Ch.3 The Cultivation World

As I entered the cave I looked around, it was big.. no that would be an understatement, the cave was hundreds of meters high and its weight was double the height.

Magical symbols floated above the ceiling as they glowed a gentle blue, looking around I could see a small bookshelf with various books in one corner of the cave.

On the other side was a stone bed and nothing more. This cave was big but mostly empty, a minimalistic approach.

Walking inside I can hear the sound of flowing water, so some kind of water body should be deeper inside the cave.

Ignoring all that I move toward the stone bed as I sit down, looking at the two bags in my hands I put them on the bed as I lay there motionless.

It has been quite an hour.. or maybe even less than after all, things progressed too fast after meeting my master.

He didn't explain anything and just threw me here, well at least he took me in.

"Hello."

I call out but there is no eco in this large empty cave, there must be some formation or something.

In my last life, I have read my fair share of cultivation novels so I do have some basic knowledge.. though how helpful that knowledge can be.. I am not quite sure.

Anyway, from what I know my master seems to have quite a high ranking and cultivation base.

"Hmm, surely he left something good for his disciple."

Saying that I stare at the two bags, one golden and the other red. The golden was given to me by my master and the red by the elder of this mountain.

Taking the golden bag I open its mouth and look inside, I see nothing but pitch-black darkness.

"This must be one of those storage bags. Hmmm."

I put my hands inside but I can't feel anything, frowning a little I put the bag upside down and shake it.

Finally, things started to fall from the, and before I could react there was a pile of glowing gems, a book, a jade piece, some containers, etc.

"Hmm.."

Looking at it for a while I turn my attention toward the red bag, this time being extra careful I stand up from the bed and walk forward.

Putting the bag upside down I start to shake it, and hundreds of folded orange Taoist robes start to fall.

And then a book and some glowing stones and a jade piece just like the ones in the master bag also fall.

Ignoring the clothes I pick up the book and jade piece, looking at the book title.

"Qi Calling Art."

It should be a cultivation manual, ignoring that for a while I look at the jade piece trying to understand it.

As if noticing my intentions it starts to glow as pieces of information start to flow into my head.

Holding my head in discomfort I look at the jade piece.. commonly called information jade.

It gave me the basic knowledge of the sect.. like the fact that it was founded thirty thousand years ago, it is of the righteous faction and some little titbits.

Like the name of this mountain, 'Center Outer Spirit Mountain' .. it is surrounded by eight other mountains separated equally on four sides.

"Well, this should help me get a general understanding of the situation."

Turning around I walk toward my bed as I pick up the information Jade given to me by my master.

It also starts to glow as large amounts of information start to flood through my mind, although the information is thousands of times greater than the last one this one didn't give me any discomfort.

Sitting on the bed I digest all the information... after an hour or so I open my eyes as I look at the cultivation manual next to me.

"Divine Harmony Qi Art- First Part."

An art whose lever is several times higher than the standard cultivation arts, from the information I gained it should be a Heaven tier-Mid grade.

"Hmm, the full cultivation art should be a Half-Immortal grade."

Quite a high-ranking cultivation art, almost at the pinnacle of this world.

Putting the Manual to the side I look at the spirit stones, there are a hundred top grades, a thousand high grades, ten thousand mid-grade, and a hundred thousand low grades.

As for the ones in the red bag, they are just a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

"As for this container, this should contain the hundred 1-star ranked sprit qi collecting pill."

"My master treats his disciple well."

Smiling to myself, I put the spirit stones and the pill container to the side of the bed as I couldn't use the storage pouches without having reached the Qi building Realm- Spirt Awakening Stage.

The cultivation stages in this world are quite weird. Like even if a person reaches the next stage unless he has completed that stage he will be called a sudo-cultivator of that stage.

"Seems like my master has already entered the Deity Realm, don't know how high it is though."

The book only tells up to the Nascent Soul stage and nothing above that.

"Well, let's wonder about that later."

Picking up one of the orange Taoist robes I walk toward the inner area of the cave, according to the information Jade there should be a bath near a small pond.

Giving a quick glance at the spirit pond and the spiritual plants surrounding it, I remove all my current clothes and enter the bath.

The cold water against my hot body is quite relaxing, plus due to the nature of this water, I can visually see my skin glowing.

Although I am around sixteen years old, due to working on the farm my skin was everything but clear.

But just a dip in this bath has started to remove all the marks of the past, by the time I finished my skin had become as smooth as that of a baby.

"Feels weird."

I mutter as I touch my new skin, after a while I look at the orange robs and wear it. This is quite comfortable as if made from silk.

"I guess this is the treatment you get if you are a Supreme Elders Disciple."

"mmmm"

"Father, I hope you will have a good rest in the heavens above."

Saying that one last time I walk toward my bed to pick up the Cultivation Manual and officially start my cultivation journey.
