Chereads / Holy Beast Saintess (Dropped) / Chapter 21 - Family Name ‘Ever-Reach’

Chapter 21 - Family Name ‘Ever-Reach’

By the pond little white began to put together the different herbs in a safe location completely unaware of the result of her actions.

After searching the mountain she found a few old items left behind by humans, some tools, broken vials for storing pills and medicine and other things.

Luckily she found a few vials in good condition and went back to the herbs.

She placed the herbs on a flat rock and began to use one of her hooves to slowly grind the herbs until they had completely turned into a pile of powder.

She proceeded to gently put the powder into the jars as cautiously as possible, holding the jar in her mouth at the end of the rock as she used her front hoof to push small amounts into the vials each time.

After some time and effort she had filled several jars with a mixture of the powdered herbs and nodded in satisfaction. "Man that was tough without hands! Being a beast is tough for doing such precise actions. Perhaps the only beasts on this mountain that could manage creating things for me would be those monkeys."

"Oh well, although the powder I made should be helpful it would not compare to most body tempering medicinal bath solutions." She could only sigh in regret.

She knew of the better recipes for making medicinal baths to assist cultivation, body tempering and healing but she lacked the necessary ingredients so she could only settle for a low grade recipe which has lesser effects.

If her father knew her thoughts he could be angered to death!

Those herbs were collected from his life's travels and gifts from others that he had been storing up for a very long time…

If the nobles in the kingdom knew her thoughts they would go crazy!

If they had such a recipe perhaps they could raise their clan to greater heights and here she is complaining it's not as good as you would wish it to be… Can you not be so luxurious??!

"Oh well, time to get started." Little white opened one of the vials and emptied a small amount into the pond.

The pond began to hiss and change colour slightly turning a little green.

The little rabbits previous pale complexion began to become a little rosy as his body was beginning to feel the effects of the bath.

Little white joined him in the pond and nudged him awake, they both submerged into the pool completely and began cultivation.

During cultivating their insides and outsides felt as if they were being bitten by thousands of tiny insects.

Waves of pain washed through their bodies as they endured gritting their teeth and cultivated their cultivation manual ignoring the pain in their bodies.

Hours passed as they cultivated, eventually the green colour disappeared completely within the pond and became transparent after little white and the rabbit had absorbed all of the medicinal effects.

Before night came they spent the rest of the day sparring with one another testing out their new strength, little white would occasionally tell stories of powerful cultivators in legends to get the rabbit to be more enthusiastic towards training.

Of their powerful strength, their life's journeys and legendary actions which made them so famous.

Of course she did not glorify the martial cultivation world as being all good, she also told stories of corruption, betrayal and other dark things in the world.

If he were to enter the outside world, he would have to have a clear view of how things work, if he was naive about such things perhaps he would be tricked one day leading to his death.

"When travelling and achieving greater accomplishments we should keep pushing forward but we should never forgot ones roots. If we forget such things we could very well begin to look down on mortals and those below our strength as ants like other cultivators do." She shook her head and sighed. "One must not be too arrogant and respect life, while cultivators gain strength for their own purposes it should not be used for the slaughter of mortals and those weaker than you unless they provoke you first."

"And so if I remember correctly this mountain where we live is called Ever Reaching Mountain…" She lightly smiled and began to look at the rabbit in thought.

"When we wish for others to hear our stories of our own accomplishments we shall have our own names go through the world so we should carry our roots with us where we go."

"You will be named Korah Ever-Reach, First name Korah and second name Ever-Reach while I have decided to call myself Shadow Ever-Reach." She suggested to the little rabbit as she finally reached a decision.

The little white rabbit looked at his friend and began to get excited. "Thank you Shadow!" His little eyes turned upwards like crescent moons.

Although the name Shadow could be a word to describe her in her youthful days in the previous life, in this life it represented a different meaning.

She would no longer be the shadow hiding behind others going unnoticed, she would be a shadow that lurks in the darkness until her enemies show weakness.

This name was her firm determination to build up her strength and protect her family from the shadows while also returning to the immortal world one day.

Hiding the vials nearby the pond she made her way home, receiving a light scolding from her parents after she calmed them down and told them she took the herbs.

Calming down, they settled down to cultivate during the night as her siblings began to break through their first meridian.

Back at the rabbits home he bounced around happily as he tested his speed, using light kicks to the air occasionally while practicing his combat skills. "I have a name… Korah Ever-Reach… I will cherish this name for the rest of my life!"

Perhaps Shadow was not aware of how happy this name made Korah the rabbit but it was not surprising since most beasts naming sense are terrible.

Most beasts would be named after their characteristics and rather simply, even some larger groups of beasts use numbers to name them or not putting much thought into naming their young.

The rabbit did not have a name because of losing his family at a young age and seeing how much thought she put into giving him a name he was very grateful and happy with it.
