In between the Nightshade forest and the Heavenly cherry blossom sect there was a road, on the road there where three qi masters running on the road they where the sect leader and the two elders.


    The sect leader had a calm expression as he ran, his elders on the counter part looked exhausted. This shows the endurance of the sect leader as one of the peak qi masters of his realm.


    They began to close in on the mountain where the Heavenly cherry blossom sect was located.


    ...


    Hei Jin Hua''s vows had been complete, as he got up he bumped into his nightstand causing his eyes to wonder to the book on top. It was a cultivation book that was given to him before his father left.


    He was interested of what was inside the book, so he sat down on his bed and turn to the first page. He began to read...


    <Chapter 1 - Basic Qi Cultivation Guide>


    <There are seven realms in total that we know of, each realm has four supplementary realms needed to be complete to progress to the next realm.>


    <The four supplementary realms are Qi accumulation, Qi compression, Qi absorption and finally Qi enhancement.>


    <Qi accumulation: It is the beginning stage of cultivation and Qi control, by accumulating the surrounding qi in the air, earth and sky and using it to expel the impurity''s in your body you can progress.>


    <Qi compression: Its the second stage where the accumulation of qi has reached its maximum and the accumulated qi in your body is used to condense into the qi core to and to improve it.>


    <This is also known as middle stage, it is a neutral position between the realms.>


    <Qi absorption: It is when the accumulated Qi is used to strengthen the body and soul further expelling impurities , with the condensed qi core as a base a lot more impurities are expelled for the next stage.>


    <Qi enhancement:It is the final stage and by successfully preforming this stage allows one to advance realms, by this time the body and qi core is as pure as can it can possibly be. Unlike the other supplementary realms this realm can not be achieved by just effort alone, a qi beast core is needed. This is the most unstable realm of cultivation and various materials are used to stabilize the ascension such as types of spirit plants and beast materials.>


    With that the chapter ended, this was very useful information. He turned the page slowly to the new chapter. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    <Chapter 2 - Talents importance>


    <Talent is a crucial factor in cultivation it is the amount of qi you can exert out of your qi core.>


    <Multiple things can influence talent such as heritage but luck is the main factor that influences the strength of your qi core.>


    <Talent can be classified in 4 different grades: Low, middle, high and extreme.>


    <Low grade: Low grade talent is from 13% to 39% , anything lower than 13% exertion is considered mortal and if they try to perform martial arts it can be deadly.>


    <Middle grade: Middle grade talent is the most common grade of talent and is from 39% to 72%.>


    <High grade: High grade talent is considered rare and is 72% to 95% exertion.>


    <Extreme grade: Extreme grade talent is an elusive talent and not much is known about it, it resides in 95% and above and cultivation can be unstable if not cultivated with caution>


    After absorbing this information, he closed the book, although the book went over cultivation it was quite vague with very little information about the different realms and such and he made it a goal to ask his father about it.


    With that he closed the book and walked to his door and as he opened it the sunlight crept in, with that he took his first steps outside of his room and admired the scenery.


    The heavenly cherry blossom sect was beautiful , it had snowy mountains in the distance with a delicate river running through them with a water fall at the end, which eventually creates a stream that gently reaches the sect as its water source.


    In front of the mountains was the Night Shade Forest where the sect leader was hunting previously, is look like a mirage with mysterious mist surrounding it.


    A few moments later his admiring can to an abrupt stop as the Sect gate was being crowded by many mortals who where welcoming the Sect leader from his hunting expedition.


    The gate swung open as the sect leader with great pride walked through, the people moved back creating space for the sect leader and the two elders to walk. The Sect leader greeted many mortals and qi masters as he walked breaking through the crowd.


    After the sect leader reached the sect hall, he ordered the sect elders to store the Wolf Kings materials in the hall storage section.


    With that the sect leader noticed his son watching him and signaled for him to come toward him, ever since he lost his wife from a poisoning he has had trouble raising his son but he always tried his best.


    Hei Jin Hua hesitated slightly before going over to his father,"father how was the hunting expedition?",Hei Jin Hua asked out of genuine interest, his father was quite taken aback by this.


    His son has been quite distant with him for years, he was ecstatic about this change "Son, It was great we reaped lots of benefits from this hunt, we even where able to find a realm 3 qi Wolf king which I slayed with ease."


    The sect leader had lots of experience hunting wolfs.


    After hearing this Hei Jin Hua was confused he did not know what "realm 3 qi beast core" meant but tried to sound surprised,"Really a realm 3 Wolf king how surprising!."Him not knowing what it meant that, he desperately had to learn more about cultivation.


    His father surprised again by his sons attitude, his joy gleaming across his face he began to speak,"Son if you are ever interested in cultivation you can always console me", his father was happy that his son show at least some interest. The future for his bloodlines cultivation as well as the sect''s future will rest on Hei Jin Hua''s shoulders one day.


    With that the Sect leader left, Leaving Hei Jin Hua to his own thoughts,"Wow, cultivation seems very complicated, fathers knowledge will be very useful, when he has time I will ask him to teach me all he knows!".


    After his day dreaming ends he looks to the horizon, this officially marked the beginning of Hei Jin Hua''s journey.
