A Cruel Set Up

Momo's food arrived at the house the next morning, brought over by a motherly woman. Once the woman left, Alex went to see Momo who was in the middle of eating.

"Master," she said, quickly putting down the utensils.

"Eat. Don't mind me," Alex said, sitting close by. 

Momo nodded and resumed eating her food.

"I've prepared the book for you," he said. "You will need to read it during the day and be ready to use it by the night."

"Oh…" Momo said, looking down at the book. She read the name and flipped through it to see what it wrote. At this stage, they couldn't truly cultivate on their own with their Qi alone, so they needed help.

The technique was more of a breathing technique to simulate what gathering Qi through cultivation techniques was like. If not, no person could begin cultivating on their own.

There wasn't much to learn as the book was quite small. Momo nodded after flipping through it all. "I should be able to learn through it."
