After buying everything he need Theo went to his house.....
Keeping everything he bought in his shed, Theo started making training plans. and it goes like this
100 push ups
100 pull ups
100 squats
20 Km run
1000 swinging of swords
and body tempering.
why there is no need for training of breathing technique is because breathing technique are use in a way to guide qi to their body and to the dantian, so that's why he can only used breathing technique to tempered his body. so there is need for it.
Theo start taking his upper clothe so that he won't drenched his cloth with sweat. As he look at his body, he can see that he doesn't have any muscle, he is a skinny 12 year old boy. he doesn't look malnourished. after looking at himself Theo start doing his training according to routine he make.
He usually get tired after doing push up and pull up, till then he didn't give up. as for why he is doing this routine, because he have to build his stamina and why 100, because it is one for immediate and stable result. before any follow up training.
After finishing his 100 Squats, Theo was dead tired, so he took 30 minute rest and start running. from his house to town is only 10 meters, so he decided that the route he will take will be that.
running approx. 30 min minute, he took rest. so that he can start swinging the sword. After taking rest Theo took the sword, still mesmerized how beautiful was the black sword, he notice that, there was something engraved in the handle of sword. Theo look at the engraving and read," Agerico, hmm, it must be name of the sword, let see what is written down," he muttered." drop a drop of blood, what does it meant" feeling confused and little bit of fear, Theo decided that he will take the risk so he drop a drop of blood in the sword to see what it will happen.
soon Theo will understand how lucky he was to get such a good sword. When the drop of blood met the sword, Theo felt connected with sword, but he doesn't understand the feeling of that, as he was knew in cultivation, we will find it out later, i guess.
Theo look at the sword, thinking something only he knew, pondering for some time, he decided that he would start swinging the sword. Yesterday while reading the old book, he learn that, the swinging of the sword and his breathing must synchronized. Thinking what was written and how it must be done, Theo start swinging his sword, like when he is swinging his sword up, he start breathing in and when he swing his sword down, he breath out the air he breath in. He start doing this for couple of times. after that he felt his hand numb from swinging,
Theo whispered," it 's not easy as it was in the book i guess i have to do this for a week and increase the number of swing every week",
finishing his workout Theo was too tired so he just lay down, and soon felt asleep,
After what seems like eternity, Theo woke up, sun was shining to the top, so he guess it was noon
soon his stomach started rumbling, so he got up and start preparing lunch for himself. while the food was cooking he went to the stream to wash the sweat he build up. While walking he can feel his body in pain, it was difficult to even walk. gritting his teeth he walk to the stream and took bath in the stream.
After doing everything he needed to be done, he sat down and took Golden body transformation technique. And start reading it.
It is divided it 9 stages, where 1-4 stages are called basic tempering i.e.
skin, muscle, vein and bones and 5-9 is called five treasure organ tempering. i.e. heart, lungs, spleen, liver, and kidney.
follow up from 9 stages, the page was thorn, Theo doesn't know who did it, but he felt lost thinking," how good this technique would be when it was complete." But Theo knows that even if he think or felt angry at who ever did it. it won't change anything. so he started looking at the breathing technique as he would need it for his body tempering technique.
The breathing Technique he brought was call zen breathing technique as he read the book, which start like this," everything is born from yin and yang, breathing itself is a form of yin and yang. you breath in and breath out. Everything is yin and as well as yang, so whatever you do synchronize your breath with it. Even if you walk and sleep. Every qi you breath has yin and yang. feel the qi in your air, differentiate it between yin and yang, only then you would understand the true meaning of life."
Theo was enlightenment by reading it. he understood what he had to do, but he didn't understand why this breathing was in low level common grade. but who would tell him, that every body can feel the qi but cannot differentiate it with yin and yang.
after reading the technique Theo start feeling the qi, and what seems like an hour or two. he soon feel the qi. feeling qi wasn't hard, guiding the qi to the body was heard. at start Theo felt difficult to guide the qi to the body to tempered it. but soon he get the hang of the qi and start tempering his body. Theo doesn't have any physiques and spirit root to cultivate but he has good comprehensive talent. he can comprehend any things if you give him some time, because of this he earn his livings. cause from childhood people taught him how to do, what to do and he learn it very fast. Even the people of the town was ask, whom they will choose from Theo or grown up man with good physical body. They will choose Theo, because they don't have to teach Theo over and over again. they only have to teach Theo once and he will know what to do, after sometimes he can do better than most people. That's why Theo learn very fast how to guide the qi to the body to tempered it.
As many would have a question. why not collect qi in your dantian instead of tempering it, because if you don't tempered your body and collect the qi, it would be impure qi and you would have difficulties while breaking through. so you need to refine the qi and to refine the qi you need to tempered your body.
