Amyra

Chapter 9 Part 1

I cleaned his body not taking off his clothes with a rag and water, removing all the blood. I gave him some more pure water to drink as he lost alot of blood and left some food beside him.

"Now all I have to do is wait", Amyra said as she closed her eyes to take a quick nap. After an hour Amyra woke up to see that the man was still sleeping. 'What to do?', Amyra thought, ' I can't exactly leave him here alone'. 'The beasts might attack him or another cultivator can kill him. Seeing his condition before they might have a grudge against him, whoever it was that made him like this'

Amyra began to deep in thought, then she noticed her surroundings...The cave was full of wild flowers of different kinds some of which were of no use to cultivators.

'Little Ball, what level is divine light and heal at right now?'

'Ding! Skill: Heal is at max level, as well as, skill:  Light'

'Combine those two skills'

'Ding! Skill: Light of Healing lv 1 Created'

'Use that and see if it will affect these plants growing here'

A bright yellow light glowed around Amyra's fingertips and spread around her surroundings in the cave at a speed invisible to the naked eye, engulfing all the flowers. All the flowers began to glow in that light until the light faded revealing their new forms..

'Ding! All species in the cave evolved into 'light protection species'

'No beasts can no longer enter this cave or any cultivator with ill intent'

"That's good"

'Ding! Special Skill: Gardener acquired, as well as, the title: Protector of flowers'

'Title: Protector of flowers: enhances flowers and oneself by 50%, especially in areas where a lot is growing. Stats enhanced includes special skill: Gardener and divine light. SP also increases by 10% every minute spent in presence of such species'

"OP much", Amyra said as she closed the stat window. ' The Sp feature isn't of any use though. Infinity multiplied by anything is still infinity'

'He should be safe now time to go'

Amyra exited the cave after leaving some food beside the man. Winter was still guarding the entrance, "Thank you Winter". Going into the system Amyra looked for something suitable for his cultivation and pulled out 10,000-year-old ice ginseng and fire resistance high leveled potion.

"Here this is for helping me guard the entrance"

Winter's eyes widened upon seeing her gifts but accepted them only after Amyra managed to convince him that it was ok to take them. "Thank you! I won't disappoint you Protector Amyra!", he exclaimed happily upon receiving them, "Just call me Amyra for now", Amyra said smiling, happy that winter liked his presents.

"Let's go before he wakes up", Amyra informed Winter as she immediately activated lightning step afterward, running alongside Winter at his pace until they eventually reached the edge of the forest. "Goodbye, Amyra!", Winter shouted at the edge of the forest as she walked out, "Don't go into the other forests like this again, the guardians and cultivators might get the wrong ideas!", he shouted, as she waved back to him in reply walking towards the city about a mile or so from the forest.

"Now I have to cultivate this Ice ginseng that goddess Amyra gave me"

Upon reaching the edges of the city Amyra noticed a merchant caravan being surrounded by a group of low-leveled monsters. 'No cultivators with them? No mages either?', Amyra thought as she used clairvoyance to look at their group from afar.  'I will help them out a bit'

'Activated Judges intent', Amyra told Little Ball, as she aimed it directly at the monsters, who then looked in her direction and almost lost themselves in fear, hurriedly escaping into the forest. ' At least they are smart', Amyra thought as she deactivated the skill before making her way through the city gates.

" Hi! I am a level 20 cultivator, can i get a pass into this city?", Amyra asked the city guards stationed there remembering her past experience with them. "Sure, madam", he answered, "Right this way", they said leading her to a stone. "Please put your hand on this indent. Sorry, but we have to ensure that you are actually a cultivator", one guard explained, "a lot of false claims these days. People just want a freebie into the city without paying the entrance fees". It's ok I understand", Amyra answered placing her hand on the stone which gradually glowed from yellow to bright green after a while. " A level 20 cultivator!", the guards exclaimed upon seeing what she said was really true, "How old are you?", one asked. " I am 18", Amyra answered indifferently.

"You are a genius! To have reached this level at such a young age!", the guard exclaimed drawing the other guard's attention. "Really??!", Amyra answered surprised at this. 'How would they react if they knew my real cultivation?!', Amyra thought. "Please lower your voice. I don't want to attract everyone's attention", Amyra whispers yelling at them. "Sorry", they replied heeding her response, "All level 20 cultivators, especially a genius like you are welcomed into the city. Here.", the guard said handing her a golden pass directly. "Thank you", Amyra said as she left, "Enjoy your stay miss!", the guards shouted back respectfully. "Thanks", Amyra replied as she hurried off not wanting any more attention.

'Little Ball, how much money do I have left in my space, I forgot to count them while I was in the last city'

'Ding! You have 300 million gold coins, 4 million silver, and 30,000 copper coins'

'That's still a lot! but how much are they really worth?'

'Let's explore more to learn more about the cost of things, I think I might have wrongly decided that gold coins were normal', Amyra thought as she walked around the markets in the city, after a while...

'Gold coins are not normal!!, Amyra screamed in her head as she walked around the fifth market and didn't see any exchanges of gold coins. 'What did I do in that city?! It's no wonder why the receptionist and the waitress looked at me weirdly'

Amyra decided to continue walking through the markets to try and familiarise herself with the world's currency and culture, as she was lacking some common sense; which might cause unnecessary problems. The most expensive things that she saw so far were sold for about 10 coppers and it was a piece of ordinary-looking jewelry. She continued to walk around the markets occasionally buying some food and snacks that they were selling; some of which were similar to the ones sold on earth like burgers and crepes. It also had a few restaurants lined up on the sides of the streets outside the markets, which looked very popular by the long lines of people lined up outside them waiting to dine.

The technology there was pretty advanced to as occasionally, Amyra would see flying magic or machine-powered aircraft, some of which flew so fast that they left a stream of clouds behind them high up in the sky. A few cultivators on flying swords also passed by every now and then causing some to look up but soon after they got back to work. 

'I guess seeing cultivators here is not that strange; that's good I wouldn't have to worry'

Amyra eventually stopped at a blacksmith shop that she found as she wandered through an alleyway, as she was exploring the town. 'This looks interesting', Amyra thought upon noticing a rear and white light emitting from the armor on the sign above the door. "Blessing, interesting name for a blacksmith shop", Amyra said as she entered through the shop doors. The sounds of smitting could be heard all throughout the shop. As she stepped in, the sounds stopped and a short dwarven blacksmith with a long, gray beard emerged from the door at the back of the shop.

"How can I help you, madam?", he asked looking at her, "Cultivator?"

"Yes, how did you know?", Amyra asked surprised, suspiciously looking at the blacksmith.
