1. tempered body
2. Initial element
3. Qi transformation
4. Separation and Reunion

Earth has a large land mass and is divided into 4 major and one black continent, 4 continents as follows azure , black turtle, white tiger and blue dragon each has its own power house and are in peace for past few decades , the black continent is a place where humans cannot survive because its barren only monsters and other spirit animals can live there , black continent is situated between the 4 continents.
just like crime and justice there are also 2 types of cultivators in the world , one is light and other are dark cultivators, cultivators using dark methods to increase their power, these cultivators are always hunted down because of their cruel methods to kill innocent and increase their power

Back of the mountain:
Jiang Chen was very happy to see see growth in his power, his height also increased by a 2 inches
this year he was 14 years old and it was mid of 2nd month of the year, he has black hair ,blue eyes , baby face and his height is 1.74 meters
as he stood up he heard cruhh cruhh... sound as he saw 2 little stone bear cubs come out for the cave the walked towards him as they saw him as their parent.
stone bear had a very powerful defense and attack they nature when they grow up their power can compare to true element cultivators but there were very few of them who could reach their level of power cause the resources and time needed was a lot and not many people could afford it,
power ranking of spiritual beast was also similar to human but they don't have any minor levels they start from tier 1 to tier 9 from tier 1 to 3
they have power of initial element from tier 4 to 6 they have power of true element after tier 7 it becomes very hard to rank up as peak tier 9 has power of transcendent.
soon he picked up the cubs and patted their head as they were hungry they looked at Jiang Chen for food Jiang Chen could understand with one look at their eyes as he thought what to feed then he saw the body of tier 3 purple eyed snake and was very nutritious and was still intact , he went forward and cut a few pieces of meat for him and the cubs as he place it in front of them, they came near the meat and smelled it and had a bite and the next moment they threw the meat out of their mouth, Jiang Chen saw this and sighed as he was thinking again what to feed then while he was roasting the meat on fire , soon he got an idea and put his spirit conscious into the ring and saw a few bottles of pills he read the labels on the bottle and found an interesting name beast power rank 2 pills, he took the bottle out of the ring and opened the lead and the smell came out the bear cubs we so attracted to it that they started jumping to grab the bottle Jiang Chen soon took out 1 pill for each of them and gave it to them they gulped it in a single go and after few minutes they looked at him again for more pills Jiang Chen sighed as he only had few dozen of pills left he took out 2 more pills and crushed it and mixed it with the meat bear cubs started eating the meat and after they finished their meal they were full and were laying around their tummy and sleeping Jiang Chen also finished his food and picked up the 2 cubs and went inside the cave, he sat in ones of the corners and saw the body of the dead stone bear he got up and store it in and then moved towards the snake body and stored it too he could get quite the sum of money if he sells their corpse he got back and sat and saw his belongings he only had few copper coins
which were enough for 2 meals.

100 silver coins = 1 gold coin
100 gold coins = 1 low tier spirit stone
100 low tier spirit stone = 1 medium spirit stone
