Soul Apprentice

Porus never thought that instead of going to college and living a secure life on Earth, he was planning to take revenge in this world.He was only 17 years old, but he had to fight for his life here.He never had a good life on Earth. May this be his home in this life, so he has to work hard to build a warm and secure home for himself.

From his father's words, once the banished lands was rich with fertile soil, a spiritual forest, and abundant spiritual energy. However, a war broke out between the central region and the banished lands, leading to the use of a forbidden weapon that devastated the land. Consequently, all the forests withered, and the air lost its spiritual energy. This resulted in a shortage of food and the inability to cultivate any plants. In an attempt to seek assistance, his father traveled throughout the continent and asked for help, but no one offered any assistance.At that crucial time light church came forward to give a helping hand.

Who would have thought that they came here with ulterior motives? At the beginning, they genuinely helped the needy and started preaching their beliefs. Looking at their wholeheartedness, the King gave permission to establish light churches all over the land. This helped them build a strong foundation and start their plan of divide and rule.

There is still one month before winter. In this time, he wanted to cultivate, but he needs a cultivation manual. He called Thomas and asked where he can find a wood manuel.

Thomas told him that there is a businessmen in the Cooper family. He can provide us with different types of cultivation manuals, but they are all low grade.

Porus gave 1000 gold coins from his father's storage ring to the guard for purchasing cultivataion manuels.

It will take 15 days for the journey, including the time spent going and coming back. After the guard left, Porus searched inside his father's ring. There are a total of 26,000 gold coins, some crystal boxes, books, and finally, there are seeds. And not much else. His father lived in a poor family, so how could he expect that

After that day, Porus lived a carefree life. He traveled to Earth and visited all his favorite places. However, this time he did not speak to anyone because they would treat him as a ghost. He could not touch anything or store anything.so what is the use of contacting anyone.

On the 15th day, Porus received the guard. To his surprise, he bought a wood manual and also some secret wood attack methods that will help him in war times. The cultivation manual the guard brought were all low grade, but the wood manual was of intermediate grade. It will help him reach the soul king.

Porus went to the waterfalls and sat cross legged,started cultivating according to the instructions.it take him 11 hours to completely memorize the manual , and he began to cultivate finally after 1 hour he felt some changes happening in his body .after some time his body wall filled with soul energy and outside his hand.

For soul tempering cultivators, soul energy is very important. They have to learn how to control soul energy. At the end of the soul tempering stage, they will learn to use soul energy outside the body and can use spirit weapons with the same affinity element.

Now he feels like he is bathed in a warm current. He can feel the life energy in the trees. He can detect the life energy stronger or weaker in seeds, plants, or trees. His power has increased. Every cell in his body is covered with wood elements. Life force is traveling all over his body. Now he feels what it will be like to be powerful.

Now he has stepped into the life of cultivators. Soul apprentice is the beginning stage of an elementalist. He can now form a bond with spiritual beasts and soul weapons. However, further cultivation requires life energy. All other elements are present in the form of spiritual energy, but only the wood element can be found in the form of life energy released by spiritual plants and trees. In the banished lands, it will be impossible to find spiritual plants. How can he obtain life energy?

Now, his power can help him promote agriculture. However, for the wood element, it will be impossible to use as an attacking force. It can only be used as auxiliary power.He never wanted to fight, so it would be best for him to simply grow stronger.

The next day, he searched the entire Green Star Forest to find anything useful. He also wanted to test and understand his power. Now, he feels the properties of each plant and tree. For example, he can determine if a plant is toxic or normal. If it is toxic, he can sense the type of toxin and the parts of the body that will be affected by it by sending his soul energy into that plant.

He searched for plants, that will affect brain cells and make people loose consciousness .he collected highly toxic plants that will Destroy brain and paralyze instantly.

He collected toxic plants for one week. Now winter had started, so he and Thomas started planning. They decided to begin their operation in the west region because it was the only way to enter or escape from this land. He wanted to control the west region first so that he could monitor who was coming and going.

He asked Thomas to send a message to the guards to assemble. He doesn't want any mistakes to happen, otherwise all their lives will be in danger. So, he needs to discuss with them and also see their response.

To his suprise all gaurds in the west region were assembled in a week. By looking at them porus was shocked. They all are lean and weak ,they are not looked like gaurds . He also understand even if he has money without food no one will look energetic.
