Cultivations

'Spirit cultivation is the cultivation of the soul with spirit power,' the system explained, 'it is stored in conscious space. Conscious space is inside your consciousness; it is a conscious space that you can enter after completing the heart chakra. Some might even enter before that due to a special body or some accident.

The conscious space reflects one's personality. If they are kind it will be beautiful scenery, if they are bad it will be ugly scenery, if they are violent it will be fire all around, if they are calm it will be water. It will change from time to time, so if one wants to know how his personality is, he needs to enter his conscious space. The levels are divided into 10 stages. They are called doors, 1 to 10.

Alchemist cultivates spirit cultivation. The ranks are divided into trainee, trainer, teacher, master, great master, grandmaster, alchemy king, alchemy emperor, alchemy saint and alchemy god.

Alchemists are well respected from a low level but blacksmiths are only respected when they are high level because people can't take high-grade pills as the energy-containing in pills will be high for their bodies but can use high-grade weapons but only for a few upper levels.

Pills are classified from 1 to 10 grades alined with alchemist ranks. The quality is determined in percentage, from 50% above the pill starts to give a glow, the more quality the more glow. Usually, an average alchemist can only make 30% quality of their level pill.

Body cultivation has various amounts of training and power but it doesn't have any levels, one can improve as much as he wants as long as he trains hard with perseverance. There are different grades of body cultivation methods and each grade needs a certain amount of toughness and strength to practice.

Some techniques can be cultivated to any level, for example, if a technique has several parts and each part can increase a certain amount of strength then the technique can be used for a lifetime to continuously gain strength.

So there is no need to learn other techniques but some techniques need a certain amount of strength and can only reach the practitioner to a certain level of strength, for such a technique, he should find another technique after reaching the highest level.

No one actually measures body cultivation with levels, they will only do it with kg units.

Usually, blacksmiths focus on body cultivation.

Blacksmith ranking – trainee, trainer, teacher, master, great master, grandmaster, weapon king, weapon emperor, weapon saint, and weapon god

Weapons are graded from 1 to 10 alined with blacksmith ranks. Further divided into low mid and high qualities.

Martial art and cultivation techniques have grades from 1 to 10 ranks, further divided into low, mid, and high. There are also martial arts called divine arts which can be practiced at any level, the power of consumption will be adjusted to their energy.

The learning of a technique is of 4 stages, the first stage is the basic stage, 2nd stage is the advanced stage, 3rd stage is the complete stage and 4th stage is the perfect stage.

Money. Mortals go with copper, silver and if they are rich gold coins. Cultivators start with silver coins. 1st level pill will be 100 silver coins on average. 100 copper is 1 silver, 1000 silver is 1 gold.'

Yuki got excited after hearing about new powers, 'so I need to cultivate and to earn money I also need to do another profession. I would have preferred blacksmith if I was a boy but now I have a girl's body, I will choose alchemy. System, put 6 talent stars in spirit and 6 talent stars in essence.'

System notified, 'successfully remolded the body to 9 stars in spirit, 9 stars in essence and 3 stars in the body. Now the shop is open for the host,' it showed 4th page.

Yuki saw books in every free choice that made her disappointed and thought, 'What is this? I thought I will get weapons to fight or potions to power up, why are there books?'

'These are techniques,' the system replied, 'they are also as important as potions and weapons, if you want to know about them, it will cost 1000 angry points, if you want to know about them according to your town knowledge it will be 100 angry points.'

'No need,' Yuki declined, 'I can just ask Yuki's father about them but now I know they are important, I will just redeem them first and keep them in item storage.'

'I am amazed this girl knows so much even though she is called waste,' exclaimed Yuki in surprise.

'When she was little she aspired to be a cultivator, so she researched many things but sadly her talent is very low,' the system explained.

Yuki immediately wanted to practice but it was night, she saw Akira was sleeping; she saw her palms and ironically thought, 'such little hands getting a task from the universe, I am sure it is not a small task. Yuki Kanakuba and that girl whom I couldn't save, I hope you both will get a good life in your next life,' she slept.

***

"...ng miss, young miss wake up," Yuki woke up tired when Aya was waking her up because her body got remolded 2 times in one day which consumed high energy. She got surprised by looking at her surroundings then it occurred to her that she got reincarnated.

Akira inside Yuki always had a good perspective in thinking, for him gender was the topic that should only be spoken on the bed, elsewhere he looked at humans as humans. So even though he became a girl, he only got disappointed, he was not depressed or devastated.

Aya was happy and asked, "Young miss, how did the night go?"

Yuki felt annoyed but she couldn't act out of character so even though it was embarrassing she said, "it….went well," by looking away.

"Young miss, you need to get freshen up. You can't let the Hoshi family see you as a lazy woman."

"Ok, take out a dress to exercise," Yuki asked. As she usually started the day with yoga, she wanted to do it here too.

"Young miss," Aya called in confusion, "why do you want to do exercise? You are already small and slim enough, any more will make you a skeleton."

"Don't ask questions, just give me a dress," said Yuki in annoyance because she didn't like people who talk useless things or useless concerns.

Yuki's clothes all were hanfu dresses. "Aren't there any pant and shirt type dresses?" asked Yuki as she felt the dress would get in her way.

"No young miss," replied Aya, "all you have are these, why do you want to wear pants?"

Yuki said, "I need to buy new clothes, aunt Aya, now I am married, will my old man give me money?"

Aya got confused and asked, "Who is this old man young miss?"

"Who else, my father." (Yuki refers to her father as old man casually but when she needed his help, she would call father in her previous life as Akira)

"Young miss," reproved Aya, "don't disrespect family head like that, you will be punished."

Yuki felt that the world was strict but took it lightly, "forget it. I will go to him now."

Young miss," Aya continued in worry, "you just got married yesterday, if you go home now the Hoshi family will lose face. You need to take Hoshi family's head's permission."

Yuki got annoyed by all this nonsense and agreed, "Fine."

She went to the Hoshi family hall where elders were gathered. Even Gakuto was there. Yuki got happy because now she didn't need to go to the Kanakuba family.

"Father, why did you come here?" Yuki asked him cheerfully so that they wouldn't get suspicious of her as another person but usually Akira in his previous life also was cheerful so he didn't have difficulty in acting, it came as natural but she couldn't act exactly as real Yuki.

Gakuto got relaxed that his daughter was happy and replied, "I just came to discuss business with brother Akihiko."

It came like a bombshell. Yuki felt like she just committed a taboo. She got freaked out and shouted, "What the hell? How could 2 brothers join their children in marriage? It is taboo. Why did people allow it? It's a good thing we didn't do anything in the bed."

She spilled the beans without thinking.

Everyone got dumb folded for her words. The system notified, 'Host, calling someone brother means they need not be born to the same parents, it is a way of addressing others.'

Yuki didn't want to accept such a thing because until then for her calling someone brother or sister meant they were like siblings. 'Who created such an outrageous thing?' Yuki asked to curse them.

"Yuki stop messing around. Why did you come here?" asked Gakuto to stop the embarrassment.

"I want to buy clothes, so I want money, give me some money," Yuki requested by accepting the brother part. She was too easy to get convinced because for her these things were illusions built by humans, so she didn't care much about them.

That was one of the reasons why the reincarnation cycle reincarnated her for a mission.

The system explained for 10 angry points, 'in Chinese it is common to address other as brother and sister, this land has similar traditions of Chinese. As the language is similar to Japanese you misunderstood the calling.'

'Tradition is Chinese, language is Japanese and power is Indian type,' Yuki said sarcastically, 'Aren't there any other traditions?'

'Every world has its own traditions,' the system continued, 'just because you came from that world, that doesn't mean the traditions here must be like that.'
