Hi here is chapter 59 being the second chaper of the week. Also don't worry there will be some movement soon.

Chapter 59 Garden

Inside of the inner sect area was a square surrounded by a houses and mansions of different sizes. There were mansions with big parks and trees but also houses with small gardens (flats) where people were living. The question if you live in a flat or a mansion was decided by two factors. Money and power. Thus with enough money or strong families supporting them, or the stronger ones among the inner sect disciples were living in the luxurious mansions enjoying their lives while cultivating. The other ones, the poor ones without a faction backing them or a powerful cultivation to gather the attention of some expert. They were the ones living in small flats, cultivating to the bone and always struggling to get some cultivation treasure to finally change their own situation and attain the ranks of the powerful and wealthy.

In middle of this disarray of poor and rich, of powerful and weak, the huge mansions and the small flats only a few square meters big, there was a small house located between a big mansion of a family with deep roots having few strong elders and core disciples and a three story house with more than 20 people inside of it.

The small house was only two story big with a small garden surrounding it. In the garden there was a little forest of black bamboo and a little pond. Beautiful black and white lotuses were blooming on its surface giving of a fragrant scent that was filling the whole garden with a wonderful aroma. 

In fact, the bamboo growing in the mansion just like the black and white lotuses were not just normal plants. They were what cultivators were calling cultivation treasures. Plants that had absorbed huge quantities of natural qi from the surroundings and gained the natural effect of rising one’s cultivation or at least accelerate the speed of it. The black bamboo was called Black Sprouting Bamboo and a single stem was able to increase one’s soul realm cultivation by a whole realm. Inside of the sect there were some cultivation treasures available to inner sect disciples. But this were all inferior to the Black Sprouting Bamboo and one had to do quite a service to the sect to get them.

The black and white lotus was even a higher grade than the black bamboo. Cultivation treasures were differentiated into two classes. Soul cultivation treasures and qi cultivation treasures. As the names implied soul treasures were used by Illis while normal qi cultivators were using qi cultivation treasures. These two classes were also divided into four grades. Earth grade cultivation treasures were the lowest grade of cultivation treasure only cable of increasing the speed of cultivation. Heaven grade cultivation treasures came after them being the second lowest grade. They could tremendously increase the cultivation speed or even directly increase the cultivation by half stage.

Next were primal cultivation treasures having the lineages of primordial cultivation treasures, the highest cultivating treasure grade. They had the ability to directly increase the cultivation of a cultivator by a whole stage at once. The only drawback was that they could only be used once. Even when using vast quantities of them, one couldn't use the same kind of primal cultivation treasure to increase the cultivation again.

The black and white lotuses were this kind of cultivation treasure but even in the primal grade it was considered as superior in its realm. This was because it wasn't only raising the cultivation of the consumer, it also sped up his cultivation to 3 times the normal for a span of three days. In comparison the effects of a heaven grade cultivation treasure that raised the speed of cultivation was at most 2 times the normal speed and the effect only lasted for about 12 to 24 hours.

This incredible lotus was called Black White Heaven Lotus and it was normally only available to elders of the sect.

Two primal grade cultivation treasures were planted in this little house’s garden. These two treasures were enough to make any inner sect disciple getting crazy over them but in this garden they were just used as normal plants to look at and enjoy their looks. This alone made it clear that the owner of the little house couldn't be simple at all.

After all, this person was influential enough to have access to primal treasures while being in the inner sect but still did not get himself a mansion to live in. Instead he chose this quite normal looking house that could also belong to some "normal" disciples. The black bamboo alone was worth more than ten mansions!

Inside of the small garden there was also a small pavilion located hidden in a corner. In this small pavilion a group of 7 people was currently seated around a table of red wood. Currently two girls in the group were having a heated discussion with each other. Maaran was sitting on the other side having cramps from excessive laughing. His face was already making the weirdest expressions while he was deliberately trying to avoid his head crushing into the table.

On the other side was Zes with his ice cold nature and calm face. He was looking at the scene of the two girls almost jumping at each other throats. It seemed that he was completely unconcerned about the whole situation. 

But deep inside of his mind he was currently dying of laughter. In fact, he was laughing to the point of shaking his whole soul realm. His whole being was only cable of laughing at this comical scene. But this was only inside of him. On the outside there was nothing on him telling anything but "I don't give a fuck about you all".

All of his emotions showed or rather not showed in this small pavilion was caused by the two girls fighting. This was because out of some strange reason the two of them suddenly discussed who of them was having more sex with Maaran. After some moments their discussion had already become a fight and now they were already on each other’s throats only obstructed by the other girls that were trying hard to get the situation under control.

Maaran and Zes were unable to help because they were unable to do anything but laugh. One of them openly, the other one in his mind.

It was only after Maaran calmed down a bit and separated the two of them that the situation ended. Soon after that, the group of core disciples excused themselves and left the garden for their own residences in the core sect.  Zes was left behind alone sitting in the pavilion and looking at the small pond surrounded by black bamboo. He slowly slurped a tea while muttering.
