Cultivation tips

~Click~ That was the sound of the special door, especially made for cultivators who had greater strength than the average person, getting locked. The young man was still ranting about what he would do if he will be the master of his clan and the ruler of this village. For another half an hour I listened to him but then, after swearing for over an hour, I had enough of him and harrumphed loudly. He immediately shut up and with an uncertain voice if there really somebody was or if it was his mind playing tricks with him, he asked into the darkness: "Hello? Is there somebody?" Chuckling about his uncertainty and his fear, which I smelled across the whole cell, I said to him in a rumbling and raspy voice: "Yeah, hello there. I just want to talk with you."

Fe crawled into a corner and with a anguish voice he screamed to the guards that were supposed to stand duty outside: "Help! I want to be alone! There's someone in my cell! Anybody?" Unfortunately for him, due to my arrival with a flash, every guard on duty was sent to find out what had happened in the city. Only the lone boy was left here at the station, that was more like a house that had been renovated and with holes that had been dug down into the ground. But answering on the pleads of the adolescent, I said to him: "Boy, this will be a long night between you and me..." With that I cancelled the Vanish skill and I appeared with my robust-looking stature and the glowing eyes in the darkness, right in front of him.

"AAAHHHHHhhhh..., what are you?!" he screamed the air out of his lung and still wanted to continue but it wasn't possible since all air had left his lung. As I was standing directly in front of him, I was surprised by his outburst and jerked back by the volume of the scream. "HELL! BOY! You can't scream in my face like that. I am not that scary." Offended by his scream I had to slightly react, but then I remembered a movie called, IT, where the serial killer looked at other people as well from dark places where he first scared them shitless and then killed them. Mumbling to myself: "I am really not! I think..." The boy started sobbing. "I didn't do anything bad. Why did the devil come himself? WHY? It was her that invited me to her place." -sob- "Oh, come on boy, if I wanted to kill you, I would have long done so. The reason why I am here, is because I wanted to learn about cultivation and what the best way would be to cultivate. Would you be so kind as to answer me?" Fe had stopped sobbing and crying, but still didn't want to talk to me. "Boy, my patience is limited. I have a lot to catch up to, so don't try me!" Slowly after waiting for another five minutes, I waited for him to give me an answer but it really annoyed me. "Last chance. You better answer or there will be your family at stake tomorrow." Threats worked the best during medieval times and although we lived here in a country mixed with all the different cultures together, all from either the same or different time periods in the real life, for the people in here still had some medieval thoughts, even though they were a lot more further than those in my old world were in their way of thinking after the same amount of time.

"You evil spirit, why do you need body cultivation? You have the spirit constitution, you only can cultivate spirit techniques. None of them are found here. So scram!" The last bit was literally screamed and it seemed he had somehow found his guts again. Slowly it was getting annoying, getting called evil spirit all the time I appeared on the mortal world. Looking at one of my few de-buffs, I realised it had to be the reason why everybody called me evil spirit. It is the one I got at the very beginning, just after I merged all my race-changing items together. The weakened 'You are one ugly mother*cker' de-buff. I will be neither hunted down anymore nor will I lose any reputation for conversing with other NPCs but I will still be insulted or avoided. "Could you please avoid to use the word 'evil spirit', I have been called by it too much for me to endure." Although it was only two times that I was called like this, I still have my pride, you know. His facial features distorted, but he was able to spill out a 'yeah sure'. Obviously, the system wanted to f*ck with me, wanting the NPCs to order, say something like that or similar things to me. We will see about that you stupid system.

"Alright, first of all, I am no spirit" my emphasis was on the word 'no'. "Second, I have a cultivation technique, but I don't really know how to efficiently use it." That was partly true. I knew that sitting and meditating and concentrating about your inner self should help you with the cultivation. Just, if I wanted to rise my cultivation stage more quickly, I had to find a master that was able to guide me. "That's why I followed you, to find the cultivation master to help my training. You understand?" His head slowly began to nod and his answer didn't surprise me at all. "You have to sit down and meditate. Concentrate on your inner self. That should help you." he probably thought I was inattentive and didn't notice his smirk, but as I asked if he would like to tell the whole training plan, he realised that I had noticed that he left out some important information.

He nearly choked on his own smirk in shock: "Hmpf..., well..., it may be that you have to concentrate on what you want to achieve and you could use some herbs to help you breakthrough." At least I now knew what I had neglected before. "I will go now. Thank you so much for your half voluntary, half forced cooperation. I then stood up from the wet earth I had sat on as I walked long streaks of orange stayed behind for a short moment. Before I stood in front of the door, that was extra made that cultivators like him couldn't escape. He told me a negligible interest: "You can't escape from here, it is a safe door. It can't break at all. I was here a few times already and tried it." Annoyed by his way of thinking, I said to him with a loud and confident voice, wanting to teach him a lesson: "Nothing is impossible!" I struck the door with a bit of force, but let it look like it was a big burden me, and kicked it out of the ground it was buried in. "WHHHAAAAT?!" the young man from inside the cell started screaming from surprise. I rolled my eyes and casually walked out of the cell. Fe just stuck out his head and wanted to ask for my name as I used my ~Void travel skill. With his mouth agape, he saw me disappear into nothingness and only grey dust remained which disappeared as soon as it touched the ground. After I was gone, Fe walked out of the cell's door, and saw the heavy door, he wasn't able to move even a centimetre, and even the guards were only capable to do so, when they were over ten men, have deep dent in it. And the most shocking thing was, the door was at the other end of the room which was twenty metres away from the cell's entrance. Lifting his face to the heavens, he screamed not with fear like before, but with vigour and a deep desire: "I swear, will find you, monstrous man, and then, you have to teach me how to be this strong as well!" Then he disappeared into the night, fleeing from the guards' house, not wanting to get caught again by guards and scolded in the morning by his father.

Kishtan, who was currently standing atop of a roof in the cultivators' capital got a notification from the system shortly after he arrived.
