Elder Tyron escorted the group without any fuss along the way, and they reached Lunalith, which was bustling with activity.Oasis headed straight to his Bluefang Garden upon arrival, while Zane and Zion went to their respective courtyards.It was around noon when they arrived, and Elder Tyron informed them that they had to attend a banquet later in the evening after resting.Despite missing his sister Marina, who was staying at the Consano branch, Oasis didn't visit her immediately. He focused on resting, hoping to see her later."Wow, this place is still awesome," Oasis thought as he looked around the Bluefang Garden.It had been a long time since they had left Lunalith.Without wasting time, Oasis went inside and took a long bath in a wooden bathtub made from bamboo, located inside the main residence in the garden.For Oasis, it was refreshing and rejuvenating after surviving in Tir na Nog.Although it had only been two weeks in Verdantia, it felt like six months of surviving on bea
yawnOasis stretched and yawned as he woke up, feeling refreshed after his long sleep.He looked out from the large open window in his bedroom, observing the Bluefang Garden as the morning sun cast golden hues over the water features.Yawning again, he rubbed his eyes and walked to the living area of his residence, appreciating the big, comfortable seating pillows and the step below with a few guest seats.To the right was an open way to a mini library, and to the left, a sliding wooden door led to a mini treasure room.Near the main door, a beautifully arranged kitchen with a square table in the middle completed the cozy space."I've never really looked into this place fully, even when I was sleeping here before I went to the academy," Oasis thought."But now that I think about it, this place is really fancy."He marveled at the luxury of the Bluefang Garden, something he hadn't focused on before due to grieving Sir Elias and not spending much time in Lunalith."I have to go and see
Back at the Bluefang Garden, Oasis mused, "I've gained a lot of things in Tir na Nog, and I haven't checked most of them yet."His thoughts lingered on the egg Azael had given him."From the look of things, I was supposed to have already hatched it by now since Aya's has already hatched."After a lot of calculations, Oasis took out the token of the Bluefang Garden and activated the array, securing the garden from outside interference.He then took out the egg and placed it in a big round tray filled with flowers."So what now?" he thought. Without wasting time, he injected some of his mana into the egg.As his mana flowed into the egg, it began to shimmer and emit a faint glow, as if it had been dormant but was now being revived."Wow, I can feel movements as if it was dead but now suddenly revived," Oasis thought as he felt something stirring inside the egg.After a few minutes, he realized the egg was no longer absorbing his mana."Huh, what happened? Is it full for now?" Oasis wond
Marina was ecstatic to see Oasis after such a long time, and Oasis felt the same, despite feeling embarrassed.Memories of growing up under Marina's care flooded his mind, making him feel at home after a long time.Marina dropped everything she was doing to catch up with Oasis. They exchanged words, with disciples in the Consano Association surprised to see Marina so happy.Some whispered, wondering if they were mother and child, while others found the display of motherly love endearing.After a few hours, Oasis had to return to his garden to prepare for the banquet. Marina informed him that it was postponed and scheduled for the current day.As Oasis reached his garden, he found Zane waiting at the entrance of the small bridge."Fool, I've been waiting for you for ages here," Zane said, speaking to Oasis."Oi, Zane," Oasis waved his hand.Zane looked like a noble, just as he did when they first met."I won't be staying here," Zane said, taking a robe and shoes from his storage bracel
Evening came, and the main estate was bustling with activity.The grand hallway was adorned with exquisite tapestries and chandeliers, casting a warm, golden glow over the gathering.Inner disciples and elders mingled, their conversations a blend of greetings and discussions about recent events.The air was filled with the aroma of fine cuisine and the sound of clinking glasses.Elders and leaders from the top 20 strongest first-class families in Lunaris were present, each accompanied by their inheritor.Nobles from Lunalith, branch leaders of the Consano Association, Factum Guild, and the Peculia Merchant Association, all added to the grandeur of the occasion.People exchanged greetings and conversations, their curiosity piqued about Oasis, rumored to be the leader’s disciple.After a few minutes since the banquet had started, Zion entered the hall. All eyes turned to him, the famous genius of the Bluemoon family."Isn't that Zion? He's as impressive as ever.""Indeed, the Bluemoon f
The whole place fell silent, eyes wide in surprise and shock."Huh!" Lia gasped, her eyes fixed on Oasis.Oasis bowed his head to pay respect. Most people who didn't know him were astonished.Oasis was a whole realm ahead of Rogue, who was a year older, and everyone was amazed that he hadn't even used his mana to win the duel.From Oasis's perspective, Rogue was just in the second layer of the Newborn Realm. The difference between the Tabula-Rasa Realm and the Newborn Realm was vast.Reaching the Tabula-Rasa Realm meant fewer but more significant layers, each split into major and minor layers: beginner, intermediate, and advanced, with each major layer having five minor layers.The power difference between each minor layer was noticeable. Oasis was at the Tabula-Rasa Realm, intermediate, 3rd layer.Unlike other cultivators at the same level, Oasis could fight and kill those in the advanced layer of the Tabula-Rasa Realm and even battle on equal footing with those at the peak level.
As the sun began to rise, Sect Leader Conri left Oasis's garden after a night-long conversation.It was the first time they had talked for so long, and for Oasis, it felt like a parental talk rather than just a disciple-master discussion.Despite everything that had happened to him, Oasis realized he had a place to call home. "I feel like a huge burden has been lifted after talking with the Sect Leader," Oasis thought as he looked at the rising sun in his garden."Wow, life can be awesome at some point," he mused before deciding to head out into the streets of Lunalith.Still dressed in the same attire he wore to the banquet, Oasis looked just as pristine, despite not having slept and participating in a duel.As he ventured into the city, he noticed the hustle and bustle of the early morning.People were setting up their stalls, opening their shops, and the aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air.Merchants called out their prices, and city guards patrolled the streets. The city
"It was an honor doing business with you, young master Oasis,"Malic said after concluding the transaction, handing over storage bracelets filled with mana stones, while the gold coins were safely stored in Oasis's bracelet ring."This kid just sucked us dry of our mana stones," he thought."Oh, young master Oasis, here,"Malic said, handing over a golden token with the symbol of the Pecunia family."This is a VIP token for the Pecunia Merchant Association. You can use it at any branch." he explained further...The VIP token granted Oasis several privileges, including priority service, access to exclusive goods and auctions, and special discounts on transactions.It also allowed him to skip queues and have direct meetings with branch leaders for high-value trades."Thank you, Sir Malic," Oasis said as he left the place. By the time he walked out, a few hours had passed, and it was already around noon."That was easy. I got the stones I needed quickly," he thought as he called out for a
