Cultivation

"So first enjoy cultivation and then worry about failing; don't ever forget this or you would suffer. Before getting on to cultivation let me briefly deliberate about our school."

"Natal Dawn School is in Pregrandis Lake, but before the school was constructed Pregrandis Lake was also one of the Dead Zone of Unigux. The lake was surrounded by thick blanket like forest filled Evil demonic monsters and the lake itself had numerous ominous aquatic beasts.

Pregrandis Lake had the thickest Qi in Unigux and thus the monsters near it were all extremely strong. Even then many cultivators didn't hesitate to take the risk for the various treasures. Some even tried to conquer the lake for the rich Qi but all of them irrespective of their cultivation were ruthlessly killed.

The beasts will also frequently cause beast tides and kill thousands of people. One day a beast tide caused the death of beloved daughter of our school founder. Our Founder was a very strong cultivator during his time.

So the enraged founder killed his way through the forest and conquered the lake. But he lost many of his friends who took place in the expedition and he was even more hear-broken.

Then founded Natal Dawn School to find peace of mind he led the school to apex of glory during his last days. He made numerous contributions to the school which helped the school grow to such height.

Ronadak city was built by the later generation to support the school and settle near the school. In fact, more than three- fourth of the population in the Ronadak is connected to Natal Dawn School in one way or other." When Fran was telling about the school's history he was filled with pride.

"You must have realized that our school has humongous student population; so the islands in the lake were made into separate sections. It could be said that every island is a separate school, or the islands are schools inside a school.

"Then every island was given a distinct name and group of teacher manage the island. It also improves the competitive spirit of the students. Our island is Dusty Zephyr Island and the teachers are headed by Teacher Ben."

"Though there is fierce competition between the islands the whole school is knitted as close as family. Whenever there one of our school members faces a problem we must back them up."

"The main reason our school successful till now is unity; you are the future pillars of our school so remember this no matter where you or who you become or what you achieve your school is your family." Fran was preaching a priest it was very boring.

"I suppose we have had enough about the school now let's start about cultivation. Everyone must have already realized the importance of cultivation so listen carefully."

The moment he started to talk about cultivation a crazy glint appeared in his eyes like a fanatic football fan who was explaining about football.

"Cultivation is absorbing Qi from the surrounding into the body. There are many ways to do cultivation like typical cultivation through various manuals, soul cultivation, spirit cultivation, body refining, Qi-synthesis, law attainment and the list goes on."

"Though it sounds simple actually there are numerous complex issues involved in cultivation which are beyond your current level. So let explain to in simple terms for your understanding."

"Everything we do is cultivation; for instance, even when you are sitting Qi will be absorbed by the body. This process is called Qi-respiration it's just like breathing the only difference is that we breathe through our nose but we cultivate through the pores in every part of the body."

"Then everyone will be thinking why we have so many methods to cultivate, if we could just sit ideally and cultivate automatically?" Fran paused for a bit for them think and continued again.

"Normally Qi enters the body and exits, this is a natural phenomenon that takes place in everything from a mountain to a grain of sand from an ant to an elephant. But only a very small fraction of the Qi is absorbed by the body. The various cultivation methods use different tricks to increase the rate of assimilation of Qi."

"Now everyone should have some clarity about cultivation now let me test you with a fundamental question. What do you thing is the most important thing for cultivation?"

Fran waited for the children to think, but he didn't give the answer instead encouraged them to try. After sometime one boy stood up.

"Teacher, I think having an extra ordinary cultivation manual is the most important for cultivation."

Though it was surely a wrong answer Fran didn't scold or discourage the kid he just nodded.

"Okay you sit down; others also try to answer I'm not expecting a brilliant or enlightening answers from you guys so just try."

After that few more kids answered like divine pills, Qi rich environment, heavenly physique, talents etc. Quinn was watching these silently, he didn't bother to answer.

In his previous life Quinn was an outstanding student, it was also one of the reason he ended with having no friends. He was always few steps ahead of his peers, that they would feel inferior or jealous or envious, so he ended up with no friends.

He wants to lead a different life so he decided not to actively exhibit his talents; moreover, he was still not clear about the implications of Grade -2 innate body so he decided to maintain low-key. Actually he knew the real reason for his isolation is his personality - cold and repulsive.

After a while no one answered as they were running out of ideas so Fran spoke. "All the answers you gave have certain impact on cultivation but they are not the most compelling factor."

"The most critical point is to have a solid foundation. One must understand that for cultivating you must first have a qualified body to bear the burden Qi, as cultivation is mainly about motion of Qi in your body. The process of preparing your body for cultivation is called Body refining."

Body refining nine steps-

Level 1-Skin Hardening

Level 2-Muscles strengthening

Level 3-Forging Bones

Level 4-Blood cleansing

Level 5-Blood revitalizing

Level 6-Blood-Qi fusion

Level 7-Meridian Building

Level 8-Meridian Tempering

Level 9-Meridian Expanding

There are many different body refining arts each has their own properties like Tremor recoil body art can reduce the effect of an attack by distributing through the body; Golden metallic body art gives abnormal defense; Cloudy Gale art makes the body light and speedy; Fire Radiance art which give the explosiveness of fire and so on.

The school has many body refining arts; you must carefully select the body refining art as it lays the foundation for your future cultivation. This selection is very crucial and the art you select must be suitable and compatible for you.

Everyone must complete your body refining before you reach 10 years. The 10th year of your life is most important period of your life because it is the most suitable period for Spirit Awakening. I will discuss about Spirit Awakening later."

"Let windup this session with this and go around island. As explaining further about cultivation might be overdose for you kids." After that he got down and walked outside.
