Chapter 3 - Finally starting Cultivating!

Jian Yun finally decided to cultivate.Going into a lake,a bit away from his home he sat cross-legged.He calmed his mind and tried to sense Qi.In the beginning he couldn’t but after twenty minutes started to feel them.One minute took for each Cultivation Vein to be filled.

Then the Qi slowly went to the small dantian.In two hours of cultivating it filled half.Jian Yun stopped cultivating and went back home.His parents would worry if he went away for a long time.

“Father.”He said when he found his father calmly drinking tea.”You went to cultivate/”He said seriously.”Yes.”Knowing that his father,Jian Lang had long since seen him cultivating he didn’t bother hiding it from him.

“Good.”He said before he slowly stood up and walked away.Jian Yun could see a hidden proudness in his words.But he also felt relieved,he now could cultivate more,without bothering to hide it,after all his father would help him hide it.

He was already half way to the first layer of the Martial Refiner Realm.His body was now two to three times stronger.But the reason he was so fast was because of the several herbs and medicines his father gave to him when he was younger.It also was because he trained a technique called,”Ten Thousand Marks”.

Even he was not sure what it did,but one of the effects were hiding and strengthening one’s body.He was sure he could beat a normal eight years old boy easily.As for first layer Martial Refiners?He wasn’t a beast for god’s sake,though he may be later…

Jian Yun went back to the lake and started cultivating yet again.One Hour,two,three and even four hours.His dantian was almost filled,but he couldn’t breakthrough to the first layer.Was it because his Cultivation Veins weren’t big enough?

‘No…’Jian Yun muttered,an idea entered his mind.Instead of sending the Qi to the dantian he decided to sent it to the Cultivation Veins and slowly raise them with Qi,which was extremely hard but at the same time easy.

It was dangerous because if you used a lot of Qi there was a chance they may break,and then it was nearly impossible to fix them.But for a sage who has lived for tens of thousands of years,how could it be nearly impossible?

Beasts can easily do that because their Cultivation Veins are sturdy and solid,thus it is hard for weak beasts to break cultivation veins easily.”To think that I would need to fall to such methods.But anyway,it will benefit my body a lot,and it may even help me reach the peak of the Martial Refiner Realm faster that I can.”Jian Yun said in a low voice.

Two weeks later.Jian Yun had slightly grown his cultivation veins.But now he decided to actually grow them using herbs and pills.He asked his father for two pills,”Great Giant Pill” and “Stone QI”The first one would raise his Cultivation Veins the second would make them solid.

He took a huge breath and closed his eyes.Clearing his mind he quickly put the Great Giant Pill in his mouth and swallowed it.The effects quickly started to make his Cultivation Veins bigger.Two cm,three,ten,fifteen centimeters and finally twenty centimeters.It took quite a big part of his body.

Then he quickly put the Stone Qi Pill in his mouth and swallowed it.The effect immediately took effect and his Cultivation Veins now were solid and better by 100% that before he swallowed both pills.

He could feel his cultivation soaring!First stage,intermediate,late and peak!The effects of the pill had helped him a lot!By the end of the tenth birthday of his,even reaching the fifth layer wouldn’t be a problem.But he wouldn’t hurry…

There was no need to hurry…

***

Two years passed.The only person who had started to cultivate after Jian Yun was a 79 talent grade girl,Jian Wei.She was pretty childish and was eight years old,almost nine.She was Jian Yun’s childhood friend.

“Brother Yun!”She shouted when he saw Jian Yun cultivating.This was the first time she had seen him cultivating.Currently Jian Yun was at the second stage,peak of it.But he could easily defeat third stage Cultivators.

His father,Jian Lang was proud of him a lot.From what he learned his father was far stronger than the two mysterious experts who escorted his previous fiancee,Qian Bao.Even a thousand experts of that level were not able to defeat him.

When he was seven,a big war happened and the Jian Clan won.It was a full offensive war against the Chu and Mao Clans.The Jian Clan won and divided the lands with the Qian Clan.Thanks to that the JI Clan grew and the resources became bigger.

Well Jian Yun also contributed...He killed a few first layer villagers of the clan.But almost nobody knew it.

“Elder Sister Wei.”Jian Yun smiled.”What brings you here?”He asked her politely.”Father wanted me to call you.”She said.Her father was the Grand Elder,Jian Feng.He was a bit weaker than Jian Yun’s father.

“Sure.”He said kindly and followed Jian Wei,his elder sister(Not actually).They stopped when they reached a small hut,in nice condition but not good for a true member of the clan.They slowly entered the hut and Jian Wei called for her father.”Father?”

Then a black haired man with a small beard and blue eyes appeared.He looked ancient.It had to be known that maybe no elder inside the clan had lived for more than five hundred years.Martial Refiners live for 150 years,Martial Ki Refiners for 200.”Little Yun.”He called for him smiling.

“Uncle Feng.”Jian Yun cupped his hands and slightly bowed.He was in terms of bloodline higher than him,but he still had to show respect to him.Jian Feng was his father’s sworn brother.”Do you know why I called you here?”He said,Jian Yun waved his head right and left,showing that he didn’t.

“From what I know,you have already started cultivating,right?”Jian Yun nodded.”Before you were born,your father asked me to teach you a very painful technique called,”Nine Marks Of Hell.”Each mark raises your power and after the ninth mark you will be able to defeat people a layer higher than you.”

‘To think that the small Jian Clan has such a good technique…’Jian Yun thought.”Then you will teach it to me?”He said politely,with his hands still cupped.”Yes.”Jian Feng nodded,but he had forgotten something.How could a kid stay so calm after learning that?

(Though most wouldn’t take it seriously)

“The First mark,DRAGON.You have to endure hotness to the max.”Jian Feng said,then they teleported,or to be exact flew.Teleporting was only possible for immortals.They flew and flew...For hundreds of kilometers,for hours and hours…

Before stopping in a small plain.But there was a strange thing in the plain,there was a small lake of wa-no lava.”Lava…”Jian Wei almost cried,her clothes were extremely hot.Jian Yun saw that and immediately clad his clothes in Qi,he didn’t do that for her as his father had already done that a moment ago.

Thankfully they weren’t too close to the lava or even Qi would have been burned and melted,and they would have probably died,unless Jian Feng had a hidden card.”Go ten meters away from the lava and stay there for as much as you can.”He said,Jian Yun nodded.

He slowly went and sat cross-legged just ten meters away from the lava lake.Jian Wei covered her mouth.It probably was over 100C there,even she would’ve easily given up in ten minutes.Not to mention Jian Yun was younger than her!

“Junior brother…”She clenched her fists and with tears looked at her junior brother,Jian Yun who was sweating.Meanwhile in his soul,power was soaring.He was going to use this chance to breakthrough to the third layer!
