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 routine, because he have to build his stamina and why 100, because it is one for immediate and stable result. before any follow up training.
After finishing his 100 Squats, Theo was dead tired, so he took 30 minute rest and start running. from his house to town is only 10 meters, so he decided that the route he will take will be that.
running approx. 30 min minute, he took rest. so that he can start swinging the sword. After taking rest Theo took the sword, still mesmerized how beautiful was the black sword, he notice that, there was something engraved in the handle of sword. Theo look at the engraving and read," Agerico, hmm, it must be name of the sword, let see what is written down," he muttered." drop a drop of blood, what does it meant" feeling confused and little bit of fear, Theo decided that he will take the risk so he drop a drop of blood in the sword to see what it will happen.
soon Theo will understand how lucky he was to get such a good sword. When the drop of blood met the sword, Theo felt connected with sword, but he doesn't understand the feeling of that, as he was knew in cultivation, we will find it out later, i guess.
Theo look at the sword, thinking something only he knew, pondering for some time, he decided that he would start swinging the sword. Yesterday while reading the old book, he learn that, the swinging of the sword and his breathing must synchronized. Thinking what was written and how it must be done, Theo start swinging his sword, like when he is swinging his sword up, he start breathing in and when he swing his sword down, he breath out the air he breath in. He start doing this for couple of times. after that he felt his hand numb from swinging,
Theo whispered," it 's not easy as it was in the book i guess i have to do this for a week and increase the number of swing every week",
finishing his workout Theo was too tired so he just lay down, and soon felt asleep,
After what seems like eternity, Theo woke up, sun was shining to the top, so he guess it was noon
soon his stomach started rumbling, so he got up and start preparing lunch for himself. while the food was cooking he went to the stream to wash the sweat he build up. While walking he can feel his body in pain, it was difficult to even walk. gritting his teeth he walk to the stream and took bath in the stream.
After doing everything he needed to be done, he sat down and took Golden body transformation technique. And start reading it.
It is divided it 9 stages, where 1-4 stages are called basic tempering i.e.
skin, muscle, vein and bones and 5-9 is called five treasure organ tempering. i.e. heart, lungs, spleen, liver, and kidney.
follow up from 9 stages, the page was thorn, Theo doesn't know who did it, but he felt lost thinking," how good this technique would be when it was complete." But Theo knows that even if he think or felt angry at who ever did it. it won't change anything. so he started looking at the breathing technique as he would need it for his body tempering technique.
The breathing Technique he brought was call zen breathing technique as he read the book, which start like this," everything is born from yin and yang, breathing itself is a form of yin and yang. you breath in and breath out. Everything is yin and as well as yang, so whatever you do synchronize your breath with it. Even if you walk and sleep. Every qi you breath has yin and yang. feel the qi in your air, differentiate it between yin and yang, only then you would understand the true meaning of life."
Theo was enlightenment by reading it. he understood what he had to do, but he didn't understand why this breathing was in low level common grade. but who would tell him, that every body can feel the qi but cannot differentiate it with yin and yang.
after reading the technique Theo start feeling the qi, and what seems like an hour or two. he soon feel the qi. feeling qi wasn't hard, guiding the qi to the body was heard. at start Theo felt difficult to guide the qi to the body to tempered it. but soon he get the hang of the qi and start tempering his body. Theo doesn't have any physiques and spirit root to cultivate but he has good comprehensive talent. he can comprehend any things if you give him some time, because of this he earn his livings. cause from childhood people taught him how to do, what to do and he learn it very fast. Even the people of the town was ask, whom they will choose from Theo or grown up man with good physical body. They will choose Theo, because they don't have to teach Theo over and over again. they only have to teach Theo once and he will know what to do, after sometimes he can do better than most people. That's why Theo learn very fast how to guide the qi to the body to tempered it.
As many would have a question. why not collect qi in your dantian instead of tempering it, because if you don't tempered your body and collect the qi, it would be impure qi and you would have difficulties while breaking through. so you need to refine the qi and to refine the qi you need to tempered your body.
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

He was thinking about how he should live from now on, as he got so much money, considering what he save over the years. it was 120 gold coin, which was enough for him to live comfortably for a year. Theo was just a kid and he doesn't have much to buy, so he was little bit reluctance to keep the money, nobody knows what troubles it might bring to him. just like now.When Theo reach outer area of the forest, the man who was following him block his path, and said to him," give me all your money and i might let you live,". Theo look at the man who was blocking his path.he remember the face of the man, as he was the guard who ask Theo for compensation when he was carrying the beast to sell at the gate of the town.He can see greed in the eyes of the guard, with little bit of fear Theo replied," why are doing this, i
