Chapter 182 – The Mysterious Seventh Floor

Lin Ming restored his mood to tranquility, took out two pure true essence stones, and sat down in th while slathering bone recovering medicines on his arms

A o, he had fractured the bones within his ar the spear, and they had turned into a bloody mess This kind of injury would normally be impossible for a martial artist to recuperate fro’s resilience, recovery rate, and blood vitality had all been greatly enhanced In addition to the effects of two priceless bone recovery pastes, his arms were completely recovered within two hours

In the last re restored his true essence and physical strength to its optimum condition, and adjusted his mood to be tranquil and serene

Finally, he began the seventh and last trial

A light flashed, and the tely bright white world filled with luht, and countless scenes formed and twisted around him

“The seventh trial… in 19,000 years, no one has ever set foot here” Lin Ming clenched his fists, and completely calmed down

Prior to this, Lin Ming had repeatedly iined what sort of scenario would play out in the seventh level However, now that he had truly set foot in the seventh level, what he saw here left him utterly stunned

Of the first six levels, each world and corresponded to its name For instance, the first level of hell had been a blood lake The second level was Hungry Ghost which corresponded to the Yellow Springs The third level was Animals which corresponded to the vast wilderness The fourth Witch Slave level had corresponded to an arena…

Lin Ming believed that since the seventh level was the World of the Sorcerer, the scene he expected to see should have been similar to some land within the Realm of the Gods

But, he didn’t expect to co, there were lively crowds and peddlers hawking their wares There were little children playing around, and the faint hint of dust and fragrant flowery perfu seemed to be an absolute reality

But none of these had surprised Lin Ming What had shocked him beyond speech was the place where he now stood

He stood before a fancy, yet somewhat old restaurant

The clay tiles were no longer bright, and the red lacquered pillars were faded with tied, and the roof was tilted Everything exuded a vague flavor of endless years…

Lin Ming was far too fa as he could re to storytellers weave their fantastic tails and roas He had watched as people played chess, and had eaten candy with old and frequent customers

The covered tea-cups, the sugar-coated candied haws, the towel draped over the shoulder of a waiter, the delicious food that his mother had made… all of these were exactly the same as those within his memories

This… was his home

“This is the Lin Family restaurant of Green Mulberry City I’ve lived here for more than a decade of my life I… how did I end up here?”

Lin Ming couldn’t help but slowly lift his foot to enter into the restaurant But just as he passed the threshold, in thatstood where he was, his heart like a billowing unsure wave

He saw a young , about 18 or 19 and holding a fan, smile and walk out from the kitchen

But this person wasn’t so To be exact, this was Lin Ming a few years later

However, looking at thiscould see that he had no hint of cultivation within his body He had a bookish and scholarly appearance; he had apparently never cultivated martial arts in his life

Not only that, but the tere completely incompatible in demeanor and temperament

Even when Lin Ming held his breath, there was still a sharp air that was present between his brows This air seemed as if it was ready to erupt at any h the sky, unstoppable

But this young man in front of him only held a cynical smile, and in that sance of a scholar’s son

‘This… is this really me?’

Lin Ming could not believe this

“Little Lizi, prepare a sedan fora perforo down in support” The younghis fan

“This… this is not good…” The small servant na Master, the second lady of the Tian Faht and personally requested that you attend by name”

“Attend your face If she’s holding a feast then she’ll want a chef What use is there in ?”

“This…” Little Lizi seemed pained “The second lad of the Tian Fa Master leave behind a painting at the birthday banquet tonight, with a poem You are currently the new chosen scholar, your poetry is definitely number one within Mulberry City…”

“Moreover, Young Master, this second lady of the Tian Family is very beautiful and virtuous The last time Madame saw her, she liked her veryMaster, don’t go!”

Before Little Lizi had finished, the youth had already stepped out the door without even a backwards glance He said, “If my father asks where I went, tell him I went to drink”

Before the words had finished, he was already gone Little Lizi’s face was like a bitter eggplant that was squashed He was simply finished If the Master or the Madame found out about this, then he would certainly be scolded

The second lady of the Tian Fa Master Not only that, but the second lady of the Tian Faround, and was a natural fit to the Young Master, as the chosen scholar

But Young Master Lin had actually taken a liking towards Miss Su of Teal Flower Hall, it really was impossible to understand his mood

The truth was, Teal Flower Hall was actually a brothel, but it was a higher class, ant brothel The roomed and mannered, and sold their skills not their bodies They had elegant and refined appearances, and were proficient in poetry and painting These talented ladies could be considered stunning and rare beauties within the world

And Miss Su was the h she still maintained her pure body, she was still a prostitute of a brothel With her cheap origins, how could the Master and Madame possibly allow her to marry into the family?

“I’ Master has gone to Teal Flower Hall, then not only will the Young Master be finished, but I will also suffer bad luck” Little Lizi had a face of suffering He didn’t knohether he should honestly report this matter to the Master and Madame, or if he should try to conceal it

Lin Ming had been silently standing outside of the restaurant, quietly watching the scene unfold Just now, the young lanced at Lin Ming once

Lin Ming understood He did not belong to this world; he was sile person in this world that could see him

“What’s going on here? Why is there another me?”

“When I was eight years old o to school to study I went to the capital and in order to study for the preliminary examination, I studied and read books for four years until I was 12 years old At that time, I threay allto pursue the ht a bitter dispute withthat I became in this world did not abandon his books for martial arts Instead, he entered into the preliminary exam and turned from a scholar into a candidate of the imperial court

“Why is there such a world? Is this a true parallel world? Or is this an iinary world that stems from my mind?”

“If this is the seventh trial, the Sorcerer World, then what does it test? Does it test my heart of martial arts? If it teststhis trial?”

“Since this is the Sorcerer World, then why did I come to the human world?”

Lin Ming’s mood was complex; he just stood within the lobby of the restaurant Like this, he stood for several days

People came and went, and no one saw hih his body…

On the streets there were peddlers hawking their wares, street entertainers singing bright and cheerful songs, the rich aroma of food and wine, and there were also even the weathered faces of his parents…

Everything around him seemed so real and yet unreal

All of the people around hiers…

In this noisy and hectic world, Lin Ming seeray existence His shadoas alone, and he was incomparably desolate

“This world is an illusion, and I am real?”
