Chaos Spirit Field

Chapter 6: First Arrival in Los Angeles

Zhao Shanhe had been a fool for eight years, and now he was finally able to leave Zhaojia Village, which made him extremely excited. He looked around curiously, looking east and west, as if everything around him was full of novelty.

Because he still retained memories of his past life, he wasn't completely lost in the innocence of a child. He was actually searching for special items that shone with a red light. Those items were the foundation of his existence in this world, although he didn't yet know the specific uses of the spiritual herbs.

Zhao Shanhe was obviously greedy. The road from the village to Luocheng had been built for many years. If there were any good things, they would have been picked up by others long ago. There was no way it would be his turn.

Father Zhao Dabao drank medicine specifically for internal injuries, and after a night of rest, he was almost fully recovered. The reason he was half-dead at the end was because he was afraid of being pursued and didn't get treatment in time.

Finally arriving at Luo City, Zhao Shanhe didn't encounter a single item gleaming red. He wasn't upset; it was normal. He looked at the tall, majestic city wall before him, and a strange feeling came over him. It was as if he had been transported back to ancient times, or even to a film studio. It didn't seem real.

The city gate, in particular, was incredibly large. Judging by the visual, it was at least 20 meters high. If it were made of genuine materials, it would weigh at least or tons. Zhao Shanhe, adhering to the principle of asking questions when he didn't understand, turned to his father for advice.

"Dad, why do you think the city gates of Luocheng are built so high?"

"Son, the gate of Luo City is eighty feet high. It is to prevent innate masters from jumping over the wall and entering. If you have the chance to go to Daliang City, the gate there is even higher. It is said that even martial arts masters cannot jump over it."

"Dad, what is a martial arts master?"

"Above Xiantian is the martial arts master. Once you become a warrior, you will understand. Then someone will naturally teach you those common sense."

"Dad, what is a fairy master?"

"The Immortal Master is a cultivator of immortal arts, the most honorable being in the world. When you see one, you must bow your head in respect."

"Dad, I want to become an immortal master."

Zhao Shanjiang interrupted, "You idiot! To cultivate immortality, you need spiritual roots. There's only one in ten thousand people who can achieve that. Stop daydreaming."

Zhao Shanhe didn't know how he had offended his eldest brother, and he was being targeted everywhere. Yang Xiao'e felt that her eldest son was a little too much, and she scolded him: "Shanjiang, Shanhe is your younger brother, not an idiot. How can you, as his elder brother, call him that?"

"Mom, everyone in the village has been calling you that for years, why didn't you tell me?"

Zhao Shanhe saw Yang Xiaoe raise her hand to hit her brother, and he quickly said, "Mom, nicknames are for people to call you. Ershazi is quite affectionate. If big brother likes, let him call me that. I don't mind."

Zhao Shanhu said: "Second brother, are you stupid? Mother said that idiot is an insult, but I won't call him that."

"Little sister, as long as the family is happy, you can call me whatever you want. Dad has been carrying us all the way, don't you want to come down and take a walk?"

"Dad, put me down. Second brother, if the eldest brother calls you a fool again, I will not be friends with him."

Zhao Shanjiang felt embarrassed by what his younger sister said. He said, "Second brother, I was wrong."

"Brother, there's no right or wrong in a family. A name is just a symbol. It's an insult to outsiders, but it's a nickname to family members. I really don't mind. Dad, you're so good at martial arts, why don't you teach me martial arts?"

"Shanhe, you don't know that the art is not easily passed on. I learned my martial arts in the army, but because of my lack of military merit, I don't have any follow-up techniques. I can only practice to the late stage of the acquired realm, and I'm not qualified to pass on the martial arts. If Xiaozhu becomes the manager, you can become a disciple at the Luo Mansion Martial Hall."

"Dad, what should I do with my eldest brother?"

"Your uncle wants Shanjiang to join the mansion as a servant. As long as he makes contributions, the mansion will reward him with martial arts secrets, and he can practice martial arts."

"Dad, I don't want to be a servant. Why did you stop me from entering the Luo Mansion's martial arts hall back then?"

"Shanjiang, once you enter the martial arts hall, you are a member of the Luo family. Who will help the Zhao family to expand?"

Zhao Shanhe was a little unhappy when he heard that he had to change his name after entering the martial arts hall. He said, "Dad, I am a member of the Zhao family, not a member of the Luo family."

Zhao Dabao advised: "Shanhe, didn't you say that a name is just a symbol? Many people want to enter the Luo Mansion's martial arts hall but have no chance. As long as you cultivate to the level of a martial arts master, you are no longer restricted."

"Dad, I hope I can change back. I will definitely work hard to be Zhao Shanhe again."

"I believe you can do it."

Zhao Shanjiang was simply envious of his younger brother's admission to the martial arts hall, not jealous. His father's explanation had unraveled his inner struggles. He truly couldn't blame his younger brother entirely; the family couldn't expect a fool to carry on the family line.

Zhao Shanhe followed his father to a house with the words "Yang Mansion" written on it. It seemed that his uncle Yang Xiaozhu was doing well in the Luo Mansion and even had his own mansion.

Yang Xiaozhu was a servant in the Luo Mansion, and he was the master in his own mansion. When he heard the servant's report, he immediately went out to greet them. Seeing his second sister and her family, he was both happy and surprised. He said, "Second sister, brother-in-law, why are you all out here? Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Dabao said, "Xiao Zhu, we've come to seek refuge with you. I don't know if you'll take us in."

"Brother-in-law, you're being too polite. Don't stand at the door. I'll welcome you later."

Zhao Shanhe said: "Uncle, you are so rich and live in such a big house."

"Three years ago, I performed a meritorious service, and the young master bestowed this upon me. How could a servant like me afford it? Don't leave this time. When I become the purchasing manager, I'll arrange for you to enter the martial arts hall, and Shanjiang to enter the Luo Mansion as a servant. I'll find you a martial arts manual to practice first."

"Thank you uncle."

"We're all family, what's there to thank me for? Brother-in-law, what happened at home?"

Zhao Dabao hesitated and was too embarrassed to speak. Yang Xiaoe said, "Xiao Zhu, your brother-in-law was caught following someone and was almost beaten to death."

"Second sister, who is my brother-in-law following?"

"He followed Zhao Dagou to someone else's house. The man's surname was Li, and he seemed to be the manager of the Luo Mansion."

"Second sister, the steward surnamed Li, you are talking about Li Jianren, right? He is a congenital master, and my brother-in-law is too reckless."

"Who says it isn't?"

"Second sister, it's all my fault for not thinking things through. I should have taken you here after I dug up the ginseng. I'll bring my younger brother and sister-in-law to show you later."

"Xiao Zhu, you finally got it. Your parents can finally rest in peace. Whose girl are you looking for?"

"The young lady of the mansion."

"Yang Xiaozhu, you're going to die."

"Second sister, the marriage is a done deal. Luo Mei will marry me. Your brother is still very attractive."

At this moment, a servant came over and said, "Master, someone from the Luo Mansion just came and asked you to go there. The competition has been moved up. Please bring your ginseng with you."

"I understand, second sister, brother-in-law, if you need anything, just tell Changgui. It's like your own home when you come here."

"Xiao Zhu, Zhao Dagou gave Li Jianren a 110-year-old mountain ginseng. You have to be careful."

"Brother-in-law, I know what's going on. Changgui, be careful and serve me."

"The slave obeys."
