Chapter 3: chapter 3

"But I can" a voice said.

"Then lead the way" Cherry blossom said. What if it leads me to the wrong direction? He probably wants something in ….

"There is the price of leading you out of the spirit stone veins" the voice said.

Wait, I am in a spirit stone vein. Spirit stones are a major cultivation resource, not only can they be used for cultivation. Many people above Mortal Master use spirit stones as a currency. Like how the talent of a human is graded, so are spirit stones. The lowest rank being red then orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple being the highest rank.

"How much, I have no money?" cherry blossom asked

"Silly girl, I don't want your mortal money. Will you sign an equal contract ?"

An equal contract if  my memory serves me right, an equal contract is usually between a cultivator and a beast, but I can't speak to a beast. I only understand the speech of normal animal, but on the other hand I have never met a beast. Equal contracts are contracts that also known as life and death. If one of the contractor dies, so will the other.

Beast are animals that can cultivate and the higher their rank is, the more human speech they could understand and the more arrogant they became.

"What is your rank, I don't want to sign a contract with a weak beast" cherry said.

"Well don't you think I am at lost by signing a contract with someone who is blind how would you even know what rank you are?" the voice as it cut cherry blossom finger and her blood dripped on an EGG! A bright light engulfed the two of them whiles the voice said. On life and death contract shall be signed today between the almighty me and girl.

Before cherry blossom could intervene, the contract had been signed. Witnessing the whole scene, the ice golem stood there, thinking if it should tell its mistress that she had signed a contract with an egg, or it should leave her dark. Scared of infuriating her, it chose to say nothing. "Lead the way" cherry blossom urged the voice to show her the way out. She couldn't wait to hear the stuttering voice of milk tea as he saw that she now had a contracted beast and did not need his help, but out of loyalty I will befriend him again. "Does the spirit vein belong to anyone" cherry asked her contracted beast. "No, for the past 100 years only five people have entered. We have exited the spirit vein, where are we heading to".

"I forgot to ask how are you talking to me?"

Now that we have signed a contract, I can  transmit messages to your brain" The egg  who could not been seen said.

At the entrance of the cave were her subordinates, who knelt on one knee.

"Mistress, where have you been?" one said whiles the other with a straight face said "please punish as you see it fit"

"Get up. How did you find me?" cherry blossom said.

"The hamster that always rest on Misses shoulder came to us and led us here. Which caused suspicion to where you were, but we dared not to enter since a strong aura emitted from the cave." a subordinate said whiles handing the frightened milk tea to her. She had a small built, navy blue hair and was 14-16 years old and the only girl among the group of subordinate. On the way back they met many spirit beasts whom the subordinates handled. In the outer skirts of the mystic mountains where many were beast ranked in the first to the third level of body tempering.

...

In front of the guild stood a middle-aged man in his thirties who welcomed the group. "Miss, thank you for training my shadow guards the past week. How much do you want ?" He untied  his pouch that was tied to his waist.

"How much are you willing to give me?" cherry blossom asked.

"How about a gold coin and maybe two of the Shadow guards"

Before cherry blossom could agree the egg transmitted  "were you really going to say yes to that amount payment that is under our Nivea as someone who going to care of me" whereas Milk tea who had returned to original spot said "cherry blossom what  are you waiting that is a good offer"

To please the two she said" Three gold coins and some days later I will come pick them up"

" A good deal" he said.

…..

When cherry blossom had returned to the mansion of the Qing, the moon had replaced the sun. In her courtyard cherry blossom created a barrier shield, after that was done she dug a hole in which she placed a seed. Then she sat on the ground and started to cultivate. The first step was to clear your mind, the second was to open your eyes and find the correct round light balls and guide them to your dantain. These light were called qi or spiritual energy and were categorized into eight groups. Brown was earth, green is wood, blue is water, red is fire, purple is lighting, yellow is air, black is… and white..... But there was one major problem for cherry blossom she was BLIND which meant she couldn't see the spiritual energy nor could properly guide them to dantain, and she could not see her dantain meaning she didn't know which rank she was.

If one saw the spiritual energy's colour, it meant you had an affinity for that element. After some cherry blossom stood up and the seed which she had planted had turned into a ripe cherry tree after eating a few she sucked on some ice cubes when she remembered that she didn't know what kind of beast her contracted beast was," what kind of beast are you?"

"Me" the egg said

"yes you"

"well I told that I am powerful but for now I am just an egg"

"an egg, why didn't the ice golem tell me anything"!

"Can I undo the equal contract?"

NO ONE WANTS ME, PLEASE LET ME STAY ILL BE VERY QUIET AND I Won't DISTURB. I pinky promise even though I have no pinky. I do not want to stay in a dark cave for another century.

Not only that, but I even have this space jade it can shape-shift please, I beg you. The egg said, rubbing its eggshell on to cherry blossom's leg.

A space jade can I have it cherry said. Then a jade bracelet with many engravings on it appeared on her wrist.

Whoosh, cherry blossom had left her bedroom.

"So egg, why is the called space Jade"

"Greetings to master the space jade is called space jade because the first master of this jade wanted to give it a mysterious but catchy name"

"Who are you?" cherry blossom asked.

"Master, I am the spirit who lives in the jade welcome should i give you a tour of the space"

"if you are the spirit inside the jade, how did you come out"

" Master, you are currently in the jade I would recommend you cultivate here, so you can also reside here with your physical body"

I must be a magnet that attracts bad luck, first I adopt an egg then troublesome jade.

"Master, if I have offended you in any way, I plead for forgiveness."

"Why would you think that?"

Because you thought of me as a troublesome jade

"You can read my thoughts! Said cherry blossom.

What am I thinking about now?

Nothing.

And now

still nothing

what about now

Apples and cherries

and now

rice and beans

OK, I bet you won't know what about to think!

I am a fool.

"pfft" cherry blossom laughed her heart out then rolled on the floor until she fell asleep

and now she said for last time

what a wonderful dream!
