Faithed Encounter

It has been hundreds of year since I Transmigrated into this world, that is a lot of time for me to have amass the necessary information in this world, for example this world has immortal cultivators in it, I tried cultivating as well but it was deemed impossible since I had no spiritual root, what my game character has is mana core. Apart from them being in different location, where the mana core is located close to the heart and the Spiritual root at the belly button side, there is really not much of a difference in the function they perform which is to accumulate energy from the surroundings to make one stronger, this energy is in the form of Mana, Qi, Internal energy, Chakra and so on. When I tried accumulating the Qi in my mana core I felt intense pain it was like my insides was being turned upside down, there is only one thing that can cause such a pain, it is when the Mana and Qi clashes together,  it was an improper fraction to begin with, I had way too much mana compared to the Qi I absorbed so the Mana ended up devouring all the Qi.

Since I was unable to cultivate the next thing I did is to raise my level but that did not work out well, no matter what beast I kill my level still remains the same, I have a few ideas of what the reasons might be, maybe the beasts level are too low to level me up or maybe I am unable to level up because I am no longer in the game either ways since I am unable to cultivate and level up, I casted a high level barrier over my house that is located at the top of an open mountain grassland to alarm me of any unwanted intruders.

What I find the most baffled with is my appearance, my game character design is a boy about fifteen inches, red silky hair that reaches to my waist with feiry eyes, an oval face and a pointed nose, yes I am indeed beautiful but I have been in this appearance for the past hundreds of years now it is starting to get annoying, not once in those hundreds of years have my appearance changed one bit, in the game it is a really cool character but having to look like a baby in the real world 'that is not cool', I also want an harem of pretty girls with blessed boobs but I am never going to get one like this, instead of an harem I would be treated as a baby brother and that terrifies me in an odd way, I have tried different methods to change my appearance but it takes up mana to maintain the change it so I decided against it.

Apart from the child like appearance, my daily activities have not changed that much except now I am unable to watch new videos from the lacrima, the recorded ones are still there but having to watch it continuously for the past hundreds of years gets pretty boring, I also took on a new occupation, Alchemy it is pretty much the only exciting thing around here also because I yearn to create a body growth potion, one that will make me as tall as those young masters in the wuxia stories, I dived into alchemy about fifty years ago and I have yet to see any progress but I will not give up no I cannot "clenches fist".

I am currently strolling down the mountain alone, other than beasts  the mortals or immortals do not really roam this mountain in short a deserted mountain but a perfect spot for someone like me. Ingredients are needed in creating Alchemy and every year I come to the denser parts of the mountain where beasts roam, that place is a haven for an alchemist, I go there to hunt animals and beasts to stockpile my storage with the needed parts.

My aim today is a wild deer, with not much difference from the deers on eart except that this wild deers are faster and bigger probably due to absorbing Qi. I have no idea how to rate the levels of this world so I cannot specifically say how strong the wild deer is compared to this world standard.

I laid down my trap filled with tantalizing fruits, then I climb up the closest tree waiting for my prey to take the bait, one hour passed and still no sight of the prey, this kind of thing does take a long time but time is something I have on my side. Five hours later a deer came running along, the deer saw the fruits of different colors and sizes, it then ran closer to it and started eating. After seeing the deer take the bait, I clench my left thumb and left index finger together making a circled shape, then I blew air into the circle, a fire as tiny as a needle formed in the hole and struck the deers neck, the deer collapsed on the floor looking lifeless. I jump down from the tree and carried the deer up with a satisfied look on my face, deers are indeed fast but that just now was the most efficient way to catch them, "time to head home.

A man that appears to be in his thirties in a classic eastern bodyguard clothes and a sword attached to the hip could be seen running through the forest with a two year old baby in his hand,

"after him, do not let him get away! were the voices that could be heard from the man's pursuers all dressed in green cultivator clothes with white embroidery. The man ran as fast as he could and eventually succeeded in creating a distance between him and his pursuers, he searched for a covered spot nearby, he saw a tree with an open space underneath, the man knelt down, he shook his hand into the space to further widen it, the man put the baby in the space, he placed a jade crest with a bull symbol on the baby's neck and covered the baby with the tree barks lying around, after that the man ran towards the direction the pursuers were coming from. The pursurers and the man intercepted and there a battle broke out.

The man was surrounded by five pursuers.

Pursuer 1> give it up Xiong Feng, even though you are at the Golden core realm stage one, there is no way you can win against us who are at the peak of the foundation realm so if you know what is good for you, you will readily hand over the child and the artifact maybe then we can consider giving you a fast death.

The pursuer said mockingly but the man did not give an answer to it instead he holds unto the sword that was at his hip, he then charged at the pursuer that was closest to him with a forward slash, the man succeeded in cutting off the left arm of the pursuer who screamed in agony " ahhhhhh my arm my arm it is gone ahhhhh" but before he could make another move all pursuers had ganged up on him. The man tried his best to dodge their attacks as fast as he could, the man binds for an opportunity to attack, however an opportunity like that never came, with the remaining five attacking the man with firm coordinated moves there was no chance for the man, visible wounds on the leg, arm, and the waist could be seen from the man. The man fell on one knee with the sword buried to the ground, he pants for air when one of the pursurers tried to jump him from the back, the man turned his sword and cut off the pursurers neck while the pursuer that was at the man's front pierced his sword through the man's stomach, The man coughed up blood and fell to the ground. The first pursuer that acted as the head of the group gave the remaining two pursuer that were without injury an order to search for the child.

On my way home, I heard something that sounded like a scream so I decided to check it out, before getting to the exact location I jumped on a tree and used it as my means of transportation after all I have no idea what made the scream so it is best to keep myself hidden for my safety. Turns out it is some kind of typical cultivator situation, I do not really know the whole story but I can already guess that those mean looking guys that ganged up on one man are the bad guys, hmm something is wrong, maybe they are not cultivators cause their moves are too easy to read, it is like they are moving in slow motion, the man who appears to be just a tiny bit faster is now down due to exhaustion and blood loss. Frankly speaking this does not concern me one bit, as long as nobody intrudes on my privacy I have no business with the affairs of this world "so" sorry mister but you are on your own. "Eerh!!!!!" is that the sound of a child, now that is something I cannot ignore. I jump down from the tree and head towards the sound, the pursuers who also heard the sound moved closer to it, they stopped in their tracks when they spotted me, I waved at them and politely asked them if they could go on their merry way

Pursuer 1> mortal are you courting death, how dare you interfere in our business

Yes to them I am a mortal since I have no spiritual root, there is nothing to sense off of me. I stretched my right hand forward, three fire ball came out and made a hole in their chest, the last pursuer that had his arm amputated took to his heels, I would have spared him but then he might go and tattle to his companions which would end up putting me in a disadvantageous situation so no way, I sent one fire ball to his chest as well, just like that all dead. I move to the baby's side and took off the barks, in there I saw a baby goddess in human form.
