Chapter 1 - Encounter

"Run!" The old man told Wen Jin to get away, the man that was chasing him was very brutal.

They have killed several people, these were the bandits that lived on that mountain, he and the old man was passing through.

"Damn!" Wen Jin was running for his life, in fact he was always running from something.

In his early years he was raised by a nurturing mother, but in the Wen family there is rules of survival that mandatory for every offspring of the lowest level to be able to survive outside the family until they reach teenager. The seeds of the family that survived will be made the next family head candidate, even then the rivalry would be cruel, they will kill each other if they ever stayed on the same room without any witness.

"Akh!" Wen Jin was tripped, he was thrown near a cliff, too bad there was a pile of sand, the dust was thick it got into his eyes! Enduring the pain he go through bushes and trees, but the bandits has catch up to him! He is now on a dead end a couple meters of the ground on the edge of the cliff, the river was roaring below the ravine. He was calculating the possibilities to jump and stayed alive, the old man was his guardian the one that was assign by the family. Many offspring of the family meet their demise in the wilds, many lost hope and forsake the family, swore to never come home again. Talent is what the elder was after, in this cultivation world there are people that has talent or the people with normal conditions, the former was acknowledge since three years old. The talent variant was able to be developed but it the talent emerge after three years old, it was determined to be a lesser and a weak link. Just because of this reason the family generations elder choose the bad seed without talent should be cast out, to be tempered in the wild. Seed could be born, but how do they invest their resources too was certain, they have no use of trash that can't fend for themselves!

"Okay guys! We should talk about this!" Wen jin trying to negotiate.

"Get over here you brat! You has to make me run for your puny lives!" The bandit with a saber in his hand has been chasing him all this time even when the old man has thrown off all their tracks.

"Someone has sent you right! Come on sir! Just let me go and tell the Wen elder that i was dead! I don't want to be dead!"

"Silence! We were promised money for your head, only you head, not your body!" The other bandit pointed at his head.

"Fuck! I should know where that fat meat on your belly coming from, blood money!" Wen jin raised his middle finger before he turn around and jump!

"Don't!! Ahhh! There goes our wine expense!" The bandit with the saber shook his head.

"Shit!! I should not except this wasteful mission, there would be no next time, i have had it!" The bandit turn around.

"Hmm do you want to search down there?" The saber carrying bandit pointed to the river down the ravine.

"Then you jump for all i care! Fuck the brat! Let's take the old man head! It also worth something, just tell the brat jumped over the cliff! Nobody cares we can get 25% of the bounty, with the old man head as proof! It's better than nothing!"

"Ah i guess you right! Pah!" The saber carrying bandit spit over the cliff because he was upset.

"Call the rides!" The other bandit told the saber bandit.

Not before long a giant wolf come through the bushes near by, it was the wind scent wolf. The beast was trained to pick up the scent of the target, that is why after several days throwing off their tracks the bandits still can found them. The bandit has a talent, the talented people can converse with their spiritual counter parts in a mirror dimension that with attract the portal that brought their counter part spirit into this world. A low rank cultivator talent can only had one spirit beast all of their remaining lives. Low rank cultivators range from level 1 to 5 was usually awaken at the age of 6 to 8 years old with a slim chance to reach beyond the 6 level of intermediate rank. It would be hard and takes on resources, at 4 or 5 years the chance to break into the 8 level was possible, it also takes mountains of resources to cultivates.

"Where is the boy!" The old man asked the bandit who was just coming back.

"He escape!" The bandit replied.

"Hahaha thank God! Good on him!" The old man smiled.

"What the heck you smiling for old man! He escape from me and escape from this life! He jump over a cliff!" The bandit sneered at the old man taunting.

The saber carrying bandit also laugh profusely, he was taking revenge of the old man because he was hard to track.

"Oh, dear sir did he leave me a message?" The old man sadly asked.

"He told us to bring your head to the family and waved his hand all the way down the ravine! Hahahaha!" The bandit was messing with the old man.

The old man only hang his head down gazing at the ground, he has failed his guardianship mission. Even if the young lord survive he would be crippled or injured, when a normal late talent come back home after the trial, they would be placed as an internal worker that serves the family. Crippled and injured was regarded as trash that not even worth keeping, the outside test was to determined is the failed talent can survive and come back unscathed to receive the family name title. His master Wen Tjong was the survivalist of this trials, he manage to be awaken at 5 years old and receive a titled, he was the chief of the vicious pavilion hall that oversee the procurement of spirit beast, to be awaken at 5, Wen Tjong has three spirit beast that he got at level 1, level 6 and level 8. He kind of drop the ball after the level 8 without any sign for further development. He got married an produce three offspring, two of them was declare dead on the survival trials. Wen Jin was number three, although his father tried his best to bring out his talent at the age of three with all kinds of medicine and concoctions, he still unable to awaken his talent, sadly his father has to sent his third offspring into harms way!

"Just killed me and get over with!" The old man shout at the bandits.

The saber of the bandit swing over the old man neck and his head was rolling like a bowling bowl.

On an underground river, Wen Jin was inch away from drowning and died, he struggles to fight the roaring river. He has swallowed water that makes his stomach bloated, but he has not yet surrender his life. The river down stream has take him into this underground river, it was just his bad luck that under the current of the river bed there was this mysterious vortex that dragged him underground. Just about when he was almost out of breath and space on his endless water gabbling, he even can not make a help shout toward the surface. BAM! He was smashed very hard to a shore of and underground cave, he collapse at the spot before he can scream out of pain.

"Hey wake up you beggar! Died somewhere else! Oh great! The first people that able to reach my prison was this beggar boy!" A sound commented. He was too tired to wake up and check the source of the voice and passed out.

The owner of the sound was a tiny golden dragon, that was imprison there by the four guardian beast. The vortex at the end of the river was a natural mechanism to repel anything to entered the underground prison, by freak accident Wen jin manage to created a bullseye ripple effect that breach the natural repellent. That cause him to be stranded on the prison with the mysterious golden tiny dragon.

"Hmm! This boy constitution is good! Ah! Why is there so many blockage on his talent veins! Wow look at those nourishment! This kid talent veins was blocked like a heart with coronary artery disease! Who feed you and destroyed your fate! Dumb fuck!" The tiny golden dragon mumbling.

"I am going to save your sorry ass, you going to owe me your stupid candy lily ass!" There is a golden light flickering from the tiny golden dragon palm.

Three hours later suddenly Wen Jin wake up "Ahhhhhh!!"

"What the hell you screaming for dumb fuck!" His scream just startle the tiny golden dragon.
