Tafari watched the whole ordeal and was impressed as always with Mr Ming.
"Ha ha Old man Ming nice touch there "paragon forest" and " award winning wine"
"hmmm I wonder if this paragon forest is related to the dragons might forest or King of kings mountain range you mention to some customers couple days ago?". He rolled his eyes as he sarcastically questioned
Mr Ming looked at Taf with a knowing look. "Ha ha .., you know the sale is made most times by the impressiveness and grandness of the name". he winked.
"Old man Ming I have been meaning to ask. Do you Know of any places with books in regards to the outside world, but most importantly cultivation?".
Old man Ming looked on Taf with a curious gaze. "Books on cultivation huh, Interesting it seems that you Lil Taf have dreams of one day taking such a road am I right?".
"Many men I've known have had similar dreams as you and not one of them have succeeded in any regard". He sighed as he continued.
" Some have grieved for decades, while others became so discouraged that they have ended there own pitiful live in their failed attempts."
" I may not know much about the topic but I know it's a road that should not be encourage and sort after especially for mortals like us". Taf listened as Old man Ming spoke not letting one word pass him by.
"Why do you think our city is only made up of mortals?" He questioned.
" It isn't that there aren't many who wouldn't seek that road. It is just that we are bounded by our own body to forever be entities that are only a fleeting memory on this earth".
"I don't know why but over my many decades of life I have pondered and found that there might be special trait essential for cultivation. I am not sure, but I have come to that conclusion.
Mr Ming saw the disappointed look on Taf's face and smiled and patted him on the back.
"Well there have been cases whereby a few of us mortals have been selected when the cultivators decend".
At the mention of cultivators, Mr Ming had a look of awe on his face.Taf rarely saw such a look on his face but the mere mention bare fruit to that reaction.
"Next time I cannot miss the descend of the cultivators in the city. I wonder if I can be selected?. Ha ha i wonder what look would old man Ming have?"
Mr Ming collected himself and looked at Tafari with a worried look.
"In the last decade only a few have been selected Lil Taf, so do not get overly excited". He did not want this youngster to get his hopes up for them only to be dashed.
"OK we are mortals, so I doubt there are any books in the city available to common folks on cultivation. However, there should be books and articles about the outside world in a book store I know".
"Today is customer appreciation day on all the stores on West brook Side, where all the merchants are slashing their prices. "
"This would be the best time to go. Maybe you can find elixirs to temper your growing body and the information you seek".
He remembered and then recommended to the youth with curious looking eyes.
"We may be mortals but that doesn't mean we can't have any strength. Look at this old man arms, old and grey from top to bottom yet fit like a bull and keeping Mrs Ming happy". He curled his skinny arms in a pose.
Little Taf rolled on the floor laughing after seeing the old man looking as though he thought himself a himself a hunk.
