CHAPTER 15
The capital ‘Green Haven’ was quite big, I guessed. Rolland Estate was in the inner part of the capital and where I had aimlessly walked to, had lanterns, but many places looked deathly quiet.
It was normal here to shut up shop when the sun went down, which only left taverns, inns and rich shops opened, because they could afford light pearls. My curiosity made me forget nearly everything else, as I continued to sight see…
The light pearls really caught my eyes, when I had first seen them, they were just like normal lights, that used electricity from Earth. But…A h.e.l.l of a lot more convenient!
You can hold them, and they don’t burn you, and you can move them around very easily. There was a special meditation that many cultivators do, which was infusing spiritual essence inside of an object, and this was how the light pearls were created.
I found out quite some time ago, that it was a basic meditation, but had many…Branches. For instance, a more popular use of this meditation, was used to infuse weapons instead. But, those that made the light pearls, used only the spiritual essence from the sun, to infuse a pearl, which made it tedious work.
When I had found that out, I was even more enthralled with cultivation. The book I had first read, hadn’t really said much about the elemental side of the spiritual essence…But, after a few weeks, I realized that maybe it did, because it had talked about colours and I remembered not understanding it.
After a few months of investigating everything, I believed that the ‘Bending s.p.a.ce’ meditation, represented the ‘elemental’ spiritual essence as colours instead of names. So, I now understood it perfectly and found the ‘Bending s.p.a.ce’ meditation even better than before!
The strange thing about the different types of elemental spiritual essence, was that it wasn’t something that you had to worry about obtaining. Everyone could take all of the elemental types into themselves. The hard part, was using the elemental spiritual essence separately and away from the others. Having tried it a few times, I found it very difficult and understood why light pearls were so hard to make, in fact, I was in awe to those who made them!
But, that was a few years ago, and seeing one now didn’t totally widen my eyes with excitement as much as it did before...
Remembering my grandparents from my past life, they told me that people often went to bed not long after the sun had gone down and woke up early the next morning. For some reason, I remembered this, as I saw it with my own eyes.
I miss them.
I looked down and sighed.
My life had indeed ended, there was no way to return. But, it became increasingly obvious to me ever since I was born here, that life on modern day Earth was much more simpler than here…
What would I give to sit on a couch and watch a movie?
“Excuse me miss.”
Looking up, I see an old beggar man come closer to me. I wasn’t freaked out at all, and smiled at him, “What is it?”
The beggar man took another small step towards me, I didn’t move, but became more aware.
“Does…Does young miss happen to have change to feed an old man?”
I walked the rest of the way to him myself and placed a fruit into his hands discreetly, “Old man, take care of this for me.”
I walked away, without turning back, hearing his thanks from behind me.
Knowing dangers and troubles could happen at any time, I always used to carry a small amount of food and water on me. As my cultivation base had gone into the second rank, though, I had found that I could do something spectacular!
They have been called many different things, such as, universal bags, s.p.a.ce bags and many, many others…That I’ve forgotten…
What I use isn’t a bag though, and I haven’t really called it a name. What I had tried to do, ever since I thought it could be done, was find a way to put this thought of carrying ‘storage’, into my current life!
