12 Question 12 - Who are you?

Smells of medicinal drug spreading in this small white room, I who just arrive in my medical facility hear a sound from inside a room, Dana's voice. He opens the medical facility and treats some patients himself because of my lateness.

It can't be helped though. After her first loss, Yan nags me to redo the match a few times. Although I didn't use my bloodline in later matches, I still managed to win over her. She still has a long way to go to become a great cultivator.

She became depressed after losing to me consecutively. After I think about it again, it seems I got overboard myself. I need at least lose once to not crush her confidence, I'm the adult one here.

Well, I will buy her something to make her happy later, after all, I don't yet give her any gift after her breakthrough other than those cakes last nights.

"Maybe a bracelet or a doll," I mumble while thinking.

After I consider what gift I can give to Yan after this, I shift my attention to Dana's who checking his last patient today.

"Your crack bone is a bad one but not dangerous. However, you better to not use your left hand for a week, it will recovers within a week with your bloodline. Give this recipe in pharmacist, they will give you medicine to ease your pain," Dana says.

After hearing Dana's diagnosis, he seems dejected, a normal reaction for a farmer who can't work for a week in this fruitful season.

Well, nothing Dana can do about it, doctors aren't god who can heal everyone at will, we often encounter uncurable sickness and give the patients the bad news, their reaction is varied after hearing it -- denial, helplessness or even pure acceptance. We need to tell patients the truth from time to time, of course, some of them isn't a pleasant one -- after all that is one of doctors jobs.

Anyhow, this case is a mild one though.

The patients after dejected for a while he let out a little laugh, says it his time to rest for a while from farming and then thanking Dana for his diagnosis.

"Good work Dana," I say while bringing some cookies and milk for us after the patient left.

"Thank you," he says while taking one of the cookies in the plate.

We're drinking the milk and eating the cookies while talking about what happens when I didn't come yesterday. We talk leisurely, about the patients and Yan breakthrough.

"Hee, I didn't expect Yan already in the tenth level of Qi condensation," he says with amazement.

"I know right, she is a real genius in cultivation," I say proudly.

"Said a monster in cultivation himself," he jeers after hearing me boasting.

"Oh yeah, I nearly forgot about that," after saying that, he goes to another room and bring back a full stack of documents, "This is the result of research last month Vys."

"Oh, this fast."

I open the document one by one, looking at the data and analysis. The tip of my lips curled upwards. I feel elated after reading at the result, my hypothesis is proven true.

"Dana, can you step backward for like five steps," I instruct him.

I close my eyes, feeling abundant Qi around me. I purposely choose this place as my workplace because of Qi purity in this place. Therefore, I don't need to go to another place for what I do after this.

Cultivating is like building a home, to reach tall heights we need to make a solid foundation. Without a solid foundation, a cultivator to breakthrough will be smaller for each stage, the first foundation for every cultivator is Qi condensation stage. Therefore, many cultivators stay in the tenth level for many years, they refine their Qi to the upper limit and then attempting a major breakthrough to Foundation establishment stage.

Many factors that determine how long a cultivator stays in the tenth level like talent and meridians. However, this time I will attempt something that no one in this world did before. Well, maybe someone attempts it before but failed. Nevertheless, I will be the first one succeeded in doing it.

I activating my bloodline.

Qi gathering around me and then it flows into my body, it goes into all my bloodstreams and my Dantian. Slowly, Qi filling and reconstructing and strengthening all of my cells. While my body gets rebuild, the Qi is also refining my Dantian after each blood cycle inside my body.

Everything around me got pushed --chairs, tables, everything -- except for Qi which still flowing to my body, they swirl surging in my bloodstreams without a drop leaking outside my body, this situation can be achieved when someone did a perfect meditation and that situation exactly what I do now.

My body gets warmer in each cycle, but there no pain at all. I just feel a pleasant sensation when Qi flows inside my body. After a while, the process is finally complete and then I open my eyes looking at my hand, still experience warm feeling from earlier.

"Finally, I'm in the eleventh level."

Vys: … I am whom I chose to be. I am me.
