Chen Kai has been walking through the grassland looking left and right as if he were looking for something, sometime later he decided to stop and then close his eyes to think ' Remember, to feel their energy, let your body tell you where they are ' Then his face turned from a calm one to a serious one in a couple of seconds, then he opens his eyes again and turns to look to his left thinking ' I can feel various energies over there, most of them differ from each other and others don't even feel normal... could they be from beasts? ' Chen Kai scratches the back of his neck as he thinks in annoyance ' Shallot was right, this could be very confusing if you are not used to it ' Then he walked in that direction ' Whatever that place seems to be a city or something besides if I found some beasts on the way I can get some experience '
Chen Kai kept walking until he arrived at a forest there he began to feel some energies close, so Chen Kai decided to go towards the nearest source of energy, he knew that this energy could be from a beast, and he was at least 50% sure that he can kill it, but why he was going to take that kind of risk? If he just avoids it knowing where it was? Well that is because Shallot's words

A few days early
" What are these? " Asked Callion with a curious expression as he saw the yellow jewels in each of his hands
" Those are raw knowledge " Both Chen Kai and Callion saw him with faces full of doubt, so Shallot continues " When you put these jewels on your foreheads, they will transmit the knowledge of a specific technique, the Sect Master himself made the jewels, don't ask me how he makes them because I don't know either "
" So, when we absorb the knowledge that these jewels have we will be able to use that technique? " Said Chen Kai seeing the jewel in his hand
Shallot shakes his head and says " No, as just have told you, they are just raw knowledge, they will only give you some pointers on how to use it correctly, like how many Ki they need or the way to perform them, you still have to train hard to dominate those techniques "
Callion makes a face of doubt and says " So these have the same techniques for both of us? "
Shallot grins and says " At least one of them is the same, but the other two differ from each other, well the point is that you need to train the technique until you can do it perfectly, put a jewel in your foreheads and put some Ki on it, you have to remember that you can only use one jewel at the time and wait at least 5 minutes to use another if you don't follow those rules your brains could be melted by them, after all, that kind of ''fast learning'' always comes with a price "
Chen Kai and Callion obeyed Shallot and without hesitation, they put the jewels on their foreheads, and as soon as the jewels touched their foreheads, the jewels began to melt in their heads. As the jewels melted they made the veins of their foreheads pop out, and they seemed to cause them some pain because they were gritting their teeth as they closed their eyes lightly
Chen Kai and Callion calmed after a few minutes and both of them began to have visions of the techniques. The visions weren't very clear they were black and white like old photos, but for them, that was enough to grasp the necessary things to train the techniques properly
Callion and Chen Kai opened their eyes at the same time and both of them whispered different words " Spirit Cannon? " Whispered Chen Kai while Callion whispered " Kill Driver? " Then they turned to see Shallot and Shallot said " Those techniques are very fit for each of you " Then Shallot saw Chen Kai and said " The Spirit Cannon is a very powerful technique once you dominate it, it doesn't require too much Ki, and it could be performed very fast, it should be rather easy to dominate, I have given you that because your fighting style and the control over your Ki that you showed me seems to be very bad, but don't worry once you stop confusing Spiritual Energy with the way Ki works you will be fine "
Then he turns to see Callion " Now the Kill Driver, that technique is even stronger than the Spirit Cannon, but it is very difficult to master thanks to the amount of Ki it needs ... maybe you have a messy fighting style, but you have good control over your Ki, but don't be proud of it, you have the advantage over the other brat because you didn't have Spiritual Energy, to begin with "
Both Chen Kai and Callion were processing each of Shallot's words, both were frustrated with the weak points that Shallot pointed out, but those weak points at least won't last forever
Callion sees Shallot with a serious expression and says " These jewels... how can I get them? Will you give them to me once I progress? "
Shallot shakes his head slightly and says " No, there are 10 jewels assigned 5 for each of you, they are scattered over the region where you will start once you finish your training here "
Callion and Chen Kai raised their eyebrows with confusion then Chen Kai said " Scattered? Why? They could be taken by others and the techniques will be stolen, isn't it better to give them to us when we are ready? "
Shallot grins slightly to then say " The only thing that cultivators can do with those jewels is used them as decoration by how stunning they are, they can't use them no matter how hard they try, they need to have Ki like us and about why they are scattered I don't know anything about it, I'm not the one who takes care of that, it's that bastard Fannel the one on the charge of it, I had to gather mine once and let me tell you they were scattered with the whole purpose of, well... make sh*t happen, it's a pain in the ass "
" There is a way to know where they are? If not it will be very difficult to find even one of them " Asked Chen Kai with a serious face
Shallot nods and says " You will feel their presence when they activate themselves once you reach a certain level of power, their energy feels like flashes of some sort of living being almost like a beacon, so you can't mistake them for anything else, now let's practice your Ki control until you can absorb the next jewel "

Chen Kai was traveling now through the forest while he was thinking ' Just what kind of ability has the Sect Master to be able to create those jewels? I have never heard something like that before, it's just amazing ' Suddenly Chen Kai felt that something was coming fast toward him ' It's the same monster I'm after, It seems that it smells me or something ' Chen Kai raises his guard then he jumps back and *BOOM* a brown Scorpion at least 2 meters tall comes out from the ground was Chen Kai was standing before. The Scorpion lands in front of Chen Kai and begins to close and open its pincers while it sees Chen Kai ' A giant Scorpion? It doesn't have the same strength as the King Scorpion so... ' Chen Kai then smiles and yells " I will kill you, stupid insect!! " And a thin white aura begins to surround his body
