Mountains

While leading everyone back through the labyrinth several times to move everything from the treasure room of the tomb back to the carriages, once they became familiar with the route Ki began to walk down the other parts of the labyrinth which was filled with even worse types of traps which nobody could avoid.

Where there was a pitfall behind it was another type of trap so once someone figured out the first traps function and jumped over they would most likely die because of their rash decision and lack of caution.

Thanks to Ki's experience she was able to dismantle many more traps and their trigger mechanisms in each dead end of the labyrinth.

By the time she was done she had collected many flammable powders and liquids which were inside a cylinder container, several containers that held many poison powders within that would fire the powder out upon being triggered and many other crossbows and other useful traps.

Whether it was for making the 'forest of death' even more dangerous for invaders or providing more defences for the walls or to keep people from entering her private rooms that were strictly banned from entry within the mansion.

Where her research or important things were stored and could not been seen by anyone, Ki did not have many additional safeguards to keep the room from being entered but now she had the pressure plate trap mechanism and many other useful things that could be put to use in case someone intrudes in the room after she has left the room and locked it behind her.

Not only had Ki gained enough weapons to arm her own private army but she had also gained the poison ivy for the next stage of her poison qi arts, the flame emperors wealth and treasures to support any future businesses and expansions without the need to make requests of the family, the qi booster pills which are rare and only usually are available to those with heavy resources and someone to make them without any flaws and finally the traps.

Marilyn had gained the flame emperors martial arts, qi art and body tempering art which will greatly help shape her future and let her break through after gaining enough through practice.

She also acquired new weapons to help improve her combat ability but Ki had also made several plans in her mind to boost Marilyn and her organisation in various ways now that the treasures and money had been acquired.

Lumi had gotten a temporary replacement for her own sword but while she did not gain much she had gained a vast amount of knowledge about different dangerous things in the world.

To someone who had been isolated to be able to learn about the traps, tomb exploration, dangerous types of plants trees or poisonous herbs and the dangers of letting down one's guard when sleeping out in the open during a journey these were all valuable things to be able to expand her knowledge and increase her survival abilities.

When Ki first met Lumi she did not even flinch as a sword was pointed at her throat but now she was actively seeking out knowledge to better help with survival and to increase her usefulness.

Lumi was a little dependant on Ki and remained to be the same during their time together so when they were together she was often referred to as Ki's tail by others but she still was beginning to show signs of improvement lately.

This trip out together greatly helped to improve their bonds but also helped everyone to gain something new that could greatly influence their future.

The funds gained from the tomb would be enough to start up several types of businesses and also expand them outward to different places and still have lots to spare and not only that but the treasures would definitely be able to be sold at a high price.

Even if some of the treasures couldn't be sold legally they could still appear on the black market and sell for high prices.

Ki and those that helped her had robbed several large sects, organisations, noble families and alliances of their gains in the future that could of changed many fates and helped to overcome a crisis or solidify their status within the world.

The new evil flame swordsman would not be born within this era anymore, the sects and noble families of the various alliances no longer gained the abundant funds to support their goals and most importantly the clash between the sects had been prevented since once the tomb is discovered in the future it would already be empty.

Although it would be beneficial to see those forces clash and fight it out over the treasures, the gains from the tomb were enough to cover their losses.

If the various sects and alliances clashed in the future, Ki hoped that while they did lose a lot of important people or forces they would not gain much in the process to be able to quickly recover their strength.

This tomb provided too many benefits to most people so it was best that Ki completely removed it from the world so that nobody else could get anything from it but herself.

After spending the night outside of the cave and having a meal together, Ki continued to explore the mountain area.

Ki collected many more poison ivy from the mountain area and continued to explore the bottom slopes of the mountain area and came across many types of fruit trees and vegetation.

She immediately began to collect several fruits and seeds from the trees and keep them safely stored away.

As she travelled further up the slopes of the mountain area she was met with many pine trees and harvested many pine cones to take back with her.

As she got further up the slopes she came across many alpine flowers which she carefully harvested and began to collect many seeds.

Ki collected many of them but made a note of their location for to come back later with the others in the morning.

She continued to look around and as she headed back down she continued to keep an eye out for any wild fruit trees, wild herbs or vegetation that may be useful.

Within this mountain was a treasure trove of items that were later taken advantage of by many influences.

The alpine flowers were later taken advantage of by the Lenus noble family of the martial alliance and their fame increased thanks to their contribution and advances on medicine to the world.

Alpine flowers became later for their use to treat internal and external bleeding, bruises, vomiting, convulsions and disturbed sleep but the leaves could also be used to make a herbal tea with the leaves.

While all of the parts of the plant had many uses medicinally, many of the uses for treating women's complaints, such as easing period pains, pregnancy and menopause became the most highly regarded contribution for the Lenus family.

Many females all over the world offered their gratitude to the Lenus families contribution to the world.

This also caused the Lenus families image and wealth to rise by a large amount after the discovery.

Ki ignored the wildlife within the mountains like the wild goats, deer, elk and sheep then continued to go back to the camp after marking several points on the map that she would return to and that she had missed.

After she had returned she put away the things she brought back, fed her horse and then entered a deep sleep.
