Remmembering that she had forget the elder she saw him again Elder: Take it,in this life the jewel will only be your in this life. Li Mai take the comb and taking of her veil put the comb in her hair,then the jewel changed,losing all her colours. Seeing the face that Li Mai was making the elder,pat her head in a friendly way. Elder: Don''t worry,that means that the jewel has accep to you like her new owner and that will only obey you,until you die.Now kneel,so you can receive the sacred space arts. Li Mai kneel in front of the elder with the close eyes and when he touch her head,she could feel that all the tecniques and the information was entering in her brain. But remembering her comb,she look the elder Li Mai: How can I use this comb? Elde: Extend your hand and try to think in a plant,that you want.It doesn''t matter what,just imagine them Li Mai,extend her hand and imagine a millemium of years gin seng. Then she feel Lily nitting her robe. Lily: Master,look in your hand. Li Mai was stunned for what her saw in her hand.The same plant that she imagine. Elder: Before you leave I have a story that I would like that you heard. Chapter 21 - 21.- The First King life Elder: Like you would probably guest I was the first king in the history of the Clouds Empire. When I was young one time I go out in a excursion to find the ingredients that were necesary for a pill that my wife was needing. Li Mai: But,why did you go??I mean you were the king you could send somebody to search it for you. Elder: I tried to make that but they could never find it,and the condition of my wife was worst year by year.When my wife start to show signs of a pregnat women,the imperial doctor told me that if my wife don''t take that pill.Both of them will die for sure. Elder: Then I start to search that plant,but the days past and I couldn''t find it. And one day,I dream with a voice that was saying me that I had to go the a wood that it was at the end of the Ki dead river. Knowing that my people will never let me go,with the help of my brother I leave the palace in secret the same night. And at the end of my trip,after find several dangerous creatures.I arrive to a beautiful temple were there was a misterius women that told me that she will give me what I needed and in return I will had to be the new guardian of tha comb. And take it with me to the Cloud Empire, waiting until her true owner take it. I wasn''t very excited about the task,but for my wife I accept. Li Mai: Then,why didn''t you leave the comb to your family?Maybe one of you could be the new owner Elder: I was thinking the same at that time,but one of my royal concubines.Thinking that the comb could help her child to take the trone.Took it and the next day all the plants in the Empire died with her, the next night the same voice from years ago told me that nobody of my family decerved to be the next owner of the comb. And advicing me from my near death,give me instructions of what to do. Li Mai: But that wasn''t mentioned in any story book Elder: Because I make it dissapear all the information,that we had.To be honest I think that the comb has more power and can do more.But I could never prove my teory,like I said before only the true owner can use all the power of the comb.Now I can go with my loved queen. My best wishes for you little lady. Li Mai: Thanks for the story,but before you leave I would like to ask.How to leave this mountain?? Elder: Behind this waterfall there is an exit,but be careful I can feel a lot of people outside. In your Inner space I leave all the my treasures, and all the information that I had. Be careful that jewel isn''t a toy,please take care of the comb with your life. Li Mai: I will,thanks. Lily let''s go Lily: Yes,master. Saying that the two of them leave the cave. When they were outside, Li Mai,check her inner space and saw,a lot of things that the elder had leave for her.One of them was a white robe that had drawing of a loto flower with a veil. Remembering the girl and her brother,she feel that in order to avoid future troubles,she should change her clothes and take a bath. Lily and her were walking until they arrive to a river that was far from the mountain. Li Mai: Could you check if there is somedody near here?? Lily: Yes,master. Lily come back after an hour and stood in Li Mai shoulder. Lily: Master,all the area is empy,there are only a few plant spirits they will keep clean all this area. Then the two of them enter to the river and clean themselves. -----Meanwhile in the near of the wood--- Guard 1: Young master,there I can feel that there are a lot of people in this wood.

Li Mai: Yes,but this pig is saying that I can''t. Fat man: Yes,go out.No... Before he could finish his sentence he was take it to another room by the guards of the store. Then the employee apologize with Li Mai for the behaviour of his partner and decided to take Li Mai to see the manager. Then a young man,that seems to be in his twenty years enter to the room and guide Li Mai to a room that was in the third floor of the building. Rem Quin: Hi young master, my name is Rem Quin and I''m the manager of this store.If it''s good for you I would like to leave behind the etiquette and past to our business Li Mai: For me is fine, I want to sell this herbs Rem Quin: This are ginseng of a million years,purple grass, ginkgo biloba,dedalera,...

Li Mai: A house a big one, it has to be in good conditions and in a quiet neighborhood Rem Quin: That don''t be a problem I have a friend that was trying to sell his manor,because of his financial problems. I will make an appoinment with him tomorrow. Li Mai:Then I will come tomorrow. --------Mu Manor---------- Mu Au was reciving a lecture from her brother,because of her behaviour leaving the house without notice him. Mu Au: I''m sorry but it was your fault too,you was going to let me alone,again. Mu Sei: Because it could be dangerous for you,but the important is that you are fine. Mu Au: You say that,but you make everybody worry about you. Mu Sei: I was searching something.... Mu Au: Did you find it?? Mu Sei: No,but I will.Now tell me about your new friend I would like to meet her. Mu Au: She isn''t here,maybe another time. Mu Sei go back to his room and ordered to the sernvants to prepare his bath.True he was curious about the new friend of her sister,but the mysterious girl that he saw in the river was focusing all his attention.She was really beautiful almost like if she isn''t from this world and the unicorn that was with her.Makes him think that she could be a fairy,but the kick that she give him broke his ilusion.It only past five minutes,but after he wake up,she had already gone. He had gone to search her in part to apologize but his true goal was ask her who was her.It wasn''t normal for a girl to be playing in the water with an unicorn,that tell him that she can''t be a noble. And with out realize Li Mai took all his attention. ----Back with Li Mai---- She was walking for the streets and then she saw a great amount of people walking down streets. They seem to be slaves,she could see children,teenagers with poor clothes and with scars in their body.Remembering that she need more people to take care of the new house that she was going to buy and to help Mi?.She decided to enter and then she found a simple man with two bodyguards. Man: Welcome,young master.How can I help you? Li Mai: I need some people. Man: Something in special,gender,age?? Li Mai: No, I will come tomorrow to select them. Man: I have plenty of people,but about the price?? Li Mai: Don''t worry I have money.Then see you tomorrow After leaving the place and she go back to the Mu Mano Chapter 24 - 24.- Heavenly loto manor After Li Mai go back with Lily to her room she told Mi?,that they would move tomorrow, and said her to be prepared. Then they go to sleep and the next day,she go to see Rem Quin and he show her the house that he had talk about. Li Mai: I like it,but I want to know are you selling a place like this?? Vi Ol: Well,it cots a lot take care of this place and my son is having some problem. My family has take a lot of debs in this years.I can''t afford a place like this anymore. Li Mai: Then I will take it, I''m going to move it this night. Rem Quin: Then I will take care of the transaction. Li Mai: Thanks a I want to ask do you know the name of a somebody that could help me with the furniture? Rem Quin: I know that you where going to ask that she is waiting outside.I will leave you with her while I prepare the transaction. Li Mai: Thanks. Then the manager go out and give the keys to Li Mai,while a woman that was dressed in an elegant way enter. Ny Er: Hi my name is Ny Er,I''m here to help you,young master. Ny Er: That will be imposible this manor is too big.I''ll need three days,to complete the job. Li Mai: Then could you have the principal court ready for tomorrow, the others you can prepare then. Ny Er: That can be done, I know that I shouldn''t ask but young master could it be that you are a women?? Li Mai: So you guess,that will make the things easier.Yes,I''m a girl but I have a reason to keep my identity in secret When Li Mai took out her veil and Ny Er see her face,she couldn''t believe that a girl so beautiful was hiding her face. It was a bit childish, maybe because of her age but in a few years it will become in a face capable to turn down cities. She had work for a lot of pretty misses but they were all arrogant women that always were thinking that their face was out of this world. Li Mai: Then I will trust you this work. I will come back later, I have to arrange the servants things. Ny Er: I''ll start then,but before that what will be the name of this manor?? Li Mai: Heavenly loto manor Ny Er: Then I will leave the miss. Then Li Mai go to search the slave seller,when she arrive,he took her to the yard where she could see a lot of people. For a moment she feel bad about them,god had been unfair with them. But she had a lot of things to do, she cannot distract herselft with another issues. She wa doutful about the loyalty they could have to her,after all the relation of master-slave wansn''t a garanty that they will never betray her. Li Mai: I will take all the children and the women,they are all the slaves that you have?? Man: No, I have more mostly men,but almost everybody of them are sick.I dobut that they could leave more than two days. Li Mai: Take me to see them. Man: Follow me,please. Li Mai was taked to another yard,where they were fifty man,nineteen of them seem be sick they were all sweating and coughting. The rest of them were healthy,ignoring the pleading of help from those who were ill,with the exception of one. Seeing that this was a good oportunity to buy them for a low price. She offered the man to buy all the ill man and the other that was trying to help them. She give him the direction of her new house and ask the slave seller to take them as soon as it''s possible. And leave the half of the money with him. Li Mai go back to the Mu Manor to take Mi? and visit to Mu Au. -------Mu Manor------- Mu Au: Why do you have to go,big sister?? Li Mai: I have to settle some things. Mu Au: But I will see you again? ---------Heavenly Loto Manor------ The slaves arrives and after Li Mai attend the ill ones,she take all the slaves to the yard to talk with them. They were worried about what their new master was going to tell them or make them do. But nothing will prepare them for what they were going to listen. Li Mai: Hi, we''ll leave the introductions for later. I will leave the things clear for everybody, that will save us a lot of time. I will give to everybody two options, the first is to stay and work for me, for those who choose this I will help them to become stronger if that is what you wish, you will be like family for me. The second is to leave right now, you are free to go I won''t stop you. But in the second you leave this place, you will be by yourselft. The slaves start to talk between them and decided stay with Li Mai, they start to move the things that Ny Er had buy for the house and clean the house. The next day all the city was full of rumors about who was the person that was the owner of the Heavenly Loto Manor,some say that it was a member of the royalty,others that it was a powerful expert,a new noble,but nobody was sure. Li Mai start to train the servants by turn and give them pills to make their bodies better,so they could start to cultivate. But with out notice Li Mai attract the atention of nobles and even of the royal family,several of them were trying discover who she was. So in order to protect her identity,she decided to talk with Rem Quin taking advantage that she had learned how to make pills. Li Mai: I want to sell this pills. Rem Quin: But what can make this pills?? Li Mai: The blue can restore any damage that a face have. The yellow can increase the spiritual energy,the green can give more energy, but this pink is the best it can increase the beauty of a woman at least 3 times. Rem Quin: This will sell very well. But miss if they ask me,about your identity?? Li Mai: Tell,them that it was made by the owner of the heavenly loto manor. Chapter 25 - 25.- We meet again(1) Since the day of the pills subast,her manor had start to win some fame and her ?ssets increase again. And a lot of nobles start to arrive to the manor,asking for a word with the owner saying that they want to present their respects. But like Li Mai didn''t want to meet them,she decided to leave her servants say that the master was busy making pills and that they have strict orders to don''t disturb him. Three days past and like everything was going according with her plans, Li Mai decided to go to the wood with Lily to train more. She can''t stop thinking about what the guardian of the loto comb, but what others power this comb could have. There has to be a way to unlock all the powers that the comb has,but how. Then she remember that the elder had left her a lot of things in her inner space,so she and Lily enter. While she left lily eat the spirit stones,she find a book that had a jade cover and that was written for her surprise in chinese. That must mean that maybe the previous owner or the inventor of the comb was a transmigrator or a reincarnated person like her. Lily seeing the smile in her master face,come closer to her. Lily: Master, why are you smiling?? Li Mai: Because I have found the answers,about how to use this comb. Lily: How master??Lily want to know Li Mai: Let''s see, here it says that first I have to wake up the spirit that is inside the comb. Pouring my spiritual energy in it. Lily: Master,that''s dangerous. If you do that, the beast that are inside this wood will come after you. Why don''t you do inside your house?? Li Mai: If I made that I will attract more attention and I could be discover by somebody or attract the attention. Lily: Master, in that case I can put a barrier around you, with the spirit stones that you give me these days,I had already broke throught a middle-ranked silver master. But like broke throught recently I can''t control well my new abilities, so I don''t know how much I can mantain the barrier. Li Mai: I will thank you if do it, a little is better than anything and I really need to know how to unlock all the powers that this comb has. Lily nood and activate the barrier,then Li Mai started to pour her spiritual energy inside the loto comb. What they didn''t know was that the crowed prince and the heirs from t he principal families,were hunting inside the wood, between them they were the Feng family, Li Mai halft sister that had with her father and for last but not least important Mu Sei that wasn''t present but was inside the wood searching for that girl that didn''t leave him sleep.The night arrive in a blink of eye and Li Mai didn''t stop to pour her power,she and Lily were exausted and Lily cannot mantain her barrier anymore. Then her barrier dissapear and a strong wave of spiritual energy fill all the wood. ---------Hunting space--------- Crown Prince: What''s that?? Bodyguard Li: This servant, think that it was the job of a powerful spiritual beast. Li Jin: Father what we do?? Li Mo: Dear daughter, you go back to the city, will go with the others to see what it is. Then the crown prince, the bodyguard, the feng young master, Li Mo and Mu Sei, go into their horses to investigate what had happen. Mu Sei go by a different route and use his contract beast to go faster than the others. While Li Mai had finally commplete to pour her spiritual energy and before she past out she listen a giggle from her comb. When she take a look she saw a beautiful woman that had the size of a doll. But seeing her situation,Li Mai took two bottles of energy pills from her inner space. She gave a bottle to Lily and took the other bottle for herself,after a couple of minutes they recover their forces. But then the little girl in Li Mai hand start to make a worried face. Little girl: My goddess, a lot of people is coming in this direction. I can feel it, Lily: Master, she is right I feel it,too. Your spiritual energy put them in alert and they are coming after us. There are some spiritual beast,coming behind them. Li Mai: We have to go,now. But when they were passing. they found a hight-level bear beast that pick a fight with them. Li Mai tried to cut the neck of the bear but only put stab his right eye and then the bear took to Li Mai,Lily tried to help her master.But before she could make a move a handsome man come to save her master and with the help of a white tiger,finish with the bear. While Li Mai and Lily was watching the scen but before they could say something,he took Li Mai and start to run with her while Lily transform into a bird to follow them. When the crow prince and his attends arrive to the place where Li Mai had been and saw the bear,they ?ssum that the energy wave come from the bear and decided to return to the city. Meanwhile Li Mai had past out in Mu Sei arms,he was looking to her like a strange thing. It was unusual that this little girl could have that kind of spiritual energy, while he was thinking what had happen Li Mai open her eyes and look Mu Sei with a face full of anger. Mu Sei: Little girl, don''t look me like that don''t tell me that you forgot that this young master save your life?? Lily: Master, he is right. Are you okay master??leave Lily take care of your wounds. After that Lily trasform back into a unicorn and treat the wounds that the bear had leave in Li Mai''s body. From Lily''s speech Mu Sei guest that she was Li Mai contracted beast, that elavate his interest toward her and after Lily finish to treat her master. Li Mai: I see, I thank this young master for save me,before. Please accept his pills in compensation for this young master,favour Mu Sei: If you want to repay this young master,favour. What about give me something else?? Li Mai: If it''s in my hands and is razonable I can make it. Mu Sei: Then ,what about a little kiss?? Chapter 26 - 26.- We meet again(2) Li Mai and Lily look to the young man with a face full of surprise, ahe thought that he will ask her money or to hand Lily to him. Who will have think that a man so handsome will ask for something like a kiss. Li Mai: This young master It seems that you forget that I said earlier that it has to be RAZONABLE Mu Sei: Then what is razonable for you?? Li Mai: I don''t know maybe the cure for the poison that it''s in your body White tiger: How do you know that master is sick?? Li Mai: I will be ashamed of myselft, if I don''t know that after all I''m a doctor. White tiger: I could simply snatch the unicorn that is behind you and make her cure master. Mu Sei: WHITE!!! White: I''m sorry,master Seeing Lily with a face full of fear and hiding herselft Li Mai gently pat her head,like if she was saying that everything was fine and nothing bad was going to happen. Calming Lily. Li Mai: I think that you want to do that at first,but if you hadn''t make it until now. It''s because your master don''t plan to take her and even if you do that Lily don''t have the power to cure that kind of poison yet. Mu Sei: And you can?? White: For what do you want my master hand. Li Mai: I have to take his pulse to identificate what kind of poison is, I will never do something with out study the problem from all the perspectives. But if you are worried you can look the entire process, in this point it''s not like I care. After all this man has already seen her face and Lily true form, there wasn''t any point in hide her or Lily appearence. Li Mai took the pulse and then discover that the poison in Mu Sei''s body it was a mix from three different kinds of poison that comes from a spiritual sanke,spider and a scorpion. Somebody had taken a lot of measure to poison this man, a normal man would be already dead. This was a serious condition but it wan''t like it was her busineess,she was only trying to repay a favour for saving her life,in her past life as Miyuki she had learn a lot of abilities in medicine because that was the business that her family had and the bussiness meeting with powerful people leave her to learn that she never had to mind her in something that doesn''t concern her. Took of one of her hight grade- energy pills from her inner space and give to Mu Sei Mu Sei: I don''t think that this will cure me Li Mai:It won''t your condition is worse than I thought I will need at least two days to cure for complete. White: Why two days?? Li Mai: I think that you already notice that the poison in your body is not normal. Is a combination of three different kind of poisons, so the process is naturally much more difficult and complicated. Mu Sei: Then for what the pills ?? Li Mai: To recover your energy,the process is difficult and believe me you will need them. Lily: What kind of process is,master''?? Li Mai: First I have to administrate acupunture in your body,taking little by little the poison then repair the internal injuries that you have and give you some pills. Mu Sei: That''s all,then when can you treat me?? Li Mai: Are, you sure?? it will be a very painful process Mu Sei: It''s better that be painful that suffer all the time with this disease. Li Mai: It will be better do as soon we can, I don''t want to owe you nothing. Is better if we do in my house I have all the materials and the equipament that I need there. Mu Sei: Then I will go with you, but before that can I ask this young miss,name?? Li Mai: Mai and you?? Mu Sei: Mu Sei Li Mai: Only for asking but you don''t have a little sister,true?? Li Mai: Prove what?? Mu Sei: It''s destiny Li Mai: What destiny, it''s only coincidence. Then the four of them go to the heanvely loto manor and she take everybody to the medical court. When they arrive she look Mu Sei and ask him. Li Mai: I''m going to put you to sleep and when you wake up everything will be over. Drink this. After Mu Sei drank what lLi Mai gave him,he started to feel very relaxed,he could almost hear her count until ten and when he wake up he saw her cleaning her hands. Li Mai: I finish,I recomend you to go to your manor and rest for the next two days. Mu Sei: That was fast White: Master,you have been sleeping for two days. I''m glad that you are fine,master. Li Mai: It wasn''t so difficult and I''m going to keep the poison to study their components and properties.I hope the young master,doesn''t care. Mu Sei: If you want is yours but I think that you should destroy it. Li Mai: Why?? This can be very useful for me. Well with this our debt is finish. Mu Sei: Finish?? Li Mai: A life for another life,for me is a good deal,don''t you think. Chapter 27 - Seeking treatment(1) Li Mai: Mi?,send this young master to the Mu manor Mi?: Yes,miss.Young master,please follow me Mu Sei: Until we see again, Mai. Li Mai: ..... Then after Mi? send him to his manor she go back with her misstress, to see what had happen. And tell her all the things that had happen while she was gone to the wood. Li Mai: Mi?,something happen why I wasn''t here?? Mi?: Answering to the miss, some nobles have come again,we drive all them out.How the miss order us but a young miss is still coming and ask us to arrange a meet between the master and her. Li Mai: Don''t tell me is another one of who is wanting to have my favour. Mi?: For what she told us miss,she is asking for your help with her father disease. Li Mai: Hmmm...Do you know her name?? Mi?: Yes,miss her name is Ro Jin. Li Mai: Do you know something about her background?? Mi?: I think that she is from a family of generals,but I will send someone to collect more information. Do you need anything else,miss?? Li Mai: I will be waiting ,please get me the dinner. Inform me about the progreess of the children. Li Mai go to her private court,where she wait until Mi? came with her dinner.While Lily was sleeping in Li Mai''s bedroom in the last floor. Mi?: About the children miss,all had already brak thought the low-silver grade. Recently I had discover that some of them have vocation to the medicine and others are more intersted in fight tecniques. Li Mai: Then I will make those who are interested in fight to learn tecniques from the house bodyguards and for the others I will make them study some herbs for now. About the Jin miss,what do you discover?? Mi?: It seems that all her family has been powerful general from the kindgom for ages, her father died in battle ten years ago,her mother died in mysterious conditions and her grand-father is her only relative.Since her father''s death the power of her family has been decreasing and there are a lot of bad rumors about her around the nobles. I found that the seventh prince was her fiance,but he broke their engament a month ago the rumors says that his new fiance is the Feng family miss. Li Mai: Interesting, when she come tomorrow make her past to guest room in the mirror court. I want to have a little chat with her.Prepare everything and remember to put a false wall,for our meeting I can''t let her see my face until I know if this is a trap. Send her an invitation Mi?: Yes,miss.Rest well Mi? will follow your instructions. --------------Ro manor------------------- Inside ther young miss was worried thinking in how to help her grand-father. Thanks to the bad rumors about her and the broken engaiment,nobody want to help them. When suddendly a maid enter in her room. Ro Jin: What happened?? Ro Jin: Hand me the invitation. Then the maid pass to Ro Jin a letter,that had the date of tomorrow and a reminder that says to present the letter at the door of Heavenly Loto Manor. Ro Jin was both happy and worried,happy for the fact that maybe te owner of the Heavenly Loto Manor could help her grand-father and worried,because she didn''t know what kind of person he could be or what was going to ask in return for cure her grand-father. Seeing Ro Jin so worried her ga+rand-father decided to go with her, maybe his power had decreased but he could still do something if the things turn ugly. Chapter 28 - Seeking treatment(2) The next day all the servants of the Heavenly Loto Manor were rushing to prepare the things for the first guest that the manor was going to receive.That night when Ro Jin and her grandfather arrive to the manor a servant take us to the room where Li Mai was waiting them.Theu expect to see a elder bit instead they only saw a shadow that was behind a white screen, as soon as they notice the gestire that the person behind the screen was making with his hand they took a sit and feeling that the maners where out of place they decided to go to the bisiness that had take them to see this mysterious person. Ro Jin: I would like to ask the young master this invitation. Li Mai: My servants said that you want my ?ssisstence with your grandfather disease.I''m right?? Ro Jin: That''s correct, young master. I know that I''m asking something difficult but you are my only hope. Li Mai: If I cure your grandfather disease what I will get?? Ro elder: We can''t promise you money like I think you know our manor has been passing by financial problems lately. Li Mai: It isn''t money what I want. Ro Jin and her grandfather look to Li Mai with a dumbsyruck expression, if this young master didn''t want money then what he want.

Inside there where strange glass bottles with different forms, and a lot of another objets that they couldn''t identify with the exception of a couple of needles and a large table made of wood. Li Mai: What is bothering you? Ro Elder: The last then years after my son dead, the bons from my legs started to be weak and with the past of the years I can b?r?ly move them. I saw a lot of doctors before and even the imperial doctor but nobody could cure my legs. Li Mai: Can I check them?? Ro Elder: Please Li Mai examinate Ro Jin''s grand-father legs and saw that one of the veins from the right leg had a blue colour,when she saw that she understand that the disease from this elder was because of an infection from the bone of the two legs. Li Mai: Certaindly it can be cures Ro Jin: Really?? Li Mai: Yes but I will need to open your two legs. Ro Jin: Is it really necesary?? Li Mai: Yes Ro Elder: Can you swear that I will be fine?'' Li Mai: Sir and lady I have never done something that I wasn''t sure about it When they saw the confident expression on Li Mai''s face,they decide to entrust their lives on her hands and accept her treatment.

Servant 2: Yes,master Mi?: Master, I''m ready Li Mai: Then we can start, Ro Jin wait outside Ro Jin: Can''t I be with grandfather??

Then she order to Mi? to take Ro Jin with her grand-father,while she changed her robe. -----------(Ro Jin pov)------------ I had a mix of feelings inside me right now it was joy,nervous,hope and fear. The last feaw years were the worst that she could had imagine first her grand-father illness come to worst, her fiance broke their engament and the rumors about her started to whisper around all the empire. When she heard that a powerful doctor had move to the city her first thought was see if he can take a look to her grand-father and now her grandfather had just had a tratment. I can''t never pay this debt with that person I can''t wait to see the joyin my grand-father eyes when he start to move his leges like before,it seems that at least god hadn''t leave us alone. ---------Back to Li Mai court----- Li Mai had finished to change her robe when she feel that she had something in her hand, and then she heard a tiny voice cry.When she saw her hand she saw the spirit comb sobbing her eyes Spirit: Goddess,why didn''t you call me had I made something bad,please don''t leave me,uwu,uwu Li Mai: I''m sorry I had a lot of things to do Li Mai cannot say to this little girl that she had forget about her because of Mu Sei and his behaviour,the spirit stop to cry when she heard Li Mai''s answer and give her a satisfaction smile. Lily who was eating decided to come closer to see with who her Master was talking ans she saw a little human girl in her master hand that was standing in the center of what seems to a kind of flower. Li Mai: Lily this is my new spirit,she is... Spirit: Yin Lotus, I''m a humble servant of the goddess Chapter 31 - Little girl is good to see you again(1) Li Mai: I didn''t expect that this comb had a spirit living inside Lily: True,master I feel that this comb wasn''t normal but this is really unexpected Yin Lotus: My goddess, I''m not a spirit please don''t put me in the level of that things Li Mai: Then,what are you exactly?? Yin Lotus: It''s difficult to explain in human words.... but the simplest explanation is a fairy Lily: I think that they were a fake story Yin Lotus: That''s because most of us don''t like to interact with nobody but if you can''t see something don''t necessarily mean that it don''t exist Li Mai: Then could you tell me how to use all the power that this comb it has?? Li Mai understand what Yin''er was saying and to be honest she was already waiting this kind of answer to her question,after all it was almost impossible to archive something important with out a whole journey of work. But for the sake of her survival in this new world she will push herselft to the limit even if she had to defy the heavens. Li Mai: Then if I improve my current cultivation I can use all the power inside the comb??? Yin Lotus: Yes,my goddess Li Mai then suddenly remember that before living the Li Manor she had meet a strange elder in the wood, then she take out the jade pendant that he had gave her. Maybe it was time to pay a visit to that elder,in that moment a servant was asking for permission to enter and prepare the breakfast for Li Mai. Li Mai: That won''t be necesary, I''m going out. Servant: Miss, don''t you need that we prepare the carriage for you?? Li Mai: No, I will go by my own. Servant: Yes,miss ------------Medical Hall---------- Elder Feng:Brothers I ask for this reunion because of the offense that those commoners from the subast house had comittes against us. Elder Ma: What crime they had comitted?? Elder Feng: They stole the recipes from one of my disciplesand they refused to hand the money that they win with his pills. Chapter 32 - Little girl is good to see you again(2) In that way the accusations from the Elder Feng and the lectures from the crimes that the subast house had comitted against the medical hall continue in a non-stop hours, in fact this meeting has like objetive to ask for the permission from the other elders to close the subast house. An in order to archieve more power and money he had plans to recruit that mysterious doctor like his disciple if that person refuseto follow him;he will kill him and acusse the subast house .In that way in a few years he could steal the position of the head from the Elder Ma, in his point of view it wasn''t possible that a person like him that had an unknown background could have a superiorposition than him. He didn''t deserve it. Elder Ma: Big brother, I will think in a solution for this problem. Elder Feng: Little brother, we have to make justice for my disciple Elder Cha: And we will do justice. After listening their answer the elders finish the reunion, and when all they had gone, the Elder Ma and the elder Cha. Decided to talk about the Elder Feng problem. Elder Cha: To be honest, I feel that there is something wrong with the story that the Elder Feng share with us. Elder Ma: I feel the same, send spies to investigate this problem. Elder Cha: Yes, brother. Then I will take my leave. A couple of minutes after the Elder Cha take his leave a guard come to the office of the Elder Ma,when he was going to start to refine a pill. Seeing that the Elder Ma was busy,the guard was going to leave when... Guard:There is a youngster that ask us to see you,great-master Elder Ma: I have already give instructions to drive away all that people Guard: I know,great-master.But he has one of your special jade pendant Elder Ma: Are you sure??

Guard:Grand-master, here is the youngster Elder Ma: You can go now Guard:Yes,Grand-master Then the guard close the door leaving the Grand-master and Lu Mai alone.After he close the door Li Mai took of her veil, then she and the Elder Ma took a seat. Elder Ma: Is good to see you again,little girl Li Mai: Is good to see you again,too Elder Ma: I have been waiting for your visit Li Mai: I had to take care of some issues before, and you.How do you feel?? Elder Ma: Better thanks to you,little girl. Elder Ma: Thank you but I''m sure that you aren''t here only to ask bout my health. Li Mai: You are right, to tell you the true I was asking me if you have some information about ancient artefacts?? Elder Ma: I think that I have,but I can''t hand you that to you. Li Mai:?? Feeling the change in the mood that filled the room the Elder Ma decided to explaine the reasons,after all he ows his life to the little girl that was in front of him. Elder Ma: You see there is a rule in this place that doesn''t allow nobody to see that information,unless you have the permission from the ancient sect leader Li Mai: And how can I get that?? Elder Ma: You will need to win the arts martial competion that is going to come in a month Li Mai: Competition?? Elder Ma:Why don''t you become my dissciple??? in that way it will be easier to have acesses to the information that you need,after you win the competition Li Mai: Okay but what will I win if I become your dissciple?? Li Mai was after all a business woman in her past life and she will never do anything with out getting something in exchange, and after all she needed a kind of secure just in case that this could bring her problems. Elder Ma: What about a special pass for the Gloss Sun Empire? Li Mai had see that name appear in the history books that she had read when she was in the Li Manor and it seems to be a poweful kingdom that comes from centuries and that was normally closed even for some royals,because of this there wasn''t a lot of information about them.But they has innovations in all the fiels most of in the cultivation and medicine field. Li Mai: Then,we have a deal. Elder Ma: Don''t worry little girl,I promise you that you won''t regret this decission. I can''t wait to announce this to all the world. Li Mai: About that I will ask you to keep this in secret Elder Ma: Why? Seeing the evil smile that Li Mai was doing,the Elder Ma understood about what she was talking and could only pity that fool or fools for had provocate his dissciple anger. He was sure that sooner or later they will regret their decisions,but one part of him couldn''t avoid to think what could have their done to his dissciple.After all she doesn''t seems to be the kind of girl that will fight with all the people that she fin,the sure have done something really bad to her. Chapter 34 - Training start(1) Wanting to change the topic of their talk the Elder Ma decided that the best will be that they started with Li Mai''s training now,after all they don''t have a lot of time before the competition started. Elder Ma: About your training I think that the best will br if you started to train yourselft since today Li Mai: Okay Elder Ma: Then follow me Li Mai follow to the Elder Ma who was now her master,to the underground that seemed to be a training place, it was a place come out from a martial movie.The floor was made from stone the kanji symbol of honour was craved in one of the walls.

Elder Ma: It''s a special training room that only the Great-master can use Li Mai: I know but what makes it so special Elder Ma: It is because the of the symbol that is in the wall. It''s made from a special stone that has the ability to increase the dan tian. Li Mai: This stone I haven''t heard about it Elder Ma: That is normal this stone is so rare that only few experts know about it,nobody knows where it came from or how it was made. Elder Ma: Come here to meet her in the correct way ...: Yes,yes now I go Then she saw a bear with a no expression-face touching her robe,like trying to call her attention. It had a brown fur and had a blanket in his back,like if he was sleeping until a momment ago Chapter 35 - Training start(2) ....:?am.... Elder Ma: Come here,the sleep time has already finish .....: But it''s winter,I need to sleep to recover my energy Elder Ma: Introduce yourselft .....: Hi, I''m Nam the amazing bear Li Mai: Hi I''m Mai , nice to meet you Nam: And who is the other??

Li Mai: About that weapon..... Yin Lotus:It''s a special weapon with unique and great powers. Li Mai: Then,where is it?? Yin Lotus: Extend your hand, my goddess and try to concentrate a little of your power. Then Li Mai closed her eyes and take a deep breath and could feel that she was holding something in her right hand. When she open her eyes she saw a beautiful fan that had a blooming loto flower painted so carefully that almost seems to be alive. But this more than a weapon it seems like an accesory from a noble lady. Seeing the expression on Li Mai''s face the elder Ma decided to intervine Elder Ma: Don''t be sad little lady your master can give you a better spiritual weapon a sword,arrow,shield you only have to name it. Yin Lotus: My goddess this fan is better that any of that weapons I can sure it to the heavens.
