Chapter 80: It's So Pretty~
After everyone got their own cultivation manuals, they gathered near the entrance of the library, discussing with one another their experiences during the time they spent searching through the variety of books accessible within this grand library.
Following that, Asher looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, In this realm, time runs slower, so everything that happens inside takes less time compared to the time outside. Meaning, a month in this realm would be just a day in our world."
He further elaborated with a smile, "This means we can cultivate here with relative ease. There are many cultivation chambers that can help absorb spirit essence more efficiently and effectively than those outside. If you cultivate in these special cultivation chambers, then you can gather spirit essence faster."
Everyone listened to Asher explain the time difference and the cultivation chambers with eager interest, shining brightly from within their eyes, which could increase their cultivation and strengthen their powers at an unprecedented pace.
Aria was surprised, knowing that the time difference between this realm and the outside world was one day to a month. 'With such a time difference, an entire year could pass without anyone knowing.' She thought to herself while appreciating its benefits.
After making sure that everyone understood what he had told them about the time difference, Asher continued on with what else they needed to know.
Once he finished speaking, Asher glanced at all the women and discovered there weren't any more questions from his companions, signifying they didn't possess any doubts regarding this information.
Then he escorted everyone towards a separate building with many cultivation chambers. It looked similar to a tower but had a dome-shaped roof, making it appear even grander in appearance.
As the group entered inside, they were greeted by an enormous hall and a long spiral staircase leading to the highest floor.
"This looks even bigger after seeing it from inside." Maria exclaimed while marveling at her surroundings.
"Young Master, is this whole tower only equipped with cultivation chambers?" Nadia asked.
"Yes. Every floor refers to a particular cultivation level. You can see many rooms with closed doors on every floor. Each of those doors also has its own emblem, which represents different elemental attributes." Asher informed Nadia, who was beside him.
"Each cultivation chamber represents one of nine major elemental attributes, like Fire, Water, Wind, etc. So you can choose your cultivation chamber according to your elemental affinities. If you have an affinity for earth elements, you can cultivate in the earth attribute cultivation chamber, and so on." Asher spoke slowly, allowing his words to sink in.
The girls nodded in acknowledgement, indicating that they understood his explanation completely as well.
"Good, then let me show you the next place."
Soon afterward, Asher proceeded onward towards their next destination.
There were many beautiful mansions situated behind the massive tower they left. It was separated from it by a garden adorned with lush greenery and flowers, creating a breathtaking view.
He explained, "These mansions have all the necessary amenities. This way, if anyone feels exhausted after training, then they can retreat to their residences for rest."
'Wow, this is so cool! Having our own place here means we won't need to go back and forth from the mansion every time.' Mia thought in amazement as she appreciated this idea, realizing how convenient it was for everyone involved.
Olivia chuckled at her daughter Mia's expression, which reflected how excited she looked at having everything around them without worrying about traveling distances, as she remarked, "What do you think about this place, my little girl?"
Mia nodded ecstatically as she exclaimed, "Yes, Mom! This is beautiful!"
Lily cheered happily upon hearing Asher's statement and joined in the conversation by saying excitedly, "Yes! It's so pretty~"
Seeing her in such a cheerful mood brought a smile to Asher's face.
"So this was your plan all along? You brought us here in order to keep us from falling for other men outside, huh?" Lysandra said as she looked at Asher, moving closer towards him and circling her finger around his broad chest seductively, purposely provoking him.
"Stop being a tease, Aunt Lyssa." Asher responded dryly and thought. 'Just wait till we are alone; I will see how you tease me then.'
"Hehehe~." She giggled softly under her breath, making him roll his eyes.
Aria and Olivia just sighed while shaking their heads resignedly at Lysandra's playful attitude. However, the other girls smiled in amusement.
Asher continued walking with Lily still snuggled up against his chest. Soon, everyone arrived in front of an enormous mansion surrounded by a beautiful garden. It looked majestic yet elegant at the same time, as it overlooked a lake that stretched outward far into the distance.
When they entered its entrance, there was an elegantly carved fountain situated amidst colorful flower beds, which filled the air with delightful aromas, captivating everyone present with its beauty.
After walking across the stone path leading towards the main entrance of this mansion, Asher pushed open the door and went inside, with all of his companions following suit behind him.
Inside the living room, he put Lily down while looking at everyone present around him and said, "This mansion will be where we can all live together inside this realm. There are more than enough rooms for everyone."
He pointed towards the upper levels of the building before continuing his explanation, "On top of this mansion, there's a swimming pool. You all can take a swim anytime you want. Also, there's another separate area, which houses a hot spring with pure water containing healing properties."
Aria said delightfully, "It seems this place has everything."
Asher smiled at her words while nodding his head as confirmation. Then he turned back towards the others standing nearby as he announced, "Alright, ladies, you can go ahead and choose a room for yourself."
Everyone nodded in agreement at once as each woman began moving towards the stairs, eager to explore this new home.
They quickly ascended upwards towards the second floor before spreading out amongst the various rooms available within this large mansion.
