Chapter 04: Illusion?

last update Last Updated: 2021-07-10 23:22:12

Lillian give a quick chase to Naomi whose silhouette was slowly disappearing.

Naomi stopped when she saw a hanging sign and stared at the place owning that sign which was the library. The sparkle in her eyes was still present and she stared at the library with those sparkles.

She pushed the door which opened and the vintage interior of the library greeted her. The undisguised smell of both new and old books wafted together in the air.

She went to look at the side and spotted something that made her smile. 

"Lisa, something new today?" She walked in front of the library counter.

The librarian, Lisa, have a huge spectacle on her eyes and freckles on her face. Her skin was tan and her hair was brown in colour which is currently tied in a fishtail braid.

She was sitting down while reading a book and when she heard someone speaking to her, she immediately shut the book, stood up, and faced Naomi with a smile on her face.

"Well, yeah. There are new books on the shelves situated in the right corner." Lisa said.

"Alright, got it!" Naomi said and walked in an unhurried manner towards the book shelves. 

Lisa was about to sit down and open the book again when she noticed someone standing right at the door.

It was none other than Lillian, who was chasing Naomi all the way to the library. 

Seeing how run-down and small the appearance of the library on the outside, she thought that Naomi might be fooling her. How could a run-down and small library be nice? 

But since she have seen Naomi entering this library, she decided to follow suit.

'Let me see how nice this library is.' She thought.

When she opened the door of the library, she was surprised.

Her impression about the insides of the library to be run-down and small had disappeared. Inside the library, it didn't seem to be small at all and was rather wide and large with a vast collection of books displayed on numerous shelves. Adding the vintage decorations, it was pleasing to the eyes.

She was in a daze for a while when she remembered why she was there.

Sensing that someone's staring at her, Lillian turned to the direction where the gaze came from. 

Lisa smiled at her when Lillian looked at her with curiousity. Seeing her smile, Lillian walked over and Lisa was able to see Lillian's appearance.

She didn't have Naomi's exquisite beauty and was dressed in a maid's attire. She looked just average. 

'If only she was dressed up like those ladies from noble and wealthy families, although she won't be on par with Naomi's, her beauty would definitely standout in a crowd.' Lisa thought.

Lisa was lost in her thoughts as she stared at Lillian. Her thoughts were unidentifiable. 

Upon seeing that Lisa was staring at Lillian intently, Lillian couldn't help but shudder and lower down her head.

"Uh, is anything the matter?" Lillian asked in a meek voice.

Instead of receiving an accurate answer, the answer she got was a chuckle which confused her.

'What a cute lady.' Lisa thought.

"Nothing. By the way, how may I help you?" Lisa stopped chuckling and said with a smile.

Lillian raised her head and looked around before settling her gaze to Lisa.

"Have you seen a lady enter this library?" 

"You mean Naomi? She's browsing for books." 

"Oh." 

Lillian continued to look around while contemplating if she should go and tail behind Naomi while she was browsing for books but something caught her attention. 

Near the small closed windoe was a table and on top of it was a crystal ball. It attracted her attention and she wanted to touch it but fearing that the girl standing in the library counter might get furious if she was to touch it, she just stared at it and admired it silently.

As if she was able to read the other party's thoughts, Lisa gave her approval.

"If you want to touch it, go on."

Lillian turned to look at her. She revealed a faint smile and nodded at Lisa.

She went to the table and observed the crystal ball that was on top of it. After a while of observation, she placed her right hand on top of it.

The insides of the crystal ball glowed and it emmited a color of a purple chalcedony. Instead of the uncomfortable feeling produced by the blinding light coming from the crystal ball, she felt comfortable and relaxed all over and the tiredness she felt earlier was gone in an instant. 

Lillian was amused by the sudden occurence and as the light coming from the crystal ball made her feel comfortable, she played with it for a while.

As her eyes were glued on Lillian, she also saw what happened and was amused as well.

Fixing her gaze at the crystal ball which was under Lillian's right hand, a glint flashed through her eyes and she sank into deep thoughts. A strange expression appeared on her face and nobody could guess what she was thinking. 

Lillian, who was enjoying the comfortable and relaxing feeling the crystal ball gave, became confused.

'As far as I know, crystal balls should only be able to produce the colors of clear quartz, citrine yellow, tiger eye, black obsidian, amethyst purple, rose quartz pink, red, and green aventurine and aside from the colors, nothing else should happen. Why does this one did not only produce such different color but also gives off a comfortable feeling?' She thought curiously.

There are countless ideas and possibilities that flashed into her mind and just like Lisa, she fell into a deep thought.

She gazed into the crystal ball that still glowed and was under her right hand. 

She thought for a while until she came into a conclusion and her eyes widened. She quickly removed her hand at the crystal ball and stared at it like it was a monster with her eyes wide open and there was fear in her eyes.

'This should be a valuable treasure!'

    'Could it be a treasure?'With this possibility in her mind, she felt fearful towards the crystal ball.The thought of playing with it for a long time vanished in her mind. God knows how much a treasure is worth, be it a common, uncommon, or rare treasure and it is not something an ordinary person like me could afford.'Even if I save my lifetime salary, I can't fork out even half of a treasure's price...'Thinking back to her actions, Lillian's heart bled.'Good thing that I didn't damaged it even for a bit.'

    Naomi crouched while hugging her knees, staring into the crystal clear glass shards with an emotionless face.Some crystal shards were scattered in the floor. Naomi picked a few and then threw it into the wall while still crouching.'What should I do?'Thinking of the circumstances she was in, Naomi wanted nothing more than to weep.'I never wanted to be transmigrated in an unknown world! If I did, atleast give me something that can help me!'Naomi was sullen and continued to pick and throw crystal shards as she remained silent and went deep into thoughts. Only the sound of crystal shards being thrown could be heard.This scenario continued for a while.Heaving a sigh, Naomi stopped and stood up, shaking the dirt off her snowy white clothes."I can't keep staying here and do nothing." She muttered to herself.'Okay. I need to get out of here.'She stared at the surroundings once again until her e

    The dead branches and leaves that had fallen into the ground created a crisp sound as someone walked and happened to step on them.As Naomi walked forward, she kept looking around the area she passed by. Whether she walked into the right path that can lead her out of the forest, she wasn't sure about it herself.When she went out of the place she came from, on which she knew that it was a huge cave when she glanced at it from the outside, she just started to walk in the opposite direction of the cave and continued to walk forward.There was once a time where she thought that she had gone far away from the cave but when she looked back, she could still see the opening of the cave.Naomi continued to walk forward, venturing deeper into the forest. Looking around, she noticed that aside from the lush greenery and herself, the only beings that accompanied her were birds chirping as they fly away into the sky or stop by in some trees and there was still

It laid into the ground without making any moves.Naomi was still frightened with the sudden appearance of the big black wolf and how it attempted to kill her, its eyes appeared as if it can't wait to eat its food.She stood still, looking at the big black wolf, who was lying in the ground with its own pool of blood, with a frightened expression.She couldn't help but think, 'What if it succeeded?' Naomi couldn't continue to venture deeper in that thought."Are you okay?"The sound of the dead branches and fallen leaves being stepped upon sounded on which reached Naomi's ears.Naomi, with the same frightened expression she displayed on her face when she saw the wolf was going to pounce on her, looked up only to see a young man, who doesn't look like to be much older than her, approaching her.He was tall but fairly skinny.

    "So, how do beasts improve their cultivation?" Naomi asked.As Lucas patiently explained things regarding beasts and cultivation, Naomi listened attentively."Just like us, they gather the spiritual energy in the surroundings and absorb them. It may sound easy but doing it is pretty hard. Some beasts and people, commonly those with poor innate talent, even took several years just to take their first step in the cultivation realm. Things with spiritual energy should help them as well."'That should be hard...' Naomi thought.A cold glint flashed through Lucas' eyes. It was gone in a blink of an eye that no one would be able to notice it."There is a much more easier way for humans and beasts to improve their cultivation." Lucas said.Naomi became curious, "what is it?""The wolf's beast core I showed you earlier was silver, wasn't it?"Naomi nodded."Some humans and beasts would kill other beasts who are of higher c

    Occasionally raising her head to look at the sky, Naomi saw how the smoke up in the sky was getting larger than it was from when she first saw it as she was getting near the smoke's direction.Lucas was also following behind her. It was a good thing that Naomi wasn't a fast runner that he was able to cope up with her speed without making much of an effort. As they were in a forest, when Naomi was rushing forward, there were countless trees in her path although their leaves weren't really covering the sky which helped Naomi rush forward easily."Just a few steps and we'll be out of this forest!" Naomi said.Lucas couldn't help but shake his head with her attitude.Stepping into the wide dirt road, Naomi found herself to be finally out of the forest. She heaved a sigh as a slight smile appeared on her face. Lucas stood besides her and felt relieved to be finally out of that forest."Look!"Lucas turned to lo

    The chilly breeze passed by the forest, making the leaves of the trees sway in response. The sun that was up above the sky was nowhere to be found.It was evening.The surroundings was still quiet but compared to the silence earlier morning until afternoon, it was much more quieter after the sun had set.Aside from the noise coming from the bonfire, it was too quiet that Naomi had become scared. Adding to the fact that they're in the middle of nowhere where aside from them, there weren't any people around that can be seen. This fact even made her become more scared.Not even her nor her two companions were speaking.Yes, two. There are three of them currently present."Good. It's finally cooked." The sound of Lucas' voice reached her ears.It was only then that Naomi smelled the rich aroma of the grilled fish Lucas had cooked. The fish could be said to be medium-sized. She was too occupied with fear that she fa

    "Ah?"Naomi was dumbfounded by his words. When she realized what was recently said to her, she became agitated."What do you mean by "I am blocking the way"?! It was you who bumped into me and as you can see, this isn't the only way since the road is wide enough for you or for another person to pass!!!" Naomi exclaimed while looking at the person opposite her with an angry expression and her chest, which was originally calm and steady, was now rising up and down fastly as she was panting and gasping for air.Still not satisfied with what she have just said, she went on to complain."I admit that you're handsome indeed, that you're like a perfect man. However, no matter how perfect you look, it still can't change the fact that you're dumb and and blind!!!"With all of that said, Naomi felt much better and a faint smile appeared on her face as she continued to look at the other party while feeling glorious. However, as she was basking under

    Receiving the three skewered shiny tanghulus, just like what the stall owner did, she received them kindly. She took a look at them with the eyes of a glutton for a while before looking back at the stall owner."Oh, right. Uncle, can I ask you for a question?" Naomi said as she held two of the three skewered tanghulus in her left hand while she held the remaining one in her right hand."Sure, what is it?""It's like this. Isn't it there a night market here in Arkin Kingdom that is held every Friday evening in the plaza? Me and my companions are looking for something and since a lot of merchants from inside and outside the kingdom are going to sell their stuff during the night market, we're planning to go and take a look in the said night market yet we don't know the way towards the plaza. Do you know where it is?" Naomi said their purpose of coming into the marketplace on the evening and asked what she and the siblings were planning to ask."Oh, t

    After that night's conversation, there wasn't a lot of occurence in the next few days. Time quietly passed by and soon enough, it was already Friday.A group of three appeared in the stairs of Central Inn. As they stepped down the lively first floor of the said inn, some eyes went their way though majority of them only stared for a while before continuing in what they were doing."Do you know where the night market is?" Naomi asked Lisa who was standing beside her."It should be in the plaza." Lisa answered as she observed the people around them."Then do you know where the plaza is?" As soon as she heard Lisa's answer, Naomi continued to ask.Instead of answering Naomi's question with "yes" or "no", she just looked at her and flashed a sweet smile which confused Naomi. She saw Lisa walk towards the reception which confused her even more.When Lisa opened her mouth to speak, she was speechless."Do you know where the pla

    ''So... what did you get today?''Back at the inn, the group of three people were staying inside the same room. Lucas, the only guy of the three of them, was sitting by the window while the other two, Naomi and Lisa, were sitting face to face in the only two chairs of the room.Hearing the question, Lisa, who had just gotten back at the inn from the library, waved her hand and miracurously, a book appeared from thin air. Grabbing the book, she placed it in the table in front the both of them.When Naomi saw how a book appeared from thin air when Lisa waved her hand, she was shocked and surprised. She looked at Lisa with curious gaze on which the latter noticed.''The book didn't just appear from thin air, it's more like I summoned it or took it out.'' Lisa explained.Hearing her words, Naomi looked at her with doubt.''Took it out? Aside from waving your hand

Do you mind going out with me?"Instead of receiving a response from Austin regarding their topic, the response Naomi had received was different.Naomi was stunned and upon coming into a realizatin about what Austin have said, her face reddened out of embarrasment.It can't be helped. The people, who was of the same status as her, back in her hometown, Florence, wouldn't say things like these and were restrained. As for the common people living in her hometown, she doesn't have any ideas about how they act as she rarely engage with them.Flustered, she threw her hands as if she was trying to shoo the other party away and several spiritual energy rushed out unconsciously. If it was a normal person faced with this kind of action, they wouldn't notice anything from it.

    The pair had walked quite far from the park and the both of them were holding hands while there was food in their available hands. Suddenly, Naomi thought of something. "We have been together for a while now yet you haven't told me your name. What's your name?" Naomi asked as she took a bite from the food she was holding with her left hand which turned out to be a crepe. "Big sister can call me Sophia." The little girl who was holding her hand, Sophia, answered her. A crepe was also present at her right hand. "Sophia? That's a nice name." Sophia looked up at Naomi and showed a sweet smile on which Naomi reciprocated. "Big sister, where are we going next?" Sophia asked. Ever since the both of them got along from the food stall in the park, Sophia was continuously addressing her as Big Sister. Nao

    "How much is this?""It's 5 copper coins for three pieces.""Then I'll take it!""Please wait for a minute."Naomi stood in front of a stall while waiting with anticipation. The owner of the stall skewered three candied fruits that looked glossy in a stick and when he saw Naomi's gaze full of anticipation—who also looked like drooling—he can't help but chuckle as he added two more of those candied fruits."Here, take it. The extra two pieces are for free." The stall owner said as he handed the stick over to Naomi.Naomi received it happily."Thank you, uncle!" She thanked the stall owner politely before leaving.It was not a good idea for her to stay in front of the stall any longer since there were also several people who were lining behind her and staying there might only cause some inc

During the past few days, she fell in love with cultivating that aside from eating and sleeping, she devoted majority of her time into cultivating.In the past few days, Lisa have teached her some stuff about cultivating that she still doesn't know like the blue strange ball that was residing in her body.

Whenever a cultivator breakthrough and reach another tier of cultivation, that cultivator's dantian would expand as well.
