...

“Second Fool” opened his eyes and stared at the mud and thatch roof over

his head. The quilt covering his body was a deep yellow color and had a

musty smell. It was so old that its original color could no longer be

distinguished.

Next to him lay his second brother, Han Zhu, who appeared to be in a deep

slumber. Snores intermittently floated over as he slept.

Five feet from the bed was an earthen wall that had suffered from numerous

cracks due to the passage of time. From the other side of the wall came the

nagging voice of his mother and the occasional deep breathing of his father

who was smoking his pipe.

Second Fool slowly closed his eyes, trying to force himself to sleep. He

knew that if he didn’t go to sleep now, he wouldn’t be able to wake up early

the next day. If he woke up late, he wouldn't be able to go up to the

mountains with his good friends to gather firewood.

Second Fool’s real name was Han Li. This elegant name was not given to

him by his parents. When he was born, his parents had offered two pieces of

cornbread to the village’s Elder Zhang in exchange for giving the baby Han

Li a second name. [1]

When Uncle Zhang was young, he had attended school with the wealthy

children in the city. As he was the only one in the village who knew how to

read a few words, more than half of the children in the village were named

by him.

Han Li was called “Second Fool” by those in the village. Despite his name,

he wasn’t stupid looking or foolish. On the contrary, he was actually the

smartest person in the village. But just like the other children, aside fromwhen they were home, nobody called him by his official name “Han Li”.

Instead, they called him by his pet name “Second Fool”.

The reason why he was nicknamed “Second Fool” was due to the fact that

there was already someone named “Fool” in the village.

This type of nickname was nothing though. There were children in the

village named “Doggy” and “Dumb Egg”. These names weren’t nearly as

pleasant-sounding as “Second Fool”.

Because of this, Han Li felt some consolation even though he wasn't very

fond of his nickname.

Physically, Han Li was very ordinary. He was tan and matched the generic

descriptions of a child born in a farming village. Deep in his heart however,

he had matured faster than others of the same age. Ever since he was young,

he had yearned that one day, he would be able to leave his small village and

explore the fertile lands of the outside world that Uncle Zhang had always

talked about.

Han Li had never dared to speak of his dreams to anyone else in the village

because they would be deeply shocked. After all, leaving this place was a

notion that even adults didn’t easily think about, let alone a small child.

Children around his age only knew how to chase chickens and pet dogs.

They had never entertained the strange notion of leaving the village.

Han Li’s family had a total of seven members, including two older brothers,

one older sister and one younger sister. He was the fourth eldest in his

family and turned ten this year. Together, they lived a hard yet honest

lifestyle. Very rarely did they get to eat meat and fish, but the entire family

was content with living with the meager resources they had.

At this moment, Han Li was hovering between the state of sleep and

consciousness. As he slowly drifted to sleep, only one thought was on his

mind. While in the mountains, he had to pick more red berries for his

younger sister whom he doted on the most!The next morning, at noon, Han Li was shielding himself from the

scorching sun overhead in the shade casted by the pile of lumber on his

back. Wrapped around his chest was a pouch filled to the brim with red

berries that bounced with each step as he walked home. He had no idea that

at this moment, there was a guest in his home, a guest that that would

change his destiny forever.

This guest was actually someone who had very close blood ties with Han

Li. It was his Third Uncle!

It was rumored that his Third Uncle was the shopkeeper of a restaurant in

the nearby city. According to his parents, Third Uncle was the most capable

within their family. After a few hundred years, the Han family had finally

produced someone like his Third Uncle, a figure with status and respect that

was unrivaled within the family.

When Han Li was young, he had only met his Third Uncle a few times. Han

Li’s older brother became a blacksmith’s apprentice in the city thanks to

Third Uncle’s introduction. Every so often, this Third Uncle would even

gift some food to his parents to bring home and eat. Because he had looked

after Han Li’s family with great consideration, Han Li had a very good

impression of him. Even though his parents never said anything, he knew

that in their hearts, they were very grateful.

Han Li’s eldest brother was the family’s pride and joy. As an apprentice of a

blacksmith, he was able to bring home 30 copper coins every month, minus

living expenses. And when he finally graduated from his apprenticeship, he

would earn even more money!

Every time his parents talked about their eldest son, their spirits would soar

with pride. Although Han Li was young, he was tremendously envious. The

best work he could find was to be the apprentice of a craft master and rely

on the crafts he made to earn money.

So when Han Li saw the brand new satin robes and the round face that

belonged to his Third Uncle, Han Li was overjoyed.Setting down the firewood in a corner outside of the house, he went to the

front of the house to greet his Third Uncle. “Third Uncle, Han Li greets

you.” After doing so, he obediently stood to the side and listened to his

Third Uncle chat with his parents.

Third Uncle beamed at Han Li as he opened his mouth, praising his

nephew. “What a sensible child!” After complimenting Han Li, he turned

his attention back to Han Li’s parents and explained the reason for his visit.

Although Han Li wasn’t able to fully understand the words his Third Uncle

was saying as he was too young, he still roughly understood what was said.

It turned out his Third Uncle’s restaurant had the backing of the Seven

Mysteries Sect. This sect was divided into the inner and outer divisions. Not

too long ago, Third Uncle had been officially recognized as an outer

disciple. That meant that he could bring a child between the ages of 7 and

12 to take the Inner Disciple Examinations.

Once every 5 years, the Seven Mysteries Sect would formally issue

invitations for youngsters to take the test to become Inner Disciples. The

test would officially begin the following month. Third Uncle was a smart

and astute man who was childless, so he naturally thought of Han Li who

met the age requirement.

The moment the usually docile Father Han heard the words “Jiang Hu” and

“Sect”, along with many other phrases he had never heard before, he felt

very hesitant. Bringing his smoking pipe to his lips and giving it a puff, he

sat down without saying a word. [2]

According to Third Uncle, the Seven Mysteries Sect could be considered

one of the best sects within several hundred miles.

If one were to become an Inner Disciple, not only would one be able to

practice martial arts for free, one would also receive a monthly allowance

and have his needs taken care of. Not only that, those who didn’t pass the

Inner Disciple Examinations could still enter the sect’s outer division and

become an outer disciple like Third Uncle. They would still have the

opportunity to help the Seven Mysteries Sect handle its external affairs.Upon hearing the possibility that his son could receive a monthly allowance

and even become as successful as his Third Uncle, Han Li’s father finally

decided to give his approval.

After getting the approval from Han Li’s father, Third Uncle felt elated.

Leaving behind two silver coins, he said that he would return in a month to

escort Han Li to the testing area. During this period of time, Han Li’s father

had to ensure that Han Li was clothed and well fed to improve his

constitution so that it would be easier for him to pass the test. After giving

these instructions, Third Uncle bid farewell to Han Li and his father, patted

Han Li on his head and left for the city.

While Han Li didn’t fully comprehend his Third Uncle’s words, he could

understand that he would be able to earn money in the big city. It seemed

that his dream from before was finally going to come true, making him so

excited that he could not sleep for the first few nights.

After one month had passed, Third Uncle returned to the village, wanting to

escort Han Li to the testing site. Before he left, Han Li’s father repeatedly

instructed Han Li on the ways of proper behavior.

One must be honest, have the capacity to endure, and avoid unnecessary

conflicts with others. Meanwhile, Han Li’s mother urged him to take care of

his health and to eat and sleep well.

On the carriage, Han Li had to bite down on his lips to prevent himself from

crying, as he watched his parents gradually disappear from sight.

Although he had always been more mature than other children of the same

age, he was still just a ten year-old child. This was the first time he had left

home, so he naturally felt depressed. A homesickness developed in his

heart, and he was determined to rush home after he struck rich, never to be

separated from his parents again.

Han Li would never have thought that from this moment on, money would

lose any meaning to him. He was unexpectedly going to walk a path

different from ordinary mortals. Instead, he was going to walk down his

own path towards immortality!
