He's so cute... just look at him! (Female name (F1))

Another son! You're going to grow up to be a big strong boy! (Male name (M1))

The baby looked up at his mother and father, and they looked back with love in their eyes. MC1's bright green eyes shone with innocence.

You shall be called (MC1)! Ahh, you'll grow up into a mighty warrior one day!

Not as mighty as me, dad! (MC2) I will always be the best! I will protect you and mom when you grow old and I will always watch over MC1!

"Now now," M1 said, you will both be equally strong. I learned a dharmic art called soul bind! The two of you will have your fate bound. One one becomes strong, so will the other! We will also be able to sense each other's vitality and know if the other is in danger. The spell will greatly help you in your future,MC2. Although it is relatively easy for me to cast it, it has a huge tax on my life force. It is worth it for my sons. The two of you will be the future of our family. MC2, hold your brother.

MC2 took ahold of little MC2. and looked down at his little baby body all swaddled in blankets. You sure are cute. I will make sure you never get hurt by anyone! I will be the strongest and protect you until you are strong too! Then we can go out and explore the world, vanquishing evil beast along the way. we will have a great journey together once we are both grown up.

Now... Soul Bind! M1 shouted. The lights in the room darkened as energy was sucked into the thin line of light forming between the two brothers. Entire residence shock with the strength of the bond between the two brothers soon everything quiet down and the lamp lights came back on. And M1 lurch backwards as the aftershock of using the ability hit him. Almost 30% is life energy had drained away from using just one ability.

"Did it work?" (F1)

"Yes I think so"(M1)

"Yeah it definitely worked I can feel the connection between MC 1 and I... an inseparable bond... I can almost sense his thoughts. I think he's hungry. Yeah he is definitely hungry mother, you should feed him. "(Mc2)

The M family did not have a rich history of power. They were an average family with just a small amount of cultivation materials and a very flawed cultivation technique. M1 had reached the qi gathering the second tier, which was a great achievement for any commoner, and was able to best many mortals and beasts in a battle, but he was not able to match any formal cultivators. Great sects dedicate time and materials into rearing powerful dispels. The largest sect in the area was the Flowing River sect. They were able to grow so large through their policy of accepting outer sect dispels as inner sect dispels if they reached qi gathering tier 4. Servants are accepted as outer sect dispels if they reach qi gathering stage 2. F1 was only qi gathering Tier 1 and her strength was much lower than M1's. Both M1 and F1 could battle against a mortal, but would pale in comparison to anyone from a large sect. Cultivation raises life energy, allowing cultivators to live longer than mortals. Tiers of qi gathering are measured by both life energy and qi levels. Each tier of qi gathering increases a cultivator's life span by 10 years. Cultivators will begin forming a qi core at qi gathering tier 9, but they will continue gathering more qi throughout their lives. The most popular form of measurement combat power was measuring the tier of the cultivator.

There are many demonic beast so in the wild over the family lived in the outskirts of the city where there are very few sightings of these strong foes. All cultivators are required to participate in the battle against demonic beasts. They can either join the army or kill a number of demonic beasts close to their home. Demonic beasts hunt mortals and cultivators alike, and they have been a huge threat to human kind's survival for as long as anyone can remember.

...

A nearby camp of soldiers...

So general wants us to get a family that has been doing demonic acts? Well I just hope it's he is right this time. Still feels like that that last family wasn't truly guilty. Who am I to judge general knows the supreme commander and neither of them are powers that I can question. I have been working hard my entire life, and have managed to cultivate to the third stage of qi gathering. I only made it here through the army's help and I really should trust the general and his decisions. It just feels like we are killing off all these families that seem so innocent.

Hey M3! What are you doing over there should you be getting ready for the hunt we are quite a few family to take down tonight and one of them is even has a tier 3 qi gathering cultivator! Ya can't be slacking off! M4 was the leader of the group, and he was a tier 4 cultivator. M3 nodded to him, but didn't stand.

M3 gaze around at the beautiful setting all of the blooming apple trees ready to release their pollen into the world. It seemed a happy day, but M3 knew that the night would be stained with blood. M3 picked up his scabbard and drew his sword. He admired the beautiful blade and thought of how fortunate he was to have been assigned to General's elite squad. Only one out of 1000 were able to join the general and his quest to end evil and only the most loyal and unthinking were picked. This made some suspicious as to his true motives, however, most admired him for his detestment of evil. M3 picked up his grindstone and started sharpening his sword. The shine of the sharpened steel seemed like it could pierce all darkness. M3 set his sword back down, and went back to staring at the fire.
