6 A New Life

[: 3rd POV :]

Daniel smiled when he saw how the girl's eyes were filled with stars before she entered the dormitory facility.

Judging from her appearance, he had concluded that she lived a life of poverty.

Hence, he will ensure that she won't regret her choice of choosing this sect as her own.

On the other hand, as soon as the girl was teleported into her room, she was stunned by how luxurious the room appeared.

It was massive and there were items that she was unsure how to utilize.

'I-Is this a bedroom!?'

'I-Is not that a mattress!?'

'I-Is this a hot spring!?'

The more she discovered her, the more shocked she became.

Everything that she saw and discovered was what she dreamed of having, especially a hot cooling spring that could wash away her filth.

She never thought that a hot spring could be built in another room.

Despite meeting Daniel once, she had started to feel different about him.

'Master...'

She gazed over her room with a tear sliding off her cheek to the floor.

It all happened too fast within a day and recalling back at the start of her life, she became emotional.

At first, she thought she was going to live a life full of misery.

However, it all changed when she received the card.

At the same time, she began to develop an appreciation that turned into the borderline between fanatics and unhealthy love.

It only had been a few minutes, but the amount of gratitude she had for him was reaching an unbelievably dangerous level.

'I never had a chance to clean myself...and for master's sake, I need to be cleansed of this filth so that master won't abandon me'

Perhaps because of the way she grew up, she was afraid of being abandoned and being saved by him, and she developed an unhealthy appreciation.

Nevertheless, she entered the spring after removing her clothes.

The moment she entered the spring, her body shone brightly.

'What is this...it feels good...'

Even though she was baffled, she enjoyed the changes that were happening in her body.

Her skin which was damaged by years of filth had begun returning to its youthful appearance.

Her hair which was clumped with countless dirt was purified by the essence of the spring.

It quickly grew and returned to its original length which was as long as her back.

Her malnutrition state had yet to be recovered, however, at least now, her body has been cleansed from any dirt that had been eating her life away.

On the other hand, Daniel waited outside of the dormitory facility for an hour before she arrived.

Seeing her appearance, he was greatly surprised by how much she had changed.

She had worn the white disciple robe that was given by Daniel earlier on.

"How do you feel?"

Daniel questions as he is aware that the dormitory has a spring in which she must have bathed herself.

"Master...I feel better than before"

She shyly said while referring to Daniel as Master.

"If you think that is the benefit of joining the sect, then, you're in for more surprise"

Daniel chuckled over her cuteness.

"Come follow me, it's time for you to start cultivating," He declared.

"But master, I don't know how to cultivate and I don't think I have the talent for it," She said.

She had never cultivated before and was unsure of the methods.

She had seen dozens of cultivators, especially women who were far from her reach.

But now that the opportunity had been given, she didn't have the confidence.

After all, living in poverty causes her self-esteem to fall low.

"Don't worry. There's a reason why if you submit to me I will give everything you want"

He comforted her with a soft smile, and she was flustered by his actions.

They both then arrived in the sect hall where he began to teach the basic knowledge of cultivation.

"First, we'll start with the hierarchy of the cultivation ranks which firstly starts from the Mortal, Foundation, Origin, Daybreaker, Transcendence, Ascended, Ancestral, Emperor, Martial Emperor, Saint, Martial Saint, Deva, Half Immortal, and lastly, the Immortal

the stage which is the hardest of all"

"But to start cultivating, the spiritual root is a factor that allows every cultivator to cultivate"

"The Grade of Spiritual Root starts from the lowest which is 1, and to 10 which is the highest for this world"

"Without a doubt, every single person is born with a spiritual root, and the common ones are Grade 1"

"In that sense, you have a Spiritual Root of Grade 1" Daniel revealed.

"Does that mean I can't cultivate...master?"

She became teary as she was afraid that she couldn't cultivate and that would lead Daniel to abandon her.

"Don't worry"

"Now that you have joined my sect, I will promise you three things"

"First, nothing could ever harm you"

"Second, no matter what you want, I will give it to you"

"Thirdly, you're my disciple that I treasure"

"Hence, I will ask you now, what do you want?"

He questioned her true desires.

She took a moment to answer, and eventually, she gathered her courage.

"M-Master...I-I want to cultivate! I want to change myself and depict my fate!"

She answered emotionally since she had a flashback of her life.

"Good...since you have asked your master for such a thing, then, I won't be stingy"

He comforted her as she cried.

'System, please use all of the cards on her'

[: 1 Card of Physique, 1 Card of Bloodline, 1 Card of Spiritual Root, 1 Card of Cultivation Manual, and 1 Card of Cultivation Method have been used on Disciple Cecilia :]

All of a sudden, Cecilia's body began lighting up in all sorts of colours.

She couldn't understand what was happening.

However, she calmed down after Daniel had reassured her.

"Don't fight against the gift I have given you"

"Accept it and only then could you tread on the path of cultivation" He comforted her.

Afterwards, Cecilia composed herself and relaxed her mind and body to accept the changes happening within her.

On the other hand, Daniel was notified of the changes happening with his disciple.

Due to the connection between the sect, disciples, and him, he was given the privilege to be informed of the benefits they received.

Hence, whatever knowledge or mastery they were given, he had received all of it as well.

With this privilege, he could guide them based on their bloodline, physique and so on.

[: Disciple Cecilia has obtained the physique of

Primaeval Ice (Omni) :]

[: Disciple Cecilia has obtained the Bloodline of

Snow Night (Omni) :]

[: Disciple Cecilia has obtained the Spiritual Root of Absolute Ice (Omni) :]

[: Disciple Cecilia has obtained the Cultivation Method of Cold Incarnator (Omni) :]

[: Disciple Cecilia has obtained the Cultivation

Manual of Ice Age (Omni) :]

Due to the effects of the gifts, huge changes occurred in Cecilia's appearance.

The colour of her hair had changed into the colour of the night, with some shades of dark blue, and her eyes and her lips had changed to dark blue.

Her skin had become a little bit pale and her existence itself had become the definition of Ice.
