Ascension of the Immortal Asura

168 Luxurious New Home

The main lobby of his new home was incredibly grand, and its beauty stunned even John who was used to a life of luxury. The lobby was a dozen yards long and wide. The floor was made of pure white marble, while an incredibly luxurious crystal chandelier hung down from the high ceiling.

A small fountain existed at the center of the lobby, with Qi infused water spouting up and into its basin continuously. The mist from the water floated lightly in the air. John took a deep breath, and was immediately refreshed.

Two grand staircases spiral up at the back of the lobby to the floors above, and hallways on each side of the lobby led to other parts of the large mansion. Directly in front of the water fountain, a small pile of treasures lay on the ground, and there was a boy and a girl standing on either side of the treasures. They both appeared to be the same age as John.

The girl had brown hair down to her shoulders, and wore a black and white maids outfit, while the boy had short blonde hair, and wore a black butler's outfit.

John walked into his new house and towards the boy and girl standing in the center of the lobby. They appeared to have low cultivation's, at the early Mist Creation Realm.

'My perceptions on cultivation are becoming skewed. Such cultivations at their age would be quite normal back home,' John thought and chuckled to himself slightly.

"Greetings," The two of them said while bowing their heads slightly.

"Hi, you two are?" John asked curiously.

"I'm Francel, and this is Reya. We have been assigned to take care of your new house, as well as any other needs you may have," the boy replied.

John thought about it for a moment before nodding his head and greeting the two of them. He wasn't used to having maids and butlers, but he figured that would be quite handy in this new place he was unfamiliar with.

John's eyes turned towards the treasure pile between them. "What's this? Rewards for the entrance exam?"

"Yes. These are all for you. You may do with them what you like," Reya nodded her head and replied in a calm and gentle voice.

John nodded and inspected the pile closely. The first thing that caught his eye was the small pile of glowing crystals. They were each an inch across, and had various rough shapes. John picked one up, and immediately was able to detect it contained a dense source of natural Qi within. There were several hundred of them in the pile.

Although he had never dealt with them before, John knew these were spirit crystals. Elder Ragur had mentioned that they could be used for currency or cultivation. After inspecting the crystals, John looked towards several scrolls that lay on the pile of crystals.

He unfurled and read each scroll. Each scroll gave various details regarding the sect, such as layout, status structure, building locations, sect rules, and more. After finishing reading, John picked up several bottles that lay on the pile of crystals.

Opening each bottle revealed a small batch of pills in each one.

"That bottle there contains healing pills, that bottle contains cultivation pills, and that bottle contains Qi replenishment pills," Francel said to John.

"Thanks," John replied. He stored the rewards away and his eyes looked towards the final reward near the pile. He had spotted this object first, but decided to save the best for last.

His hand reached out towards the object, and his fingers gripped the smooth handle as he picked it up. John struggled for a moment before he picked up the object, unprepared for the weight of it.

"That scythe is a gift personally given by Elder Ragur himself. He told us to tell you, 'Good Job'," Francel said to John.

John closely inspected the scythe in his hands. It weighed twice as much as his previous scythe, and was dark blue in color. He could tell that it was made from a much stronger material than his previous scythe. Small lightning bolts were lightly etched into each side of the blade.

John ran his finger along the blade, and was surprised that it managed to cut his strong body. Its sharpness was beyond his expectations.

'Based on the weight, this seems to be custom made for me. Elder Ragur really went above and beyond here. This is exactly what I need right now!'

John was sure that the scythe was made specifically for him, mainly due to its weight. Scythe users were known for their nimbleness and agility, and their weapons would normally be light to accommodate for this.

Only John, with his incredibly strong body, used a heavy scythe, as his strong body was able to combine the terrifying agility and sharpness of scythe attacks with the devastating power of body cultivators.

John looked up towards Francel and Reya. "Is there any place here to test out this weapon?"

He was eager to test out his new weapon.

"There is. I will give you a tour of your new home. Please follow me," Reya replied in gentle voice.

John nodded his head and began to follow Reya as she showed him his new abode. His mansion contained several bedrooms, each with luxurious beds, linens, and washrooms. Paintings hung on the walls, and various statues of different beasts dotted the hallways and bedrooms.

The house also contained a kitchen, several living rooms, and study rooms.

The backyard contained a pool, a meditation platform, another water fountain, several artificial streams meandering throughout, and was lined with various trees in full bloom. Just looking at it made John feel relaxed, and a dense Qi emanated from both the pool and the streams.

"The pool has a formation at the bottom which gathers Qi from the surrounding air and infuses it into the water. Just swimming in it will be beneficial for your cultivation," Reya said to John, causing his eyebrows to raise in surprise.

"This place is paradise for cultivators," John stated out loud, causing Reya to chuckle slightly.

However, it truly was a cultivation paradise. Compared to his house back in his homeland, it was a night and day difference. After touring the house and the backyard, Reya led John to a staircase which led in the basement.

"What's down here?" John asked as they began to descend. His last encounter with a basement had been quite an ordeal.

"The basement contains a cultivation chamber, as well as a battle art testing area," Reya replied.

Before long, the two of them arrived in the basement, and John was once again shocked by the luxury of the Heavenly Lightning Sect.

The basement was dozens of yards tall, and nearly one hundred yards wide and long. In one corner, there was a chamber specifically for meditation, and John could feel a dense Qi emanate from it. The rest of the basement was wide open.

"Your meditation chamber functions the same as the pool. It draws Qi in from the surrounding air and condenses it, speeding up your cultivation. As for the rest of this open area…"

Reya suddenly sent a simple Qi attack towards one of the walls of the basement.

Boom!

The Qi attack collided with the wall, and many formation lines lit up, neutralizing the attack and protecting the walls. Not a scratch was left on the walls.

John's face lit up in excitement as he witnessed what had just happened.

"You can practice your attacks here as much as you want without fear of damaging anything," Reya stated in a gentle voice, causing John's elation to soar even more.
