The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 2 — Travel To Yama Mountains (1)
In a named pavilion, ‘Corange Sky Pavilion.’ There is a courtyard connected to the living room of the pavilion. The courtyard was not too big, but the atmosphere and scenery were quite worth relaxing. There are some plants and flowers that are fresh and look beautiful, complementing each other with the atmosphere in the yard. In the quiet and beautiful courtyard was Lian Haocun sitting alone on a bench in the courtyard.
“Kakak!” Lian Huanran's voice sounded excited and contained the childishness of 10-year-old children.
He ran from the living room of the pavilion into the arms of his brother.
“Why?” Lian Haocun responded briefly as his brother hugged him.
Lian Huanran took off a hug and began to express her goal excitedly, “Sister! Master will take us to the Yama Mountains! Said we'd be looking for fighting experience there.”
Lian Haocun nodded, ‘Yama Mountains. It is not a bad place to seek experience and to get more information about this world.’
While Lian Haocun was thinking, Lian Huanran expressed his complaint, “But the Yama mountains are too dangerous. Magical Beasts there were at least level 1 to 5. A level 5 Magical Beast was equivalent to a Core Formation stage cultivator. Fortunately there was a teacher, but not only that, the Yama Mountains were also too far away. The Blue Sky Sect was in the East while the Yama Mountains were in the West. The trip alone will at least take 1 month with the fastest Master transportation magic tool.”
Lian Haocun just nodded listening to Lian Huanran's complaint, then he said indifferently, “This will be our first trip after being in the sect for 10 years.”
Hearing that, Lian Huanran got excited again, “Mhm, right. After 10 years of dwelling in this dull sect. Finally we can go somewhere else.”
“When are we leaving?” Lian Haocun asked in a cold voice. “Aaa.. My brother always behaves like this. No youth spirit ah.”
Lian Haocun only responded with a slight joke, “Then wouldn't I not be your sister? However we do not know who was born first.”
“Iya..... After all, sister is too mature, just talking like an adult. How can I compete for the position of ‘Kak Laki.' when brother alone has been acting older a few years than me?”
Lian Huanran pursed her lips pretending to be annoyed.
“Good. When?” Ask Lian Haocun again.
Feeling that it was enough to mince words, Lian Huanran answered her brother's question, “Two days away. Teacher asks us to get ready for two days.”
Lian Haocun nodded and headed to his room to get ready.

Two days later
Shen Wenhuan watched from below, two brothers were descending the stone steps towards the exit of the Sect.
“You guys ready?” Shen Wenhuan asked making sure no one was left behind.
Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran nodded together.
“Good.” Praise Shen Wenhuan to his two students who he has been caring for since he was a baby.
Then Shen Wenhuan took out a boat-shaped transportation magic tool. Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran boarded the boat one by one. The boat rose into the sky at an astounding speed, but not a single one who was on the boat was bothered with the wind.
“Woahhhh!” Lian Huanran cheers in awe at the view from above the sky and starts praising with a smile, “Great once.”
Lian Haocun glanced at Lian Huanran for a bit and decided to start cultivating to pass the time.
Shen Wenhuan smiled faintly at the carefree, cheerful, excited child and began to explain the itinerary,
“We will head to Sundara City for a rest for one day then proceed to Pascima City in the West to rest for 3 days while looking at the auction to be held in 27 days.
Now it takes us 10 days to get to the city of Sundara. You can cultivate or see the scenery to pass the time. If you want to eat, do not forget to use a spell to block the wind around you.”
Lian Huanran nodded in understanding while still staring at the surrounding clouds that were not clearly visible due to the speed of the boat.
Although Lian Haocun did not respond, but Shen Wenhuan learned that he was listening. However, the senses of a person at the Foundation Building stage exceed the senses of ordinary humans. And that's the short 10-day journey.

Sundara City
Seen a lot of pedestrians passing by on the big road of Sundara City, there are some interesting horses chariots that look luxurious. Several lanterns adorning the buildings on the large streets of Sundara City make for a fantastic sight complemented by a starry night ceiling.
“Let's find lodging first. After that we will eat at the famous Restaurant in this City.” Shen Wenhuan instructed.
Lian Haocun nodded his head in a sign that he understood so well as Lian Huanran while looking around with sparkling eyes.
“Huanran, you look like you've never been to the city.” Lian Haocun's comment in a flat tone looked at Lian Huanran who looked like he had never come out.
Lian Huanran replied, “What a weird sister! A long journey, the first time to another city other than the city within the Sect, but big brother did not react at all. Huh..”
Lian Haocun just glanced at Lian Huanran coldly and spoke again although Lian Huanran was still complaining about Lian Haocun's attitude, instead, while Shen Wenhuan behind the two brothers who were almost the same height was smiling faintly at the interaction of the two twin brothers Lian.
Arriving at the inn, Shen Wenhuan directly booked 3 rooms for the night for 3 copper per room. After booking the room, a group of three people led by Shen Wenhuan headed for the most famous restaurant in Sundara City.
Restaurant ‘Renmao.’ has many customers in it. The smell of wine was smelled instantly upon entering the restaurant along with some noise and whispers of gossip that were still heard by Lian Haocun. Shen Wenhuan walked towards one of the empty tables and sat down followed by Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran.
“The wine smell stings once.” Lian Huanran's complaint was responded to by her Teacher's little laugh.
“Wine in this restaurant is quite tasty.” Shen Wenhuan said after a small laugh.
Not long after that came the waiter. Lian Huanran and Shen Wenhuan started ordering quite a lot of food for a group of 3 people whereas Lian Haocun only saw Master and his brother ordering with indifference.
After eating to his fullness, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Shen Wenhuan commented and chatted a bit about the food in the restaurant on the way to the inn to rest. Although Lian Haocun only responded briefly or nodded.
The next day they continued their journey to Pascima City. Travel time to Pascima City from Sundara City is 16 days trip. During that time the activities carried out by Lian Huanran, Lian Haocun and Shen Wenhuan were the same as the previous 10 days of travel. Although during the trip, Lian Huanran often complained of boredom.
...****************...
16 Days later
Pascima City
The city looks almost similar to Sundara City, only people pass by more than in Sundara City.
“About once!” Lian Huanran cried seeing many people who made the road almost crowded.
Shen Wenhuan tackles, “Of course. The auction in Pascima City was quite famous. We better eat and rest for today. The auction will be held tomorrow afternoon. Before afternoon, you can walk around in Pascima City to see the goods sold, if you want to buy something buy with the money I gave before.”
Lian Huanran excitedly.
