Chapter 16

In the lower realm

In the lower realm, many rumours circulated. Some were about fallen nobles, some about their bad deeds. The conspiracies between rich. But there was a rumour that captured Jim's interest. He sat leisurely in a tea house listening to the gossip. Ahem, facts of what was going on.

I heard she has a thousand soldiers over mortal martial.

How do you know it is a she?

They say she is even stronger than Duke Ru who is on True martial Six.

That can not be true.

Shh, her eyes and ears are everywhere the lady shushed her friends.

It did not surprise Jim. His Master was exceptional she just needed a boost sometimes. The funding she had given the old master to buy a house was more than enough. So Harrison decides to invest the money in a few shops and an auction house.

When the old Master found out he was furious and surprised. Harrison had an eye for business. Within a month we were able to stand in almost all industries.

The only problem was they had got a little carried away. They hoped that she would not get too angry.

Jim saw Cherry as his Master for a very long time. So he was happy, that she had left whatever bothered her back home. He was ready to pave a new way for her. Jim and the old master saw great talent in Cherry, but they knew she would not show it as if she was scared of it. She was humble in all her actions she was not a saint and never tried to be one. They were too weak to be her master and teach her, hindering her future. So she was theirs they would advise her and get all that is needed. All she required is to be Cherry.

Ethereal Pristine was the name of their new organization. It was formed by millions of people from people. From trained professionals to students.

Rumour spread that the housing agent could see that future and heaven-defying luck. Four years ago he began his greatest work. The meadow of dawn however his budget for his work was priced spirit stones. A hand-fist red spirit stone was almost 1 million gold coins. When he finished the mansion was the size of a royal palace and cost 20 red spirit stones, that was without furniture with furniture was around 40 – 80 red spirit stones.

The tea house was full of guests. Jim left the teahouse in a rush he was late. In an hour Ethereal Pristine gates would open. He still had to change. He descended the Stairway and left.

Chattering and liveliness filled the main street, They were many shops on the sides. Children spread laughter across the street. It was suddenly interrupted.

When are you going to pay me back? A man in his late thirties threw an elderly person to the ground.

The money, gives me a week I beg you.

You say that every time.

A crowd formed around the conflict. Amongst Jim.

Just sell your shop, it is always empty the crowd said.

The people weren't happy with the pricing of the shop it was always ridiculously high. Even the second miss could not afford the things.

Mother, what do they sell?

Spirit beasts and help you in contracting them and perfumes.

They gossiped.

I have something important to do the man said leaving the man on the floor.

No one helped the man up it was when the crowd dispersed. That Jim helped him and assisted him back into the shop.

What a good-hearted young man. He said.

What kind of Spirit beasts do you sell?

All sorts why interested in some?

My master adores animals and Spirit beasts.

How much do you owe the man?

A red spirit stone.

Here, he put the money in his hands.

Oh, no, I can not accept this good Samaritan.

Bye Jim fled. He should just take the money. It was unlikely he would be punished for helping Spirit beast.

….

Ethereal Pristine, A never-ending queue of people of all ages. At the entrance stood an elder fang with a crystal to check if the people had a good personality. The next station was if you were a professional (had a career) or not. Anne stood. At the next stop, stood Darian who asked the people a few questions and gave them a small badge. At the last stop stood Jim Checking their attributes and talent.

They didn't expect so many people to come.

Where are you from?

The old master asked a village chief. It was weird entire villages were enrolling.

Most of them had answered Ragnar. It was a country located to the east of cloud city. Over the past years, they were involved in the war of the middle realm. Many high-ranking officials had sacrificed young children for the use of Alchemy. Giving the middle realm power on par with the moonlight continent. Creating forbidden pills. The young children's Spirit roots would be extracted and the even younger ones with special spirit roots would be cooked alive. A very cruel form of torture.

Spirits roots were used by a cultivator in the higher ranks meaning If you were born without a spirit root after a Rank you can not cultivate any more. But with one, you cultivate freely.

There were many realms, but in the case of simplicity, they divided them into three realms. The lower realm, Middle realm and primordial lands.

The most known of the lower realms were Dong Xian, Ren Do, and Likrofa. They were currently on the border of Dong Xian and Ren DO.

Many talents were found and Ethereal pristine's status skyrocketed. Many letters came requesting an audience with their master, but they were all excused under the guise of being too busy.

Jim and the old Master thought over their actions and realized they were just creating problems for Cherry but at least she is rich now they weighed their guilt down.
