Zhihui breathes out as she stops channeling gravity into her body. Beads of sweat went down her face, she cleans her face with the sleeve of her dress. She has won the battle and has learned a lot of things from it. She needs to continue to learn and improve if she wants to change the future.
"When I get home, I should go into close cultivation and improve my skills in my weaker elements. Maybe get lucky and make them my own"
She said, as she never got lucky in her past life to make her own unique skills. Her cousin did not give her the luxury of having the resources or the time to do so. She can imagine how her cousin will react knowing that she got her talents back.
A soft evil smile appears on her face as she grabs the two artifacts that lay on the floor. Putting the liquid steel on her personal storage ring. While that artifact can also be helpful for her cultivating her metal element. She could not take all the treasures for herself, that will be too selfish of her when Mors was happy to stay back to mine some of the crystals for her future.
Mors seems like a martial-oriented person, as she has not seen him using any mythical art. So, he can find a better use for the liquid steel. But she slowly focuses her eyes on the earth's elemental soul in front of her, this thing will for sure help her cultivation of the earth element. Just like the wind element soul did for her back in the free city of Quhai.
As she slowly puts the earth elemental soul into her personal storage ring, she started to walk out of this flooding cave room. This was not a great place to cultivate when the danger of the whole room flooding lingers at the back of your mind. She can more easily and safely cultivate on the surface with the protection of Mors.
She walks out of this room in fast steps, using her QI to push the water out of her way. Arriving at the beginning area, she looks up at the hole that connects this cave system to the crystal mine. She jumps up gathering the air beneath her feet, using them as platforms.
She uses these air platforms to rapidly jump towards the hole, as she reaches the hole, she grabs its rough edges with her hands. She twists her body, making her legs and lower body enter the hole first before letting go. Letting the force of gravity pull her body in.
As she lands softly, she started to walk toward where Mors should be. But before she even gets close to the Mors area, she could hear mining entering her ears and bouncing off the rough walls. As something strange enters her vision.
It was Mors mining one of the spirit crystals, but there was something wrong. As she rubs her eyes to make sure she saw correctly, yea it was Mor's mining, but he was transparent and yellow in color. The same color as when he summons weapons.
"Mors? What happen?"
The yellow Mors does not respond, as it's not within its mission. As it continues to mine the ore. Worry washes over her heart as she walks close to inspect the situation. She takes a step forward, and the yellow Mors stop mining, as the ore breaks free from the wall. Landing on the ground.
The yellow Mors grabs the fallen ore and starts to walk in the same direction where she left Mors. Curiosity got the better of her as she follows this yellow Mors. Doing so walking past countless other yellow Mors. All mining, as she passes by more Mors. She slowly came to realize what was going on.
If her hypothesis is correct, this elevated Mor's effeteness by a couple of points. Soon she was proven true, as she arrives with the yellow Mors in front of a non-yellow Mors, or just the original Mors. Who was also mining some of the ore with the rest of his summons.
As the summon Mors arrives in front of Mors, it lay down the ore, and it disappears. The next second a new summon Mors appears, as it walks past her, in search of a new place to mine. Seeing this, she could not help but smile as she looks at the sweating Mors.
The upper part of his dress was open and hanging from his waist. His muscular brown body was in front of her, with well-defined muscles. Sweat runs down his sculpted body, he really did look handsome. But what really made her heart skip a beat, was not his muscles. But the warm smile he gave her once he notices her presence. There was something comforting about that smile, his masculine voice waking her up.
"You came back fast; I was expecting you to explore for a full day"
"Um.Oh Yea! Well, I found a cave system under this mine. It was mostly empty with some glowing mushrooms, there were a few weird monsters. But after dealing with them, I found these two artifacts."
She said as she made the artifacts appear in her hand, she tosses both over. As Mors puts the pickaxe, he bought it from the system store on the ground. He grabs the two artifacts with his sweaty hands. His eyes landed on the artifacts he smiles a bit, as he handed one of the artifacts to her.
She grabs the artifact, as now laying in her hands is the soul of the earth elemental.
"You can have that; it would be a lot more helpful for you. I can't cultivate [Mythical art]"
"Ha, I guess we are in the same boat. I can't cultivate [Martial Arts]"
"Two sides of the same coin"
Mors said as he looks at the vile with the gray liquid inside of it, this could prove to be useful. Liquid steel can be used to improve [Martial Arts] and make it your own. As he stores the artifact, he looks at her.
"So, for how long we will stay here?"
"Well, I was thinking that we can mine the whole day today. Then leave tomorrow to the city, to get recognized for our achievement and go to my home"
"Sounds good, but you really do not need to mine, me and I can handle it"
He said with a small laugh as he continues.
"You can go outside and cultivate the artifact; I will send 5 of my summonses to protect you"
"Alright, that sounds good, and don't push yourself too much. Don't need to work yourself to the bone"
She said, feeling a bit about making him do all the work. But if he wanted to do it then she could not force her own will against him. Maybe she should make him something to eat for when he finishes, she was sure he would appreciate it. As he walks past him, she pats his shoulder and smiles softly, bewitching him for just a second.
As her foot's steps slowly move away, Mors wakes up and makes five new summonses, and sends them to follow her.
'Alright back to mining!!'
He screams in his mind as he continues to mine, wanting to use this moment to cultivate a bit more. As he hasn't gotten any stats from his cultivation recently, even after all that fighting.
