595: Body Fortification Realm Part 1

Body Fortification Realm Part 1

Elder Ning looked over at Elder Di and nodded his head. "Then I will leave that to you. Alright, since everything is settled. Little Tan, you will come with me. Have the girls settle Little Kana in and get her some daily things. You can use these spirit stones here. "2

"Thank you, Elder Ning." Yi Tan cupped his hands and bowed.

"Yes, thank you very much, Elder Ning, Elder Di" Kana also bowed her head. She was truly grateful towards the two elders for their willingness to help her. Such acts she would always keep to heart.

"Haha! Little Kana, I will be expecting good things from you in the future." Elder Ning replied. His old face wrinkled as she smiled.

"Shi Yu, you and the girls take Kana to the courtyard closest to the sect. Get her what she needs, then begin teaching her how to enter the body fortification realm. I will turn in our mission and speak with Elder Ning." Yi Tan handed over the bag of spirit stones to Shi Yu before giving some directions.

After Kana and the girls left, Elder Ning's smiling face turned cold as he grabbed Yi Tan and flew into the academy towards his peak without a word. It was only when they arrived at a small hut within a bamboo forest that Elder Ning finally spoke again. "All four are dead?"

"Yes, all four are dead, and as for the girls… they were either already in bad shape or dead. I helped end the pain of those who were..." Yi Tan gritted his teeth. He wished for all demonic cultivators to die.

"It's fine. I understand. As for the little girl. How did you meet?" Elder Ning asked.

"She appeared when I was roasting meat with the others. She showed no hostility right from the start, and when we were fighting the demonic cultivators, she was extremely protective of Mei Ling." Yi Tan replied. He knew Elder Ning would end up asking about Kana. Elder Ning was one of the top elders in the sect, so it was a given that he would question Kana's origins.

"Hmm..." Elder Ning fell into deep thought. "From what I can tell, she does not seem like a threat. If you said she was protecting Little Mei, then that means she has a good heart. Watch over her. Whether she will be a disaster or a blessing to the sect is up to how she will act in the future. I will talk with the sect master and let him know what is going on. With such a spirit root, it is possible to allow her to join the sect right away. But…. Because we do not know her origins and because she is a spirit beast, we will need to watch over her for this next year. If she is still acting the same way, then we can let her take the entrance test. But to show goodwill, we will nurture her and watch her at the same time."

"I will report anything strange if I see it." Yi Tan did not think Kana would turn out to be scheming, but he would still keep an eye on her for Elder Ning since he was a man who has helped him greatly. The others did not know that Elder Ning was the reason he was actually able to buy the few courtyards he had in the city. Otherwise, without any backing, he would never have been able to do it. Elder Ning was someone who liked helping those who worked hard. When he found out that Yi Tan was barely eating because he was saving up his spirit stones to get a courtyard for his siblings, he went right out and bought a few. Thanks to that, he was able to send for Shi Yu and the rest to bring them to the city so they could begin their path of cultivation.

"This city is not bad," Kana said as she walked the streets. Before, on the way through, she did not get to see much, but now she was able to see everything. The buildings were made of stone and wood with clay shingles on the roof. No building was more than three stories tall, but the ancient feeling one got from them was heavy in the air. At least for Kana anyway.

"It has been around for many thousands of years since the establishment of the Moon Crest Academy. Without the sect being here, no city would have ever formed at the base of this mountain. " Shi Yu explained.

Kana nodded at this. Cities normally sprang up in places of interest such as waterways and other locations with important resources. As this was a world of cultivation, it was natural for a city to spring up near a place where one can come to cultivate. Because of Kana's body features, Shi Yu could not just buy any old set of robes for her. She brought Kana to a tailor and had them do measurements on her. "You can pick this up tomorrow. I will have ten sets ready by then." The tailor said with a smile.

With that settled, the girls headed to the courtyard a few streets away. When Kana arrived, she saw that the courtyard was indeed small, just a small building surrounded by a tall wall and a moon gate in the front. But there was plenty of space for her. It gave off a very relaxed feeling. "This courtyard is equipped with a sound cancellation array and a protection array. You can set the protection array by putting a spirit stone into its core after we register you to it." 

Kana nodded and felt this was very good. She figured since she would need to do this cultivate thing, she would need peace and quiet. "Oh, you're here already! Good!" A voice came from behind the girls. When they turned around they saw Elder Di landed in the courtyard. "Elder Ning wanted me to set up a spirit condensing array. Although I can only do a level two array it should be good for a single person."
