Immortal Ascension Tower - Book 1: Reborn! [CH 1 - 75]

Chapter 34 - Brother

Cheng Hao slid down the nearby wall and gritted his teeth. The pain from his wounds heightened as he bumped on the stone wall. He had gotten a new key from the mysterious Elder Lao together with his clothes back then and he had finally reached the hut the Elder had prepared for him.

He closed the door and took out the magical seal that had been sealing Lu Fang's cultivation base and set it up to block all entrances to his room. Since he now didn't have the slightest trace of cultivation any longer, unless he lifted the bindings on his cultivation base, he could not use his own power to lay a seal and had to do things like this.

First thing first, he ate a Flesh Healing Pill to heal himself and a Sense Numbing Pill to diminish the pain. He had gotten those pills way back when he had stolen the Dimensional Pouch from Lu Biao when he first arrived at the sect.

The wound began to close, and after a few hours that Cheng Hao passed crosslegged absorbing the pill's energy through his Dantian, he finally threw himself on the ground and laid on his back for a while.

He looked at the ceiling of his new hut: the small stone house was a tad bigger than its wooden version, but that might have been just his impression since Xiao Wu wasn't there. Still, it was tidy, neat and, most importantly, isolated, just what he wanted!

He ate a Blood Replenishing Pill and stood up to see what the hut was like. It was already finely decorated, the bed already had mattresses as well as the shelves already holding some books. There was also a guy lying on the bed beside of him, his snores were also pretty realistic...

...

Cheng Hao took out a wooden bat from his Heaven&Earth pouch and approached the figure lying on the bed lifting the blunt weapon above his head "Who the hell are you???"

The man slowly opened his eyes showing no concern whatsoever about the current situation. He yawned and stretched for about a minute completely ignoring Cheng Hao. When he had finished his stretching, Cheng Hao smiled gently and asked "Would you also like a cup of tea, by any chance?"

The man yawned "Sure. Add In two teaspoons of sugar, and pour in half a cup of milk as well. If there is no milk, then prepare some coffee instead and add in four teaspoons of sugar...".

Hearing the man had actually answered seriously, a vein popped on Cheng Hao's forehead but he still put away his bat and sat on the bed on the other side of the room.

"Now brat, could you tell me why I woke up with an eight years old child brandishing a bat in front of my bed?" The man was probably in his late thirties or early forties, he had brown eyes and his wavy, blonde hair fell on his shoulders.

He wasn't really the definition of handsome, but he wouldn't displease the female population in any way if he tried to flirt with them.

"Senior, I am Cheng Hao. I have been assigned to live here by the Elder guarding the gate. As for why you woke up with a bat lifted above your head is because I was startled to find someone in the same hut as the one I had been assigned to..."

The man pondered for a bit and then sat up on his bed, staring at Cheng Hao "You don't seem to have a cultivation... How did you get here, in the Outer Sect, with your strength? No, never mind. It's not my business and I don't wanna ask anyways" the man looked at the brat in front of him

"Cheng Hao... Was it? Ok. Do you by any chance know of two children about eight years old with frightening power and talent? I am looking for them"

Cheng Hao frowned "Why is senior looking for such people? Is it only because you want to get close to have them as friends when they grow up in the future?"
