A Cultivator in the World Dominated By Awakeners
Chapter 111 111: Meet Lisa
Despite appearing talkative, Arjun was quite quiet when Oliver focused on restoring himself to peak condition, understanding that he needed tranquility.
Oliver didn't have a hard time recovering; his Spiritual Energy returned quickly, but mentally, he wanted to feel more relaxed.
"Brother Arjun, are there many Cultivators who take the test on this Life Mountain?" Oliver began to speak.
"Not always, after all, this is only for Cultivators who understand the Orde of Life up to 10%. However, many life-force users, whether they are Cultivators or Awakeners, come here to seek opportunities," Arjun replied.
"Ohh, what kind of opportunities are there here, in this monster-free area?" Oliver asked with curiosity.
"Even though there are no monsters, the Life Mountain actually hides many treasures, from rare plants to various artifacts with life power that can help enhance the strength of those of us who have life power." Arjun smiled as he explained.
"Look at that tree over there..." He then pointed to one on the mountain.
It was a Banyan Tree shaped like a tree, so big that Oliver guessed it could shelter an entire village if placed in the middle of it.
Most importantly, it had a very tall trunk, unlike ordinary Banyan Trees whose trunks are not so tall.
"What's with that tree?" Oliver asked.
"On that tree, Heaven's Life Fruits sometimes grow. They are small and we need to explore it to find them. However, don't think it's easy. When we enter that tree, our bodies will shrink like an ant so that the tree becomes very vast for us."
Oliver showed a strange expression upon hearing they could become as small as ants.
"And our power too?" he asked.
"Yes, even though our power doesn't decrease, it also adapts to our small bodies. It doesn't make sense, does it? However, this is the Life Mountain. Our level is too low compared to that mountain."
"Then what's the benefit of that Heaven's Life Fruit?"
This was the first time Oliver had heard of it. It seemed too rare, so many didn't know about it and the information was limited.
But, it even used the name Heaven.
"It's to help us release a very massive power. You know, it's impossible for us to release power using our energy reserves like our original energy, but every time you eat a Heaven's Life Fruit, just one bite, you can release a super devastating attack that uses all of your energy and your energy reserves." Arjun explained calmly.
"You could say it's to give us a one-time chance to release a very powerful attack. Of course, those who don't have energy reserves can't do it. Strong Cultivators or Awakeners with life power will usually buy it at a high price. They don't mind exchanging it for high-level treasures or weapons."
"If I eat it, will it help me pass the test?"
"It's hard to say, it might help, but only a little. Some people eat it first before trying the test, but they still fail."
"I see..."
Oliver was quite interested even though the benefit was only slight. He wondered if he could find one if he looked for it.
After all, he had Void Sense, so his ability to find things was better than most people's.
"How about we go to that tree?" Oliver said.
"Ohh, are you interested in looking for one?" Arjun asked.
"Just trying for a bit. If I don't find it, I'll stop," Oliver replied.
"Okay, let's go there..." Arjun seemed happy.
After that, he guided him to the Life Mountain.
Quite remarkably, the mountain had many paths that were even layered with stairs, making it very easy to explore.
Oliver saw more people and some were just on dates.
This mountain also seemed to be considered a tourist destination.
Getting to the Banyan Tree didn't take too long when they moved fast.
When he was under it, Oliver realized it was bigger than when he saw it from a distance.
Many people were going down or up the tree.
If you want to go up, you need to climb it first while those who want to go down can just jump.
The good thing is, the tree has rope ladders so it's easy to climb.
However, the bottom seemed to be coated with a green light so Oliver couldn't see into the tree.
He spread his Void Sense into the tree only to be stunned.
When it entered the tree, his Void Sense really shrank so it only covered a very small area.
'So I can't observe it from the outside,' he thought.
"Oliver..."
Suddenly, he heard a woman's voice calling him from the side.
"Lisa..." Oliver was surprised to see the woman who called him, Lisa, his master's maid.
Even here, she was wearing her maid uniform.
However, considering the type of her power and that she couldn't even improve her cultivation, it wasn't strange for her to also be on this mountain doing whatever.
"Do you want to go up this tree?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah, I thought I might find some luck," Oliver replied with a slight smile.
"Oliver, do you know her?" Arjun asked in a low whisper.
Oliver gave him a slight nod while Lisa said, "that will only be a waste of your time. I just found a Heaven's Life Fruit. Usually there's only one and it takes time before another one grows. If you want to try the test, I will give you one piece."
"What?" Arjun was greatly surprised when he heard that and even more surprised when he heard Lisa would give it to Oliver.
Of course, Oliver was also quite surprised.
"I just hope you succeed and you'll share the rest of the Orde of Life with me, let's go to the top of the mountain," Lisa said again.
Since things were like that, Oliver naturally wouldn't bother entering the Banyan Tree. He nodded at Lisa and the woman led the way.
Oliver immediately followed behind her with Arjun.
"Brother Oliver, that woman, Lisa, is very famous. She's very cold, I didn't expect her to be willing to help you. I heard she is a maid of one of the strongest Cultivators. Here, almost no one dares to disturb her." Arjun said in a low voice.
"Her boss is my master," Oliver replied casually.
"So that's how it is, no wonder..." Arjun finally understood.
They passed the main path of the mountain, whose stairs were really steep but not difficult to climb. As long as he didn't look back, Oliver only felt like he was climbing regular stairs. However, when he looked back, he realized how high this mountain was.
Fortunately, they all had the power to move quickly.
When they reached the top, Oliver saw a vast meadow.
There, there was a concrete courtyard surrounded by various types of trees with dense branches and leaves so that the courtyard was almost invisible.
"Is it there?" Oliver asked Arjun.
The latter nodded and then, a handsome Chinese man came out of the courtyard with a sulky expression while sighing and shaking his head many times.
"Xiao Yun also failed," Arjun said.
"Who is he?" Oliver asked curiously.
He could feel a similarity between himself and the man.
Besides understanding the power of life, he also seemed to master another power suitable for attacking and that power had already advanced to the Earth Master Realm, only his life power was stuck at the Spiritual Master Realm.
Even though he was in his 20s, this didn't change the fact that he was a Cultivation genius.
"Xiao Yun is a famous Young Cultivator in China. I heard he even became a disciple of the strongest Cultivator who is also from that country. He is very famous for having an account on all major social media and often shares cultivation tips plus has a hedonistic life that he often shares. Even now he openly has four wives." Arjun explained.
Oliver didn't know what to say hearing that.
Four wives? He's truly a real man.
"Just a perverted idiot." Lisa suddenly interjected, seemingly not liking the man.
But, Xiao Yun seemed like a friendly type of man. Oliver saw he was friends with many people.
"Arjun." Apparently, he even greeted Arjun when he saw him.
He looked at Lisa too but as if he didn't want to interact with her.
However, after that he looked at Oliver, observing him from top to bottom.
"Dude, you look unusual," he said.
"Xiao Yun, he's my new friend, Oliver. He also wants to take this test..." Arjun introduced Oliver to the man.
"Ohhh..." Xiao Yun seemed more interested in Oliver.
"It's really rare to see someone so talented. You're younger than me yet you've already reached the Earth Master Realm," he said again.
"He's even more talented than you, his cultivation time is less than one month. He's my boss's disciple..." Lisa apparently spoke again.
When they heard that, Arjun and Xiao Yun only became more surprised.
Less than one month?
How could that be? After all, it's very rare for a Cultivator to be able to advance one stage in one month even from the First Stage of the Spiritual Master Realm to its Second Stage.
"Oliver, let's go..." Lisa seemed to dislike being near Xiao Yun, looking like she wanted to avoid him.
Oliver, of course, followed her when she stepped away because he needed the Heaven's Life Fruit from her.
"Do you know that man?" Oliver asked.
"Who doesn't know him. He flirts with every beautiful girl who comes to this mountain," Lisa replied.
"Ohhh..." Oliver showed a strange expression hearing that.
From the looks of it, the Chinese man seemed to have also flirted with Lisa.
Even though she wasn't that beautiful, she had a strong charm as a professional maid with a cold personality and seemed to be on a different level from other maids.
Some men might be filled with the desire to conquer a maid like her.
