After walking for one and half hours, Theo finally reached home. first he kept the book and went to the nearby stream to freshen up so that he could rest well, as who wants to rest all sweat in his body. Even though he didn't do any manual work, he walk from town to forest.
After freshening himself up, Theo sat down to read the book. It was evening as the examination took all day.
Theo open the book as he started reading the book happily as he thought it was fortune for him to get cultivation technique for free, "Day 1 : I started my training by swinging my sword 1000 times.....".
"fuck you Old man", shouted Theo clutching his heart as if he is in pain," ahhh..., this fucking old book is not a cultivation technique its a fucking diary"
A low level common cultivation techniques price is around 10-20 gold coin above common cultivation technique people can't buy it, and which is rather high price for Theo. He thought he got a cultivation technique even if he can't learn atleast he can sell the technique
Now neither he can sell the book nor cultivate with the help book. Anybody can understand how much pain he was. All day it was misfortune for him, and when he thought goddess of luck has smile upon him it turn out it fucking useless old book.
still, Theo clutch his heart and started reading the old book, thinking that what surprise he might get after all it was freaking diary of an cultivator. He doesn't know how powerful was that cultivator.
Theo started reading the book again, after reading for sometime there was frustrated look in Theo face, anybody who read the book will understand Theo frustration.
"fuck", Theo cursed out loud and talk himself," who in the fuck do the same thing for over a week, slightly increasing the number of swinging for over a years, fuck this shit" ,as Theo throw the book down.
"that fucking old man if i meet him again i am gonna rip his beard and hair, ahhh.... , calm down Theo, calm down," as he talk to himself in frustration.
After calming himself down for 5-10 minutes, he pick the book and started reading again.
After reading for 1 hour, he look at the sky as if he got some enlightenment and after sometime looking at the book," i guess i should start practicing from tomorrow onwards", Theo muttered to himself," oh, i have to buy a body tempering technique and a sword for myself", after saying that Theo look at the pouch in his hand where there is only 17 gold and 50 silver coin.
It is Theo savings from child till now which he earn from doing menial work like helping in farm, doing odd jobs like delivering stuff, etc. Theo was orphan so he have do this work so that he can live without hunger, as his parent die when he was 5 years old to the beast, while collecting wood in the outer area of forest.
After his parent died, officer from city lord mansion took everything saying his parents was in debt so they have to take his property. without home and food at the age of 5 Theo have to do odd job for his livings, since childhood. so almost know Theo, they ask him for his help in exchange for money.
*************************
In some far away in the inn of the town an Old man sneezes and muttered to himself," am i getting sick or someone is cursing behind this Old man back, i am getting too old to bother with this".
as the old man sigh, and started thinking about the young boy he met in the outskirt of town," can the boy cultivate as in the book, or not. by the way who the hell can cultivate as in book only the madman ". After thinking about the boy for sometime the old man started meditating in the bed.
When Theo lay down in the floor and making plan for tomorrow, it was slightly dark outside. He got up and start making food from some left over meat, that he kept when hunting yesterday. Theo used to hunt small beast like Rabbit and rat and sell his pelt and meat to earn his living, Cause he can't always do odd jobs, especially during winter. Most of his earning from odd jobs comes during the spring and Autumn where there used to be lot of work. and it is beginning of the spring season when most of the sect used to recruit new disciple. As Theo wait for the left over meat to cook, he went to the place where the trap he set up was. as Theo check all the trap, he said to himself," no luck, ha.. i guess it is the start of the spring season, most of the animal didn't get out of their build, knowing how cold was the winter,". He sigh and feeling little bit dejected he went to his home. Theo's house look like shed, where there is
While walking towards the shop from where Theo wants to buy the body Tempering Technique is called, Martial Pavilion. Martial Pavilion is a widely known pavilion for selling Techniques and it is established mostly in all town and city of the kingdom. They mostly sell low level cultivation Techniques because high level are too precious only few sects have. The techniques are divided into :- common, earth, Heaven, divine, etc. Each division is divided into sub division:- low, mid, high, peak. "what a fool i am, i forgot that i have to buy breathing Technique too," Theo muttered to himself while walking to the pavilion. yesterday while reading the old book he learn the realm of cultivation and how it is divided. i.e. Body tempering/ foundation building Qi refining core formation Nascent soul soul core formation soul body formation Immortal Realm, etc. He also learn that anybody can cultivate, they o
After buying everything he need Theo went to his house..... Keeping everything he bought in his shed, Theo started making training plans. and it goes like this 100 push ups 100 pull ups 100 squats 20 Km run 1000 swinging of swords and body tempering. why there is no need for training of breathing technique is because breathing technique are use in a way to guide qi to their body and to the dantian, so that's why he can only used breathing technique to tempered his body. so there is need for it. Theo start taking his upper clothe so that he won't drenched his cloth with sweat. As he look at his body, he can see that he doesn't have any muscle, he is a skinny 12 year old boy. he doesn't look malnourished. after looking at himself Theo start doing his training according to routine he make. He usually get tired after doing push up and pull up, till then he didn't give up. as for why he is doing this ro
When Theo open his eyes from his body tempering, the sun was about to set, So he got up and when to check his trap. There he caught rabbit, and a rat, Mostly in three traps out of 5 he placed got something and in two traps, there was nothing. so he took the hunt clean it in the river, wash the meat, kept the pelt, and started cooking the meat for his dinner. Theo ate the meat and when to sleep, as it was harsh day or you can say tiring day. He woke up early in the morning and started doing his daily routine of training. It is two week of training when Theo started it. He can feel many changes happening to his body. In body tempering he was at Third stages, where he have to tempered his vein from qi and open up 8 meridian so that he can tempered his bone and five treasured organ. During this time he went to town once only to tell old man jiang that he won't be coming to the work for one month. He also increase his number of swing from 1000 to 10,000 sw
This is the third week of the month, and it was early in the morning, when Theo woke up, and went to the stream to fresh up, he look at himself at the water and check his body, Anybody can see the changes in his body, His muscle are tightly pack, it isn't too much of muscle like gym guys, till then his body was well defined. If he wear his clothes nobody will see that changes, but when he removes his cloth anybody can feel the well define body of his. After washing himself up, Theo went back, ate his breakfast, and start doing his daily routine of Training. While doing the exercise of pull ups, push ups, etc. he doesn't see any noticeable changes, so he decided that he will stop doing this exercise, and he will only swing the sword and practice the one slash move from the way of the sword. As usual, after finishing his training, which was noon Theo took some rest and ate his lunch. finishing what must be done, Theo start tempering his body, It was in the last
huff huff, huff, the rough breathing of someone can be heard all over the forest, it was so loud as the person in question, was doing it on purpose, the said person was obviously Theo, after killing the beast/ black brown bear. Theo drag his body out of the stream to shore and laid back making the huffing sound. It was Theo first battle, and it was the hardest battle of all, and as well as Theo regret not bringing his sword, because it would be a little bit easy, with the black sword, over time during the practices, Theo notice that the black sword was too sharp, and feel regretted and thankful for the person who sold it without knowing anything. It was already dark, when Theo decided that it was best to go home, so he took the from the beast eyes. And start skinning it, many might been confused as how did Theo learn the hunting skill, Theo doesn't know any hunting skill, he knows how to place trap and skinning, it was his first hunt. that he
Theo was walking back to his house, after cleaning himself up, in a deep thought, and confused look in his face. He was still confused as why did the Black Gu substance came out of his body, thinking that he didn't even complete, forget about complete, he wasn't in the late stage of body tempering, why. he was pondering very hard, his heart was confused, it was etching for the answer, but there was no one to answer. as he whispered in his own thought," did i do something wrong while cultivating it, or is it because of Golden body Transformation, as i can see that my skin are smooth and soft. hmm then it must be because of golden body transformation technique." But who would tell him that bone tempering is the last stage of body tempering, Every cultivator after tempering their bone, refined their qi. But it isn't Theo mistake for not knowing that, as he was ignorant 12 year boy, who just started his life as a cultivator. He will soon learn everything about it, with time.
Afternoon, outskirt of town. Theo was walking toward the town, while carrying the black brown bear on his shoulder. He was nearing the town, when one of the guard stop him," hey stop, where do you think you are going, carrying such big, without any compensation," the guard smirked and said to Theo. Theo, who was never ask to compensate anything from the guards, while entering and going out of the town, was confused, so he put down the Bear and was ready to speak, when one the guard spoke," bring that boy here, as well the beast," it was the chief of the security guard. Theo went to the chief carrying the beast, " boy where did you get such big hunt," the chief guard said in shock, he never question the strength of Theo for carrying the beast, as most people learn body tempering to carry out their duty more efficiently, but was shock because to hunt such beast you need expert hunters. "chief Lan, i saw this bear dead, near the stream, i guess he was ki
