Standing before a courtyard reeking of blood and tears was a small figure. The figure oozed out a feeling of despair, grief, regret, and anger.
Ye BaiCai has been tending to his odd hobby of growing cabbage in the fields when he first heard screams of pain and grief from his clans courtyard.
When he was 3 years old, two years ago, his mom, Ye FangHua was bringing out little BaiCai shopping in the city square. When they passed a little stall run by a old granny, Ye FangHua felt a small tug on her dress
Looking down, she saw Ye BaiCai pointing at the small stall. She asked him, "Is there something you want Xiao BaiCai?"
Ye BaiCai promptly pointed at the granny's stall and squeaked, "CABBAGE!"
Deciding to humor her small son, Ye FangHua bought the cabbage to which Ye BaiCai seemed to love, Realizing that her son seemed to have a weird attachment to cabbage, Ye FangHua decided to give Ye BaiCai his own mini cabbage farm in the fields owned by the clan.
Tears dripped down Ye BaiCai's face as he remembered that moment. He thought to himself if only he hadn't been attached to cabbage at that moment, he would've not been in the fields while his family and friends were dying.
It was at that moment that Ye BaiCai vowed to get strong enough to beat the people who did this to his family.
He knew it would be some time before he could avenge them, as even grandfather who was a stage 15 martial warrior was killed in a single move . But eventually he would be strong enough.
People could only start cultivating at the age of 5, and his birthday is in 3 days. 3 more days before he could get tested for cultivation talent and innate ability, as coincidentally 3 days later was the monthly test.
The cultivation talent was measured on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the favored son of god, and 1 being trash. A level 2 talented cultivator would have double the speed of a cultivation than a level 1 talented cultivator. The average talent level in the continent of Azure Dragon was a solid 3. The talent of a cultivator also usually determined their future achievements, as a level one usually wouldn't pass stage 10 martial Diciple, and a level 2 wouldn't pass a stage 20 martial warrior.
Innate abilities are actually tied to the cultivators talent, and a more talented cultivator has a higher chance of awakening a stronger innate ability.
The Innate abilities can range from fire wielding, which Ye BaiCai's grandfather had, to a unique cultivation method.
The cultivation levels on Ye BaiCai's continent of The Azure Dragon were Martial Diciple: stage 1-10, Martial Warrior: stage 11-20, Martial Master: stage 21-30, Martial Grandmaster: stage 31-40, Martial King: stage 41-50, Martial Emperor: stage 51-60, Quasi Saint: stage 61-70, Martial Saint: stage 71-80, Quasi God: stage 81-90, and Martial God: stage 91-100.
Ye BaiCai, looking at the remains of his family, decided to spend the next 3 days before the monthly test paying respect to them by attempting to bury their remains, as it was the least he could do.
