64 Learning apothecary (1/2)
Another world, underground. Mountains filled with lush greeneries. And the whole land seems never ending..
”I think I just found my second home...” Iiana was awestruck and breathless as she was taking in the beautiful and mysterious underground land in front of her. she began to mull how she could turn the place as a secret base. Another safe haven for her family. The great part about this world is that, this kind of place doesn't have land titles like back in the world.
”Now, where is that will o wisp?” She put her hand right on her forehead and look around. Sadly, not a trace of it can be seen. Iiana sighs. She decided to walk around the place.
”Might take me about two whole weeks to explore this place... I wonder why it's full of vegetation here. There is no sunlight... but oh! There are cloud over there. That's mean there's enough water and heat around here..hmm interesting.”
Upon activating her appraisal skill, she was surprised to see a lot of high ranking herbs and fruits lying around undisturbed and put it all inside her spatial ring.
”What a treasure!” Iiana laugh gleefully. Maybe it was time for her to learn new skills. She need to learn apothecary. The medicine in this world kind of lacking and sadly only noble or rich people can acquire the help from healer.
She sat down and look down the snake.
”Do you mind? Can't you let go of my waist now?”
The snake ignored her completely and simply choose to close its eyes. Still there, and not budging at all. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. It reminded her of the feeling wearing protective maternity belly band though in this case, it is rather warmer than your normal one.
”Fine. Don't blame me if you get some blown out debris on you” the snake seems hell bent ignoring her completely and that made her huffed in dissatisfaction.
She open the menu box, where the inter-dimensional online shop located. And scrolled over the bookstores and found what she wanted. She purchased it easily with five blue spirit stones. It didn't bothered her to spend much since the haul from this place was enough to make her a rich madame. While purchasing it, she saw something that made her stopped and look at it long before a wide devilish grin appear on her face.
She was the type who read and understand the core of it and implement it. Once upon a time, she was a student too. Memorising things is much easier to answers all the black and white examination test, but when it come to practicality.. not so much. She soon learned that though it maybe easier to memorise things, it is way better to understand and assimilate the knowledge into a proper practice.
Though right now, her head start to feel dizzy looking at a stream of words that she wasn't familiar with. She almost want to throw the book and give up but stopped.
”Hmmm...” she flipped through the contents of books slowly and began to feel the chill around her. She snapped her finger and few small fire orbs appear, warming her up. It was then the light from the fire made her notice something on the book's paper. A hidden writing that cast another shadow behind the inky words.
