Gathering Qi (Chapter 2)

Xiao Fang: *Yawn* *Stretches*

Qiao Fang: Good morning, did you sleep well, Xiao Fang? Breakfast will be on the table in 30 minutes go wake up your master and wash your face.

Xiao Fang: hmmm, it smells wonderful, mother. *walks to his master's quarters* Master its time to wake up mother is making breakfast it will be done in 30 minutes.

Liu Xinyi: Xiao Fang, come inside, I have something for you.

Xiao Fang: why are you giving me this book.

Liu Xinyi: we call this book "Devouring Body Arts" and it will help you create the correct foundation to cultivate to the highest level for your world devouring spirit roots.

Xiao Fang: That sounds amazing finally I will cultivate qi.

Liu Xinyi: But first we need to feed our stomachs before we try anything. We will continue this conversation about cultivation in 30 minutes. Now lets go find out what the delicious smell is coming from the kitchen.

Xiao Fang: Deal.

Qiao Fang: Your Awake Ms. Xinyi Come on over and sit down im preparing your plates right now.

Xiao Fang: Come on master mothers cooking is wonderful it can even restore peoples strength or so I have heard.

(30 minutes pass by and Xiao Fang and Liu Xinyi go outside to begin).

Xiao Fang: hmmm that breakfast was amazing what did you think about it master.

Liu Xinyi: You were not kidding your mothers cooking is wonderful I wish I would have met you both a lot earlier in my life so I could have eaten her food a lot more.

Liu Xinyi: Now Xiao Fang lets get back to the topic at hand. What is your knowledge about cultivation right now.

Xiao Fang: If I remember correctly Cultivation is the gathering of yin or yang energy and qi of the world (Plants, Soil, Animals, Spirit Beasts and Humans) All of these contain vast amounts of qi. You first start in a sitting position with your legs over eachther and your hands in a relaxed position in front of your dantian(belly Button) and slowly start to gather the qi from the earth and plants to produce a spirit sea within your dantian.

Liu Xinyi: Correct Xiao Fang. Now I want you to read the Devouring Body Arts and then I want you to practice bringing qi into your dantian. Let me know when you are done with the task at hand.

Xiao Fang: Will do master.

(Xiao Fang starts cultivating for in order to feel the qi surounding him and after about 2 hours of cultivating he can finally perceive the qi and starts to slowly pull it into his dantian)

Liu Xinyi: It looks like you can gather the qi around you and into your dantian now Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang: Yes master its all thanks to this manual that you gave me I didn't expect it to be this easy.

Liu Xinyi: Well it didn't take me 2 hours to beable to do what you just did it actually took me around 2 years of isolated cultivation in order to get were you are right now.

Xiao Fang: Does that make me a genius or something.

Liu Xinyi: Yes Xiao Fang that does. It looks like you may even beable to surpass me one of these days. But for now since you can cultivate correctly now im going to give this martial arts manual called "The 12 Fists Of Heavenly Destruction". But First I will demonstrate them to you. So go sit in front of the house and observe because I will only be doing this once.

( Xiao Fang goes to sit down and quietly observes his master as she demonstrates 3 out of the 12 techniques). 

Liu Xinyi: Before I start demonstrating the first 3 fists of the heavens I will quickly explain what they do. The first fist is for damaging your opponents Mentality with how fast you can execute this move you can land a hit on almost anyone under the level of Void Tribulation. The second fist can deliver a blow powerful enough to knock back any opponent under the level of Spirit Core and the third fist can knock out any opponent under the level of Spirit Illumination.

Xiao Fang: So your saying that this manual is powerful enough to take on anyone under Void Tribulation level. But How long will I have to cultivate it until I can take on anyone above those levels.

Liu Xinyi: Those 3 fists are only the begining Xiao Fang. When you master these 3 fists than I will teach you the other 3 so on and so forth. So let me demonstrate for you the first 3.

( Liu Xinyi spends some time demonstrating how to correctly execute the first 3 moves from the manual without damaging yourself and after about an hour of her demonstrations Xiao Fang is now ready to cultivate them himself).

Xiao Fang: *surprised* Wowwww that was only the first 3 fists you took out that giant tree from 100 meters away with only the pressure from your fists.

Liu Xinyi: Yes Xiao Fang as long as you continue to cultivate and listen to my teachings than you can even aspire to take out an entire sect with but a wave of your hand.

Xiao Fang: Yes Master I will Follow all of your teachings the the best of my ability.

Liu Xinyi: Now that I have demonstrated these for you...

Qiao Fang: Ahhhhhhhhh Help me Help me Xiao Fang.

( Xiao Fang and Liu Xinyi go inside the house but they see nothing only a note left on the table with a dagger through it).

Xiao Fang: *Grabs the note* It says that if I want to see my mother again I need to return to the sect on my knees and beg.

Liu Xinyi: Xiao Fang don't worry about your mother I will go and plead with your old sect and see what I cant do for now I want you to stay here and practice The first 3 fists until I come back.

Xiao Fang: No im coming with you I can't let them hurt my mother shes the only thing I have.

Liu Xinyi: *Slaps Xiao Fang* WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT NEVER DISOBEYING ME AND TO LISTEN TO ME ALL THE TIME. *sigh* I need you to practice the first 3 fists because im going to enter you into your sects competition with your mother as your prize. I will get them to give her back to you as long as you can get first place at the genius competition thats being held in 2 years. During this time I will stay in your sects land and watch over your mother until you can join the tournament. Do you understand.

Xiao Fang: I understand master Im sorry for not listening.

Liu Xinyi: Its okay Xiao Fang I would have done the same thing if I were in your position. Now im off make sure you practice diligently.

Xiao Fang: Thank you master Protect my mother well please.

Liu Xinyi: I will.

(and with that Liu Xinyi Was off towards the sect to bargain with the patriarch about giving his mother back to him if he wins but what awates her is nothing but a horrifying sight to behold.
