These problems with cultivation and magic are only a mere problem. I can easily master both and progress to the highest level.
Crius thought of it easily and had his confidence to the fullest. He hoped to reach great might, like he always read in the novels and films, he used to watch.
Now, to the third book. The title surprised Crius and the book was named 'How to cultivate for Dummies'.
„What a great name.."
After 5 minutes, he was done reading it and concluded what he understood. The position the most cultivators used, was crossed-legged and arms can be placed to the person own liking. The book stated, to try to feel the Spirit Qi in the environment and to absorb it. Supposedly, you should do this only at the age of 8 years, but I don't really care. I just hope it's as easy as described, Crius thought to himself.
Then Crius thought of a nature environment and decided to cultivate in the backyard. The backyard was in normal size, had a wooden fence and some planted flowers. He found it quite relaxing and sat down in the centre.
„Okey, now that I sit crossed-legged, I have to feel the Spirit Qi..."
Crius somehow unexpectedly send waves of his own body to the outside by trying to cultivate and little points reacted to it. He felt, as if his own body sent threads out and entangled with unfamiliar threads. He could move not only his thread back, but pull the unfamiliar ones, also back to his body.
*bzzr*
The little points made weird noises, while Crius absorbed them in his body, but Crius ignored and focused only on absorption, until unknown messages appeared in his mind.
**You have managed to absorb Spirit Qi. Congratulations, you reached the first Stage Spirit Absorber**
**You have been rewarded with the Ten Mountain Armor.**
**You have been rewarded with a flask of Spirit Qi**
Is that in my mind? Why did the system only get now activated?
He was worried before, but good that it was for nothing. I would have been scammed from Heaven.
He looked trough the notifications and saw
'Ten Mountain Armor'. He was puzzled and looked at his body, he noticed a really thin armor. That armor is on him apparently, but it's too thin to be seen, unless the eye is strong enough. That's great actually, but he didn't know...what was that?
*Knock* *Knock*
Crius heard knocks on the entry door and went back to the house, going to the window to look who it is. To his surprise, it were guards in iron armor and for some reason, he can't feel anything around them. They are definitely stronger than him and he had to be cautious.
Well, it's not like I committed any crime. Let's see for what have they come.

„Hello Kid, is your Mother home?" the Left Guardian asked.
„No, she is currently outside. I don't know where she is, as she doesn't even tell me. Is there any reason for Guardians to come to a house directly?"
The Guardians were shocked at the fact, that a three year old child was so understandable of the situation and the standing of it's own.
„Hey, maybe he is worth to recruit. If we provide resources for him, he could reach at least Spirit Retainer in about 7 years. He is smart and looks pretty good. Maybe give it a try?"The Left Guardian whispered excitedly to the Right Guardian.
The Right Guardian said after thinking for a while: „Hey Kid, tell your Mother when she comes back home to pay her taxes. Also, if you're interested in becoming strong and have a bright future, we could provide you a position in the Kingdom Army, as a Soldier or Guardian. Choice is yours. If you join, you will receive support in form of resources and guidances. If you are really good, you can also learn techniques and reach higher titles, for more glory in the kingdom."
