11 Looking around?

"Aunt why are you here?"

Jane smiled and with a gentle voice she said.

"Official business, I was on my way out but since you are already here let me buy you a gift."

Lucas was puzzled. He with an innocent expression on his face asked about it. " A gift for me? Why?"

Instantly Jane's face got cold, she stopped walking and turned around to face Lucas. Lucas got nervous immediately, from childhood his aunt have been like a strict mother for Lucas, Lucas viewed his Aunt Jane as his mother and of all the people in his life, his Aunt is at the first position. Even though Lucas's memory was not complete, some feelings were deeply ingrained within his soul. The instant she turned around, Lucas for unknown reasons immediately got nervous.

"Do you know the importance of tomorrow?"

Lucas was stumped. He immediately thought about system. But without waiting for any response from Lucas Jane revealed the significance of tomorrow.

"It's your birthday. If you can't even take care of yourself, how can I be free from worry if I send you away."

Jane started scolding Lucas right there. Lucas didn't know what to say, after a while Lucas meekly said in a low voice.

"It's just a birthday, what's so big about it?"

Jane took a deep birth. "It's your 16th birthday."

Lucas was perplexed, inquiring to system Lucas understood. Age sixteen is the time when a human is officially said to be a adult in Sea-Mist Plane. On that day usually the individual's parents or very close relatives gives gifts and their blessings.

Lucas was embarrassed he coughed and tried to change the topic.

" I already got all I need, anymore will just be a waste."

Jane looked deeply at Lucas, Lucas for a instant felt like he was seen through all. Jane put her hand on his wrist and closed her eyes. After some moments she opened her eyes in surprise.

"You have completed the initial phase in True Life Origin Scripture!"

Lucas scratched his head and nodded. There was nothing to hide. He didn't feel much hard, he felt even without the system he could easily accomplish learning, just a little more time was needed.

"Good, good, very good. I didn't thought your talent in cultivation was also this good. When I first heard that you have chosen [True Life Origin Scripture] I felt sorry for your choice, but now you've proven your choice to be entirely correct" Jane beamed with joy. Even the expressionless Alyha's eyes were wide open.

Lucas was puzzled so he asked. " Is it that difficult?"

Shaking her head Jane turned around to walk, Lucas and Alyha followed. Looking brightly at Lucas and Jane slowly explained.

"Most of the mages specialized in crafting or other life profession will try some body tempering techniques at some point of time in their journey of cultivation. Most wouldn't even be able to form a core. But mages cultivate the body for being healthy and not for strength.

From the ancient cultivation era till now, there were many techniques and there were almost 30 top techniques that used treasures or other methods and avoided the traditional long torturous and painstaking way."

"That many top grade techniques." Lucas with amazed.

Jane nodded and continued. " Among them, if I remembered correctly about 21 of them was ridiculously difficult. The [True Life Origin Scripture] you practice is a part of [Supreme Life-Death Origin Scripture], if you successfully cultivated to form a core then you need to get a copy of it."

Lucas quickly nodded and mentally noted the name.

Jane had a complicated emotion in her eyes, staring at Lucas her nephew Jane mentally sighed. "I had once tried but failed. The most difficult part is to sense Life essence inside yourself, if you got some spare time read the research notes on the main scripture. There you can find many information of the Scripture and many of the future problems can be solved. So when you got time, make sure to carefully read it."

Lucas seriously nodded. Seeing Lucas being so obedient Jane was happy.

"I have seen a treasure that may help you in cultivating [True Life Origin Scripture], it will your gift."

Lucas nodded and expressed his happiness with a big smile and followed his aunt.

"Aunt I have noticed that there aren't many good products here. Sky Imperium Palace is a colossal, so why aren't there any on the display?"

"Top items will only be on auctions and generally the most needed items will be made by the craftsmen of our family. And rare and precious items can be pre-ordered or can just buy from the main branches." Jane with a light smile explained.

"Aunt, does it mean this Sky Imperium Palace is not considered as a main branch." Lucas was astonished inside, if a not too important branch is this luxurious, how deep must be their pockets.

"In City of Datura no main branch of any external organizations are allowed, only if the organizations have a very deep connection with Arsln Family, only then will it be allowed."

"Your Uncle's Evenrise Corporation is an example."

Sky Imperium Palace was luxurious, he knew that City of Datura was prosperous and many merchants trade their merchandise due to the reputation of Arsln Family. Merchants travel through City of Datura mainly because of the main highway, one of the main and safe routes to Capital of Federation.

City of Datura is the headquarters of the Arsln Family and so for the convenience of everyone, free market was formed outside and far from the core of City of Datura and near the road leading to the Capital.

No matter how strong a influence is they couldn't and dare not to place a individual above the first realm of the three higher realm.

Among the organizations in City of Datura there were only 2 mega level foreign association. Mercenary Guild and Merchant Guild.

Lucas continued to follow behind Aunt Jane, after a while they reached an office. On the door in a golden plate embedded with jewels a word was written ' Manager '.

The attendant nearby saw aunt Jane and quickly walked forward and greeted. Aunt Jane simply told him to ask for the manager.

Lucas was at first surprised seeing the attendant of Sky Imperium Palace acting submissively but thinking it over he understood that the employees must be familiar with aunt Jane and her power.

In just some short moments a chubby man came through the door and welcomed them.

"Madam, I didn't thought our next meeting will be so soon. Please what can I help you with?"

Aunt Jane pointed at Lucas "He is Lucas Arsln, my nephew, he wants to buy something, give him the treasure catalog including the hidden one."
