First Day of Training

The next day Lei Long started his first day of training. Lei Long found Master Shen next to the almost unbreakable wood and said: "Okay Lei, let's start the warmup by chopping some wood." Lei Long's face darkened, but he didn't say anything. Picking up the ax he tried to do what he did last night. It was midday when he finally chopped it in half. Master Shen was surprised "Yesterday you took all day but this time you only almost half the time, good job." Lei Long was too exhausted to respond and just sat on the ground wheezing. Master Shen didn't wait and said "Next we will meditate and cultivate, meditating will clear your mind allowing more devotion to the circulation of your Qi. Let me demonstrate." He sat down and started a breathing pattern. "This is a regular breathing technique it will help calm your mind while allowing better circulation throughout the body at is a very common technique and will be good for your first one, later I will teach you own technique." Lei Long followed Master Shen's instructions and performed the same breathing pattern. Master Shen then instructed, "Now run your cultivation technique while doing the breathing technique." Lei Long didn't want to show anyone this technique but he had a feeling that Master Shen won't do anything, and even if he didn't trust him, Lei Long can't run away anyways. The Primordial Qi started rapidly rushing into Lei Long's primordial spirit meridians and flow into his Dantain. Master Shen gasped as he thought "What is this, I've never seen any Qi like this, my law of Dao, is this the reason it's shaking right now?" Master Shen compiled his thoughts and asked Lei Long "What is this Qi, I know you probably want to keep it secret, It's your choice to trust me or not." Lei Long went silent, after a while he looked at Master Shen "This Qi is called Primordial Qi, I was a cripple until recently but my body underwent a change and a technique popped in my head which was the one I just used, It also told me that if a person other than me tries it they will explode." Lei Long was very scared, "Will he turn on me to get the technique?" To Lei Long's surprise Master Shen didn't do anything and explained "My Dao acted weirdly when I found you and even now it's still acting up, I believe my Dao is acting up because this is fate, we met because of fate and I took you as my first disciple. I will not go against my Dao or my ideas to try and get something from you. Lei Long, you are my disciple so I won't force you to do anything even if you have something special or try hiding things from me." Lei Long was moved. He never really had a father figure, when he was with the Song family they treated him well but it seemed forced in a way, but here Master Shen showed real compassion to Lei Long which he had never gotten before. After a bit of silence Master Shen said "Okay, I will now teach you my breathing technique the Nadi Shodhana or Alternate Nostril Breathing technique it will allow the Qi to run through the pathway in an alternative pattern in and out allowing the strongest Qi to run into the Dantain while the weaker ones run out and nourishing the body in the process allowing a person to cultivate the body as well. It might make cultivation slower but it will increase the effectiveness of your cultivation time." He started running the technique while the Qi rushed into the meridians. Lei Long observed that there was Qi of lower quality running out of Master Shen's nose as he cultivated. After an hour of teaching the technique, Lei Long reached the beginner part. Master Shen was shocked "It took me 3 days the get to the beginner version of the technique and my master called me a genius but you... nevermind I have been noticing, I think your body hasn't undergone the whole change you told me about. It seems stuff from the way the Qi flows in your body, as far as I have observed." Lei Long wasn't shocked, he knew from the inheritance of knowledge that his body hasn't undergone the full change, only his meridians, Dantain, partial soul potential and a partial increase in brain potential has been unlocked by the primordial Qi. He hasn't cultivated until recently and Primordial Qi is as its name implies Primordial or crazy the only reason he can use it is that he was given the inheritance of the body. Each realm he will unlock a certain part of his body. Body refinement was meridians, Dantain, and the partial brain potential, Soul refinement gives partial soul potential, Qi Condensation gives the muscles and bones, Core Formation gives the skin, Core Refinement gives the full brain potential, Nascent Soul formation is the soul. Afterward, it's continuous refinement and increase of power of all the body parts. Lei Long and Master Shen finished the day and Lei Long stated before going to bed "I am going to reach Qi condensation realm tomorrow." Master Shen was shocked as he had never heard anyone directly tell they were going to breakthrough.
