The huge building was bustling with people. Not only cultivators could be found here. Commoners, traders and some murky people walking around and looking for a chance to earn a few coins.

The building itself had multiple levels and the first thing that came into Kendra's mind was 'MALL'. 

And it was looking like a mall. Did another person from my world reincarnate here? 

The buildings inside and outside the city looked like they escaped storybooks from olden times. And then building like this was really sticking out. Is there a story behind this s place?

"This place looks... Interesting." She wanted to comment more, but the crowd is way too loud.

The difference between the mall from her world and this place, the noise.

The hawkers, people arguments, deals, music, beggars... It was really so loud that she almost didn't hear them calling her.

Luckily she had Draga with her so people made space. Here she realized that spirit animal were indeed quite rare.

Among the crowd, only a couple cultivators with spirit animals were walking and people respectfully made space for them. Even those that had heated arguments would stop to make a way and look at spirit animals in wonder.

As Kendra walked with a group, no one could tell whose spirit animal Draga was. On top of Draga's head was a tiny pink cat that looked around in curiosity. 

As they moved to the other side of the trading hall there were fewer people and Kendra was stunned by the calmness of passerby's.

Bes took her by hand and spoke in a normal voice. "Here come only cultivators and those that have tasks. There is no need for loud noises as cultivators usually would just bring tasks or things they want to sell. We have to sign everyone in the finished task. You go to the store with a potion sign. They are always interested in herbs. And they pay fairly."

Kendra nodded with a smile and was about to leave when Lord Daruvar stopped her. "When you are done, wait for us here. We will be done fast as well. Then we can go and check your abilities."

Kendra gave him a slight nod and walked towards the potion store, while their group entered a huge hall where cultivators were looking trough the new tasks.

She was curious about everything, but she will find out with time. 

As she entered the store a slight ringing noise made her look up and she saw a bell hanging by the door. Interesting. Like in those old stores in past times. Isn't it cute?

Calm looking man with striking red hair looked at her with big eyes. Impossible...

Kendra blinked at him and furrowed her eyebrows. He isn't one of those nasty people that like young girls? Right?

The man became calm. She is far away. What am I thinking? Get your grip, Cian.

Kendra came closer and bowed politely. "I am new here. Could you please see the healing plants I picked and tell me are they usable?"

Cian nodded half in daze half in wonder. It's the same voice and that wooden expression. But she knows me. This child clearly has no idea who I am. Curious... Ahhh, I'm dying out of curiosity.

He tried to focus and looked trough the plants. "Anything else?"

Kendra nodded and took two leaves of the Cali plant. Actually, the night when everyone slept, Draga found out that the Cali plant didn't disappear so she went there and cut as many leaves that she could reach. The Cali plant was actually huge and the leaves were almost as long as Draga was. 

But when she took the two leaves, Cian's mouth all st dropped to the floor. "This is Elder Cali. She let you cit so many of her leaves?"

"Elder Cali?" Kendra had no idea what he was talking about.

"Cali becomes Elder Cali after hundred of years. Her leaves can be cut only under luck. The healing properties of the plant are a hundred times stronger than normal Cali. Usually, Elder Cali fights back as it is time to give spirit fruit. She let you cut her leaves means she chose not to have spirit fruit this time. I'll buy all the leaves you have." He could clearly see the bone stave she held in her hand. That thing has a big space. And looking by her expression, he already knew he was right. She has more of it. 

Under his astonished eyes, he counted five huge leaves and waved his hand. He collected them into his space ring and smiled at her. "I'll pay you as you wish. As you ate clearly cultivator I'll hive you spirit stones or potions. Chose."

Kendra nibbled onto her lip and thought about it. "I just started cultivating. Is there potion that Gould help me cultivate without fearing on harming my body."

Cian nodded. "It is gone and marrow cleanser. It helps your body to become stronger. Listen, long, long time ago I for punished for cultivating too fast but not steading my Sea of Powers. But to have that steady your body must become stronger. Everything has to grow at the same time. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"

His powers were quite high and he could feel how unsteady her body and power were. "If you can find a place where you can concentrate on your Sea of Powers and strengthens it, then your cultivation won't be that shaky as it's now. Anyway. I'll give you two options. Drink them when you start cultivating for a longer period. And here are spirit stones."

He gave her the Bone and Marrow potion and Meridian cleanser. He almost chuckled. Meridian cleanser was a potion that cleansed the body of all impurities. If this child was Kendra, she would get disgusted by herself. 

Looking at the child Lais aging he chuckled. How can he compare their Kendra to this girl? Yes, they looked similar. Something was different, very different, but what?

He understood what. Kendra was maybe a cold faced and the stiff person sometimes, but she had beautiful warm eyes. Yes, this child was like a lost soul filled with nothing than pain.

It hurt him to watch her like this. Why does he feel strangely familiar to her? Is it really because of the devastating resemblance to her?

Suddenly a hand appeared behind him.

He slowly turned around and smiled. "Stop playing. How are our kids?"

The beautiful woman slipped her hands around his neck and smiled. "They feel cozy in the volcano sea. Your parents are watching them. I came here for the spirit beast tournament. By the way, did you know what happened today?"

By her expression, he knew it must be something big so he listened quietly. But when he heard about talking animals and people understanding each other for a short amount of time, alarm bells run around him.

"Husband, husband... What is it? Your face is completely white." The woman was worried about him being so strangely pale.

There must be a reason. What if... what if she lost memories? In that case, she must restore her powers from start. But she is being now here and no one knows. Does that mean no one should know? If her enemies find out she is completely powerless, that would be troublesome. 

Even tho this world was made by Kendra she never used her powers to harm anyone if there was no need. But that doesn't mean everyone loved her. She had enemies even in this world. 

He can't even send notice to her family as those people might find out. He looked at his beautiful wife and sighed. He really loved her, but she didn't know how to keep secrets. 

If he tells her the truth, the secret will be broken. So he just held her tightly and kissed her lips. This was the easiest way to stop her from asking questions.

As she dazedly looked at him with clouded eyes, he chuckled. "I remembered suddenly that I didn't give one of the cultivators an appropriate amount of spirit stones. Wife, will your Elder kill me?"

The potion store was actually in ownership of a Demon. He chose to be completely honest and for decades now worked together with different schools. 

There was even a school for potion mystery for people that have to wish to learn. 

The woman snapped out her daze and sighed. "He is quite strict with rules. But he will forgive you. After all, you know very little about herbs and potions and prices. We are here only for a day, so calm down. Your uncle is coming soon and will join the tournament with his students."

Uncle Fintan...
