A Fisherman's Immortal Journey

Chapter 7: Li Clan



Yi Shan continued telling the information.

"These four clans are only at the first grade clan level. Because their strongest are only at Body Refinement Realm Level 6. So, unless, they produce someone who can cross the realm and become an Acquired Qi Realm expert. They will always remain as Grade 1 clans."

"So, yeah. That's all I know." He ended.

Then, he reached out his hand and tried to take the two silver coins.

But, before he could do that, Ren Wei spoke. "Before you take these coins, I want to ask you something."

"Please sir." Yi Shan stopped his action and responded.

"I will add one more silver coin if you can give me additional information." Ren Wei added his condition.

Hearing the sentence, Yi Shan was skeptical. He even thought the man might be trying to scam him of information.

Seeing his skeptical face, Ren Wei took out another silver coin and placed it on the table. Now, 3 silver coins are on the table.

"I don't want that much valuable information. I just want to know if there is anyone in the four clans that are in bad health or injured. Maybe looking for some recovery treasures or medicine. Just that." He clarified it beforehand. "And if you can tellcme about it, then it's all yours."

The young waiter thought for a moment. But he could not remember anything related to that.

"Sorry I don't know anything about it." Then he shook his head to deny.

"Well, it's alright. You can take these coins." Ren Wei did not show any disappointment when he heard the denial. Inside, he was thinking that he would have to busy himself going from door to door.

Hearing Hearing approval, Yi Shan happily took the 3 silver coins.

As he collected the coins, his face suddenly lit up.

With a realization face, he said. "Oh... now I remember. Sir, some days ago, there was a rumor that the Li clan was searching for some medicine that can cure icy cold fever. Or something like that. And they also put on a notice that says they will give a hefty reward to anyone who can bring something like that."

Ren Wei nodded when heard it. "That is good enough."

Smiling, Yi Shan put the 3 silver coins inside his shirt. Then he asked. "Then, sir. Would you like to give me your order?"

With calm face, Ren Wei ordered his food.

After sometime, he walked out of the Golden Pleasure Restaurant with a satisfied expression.

Behind him, the same man who received him. He said as Ren Wei walked away. "Please come again good sir." In a little loud voice.

Ren Wei did not even turned around as he walked away. He simply waved his hand back to show that he heard it.

Without stopping mid way, he directly headed towards the direction of Li clan.

Some minutes later, he arrived in front of grand mansion gate. Or rather a door.

After adjusting his simple clothing, he walked up to the door and knocked.

Knock...knock...

However, even after knocking for several times, no one came to open the door.

When he was thinking whether he should enters directly or leave the place, someone finally opened the door.

It was an old man. And he looked like he was one foot on the the grave.

With a hoarse sound, the old man spoke. "Sorry,..for the long... wait. Please tell me who you are looking for.." He sounded exhausted and was struggling to finish the words.

From the looks of it, Ren Wei could see it was not problem of old age. But rather something with his voice cord.

"I heard that the Li clan is looking for medicine to that can cure icy cold fever?" He asked.

"..yes." The old man replied with difficulty.

"I am here for that." Ren Wei said.

As soon he said that, the old man's aged face lit up.

But, he still did not lost his composure. He gestures. "Please come in, sir."

After Ren Wei walked inside the door, the old man gestured him to follow.

3 minutes later, the old man led Ren Wei to a hall.

Outside the doorway, a guard stopped them from entering.

"Inform the patriarch that I have some urgent news. Quick." He ordered the gaurd.

Hearing the seriousness in his tone, the gaurd did not delayed.

"Please wait here for a minute." After saying that, he hurriedly went inside.

Sometimes later, the gaurd came back with the news that the patriarch has allowed them to enter the hall.

Both the old man and Ren Wei entered the hall.

However, when they arrived at the hall, there were already some people.

All sitting on a chair with a long table in the middle. And from the looks of it, the seemed to be discussing something.

Seeing the old man came leading an unknown man with old clothes and a fishing rod with a bamboo pot. The man sitting in the middle spoke. "Old Lu, you better have some good reason for disturbing this meeting. And who is that man?"

'So, his surname is Lu.' Ren Wei thought as he looked at Old Lu.

First, Old Lu bowed his head to the man. "Patriarch."

So the man in the middle was the patriarch.

"Humm.." He nodded as Old Lu bowed.

After saluting to the patriarch, Old Lu reported. "Don't worry patriarch. I have reasonable and important news for disturbing the meeting."

Then, he stopped.

For a while, the hall was filled with awkward silence.

"What happened Old Lu? Didn't you say that you have important news to report?" The Li patriarch broke the ice.

"Yes, patriarch. Very very important news." This time he emphasize the word 'very' important.

Slam....

A member, sitting just adjacent to the patriarch, slammed the table and spoke loudly. "How dare you, Old Lu? Do you think we are blind and deaf? All of us here are the highest member of Li clan. Who here is not worthy of hearing the report?" His voice carried the anger in his heart.

As soon as he said that, the other members also showed the same expression.

"I know all the elders here are all worthy. But this information is only mean for the head." Old Lu apologized to the elders and clarified one more time.

"Then, instead of reporting to him when he is alone. Why are you here?" The same elder who slammed the table asked again. This time his voice carried ridicules and at the same time he seemed to be asking the other elders.

"Second elder seemed to not heard it when I said it's too urgent." With any fear, Old Lu shot back his words.

When Ren Wei heard the words, he looked at Old Lu with a new thought. 'Seems like he is not just some random door gaurd.'

And to support his thought, he felt the sense of Qi from Old Lu when he shot back to the second elder. But it was just around 3rd Level of Body Refinement Realm.

"You...!!" The second elder immediately felt humiliated and showed an angry expression.

Before he could do anything further, the patriarch cut him off. "Enough."

Then, he took a deep breath. And said. "Today's meeting is over. You guys leave now."

All the elders readily stood up left the hall after hearing the patriarch, including the second elde. But before he left, he looked at Old Lu one last time.

After all the elders left, the patriarch spoke. "Old Lu, you better have a good reason for all the hustle for offending second elder."

"Humph that Old man, I don't fear him." As he said that, he approached the head amd whispered into his ear.

Ren Wei saw the demeanor of the Li head changed instantly the moment Old Lu whispered into his ear.

Then he looked at Ren Wei and asked. "Is it true that you have the medicine that can cure icy cold fever?"

Ren Wei could detect the trembling in his voice, like he was afraid of it not true.

"I have something. But first I need to see the person suffering from it. Otherwise I will not give the thing."

As soon as Ren Wei said that, the Li head's instantly turned cold.

"Why?" He asked in icy tone.

"Isn't it obvious? I need to see the patient to give him the right medicine." Ren Wei said it like it was a logical thing.

"Patient..? You are just a fisherman. How can you know medicine."

"I don't know medicine but I know what kind of fishes.."

The Li head felt the man was wasting his time and ridiculing him. He released his pressure.

Boom...

The air around him suddenly shifted. The room started feel hot.

"I am giving you one last time to explain your reason." He gritted his teeth and said.

Even the Old Lu felt the man was deceiving them. He instantly felt regret when he thought he brought a scammmer and possibly a spy?.

Ren Wei knew he could not clearly explain his reason. So, he could only do what he can.

"Head Li, please calm... down." At the last word, the room that was rising in temperature and the wind that was shifting direction, turned back to normal.

Soon, the room was much colder.

Shoosh....

Another pressure but more powerful than him emitted from Ren Wei's body.

Instantly, both Old Lu and Head Li felt the momentum. Both of them quickly realized the ordinary fisherman was not ordinary at all. He was much more powerful than them.

"Please retract your Qi, gentlemen. I just want to bless someone lucky. And if thats not okey with you guys, then I just have to leave."

"What do you mean someone lucky?" Head Li caught the meaning in Ren Wei's word.
