Chapter 76: Virtual World, Academy Area.
Athan and Tiana were sitting crossed-legged next to each other for meditation.
" Athan, You also have that white-gold energy inside you right? Do you know its uses? "
" Nope. It\'s something that is produced from my body when we have intercourses so.." Athan adopted a thought full expression and said, " It seems like we are dual cultivating something and that something is the white-gold energy but I still don\'t know anything besides what it did to you."
Tiana was also thinking about it and nodded when she heard Athan, " Yeah, It\'s safe to assume that at least the white-gold energy has healing properties that are beyond the scope of just physical wounds as it restored my Energy Sea along with the injuries I suffered after eating those petals. "
Athan nodded and said, " Let it stay inside you, It might help in dangerous moments. "
Suddenly, Lucky the little kitten who was sleeping inside Athan\'s Mystic Realm woke up and appeared outside.
*meoww....*
Athan was not startled as he felt its movement but Tiana was startled for a second before she smiled and said, " So you finally woke, Why were you sleeping for so long? "
*Meow..Meowwwww*
Lucky seems to be using mystic energy as it floated itself before sitting on Athan\'s shoulder.
Athan gently scratched the area under its head and neck as he felt the soft fur.
*purrrr....*
After purring twice, It meowed once towards Athan while indicating something with its paw before disappearing.
Athan looked inside his Mystic Realm and saw that lucky was pointing at the white-gold energy that was floating beside the black whirlpool.
*Meowww....Meoww.*
" You want that energy? "
Hearing the question, Lucky nodded its cute head. *meoww*
Although Athan was surprised, He didn\'t reject it and brought all the white-gold energy which was enough to fill up a normal-sized cup to the little kitten.
Seeing what Athan did, Lucky jumped up in joy before starting to eat the energy.
After two minutes, It finished eating the white-gold energy and once again fell asleep.
Athan was very curious as to why Lucky requested to eat the white-gold energy and how would it help it.
\' Guess I\'ll get answers when it wakes up next time. \' Thinking about it, he left Mystic Realm and said to Tiana after looking at his Digiband.
" The missions and main tests will be revealed after an hour, Until then let\'s visit the Virtual World. "
Tiana nodded and put up two layers of Outbursts nodes barrier around them with the gap between them so they both won\'t explode and then Athan conjured three golems outside the barriers to stand as guards.
" Let\'s enter. "
...
...
Both of them arrived at a huge plaza as lots of people were appearing and disappearing.
A lot of roads were connected to the plaza with big signboards floating on top of them. For instance, Guild Area, Public Market, Academy Stores, Transportation Center, etc.
There were many such signboards but Athan and Tiana first decided to visit Public Market.
After walking on the road towards Public Market, lots of big and small stalls appeared, They were run by the students who seemed to be selling various kinds of things.
Suddenly, Someone approached Athan and Tiana. He looked to be around 20 years old with a Yellow hairstyle and a slim build.
" Hello, My name is Yegan. You both are new students, right? "
Athan answered with a nod which prompted a clap from Yegan as he spoke with a laugh, " Haha great, I am sure you two must need a lot of things for your training, I was just going to open my stall so I might as well open here and start with you two. "
He then touched his Digiband and after a few seconds, A 3 square metre stall appeared behind him which already had quite a few items laying on it.
Athan and Tiana were surprised upon seeing what just happened.
Yegen then walked behind his stall and said with a smile, " Come and take a look. If you find anything of your liking then you can buy it with credit points. "
Athan and Tiana went forward and looked at the items on the stall.
At this time, Yegan spoke, " What planes are you two in? Origin Intent Plane or Genesis conceptual Plane? or ...?
" Origin Intent Plane. "
After hearing the answer from Athan, Yegan thought for a moment and said with a smile, " I see, Then I guess you might need things like body refining manuals, Affinity pills, and Relaxing Incense.
" Relaxing Incense ?"
Yegan nodded and said, " Yep Relaxing Incense, It can help you get into deep meditation and clear your mind so you can focus on comprehending the intent. " Saying this, He picked out a few scrolls and square boxes before showing them to Athan and Tiana.
" You can take a look at these items. In my Stash, Only these items are useful for Origin Intent Plane students like you. "
Athan was surprised hearing him and asked, " What Plane are you in? "
Yegan smiled and said, " I am in Genesis Conceptual Plane. " after answering, He advised them, " Also, be sure to follow the proper way to progress in Origin Intent Plane. "
Both of them nodded and started looking through the items given to them by Yegan.
There were body refining manuals, Flowing Spells, Flowing Methods and inside the Boxes were colourful fruits.
Pointing at the fruits, Athan asked, " What are the uses of these fruits? "
Yegan looked at them and said, " These fruits are like Intent Plates and Slates which I\'m sure you\'ve already seen, If you eat them then you might be able to comprehend intent but in the end, it all depends on your efforts as there are countless cases where people can\'t progress for many years in their intents. You might have comprehended an Intent after eating fruit but you will need to rely on your comprehending ability to progress after that. "
Taking a breath, He wryly smiled and said, " If you can\'t reach Master level in Intents then it\'s all useless and reaching master level is hard, At least that was hard for me, But despite reaching Master Level in 4 Elemental Intents and 2 Mystic Intents by following a preceder\'s build, I failed to fuse my Intents and realize the concept that I was aiming for in time, so I had to settle for a less powerful one. "
Athan and Tiana were confused about hearing some new terms but He caught a crucial point and asked, " Why did you say you fail in time? Is there a time limit? "
Yegan was confused at first but then he realized and said with a smile, " Looks like you haven\'t received your Main tests yet. The Main tests are about your progression, They will give you some years of time limit for you to Master your intents and ready to breakthrough to Genesis Conceptual Plane and if you fail then you will have to leave This Academy and transferred to some organization under this academy. "
" You two also, Don\'t aim too high because if you fail to pass the main test then you won\'t be able to enjoy countless benefits this academy gives you which you will find out gradually. Anyway, After I passed the main test, I got stay here and now I can continue to Aim high because of this Academy but if you fail then you will have to leave which will severally reduce the rate of your progression."
" I see..." Athan nodded with a thoughtful expression before he smiled towards Yegan and said, " Thanks a lot for this information. "
Waving his hand, Yegan spoke, " Don\'t worry about it. Anyway, have you decided what do you want to buy? "
" Yeah, The only useful thing for us here is this Ice refining Body manual. How much credit points is that? "
Hearing Athan\'s words, Yegan said, " That cost 8 Credit points. "
Athan nodded and paid 8 credits as the manual was transferred to the storage of his Digiwatch.
The items in this Virtual World were obviously digital copies but You can transfer things from a Digiband to another Digiband using the Transfer function which shows after Athan looked into the Credit Points option.
After the deal was done, Athan asked, " By the way, Do you know any type of animal that can enter one\'s Mystic Realm and eat mystic energy? "
Yegan was surprised and instead of answering, He asked, " Don\'t tell me you got such animal during your Examination? "
Seeing Athan nodding his head, Yegan exclaimed and said with envy, " Damn, Every 100 years there are a few lucky ones who receive Mystic Beast and it seems that you were one of the lucky ones this time. "
Calming himself down, Yegan said to them, " Mystic Beasts are creatures that are only born in Superior Sectors. If you want to buy one from Academy Stores, then do you know how much credit points you need? "
\' Obviously, I don\'t know \' Thinking this, Athan and Tiana shook their heads.
" The Price of Mystic Beasts starts from 5000 credit points and you got one such beast already sigh...." Shaking his head, He continued with a wry smile, " You will know it\'s usefulness later, Be sure to feed it Mystic Energy as you have to mature them first. "
Afterward, Athan and Tiana started to stroll the Public Market.
...
After some time of strolling, A beep sound came from both Athan\'s and Tiana\'s Digiband as they heard a voice inside their head.
