Chapter 011 Looking for more Reiki
…
That night…
Sung Jisoo explained to Anne Jing what has happened… but did not tell her that the spirit is actually in the pendant. Although what happened looks like the pendant absorbing the spirit inside of it, some part is not that clear for Anne Jing to think that the spirit is actually inside the pendant.
The pendant which Sung Jisoo borrowed from Sonya Tang has now contained a spirit with an amount of Chaos Reiki which is something that is hard to find in this world.
That is why Sung Jisoo is really happy and almost drooling when looking at the pendant.
She knew that the spirit that was captured in the pendant would be very helpful in the future. But of course, she has to refine it first before it could be used.
However, she would not dare explain further about this, to Anne Jing because she knew that the young woman would surely be scared out of her wits.
The two talked with Sonya Tang and asked her if Sung Jisoo could get a bank card. They also told her about what happened when they were out shopping today. Sonya Tang has some idea on how to get a bank card, so she told them not to worry.
She was really amazed at how much Sung Jisoo was able to make in just one day.
After that, they went back to their rooms. When she was in her room, Sung Jisoo began to absorb the Reiki from the pendant. The amount of Reiki that the spirit of Yang Lei has given her is a bit substantial for her to enlarge her mortal meridian and prepare her to reach the second level. But of course, it is still not enough for her to break through to the 2nd level of the Breaking Mortality realm.
After absorbing the Reiki, she slowly refined the jade. She suddenly discovered that the spirit did not actually disappear. Instead, it decided to stay inside the pendant.
Sung Jisoo decided to write runes on the surface of the pendant. This would cause the natural Reiki which is very thin in the air to slowly gather in the pendant. And as a result, it would nourish the soul inside and then at the same time produces a calming effect on those wearing the pendant.
"This would be a good exchange for the Reiki I have taken. If auntie or Anne wears this they would not easily get tired or fatigued…" she muttered as she smiles with satisfaction.
"Well… It would be better if I have more of these kinds of stones…" she thought as she began to think of ways how to buy some jewelry.
Since she already has the money, it would not be that hard to buy some, right?
With this in mind, Sung Jisoo stands up and then walks out of her room.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in…" Anne replied from inside as she is busy doing something on her laptop.
"Hey… Anne… Do you have classes tomorrow?" Sung Jisoo asked as she sits at the edge of the bed while looking at Anne Jing.
"Umm… Yes, but only in the morning… I'm free at noon and the rest of the day... why?"
"I want to buy some jewelry… Where do you think would be the best place?" Sung Jisoo asked as she showed a curious gaze at Anne Jing's laptop.
"Hmm… Well, there are jewelry stores at the market… We can go there if you really wanted to. But… I think our money would not be enough to buy the jewelry in that place…" Anne said while thinking.
"Alright… Let's just visit there tomorrow... Hmm, are you're studying? Maybe you can use this pendant… It will help you with your memory and state of mind?"
When Anne heard that, she looks at the pendant that Sung Jisoo has just taken out of her pocket and quickly showed a horrified expression. She may not have noticed anything at that time, but she knew that the figure she has seen seemed to have been sucked by a vortex and entered somewhere.
Although she is not sure, she has an inkling that the thing is in the pendant.
"Are you scared? Don't be… I already refined it, now it will give you calmness and clarity of mind. I swear that I will not do anything to hurt you… You're my friend, right?" Sung Jisoo said as she hugs Anne from behind.
"Sigh… I did not know that you are this… clingy." Anne said with a smile she did not know why but she would always completely trust Sung Jisoo for some unknown reason.
Jisoo did not know why but she also found this type of attitude different but she likes it. She could remember doing this kind of action when she was trying to act coy while young from her fake memory.
Although she knew that these memories are not real, she still likes the feeling it gives.
Anne let Jisoo put the necklace on her.
As soon as she wears it, she immediately felt the temperature around her becoming cool… not too cold and not too warm. Plus her mind became clearer and calm.
"It's really as what you said!…" Anne exclaimed in astonishment.
She then looks at the pages she has to memorize in front of her screen and she was amazed that she was easily able to do it.
"Alright, I will wait for you in front of your school tomorrow… Okay?" Jisoo said as she went back to her room.
Back in her room, Sung Jisoo began thinking.
If she could get her hands on another jade pendant, she could easily enchant them and turn them into another Reiki gathering artifact. This idea is making her a bit excited. If she got her hands on many, then she would not need to worry about absorbing Reiki as the pendant would do that for her.
…
The next day…
Sung Jisoo wore a plain gray T-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans along with dark blue tennis. She looks very simple but fresh.
Before Anne Jing left home, she gave Sung Jisoo some money for her fare.
At noon, in front of Brightmoon University
Sung Jisoo enters the snack bar in front of the Uni where Anne Jing is studying at. As she enters the snack bar, she has already attracted a few gazes from the customers and students already inside.
"Wow… Look at the beauty…" a male student said while looking at Sung Jisoo from his seat.
"Damn… I think I'm in love…" another one said.
"Is she a student? I have not seen her before… Wait a minute… is she an actress or something?"
"What are you talking about? I have not seen her in any films or dramas… I think she is a new student…"
"If she is… then the Uni campus belle listing will change…"
The male students in the snack bar muttered to each other while stealing glances at Sung Jisoo.
"Look at her, she is not even wearing any makeup and she is already this beautiful… Sigh, heaven is truly unfair…"
"Her lips… I think it's natural pink, right?"
"She looks thin, but her body figure is quite good. Look at her thin hips and she even has a good bust."
"If I were as beautiful as her, it would be easy for me to marry a rich guy…"
The female students jealously look at her while also discussing.
Sung Jisoo heard all of their comments but she did not want to bother with them. She sees them as mere brats, not even half her true age, so how could she entertain their comments?
She just watches the gate and waited for her order to arrive.
It did not take long before her order arrives and she showed amazement upon seeing the curious meal.
She just casually ordered a hamburger and fries along with a soda.
Sung Jisoo has not tasted such a meal before even with her own memory. She could only remember the reaction of those people on TV when they eat these things.
She first tried the fries. It made her show a slight frown as she found them tasty yet she could also detect that their nutritional value is very low. Then she takes a bite of the hamburger and it made her feel a bit complicated.
It tastes good, a bit fine... if seldom eaten, but the grease on the meat is a bit heavy. Although she knew that it also has low nutritional value, she seems to be unable to stop herself from taking another bite.
"It… tastes good…" she muttered.
Then she looks at the soda and curiously took a sip.
With just one taste, her taste bud has already run amok which made her almost stand up from her seat and shout in exhilaration.
It tastes really good... and fizzy... and sweet.
"This is amazing…" she muttered with a bright smile on her face.
She knew that if this so-called soda could be produced using the natural essences of fruits, then it would be better to drink than those so-called heavenly wines.
In her time as a sect leader, she truly hated drinking wine. The reason for this is that it could make one not think straight. It dulls the senses and numbs the mind. And that is not something that she likes. One of the reasons why she is able to defeat many of her opponents, even an army, is because of wine.
Stupidity and numbness of sense would always lead to misfortune and the death of her enemies.
Although wine is a good way to control people and those below her... but as someone who rules over a large sect, she prefers drinking unfermented juice and nectar.
But now that she has taken a sip of the so-called soda, her heart and taste buds have already been conquered.
Unknown to Sung Jisoo, her reaction and her way of eating has already captured the eyes of the people around her. It was like… they are seeing a live advertisement for the snack bar where a very beautiful actress is expressing her love for the food that she is savoring for the first time.
Some even began taking pictures and videos of her as she slowly enjoys the food on her table.
The owner of the snack bar could not help but also take some pictures of the beauty before him.
