Commander, stop staring at me!

Chapter 12: Exploring the Spiritual Space

Tiara woke up from her sleep. When she checked the time, it was only 2 in the morning. She noticed that she's already in her room, and she is wearing her pajamas. She didn't delve with it as she is sure that her family is the one who sent her here and tidied her up.

She doesn't feel that she can still sleep more, then she remembered her spiritual space. Time to explore it.

"I want to go in"

In an instant, Tiara is now standing in front of the spring. According to Shitou, this spring can cure physical and spiritual fatigue, although she wants to try using it now, she still stopped herself. There is still a long time for her to explore that one.

What she really wants to know here is if there are vegetables or fruits that she can plant. She hasn't tried searching in the starnet yet if there are plants that she can use for cooking, that would be her plan b for the meantime.

She entered the house where she met Shitou before. According to Shitou, he left his books and seeds to her, she doesn't care about the books right now, she just wants to see the seeds.

The first time she went here, she didn't have a time to see the whole place, now looking here, the structure of the house really looks like that of the ancient dramas she watch before. There is a small receiving area with wooden couch and tables. There are also three doors, one on the left, one on the right, and one in the middle.

She checked the right door first. There she a library, full of ancient texts. She doesn't know why, but she can read all of those texts even though she's sure she doesn't know how to read those before.

The whole library is sorted according to cultivation, medicine and food. She doesn't know that a stone can also eat.

Shitou: Cut it! I wasn't a stone before!

She then proceed in the middle door, this one should be the kitchen, as she saw several pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, it's just, where's the stove? Then she saw on the corner a circular stone, with a size of a regular plate that had three small egg like stones on top of it. She tried to lift it up and she found out that it is heavier than what it looks like. She knew that this should be the stove, and it uses spiritual energy rather than woods to make it work. She'll go back to that later.

Now, she went inside the last door. There she saw 10 shelves. She checked each shelf and found out that the first three shelves contain medicines and pills for cultivation. The next three shelves contain a lot of medicinal plants that are said to be rare in the blue star, and the last four shelves contain various seeds.

What surprised Tiara was not the abundance of the things here but the fact that she can recognize all the things here.

' I won't give anymore information, exploring is more fun than listening.' that's what Shitou said before leaving so she was expecting that she will need some time to grope around here. Maybe Shitou knew that her knowledge when it comes to plant is almost non existent that's why he also left her some of his knowledge to understand this place more?

Tiara's conclusion is somehow correct. This space can be said as Shitou's child so how can it just leave it as it is? So before leaving, he left some of his consciousness to Tiara to make sure that she will know how to use the things inside the space.

Tiara took tomato, cucumber, cabbage, chilli, onion, and garlic seeds and put them in the empty wooden basket. Next she took three apple, pears, and orange seeds which she plans to plant at the edge of the field.

After gathering the materials she needed, she went to the left side of the west side of the space where she saw the darkest soil she saw in her life.

The soil seems to be in perfect condition that she doesn't need to hoe it. Just sprinkle the seeds, water it, then leave it alone. Tiara just made a small ditch on each plot so that the vegetables won't be mixed together, she still wants her space to be pleasing to her eyes.

Due to the limited area of planting, Tiara can only plant those vegetables. Now she went at the edge of the field to plant her fruit trees, leaving a 2 meter distance on each sides to make sure that they will grow healthy.

After dealing with the with the field, Tiara went back to the storage room to put back the things she used. She was about to leave the room when a certain bottle caught her attention.

Marrow Cleansing pills, this pill is used to remove impurities inside the bone. Through the course of time, a cultivator can have impurities due to taking cultivation pills, being exposed to miasma or any other unruly energy which makes the energy go berserk. Using marrow cleansing pills at a regular interval helps to remove impurities and strengthen the bones.

Knowing the use of this pill made Tiara remember a certain prince, it's not like they will see each other again, but just in case, she will give him some of these when they meet. She just needs to make sure that it's really working.

She took the bottle and went towards the spring. She already knew the process of this cleansing thing, based on the novels she read before coming her, which female lead in xianxia novel didn't have that murky thing out of her body when she cleansed? Tsk, tsk

She drank one pill and then waited, about five minutes later, she still doesn't feel anything. Maybe the pills expired already? Then suddenly, she felt crushing pain inside her body. It feels like her whole body is being hollowed out. She fell on the ground and roll to distract herself. Her bones feel like they are being disconnected and reconnected repeatedly. Nima, what the f**k did she do? She thought it would just feel like having dismenorria, what does it feel like it's grinding every inch of her body?

She didn't know how long it took until the pain subsided. She almost passed out due to the pain, but there's a voice inside her that seems to say not to pass out, so she gritted her teeth until the end.

Tiara still feels weak after the ordeal but she's all dirty because, as she expected, there's a lot of unsightly impurities sticking on her body now. She still can't bring herself to stand up, so she just crawled towards the spring.

True to what Shitou said, when her body entered the spring, she felt that the pain and fatigue were gone.

After washing all the mud off her body, Tiara was somewhat disgusted with her spring, but when she noticed that the spring kept gurgling and there's no change of color on the water, she relaxed.

She took a minute to take some clothes from her room then went back to her space to read the books in the library.

Although she have read how cultivation works in this time and space, she haven't tried it yet, and she feels that the cultivation methods that Shitou left are much beneficial to her compared to the ones she read outside.

After finding what she thinks is appropriate for her, she went to the pavilion outside and followed the instructions given.

Speaking of the pavilion, she noticed that it is in a form of hexagram that has six poles that hold the roof. In the middle of the hexagram is circle which is the place where cultivator should sit to cultivate.

She sat cross-legged in the middle of the pavilion and followed the book's guidance.

Close your eyes, breathe in, breathe out. Be one with nature, as you came from it. Let it decide what needs to come to you. Let it flow towards you, to find its resting place, and once you need it, summon it with respect, as you give it back to the nature.

Tiara felt all the spiritual energy are rushing towards her. She was planning to just cultivate two elements for now, but those tiny little things, just can't wait to to get inside her body! Forget it, according to the book, let the nature decide.

She absorb the energy until she saw that her body is already full. When she opened her eyes, she summoned the energies on her palm.

Six energies with different colors are now dancing on her palm, as if they are very happy that they summoned. She feels that she's a magician now.

Tiara understands that because she can use all the elements, it will be harder for her to level up. The higher the level, the stronger the force when the element is used. Unlike the majority of the people here who only have 1 element that they can always summon which gives them faster time to level up their hitting power, she needs to summon six. Anyway, there should be some flaws for her or else, she would feel that she's really going against the skies
