You can cultivate?

Back in the Ning Family residence,

Yao Chen was sitting in lotus position, his upper body is naked and his eyes were closed.

The next page is turned, the manual started to float again, but this time the whole manual started to glow a golden light.

The smouldering effect continued, and the texts on the manual disintegrated to golden particles and flew towards him.

This time the golden particles moved around and glued over his whole upper body.

Even in the state of meditation he felt a warm sensation over his body his other senses started to become numb.

Wrapped around tiredness, making him dizzy like a ponent drug started to showing the effects.

The smouldering effect stopped but the book automatically turn the next page.

*gulp* Yao Chen in the verge of collapsing couldn't care less about the next page.

He mustered his strength clenching his muscles.. *arghh*

Again with a hearth wrenching pain he collapsed on the ground.

...

Near the southwest border of the eastern region,

Inside Divine Spirit Unison sect.

A young lady wearing violet robe walking down the outer court.

"Miss Fan? What are you doing here?" a voice came from behind.

'hmm?' she looked at the owner of the voice.

"oh, young master Cai what a pleasant surprise.. I was just taking a stroll."

She spoke nonchalantly.

"mm.. Are you perhaps looking for a partner?"

He said with a slight smile.

"haha.. Young master Cai misunderstood. I am not here to look for a partner."

She clenched her fists and forced a empty laugh.

Young master Cai looked at her with a smirk, "The annual ranking competition is near so i thought Miss Fan has finally decided to find a partner to cultivate with. After all the requirements are 8th stage profound spirit realm."

She frowned but quickly calmed down.

"young master Cai you shouldn't worry about that, I have my own ways to increase my cultivation."

She turned around to leave.

"I think you should consider what we discussed that day.. With my cultivation of true spirit realm i can help Miss Fan breakthrough to the 8th stage in 2months."

She heard him but didn't reply, and left the Inner court.

She straight went to the outer court elder's office.

*knock* *knock*

" who is it? "

A stern old voice resounded.

"grandpa Lin its me Pan Xioafan."

"enter" the old voice softened this time.

Pan Xioafan straight went to the front dest and looked at a old man in his sixties, sitting there, while holding a brush.

"XiaoFan what is it?" he didn't even lift his head and concentrated on writing something.

"Grandpa Lin, I heard that, a new secret realm is opening in the Eastern region?" she asked.

"mm.. You know?" he spoke calmly.

"yes.. are you going to exploring?" she asked.

"mm.. Sect master informed me a week ago, not only me but other elders too.. He said this time it's a medium grade one, also unexplored. So there is a lots of opportunities to obtain rare treasure." he spoke and put down the brush.

Hearing him Pan Xiaofan's eyes lit up." really? When are you heading? Let me tag along with you. "

"what? No way, sect master strictly said only sect elders and core disciples are allowed to enter." Elder Lin denied immediately.

"huh? Why? I want to go there.." she pleaded.

"no means no, this is not a matter of joke. You can lose your life with slight carelessness. It's a new secret realm, who knows how many dangerous beasts it might have? Also there are hidden dangers every where.." Elder Lin scolded her.

"Grandpa Lin the the annual ranking competition is coming.. I am still 6th stage profound spirit realm. I need to get stronger ASAP! otherwise.."

She stopped as she felt she doesn't need to finish it.

".. Treasure hunting isn't an easy task, even for elders in true spirit realm it's very tough you know.. " he looked troubled, as far as the saying goes no one can predict death but the outcome of the deed is certain, even in the hidden dangers, it's still worth risking ones life for the treasures.

As a new founded secret realm, it is certain that it should be containing a lot of treasures and this might be her only chance.

"it's fine Grandpa Lin, I won't be exploring then, I can just wait on the camp site and cultivate there.. As a medium grade secret realm the spiritual energy must be abundant, I am certain that I can get a quick break through with a slight push."

The secret realms are also a part of this world, it's like mini dimension. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth it contains very dense.. It's not surprising to find treasures there.

The earthly treasures needs a lot of profound qi to develop and nurture it's hidden properties. As a small world, it contains the dense and thick qi of heaven and earth.

[note - heaven and earth qi from this world is different from the profound qi, and the most common type of qi cultivated by normal cultivators is profound qi.]

Looking at her pityful expression, he sighed.

"if that's the case I will talk with the sect master.. But you have to promise me not to leave the camp side and cultivate diligently."

Hearing that Pan Xuaofan jumped in joy "yay!! Thank you grandpa Lin."

"sigh... The king has assigned some of top formation master to work on the gate. It should be open in a few months, so you better first breakthrough to the 7th stage, it would be easy like this."

He said.

"thank you so much grandpa Lin." she was very happy, and excited.

.....

Back in the eastern region, Ning Family's residence.

"ouch.." Yao Chen woke up.

"you brat! What the heck are you doing passing out again and again?" he met his mother fierce gaze.

"hehe.. Mother, it's not like.. Yes, I was cultivating?" he said but his words are stuttering.

"Chen'er! It's not a matter of joking! Tell me what we're you doing?"

She didn't bought it, it's not a matter of joke, she knew it's been tough on him, being unable to cultivate, constantly getting bullied by others. She wanted to cry, thinking about that, but it's been years the tears have dried. She knew that Yao Chen has her as only family, if she were to break down, how is he going to survive? She had to become stronger.. Physically and mentally. Yet it still hurts to think about this.

"mother.. I am not joking, I was really cultivating, it's a body cultivation method."

He said getting off from the bed.

"huh? Really why don't you show me.." she spoke as she made a fist and punched his stomach.

"mother wai-*arghhh.. Glurp*"

He fell on his knees, grabbing his stomach, and a little bit of blood came out of his mouth.

"Chen'er..." his mother widened her eyes.. It's not a joke? He really withstood her fist? She really thought he would pass out, she hit him as a punishment. But it's real...

"mother? What are you doing it hurts.." Yao Chen exclaimed in pain.

"Chen'er.."

As soon as he looked up he was tightened in her embrace.

"good boy.." only there words left her mouth as two lines of tears dropped down her cheeks.

He didn't understood and wrapped his hands around her.
