This was something that came from another world after all.
As people couldn’t ask Alayna more questions as soon as she closed herself in her small space, Elena became the target and she did her best to explain. As she grew up in a world with this type of technology, she smoothly answered and made it look like she learnt everything from her boss.
Alayna was quite depressed, after two days of receiving her current mission, she had only made around ten spirit stones and this wasn’t looking good for her at all.
This mission didn’t include the silver or the gold, it was only concentrating on the spirit stones and it was giving her a headache. In order to make herself relax, she posted another job recruitment, and this time she searched for two more people, another lady, and a man.
It took her two days to get the people suitable for the job and she picked mortal beings. She found a young girl around sixteen and who lived in a nearby village.
Her name is Sonya and she lives with her mother and younger siblings. Her mother is currently sick and needs treatment. She had not been married yet; her fiancé broke the engagement five years ago when her dad died of an illness.
Her family can’t be considered to be poor but it wasn’t rich either. The mother sells roasted sweet potatoes and other fresh produce, she owns two pieces of farmland and the produce is enough to feed the family.
Sonya’s younger siblings are two and one is a girl and another a boy. The two are currently studying but not in the same school as girls go to an etiquette school while boys learn to be scholars.
Those that have cultivating talents, will enter martial schools which are different from the schools for the mortal beings. It takes a lot of money to send a child to school and ever since Sonya’s mother fell sick, it’s been too much on her.
Sonya’s mother was lucky enough to join the stokvel program when it just started and it helped the family a lot. But with her sick now, the duties of protecting the family and raising money were now on her.
The other person who got hired was a man in his early twenties and he is a husband and a father to two children. The man is hardworking and he has been volunteering at the Hope Institute whenever he has time.
He was a good man, an ambitious and hard-working one. His name is Mathew and him and Sonya became the two additions to the staff of Alayna.

And the other reason why she picked the two was that these two didn’t need her to provide housing for her so they were a good choice for her.
These two signed a contract with her and the positions were settled.
With more people helping by her side, Alayna was at ease. When she was done with work, she would go and visit the institute. A number of people were donating, everyone was being taken good care of.
And above all, Alayna was very happy to find out that most of these people were very talented. The kids were being sent to school and in their spare time, they would sit with the elderly and learn how to sew, weave, and do other things.
Alayna saw some of the things that they all made and to be honest she was shocked. After a meeting with the staff, she agreed to let these people do what they do best and have the things sold off.
Selling these would bring income to the institute and the people there can be saved. They didn’t need any allowance as they all understood that they were not spending anything on the institute and were being taken care of for free.
With another source of income for the institute, Alayna was relieved.
In a low-tier sect named *****, this day was very special. It was the day that the outer disciples will be competing for advancement. If they advanced, they will be able to graduate and become official disciples.
And for them to advance, they only needed to advance to the martial apprentice intermediate stage (level 4-6).
The place was crowded and bustling with activity, most of the people there were only there to watch some fun, after all, most outer sect disciples taking the tests were all mediocre and from low-ranked families.
Most of them had red and yellow spirit roots and unless a huge miracle happens, it will be very hard for them to advance. Most of the disciples taking the test had been outer sect disciples for a long time and they have lost count of the times they have taken this test.
To a certain group of friends, this was the last chance that the sect gave to them. If they fail to advance this time, they will never get another chance again. This also means that once they fail, they will be kicked out and that would only mean disgrace which was worse than death.
The group of friends weren’t friends in the beginning, they became very close to each other thanks to their lack of talent. Born with weaker talents, they tried every single day to cultivate and improve, and yet things never worked out for them.
As years passed by, they kept on remaining behind and these leftovers ended up grouping with each other and becoming friends. They were a laughing stock, people mocked them but they persevered.
One day accidentally when they were out doing a mission to get some points for some pills, they wanted to use to have some breakthroughs. Who knew that they will come across the mysterious shop in the forest?
Their curiosity got the best of them, they didn’t own a lot of spirit stones but silver wasn’t an issue. So, when they bought the snacks and ate them, they were very shocked and happy at the same time.
The spiritual energy was just a lot that the group ended up not going for that mission and stayed close. For over one week, they bought food and ate it, and to their surprise, their cultivation also improved.
This advancement was being done two months from the time they began to eat the food; they weren’t the only ones from their sect visiting that place but it wasn’t a secret so anyone knowing that they frequent that place wouldn’t make their life hard.
On this beautiful day, these friends were anxious and also looking forward to passing. They already knew that they have passed that threshold, that rock that had been blocking their paths for many years was finally gone. But to just prove it to the whole world and show all those people that even them, the leftovers can do it was worth it.
So, the elders who were not looking forward to these disciples although the secret of the mysterious shop was out already, still watched as a formality when they stood on the platform to get tested.
They didn’t need to fight anyone; it was all about getting tested and advancing forward. It was only then can they really get accepted and officially call themselves part of the sect.
The craziest thing happened however, the elders and the senior disciples watched in awe as several groups of outer disciples passed as if it was an easy thing to do.
The craziest part of the whole test was to see the famous trash group that had been failing for years passing with flying colors. How was it possible for them to pass with not just one level but two in such a short period?
No one really cared about the new disciples that had been recently accepted in the sect. everyone was dying to know about how these wastes did it and when they received the answers that they were seeking for, they were all very shocked.
The elders were the ones who were greatly shocked. They have always thought that the shop was just a fluke and it wasn’t that serious. This was the assumption of other elders who had not eaten anything from this shop.
This wasn’t the truth for the elders who had taken a bite of the food and couldn’t stop eating it after that.
On this day, a lot of people learnt a great lesson and without her knowing once again, Alayna’s shop became very famous once more.
For someone who was crying about not receiving enough spirit stones for her mission, she was about to get her life changed hugely.
The world that Alayna is currently in is called Niafell and she is currently in the continent called Enethor, Iwarim kingdom, and lives in the Dark Forest.
The kingdom of Iwarim just like any other kingdom or country, there are several big cities as well as the capital cities.
The royal city of Iwarim kingdom is called Lagrasse, and it is in this city that the royal family lives.
