14 The girl that became a Shadow (1/2)

Arriving back at the mountain the family were finally safe, unfortunately due to the unexpected large attack they only managed to gather a single spirit grass but collected many spirit beast cores.

From previous times the supplies found would be more than what they had brought back so sharing it among the others would be difficult.

The situation was getting more tense because of the increasing need for resources with the increasing attacks.

The family silently retreated back to their cave, deciding to keep the matter of little white a secret after some discussion.

Little white silently sat in the cave with her eyes closed and began to go through her memories.

She began to see her younger self, a young girl with no name starving for food in the immortal world, with no parents she grew in an orphanage.

Growing up without anyone to support her she had to resort to theft to live at times, she gradually grew used to such a life, living cautiously and knowing when to take risks.

She was a quick learner and quickly got her first job in a local inn serving food and cleaning.

After some effort she was taught more and given more responsibilities earning the bosses praise.

After the boss checked her innate aptitude it was discovered she had a grade 9 talent and suited to practicing a light based cultivation method..

Ones talent determines ones cultivation speed and comprehension level, the lowest is grade 1 talent and the highest grade 9.

The boss felt they found a suitable person to invest in and bought a suitable immortal cultivation method and began training her.

After a few years she built a stable foundation after training and learned basic knowledge on different herbs and cooking recipes.

Unfortunately one day the inn offended a power they could not afford to while she was back at the orphanage.

The whole inn was burned down, the staff and boss all slaughtered within one night.

After losing her support she became increasingly cautious and rarely showed her talents during her journeys.

Why did she do this? Most people want to be in the spotlight and boast of their achievements but she didn't.
