and the ceiling of the cave. On the floor, there were human skeletons of five people and a wooden box, which looked like a coffin.

 

I went closer to examine the bodies and found 5 Spatial Rings* in the hands of the skeletons, 3 Gold Rank and 2 Silver Rank Swords. Near the walls, there were glowing rare herbs, which could be sold for a high price. Every single one of those could get me nearly 50 gold, but in an auction, I cannot even imagine. The spatial rings contained 8 Black Rank Skills.

 

‘I have become RICH!!! Now we won’t have to worry about money in the City of Fire!!!’

 

I took all the crystals and herbs and started to go back. Suddenly I remembered about the coffin. There was no need to take a risk and open Pandora’s Box. However, my curiosity was killing me, so I mustered up my courage and stepped closer to the coffin. My every step weighed more than a tone. My heartbeat raced with every step. I sat down and reached out my hand to open the box. I slid off the cover to peek inside. It had another corpse, just like the rest, but it was a bit strange. It was radiating Chi*. Even the cold cave became warm. The corpse had a black book in its hand, close to its chest.

 

‘Should I pick it up or leave it as it is. What if, it is a trap or a bad omen?’

 

Me being me, I picked up the book. It gave off a powerful wave of Chi when I touched it. It had a name written on it. “Godly Art of Cultivation” I opened the book. The pages didn’t flip after page 1.

 

“Does it mean that I have to practice and master the first page to go to the next one. Also, I already have a Cultivation Technique” But the Technique I had didn’t work for me, so I decided to try this one and see if it worked.

 

So, I sat in the meditating posture and started cultivating according to the book. All the Chi in my body started to leak out of my 7 acupressure points. I tried to stop it but it didn’t work. I couldn’t move from my place. I was getting dizzy and thought that it was the end of me.

 

However, after a few moments, Chi started to gather in the acupressure points. It was so strong that my body started to become hot. It was getting harder and harder to breathe. It felt like an explosion in my chest.

 

I made a breakthrough!!!

 

I started to jump around in the entire cave with my hands in the air. That was the best moment in my life so far.

 

After that, I stored all the treasures in the big storage rings and then put them in the smallest one. I started to leave the cave but turned around and said, “Thank you, honorable souls, you have done a huge favor to me. I hope you all rest in peace” and walked out of the cave.

 

I went back to the resting area and told Kevin, our group leader, about the cave I found but not the part in which I went inside.

 

“Take everyone there, we will go inside and see if it has something valuable”

 

I showed the way to the cave. Everyone was eager to go in and search it. However, I said, “What if there is something dangerous inside? We should send 2 people as scouts to see if it is safe or not. I will be the first person to volunteer. Nick, why don’t you go with me?”

 

“Yeah Nick, you should go with her. You are at the 5th Stage of Practitioner Rank. You should go and show us what you have got.” Aron added.

 

Nick hesitantly replied, “OK, I will go.”

 

I went up to Sohe, hugged her and whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry, he will never come out of this cave”

 

We walked in with torches in our hands. Nick was leading the way from the beginning. We went down and turned left, towards the big room. It was empty. Nick stopped for a moment and was turning around, but before he could, I hit him with the strongest Gold ranked Sword. The entire cave was filled with flames. Just by swinging the sword once, the man with the cultivation of a 5th Stage Practitioner Rank died. I was shocked, but I had to stick to the plan. So, I screamed at the top of my lungs and started to run outside.

 

When I came out, I found Aron in front of me. I stood in front of him and started crying. He hugged me and made me sit on the ground. His touch was soft and filled with pure love. He consoled me. I stopped crying and narrated an imaginary story of a chained man being inside the cave. He was strong, very strong. Nick was in his range, so he killed him. I was further away from him so I ran away. It was really scary.

 

Everyone believed in my story.”As the cave is not safe, we will go back to the resting place and continue our journey” Kevin said. He even gave us the Flame Lion, which belonged to Nick.

 

We continued on our journey after this incident. At night, I told Sohe about what happened, except the treasures. She cried a lot that night but slept quickly too.

 

 

 

Key:

Energy Crystals- They are crystals filled with Chi. They are used to aid cultivation.

Chi- The energy used by cultivators is called Chi.

Spatial rings- They are storage rings, which have their own space.

Chapter 5 : A Supposedly "Good" Day

That night, I practiced The Godly Art of Cultivation, aided by the Energy Crystals. The entire night went by. Just before the daybreak, I made another breakthrough. I reached The 2nd Stage of Practitioner Rank in just one night. It was like magic. This time, it wasn’t painful, rather it was a pleasant feeling. I wasn’t tired or sleepy after that. Everyone else woke up soon afterward. We packed up our stuff and got ready to leave for our destination.

 

A day passed without any adventure. Still, I went through hell, avoiding Aron. He was making advances on me. All-day he followed me like a ghost. At night, he set his tent near ours. He was humming the tune of a romantic folk song the entire time. Sohe went off to sleep earlier, so I started cultivating. I went outside to practice the new martial art, 10,000 Terror Fists.

 

The explanation was simple but the stress that it left on my body was immense. After practicing the technique for an hour, I started cultivating. All my fatigue vanished I was getting stronger. I practiced the technique again, but this time it wasn’t that tiring. After a whole night’s training regime of cultivating and practicing, I could do 30 punches in a single breath.

 

The next day, Aron was still following me everywhere. At noon, I went off-road to get away from him, but he followed me there too.

 

‘Why is he following me? What have I done to get this?’

 

I began to run away from him. He ran so fast that he caught up to me in no time. He held me by the waist from behind to hinder me from running.

 

Aron - “Why are you running away from me? Do you hate me or what?” he asked.

 

Lia - “Let go of me you pervert!”

 

Aron - “You didn’t answer my question”

 

Lia - “Molester! Harassment! Help!”

 

Aron - “Fine, I will let go of you but don’t run away again. OK?”

 

Lia - “Yeah”

 

He let loose his grip and turned me around, but before he could say anything, we noticed another pyramid-like rock on the right of me. It was bigger than the one I saw the other day. Also, it had weird symbols on it. They were like runes. Aron and I walked up to the rock to examine it.

 

Aron was looking at the rock very closely. After a few minutes, he inserted his Chi in the runes and they started to dissipate. ‘So, he knows how the runes work. Cool’. That side of the rock opened up like a door. There was a staircase going down. We looked at each other, held hands, and moved forward.

 

The moment we got in, the door closed on its own. Space inside became dark. As we stepped down, the torches on the sides started to light up on their own. The moment we laid our feet on the next step, the torches on both sides would light up. We went down at a steady pace.

 

The stairs ended after 2 to 3 dozens of steps. The path opened in a small room that also had runes on the walls. Other than those, the room was completely empty. Aron moved ahead and solved the set of runes. It took him quite a while to do so. He stepped back with me. The walls glowed like the sun. We couldn’t open our eyes. When the brightness of the room reduced on its own, we opened our eyes.

 

This time, the walls of the room had vanished and shown a forest pathway. ‘Here comes the adventure’. We continued on the pathway. On the sides, there were plants, which I had never seen before. Aron was very excited after seeing them. He quickly plucked them and stored them in his storage ring.

 

Lia - “You have a storage ring! It is expensive, how come you own such a costly item”

 

Aron – “I uh found it on the way”

 

Lia – “Oh. Nice. So, you know about these herbs?”

 

Aron – “Yeah, I am an alchemist. I make medicines so I know about many rare herbs and their uses.”

 

Lia – “That’s cool”

 

And we kept on walking on the pathway. A while later, we saw fire at the end. We ran up to it to check. There was a stone slab that had a fireball on it. ‘How can there be fire without anything burning!’

 

Aron – “That is a spirit fire*. It is used by martial artists to refine their Chi and by alchemists to refine pills.”

 

Lia – “Then you should take it as it is beneficial for your cultivation.”

 

Aron – “No, you should. I don’t need it. I already have one. The next spirit fire can be refined only after reaching the Grand Master Rank. Refining it before that will put huge stress on the meridians. So you should take it. But refine it later, we have to go back too”

 

Lia – “If you say so. But first, let’s pick up the other valuables.”

 

We went different ways and started collecting the things which seemed valuable. All the items were brought near the stone slab. Mostly, there were rare herbs. Aron took the herbs and I took the spirit stones and the spirit fire. We decided not to disclose it. We stored the items in the storage rings.

 

I went up to take the spirit fire. The moment I picked it up, the entire forest disappeared and we were teleported back to the entrance of the pyramid-shaped rock. This experience was exhausting.

 

When we came back, we were misunderstood for being a couple. On top of that, Aron kept on his sly grin and
