2 Chapter 2: Preparation

Meng'er has already made her plan. Of course, she will not be a slave. First of all, she has to get spirit stones somehow.

"I accept it only under these conditions. I need a place to stay, and I need start-up capital."

With the spiritstone she will take Lin'er out of the city. It's no use looking for a sect here in the city. The people who are already at the gates are either in the Hoution or Xiantian. Normal mortal people seem to be a rarity here. Without a family in the background that vouches for one, one asks here only his death.

"Here my blood. Can I get on your carriage master?"

The merchant is surprised that she has accepted conditions. He feels a bit sorry for the woman.

"Hmm... you know what, I will give you a chance to survive here, you are welcome to work as a maid for my family. I have a daughter who needs care. Can you read books?"

Surprised by his 180 degree turn, Meng replies "Of course. I was a teacher for a very long time."

The merchant looked incredulous of Meng'er's statement. She looks like 20 years old. Maybe she has used some secret technique that makes her look young. In any case, she has no QI and is crippled. Maybe she was abandoned by her family.

"Get on the carriage, I have to go to my headquarters."

The guards checked the papers and let them in. The merchant asked curiously "what is your name?"

"Ling Meng you can call me Meng. My son's name is Lin." The merchant replied "Are you even sure your son is still alive? He is in coma and doesn't look like he would wake up. Most importantly, he also has no qi but does not appear to be crippled. How can you take such a risk and go in this city. Don't you know that this is the largest city in the province? If you are not cultivated, you are really just looking for death. "

Ling Meng remained silent without showing any reaction.

The merchant broke the silence" I hope you didn't lie to me that you can read. Otherwise, I have no use for you even as a slave you are unfit. You have no Qi even little brats who are in body tempering stage 3 would sweep you away. In this city you are nothing but a cockroach screaming for death. In the city there are rules you can't break stealing and fighting is strictly forbidden. Whereas I don't have to worry too much about you fighting. You can call me by my doaist name. Hawkeye. Oh and one more thing, since you are not assigned to a family, you have no right to own a family name. You are now number 3, your son, if he wakes up again we will have to call him a bastard. I don't see his father far and wide."

Hawkeye laughed aloud. Either he knows sarcasm or is just human scum. Which humanity does not need.

Arriving at Hawkeye's quarters, he introduced number 3 to the other two maids. "Here is number three as you know she is not allowed to have a name and she has a bastard which does not even have qi. So scum of the worst kind. Hah, one can only be sad that he has such parents. That both of them even dare to enter this city proves that they have balls of steel. Take number three to my library, call for my daughter and her three private teachers, I need to see if she's any good at teaching hmpf."

Two weeks have passed and Meng has been able to contribute very well. Even the teachers were destroyed by her education. She is definitely on a different level than the teachers in Xiantian. She was able to discover mistakes that even the experienced Xiantian cultivators could'nt discovered. If someone had made the scene public, the teachers would have been a laughingstock. In any case, Hawkeye saves a lot of spirit stones, which makes him very happy. Nevertheless, he teases Number 3 from time to time.

In the evening after taking rotine medication, Lin suddenly woke up. "Who am I? Where am I? Who are you? What am I doing here and why can't I remember anything I have headaches arghh."

Meng replied in tears of joy. "You are Ling lin the hope of all living beings. You are in the human realm. You have a task that only true gods can accomplish. My son, I will teach you the basics of cultivation. In which direction you want to develop is up to you alone. You are now 5 years old and have no Qi. We should change that as soon as possible. Now, first of all, go into a lotus position. Close your eyes and try to feel your aura + dantain. Breathe in and out slowly. Can you feel your aura?"

"Wait a minute why are you crying? Why can't I remember my mother where is my father? Mom, before I gather my qi. Can you explain to me what happened in the last few years? I kind of get a headache as soon as I remember back. "

"All you need to know is that you have a job to do. Should you fail to do so. Waits not only the death of all living beings, but also the existence itself will be extinguished. Listen to me carefully, even if it is difficult for you, I cannot stay with you for long. I must leave here. Do not worry, you are safe. There are some things that are abominable. Demons are trying to throw the universe into chaos. They want nothing but darkness and death. You are one of the important factors that can prevent that. You have a gift that other children do not have. You have a photographic memory. No matter what technique you learn you can do it after a few hours. You are one of the survivors from heaven. Even if I can't give you a cultivation technique. You will have no problems to survive here in this realm. There is an array that you must activate once you become an immortal. This will ensure that this realm gets more Qi. It will become denser. All living beings will become stronger with time. You have to unite all the people and the other living beings. You can only do that with strength, intelligence and willpower. Once you achieve this, a seal will break, which will cause invaders to come from different realms. They can be enemies or friends. Your father will give you assistance as soon as you enter heaven. Now we come back to the most important problem. Qi gathering please sit in a lotus position".

Overwhelmed by his mother's statement, Lin sits down. At first he feels nothing. Under his mother's strict demands, he does manage to feel something. At first there are small dots flowing through his veins. They light up and go to a point which seems to be his Dantian. However, he also feels that some veins are blocked. "Mom, I can feel the Qi around this room. But somehow I have the feeling that some veins are blocked. I could collect more if they weren't blocked. What do I have to do to unblock them?"

Overwhelmed but also proud of her son, she smiles and replies, "There are ways to unblock them. Unfortunately, I don't have Qi and can't help you with that. Besides, we are running out of time. The longer I am here in this realm, the more likely it is that my position will be revealed. Recently, I noticed that I had obviously been marked by demonic qi. Now that you are able to see, collect and sense qi, let's move on to the next step. You must find a sect to join. Once your foundation is established, you will need to find loyal friends. You can also stay in the sect. Not every sect will accept you because you have no cultivation. It is likely that the sect will be weak. Either you become a sect leader or you build your own. Be warned though, in an existing sect you will be harassed by families who have a certain position. They will definitely want to kill you at any cost. That is why you should not offend anyone. But where someone has talent there envy arises. If you start your own sect, make sure you have outer members, inner members, core members. Outer members who can do missions of the easy class problem. Inner members who already have a master and can take on the more difficult missions. And Core members who deepen your foundation as a whole with their accumulated knowledge. Higher levels are positions that are usually held by older people, but there are exceptions, for example, if they have done enough for the sect or are very strong. They are called elders. Now to the areas you will need different areas each is important and all are to be considered equally. A sect is only as strong as its weakest area. The following are to be created. The production of pills, formation area these differ into an offensive and defensive variant. Beast taming. Training areas. An area to forge weapons and armor. A library with an experienced master who recognizes what you should cultivate based on its condition. Guards to protect your sect if you are on expeditions or cultivating yourself. For the cultivation techniques, you will get them when you compete against other sects, find or steal them. This also includes a bit of luck if you find something good. These techniques will rarely be seen in auctions. So you have to eliminate the other sects on luck. These areas may not be led in one hand. There should be several elders holding a position. To strengthen your position you should invite guest elders in the beginning. But even here you must be careful these are mostly not loyal & plan shemes. In order not to say everything in advance you should best gather your own experience. Not everyone can perform the position as sect leader properly. More details are in this book, this is an inheritance from your father. I have arranged a ring for you, once you have qi and ascend further you will find things there that can help you in the future. The special thing about this ring is that the higher your cultivation level is the more you can put in this ring. Think of it as an inventory. You can't show this ring to anyone. It occupies runes that create spacial space. Prepare for tomorrow I will send you to a village. You will accompany a daughter of a friend. She is stronger than you, so don't make any fuss. You will regret it otherwise."
