Chapter 22

A lonely boy sat on a silk pillow in a garden looking at a lotus pond full of fish swimming around elegantly.

It was I Mao Qiang three years old and bored out of my mind.

It's been a few years since being reborn a fourth time and things have been rather slow.

Usually, something happens by now but I've just been living normally.

All I got to do is ask for something and they give it to me.

Whether it's food, clothes, or toys they just give it to me I can also go anywhere I want except outside, however.

I'm really bored so you know what I want to start cultivating.

With the amount of talent, I have why shouldn't I begin cultivating right now?

So I went to my mom Ao Mei if you could even call her a parent to ask her if I can start cultivating her response was expected.

"I'll ask your dad so go away now mother is busy,"

She'd always say something like that in a completely uninterested tone basically ignoring what I say.

It was only occasionally that she would get me what I ask for usually, I have to ask dozens of times before I get what I want but not this time.

If she wouldn't help me then I have to do it myself but how to do it?

I sat down on my pillow again and began thinking about how I'm going to start cultivating.

I know to break through into the first realm the body tempering realm I need a body refining technique but I don't have one.

So what can I do? oh, I got an idea.

Instead of trying to break through into the first realm, I should just jump right into the second realm the Qi gathering realm.

In the first realm, all you do is strengthen your body but my body is already strong enough that going through that realm would be pointless so skipping it is the right call.

In the Qi gathering realm, you just gather Qi from the surrounding environment and bring it into your body.

To put it in metaphorical terms in the first realm you're building a jar after that in the second realm you fill that jar with water.

I already have the jar I just need to fill it.

I closed my eyes and focused on my surroundings I immediately sensed the spiritual Qi around me and started to draw it into my body.

The spiritual Qi formed an actual sea as it was gently pulled into my body.

This wasn't something a mortal could do only true geniuses could sense and control spiritual Qi while still being normal people.

It was common sense that only people who reached the peak of the body tempering realm could sense and absorb spirit Qi.

However, that doesn't apply to heavens favorites blessed by the world from birth.

For guys like me doing something like this was easy.

After a little while, all the Qi in the mansion was pulled into me and I completely broke through all nine cycles of the Qi gathering realm.

Now it's time for the third step I then focused on my soul drawing out its power than using it to forcibly break through the soul formation realm.

I drew in a nice breath of fresh air before standing back up and stretching my body.

"I'm at the peak of the soul formation realm again it took what five years in my last life but this time it took less than a day,"

It's great being a freak of nature cultivating is so easy but even though I've reached this point I don't know what to do now there's also another issue.

It's my blood Qi it's weak I began feeling it and found that my spirit Qi was pure and bountiful.

I had a ridiculous amount of it but it wasn't heterogeneous in fact it was incredibly pure my blood Qi was a different story there was very little of it.

Way less than what I had in my last life but it wasn't weak it was actually pretty dense but in the future, I'll need to find a good body refining method to make up for this weakness.

As I stood in the garden thinking about my future cultivation my mother Ao Mei ran towards me.

She had an upset look on her as she angrily strutted over to me.

This can't be good I thought as she approached me I just knew she was going to scream my ears off this time.
