Aron had come from inner city after his father mana was corrupted. Hunters use the power of mana to store it in their heart, If this container is broken then hunters are not able to use their mana and strength starts declining. Aron's father was going through the same thing and has been thrown out of inner city even after doing so much so Aron was desperate to take back their home and go back to the inner city and very few people know that core city is the real paradise for humanity and his aim is to reach there.
On Min Shi side:
Min Shi was waiting for the night before drinking the liquid, Min Shi did not thought about this much when she started but she started realising and that in night her cultivate speed is 5 times then that of day, she is not sure about this reason right now so she decided to drink the body strength fluid in night for maximum efficiency.
During night, when she pour the fluid down her throat, she was feeling changes in her body at visible rate, other than the energy from the fluid, she could see the energy around her gathering and absorbed at a faster rate, she was pretty sure that based on this she will reach the first stage in next 2 hours.
Xian Yu POV:
After Xian Yu crushed the reward for 3X cultivation speed, his speed was faster but he still felt that this was not enough, when suddenly he could see that the progress multiplied by more than 10 times. He was completely shocked and out of his wits so he decided to ask the system to which he only got one reply.
[Host you should wash the feet of your disciples and drink that water.]
Xian Yu understood that something must be going on with both of them but he was getting benefits from it so he decided not to pursue this for now. Time continued to pass like this, On next day 3 breakthroughs happened. Xian Yu's cultivation became body tempering stage 2 and his disciples Min Shi and Aron broke through stage 1.
[Congratulations Host, your disciples have started walking on the path of immortality.
Compulsory Reward: Trip to Azure world for you and your disciples,
Countdown: 4 days
Hint: be prepared and all the best for your survival. :)]
Hey system, what do you mean by this? will you send us to another world and for how long? what will happen there? Xian Yu kept asking all this but the system completely ignored it. Xian Yu knew that if system warned that means it will be almost death adventure.
Suddenly all the happiness of break through washed away. Xian Yu made a plan to prepare everything, first he called Min Shi and Aron to a cafe to meet him.
Xian Yu washed himself up and started proceeding towards the cafe. The next age of ceremony is 2 days away. He did not care about it anymore since it only selects the students who are allowed to compete for hunter academy. There were many hunter academies but only 2 which produces monsters. One of the them in star academy and another is sky academy, Xian Yu target was to get into one of those but he decided to make sure that Aron and Min Shi also goes with him.
Xian Yu wanted to create his own force in the future with his trusted personnels and its better to get them to be his disciples since they will not be able to betray him, at least for now.
Xian Yu reached the cafe first since Min Shi and Aron still didn't knew about each other so he though its better if he introduces them. Aron came after him, After Aron reached body tempering stage 1, he decided to start working on sensing the energy around him as depending on external factors would only benefit him in short term.
He was very excited to meet Xian Yu, since he has reached the first stage, he also wanted the next page of the manual to start with second stage. Xian Yu could see the excitement on his face and knew what he wanted, he just gave him a small chuckle and ordered a lot of food, to be truth the most expensive food there was. Since Aron was here, Xian Yu decided to go all with it.
In the mean time, Min Shi also arrived, Xian Yu called her to sit with them. Aron knew that Min Shi was also not awakened as a hunter and judging by why Xian Yu called both of us, probably she is one of them. This time Aron got serious and stopped his joking side.
Xian Yu knew that both of them were confused so without in delay he started the introduction.
"Aron, Min Shi is your senior sister, she is my first disciple and Min Shi, Aron is your junior brother." Both of them were not shocked as they already expected that with the power of cultivation there is no way they would be alone but still they were a bit dispirited since they wanted to have the feel of being someone special.
"Congrats to both of you on your breakthrough, this is the second page for the next stage. you both should know that what you have is different from hunters, the way we grow is different from hunters, We cannot use mana to do any attribute attacks such as fire, ice etc so our path is also very different."
Seeing Xian Yu getting serious, both of them nodded seriously.
"I want both of you to work very hard, In the academy exams, our target would either be star or sky academy. If any of you fail to reach that then I will abolish our master disciple contract and we will not have any relations with each other."
Xian Yu did not knew if he could do that without system permission but he needed some fire to push them and judging by their shocked expression it seems it worked.
There is also another thing, whatever you experience with me, you should know to keep that a secret, I would know as soon as the secret of cultivation got leaked and the consequences will not be something you will be able to handle. Normally Xian Yu was not this much serious but he needed to keep a firm stand to never let this get into any enemy hands.
Min Shi and Aron also knew that something this much of a treasure would not be given without assurance, Xian Yu must have done something to make sure it doesn't leak out but to their surprise Xian Yu did not know what to do so he just bluffed about it.
