After eating breakfast, Ji Yichen followed his Master to the hill behind their house.
This was the dedicated spot to the 100 disciples of Du Zhuhui in the Clarity Sky Forge Sect.
To others, it may seem that Du Zhuhui was able to get this place due to the huge number of disciples that he got. But in reality, he bribed the Sect Master for it.
Just like how he bribed him in order to have the Elder position in the Sect 200 years ago.
Back then, Du Zhuhui gave the Sect Master an Early Void Shattering Realm Artifact.
This was one of the Artifacts that he categorized as slightly good, so Du Zhuhui didn't feel any sort of attachment to the artifact.
Arriving at the top of the hill, Ji Yichen was exhausted. After all, he was still a child. He didn't have the stamina of an adult to hike for almost one hour.
"Ji Yichen, as you are still in the Mortal Realm you need to develop enough strength for your body to be able to sustain the Spiritual Qi..."
Although Ji Yichen couldn't understand anything hat his Master just said, he still nodded his head. He wanted this cultivation lesson to finish as soon as possible so he could play with his tablet.
Knowing that Ji Yichen was just pretending to understand his words, Du Zhuhui sighed. It seems like he needed to show it to his disciple how to do it rather than explaining it theoretically.
"Ji Yichen, watch me doing a set of exercises for you. After that, you will need to do them. Understood?"
"I understand, Master."
Hearing the response of Ji Yichen, Du Zhuhui started doing jumping jacks.
"Did you follow me? Now, do it on your own."
Ji Yichen showed a confused face at his Master and started to jump.
Recalling that his master used his hands too, Ji Yichen slowly put both his arms up.
"Am I doing good, Master?"
"Your arm should go up sideways, not in front of you..."
Currently, everytime that Ji Yichen jumped, he would raise his arms in front of him. With his Masters guidance, Ji Yichen followed his advice and started jumping while raising his arms sideways.
However, there was still something wrong in his Jumping Jacks.
"You should close and open your legs at the same time with your arms... Yes, yes, like that."
After a few more directions, Ji Yichen was now able to do Jumping Jacks properly.
In the next few hours, Du Zhuhui only taught simple basic exercises that even children could do. For now, he would be focusing on developing Ji Yichen's body to make it more suitable for cultivation.
While they were resting, Du Zhuhui decided to start asking Ji Yichen.
"Ji Yichen, do you know why you need to develop your body before cultivating?"
At the question of his Master, Ji Yichen pretended to stroke his invisible beard and then happily answered.
"To become... To become a hero!"
"Huh?"
"Hero! The bald hero that defeats his opponent in just one kick!"
Bald hero? One kick? What is this all about?
Is Ji Yichen talking about the cartoons he was watching on his tablet?
"No no, this isn't about becoming a hero Ji Yichen... You are exercising because you need to prepare your body before you start your journey as a cultivator."
The explanation of his Master was disappointing. It seems like he wasn't going to become a hero by exercising.
Looking at the disappointed face of Ji Yichen, Du Zhuhui knew that he needed to do something in order to have his Disciple interested in cultivation. Without interest, his disciple wouldn't be able to completely focus on cultivation.
"Ji Yichen, cultivators are more powerful than any hero. You can have a long lifespan, the power to destroy a mountain... With the strength that you possess, you can even go... Save people!"
As soon as Du Zhuhui dropped the last two words, Ji Yichen was suddenly interested.
"Saving people! I will be the first Cultivator Hero!"
Well, another reason why cultivators exist is to fight against evil, so Ji Yichen isn't exactly wrong in his Cultivation direction...right?
Finishing all the last set of exercises for Ji Yichen, the Master and Disciple duo returned to their house.
After all, Ji Yichen was still in the Mortal Realm. He still needed to eat and rest, like any other ordinary people.
Arriving back in their house, the first thing that Ji Yichen did was to take his tablet and started playing games.
Now that Ji Yichen finished all the exercise for the day and a bit of lesson, Du Zhuhui just let him play with his tablet.

Near the Alcarel Forbidden Mountains, a handsome mature looking man was kneeling in front of it while coughing out blood on the ground.
"F*ck, another failure..."
Now that he was at the Void Shattering Realm, Nie Weiheng tried to go to the other part of the Forbidden Mountains. However, it was a failure once again.
"Senior Brother, don't push yourself too much..."
"How can I do that? That damn Master, he made me cultivate a cultivation skill that it is impossible here. I can't even defeat someone in the same realm as me!"
Yuan Shuwei understood the frustration that Nie Weiheng was experiencing, but it was too unbearable for her to look at her beloved going through a tough situation.
"Why don't you talk to the Master? I think he can help you?"
"That damn old man is too weak! He can't even resist a punch from me, how did he even made it safe from the Alcarel Forbidden Mountains?"
Yuan Shuwei but her lips and whispered.
"Isn't Master from the other side of the Alcarel Forbidden Mountains?"
She carefully came beside Nie Weiheng and tried to convince.
"Why don't we go back? Master loves us all disciple... He can forgive you for what you did a few years ago..."
Nie Weiheng didn't talk with Yuan Shuwei anymore and just closed his eyes in order to recover.
