2 The rise of the ancestor

Chapter 2

It has been a few years since I discovered that my curse from eons ago was still affecting the way of cultivation and the Dao path of every male in this modern world, including myself until I dispelled it.

I also learned that in this modern world is run by women in every sense, from the hard labor work of construction to even military might and government affairs', men have been demoted to nothing more than housewives and maids of this time.

I wasn't idle during these years of cultivation and of information gathering either, I have risen to the peak of the Qi gathering stage, which is level twelve for myself, surprisingly I found out that for the women of this world that level nine is the highest in this world.

It also wasn't easy to gather and compound that much power inside my body and still stay away from the foundation stage in addition to having to hid it from my mother.

Although the news of my cultivation accomplishments are shocking it was even more so when my parents decided to add another child to this slightly dysfunctional family.

In their 'adventure' in the carnal flesh of each other they had a daughter, she was born just about two years younger than myself.

She was both adorable and cuter when she was still an infant, she followed and came with me every day when I went to the backyard to cultivate and her first words were to call me big brother when she was two years old.

Now that I'm around seven or eight the girl has become a brat that wants to be in my business and to know everything that I want to do alone every day.

Besides that, I have started elementary school and have discovered that boys are the girls of this time and the girls try to get our attention with strength and skills, that was a shock when a girl came up to me and asked me to be her boyfriend while flexing.

Of course, in cultivation and that I'm at the peak of the Qi Gathering stage and have experience of what to do for the first bottleneck that this body will experience, I can use my Qi as a supplement to my strength instead of medicines, the only problem with this method is that my body can't handle the breakthrough into the foundation stage now as it is to young to handle that much power.

so I decided to do something productive with my time that I found for myself and found a book inside my mother's study that was published by the military about martial arts.

The book has some of the same elements as the old scriptures that I studied and practice in the past but with a few key differences nowadays it is told that the ability to condense and refined Qi could be done in the beginning stages instead of the higher realms you get into.

While I do know this could be done in theory back in my time, it was only widely known that only after the Open Gate Path stage is when you could refine and condense inner Qi, I decided to give it a try and see if what the book described could be done, so I first condense my level twelve Qi into level six which caused it to have the density of level twelve.

To refine the Qi, I used a method that I thought of when I was an immortal I span it clockwise in the center and counterclockwise in the outer edge of my core to form a type of grinder motion to expel the impurities and to my surprise it further condensed and shrunk into a level three core as the dregs of impurities from the natural Qi of the world that I had gathered, the dregs were brought out of the energy to form a series of catacombs that surrounded the old perimeter of my level Twelve core.

I chose to take this as an example of the new cultivation style of this new era and that my knowledge of past and modern techniques could be merged and strengthen into a stronger cultivation technique, and with these new revelations of my cultivation technique it would help me to become even more powerful than I was in the past.

Now I just need time to gather my energy into the twelfth level again so that my breakthrough into the Foundation stage would have a higher affinity for the future, my time that was supposed to be wasted to wait in ageing of this body was easy to take advantage now that I have a new way to be productive in excess for now.

Also since I'm younger than a hundred years old I must deal with the problems of childhood my teen and adult years are ahead and it is just the brat that is my problem for now... thankfully.

"Alex, since you know the answer to this question then you can solve it in front of everyone." The gruff voice of the teacher woke me from my inner thoughts as the class of third graders snicker at my 'mis' fortune.

'It's just a simple addition problem, might as well solve it so that he can leave me alone.' I thought as I walked to the whiteboard to write the answer in amazing penmanship for someone my age.

'This is so easy even making the techniques from my old time from scratch are more challenging than this, maybe I can skip a grade so that my mother can leave dad alone for a while.' I thought as I finished the whole board of questions as I showed my work so that he couldn't say that I was just cheating.

"Alright, Alex you can take a seat and do this quiz while I teach the rest of the class." Grumbled a thirty-something older man.

Within five minutes I return to the man, paper in hand, to give it to him when he scoffed at me, "I knew you couldn't do it without help let me see what you're having trouble in." he grabbed the paper and scanned it to see it was finished.

After that day, the teacher just gave me quiz after quiz to test my limit of the knowledge that I was supposed to be too young to know in my age group as it wasn't taught yet, it was when I didn't falter from the excess of homework and quizzes that he talked with the board of education to raise me up a grade as I gained his respect from my dedication of studies.

even when the other teachers tried to do the same to see if I was ready is when I started to do the same in other classes that the school administrator gave a test to me personally to see if I was truly ready for middle school.

When I passed that with full marks I was immediately transferred to the middle school across the city to handle me, and that is where I had my chance to cultivate under threats and stress from those who ' supposedly' held a higher rank and ability to myself, the likes my young body hasn't had the time to acquire from combat.

Within a year of moving from elementary to middle school I was constantly hazed for my 'cute' appearance from the boys that were starting to become interested in girls, along with the girls themselves as they try to maul me with hugs, kisses, and gropes of not so innocent hands.

Thankfully after a year of amassing my Qi and refining it, tonight is the night that I can breakthrough into the foundation stage as the excess and pure Qi caused my body to become sturdy enough to start the refining process of my body little by little, I didn't want to explain why I grew a few feet in height when I was just ten.

So, getting ready for my breakthrough for tonight I filled the bath with hot water after making sure that everyone inside the house was asleep, having an incense that could help clear my thoughts was a send from the heavens so that I could refine my body the way I learned how to along with the modern technique's.

While the new method of this time is tamer for female cultivators to refine and strengthen their bodies, I just fused both mine and the modern version to further the results, help refine, and condense my body to the utmost possibility of the Foundation stage.

Taking a deep breath, I submerge myself inside the scalding hot water to help get the dregs out of my body and collect them without leaving the smell, I broke through the bottleneck that kept me at the Qi gathering stage and entered the foundation stage.

Surprisingly, it hurt less than in the past but had a major kick to my core as the energy of the world hammered the dregs that I have built up for a few years like a sledgehammer to concrete as the outer layer of the refined dregs of my core burst outside the body so it could enter into the core to condense it further to become strong enough to refine my body and remove my inner dregs.

As the energy surged into my core my marrow inside my bones and some major organs began to absorb the pure excess Qi and vital energy that was inside my core to expel my impurities through my pores and mouth to also fill in and repair the organs that the impurities were attached to.

My lungs were able to purify the carbon dioxide inside my blood into oxygen even faster when the impurities were drawn out, my heartbeat began to slow to a steady rhythm as it moved its impurities through the body, my liver was also the heaviest in impurities along with my mind that it caused the whole tub to become black after a full circulation.

Just as I reached the peak of level three in the foundation stage I stopped and cleaned myself from the dregs before I dried myself from the water, instead of wasting something most valuable to my cultivation I used my Qi to gather my dregs inside the bath and condensed them into five pellets.

Taking the dregs from the tub I cut my palm on both hands to begin to form the pills needed for the body refinement stage that even someone in the Qi gathering stage could make and used both the dregs and my blood to condense them into blood Qi pills that are used to replenish the blood and heal the bones when pure and have other ordinary herbs.

After an hour of making nine blood Qi pills, I replace the tub's now cold water with fresh scalding water and swallowed all nine pills along with going with a theory of rotating my core in three dimensions instead of just two to further refine my core.

I put it into three different rotations, by having it revolve up and clockwise for the inner core along with down and counterclockwise for the outer core while adding a layer in between them that moved left and right, the natural Qi rushed into my core once again to form another layer of impurities along with the old ones that I just ingested with the blood Qi pills.

With me refining my major organs and the marrow inside my bones my Qi was also further refined and flowed with controlled grace with the dregs to get rid of most of the impurities for the rest of the night.

Come morning I have eighteen blood Qi pills along with a level four physic and core, only to have a level one cultivation Foundation stage base.

Feeling the effects of using the blood pills to help refine my body with my own dreg's was the best thing to think of for refining the body this early into cultivation, now I can go hand to hand with high school girls that practice martial arts but didn't cultivate.

I wonder how the future will look like with my knowledge and the modern tactics of this monarchy world of cultivation.
