Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 8: The Heavenly Spirit Stars Cultivation Technique

In the chamber, Wang Wei carefully placed the stone box on the table. Gently opened the lid and saw that the box was filled with a dark coloured powder.

Qiu Shuang knelt and sat at the table, staring at the dark things with big curious eyes and asked. “Son, what is this? How can this make you so happy?”

Wang Wei touched a little of the black powder with his finger, grounded it with his hand, and replied casually. “I’m also seeing this for the first time. This powder is called Huoyao, the cannon powder. The fire maker father brought back a year ago was made from this kind of thing. Father said that Huoyao is a rare thing, but now, he gave me some to use.”

Wang Wei found a bamboo slice, spray, and said to the sisters. “Sisters, let’s try this thing outside?”

Afterwards, the three came outside the chamber. Wang Wei poured the black powder on a flat rock, found a handful of haystack, rolled them up, then ignited it with flint, and carefully stretches it to the side of the black powder.

As the flame approached, there was a sudden wheezing sound, and the black powder suddenly went up in a strong flash, and the blazing flame shot up to the air.

Qiu Shuang was staring at Wang Wei’s every move, but was dazzled by the sudden flash of light. She couldn’t help holdng her face, shouting. “Ah, my eyes. I’m blind, I’m blind. I can’t see anything.”

.....

“Me too. I can’t see anything anymore!.” Qiu Hong, who was next to her sister, also screamed.

“You’re not blind sisters. It’s my fault for not telling well in advance.” Wang Wei stuck out his tongue and said embarrassingly. “Father said that after lighting it, it will emit a high light, and looking directly at it will cause temporary blindness, but It will wear off soon.”

The two sisters made note to pay more attention in the future. Now, they knew that if they kept on watching, they could be blinded. But they didn’t have to worry right now, their eyes would be restored soon.

Qiu Shuang resisted the sharp pain in her eyes, and said bitterly, “Well, son, all these weird things you’ve been trying were torture to us. If this happens next time, be careful that I don’t tear your face off.”

“You better apologize now, son, or else...”

“I apologize, I apologize. I’m bowing too.” Wang Wei quickly said, bowing mockingly to his sisters. “Look, it’s going to get dark soon, I have to go practice my cultivation. Please rest here for a while, your eyes will recover soon. It’s just a flicker of light.”

“Huh? You’ll leave us here? Don’t let me catch you, or I’ll have to tear your face off.” Qiu Shuang immediately shook her fist in the direction of Wang Wei’s departure, gritted her teeth and said. “Sister, you know, this time, the boy is being slippery. Oh, this is so uncomfortable.”

Qiu Hong murmured. “Sister, we shouldn’t blame son anymore, but ourselves for not paying attention. You know we still have to hunt more with him in the future. So, it is time for the son to practice every day.”

Qiu Shuang raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and groaned, “Huh. I really don’t know what kind of cultivation technique the boy practices. I’ve grown up so old that I only need to practice daily after seeing a spiritual master. How can I ever hear of a child who does it? What kind of thing can you do?”

Qiu Hong replied, “It would be great if my son can become a spiritual master. Our tribe has no spiritual master apart from the rumour that the mother of the clan may be a spiritual master. If my son can become a spiritual master in the future, then our tribe must be able to become stronger.”

Qiu Shuang suddenly said, “Do you think it’s so easy to become a spiritualist? I heard that it costs a lot of money to awaken spiritual power. And even if you spend money, whether you can awaken spiritual power is not even certain.”

“In my opinion, my son must be able to do it.”

“Yes, yes, your son, your son, it’s your son’s son at every turn. Do you really want your old cow to eat tender grass?”

“You, you are the old cow who wants to eat tender grass.” Qiu Hong flushed with anger suddenly, wiping the tears from her eyes. How pitiful and cute that way. But Qiu Shuang had already laughed and ran away.

At this moment, Qiu Hong’s eyes gradually recovered her vision, she couldn’t help but sit up straight, looking at the sky.

At this time, it was the moment the Blazing Spirit star gradually moved westward and the Dark star gradually rose eastward. She could see that the white light and black light emitted by the two huge stars were slowly rolling towards each other at this point.

Looking carefully, she could also see that there were many small flashes around Wang Wei chamber, slowly converging into the chamber from different directions.

“My son...”

Qiu Hong slowly lay down on the grass, looking at how the endless darkness in the sky was slowly eating away at the daylight.

***

In the chamber, Wang Wei was sitting cross-legged on a snow-white bear skin, his eyes closed slightly. His hands were placed on his knees naturally, his face was peaceful, and there was a faint light flowing under his skin.

There was no palm lamp in the house, which was much darker than the outside. And in this gloomy space, one could clearly see countless points of light flickering in the air, slowly converging on Wang Wei’s body, and then disappeared into his body, one after the other.

An hour later, when the light of the blazing spirit star disappeared completely, the flickering light in the room suddenly disappeared too. Wang Wei slowly opened his eyes, and the precious light flowing under his skin faintly flashed before vanishing.

This was Wang Wei’s daily routine since he came into this world. According to the tips given to him by Taoist Feng Mo, every morning and evening, the two hours when black and white alternated, were the moments when the spiritual power of heaven and earth was most concentrated.

And Wang Wei only needed to do his training during these two hours every day, and not at any other times.

Otherwise, it was not only useless, but also harmful to the body. And this could only be done because of his special physique. Other cultivators could kill themselves if they practiced the black and white method alternately.

Taoist Feng Mo once told Wang Wei that on this Sacred Spirit Continent, there were two kinds of energies.

One was the positive light energy emitted by the blazing star, and the other was the dark negative energy emitted by the purple obsidian star. Both of these energies could be absorbed by humans and monsters for cultivation.

When a human child was eight years old, he could awaken the innate spiritual power in his body in a certain way, and people with strong spiritual power could condense it into spiritual crystals. Most of those who couldn’t condense crystals would only be ordinary people.

Although some ordinary people could still condense crystals when their spiritual power accumulated to a certain level when they were in their teens or even tens of years, it was even more difficult to cultivate deeply.

This was the reason why human beings awakened their innate spiritual power at the age of eight.

After a person’s spiritual crystals were condensed and formed, the sizes of the crystals were also different according to the sizes of the innate spiritual power. One crystal for one level of advancement, and a total of nine spirit crystal at most.

“Nine rings.” Wang Wei smiled and slowly stretched his body.
