Heart Cultivation

The small bugs who were terrified before heaved in relief, few only opened single eye to check whether the danger was over?

They don"t believe that their nests were saved else it would have trampled long ago if the serpent was alive.

Jen was sitting on the ground absorbing essence to replenish herself and nourish little flower, the surrounding resumed its previous carefree mood.

It was evening, the weather also recommenced its natural routine, the light cold wind blew with the snowflakes.

The flowers were swaying, the wind brought chill.

"Since you killed the most feared beast of the Swan Lake, I am afraid you will get in trouble," a glow worm came and fluttered its wings, a snowflake fell on its head and it toppled down on the ground, this glow worm was knocked over with a snowflake, Jen saw this and slightly smiled.

"I am grateful that a very strong creature is worried for my safekeeping, I might need your a.s.sistance in time of danger," Jen was not mocking, she was aware everything has its own strength and power to sustain in this world.

Since she spoke without any tinge of disrespect, the glow worm felt honored, "Worry not miss, I won"t coward you can test my rect.i.tude any time," it patted its imaginary chest and claimed.

The other bugs were proud at the bravery of this bug to go and talk with the girl, now they were less fearing her instead they were thinking to befriend her.

"I dare not to doubt the integrity of a brave creature," Jen bowed her head slightly.

In her eyes, to offer a helping hand despite being a small creature, it was more than courageousness not a thoughtless act.

The glow worm happily went back in its nest.

The night was slipping at rapid pace, the upper region of the Swan Lake and the nearing area fell in silence in the middle of the night.

Today, Jen has no luxury to rest even for a bit, this was the first day of her second punishment and it was little tough compared with yesterday, she was constantly nouris.h.i.+ng one of the seeds which she plucked two days ago and in result she was sentenced.

This seed was brought up by the expert.

Since the expert work hard to keep a balance in the nature, these seeds were used for different purposes, the colorful flowers were taken care and scattered in the Penumbra Valley so that the rare herbs could be produced, the colorless flowers were reserved to nourish and turn them in treasures and then it would also be scattered in the mountains for various reasons.

If these treasure were gotten by craftsmen, they would make armors while using this second and first level material, if clone menders were able to dig out these treasures, they would make weapons, and so on.

The levels of the material depends solely on the nourishment sequence besides phases, third level material were nourished by extreme core experts and the second level treasures were nourished by newbie supreme experts, only the first level treasures were nourished by supreme experts and these treasures were sought after, it was possible if a first level treasure appeared somewhere, there will be huge wars between the cultivators to get hold on the treasure.

Stronger wins in the end, this is the rule of nature for who knows how many millenniums?

Several experts of proficiency apt.i.tude wander around in different Manias to search a treasure, it depends on luck whether they get hold on it.

Proficiency Apt.i.tude constantly needed a source to upgrade, for example a Mender was called a proficiency expert at medicines and herbs, he could heal and cure damaged Acmes Pairs but the problem begins when they cross levels from the usual set and advance, to advance in the learned skills they needed sources.

Mending was not just a Proficiency Apt.i.tude, it was profession that always needed practice and sources.

Whoever sought to advance would sacrifice his rest and go around, search, wander and learn.

Since Jen possessed supreme roots, and her purity of the essence matched to an expert level, it was highly likely that the colorless flower would turn into first level treasure.

This colorless flower has compact material qualities, and it was for clone mending stuff, if this was true and this will prove by next day then it was a chance that Jen would be surrounded by more strong enemies, she was a.s.signed to protect this flower for two days and it would be going a horrible as soon as the treasure appeared.

The core was not a myth for experts, most of them knew its existence, in fact the expert those who were looking for some treasures, and they would wander around this Swan Lake in hope to get their hands on some treasure.

Not many but still few were able to get in the past, and this gave audacity to others, they would come every now and then to check the upper region if there was some chance to s.n.a.t.c.h a treasure.

This upper region was selected for the growth of several treasures for a strong reason, inside the core, the atmosphere was controlled and conditioned, while this upper region uses open essence source for its growth.

And the bigger benefit provider was the Swan Lake itself, the lake was full of life and mystery at the same time.

Because of this reason, several treasures were given this region for proper growth and respected core members were handed responsibility to protect these treasure in their immature stages.

The stronger members never faced much difficulty while the weaker one has the strength of expert at the back, they would appear immediately if the respected member was surrounded with enemies.

It was bad luck that Jen was facing her punishment, by chance the colorless flower was about to turn into treasure and perhaps no expert would come for her help if she was surrounded by enemies.

The reason was simple, she was given punishment by Yongjie and other experts have their own matters to look after so they perhaps won"t bother this staple.

Few wandering experts were on their usual look out today, they have heard that experts were able to protect all the seeds when these seeds were ploughed in the west and north region, if they give a rough calculation then twenty one percent out of seventy percent seeds must be related to the weapon material.

If it was true and then they were quite lucky, they would try their best to steal half of them.

Stealing was the only option because once the nourishment phase completed, the core expert would bring it somewhere and scatter randomly and they would perhaps grow old in struggle of finding and digging so they chose this way.

Why experts scatter treasure randomly because they wanted to make it fair for everyone, whoever struggle more and work would get these treasures as reward.

"If I am not able to get this treasure on time, what use this treasure has for me?" a man wearing a complete blue overall was standing at the peak of a mountain and he was on his daily routine to check whether core has nourish any treasure for clone mending?

"Why giving me justification, I did not ask for it," an old expert who was peaking toward upper region ignored the man, to this this man wants to look just and fair, just look at your cultivation history if you have forgotten, he snickered and the man chuckled in return, he was not offended instead he like this old man.

The old man was not afraid to begin a battle, he was learned and strong to face many enemies at the same time.

"I can only see a beauty there, perhaps she forgot her path or she is affected by the beauty of upper region?" the man took a look and commented.

"You remain this from your childhood or you were struck during a berserk battle?" the old man mocked again.

"Old man, you are going too far this time, I only respect your learning and experience else I am not a good temper pal," the man was little displeased and twitched his sharp brows.

"Alright, I guessed your upper limit, I will keep in mind," the old man patted on his shoulders, from expression he looked sincere while actually he was checking he strong was this man.

He wanted to make sure if they had to fight for treasure, what level of treachery he should expect, yes treachery not help, apparently they were together but in reality they were planning how to get their hands on the treasure separately and if they had to fight along then they should be doing it only to get rid the protector.

Later they would fight with each other but that was another matter, currently they were together for good reason.

The future was unseen and unpredictable, right?
