Inheritance

When midnight came, Mu Yue awakened due to the warm light being emitted at the end of the cave. Being clear of danger, Mu Yue walks slowly to the end of the cave to see why it is emitting light.

'Child'

A gentle female voice sounded inside her head. She stopped walking and looked around her until her eyes stared at the light. The light slowly morphed to an adult female body staring at her.

'Hmmm? No cultivation... This child is quite young.'

"Child, what is your name?"

"M-Mu Yue"

"What are you, a 13-year-old child doing here? Don't you know the forests are dangerous especially to a young child like you?"

"I am an orphan going to the city. We stopped by the road and the other orphans dragged me inside the forest... They put their hands to my eyes and mouth so I can't see and shout for help. They threw me to a hole, not knowing which way the road is, I continuously walked, foraging plants to eat and looking for a place to spend the night until I found this cave."

"You are quite lucky that you didn't head to the center of the forest. The closer you are at the center, the tougher the beasts will become."

"May I ask for your name miss?"

"Oh, where are my manners... My name is Tian Min, I'm a Celestial."

"What is a Celestial?"

"A Celestial is a cultivator that obtained a celestial body. Little girl, do you want to be a cultivator?"

"Yes, I want to be a cultivator. I want to be strong so I would not be bullied by others."

"Well first, I will send my spiritual energy to your body. Relax and feel it."

Mu Yue felt the warm energy entering her body from the Celestial. She felt relaxed like she was full of energy.

"Hmm... You can be a cultivator. You have a blue spirit root as well as an Extreme Yin Constitution."

Mu Yue was happy to know that she has the talent to be a cultivator. However because she was an ordinary girl, she doesn't know if the words uttered by the Celestial are good or bad for her.

"What is a blue spirit root and extreme yin constitution?"

"I guess you don't know anything about cultivation. Well, I will transfer the basics a cultivator should know directly through your brain. It might cause a headache, endure it."

Large amounts of information entered her brain which caused a splitting headache yet Mu Yue only frowned, clenching her teeth while enduring the pain. The lady was surprised that Mu Yue didn't utter any sound. The basic information that she was sending to Mu Yue was by no means small. It should have caused a lot of pain, especially to Mu Yue who is only 13.

There are 5 kinds of spiritual roots which are red, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Children inherit their spiritual roots from their parents and sometimes a mutation occurs. Red root cultivators have slow absorption and refinement of spiritual energy while Violet has the fastest. Spiritual roots are only useful to cultivators of the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment. The spirit root will be used as a raw material to form a gold core. From there, every cultivator will have the same absorption and refinement speed.

In the world of cultivation, people that have spirit root has the chance to cultivate. Before obtaining the celestial body, there are 5 major stages which are Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Soul Formation. Each contains 9 minor steps from 1 to 9 and 4 sub-levels which are initial, middle, late, and peak levels.

Most bodies of cultivators have yin and yang energy. Males have more yang while females have more yin. Yang refers to the sun while yin refers to the moon. Sometimes there will be people born with only one type of energy. Males having Extreme Yang Constitution while females have Extreme Yin Constitution.

She received a basic method that every cultivator knows. It included 3 steps. First, sensing the spiritual energy of the surroundings. Second, absorbing the spiritual energy to the body. Third, guiding the flow of the spiritual energy toward the lower dantian which is located three fingers below the belly button and two fingers behind.

"First, you must enter the 1st step of Qi Condensation to be a cultivator. Follow the method that I gave you. My spiritual remnant can stay for one month at most. During this time, I will teach and give you the inheritance that I left here in this cave."

"Close your eyes and focus, after that you will naturally feel the presence of spiritual energy. I will help you so that it won't take too long."

Mu Yue felt that there are warm things nearby. According to the method, she must guide it towards her body. She followed the method and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy. Then she controlled it to her dantian. This process took her about ten minutes to accomplish.

"Congratulations, you are now a cultivator. Now I will form a temporary space, there are 100 cultivation methods inside. All of these methods are better than the things found in this kingdom. However, you can only choose one. There are 3 cultivation methods that I recommend to you that suits your constitution."

Mu Yue, after opening her eyes, found herself in a library with the lady by her side. She will now have to choose which cultivation method she wanted.
