Cultivation(1)

In a room in the Ruyihr sec are sitting three persons. One little kid, that seems to be around five years old and two young adults around their twenties. One woman and one man.

The two young adults are Jilui and Reirhua, Jinhua´s parents.

And of course the little kid is Jinhua. Five years have passed since he was born and today his teachers, his parents, are teaching him about cultivation.

The now five year old boy has grown a lot and looks like a ten year old child on earth. Thats because of the qi strands he absorbed, that are flowing in the environment.

Of course he was considered a genius for seeing qi strands since his birth and absorbing them. This reason played also a big role for his body growth.

Normally humans without a Mind could not see or even sense the qi strands. Only few geniuses with inborn and unique physiques, veins or souls could and even then it would rarely happen.

The only reason Jinua could was because of his evolved Mind. More precise it is not a real evolved Mind but a pseudo consciousness.

For humans the pseudo consciousness is called the brain. A normal consciousness or Mind, what cultivator call it, is more ethereal and not really physical.

Beside that the evolution of the pseudo consciousness can not be completed, because it is not a real Mind and has not the powers or abilites a real Mind has.

But that alone, a evolved pseudo consciousness allowed Jinhua to sense qi strands already clearly. If he births a real Mind, his senses will only grow and he will directly enter the first stage of Mind cultivation because he already comprehended the first stage 'Realizing One Self' in his past life.

Starting his first lesson on cultivation Jinhua´s mother Jilui says in a more serious tone,

"So Jinhua today is your first day of true cultivation and you probably already know some things from the other people in the sect.

"But first let me tell you something what cultivation is about and what to what you have pay attention to.

"Cultivation can be called the truth of the universe, comprehending it and using it for oneself. Some people say cultivation is against the universe because of different reasons, but this is wrong.

"The real powerful people above the mortal realms all say that cultivation is in harmony with the universe, so we should not have a reason to disbelief that. Of course you have to search for your own anwser yourself as you do for your cultivation path.

"This brings me to the second point, the Path. In the universe exists many paths of cultivation. The one the most people are traveling on is the mainpath, normally it is called the qi cultivation path. In this path you cultivate passively the body, soul and vein and mainly the Dantian. Later then the core, nascent and Dharma Idol, this is the mortal mainpath, after that you ascent to Divinity, but you will learn about the divinity realms in the future when you are at that level.

"Besides the mainpath there are also the bodypath, the soulpath and some auxiliary paths like alchemy that I practice or formations that your father practices. But normally if you do not have some problems like a crippled dantian, everone cultivates the mainpath even if it is only for help.

"For example you can use vital qi or soul qi as a base for you mainpath qi and the mainpath cultivation will then support your bodypath or soulpath respectively."

While being immersed in the explanation of cultivation Jilui notices her son having a question and stopped,

"Son, you have a question?"

After thinking about how he aks the question Jinhua speaks,

"Mother, you said there is a path for body, soul and so on. But is there also a path for the veins after all what i have been told, in the foundation realms we temper body, veins, soul and the dantian! So why is there no path for the veins?"

This time Reirhua is the one who explained it to Jinhua laughing,

"Hahahaha, many who start cultivation are wondering about that. While the veins are not so much important in the body and vein tempering, of course aside that you need veins to temper them, after that in the soul tempering they start to have a role.

"Though you can temper your soul without it, most cultivators are tempering their souls with cultivation methods. And cultivation methods even the most simple one need veins. We explain that to you later when you finished tempering you body and veins, which should go very quickly.

"The bodypath is there different but we talk about this also later.

"So back to your question, there is no veinpath because veins are primary there for executing cultivation methods or some auxiliary techniques like battle techniques or movement techniques.

"Alone with veins you can not really cultivate because you need something that veins can apply on. I hope that explained you question."

While having a thankfull look in on his face Jinua replied,

"Yes father, thanks! Mother, you can go on."
