Even though Tyche is just a eight year old kid, his maturity level is something above his and he his very intelligent so he understood how to behave when he saw the situation was not in their favor and when he heard Grey mentioned that they will be acting as a wandering cultivators he grasped their role in the coming year.
As Tyche was thinking about their previous situation they have reached the space station and like before they didn't receive any warm welcome from anyone, by the time they arrived the space craft was already in the deck so they boarded in along with some hundred other passengers.
This space craft was not luxurious as their clans space ships and even in from the cabin of two they can still here noises outside, only the guards patrolling gave everyone some assurance about their safety.
Soon the space craft was ready to departed from the deck with the announcement from the captain, "Armon Space Ship will be departing from Skarr now, passengers please pay attention to your safety. The ship will be taking of in 3, 2 and 1"
The space craft departed from the deck but speed was mo where nere grade 7 space craft Tyche just used where this Armon space ship is barely a grade 5 space ship. In a while their ship breeched the atmospheric layer of Skarr and entered the vast space.
Tyche once again viewed the vast space covered by countless stars and asked Grey, "Uncle Grey why are we using this public space ship and why should we act like travellers"
He was very dissatisfied with the way they were treated along the way so he couldn't help but ask. When Grey heard this question he knew it is time to clarify some information about the exercise to Tyche and he asked, "Young master, you wish to cultivate right?"
Tyche was taken back by this sudden question from Grey but he still nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Grey Iwish to cultivate and do all those cool things mentioned in novels and by adults".
His thoughts were simple and pure where he doesn't have any other complicated reasons to cultivate.
Hearing Tyche's answer Grey sighed and continued, "Then what is the reason for young master's need to get strong by cultivating"
Hearing this question Tyche recalled similar question his father asked few days back at that time he didn't think much and answer him with the definition of cultivation but now that he think about it he felt puzzled himself, 'Yeah, why should I cultivate'.
As for the reason of doing cool things he said before he can do that using artifacts and he has many servants who are strong enough to do that and as a Ashborn Clan descendent if he wants to live a long life without cultivating all he needs are pills to increase his life span or find a immortal source to live forever so what reason does he have to cultivate which is not difficult task for his family. Tyche answered hesitantly, "Maybe you become stronger".
Grey smiled when he saw that pondering look on Tyche's face and said, "Young master, don't worry we are on this trip to find a reason and goal for you to cultivate"
Yes, this Mental Tempering Exercise is to be followed by every clan member so that they can find a goal or reason to cultivate. This custom is adopted so that the clan members will have clear mind and proper goal to achieve and not just have a power so that they can do anything and misuse their strength.
This exercise was said to be initiated by the founders of Ashborn clan: Grimm Ashborn and his wife Freya Ashborn so that their descendents can achieve greatness in their own field.
As Tyche heard the true reason for this trip to outside world everything became clear to him and he finally knows the reason for everyones weird behavior with him before leaving the clan and he also understood that from this trip or exercise he will start to lay foundation for his future cultivation path.
He felt better knowing all this and asked Grey a question, "Uncle Grey, why everyone along the way acting rude and disrespectful towards us when we never bothered them".
When Grey heard this question he smiled and answered, "Young master, remember when cultivators meet someone who is of lower status or talent than them they will show their superior nature when they don't have any use for that low status people. This is just how the society works".
