Nyssa, Dagen, Parvan and the rest of Arthur's companions had all been badgered the last few days. Just over a week had passed since they reached White Corpse City, and all of them had taken the time to explore and visit the numerous facilities and stores that littered the streets of this brand new Region.
They sold spirit beasts, whose strength and power matched that of even Rank 3 Fae Masters without the use of Fae. The vast majority of these were Corpse Attributed spirit beasts, although they provided unique treatments which could help promote an evolution, or a variation into a Corpse Attributed spirit beast.
There were even stores that specifically sold spirit plants, all which varying levels of spiritual awareness! There was even a variant Butterfly Corpse Flower that Milena had taken a liking to, and purchased it with some of the Fae materials she had brought herself.
White Corpse City also possessed numerous restaurants and cafes which sold all sorts of spirit beast concoctions or Fae material medicines which could help Fae Masters strengthen their physiques, remove impurities from their origin essence, or even enhance their spiritual seas.
There were slave markets, filled to the brim with mortals and even Fae Masters who had willingly decided to give up their freedoms in order to pay their debts. Most of these slave markets were linked inconspicuously to Auction Houses and the more valuable slaves would be sold there instead.
Considering the proximity to both the two Fae Grounds and the Corpse Shore replica, a spirit dock had been established within White Corpse City. All manners of boats, and their creators tried to promote their creations to the White Dominion Sect members, and individuals who had managed to gain passports to use the Corpse Shore.
There was even the two "gems" of White Corpse City; the Corpse Nurturing Pagoda, and the Cadaver Research Facility.
The former was present in order to promote the growth and development of Corpses in alignment with the School of Adaptation, while the latter was designed in order to research Corpses in accordance to the School of Mummification.
All disciples belonging to the White Dominion Sect had to pay a special contribution point unique to their Sect, while individuals who weren't apart of the White Dominion Sect had to pay a premium in order to use these facilities.
Milena didn't even so much as hesitate before paying said premium. To her, White Corpse City was a paradise filled with knowledge and wisdom. She had already learned so much just by watching, and by actually learning with her own two hands, she would be able to reach even greater levels of achievement!
While she was doing that however-.
"Excuse me young miss, but are you by chance Nyssa Kovacs?".
Nyssa showed a slightly annoyed expression but just turned around, glancing at Iryna and Henrik beside her. Within the past hour, this was the sixth time someone had called out one of their names.
Even though she knew what Arthur wanted her to do, it was still annoying have to deal with all these.... "people".
Arthur had told her to try an hide her surface thoughts, just in case anyone she encountered had an attainment in Thought Laws. Unlike Emotion Laws which could read only emotions, Thought Laws were much more.... expansive in their reach.
Especially at the lower levels.
She appeared slightly on guard, despite the fact that she was facing a woman and two guards.
This woman was bearing the symbol of the White Dominion Sect. And from the colour of her robe, it was obvious that she wasn't a normal disciple.
Her garbs were black an indication that she was an inner disciple of the White Dominion Sect.
Nyssa nodded slightly, appearing slightly courteous. She couldn't feel this woman's cultivation, so more than likely it was higher than her own....
"My name is Violet Sunglass. I am here today to try and invite the various heroes of White Corpse City to a martial gathering that my family is hosting. I had heard that there was an individual bearing the name Kovacs who was quite the.... formidable Fae Master. I was wondering if you would do us the honour of attending my gathering?".
Nyssa glanced at Iryna and Henrik, before giving Violet Sunglass a small nod.
"Thank you for the invitation Miss Sunglass. I will.... discuss the matter with the rest of my group".
The young lady bearing the family name "Violet" nodded, watching as Nyssa and the others slowly walked off into the distance.
As soon as they were out of sight, her expression changed, and a cold look marred her once warm and inviting face. A young man appeared from behind her, smirking slightly as he glanced at black garbs. He too also wore black.
"Junior apprentice Sister Violet.... why must you act so cautiously around a group of nobodies? The only one we are interested in is the Boundless Forest Yearning. The rest of them are just.... mediocre Fae Masters from a backwater region. They didn't even have a Rank 5 Fae Master as their Clan Leader....".
This "Junior apprentice Sister Violet" glanced at the young man behind her, narrowing her eyes at her fellow inner disciple.
"They might be under the influence of the Boundless Forest Yearning. So doing harm to them, would be the same as doing harm to him. The Returning Galaxy Auction House didn't tell us much, but underestimating any Sovereign Boundary Physique wielder would automatically put us at a disadvantage".
The young male inner sect disciple rolled his eyes, earning the ire of his Junior apprentice Sister. The slightly younger girl narrowed her eyes summoning the corpse of a spirit plant behind her.
"You may have a Boundary Physique Senior Apprentice Brother Mist, but the gap between Sovereign Boundary Physiques and Boundary Physiques is wider than the distance between the Heavens and the Earth. You may have a Law Image within your origin essence sea, but you do not possess the other aspects that any other Sovereign Boundary Physique possesses".
The slightly older male disciple narrowed his eyes, not so much as even glancing at the spirit beast corpse that his Junior apprentice Sister had summoned.
Despite being only a hadron ruby origin essence Fae Master, the Corpse in her possession possessed a cultivation that exceeded even Arthur's!
If one were to compare it to a Fae Master's cultivation, it would at least be a liquid topaz origin essence Fae Master, possibly even a solid topaz origin essence Fae Master!
And yet this young man, seemed completely unfazed by such a thing.
Instead, he smiled, letting out a sigh of appreciation at the sight of her spirit beast.
"I truly envy your background Junior apprentice Sister. Even though you have a first-tier talent, it isn't much better than a peak second-tier talent. If it wasn't for your Grandfather and Uncle, I'm afraid that you would've never become an inner sect disciple....".
The young man smiled, flicking his finger gently.
Violet Sunglass felt her eyes widen and her expression change dramatically as she felt the change in the air around her.
She immediately called back her spirit plant corpse, narrowing her eyes at Purple Mist in front of her.
"Y-You.... managed to comprehend a Law!".
Senior Apprentice Brother Purple Mist smirked, shrugging his shoulders.
"Corpse Laws differ from most other Law Creation level Laws. Fire Laws can create fire with a single tap of the foot, and Water Laws can create a flowing stream from a single teardrop. Corpse Laws on the other hand, cannot create corpses from nothing, but instead-".
Violet Sunglass felt an enormous amount of Corpse type spiritual essence bear down on her body. Despite the fact that it was enough to completely suffocate a mortal, there was no sign of anyone else on the street who could feel the pressure she was currently feeling!
The young girl gritted her teeth, glaring at her Senior Apprentice Brother, before feeling the pressure suddenly vanish.
She blinked, and then noticed his figure was nowhere to be seen.
His words echoed all throughout the street, although their origins were completely unknown to Violet Sunglass.
"I'll see you at the martial gathering then, Junior apprentice Sister! I hope this Boundless Forest Yearning is completely who you say he is!".
