Spirit Arrays and Spirit Tools
It was 7PM, the sky colored in a dark blue with a lot of shiny white stars, a crescent moon was lighting the now cold forest, giving it an otherwordly atmosphere the night breeze was calming passing through the trees, making noise, the smell of blood could be felt as a young man would moan in pain at every step he takes.
Shi was dragging the tiger body using his own, using the clothes inside the ring he made a rope, he would sigh, seeing that even the clothes of those core disciples are way better than anything the people in the village had.
The 3 claw marks on his chest would bring pain every movement he made because the ropes are knotted on his left shoulder and wrist, only his right shoulder was free, with blue paste on it.
The smell of the tiger and blood would leave the others beasts away, helping Shi on his journey.
2 hours later he stopped at the moist cave cavity, he stopped and drop on the floor, he was exhausted, his muscle aching and his wounds hurting.
The giant body wouldn't pass through the cavity, so he left the body lying down there, he gets up and got to the river, using his hands to throw water on his body cleaning his wounds, seating near the border he started cultivating, not for an advance but trying to get hold of his experiences today and to recover.
"Atchooo~" he sneezed "That hot gorilla maybe is talking about you, weirdo" The dragon joked with his son.
Shi only rolled it eyes at him, it was a woman anyway, it would take some time for him to be fully normal with one.
"What we going to do with this huge beast body use its blood to fertilize? I only have some low-grade herbs, and that stupid guy didn't have anything besides wine and clothes, even on spirit jades he was poor" said Shi looking at the river, he took a spirit jade from the ring and took a good look at it.
it was just a pyramid looking stone, it had a jade luster, and shined with some low energy inside it.
"You going to take all its valuable, cut all his meat and put inside a wooden basing, take his pelt with care and take all his teeth and claws to make weapons and tools with it, it's bone we can make some wine, but it will need some spiritual fruit" the dragon said, he got above the tiger's body and said "come, I will pass you an image of me doing it and you going to do by yourself.
Shi was trying his best, he would commit some newbies mistakes, but the dragon would try to correct him before he took a bad habit, after some time there was a poor made giant basin made of wood full with blood, on the left side was a basin with at least all meat of the tiger at its top was laying the tiger penis.
Shi's short sword couldn't cut the tiger bones, teeth, and claws so he let the skeleton that way for now because his father was going to teach a new skill to him, spirit arrays arranging.
Shi felt a headache and a diagram showed in his head, it was a hexagon, it was drawn on a white floor, it had a lot of simple lines making the spirit qi flow toward where the runes are laying one of the runes was the old 'spirit' but the other one was a new rune it's meaning was 'ice'.
Long Shin wanted to help the boy make a refrigerator, he didn't tell anything to Shi, since it didn't need technology after all spirit energy and spirit techniques could do everything better than technology.
Long Shin's first life was on the Earth, his second one on a spiritual world like Shi, because of almost dying of hungry Long Shin could review his old life.
After ascending from his old world, he took a vacation on Earth to learn all the things he wanted, but in the end, he saw that Spiritual Qi was way better than tech, just the method they used in Earth was better for researching, so he took the research method and unified with spiritual qi.
Shi started using a piece of wood, trying to get the hang of the drawing, after some tries he got to the moist stone floor near the altar and started sculping the same diagram at it.
After some time Shi shouted with his head full of perspiration "Done, take a look father!".
"Hm? ahaHAHAHAHAA you call it done? now I understand Senior Yellow when he laughed at my buddha sculpture" Long Shin was laying with his hand at his stomach laughing at the ugly diagram on the floor, Shi was at looking at the diagram twitching his lips feeling annoyed.
"Ok, Ok don't be mad, it doesn't matter, since it's only to the meat don't get spoiled, now put a spirit jade on the 'spirit' rune" said the dragon cleaning the tears in his eyes.
Shi stop messing around and put a spirit jade on the rune, the diagram started to shine, but it was very weak, and only a misty could've been seen getting out of the floor.
"Now put those basins, with blood and meat here" Long Shin instructed Shi.
After putting those basins on the top of the array Shi could see the meat and the blood slowly starting to freeze, after some time even the moist walls and floor are starting to freeze.
"From now on you will learn how to sculpt basic tools and figures and try to combine runes in diagram's like this one on the floor, also, you going to make a new schedule of exercises, You will study and train in the morning and hunt in the evening and night," Long Shin said seriously.
"You will use most of beasts meat as your main diet, you can use those herbs and flower that you found hunting on the flavor, we will make some changes in the cave from now on, take that tiger pelt, go take some bamboos and make a bed, and go sleep" Long Shin said before entering the golden jewel at the hidden circlet.

Time flies and was already 1 month since Cuifen meets Long Shi, she was taking a sunbath lying down on the grass looking at the cloud's in the sky, the hot weather makes her white jade skin shine moisten in sweat.
Cultivators from the Body Refining Stage aren't so different from mortals, only at the 5th layer, they would have a great change in their spirit qi sea, and body, mostly because of the awakening of their bloodline.
She was also known by the Fiery Enchantress of the Blossom Lotus Evil Sect, her bloodline was a Fiery Serpent, a grade 4 Spirit Beast, giving her affinity with fire and bewitching techniques, mostly of bewitching techniques are on the evil path, very few people with bewitching nature would take the righteous path, it was hard when the opposite sex wanted to devour you since you where a kid, only the lucky ones could have a guardian, happily for her she was one.
She was dressed in a red strapless dress with black lotus details on it, on her left shoulder til her chest a blue scab was lying like a river cutting her deep valley, she took a final look at it before pull it like she was waxing.
There was no pain, looking at her shoulder and middle chest, nothing, not a single one scar could've been seen, her mouth was hanging like an 'o'.
"He was telling the truth" she said in a low voice, this time whoever her voice was calm, and nothing bewitching like before.
Taking the little bamboo package she decided to go see the only alchemist disciple from her sect, she was a girl with a very fiery demeanor, she had a lot of yang on her body since she was practicing alchemy and didn't had a natural or innate flame, so she keeps injecting flame energy on her.

Four months later Shi was below the waterfall, the water hitting his shoulder and back, on his shoulder none scar could've been seen, but on his chest, had three big claws marks making him look like a tribal warrior, he was seated on a hand-made stone platform below the waterfall.
His black shiny hair had some purple glint on it, falling from his scalp to the middle of his chest, his golden tear mark was even bigger, his sword eyebrows are laying calm in his handsome face, bellow his chiseled nose, his nostril would open as little snakes made of spirit qi keep entering it, and not long after they would go off from his mouth.
The weather was less hot, the smell of flower and herbs permeating the air, behind the waterfall his cave was not moist anymore, there was a lot of ugly looking diagrams laying on the floor and walls, making it dry and warm.
There was a bed made of bamboo and a tiger pelt, with a lot of wolfs pelts lying there, like pillows, a lot of yellow papers could've been seen on a wooden table, on top of it was also a lantern made of stone.
Near the pond behind the waterfall, there was a clay furnace where a lot of clay figures, cups, even some ugly-looking metal tools are lying.

Six months later Shi was beating a hot piece of metal, it was laying on a big stone anvil he made.
"BANG" his stone hammer fell on the hot iron.
"BANG, BANG"
"Beat it on the center, make the metal grown to the side" Long Shin was fluctuating on his side, giving him only some direction and never really teaching him too much.
He liked to do this way, he didn't like to mess too much in his children's way, all daos begin and end in the heavenly dao, so there was no meaning trying to force someone dao on other people throat.
"BANG!" he beat the metal, that now looked like a fiery red flat stick, he put the metal flat stick on the pond.
"TSSSSSSSSS" the water noise was heard, he took it back, it was almost a normal length sword, it was an alloy made of the short sword and the coat hanger sword.
He picked it and put on the fire again, taking it when it was hot he kept hammering the sides, really slow trying to giving the one-meter sword an edge.
After a lot of hammers he took it again on the pond, picking a tool that looked like a stone nail he put it near the sword handler, and slowly started to hammering with very little strength, after some time a 'spirit' rune was formed and the sword shined in a sky blue beautiful color.
"Congratulations Shi'er, your first spirit sword is born!" said Long Shin with a smile, he truly liked to see a spirit tool being born.
