his hand together, and pass a question to the strongest among them, Yutian Tangfeng.
"Feel free to do so, little brother, once we share a cup, we are brothers here, everyone in the room is."
Yutian Tangfeng replied, allowing Altima to felt warm in his heart. Based on the way he speaks, he reminds Altima big brother, Yang Wu Di who is still within the Wu Di Royal Castle.
"Brother Yutian, if there is a chance, I would really like to introduce you a few person in the Southern State."
Altima speaks.
"The person you're saying, is Yang Wu Di, am I correct ?"
Yutian Tangfeng quickly speaks before Altima could react.
"Yes. Do you know him ?"
Altima felt weird, because, without any special recommendation, nobody will approach another person automatically to be friends or even brothers unless there is somebody behind controlling this moment.
"To be honest, I've known Yang about 10 years ago, during the first time I venture over to this Lan Shen Dalu. That time Yang is only 8, while I'm 7."
"I remember during that time, Yang is pretty aggressive. Without any hesitation, he charges towards me when we both exchanging pointers with the other seniors and elders within the primordial ark martial room, and there we have our first clash."
"Our second round happened during the Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark. That time, both of us is competing on one treasure called the Ten Thousand Circle Ring Blade. That time, both side is bidding ferociously, never giving up on the Ring blade because both Yang and I are cultivating a similar weapon art."
Yutian Tangfeng tells the stories about how he and Yang Wu Di met. Within this explanation, one could get a hint that it is Yang Wu Di who introduce Altima to this group of brothers.
"Should I continue ?"
Suddenly Wuyun Tuoba stands and continues the story.
"Please, brother Wuyun."
Yutian Tangfeng seat and allows Wuyun Tuoba to continue.
"That moment, both side started to cause a ruckus, I remember that time Yang Wu Di was mentioning about how his Mental Firmament Blade could be upgraded into Peak Emperor Martial arts, while Yutian is boosting about his Skycloud Flying Blade is originally an Early Emperor Martial arts."
"Both sides argued and soon, they charge towards each other, and the fight started on the spot."
"But what is funny about this, both of their old men carry the two fellas, kick them out from the hall, and continue. With this incident, the Wu Di and the Yutian family get closer."
Wuyun Tuoba finished his story.
"Hell man! Wuyun, don’t skip the part you grab the blade in the end!"
Yutian stands and quickly reprimand Wuyun Tuoba, and without any preparation, the two brothers started their childish exchange again.
"As always."
Liones, being the biggest size among 5 of them, quickly separate both of them and throw each of them to another side of the room.
Looking at how easy Liones separate both of them, Altima felt a slight shock, guessing how deep is Liones cultivation.
"No need to guess, brother Altima. Between all of us, Liones possess the strongest amount of raw strength. "
"the Lockheart family originate from the Lock Empire, their ancestors are used to be one of the world well-known Immortal named Goldenlock."
"And because of this identity, this big guy here learn his family inheritance martial art, called as the Cyclops Strength Locking Technique, which gave him strength double in the first stage, triple in second, and increase accordingly until the 9th stage."
Yutian intercepts, and with such detail explanation, Altima roughly know each others attitude, cultivation and their personalities.
"Brother Hao, come on, speak a little."
Wuyun Tuoba points towards Eastern Hao and speak, but get no reply in return.
"Ignore him, Hao usually put a cold demeanor, and rarely speaks, but his martial art is extremely dangerous. Let us don’t piss him off too much."
"Shall we call it a night ?"
Yutian put up an idea, and with a farewell, the newly made brothers all separated and return to their own room.

Next day, Altima wakes and ready to depart towards the other location for his second day of treasure hunting, but before he manages to leave the Pavilion, Altima is greet by the Young Lady of the hundred Protector Alliance, Ms. Qing Tan.
"Missy, what do you need from me ?"
Altima starts the conversation.
"I heard that you are the one who trashed my cousin brother Gu and his men."
Qing Tan replied.
"Yes, it's me. Do you came here to revenge for him ?"
Altima replied back without any cover up.
"If I am here for revenge, I will come with a weapon. Let us don’t waste any time! My Grandfather calls me to escort you to our establishment in exchange for our bad introduction yesterday."
Qing Tan urge Altima to follow her to as she brings him along the way during the treasure hunting.
"Ms. Qing, I'm afraid I have a porter to accompany me, it would be a bother to make young miss escort me around as your position within the Alliance is not low in my opinion."
Altima rejected her offer, stating that Gan Ning could do the similar job, and wouldn’t wish to take her time into his own shopping routine.
"You're quite a silly one, don’t you think so ?"
Qing Tan immediately comment about Altima's decision.
"And why would it be, young miss ?"
Altima felt surprised with her replies.
"With my position within the Alliance, if I am escorting you around our establishment, you would get the best deal and fairest price compared to the other establishment from Right Moon district."
Qing Tan announce her special rights instantly as if she had it spoken out all the time.
"I see, if in that case, I would bother little miss to lead the way."
Altima hates to admit, but nobody would hesitate from dealing with business, and getting better discounts when they shop. With such a good discount voucher walking with him, it would be better than depending on Gan Ning and his reputation within the town.
But before shopping starts, Altima went over towards a shop to exchange some Boosting Zen Pill for a lower currency under the Pavilion and proceed along with Qing Tan towards the Guo clan market. Within, plenty of cultivating special material is available, but none of the grades manage to grab Altima's attention.
As he walks around the Market, Altima spent slightly on purchasing some higher grade medicinal ingredient, such as the Mandrakes, Extracts, and fruits or herbs, but other than that, nothing else manage to obtain his attention, thus Altima leaves the Guo Clan Market with disappointment.
His next visit is towards the Martial Art Trading Hall. Unexpectedly, Altima obtained a great haul this time within the Trading Hall. Within the hall, the martial arts and martial records are all divided and priced based on the floor they are placed within. Due to the fact Altima is only a Spiritual Stage Cultivator, he is only allowed to enter up to the 4th floor.
This Trading Hall has a total of 9 Floors, in which the first two floors consist of Martial arts and martial records for the practitioner in Early to Warrior stage, while the third and fourth floor are for Master to Spiritual Stage cultivator. Upon entering, the cultivator will pass a formation gate, and received a book tag that would be used to store the scrolls that will be purchased, as well acting as the key to proceed towards the higher floor and opening the seal formation within the bookshelves.
This time, Altima is totally satisfied. Spending almost one whole day within the Trading Hall, Altima manage to procure and purchase a total of 6 different martial arts, where it would be complementing with each other during the fighting and critical situation.
But in Altima's intention, he is looking forward to something more than this.
"If I manage to refine and upgrade this few martial arts into one earlier chapter, it's possible to create a new martial accordingly."
"Brother Mobi, can you overpass the security formation and scan all the available information within ?"
Altima checked with Mobi, but unfortunately, the intention is a failure due to the level differences between the scanner and the security formation is too wide.
Proceeding to the waiting room, Altima awaits the scrolls he recently purchases to be readied. In the same time, he continuously running the refining program, quickly establish a link between the martial arts he purchased before this.

With all the purchase is concluded within the Left Sun district, Altima decided to end his today harvest and return to the Pavilion. Unexpectedly to Qing Tan, Altima actually decided to send her away and asked to be left alone, stating that he have many scrolls to study for his cultivation, and he prefers to be left alone whenever possible.
Through this reason alone, Qing Tan have no other choices but to allow him to leave.
"This person attitude is so weird!"
Qing Tan rants after she felt Altima should be away from the listening range.
"Milady, this Altima person, is not simple at all."
A guard beside Qing Tan starts to speak.
"I believe that this Altima person is actually building up a foundation, perhaps it was to strengthen his cultivation. But from the record I received from the martial art trading hall and the Cultivator Exchange Manor, the choices of martial art he was chosen doesn’t link to each other."
"What I could guess is, he possess more than 20 different martial arts within his mind, and each has the possibility to support another."
The guards explained slightly on his view towards Altima and stopped while Qing Tan pay no attention and leave the path back to Hundred Protector Alliance.
"If this person is allowed to grow, perhaps soon the continent will be facing some major crisis. One mountain cannot have two kings reside within. Yang Wu Di, Ming Sect, the 5 Qin Brothers, and the Northern Guo Family. This few group will soon have a big change when this person starts to move."
Unexpectedly, the guard managed to guess the soon to happen incident, which will start to cause a large change within the Lan Shen Dalu.
