4 Preparations

Kane sat on his bed in a meditative position. Currently his consciousness was inside his dantian. For the past few hours he had been trying to find the cause if his situation.

What he had discovered was that his dantian was fully transformed by the seven treasures. His spirit energy had most likely been permanently fused to his fleshy body and the entire realm within his dantian was remolded or destroyed.

Technically, he wasn't a cultivator any longer. He possessed the strength of a practitioner if the Astral soul realm, but truly, he didn't even have a realm!

His blood coloured eyes gleamed as he looked at the materials he gathered from the apothecary shop. These materials weren't all the ingredients needed to unlock his chakra. The main components needed weren't in stock so the apothecary had ordered some from the another branch the next city over.

So sadly poor kane had no choice but to obediently wait for the goods to arrive. He wasn't going to idle though, he planned on finding a place secluded place outside the city to concoct the liquid.

Kane left the city soon after and made his way through the dense forest. His destination: The abandoned mines. These mines were further away from the city when compared to the current ones that are still being mined. Not only were they secluded, they probably had the highest amount of nature energy presently.

With these thoughts him mind, Kane marched through the surrounding vegetation. After going a few miles out kane saw signs of the mines before him.

Before entering one of the dark tunnels Kane lit a torch. Using his photographic memory which was gifted to him by Ushas's divine treasure which was the purple orb, kane made a mental note of his surroundings. After taking countless twists and turns while avoiding the blindspirit beasts inside, Kane entered a small cave, deciding that he was far enough. He dropped the huge pack containing the materials and started preparing the cave. He first lit up the cave with torches, then he began digging a pit with his mining tools.

He stopped digging when he had reached a depth of four feet. After cleaning out the dirt and rubble from the cave, kane looked proudly at his work.

"Tommorow I'll seal the hole's bottom." Kane thought as he packed up. He made it back just in time before the city gates close for the night.

Bright and early the next morning kane got his pack together as he planned to make another trip to the abandoned mines. He almost finished when a knock sounded at his door.

Arching a brow, kane went over to the door and opened it. He was shocked at the sight he seen behind the door. Standing outside his door was a fairy-like girl. She had soft and delicate facial features, her skin was so clear it made one think that of they looked closely enough, they'd be able to see through her. Her lips were small and have a feminine pink colour.

Her hair had a the whiteness of freshly fallen snow. Her body, no doubt just as delicate was covered by a large coat. But all in all, she was beautiful.

"Will you not invite me in?" She asked. Her cold blue eyes regarded him with great contempt.

"Uh, I don't know you." Kane answered, his voice thick with confusion.

After he said this her facial expression seemed normal, but kane could feel the icy rage that sprung from her body, it was as if a bitter snowstorm was raging.

The coolness pricked at his skin forcing him backwards. Closing the door, she regarded Kane's shivering form with disdain and disgust.

"I come to inform you that Young miss Skyla won't have anything to do with you from this day forth." The girl's cold voice had a certain bitter bit as she said this.

Kane's eyebrow frowned deeply. "And just how do you know that?" He asked as his blood coloured eyes flashed while rage was slowly flowing into his heart.

She turned her chin up a few inches higher so that she could look down at him. "Miss McKelvey has been accepted into the The Three god sect. She is also a potential leader Moon God due to her Purple moon spirit.

Kane's eyes widened, "Three God sect!? She truly got accepted?" A smile started to creep on his lips. He was truly happy for her, at a sect one could easily be able to develop and grow into a fuller cultivator. Especially if the sect is a Spirit sect.

There were two types of sects in the world. Spirit Sects and Martial Sects. Spirit sects such as the Three God sect only accept practitioners with similar spirits, such as the moon spirit or the sun spirit or star spirit. This way one could learn incantations that correspond with his spirit.

While Martial sects such as the Poison sect or Cloud soaring sect are sects which have their own unique incantations. So the practitioners thet didn't necessarily need to have similar spirits.

"Moon God? Heheh, her future will definitely be bright!" He said excitedly.

"And that is why she will not have any affiliation with you. You and her are of different worlds now, so you, a lowly mortal shouldn't forget that. yo-"

"Is this all you came to say?" Kane asked, cutting her sentence off.

The cold girl removed a bag from her coat and threw it at his feet. "I'll be giving you this bag of golden orbs to forget her." The girl said turning to the door. But before she could leave the bag if orbs slid over a knocked on the back of her foot.

"I don't want your money! Take it when you leave!" Kane said firmly.

"You!" Turning back to look at him the girl's eyes finally showed a hint of anger. The temperature within the room dropped quickly. An icy force slammed into kane making him stumble.

The Spirit condensation realm! She's two realms higher than his previous cultivation.

The icy girl regarded him for a second before leaving. Kane swallowed the blood that had gushed into his mouth.

"Heh. I will repay you for your rudeness one day."Kane gripped his chest in attempt to calm his madly beating heart.

"Skyla, oh skyla I won't let them separate us! One day, I'll come for you!" His eyes flash resolutely.

Walking through the mining tunnels Kane carried a huge barrel of water on his back."Dropping it he unlocked the lid and poured out the liquid contents into the hole he made. "Haha, now I just need the stone golem heart!"

It had been a day since the cold lady incident but his injuries had all but healed. It seems he really had the perks of a cultivator despite not having a realm, or spirit energy.
