Chapter 5 - Ch.5: Cultivators

[3 Hours Later]

"Wheelchair?" I'm not surprised she gave me such a curious look. They probably didn't have wheelchairs in this world if they have magic. I'm sure that there's some way to heal broken bones or missing limbs in this world.

"That chair over there...with the wheels on the side."

"Oh, okay." Lillia picked me up effortlessly. It was to be expected when I looked at her muscles. She was probably stronger than most of the body-builders I've seen on ads. At least her muscles didn't look gross like people on Earth.

As she put me in the wheelchair, she observed it carefully as if it were a treasure.

"What is this?" She asked.

"It helps me move around since I can't use my legs." Although the wheelchair caused me just as much bad as good.

"Anyways, what was this cultivation you were talking about?" Thanks to manhua, I already knew what it was but I just wanted to confirm my guesses. I also wanted to change the topic so that she wouldn't ask me meaningless questions about the wheelchair.

"Cultivation is the process of absorbing the energy of the world and the sky to strengthen both your body and soul. It can get rid of physical and mental fatigue and also heal injuries. Although it takes time to heal internal injuries. People who cultivate are called cultivators." It was a short but detailed explanation of what I was expecting her to say.

Although I was excited when Lillia said this, there was also one other thing I wanted to know.

"What about magic?" I asked.

"Magic? People who use magic are also cultivators. There are 5 types of cultivators. Body Cultivators, Soul Cultivators, Weapon Cultivators, Magicians, and Supports." What Lillia said gave me a slight surprise.

Who would've thought that there were 'Supports'?

"What are body cultivators?" Since I read manga and manhua, I knew some of the facts of these cultivators but I wanted to know everything. Maybe some of the things I've read in manga weren't true.

"Body Cultivators absorb the energy of the world and sky and focus only on tempering their body. Tempering your body slows your cultivation speed but provides generous benefits when you break through a major realm. Body Cultivators are second only to Soul Cultivators in overall strength." The more she said, the more intrigued I became.

I've never heard about Soul Cultivators and they apparently were the strongest in this world.

"What about Soul Cultivators?" I asked.

"Well, I don't know much about them. My senior sister only told me that they can erase a person's soul with the swipe of their hand." I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine as I listened to the few words Lillia said.

'Senior Sister?' I only thought about it for a second.

"Okay, how do I cultivate?" I was excited and I couldn't wait anymore! If there was a way for me to heal my legs, which I could have done but chose the smarter decision, then it would be through cultivating!

"You'll be able to do it in your current position but it'll be difficult." She said.

"It's fine." I immediately responded.

"Alright close your eyes and focus on a small area around you." I followed as Lillia said. This was just like back on the mountain.

"Inhale once and exhale two times over and over. Keep focusing until you can feel the energy around you."

"..." I was doing everything I did on the mountain, but following Lillia's breathing instructions, it was much easier. I could feel the energy around me gathering and entering my body.
