A 12 years old boy in a ragged clothes came out of camp, looking little bit of out of mood. As he was told that he do not have any talent for cultivation. Talent of person is determined by what type of physiques and spiritual root he has.
physiques determined how good your body can handle qi, for example if a person has good physiques he will not have any too much problem while breaking through realms.
And good spiritual roots determined the how fast your body can collect and refined qi and what type of qi.
The boy just stare blankly at the sky as if he lost all hope, but he quickly regain himself up from that state. As he walk along way, he saw many people around his age, some feeling joy and some with sadness.
The boy muttered under his breath only he can hear:" what does that thing matter, as if that can change anything".
But deep down in his heart he knew that thing matters for most people, people can get status, they can live carefree if they join any cultivation sect. most people will give them respect as cultivators are fear and respect by most people, they can fly and destroyed mountain ,and can decide most people fate.
As the boy sighs and muttered again to himself:" i have good affinity element but doesn't have any physiques and spiritual root".
And the boy who was muttering to himself was Theo and the place he came out was one the examination camp. Most cultivation sect recruits commoners from villages, towns and city of age 12-15 years of old.
The boy the walked out the area where the examination was held, as he walk to one the restaurant he was familiar to eat something cause his stomach was making too much noise. As he was approaching the shop one of the person eating at the stall shoo him and saying:" damned beggar go away, don't spoil the food" while shouting, "hey owner what are you doing kick the boy out". Anyone who saw Theo will think him as beggar because of his clothes.
the owner came running when he heard the voice thinking what was going on. When he came and saw one the customer shouting at Theo. He came next to the customer and said;" sorry customer, the boy is regular customer here". After saying that the owner took Theo to one the table to eat something.
As the owner took Theo to one of table to eat, the person twitched and said;" I lost my appetite to eat". as he slammed the money in the table walked out shouting;" hey owner the money is on the table". Theo look at the man walking out the restaurant and at the owner, the owner look at Theo and said;" don't mind him". During all this incident Theo never spoked or mind anything cause every time he came here to eat something like that happened. "Owner Shi, can i get a bowl of ramen please", after saying that Theo walk to the table and sit down. The owner of shop whom Theo call owner Shi cause he usually called that, heard what Theo said as he walk out and said" okay". After some time the food came as Theo ate the food and ask some extra so he can eat during dinner time. As Theo took the take out and walk out of the restaurant and walking out the town, so he can get to house and get some rest because of what happened today he was exhausted no
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
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

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.

Theo drag his body out of the stream to shore and laid back making the huffing sound.
