>Medicine expert :
However, your bad luck seems to turn around the half of the month.
Seeing you frustrated with your low progress on your technique, the Snake Mistress takes you apart one day.
"<span class="mu-s">Mandatory break time. City trip today : we have something to sell to the Stable Lotus Clan.</span>"
You are disappointed about having to miss practice today - maybe you could have done it today? However, you're glad of the opportunity to find a Medicine Expert.
Thus, you go walk the plain path between the sect's compound and Stable Lotus Harbor.
"What do we have that Stable Lotus clan would desire so much?
- <span class="mu-s">A Lotus Goose and a Lotus Elephant. Now shut up and try to keep up.</span>"
And try you do. Summoning the Horse spirit, you gallop on the road.
"<span class="mu-s">You really need a movement technique.</span>"
You don't have much to answer. Soon, you are in front of the city lord's sect compound.
You haven't spot a doctor's sign on the way - those are words you took extra care remembering - except the really expensive one in the city square in front of Stable Lotus compound.
The sight of towers and building shaped like closed lotus flower and countless canals filled to the brim with Lotus flower crossed by wooden bridges is still breathtaking.
"<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">This is Stable Lotus sect's ground! State your business!</span></span>
- <span class="mu-s">No need to be so formal, Peng. I, Maya Tao, Snake Master of Eastern Branch of Tamers of Hundred beasts, came with Spiritual Beast of greater interest for your sect.</span>
- <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">Is at so? Come in, come in. Hey, I saw you fighting in the turnament! How dare you show after beating up so harshly the young mistress!</span></span>
- <span class="mu-s">Aren't you ashamed insulting my disciple? A man that broke through First Stage at 16 year old? Stuck at guarding duty, you won't inch closer to filling your dantians.</span>"
That shut him up, while he's guiding you toward the heart of the compound. The buildings and courtyard are truly a town withing town, built upon the richest leylines of the city.
You stole a glance at the Novices tempering their body on the lotus pillars, you see some more inner courtyard lit up with spiritual arts. Until your awe is shattered by a piercing shriek
"<span class="mu-g">You!</span>
<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">Sorry young mistress! I shouldn't have let him</span></span>
- Hello, LienWen YanEr
- <span class="mu-g">How are you? Have your cultivation progressed? At my current rhythm, I should break through second stage in a tad less than two years! I'll show you then the secret of Stable Lotus Spirit arts; you won't stand a chance!</span>"
The young mistress, clad in training clothes, just ditched her tutors to face you dramatically, ignoring the poor Peng that is way out of his depth.
You are also pretty sure she forgot your name.
