"Uncle you can use this room, for now, If you need something please let me know.", Shin left Rudra to his own devices after escorting him to one of the rooms in the manor.As the Giri Manor was located in an isolated countryside where only members of Giri clan lived so all the ch.o.r.es were done by clan members" they couldn"t hire a maid even if they wanted to. Giri manor was located very close to a village called Dim Pearl Village because of its proximity to the Dim Pearl Lake, most of the villagers were involved in either farming or fishing for pearls but when the Lake was exhausted of all of its pearls; the population of the village took a hit and the final nail in the coffin was the formation of Pine Leaf Town, which incentivized for the villagers to relocate to the town.
Now the town was abandoned and the only people residing in the area were the people from Giri Clan.
Rudra settled down on the bed and planned to cultivate Qi in his Dantian.
He was going to cultivate the same Qi that the whole Giri clan cultivated the Verdant Mountain Qi.
It had already been cultivated by Old Man Rishi so he knew all the ins and out of this Qi.
He sat in the Lotus Posture and started cultivating his the Verdant Mountain Qi soon a cloud of brown qi with a tinge of green started gathering in his Dantian, Rudra was elated he started cultivating with even more concentration. Shin had come to call him over for dinner but seeing him cultivating decided it would be unwise to disturb Rudra so he left. The Night pa.s.sed and with the first light of the dawn, Rudra broke into Qi condensation Early Stage.
"Cultivating is a slow and gradual process but why has my Beast cultivation progressed so much in just one night."
Rudra cursed at the unfairness of the World. He had realized that Magical Beasts being the darlings of heavens did not require one to cultivate even if they slept their body automatically cultivated.
That was why most beasts only needed to eat and sleep. His Beast Cultivation which was being let"s say managed by Yali had advanced 2 steps in its cultivation while he had only entered Qi condensation 1 stage.
He had been told by Yali that the Beast cultivation system differed from Humans.
It involved refining every part of its body, which was why the various parts of Magical and Demonic Beasts were seen as treasure because they had acc.u.mulated different forms of Qi.
He also came to know that Elemental affinities were even stricter for the beasts than a human.
A human with fire-based Qi could use a water qi based technique albeit very poorly but the same could not be true for a beast.
The Heavenly Nether Lion had affinities for Fire and Lightning. which were opposite to the affinities of his Demonic Heart Yakshis Wood Qi and the Marauder Earth Qi.
The natural affinity of his clan was Earth. He too had a predisposed Earth-based immortal spirit.
"Wait, the immortal spirit is back."
"Yes it is there I can feel it in my Dantian.", He peered inside his Dantian to find a miniature mountain sitting in his dantian surrounded by Verdant Mountain Qi the mountain had a long fissure running through it.
[It is called Immortal spirit for a reason it"s immortal they aren"t supposed to die they just travel in the bloodline of the family]
[Yes" only some selected beings have Immortal spirits; Spirits are lineage bound that is why only a single type of Immortal Spirits appear in a family or clan why do you think all Giri clan members have Affinity for Earth Element]
[All the immortal spirit in your lineage must be Earth-based right?]
[But this Mountain immortal spirit is damaged]
"Do you know how we can fix it?", Rudra asked hopefully
[I don"t know much about Immortal Spirits as we don"t have one](Here Yali is talking about Beasts as general)
[I only know this much about Immortal Spirits]
"Wait doesn"t every person get to awaken their Immortal Spirits during the Awakening ceremony."
"Can we help me awaken one too?", Rudra"s asked excitedly.
"Wait so let"s go try to awaken one now"
Rudra was reminded of the fact that Rishi had joined a sect that had allowed him to awaken his immortal spirit.
"Looks like I really must join a Sect", Rudra mulled over the idea while looking at the Cracked Mountain Immortal Spirit in his Dantian which was now allowing him to absorb Earth Qi faster.
