11 Cultivators

Anila also became slightly amused as she had a helpless smile.

"Mom you should teach me how to wield a sword maybe I have more talent for that like father have"

"Your mom is no swordsman, but kitchen knives are no swords."

"You use to tell me trees would grow in my stomach if I swallowed any seeds. If that's possible, it won't be that surprising."

"You can try your luck with someone from The Throne Restorers my little sword Master."

"When will I be able to make fire" Rais was in a pleasant mood.

"You did good but don't get ahead of yourself. There are many basics you need to learn before you can start learning magic spells."

Rais nodded in agreement.

"You did make it ten times, but you are defeating the purpose of the training. Run inside the house and get the rest of the knives."

Rais flashed inside the house again and got the whole set of knives.

"Now increase your distance by three times and try making it with both arrows and the knives."

Rais walked backward as the target appeared smaller and smaller. Rais used all his power to throw the knives but the knives merely reached the front of the target. He was barely able to hit the corner of the target board once.

"Now try the bow this time."

Rais became stupefied when his first arrow almost made it to the center. He kept trying until his last arrow hit the center. Although one of the arrows made it to the center, he was to hit the target every time.

Rais maintained a helpless smile. "Alright, I understand"

"I will explain to you about magic, but you are still doing you target practice in the regular time."

"From now on you have to work harder on the martial art exercises I taught you so you can start opening your meridians. The stronger you corporeal body is the easier it will be to set an excellent foundation. Listen carefully because of this the most essential things."

"There are three types of energy a person need to learn if he ever wants to make big in the world."

"The spiritual energy that comes from the soul of living and the dead. The true qi energy represents the energy of all living and nonliving material have and the magic energy, the most mysterious form of energy. It doesn't have any source and its completely external. Its origin is unknown and debated, but it is also the most abundant form of energy."

"Each type of energy allows various uses and they complement each other to cover the weakness of one another."

Rais set there and listened but he followed some of the things his mom was talking about.

Seeing him confused Anila extended her hand and coldness started spreading fast and Ice started forming on her palm.

"Mom how did you make ice so fast. You said it took some time to cast a magic spell."

"This is what I was talking about I don't have to cast because I have source water attribute created from true qi within my primordial qi domain. This is the advantage of combining all the energy. One source of your power will boost the other source of power, and slowly you would become unstoppable."

Rais sat there and carefully listened to Anila.

"A magic practitioner becomes a magus, and a spirit energy controller becomes essence premier. A true qi refiner becomes a warrior but all there path is limited. They will never become a true powerhouse. Only the ones that cultivate the three energies will become a genuine powerhouse. A Cultivator represents the sole way to reach the apex."

"Mom, can you use all three types of energy?"

Seeing his mother not responding to him he knew his mother also knew control spirit energy. He became amazed because all of this was very new to him.

"It's almost impossible to control spirit energy. Your mom has a powerful soul force but even now after practicing for so long I barely touched the threshold of what is truly possible."

"The true qi is equally hard to control but if you are able to strengthen your body and open significant amounts of meridians you will eventually become easier. I can merely teach you basic of the spirit strengthening art. Although I am unable to teach you, if you become powerful you will eventually have the opportunity. Although I informed you about all this, we will start gradually. Most people in the world are incapable of handling a significant amount of true qi their whole life. We will start with magic energy the easiest to control."

"This energy is like a stored form of energy. It's completely external and most abundant form of energy. Although it requires some talent to control, it is least dependent on someone's talent. It's possible to improve with lots of knowledge and practice."

"How are the other two different."

"Someone soul force is completely dependent on their luck as it has no determining factor. People are stuck with the soul force they were born with and it is almost the same with true qi because your talent depends on your parent's capability. The only difference is you can work hard to build up your body to have a better chance."

"So this leaves most people with only one path to start with."

"Nothing comes easy, You will have to work for it." Anila agreed with Rais.
