Qi cultivator

The Black earth and sky sect was located within the city limits. Unlike the large and medium sects who owned large plots of land rich families and smaller sects or schools would locate within the school both to improve there protection, trade and access to students.

Among all the sects, schools and families the black earth and sky sect was honestly quite laughable. In all the years Master Lee only accepted his grand daughter. While she did quickly reach the peak of Qi refining, the focus was never martial instead the pair would refine medical pills.

These pills not only covered the local cost but allowed some protection. Medical products where rare and to have producers in town was something that could draw attention, as such even the small pill producing sects like the black earth and sky sect felt some security.

This however did not extend to the younger generations. Andi was often safe, cute and light hearted few within the city boarders would stir trouble. Atom found quickly that such formalities would not be extended to him.

It began with taunts, but the nature of the students quickly shifted. Today's beating began like the others. A few students from other sects surrounded him.

"Just give us some pills... we know your sect boards them!" A well dressed boy yelled out striking.

A crack could be heard when Atoms head truck the ground. "Quickly help me out!" He hollered to his comrades.

The group began kicking and stoping on the immobilized Atom. A few people searched his pockets each coming up empty.

"This fucker doesn't have a thing!" One boy said giving him a hard stomp.

"Next time you better bring something for this young master or I'll make you sorry." The well dressed youth said spitting. "Let's go boys!"

Atom was slow to rise - first moving off to the side he sat himself up, slowly tending to his bruises.

Off in the distance Andi slowly walked up "you didn't even try to fight back..." She stand half question half statement.

Dusting off his close Atom rising to his feet, "no point causing your grandfather any extra troubles..." he claimed with a lackluster tone; "what brings you here?"

"Oh me?" She asked childishly " I heard from some friends that you where getting picked on and I thought it would be funny..."

Atom laughed "did you have your chuckle?"

Andi's face shifted to a stern look as she responded "it was more pathetic than I thought..." walking off she continued, "grandpa might not care if you bring home trouble but he'll be pissed seeing such a pathetic apprentice - to scared to defend himself..."

"No way those guys are rich!"

"Forget money pill refining demands respect, your gonna tarnish grandpas name.." Andi claimed. , "now come along before it gets late..."
