Chapter 15 - 15: The Experiment and Awakening

After coming inside the formation Knave went back to his regular routine of checking the herbs, it was this daily routine of maintenance of the herbs that he liked the most after reading as every day he would look at the herbs growing and looking at the rate at which they could not help but make him delighted to see at the wonders spirit energy could accomplish.

In the six months that he was looking after the herbs, he was surprised by the growth shown by them, the development shown in this six months as compared to almost 3 years outside, especially for the herbs he had started planting when his job had started could be seen by him more clearly he had taken special care of them and used all the various means he had understood in his last life about herbalism and horticulture on this herbs to see if there was any change. The experiment surprised him by no small amount as his herbs growth was beyond his expected results, according to his calculations they should have shown a growth rate of 4 years tops but the improvement far exceeded his expectations as it came to 6 to 7 years which showed that he had doubled the growth.

He didn't know whether it was because Miss Vanessa had not told Robert how to manage the garden properly or if it was that other cultivators had not developed the various methods to develop herbs as they had probably developed the formations for the issue of herb growth or it could also be that he had not truly seen how those Academy manage their herbs but no matter what this had given him a fruitful harvest if the others had not developed this method he could keep it as his own secret method to develop twice as fast than others or maybe more because according to him this formation might not be the best the Academy has to offer and with better formation and management he might develop herbs with 10 years of age in only half a year and a hundred age herb in 6 to 7 years.

All this will have to be seen in the future, after seeing to it that the herbs we're doing great he went towards the stone pillar to see his favourite site of the day, after coming to the centre of the formation he saw it the same Rainbow light going up in the sky and forming the dome on the herb garden still doing its duty.

After completing his day's work he went to the kitchen of the manor to receive his daily meal, finishing his dinner he went to his room for sleep. While clearing his mind of all the thoughts, with anticipation in his eyes for tomorrow he went to sleep.

...

In the wooden hut where Knave was sleeping soundly, then there were some rapid changes in his physique as his face suddenly started to twist in pain. He suddenly sprang up from the bed and held his head while holding in the scream coming from his mouth because of the unbearable pain coming from deep within his brain, it was even more painful than having his heart pierced through as he had experienced it in his last life.

He felt like something was trying to open a space in his brain, while he was still wondering what was wrong with him or whether the old injury caused to the body had left some internal unresolved damage an understanding suddenly came to him, he was awakening.

When the thought entered his mind he could not help but feel extremely happy, even though he had prepared mentally for not having any future in the immortal world but deep down he hoped every day no every single second that he could cultivate even if it was with the worst talent.

Now that he understood what was happening he tried to calm himself down, while he sat cross-legged in a meditation posture to main the unity of his mind and body so as to not cause any problems during his awakening, slowly as the time ticked by the pain in his head started to increase and after about half an hour it started to spread from his head to all parts of the body he knew that this was the last step and after this was over he would become a cultivator and he would know what his Rank was.
