Two days later—
[Ding.
*Host, Mysterious Old Beggar appeared in Black Wind Market.
*Cave Heaven inheritance opened.
If you wanted to buy any special artifact or special technique you could buy it from the Mysterious Old Beggar.]
"Oh. Mysterious Old Beggar existed? I thought I had transmigrated into the Martial Peak world. That old beggar only existed in the game.
On Earth, while this game event started, a mysterious old beggar had appeared in the Black Wind Market.
He sold so many precious artifacts and martial arts but no one cared about him. Later someone discovered that those artifacts and martial arts were all high level and very precious and could be bought from that old beggar.
I needed some preparation before entering the Cave Heaven inheritance secret realm. It was good that the old beggar really existed in this world." Yi Fan murmured.
He had been in his hut. He got out and went to the market to find that beggar. The market was huge. It had more than three pathways. That was why Yi Fan had to search a lot to find the old beggar.
After some moments, Yi Fan saw an old beggar who was sleeping. His artifacts were spread on a cloth in front of him.
Seeing him, Yi Fan thought, "Who would think that an Immortal Ascension phase cultivator would conceal his cultivation and sell his goods while pretending to be an old beggar?"
He looked at a jade pendant among the goods and thought, "This is his inheritance. The most ordinary looking item here. His main goal is tied to it. In this jade pendant he concealed his lifetime martial arts technique.
Whoever tried to buy it would be thought by him as the destined person to become his successor. I already knew all this. I only had to buy this pendant and I would find much help for my future cultivation progress.
This only exist in the game not in novel,so that it would be possible for someone to grow their cultivation before Yang Kai. But it was only an opportunity. When I was on earth and play this game.The person who first took this opportunity had not become a rival of Yang Kai."
Yi Fan said to the old beggar, "Old man, I want to buy this jade pendant."
The old beggar asked, "This is one of the cheapest items here. Why did you not buy another one that would be better for you?"
Yi Fan said, "I do not have enough money to buy other items. On the other hand, I have not learned any special martial arts for fighting. This will help me most."
The old beggar said, "Okay then give five silver coins. I do not like any bargain."
Yi Fan gave him five silver coins.He then started walking to leave that market. Yi Fan thought, "Now I only need to go to a peaceful place where this old beggar will come in his true identity.
He… He…"
The old beggar had not thought that Yi Fan had done this on purpose. From his perspective Yi Fan had bought it by coincidence. How could he be suspicious? He had tried to sell it for ten years. No one had tried to buy it when he had set its price so low. Everyone knew that the higher the martial arts level, the higher its price.
How could anyone think an old man was trying to find his inheritor this way? He had concealed his cultivation, so to everyone he looked like an old beggar. Even Yi Fan would not have known if he had not already played the game that was made on his world.
"When he found out that I Fan was going to the secret realm he would definitely give me defensive armor to protect my life. He had waited for ten years to find his true successor; he would not allow someone to kill his new inheritor.
Unfortunately, this inheritance could only help me in this small world. In the Upper World it would be useless. So what?I have to only cared about the present. When I went to the Upper World I would find another way to increase my cultivation progress.
Yi Fan reached the place where his system had first completed merging with him. It was in front of a lake.
The lake was quiet. It had a smooth, mirror-like surface that reflected the sky, the mountains, and the surrounding landscape.
Yi Fan opened that jade pendant. But he found nothing inside.
"What, there is nothing here?" he said in disbelief.
But suddenly a person descended from the sky at that place. It was the old beggar, but now in another look. His clothes were no longer ripped. This time his robe was majestic. It was golden, made from iron-crown silk—one of the most valuable materials. There were dragon patterns on the robe. His aura was so heavy that taking a breath was tough for Yi Fan.
Yi Fan said, "Are you not a beggar?" He did not say it directly; he pretended to ask himself but he spoke loudly enough. He was not acting; he was trying his best so that no one would understand he already knew about this.
The old beggar said, "I am Wu Yizi. A cultivator from the Great Yang dynasty. I tried to find my successor with this jade pendant. Whoever bought it would be my future successor.
*The Great Yan Dynasty is a major land like great Han dynasty of the starting world*
You are the destined one who bought my true inheritance. From this day you will be my disciple."
Yi Fan tried to say something but Wu Yizi warned him that if he did not want to become his successor he would die in that place so nobody would find the inheritance secret.
Yi Fan thought, "Old man, at least hear my word. Why are you the only one talking? If I did not want your inheritance why would I take this jade pendant?"
Yi Fan showed full respect and said, "I am so glad that you made me your disciple."
Wu Yizi said, "It is good that you became my disciple." He produced three artifacts. One was a crimson sword, another an armor which have so many dragon pattern, and the third a healing-type artifact. He asked, "As a first gift from your master choose one of them."
Yi Fan chose the defensive armor and said, "I have to explore a secret realm where all others' cultivation was far higher than mine. So I choose this artifact."
That time system give him a notification.
[Host you obtain a earth grade high level defensive armor]
Wu Yizi said, "Good choice. This is what you need most.
I want you to achieve the Cave Heaven supreme inheritance. This is my trial for you. If you succeed then I will make you my official disciple."
Yi Fan thought, "What if you want me to inherit the Dragon-Phoenix inheritance? This was not in my hand. What type of trial is this? You did not give any trial in the game when a person found your inheritance. Is this changed because it was no longer a game? I transmigrated into a real Martial Peak world with a system similar to the game."
Yi Fan said, "I will try to get it."
He stood by the lake and held the armor in his hands. The surface of the water did not move, but his heart did. The old beggar—no, the master—had watched him with steady eyes. Yi Fan felt both fear and a small spark of hope. The road ahead was dangerous, but for the first time since he had transmigrated, Yi Fan felt that a true chance had come to him. He tightened his grip on the pendant, and with a quiet breath, he prepared himself for the trial.
