In the morning, Ajax went to Elder Boron's room within the said time. Elder Boron was also ready in his usual white robe.
As soon as Elder Boron saw Ajax, he told Ajax to follow him.
Although Elder Boron was moving slowly, Ajax could not catch the pace and started to jog behind him. Slowly that jog turned into running after some time. They continued like that until they reached the cursed wilderness.
The Cursed wilderness was a vast forest that contains various beasts that were very bloodthirsty.
But Elder Boron was now taking Ajax into this cursed wilderness. Although he looked worried, Ajax still followed the Elder without any questions because he knew that he would not reply anyway.
"Brat, do be careful and follow me. Otherwise, you will get lost in this wilderness," Ajax heard the slow voice of Elder Boron in his head.
The shock was written all over his face as he knew it was the voice transmission that only cultivators could achieve after reaching a certain level.
"That means Elder Boron is a high-level cultivator," muttered Ajax slowly as he followed elder Boron.
Ajax always had some doubts about this Elder but did not ask him anything because he rarely answered his questions.
As they traveled deeper, he wondered why they did not encounter any beasts. Ajax thought it might be related to this Elder.
Soon they reached a well-hidden cave.
As soon as Ajax and Elder Boron entered the cave, the entrance to the cave closed automatically.
Ajax looked at the Elder in awe. How does the Elder know there was a cave here, and why did he bring him here even if he knew it? Ajax had a lot of questions but kept quiet and followed Elder Boron.
"Hah...!" As soon as he saw how huge the space inside the cave, Ajax opened his mouth in awe.
" Ok, Ajax, now It's time for you to learn some things about cultivation," slowly, Elder Boron started as he continued, "Do you know why 15 years old children are accepted into the military if their body force is at least 1000 jin?"
".... " Ajax also always wondered about this, but still he doesn't know why, so he asked, "why Elder?"
"It's because when your body exerts 1000 jin by the age of 15, your body is strong enough to learn spirit techniques," Elder took a deep breath and continued, "If you don't have sufficient body force, you will die due to the impact caused by the spirit technique on your body."
"Elder, what are spirit techniques? " Ajax asked.
"Spirit techniques are supernatural powers that the cultivators can cultivate. These spirit techniques can be various types like attack, defensive, support, auxiliary, and many more, classified into a mortal, earth, heaven, and celestial.
Again, these are sub-classified into low, mid, and high. In the military, the Draton kingdom allows everyone who passed the 1000 jin mark to choose any three mortal grade techniques, which are low, mid, and high mortal grade spirit techniques," the Elder said slowly.
"Is there no other chance if we didn't reach the 1000 jin mark," Ajax asked somewhat worriedly. Because he only has 200 jin body force now, and he is the only one having the highest body force among his peers.
"There is one," as though the Elder was waiting for this moment, he said quickly.
"What is it, Elder," Ajax asked.
"You don't need to know now. You will know when the time is right," said the Elder seriously.
"ok, then what did you bring me here for, Elder," Ajax said dejectedly.
"To help you cultivate," Ajax's eyes sparkled with excitement when he heard this.
"Really," Ajax asked.
"Enter the circle and sit in the center," said the Elder.
Only now did Ajax realize that there was a circle with some unknown symbols. Once Ajax entered the circle and sat down, he felt his surroundings started changing.
"Close your eyes and feel the energy around you," as soon as he sat down, he heard Elder Boron's voice.
He seriously followed the instructions of Elder Boron.
As he closed his eyes and tried to feel the energy around him, he felt something was forming in his body.
