63 Chapter 61: Becoming a cultivator

Xu Ming was sitting on the bed in a meditative position.

He had read the Cultivation Manual completely and knew what he had to do.

The first and the most basic realm in the path of the cultivation was the Body Refining Realm.

It was the first step that every cultivator had to take on their journey towards immortality.

The first stage of Body Refining Realm is what separates mortals from cultivators.

To become a Body Refining Realm cultivator, a person had to be able to absorb the Qi from nature.

The Qi would pass through various meridian points and nourish the body of a human.

The QI  would help a person break the shackles of mortality and pass his limits, but only in terms of strength.

The Body Refining Realm was purely about physical cultivation. The cultivation related to the human body and its strength.

Xu Ming had already begun his cultivation, but he felt like something was missing.

What he didn't know was that the Heavenly Origin Cultivation Manual was the cultivation manual that the Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu had used.

He gave this manual to Xu Liang when he found out about Xu Liang's ability to absorb Origin Energy.

Since this cultivation skill was made for Origin Energy, it wasn't much effective in places that lacked Origin Energy.

The mortal world was one of the places that lacked the Origin Energy.

Fortunately, the mortal world wasn't completely void of Origin Energy.

Origin Energy was the purest energy in the whole universe. It was known as the purest form of energy.

The mortal world also had the Energy, but the quantity was quite low.

While the Natural Qi was like the Sea that surrounded the Mortal Realm, the Origin Energy was like a small lake.

It was completely opposite in higher realms.

The Heavenly Realm and the Demon Realm had higher quality of Origin Energy and less natural Qi.

Xu Ming was using the cultivation skill made for the gods, thus he couldn't absorb the Natural Qi.

Fortunately, he was able to absorb a little bit of Origin Energy every time. Even though the quantity of Origin Energy was small, its quality was immeasurable.

If a cultivator absorbed Origin Energy for 10 years, and a different cultivator absorbed 10 times the Natural Qi for 10 years, the first cultivator would always come out on top.

Xu Ming absorbed a small bit of Origin Energy inside his body and made it pass through his important meridians.

His whole body felt so refreshed as soon as the Origin Energy entered his body. He felt so good, it felt like he was back in the Heavenly Realm, in his comfortable bed.

His body was nourished.

Even if he found the sensation to be amazing, he didn't lose his focus and kept cultivating.

The small bit of Origin Energy kept entering his body with every breath as he cultivated.

Unfortunately, the Origin Energy wasn't much, thus he wasn't able to utilize his full potential in cultivation.

Xu Ming kept absorbing the Origin Energy and after three hours, he felt like his surroundings had changed.

His senses were much sharper than before and he was brimming with energy.

Xu Ming had realized that he had finally taken his first step in the path of cultivation. He was finally a first stage Body Refining Realm cultivator.

He didn't stop as he kept cultivating, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Xu Ming? Open the door. Why have you closed it?" Someone called out from outside.

Xu Ming recognized that as the voice of Yao.

He hurriedly opened his eyes as he got off the bed. He made sure that his ring was invisible as he walked towards the door.

He opened the door and just as he had expected. Yao was standing outside. Dong Zheng and the other roommates were with him as well.

Xu Ming stepped to the side and allowed them to enter.

"Why did you close the door?" Yao asked as he entered.

"I fell asleep and didn't want anyone to enter and steal anything" Xu Ming lied.

He closed the door after everyone entered and walked back to his bed.

"Alright. Anyways, how was your work? Zheng told you everything, right?" Yao asked Xu Ming.

" It was good, boss. I think little Ming can handle it easily tomorrow." Dong Zheng replied.

" I'm asking him, aren't I?" Yao let out in an annoyed tone. 

" It was good." Xu Ming tomorrow.

"That's good. Go to sleep now. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for you. You'll be working alone." Yao said as he laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.

He looked somewhat tired. Xu Ming couldn't help but wonder why he was so tired today. He didn't ask anything. 

He also fell into his bed and closed his eyes.

He had decided that he would never cultivate in front of Yao and others.

Even though he didn't explicitly doubt them, he still kept his wariness. After what happened with War God Zhen, he couldn't trust anyone else.

Fortunately, no one was able to see his cultivation.

He had heard his father talk about it. Although it was quite strange, not a single person was able to see his father's cultivation. Even his father didn't know why it was like that.

Xu Ming wondered if he had the same ability as his father. If it was similar, his life would be much simpler.

Fortunately, even if he didn't have the ability, not many people would bother to check the cultivation of a servant.

Xu Ming fell asleep. He had the same dream as always. A young boy was sitting in darkness with a blank expression on his face.

The night passed away just like that.

It was early morning as Xu Ming woke up. 

The others were still sleeping. He hurriedly got ready and left the hut.

He walked to the class that he was assigned and began cleaning. It was his first day after all.
