The Story Never Ends

At the entrance of the forest, a man was looking left and right and finally shouted out loud in the sky.

"HAHA, I finally got out of the forest. Let's look at the map."

Davion took out the map and after looking at it carefully he finally fixed his destination to Mulberry City. This city was 20 miles away from the forest.

"Damn, it is too far. Hope I can find a carriage."

At that time, he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage coming from the left, he turned around and saw a carriage was coming and that carriage was drawn by two horses which were different from the horses on the Earth. It looked like a demon beast. Each horse had a silver-colored pointed horn. An old man was driving the carriage. Since the journey could be long, he boldly decided to ask for a ride.

"Hello, old man, can you give me a ride to Mulberry City?"

The old man stopped his carriage and turned his head back and asked inside "Miss, there is a young man who wants a ride."

Inside the carriage, there were two people; one was an old man and the other was a young woman. Shortly afterward, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a long and delicate little hand was seen, after that a beautiful young lady who was wearing a skin-tight princess dress was seen. Seeing the handsome young man, her face lit up. "Let him in." She spoke.

Davion became happy and finally entered the carriage. Then the carriage continued its journey.

Inside the carriage, the old man and the girl were also looking at Davion and he was looking at them.

"It looks like this girl is from a big family and this old man looks like her grandpa."

"What's your name boy and where are you from?" asked the girl.

"I am Davion and I am from the village inside the forest. Where are you guys from?"

"We are from the nearby city of Papaver. I am Oliver and this is my granddaughter, Nisha. The jungle is really dangerous. How did you come out? Are you a cultivator?" the old man asked. Nisha's interest also got piqued.

"No, I am not a cultivator. But I do know some martial arts." replied Davion as he didn't know anything about it. "Are you guys cultivators?"

"Yes, we are. We are also going to Mulberry City as there are many big and small sects coming to select candidates. Hope I can also get selected." replied Nisha.

"Why don't you try to check your talent and see if you can join any sects?"

"What! Can everyone get checked?" Davion was shocked.

"Yes, you just have to pay the entrance fee, then you can get checked if you have talent or not." replied the Old man.

"So, how do they check the talent?" asked Davion as he was new to everything.

"They check your spiritual roots. If you don't have spiritual roots then you can't become a cultivator. Spiritual roots are divided into 5 types. They are grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, and grade 5. Grade 5 is the best spiritual root. Also, the spiritual roots also have nature to them. Those natures are fire, water, earth, wind, plant, dark, and light. There are some spiritual roots that are of a very rare type like lightning, ice, and many more. We don't know much about them. I heard that someone may be born of natural physiques that are blessed by the heavens and are superior to all of them. But I have not seen any of those. Sigh...I was only born with a grade 2 spiritual root and got stuck in the Qi refining stage. That's why I hope my granddaughter can have better spiritual roots so that she can fulfill my wishes." After that, the old man looked at his granddaughter and caressed her head.

"Grandpa!!" Nisha looked at her grandpa with moist eyes.

Seeing that they had deep stories, Davion didn't ask anything and just closed his eyes to rest.

After 2 hours, the servant stopped the carriage as it was getting dark. He asked from outside "Miss, it is getting dark, I think we should stop our carriage as our horses are also getting tired."

"Ok. Let's get out and make our camp." said the old man.

After getting out of the carriage, the servant prepared camps and lit a fire with the help of woods in the carriage. He also prepared some food for all of them. While the food was being prepared, Davion said "Thank you."

"No problem, it's good to help people who don't know about anything." replied the Old man.

"Sir, can you explain what the Qi refining stage means? I don't even know what they are."

"Cultivation is a vast journey, as a lowly cultivator at just the Qi refining stage, I don't know all of them. But I know a little. First of all, you have to forge your bones, muscles, and internal organs and make them very strong which is known as the Bone Forging State. This is the state where Nisha is. After your body becomes very strong, you will be able to feel True Qi inside your body. After you feel True Qi, you have to compress it and make it in the form of liquid that flows everywhere in your body. This step is the Qi refining state. After the Qi refining state is the Golden Core stage where you have to compress all your True Qi into solid. I don't know much about this state and later states. But I do know that all these states are divided into Early, Middle, and Late stages. I am in the middle of Qi refining state and Nisha is in the late Body refining state." replied the Old man.

"Thank you, sir. I didn't know anything about these things."

"HAHA, you don't have to thank me anymore. I believe that a handsome young man like you would be able to have a good spiritual root and join a big sect. Hope you can take care of Nisha if you both get selected." replied the old man with a teasing tone.

"Grandpa!!" Nisha started to blush thinking about those things.

"HAHA" Davion also laughed out loud. But deep down he was thinking whether he had a spiritual root or not as he was not of this world.

After eating and resting till the night, they continued their journey to Mulberry City early in the morning.
