Cultivate Starts

"Village Chief, what should we do with him?" Han Yang turned his head at Gu Chu's body and asked.

Gu Tan raised his hand and said "Put my uncle in the prison! He will spend the rest of his life there. Oh yeah! We don't have a prison, right?"

Tu Shen nodded his head and said "Normally, nobody has done such a crime so we haven't made a prison."

Gu Tan touched his chin and turned his head at the crowd "Everyone, let's not waste time here! We will have another announcement later. So, for now, everyone can return to their home."

Hearing his words, everyone nodded their heads dispersed. Only Zhao's twin sisters, Ming Shen, and Zhu Ping were standing there. Gu Tan turned his head at Tu Shen and spoke "Grandpa, can you teach Ming Shen the war strategies and laws."

"Yes, Village Chief!" Tu Shen nodded his head.

"Grandpa Han, can you teach everything you know to Zhu Ping? He needs your wisdom." Gu Tan turned his head to Han Yang and spoke.

"Yes, Village Chief!" Han Yang nodded his head.

Gu Tan turned his head at Gu Chen and says "Father, I want you to become a new Law Enforcer of the village. We didn't need it in past but now we need someone to enforce the law. As for the number of laws, we will discuss it later."

Gu Chen nodded his head.

Then Gu Tan turned his head at Lee Che and said "Uncle Lee, I want you to gather a group of martial artists in the village and start training them. Previously, we didn't need to do this but now we do. After you teach them for a month, start expanding the numbers."

"But Village Chief, we don't have that many martial artists in our village. Do you plan for this?" Lee Che nodded his head and asked.

Gu Tan nodded his head and spoke "I do have a plan for this. Don't worry about number of martial artists. Not just martial artists, our village will be filled with mages in the future. But for now, we need to take one step at a time."

Lee Chu nodded his head.

"Village Chief, what about us? You must have a job for us as well, right?" Just when Gu Tan turned his head at Zhao Ming, Zhao Yin jumped in front of him and shouted.

"I do have a job for you. I need a secretary. And, you two are best for that job. I have already taught you a lot in those past years so you two can do this job perfectly. After all, a village chief has a lot of job. And, I also need to cultivate."

Hearing his words, others gave him a strange glance. They knew Zhao's sisters and he was engaged. For a moment, they couldn't understand his true intention. Because someone thing was telling them to deny his words.

Gu Tan ignored their gazes and turned his head at Zhao Ping, saying "Grandpa Zhao, I want you to control the economy of the village with my grandfather. This includes making a budget, providing me the report of expenses, our earning, and everything else related to wealth."

"Village Chief, I don't think Brother Gu has any experience for this kind of job. It would be much suitable for me to do it alone." Zhao Ping narrowed his eyes and spoke as he felt something was wrong here.

"You are wrong, Grandpa Zhao. This kind of job requires two things. One is strength and another is knowledge. There will be a different situations where you need to use your strength. That's why grandpa is a good pair for this job. And, it will also keep you company. After all, we are going to be a family."

Hearing his words, everyone's face twitched.

"Yahh! I knew you love me." Zhao Yin jumped into his embrace making Zhu Ping jealous for a moment. But, Han Yang pressed his shoulder and said "You can't force love. Don't worry, there are plenty of fish in the sea. You will find your true love one day."

Hearing his words, Zhu Ping clenched his fists and nodded.

"Sister, let go of him! We are in the middle of a village." Zhao Xin pulled her sister, bowed in front of Gu Tan.

"I apologize for my sister's behavior."

"It's okay." Gu Tan smiled and turned around.

"Since I have given the task to everyone, let's end this short meeting here. By the way, I will start living in the council house from now on." Gu Tan spoke and turned around. He left towards his home.

Gu Chen hurriedly caught to him and asked "Did you ask your mom?"

"No, I haven't. But, I need to stay there from now. But, I will try to visit home once a day. And, mom can also visit me once a day. By the way dad, I feel some conflict in your heart. Is it because of uncle?" Gu Tan shook his head and asked with concern in his eyes.

Hearing his words, Gu Chen sighed. He found that his son was indeed good at finding others' emotions. He shook his head and said, "Son, today stay with me and your mother!"

"Alright!" Gu Tan didn't think even for a moment before agreeing.

"That's my son!" Gu Chen laughed and patted his head.

As soon as he patted his head, Gu Tan felt the conflict fading away from his dad's heart. He smiled and thought 'Dad, having your palm at my head is everything for me. I will always keep you, mother and, grandfather happy.'

Soon, they reached their home. As soon as they came in, his mother started asking him dozens of questions. He answered some of the honestly while hiding some truths. He had already had the perfect cover for his knowledge so he didn't have to lie a lot. Because this big lie was enough to cover everything.

After that, Gu Tan returned to his room and sat down on the ground. Until now, he hasn't started his cultivation. Using the soul power of the dragon's soul or other tricks, he did many things but none of that was related to his cultivation.

'Alright, let's start the cultivation in my new life. This time I will not leave a single loophole in my cultivation. Two Martial Souls will only give me an extra advantage. And, with the powerful cultivation technique, I might be able to reach the first stage just today.'

'But, if I want to practice that technique, I need to go to the roof.'

Thinking so, Gu Tan stood up and walked towards the stairs. His house roof was quite flat in the middle but slope at the side. And, each was covered with red tiles. He sat in the middle of the roof and muttered.

"Buddha in my heart, the devil in my mind, Buddhist Sect, you will pay for what you did and the same goes for those people. I only created that technique because I was curious but never thought of using it. Now, I have a perfect chance, I will use this technique to balance Buddha and Devil."

Then, he slightly stared at his bottom and thought "Sigh! I have eight years to find a way to balance you. It took me fifteen years to create this technique, creating another technique even harder than this would take even more time. Sigh!"

"Alright, let's start!"

Gu Tan shuts his eyes and in an instant, two massive martial souls burst out of him. But, this time, he keeps them invisible. It is indeed possible to keep them invisible. In his sea of consciousness, a golden pen appeared and started writing golden characters.

"Sun is pure, it is the source of yang. The burning power of the sun turns the world into ashes. But, the sun is righteous. It will always shine the world with its brightness."

"But, my mind is evil. I need the power of the sun. So, I will turn the sun into the dark sun. A sun that shines with darkness, and covers the light."

At this moment, the pen stopped and his mouth mumbled.

"Dark Sun Absorption Technique- Devil Prison!"

Suddenly, his martial souls started trembling. The next moment, eight tight chains emerged out of each martial soul that flew towards the sky. Upon reaching a certain height, the chains stopped growing and each chain stopped at a position to form a prison.

In an instant, two prisons appeared in the sky but they were still invisible to other people. The next moment, the massive yellow light started gathering inside the prison, slowly turning into black gas. The power of martial soul was sucking the sun's essence inside the prison and the prison was turning the bright yellow light into black gas.

That black gas followed down from the chains and reached out to his martial souls. Although the black gas could move, the sun's essence couldn't escape.

"Ughhh! Damn! So much.... I forgot the potential of two ninth rank martial souls."

"But, this makes things even better." A smile appeared on his face. His body sucked the black gas and transfer it to his bones, keeping it there for a long time.

After five hours, Gu Tan smirks and said: "Now is the time!"
