It's been more than three years, since Roy started his study's under Thomas. Now Roy is finally done with all of the basic education.Roy is now six and half years old. With a decent level of acting skills. From all the pretending I am doing on a daily basis with my mother as a adorable child, Acting to study with Thomas. And being a normal child ... General problems associated with transmigration, I guess Roy thought.
In this three and half years. I regularly went to the library, collecting more and more data, about the history, cultivation, qi, plants, Beasts, General knowledge about currency, and details about my family.
Right now I might be among one of the most knowledgeable person's in the immortal realm. With the help of the A.I. chip of course .After the analysis of the data. I got a simple summary from the A.I. Chip
With the analysis of A.I. chip. It seems I can do qi cultivation normally, even though I formed a core. A.I. chip also noticed that the minimum age for cultivation is Ten to twelve year's old, for children. For the Noble households with the help of instructor's and a proper nutritiously balanced diet, they can start at eight years of age. I also noticed there are three major differences between qi cultivation and core formation
first is the difference in the lifespan. By forming the Beasts core any beast can live up to 2,000 years and it goes up, by increasing the quality of the core, which is similar to my previous life. But for golden core stage it only increases by 300 years. which is actually not much. A.I. Chip deduced that the difference comes from the amount of impurities expelled during the cultivation. It is the reason why Nascent soul stage is a big hurdle for cultivation. But not to Beasts though, they naturally enter the Nascent soul stage.
second difference is the time taken to form the Nascent soul. For Beasts it takes many centuries to cultivate there Nascent soul. But for qi cultivation geniuses and prodigy's it only takes about 100 to 150 years to form there Nascent soul. And one truly incredible genius did it in 50 years. I think it's really incredible
And finally the compatibility with the elements. In qi cultivation you can use all the elements, even if you're naturally talented with one element. But in core formation you can only use one or two elements like Beasts. And it is very difficult to conjure other elements.
About my family, Wilson's. It is one of the eight Marquee families in Phoenix province. Every Marquee family has at least one immortal patriarch. my grand father is an immortal I guess, whom I never saw before. And about my father who I barely remember is gone to prepare for the immortal tribulation. Our territory is in the East South East (ESE) direction of the Phoenix province and is called as Wilson's Marquette. It is a rich territory nown for it's ore mines and blacksmithing.
These days. To prepare Roy's body for qi cultivation.Roy is eating a lot of beast meat, hurbs, tonic's and other things rich in qi. Roy noticed that they can accelerate the development of his core. Now Roy can enter Orange core stage anytime he wants. But he is suppressing his cultivation because, Roy's personal training room in the basement which is supposed to have arrays to block sound, smell, and spiritual Sense. is not completed Yet, it should take about couple of days now....
My major concern and focus is on developing a technique, to disguise my beast core. I am working on it from the day I activated my A.I. Chip . By browsing through library and my past life. Chip developed a technique which can hide my core from spiritual Sense. but if the person directly injects spiritual energy into my body to check properly, I have a 50% chance of being found out, And the technique is less effective more the cultivation base of the person increases . A.I. chip needs more experimental data. I need to experiment on people, which I can't do right now. I need to be very careful until then.
Couple of weeks ago, I successfully evolved my red core, to the yellow core stage. In a week my new qi cultivation instructor whom my mom selected will start teaching me. Last couple of weeks I've been flipping books every time I got some free time. A couple of days back before going to bed, I asked the A.I. Chip to analyze the data. Then I was pleasantly surprised after hearing the mechanical voice.
[Beep! Task established, beginning Analysis of data.]
[Beep! Match found Alert!.]
[Beep! Modifications completed, host's task completed.]
[Beep! Data transfer YES/NO Alert! .]
After hearing the alert, Roy immediately said YES
[Beep! Data transferring completed Alert!.]
After the data transfer, Roy found that the solution A.I. Chip came up with was to seal the core, with a special method. Until I remove the restrictions with the help of A.I. Chip, even I couldn't Sense the core. There are some major downsides to this method. After sealing it, I can only unseal it with the help of A.I. chip , And waiting for a week after sealing it to unseal again. I can't even use it in emergencies. Because my core is going to be empty after unsealing it.
Today Roy is meeting with his qi cultivation instructor. yesterday with the help of the A.I. chip, Roy sealed his Yellow core. Now Roy's strength decreased due to the seal. Roy saw a tall young man coming towards him in the basement, he has red hair, green eyes and lean physic. After he came near, Roy quickly greeted him by a bow. And introduced himself by saying I am Roy Wilson. 8 years old. I know instructor said. and continued, since you introduced you're self so politely, I will do the same. My name is jack, I am a Deacon elder of the branch academy, in your Marquette territory. How did my mom convince an elder of the academy to teach me, Roy thought. Roy quickly focused on Jack's words. I will only teach you until you reach qi gathering stage, and I will visit once a week to check your progress, and rectify any mistakes you make during cultivation. Kid you're pretty lucky, that I am teaching you..
"Hmm, scan Jack's body,
[Name: Jack, Gender: Male, Strength: ?, Agility: ?, Vitality: ?.Alert! . life form is excessively dangerous. Recommendation: Host should take caution.]
Added on to that were the A.I. Chip's warnings of [Detected interference from unknown forcefield, scan impossible.]
A red warning flashed continues-ly.
Jack started speaking. Before starting on the path of Cultivation, one must first refine various layers of one's body in order to expel impurities and strengthen the body in order to prepare for actual cultivation. The Body Refinement Layers are therefore not Cultivation Ranks, as they precede true cultivation.
It involves the tempering of once body and is separated into six stages. The first stage is Strength Training, second is Flesh Training, third is Viscera Training, fourth is Altering Muscle, fifth is Bone Forging and sixth is Pulse Condensing.
Now let's go to the training area, Jack ordered. Roy quickly opened the door besides him and entered inside, jack following behind him. After seeing the arrays protecting the walls, and the equipment inside Jack was very impressed.
strength training involves the performance of physical exercises that are designed to improve strength, anaerobic endurance and size of skeletal muscles.Jack said
Let's see. start by running 20 laps around the room. After hearing that Roy started to run in circles, in the room. You didn't even break a sweat from that. Kid now I will make you a training routine for the weak.
Jack's Pov ; I am really impressed with the kid's physic, it is really suitable for cultivation. His body is very strong compared to his age, It is as strong as the body of a person, who gone through the body tempering process before. I know that some people are born with a strong body, which can readily accept qi. I think Roy has an especially strong body, And I will not be surprised if he's done with the Body refinement, in a year.
After one year and one month, Roy now entered the qi gathering stage. Sensing Roy's breakthrough Jack congratulated him, for completing his training. Now go to sleep early, tomorrow you will have a surprise waiting for you.
Next day my butler passed me the instructions from jack, to wait for an hour before coming to the basement. What the fuck. isn't jack going a little overboard with the celebrations. Is he going to bring a bunch of people to sing in unison, for completing my training. whatever Roy thought.
After an hour, Roy slowly opened the door of the training room. Roy was speachless seeing a bunch of people in the room. instead of singing they were all tied to the chairs with gags in there mouth. I slowly walked towards Jack, and asked him what the heck was going on. Jack looking Stern, started to speak. Roy also started listening. You know If you leave this mansion, the world is a cruel place, with treachery, back stabbing, deceit and lies. Even if you have a good background or a martial arts genius, You wouldn't survive for long. If you don't know how to be decisive, when need be. Roy looking at Jack thought, Is he going to tell me a sob story, of how world is a cruel place. And you need to be ruthless to succeed. But Jack's next words made him speachless. You're mom told me to do this, because you weren't in any danger or interacted with anyone having bad intentions. You're protected all the time in this mansion. And you're mom is worried that when you go outside, you will be disadvantaged.
Jack giving me a knife, pointed towards the people tied to the chairs. slowly walking to them, Internally I commanded A.I. Chip, scan the bodies of the people around me and display their stats!"
[Beep! Task established, beginning collection of statistics.] In almost an instant, 3D holograms of the surrounding people's bodies appeared in front of Roy, displaying their stats.
{Name: Unknown. Gender: Male. Power level: +20,000}
{Name: Unknown. Gender: Female. Power level: +2,000}
{Name: Unknown. Gender: Male. Power level: +10,000 }

[Beep! Experimental Data Required, cannot perform accurate analysis. Alert!. Recommendation: Host should collect more data, to do further analysis]
After seeing the notification. Turning around, showing confusion and pain on my face I asked. who are they. Jack said that they are Hayness criminals, who committed many evil deeds. And deserve death.
Again turning around, and walking upto the criminals. I again questioned jack. What evil did they commit? to deserve death. Hearing that Jack while frowning answered, They are known as tiger ridge gang. They are a pretty notorious bandit group, who looted merchants , raped women and terrorised people. Jack replied....
Hearing that, I moved forward, placing my knife on a criminals throat. I started to shake my hand. showing hesitation on my face, I repeatedly placed the the knife on the neck and then removed it . Seeing all of this Jack's frown deepened.
Now I am shaking like a vibrator, placing the knife on the criminals throat. which is now red, and filled with shallow cuts. I can now see speachlessness and unwillingness in the criminals eye's.
Drenched in sweat and looking as pale as a ghost. I asked jack if we can continue this, next week. Looking at me jack took a deep breath, sighed audibly. After a lot of arguing and convincing. Jack removing the gags from there mouths, gave each of them water to drink. And warned me, not to go inside the training room, Until he returns in five days. Hearing that I wanted to smile so badly, But suppressing my laughter, I looked down in shame and embarrassment, nodded to him. I can hear a woosh, looking up he is gone. He must be in a hurry. I kept him here for a long time.
Slowly walking towards the door, looking back, I cannot stop grinning looking at the criminals. I don't want to leave you guys here, but I need something to properly entertain you guys, So wait for me. saying that I closed the door of my training room....
Going into my room, first I had a hardy meal. Then I asked my maid's to call the butler. In a few minutes my butler came and greatad me, I nodded to him, and told the maid to leave us alone. Looking at my butler, I told him to note down the things I am saying, and bring it to me till tomorrow morning. He hesitated for a bit and asked me, what am I going to do with these things. I explained to him that some of the ingredients are for my cultivation. And the rest are for experimenting on a Bigginer pill recipe that I got. I asked him to keep it a secret from everyone, including my mom. I don't want to embarrass myself if I failed. Butler understanding nodded to me. And went away to prepare the ingredients on the list...
Next day, After eating. My butler came and passed me all the things, I asked him to prepare yesterday. After checking everything was in order, I gave him a nod of acknowledgment, and walked towards the basement.
Tiger ridge gangs Pov : After the big guy went off, the kid's demeanor changed completely from a pushover. He kept looking at us with a creepy smile on his face, After hearing him saying that, he will prepare some ingredients for us. We felt chills down our spines.
Kid came back again with a creepy looking smile. He waved at us with a new ring on his finger. And gone to drag some tables to the middle of the room. And started to remove tools and ingredients from his space ring. Mumbling something to himself, kid came in front of us. And dragged the weakest member of our gang a qi gathering cultivator, towards the table. After a while we can hear inhumane screams comming from our brother...
My experimental subjects included, Two golden core stage, two foundation establishment and one qi gathering stage cultivators. It's now the third day, since I started following the instructions coming from the A.I. Chip. The experiments became more and more brutal as the time went on. Even in my previous life I didn't see anyone treating beasts this badly. I can feel a chill going down my spine. Don't get me wrong I am not a Hippocrate who thinks it's fine to do anything to bad people. Now they don't even beg me to kill them, they are completely broken whatever I do, they don't respond. I took a deep breath, and continued following the instructions coming from the A.I. Chip. Now the least I can do is respect there life's, by completely using them for my needs. The last person died during the evening of the fourth day. If jack sees these corpses. He might think that some devil from hell came and did this to them. Turning around, I heard the prompt from A.I. Chip.
And felt a little satisfaction.

I went to the kitchen. Seeing me enter everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked at me. I can see some nervous faces. someone from the group came upto me asked if I want some food to eat. I signalled him to stop, and bring me some fire wood. He hesitated, but I ordered everyone to collect some fire wood. Everyone hurriedly gathered some fire wood. I told them to place it in front of me, and I collected the firewood in my space ring. And went towards the basement
In the training room. I started to place the fire wood on the ground in five sections, then I piled up the body's on each section. Now I dumped the remaining firewood on top of the body's, and started burning them. After seeing the bodies being burnt for sometime, I went back to my room and slept
Early morning the next day. I went back to my training room, seeing the body's burnt out, I collected all the ashes and went to the lake in front of the mansion. While scattering the ashes in the lake, I prayed for the tiger ridge gang to live a good life in the next reincarnation...
