After Jiang Hao and little Yin's mother walked in they were finally given the okay to start Cultivating. Both of them started to circulate the body tempering technique their journey in cultivation officially started.
Jiang Hao didn't use his Heavenly Notes Sutra currently as he didn't want others to know he has it so he could avoid the trouble of explaining how he got it. Their isn't really any reason for Jiang Hao to be when they started as their is no danger in Cultivating before Earth Realm where tribulations happen. The only reason she was their was to make a memory of her children's first step into Cultivation to remember at a later date.
A day pasted since both Jiang Hao and little Yin Started to cultivate and both of them have easily broken through to mortal Ascension stages 1. Breaking through to earth Realm can easily be done in a few years but the reason his cousins have been so slow was due to them hunting and getting combat experience instead, so they suppressed their Cultivation. They were finally convinced to at least cultivate to earth Realm and improvements should happen alot faster.
..
A whole year has pasted since Jiang Hao and little Yin Started to cultivate. They kept a strict schedule with only Cultivating and coming out to eat, sleep, or other business as their realm wasn't high enough to avoid eating or sleeping. Everyone in the younger generation has had huge breakthroughs. Both cousins since having suppressed their Cultivation for so long have broken through to Earth Realm stage 2. While both Twins have managed to break through to core formation stage 1.
Jiang Hao was feeling pretty upset though. During this year he hasn't touched the Heavenly Notes Sutra and still has no clue the effects but he hasn't let this stop him. Although his Cultivation speed is normal and it was alot faster than his last one he wasn't satisfied. 'The fastest way to Increase Cultivation speed was to buy pills or concoctions.' Jiang Hao was currently eating when he slowed down to think about ways to improve his Cultivation speed. 'I could also be luck enough to find something to improve my physique.' As he thought about this he suddenly remembered something. 'Although I can buy pills I can also make them myself and for a way to increase my physique from than of a normal human I would have to be lucky, but I'm sitting in an unexplored mountain so why not look around.' Jiang Hao's eyes brighten as he gobbled down his food.
This sight shocked His mother and sister as they never seen the seemly always calm Jiang Hao be so excited. Jiang Tan was about to ask what happened but before she could Jiang Hao was already standing up and cut her off. "Mother I'm going into the mountain." As Jiang Tan and little Yin heard this both of them looked at Jiang Hao strangely. Jiang Hao completely ignores these two before walking out in a slight rush.
A few minutes later Jiang Hao was already a decent bit away when he started to search for anything. Herbs, materials, lost items anything that can help. After searching the nearby area Jiang Hao found nothing but a few plants that looked like herbs. But didn't know with his limited knowledge. After a few hours of searching Jiang Hao's face was dark, all he found were herbs. Although not surprising Jiang Hao was still upset, he was setting back to his home before the sun fully set when he caught a faint flickering light in the corner of his eye. Jiang Hao at first ignored this thinking it was the sun when he realized the sun was behind him not infront. When he looked for the light he couldn't find it and thought it was an illusion the next moment though the same light flashed on the floor of the mountain. Jiang Hao wanted to look at it so badly but he had to make it back before night hit and he got in trouble. Mentally marking this place Jiang Hao rushed back home appearing at the front of his house a hour before the sun completely set.
Jiang Hao had a cheerful express as he open the door that quickly went solemn as the atmosphere in the house was very tense and he felt a pair of eyes staring daggers at him in the dark. Jiang Hao quickly tensed up but couldn't help but shiver. Looking around he saw his mother looking at him from the chair the the living room. Jiang Hao didn't know why but at this moment he felt that at any moment he could be dead. Knowing this he quickly went through everything that happened today when jiang Tan opened her mouth. "Jiang Hao why are you just standing their have a seat." Jiang Tan harmonious voice made Jiang Hao unconsciously nod and walk forwards. Jiang Hao quickly bite his tongue in coming out of that trance.
But before he could react Jiang Tan appeared infront of him before with a wicked smile on her face,while she released some pressure. Jiang Hao's face instantly paled as he looked at his mother with confusion and fear on his face. All this time only one thing was going through his mind 'What did I do wrong?'
Thinking this though he immediately gave up as understanding a women's mind was never simple and didn't want to think about it. Knowing he wasn't getting out of this he slowly relaxes before he walked past his mother and sat on the chair opposite of his mother's.
Jiang Tan soon sat down still glaring at Jiang Hao. Although on the outside she was very calm on the inside she was surprised by how she was reacting and how Jiang Hao just did. Any Normal person at his age and Cultivation would have cried out in pain or to broke down scared but Jiang Hao just did neither. putting this thought away she focused back on Jiang Hao before her now cold voice sounded out.
"Do you know why I'm upset?" hearing their Jiang Hao almost fell out of his seat. 'If I did I wouldn't be standing here currently.' although he secretly thought this he never voiced his concerns. "I'm sorry but I really don't know what I did wrong mom" Jiang Hao immediately played the one can he had on had. Acting like a very cute child. Thought he was 6 he could still show a lot of cuteness to get himself out of problems. sadly this didn't work as Jiang Tan didn't flinch at all and only stared at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao's back was drenched in sweat as he looked for a way out with his eyes, this didn't go unnoticed and Jiang Tan smiled before she finally broke her silence and continued.
