5 Chapter-5: Transcendental talent for cultivation

After getting beaten by her sister, he came back to elder yoel, so that he can comprehend the manual and start his cultivation.

When he reached there, he saw grandpa has already sat cross-legged and was meditating. So, he didn't disturb him and also sat down cross-legged and started reading the manual.

. . . .

He opened the scroll and started reading it. After reading it one time, realised that he can already understand the manual. But to make no mistakes, he read it again.

'Hm? Grandpa said that it will take a lot of time to fully understand the manual. But i don't think it was that hard to comprehend.' He thought to himself.

Cultivation techniques and battle skills are hard to comprehend for majority of the people.

How fast one can understand a manual, this depends in that person's comprehending abilities. Even If he wants to understand a low level manual in a short amount of time, he has to have a bit of talent.

Without a talent for cultivation, the fastest you can comprehend a low level technique is three to four months.

And to understand high tier techniques and battle skills, it takes years to comprehend for a person with average talent.

The higher your talent, the faster you can cultivate. And without a talent for cultivation, even if you have enormous amount of resources, you cannot reach a high level in the path of cultivation.

Also if you depend too much on resources without hard work, then the foundation of your realm will be unstable.

With a unstable foundation, you will never win against a same level of opponent with a stable foundation.

Sometimes, if your opponent has lower level of cultivation but with a strong foundation, then your chances of losing are higher.

So, at the beginning of cultivation, you have to make a strong foundation to support your cultivation in the future.

Without thinking much, he decided to ask his grandpa about this situation.

"Grandpa.... I've already comprehended the manual. Now what do i do." He asked elder yoel to what to do next.

Elder yoel abruptly opened his eyes in shock when he heard this. He thought he heard something wrong.

"What.... what did you say? You can already understand the technique?"

"Yes, grandpa. I could already understand the manual after reading it one time. But didn't you say it will take a lot of time to full understand the manual." He said with a innocent look on his face.

Grandpa yoel was so stunned that he couldn't speak for a long time. He got the biggest shock of his life just now.

He never thought that someone can understand a mortal 3rd tier cultivation manual after reading it one time. Not even his ancestors have ever done this.

He himself took almost one month to understand this manual. So it's not surprising that he was shocked when he heard Ashmus's words.

He looked at his grandson and said with a low voice," you can understand the manual after reading it one time?"

"Yes, grandpa."

" Hahahaha. Good,good, looks like my grandson has one in a thousand year talent for cultivation. Excellent." Grandpa laughed in happiness.

After laughing for a long time, he stopped and said with a smile," since you have already completed the manual, then you can start building your foundation. Remember, you have to build a strong foundation to keep up your cultivation in the future."

"With your supreme talent, you can reach a high level of cultivation in the future. But, let me give you some advice, don't let anyone know that you have such supreme talent. If other cultivavators know about your talent, they will do everything in their power to kill you so that you don't endanger their lives. Do you understand?" Grandpa said with a serious face.

"I understand, grandfather."

"Good. Then from now you will train your body according to the manual to make it suitable for absorption of spirit energy."

"Spirit energy is the most important factor in cultivation. You can increase your realm by absorbing sufficient amount of spiritual energy. To make your body suitable for regulation and storage of spiritual energy, you have to strengthen your skin, flesh, inner organs, blood vessels, and even your bone structure."

"Basically you have to transform your entire body structure. This is the first stage of cultivation, Body transformation stage."

"Body transformation stage is not a true realm of cultivation. So that is why, even though there are a lot of body transformation stage cultivators in the village, your father and i are the only ones who can be called a cultivator, who have broken through to the qi absorption stage."

" After transforming your body, you can absorb spiritual energy and step in to true cultivation."

After hearing his grandfather's words, Ashmus went to train his body.

. . . . . .

For the next 4 years, he started working on transforming his body and improve his foundations.

Even though he can have a stable foundation after 2 years a training, his grandfather wanted him to have a strong foundation for future. So, he trained his body for another 2 years.

Now, Ashmus has a strong body to start his cultivation. He has a medium size muscular body and with his handsome face and silky, midium size hair and blue eyes, all of the young girls and even married women in the village are infatuated with him.

After all, which woman doesn't want have a man who is handsome and also talented in cultivation.

In the entire village, Ash is the only one who has reached body transformation 9th stage in just 4years. So all the women in the village wants to marry him.

But too bad they don't have the chance to because the one who is closest to him is Eira who has now grown up into a fine and beautiful lady.

She never allows any woman to even get close to her big brother. She says Ash is too good for them to have.

Even though her father and grandpa wants her to cultivate, she is too lazy to cultivate which is boting and takes a lot of time.

After reaching 9th stage, Ash now has to hone his battle instinct and improve his fighting experience.

So Tomorrow morning, he will have go to the base of the mountain to experience a real fight.

Even though he often spars with his father, but with real battle, he can improve faster. So, his grandpa made him go to fight the ferocious beasts at the base of the mountain.

Eira and her mother were extremely worried about him and opposed this idea strongly. But after elder yoel said that he will go with him to the mountains, they could do nothing but accept reluctantly.
