The Cultivator Association 1

In a wooden house inside a room on the bed, A child can be seen sleeping. This was Ryu Tatsuya, After going for an awakening ceremony a day prior he lost consciousness and is still sleeping.

As the sun came up a rustle could be heard in the room of the child. AS Ryu woke up suddenly "gasp, Haa Haa.."

"RYU... You woke up finally" shouted amilia startling Ryu as he was sleeping on the bed. Suddenly she runs towards Ryu, Holds him tightly, and gives him a hug "Thank the heavens nothing happened to you"

Hearing this Ryu understood that whatever happened he gave trouble to his family members of his. Then he spoke again "sorry mother for making you worry"

" I am happy as long as nothing happens to you, So make sure you don't scare mother like that okay?" Amilia spoke patting Ryu's head.

"Yes mother I will remember it, And Mother can you tell me what happened to me?"

"oh that, well your body is not fully grown for awakening it seems. So when you tried to awaken you stressed your newly opened meridian too much it seems, well that's what the physician said and told us as long as you rest and don't force much you will have no problem" Amilia answered with a worried face.

" Oh, But mother how long do I have to rest"

"Hmm, well at least another day then you are free to move a little I guess!"

' I pushed too much while awakening it seems, well After I awakened I can work with father to relieve grandfather from burdens but if it seems I can only make them worry, I will have to revise my plans of working I guess '

And with this, his mind started racing to think about what he needed to do.

Seeing her child Amilia's face softened a little and she went to do her work.

Inside the room, Ryu came out of thought and remembered that he awakened "since I awakened means I am now a cultivator, Let's see at least how my dantian is?"

Ryu then pushed himself into the Lotus position and started focusing on his dantian. After calming his mind he began to focus and soon focused on the dantian.

As he found that the filament protecting the dantian was nowhere to be seen and inside the dantian, there was a small circular glow which was indicating that he now had become a cultivator.

After seeing this he became happy and then thought that now he only had to get to open the other meridians so that he can become stronger soon and then help too.

He then first started the Basic breathing technique which helps in gathering outside spiritual energy through the nose and mouth then collecting in the stomach and providing it to the dantian. This was the basis of cultivation which all the cultivators have to do.

Of course, there were other methods for this but they were not feasible for Ryu or not known to him. Just as he started collecting some spiritual energy The moment the energy went close to the meridian which was opened started aching.

Ryu frowned and gritted his teeth and stopped using the Basic cultivation technique. Ryu opened his eyes showing a pained face,

'It seems that my meridian has been damaged a little and will need time to recover, So I can not increase the Spiritual qi in my body.'

Then he lay on the bed again while having some pain in the stomach and slept for some time.

After a day Ryu woke up and cleaned himself in the early morning. There was some excitement showing on his face.

Last night when Roland came to visit him he told Ryu that "Even though you are a little sick now that you awakened your spiritual qi will make your body stronger than a normal rate."

"And since you awakened we will be going to the Cultivators association Tomorrow to register you as a cultivator. we will also get the opportunity to know what are your Elemental affinities too and your potential.."

And now in the morning when he came out of the house Roland was already waiting outside. When Roland saw Ryu he spoke " Are you ready for registering at the association? "

"Yes, Grandpa I am ready" Ryu spoke feeling very excited to see the association. When he earlier wanted to see the association and asked his father for showing him around.

But John told him" I can take to near it but for going inside There is a rule that non-awakened can not go inside so you can't go in for now, and when you awaken you can directly go in without me needing you, so sorry my son"

So now when he was already a cultivator he could go there and see this cultivator association from inside too. "Don't be nervous and remember to be calm when testing okk"

"Yes, Grandpa" Ryu gave a quick reply. and Roland nodded " okay then let's go"

Then The Grandfather and His Grandchild started walking towards the direction of the town. After walking towards the town for Half an hour they saw an entrance to the town for which Roland showed a batch and they were granted entry.

This was the Crimson town on the eastern side of the Barun kingdom. and this was where his family would sell their wood which was collected in the crimson forest which was near the town's western part.

After coming into the town Ryu began seeing here and there at first because the houses and the inns which were inside the town were all of higher quality than their own house.

This did not mean that he didn't like their house of theirs but he admired the new and better things. This was because when he saw the town for the first time he was mesmerized because of sudden improvement So he promised himself that he will make their home better like these houses which were in the town.

After seeing this scenery for some time they came closer and closer to the building in the center of the town. Now it was in view a seven-staller building standing at the center of the city and various Beasts were carved and at the top were A Dragon and A Phoenix facing outward towards the sides.

After a few minutes of walking, they got near the gate which was at least 5 meters tall and 10 meters wide where people were going and coming out. Two guards were standing outside of the gate and they were checking the Identification of the people who entered.

After they got near the gate Roland showed the batch And said that " My grandchild awakened yesterday so I brought him for Registration" and put a pouch in the hand of the guard.

The guard looked at Ryu Examined him a little and then said "go in "

Roland Smiled and said "thank you" and walked in holding Ryu's hand.

As they came inside Ryu heard

''WELCOME TO THE CULTIVATOR ASSOCIATION"
