Solaris had bought a bed sheet with him before he burned the house. So after a long session of meditation, Solaris fell asleep on the roof. He used those sheets to cover his face and fell asleep. Although it was hot outside and the rays of the sun were directly falling on Solaris, it didn't faze him. He still fell asleep on the roof.
After taking a long nap, Solaris woke up. He saw that the sun was about to set. He thought that before the sun sets he should get enough supplies. So Solaris came down from the roof. He saw that some stoners were lying in the house. But all of them were so stoned that they didn't notice that Solaris went by them.
Solaris drank water from a well near that place. As there was no one around. He took off his clothes and took a bath as well. After taking a bath, Solaris went to the bakery again and this time he bought a handful of bread. And then he returned to the house.
After getting on the roof again, Solaris had some of the bread that he had brought. And then he started meditating again. With the meridian node fully opened he could move towards the first steps of the cultivation. And that first step was that now he had to clean the impurities that he had in his body.
Solaris started sucking in the dense energy that was present in the air. As he sucked in the energy his right hand started shaking. It was shaking due to the force that energy was exerting on his right hand. That energy was forcefully penetrating through the meridians of the body thus pushing the impurities out of the way.
After one hour of meditating, Solaris's right hand started secreting black color impurities out of his body. And slowly the Solaris started using that energy to push out all the impurities through all of his body parts…
…
For the next two days, Solaris didn't do anything other than meditation and eating. But still, he was not able to completely purify his body. Normally two days would have been more than enough to purify the whole body. But this process of purifying started taking that long because Solaris found something pretty interesting in this body.
Solaris was well versed with meridians that were found in the body. But in this body, the alignment of the meridians was very different from the bodies found back in the Cultivation world. Solaris found some new meridian nodes in his right hand that was not supposed to be there in the first place.
Due to different pathways in this body, Solaris had to slow down the process of cleansing by a very significant percentage. So rather than cleansing the whole body, Solaris spent the rest of the two days mapping out the meridians of the body. Only then he could restart the rigorous cleansing process.
As the two days were over, Solaris came down from the roof and started walking towards the base of the battalion. The base was the most famous place in the whole Valgoore town. So Solaris didn't face any problem while finding the base.
The base of the battalion was spread over 10km. So Solaris had to walk a lot before he was able to get to the main gate. The main gate of the base was a large metal gate. By the main gate, soldiers were standing with spears in their hands. When Solaris reached the gate he showed the envelope that he got from the hospital.
Those soldiers let Solaris in as they saw the envelope in his hand. They also instructed him about the direction where he had to report. As Solaris followed the direction that those soldiers gave him, he reached a very big ground. As Solaris got there he saw that on the field, there was a very ship docked.
That ship wasn't something that Solaris had ever seen. That ship looked like a normal sailing ship but was flat from down below. That ship also had four huge pillars in all 4 corners of the ship. According to Solaris, those pillars should be responsible for flying this ship.
As Solaris saw the ship he became excited after a very long time. Solaris started running towards the ship. He wanted to have a very close look at this magnificent machinery…
…
Solaris got into the ship with the help of stairs below the ship. There he saw a man sitting by the gate. That man took the envelope from Solaris and opened it. Inside the envelope, there was a piece of parchment with something inscribed on it. After checking the content of the parchment, that man looked at Solaris and asked…
"You don't know how to read or write?" That man asked
"Yes," Solaris said.
That man sighed and took out a blue color orb from his pocket. That blue color orb was very small like a bouncy ball. He gave that ball to Solaris and said…
"Chew this ball." That man said.
Solaris would have been reluctant to chew that shady ball. But there was no reason for that man to hurt him so he chews that ball and then finally swallowed it. That man then told Solaris that the ball was magic which would help him to read and write. Solaris did not believe it first but soon certain knowledge about this world's language appeared in his mind.
Then that man told Solaris that he came very early. This ship would leave this evening. Not before that. But Solaris didn't care about it. That man instructed as he was the first one here he could choose any cabins that he liked.
Solaris happily went and chose the cabin at the far end. The cabin had a very small bed by the side of the room. There was a door inside the cabin which Solaris and it turned out to be a bathroom. While there were also two wardrobes and a desk. And on the desk, there was a small booklet. And that booklet something was engraved in golden color…
