Magic Cultivation

Chapter 48: Starter village

Flora then used her magic to scan the area for a while and got back to Nyx with a complexed expression.

"...Master..." Flora slowly said to me.

"Uhhm... what's the matter..?" I didn't know how to react or properly talk to them because I was never good at it when it comes to beautiful girls.

"It seems you are quite lucky master, and it also seems you also have quite a bit of bad... bad luck..." Flora hesitated to talk for a moment and got her head downward fearing that Nyx might hate her.

"It's alright, don't be afraid and tell me what seems to be the problem here..?" I wanted to pat Flora's head but she was taller than me considering my body of a five year old.

"Uhmm..." Flora looked at the orange haired girl and the orange haired girl nodded back to her.

"Master, it seems this whole mountain... no, this whole plateau is made out of the rare iron that is hard to find even in the City of Iron the Kingdom of Pride..!" Flora then looked at me with a fascinated look on her face.

And then continued.

"Master, this type of Iron is actually a type of hard rock and when it is heated beyond it's melting point then it will harden and it's impurities will be driven out and the stone particles will be separated from the pure Mithril Iron ore..! this process can take even a master level blacksmith a day to make a fist size Mithril showing just how hard it is!" Flora then as if boasted this type of iron to me and looked like a child showing her father a special thing for the first time.

'A mithril huh..? I guess this is really an isekai, because back in the ten thousand immortal worlds there is no such iron only special jades or earthly treasures but this might answer the question how it quickly drained my mana away from me... urgh, but with this I can maybe make a much stronger palace than I imagined..?!'

"Hmm... Mithril huh..? I also read that this type of metal is actually stronger than the legendary Adamantite..! But it's a shame that it can't be enchanted like Adamantite, which makes it only a second option..." I pondered for a while before talking to Flora and noticed that the problem might be at how much mana it'll take us to make a small palace.

'But... I already had a plan for that, I have so much mana recovery pills that can recover thirty to fifty percent of ones own mana..!'

"Hmm... so you are worried about the mana consumption and the time it'll take, but don't worry I already thought of this and will tell you a little secret about the cultivation world..!"

"Master... have you already thought of a plan..? and this includes the cultivation you are saying? I might not know what your wise words means master... but this servant is willing to see it with her own eyes..!"

"Hmm... it's somewhat related to cultivation, so don't worry I'll help you build a small palace here but... how are we exactly going to create one..?" I looked at flora with a confused faced as I didn't really know how to make a palace in the first place even back in the ten thousand immortal worlds I only lived in some secluded cave and made stone rooms that is pretty trendy back in the ten thousand immortal worlds

But here, they are all just mortals and didn't know that earth exudes heaven and earth QI that is useful for cultivation.

"Hehe, master needn't worry about that... magic is a kind of energy that a person can use to utilize it however she wants but it doesn't means that she can always do something out of the ordinary. If someone wanted to create a palace then that person must have a clear image of it and she must have enough mental power in order to do so" Flora then with a brazen look on her face grin and explained to me like a teacher in those anime and manga's.

'Hehmm..! I'm sure master would be pleased when I build him a palace..! But it would be challenging, normally it would take us at least five to a whole week with only ten of us here but if we have double the man power then it could be done withing three to five days as the maximum'

"Then I shall follow you... F-" I humbly bowed because I was embarrassed when I almost muttered Flora when we weren't even that close.

'T-that was embarrassing... I almost called her by her first name... haha good thing I already watched enough anime to counter such embarrassing scenes..!'

Nyx then looked at Flora and saw that Flora was also flustered and looked quite shy.

"Ahhh..! Master needn't to worry about it... just call me F... Flora..." Flora acted like a teen in heat and her face became redder by the moment she continued to converse with Nyx.

"Ah... Uhm... o-okay... M-ms. Flora..." I couldn't help but stuttered in embarrassment.

After a while of looking embarrassed and flirting, the fellow dark elves finally took Flora away from Nyx and talked to one another.

"Ms. Flora..! you can't act like that! your the next to be the leader of the Daug clan..!"

"Yeah..! Ms. Flora you have already received your name at the age of 15 and now your already 47 and in the next five years you will be already be able to participate in the battle of heirs and the top one will the clan leader! You can't devote yourself to a human child..!"

"Exactly Ms. Flora you have a bright future ahead of you..! I get it that your interested in master because of how strong and... handsome he looked..."

"..."

'She's right... he does look handsome when he took down that Cerberus in an instant... and he also somehow took it along with him, he somehow looks good to me... urgh... this damn tradition! We somehow always ends up admiring and love someone stronger than us...'

The Dark elves went quite while all of them blushed and looked at each other noticing that they somehow ended up admiring rather than scolding Flora.

"Ahh..! Master, you must be wondering why I only have a name... it's like this..." Flora then explained to Nyx their basic customs.

Flora then explained, unlike humans who was blessed by the creator they don't need names to further train their powers. But unlike demi humans they need names that has meanings from the root of their souls, when the dark elves held the coming of age of their young ones they go to a special place of enlightenment in which case they will fight with each other and the winner will received their names in due time while the defeated ones will have to wait for the battle of the heirs which the people under a participant will have to battle the other participants of each next leader of each clans and the defeated will have to wait for another time to gain a name for themselves and the winner of the battle of heirs be granted the Clan Leader tittle which in due time they will replace the current clan leader.

But talking about names, it depends whether the one who can provide enough mana to make them evolve or the name itself has a deep meaning.

"Hmm... so names for other clans is actually power huh..? And in the Dark elf clan you only have about a hundred thousand names and for each clan having twenty thousand each for their clan member to have and be passed down"

"Master is right, and because of this we have a tradition that almost went for more than tens of thousands of years because our ancestor was actually said to be a half human and he started the Seven City's of the continent of Eden. And each City's was said to represent a kind of treasure that corresponds with their names, it was said that it was left by the ancestor back then and that the Royal families now are actually our long lost brothers and sisters but now the human and the demi human race are not fond of each other as other humans have started to be greedier and the Royal family protecting them... it can't be help but severe our clans and the royal family apart..." Flora looked at Nyx with a saddened expression and almost looked like she has someone she yearned for.

"This... it's not our fault, but we can slowly change that... that is, if your willing to follow me and get stronger besides me and our future comrades..!" I then looked up slightly and gave Flora a smile while trying to recruit her, a perfect sentence if I may say.

Flora then heard Nyx's words and can't help but have hope and bit her lips to the point that it bleed but gave Nyx a serious look before kneeling down to him.

'This may be my only chance to become stronger much quickly, if what master said is true... cultivation is actually an ancient art of practice that focuses on ones inner power and soul to rival that of a god..! But this... I didn't believe him at first because it could be that he had read it from some ancient books or text, but when I think about it in our clan only the clan leaders are allowed to know this. But my mom told me... I didn't know why but... it was a secret of our Daug clan that the next most promising soon to be a clan leader need to know this secret before hand and it was passed down from our ancient ancestor that lived for more than a hundred thousands of years back then!'

"Master!" Flora shouted to Nyx making her fellow dark elves sisters shocked and surprised.

"Ms. Flora..!"

"Don't interfere with me fellow sisters... I believe in master and what he showed us hours earlier..."

'That's right... he shattered the stone sword with his bare arms and only has a tiny bit of scratch... and that stone sword was enchanted and I even used the special rune of our clan..!'

"..."

All the Dark elves went silent and only looked at Flora in a daze, they couldn't deny that Nyx had both shattered and defeated an opponent their young next to be clan leader can't defeat with her current power and Flora is already an advance swordsman

An advance swordsman can already shatter steel with his or her bare hands and with a proper technique they can even shatter a boulder with their own palm and not mentioning their own sword.

After an awkward silence Nyx finally said something and let Flora rise and let them lead the process of making a small palace and talk about master apprentice matter later.

And sure enough after a the earth rumbled and the magic circle once again glowed and the dark elves used their magic to create columns that resembles that of a Corinthian style that looked so fancy but the stone it was made of was dark and looked like a black marble

But after a while all of the outer and a little bit of the inner space gor a corinthian style columns that at least reached two hundred columns with a height of ten meters, but afterwards all the Dark elves collapsed to their knees except Nyx and Flora.

"We should stop now... take this, and F-flora... please give your fellow sisters this pills..." I blushed while diverting my gaze to elsewhere and the hot afternoon gaze of the sun made me sweat which made me embarrassed.

"...What's this..?" Flora looked at a brownish colored beads with a confused look.

'What is this..? It feels like the mana around the air is actually gathering towards this small beads...'
