3 months flew by like a gentle breeze....
Although living in the sect is rather difficult he got used to it, except for his physical training he has been doing, he asked his father for guidance but he hadn't have the time so he sent Elder Zhen Ji to train him.
Hei Jin Hua was siting under a cherry blossom tree admiring the group of sect disciples below training.
With his young age he is unable to perform martial arts, this is due to the fact that of his premature qi core that needs a few more months before it is properly matured and ready to cultivate .The age of the core is fully mature varies by person but the average qi masters qi core takes 15 years to fully mature.
Theses few months he has learned a lot from Elder Zhen ji, from many different plants useful to cultivation and creating pills to advanced physical training.
Elder Zhen ji had also showed him his sword technique - Cherry blossom sword style , which is the foundation technique of the sect.
It's very versatile and once it is mastered it can be focused on very specific aspects of the technique such as greater offense or greater defence.
The disciples below were also practicing this technique but it wasn't nearly as refined as the elders.
To fully understand a technique takes time and effort such as Sect leaders Heavenly bow art - Light Arrow , the sect leader had recently gotten this technique and his understanding was rather vague causing the technique to use lots of qi to activate and perform.
Abruptly the disciples below had now began to break formation it was break time, with that Elder Zhen Ji could be seen leaving the sect hall walking towards Hei Jin Hua.
"Greetings Elder Zhen Ji", Hei Jin Hua greeted elder by bowing,"Greetings Young master, i see that you're resting" the elder said with a smile.
"Im just admiring the cherry blossoms", he glanced at the tree, its flowers pink radiating with beauty. Elder Zhen Ji followed Hei Jin Hua's gaze to the Cherry blossoms "In a few months and they will wither away and next year it will flower again but yes, this years flowers are beautiful indeed".
"Come the winter market has just opened, many merchants from the neighboring sects will be here.", Elder Zhen Ji lead the way for the two towards the second division where the market was located.
.....
The sect leader could be seen sitting down in a vast room, it had a tiled floor with many beautifully decorated columns holding the roof up, its vastly decretive and empty state gave it an unexpected dense atmosphere.
This is the cultivation hall and it was reserved to the sect leader at the moment, he had a bunch of materials around him in including the Night Shade Wolf KIng's qi core which he got months ago.
The sect leader is a realm 2, Qi enhancement stage qi master, he has been struggling to advance to realm 3 for years.
The sect leader was already a force to be reckoned with, his realm 2,Qi Enhancement, is known across the continent. Most sect leaders are generally realm 1,Qi Enhancement so the Heavenly Cherry Blossom sect leader, He Jin Ren is known as a powerhouse looking over his own sect and 2 small scale sects as well as Night shade forest which produces spirit grass and night shade wolfs naturally.
With these resources he has grown his sect and himself to a large scale and if he was able to advance he would be able to control the snowy mountains, although the mountains seemed barren there where many benefits for having control of them.
But first he needed to advance.
Previously he hadn't have the resources to advance but now with the Night Shade Wolf King Beast qi core he many now be able to advance.
After obtaining the Wolf King beast core, he had set many missions at the clan commission center for the the hunting retrieval of night shade wolf teeth bones and claws.
He specifically needed night shade wolf remains to complement the beast core in his advancement, with the night shade wolf remains it provides the greatest chance of success.
The many bones and teeth were surrounding the sect leader, in front of him lay large teeth, claws and bones. With these where the Wolf Kings remains which will be absorbed into the qi core last.
He took a deep breath, spirit grass incense entered his lungs calming his mind and soul, he was now beginning the break through to realm three.
In his meditative state he showed great focus, his realm 2 qi aura was released creating a dense atmosphere around the hall.
With the core in front of him, he directed his aura into it.
Although the beast core was realm 3 the sect leader could still easily subdue it is because the beast is dead and it couldn't resist the take over.
With that a beast is not a human, it lacks intelligence to refine its qi core and the beast is usually born with the qi core human qi core, that is why a realm higher qi core is usually use to break through to the next realm.
Which makes it easier to control.
His aura seeped throughout the qi beast core subduing it slowly, his efforts payed off as the beast core began to show cracks.
Slowly these cracks began to pile up and it finally shattered, from its shattered state a ball of light could be seen, this ball of light was barely under the sect leaders control he used all his will power to control it to absorb some of the prepared night shade wolf remains and it began to stabilize.
The materials slowly began to move towards the the light sphere like a magnet and as they approached the sphere the closer they got the faster they went in and in a flash they had been fully absorbed by the light.
It now slowly began changing its color to a slightly purple color signifying that the sect leaders preparations didn't go to waste, with that a giant burden of keeping it stabilized was lifted off the sect leaders shoulders.
A trickle of sweat rolled down his face as he took a deep breath continuing.
Now he added the Night shade wolf kings claws bones and teeth, theses materials made it much more stable further lifting the burden.
This made the light energy to become a deep purple, emitting realm tree aura in the process.The sect leader was ecstatic it truly had enough realm 3 aura for him to progress to the next realm.
With that he prepared himself for the final stage of his realm break through process...
