6. Progress and Green Speck

Luke’s first lesson of his class continued for the next two weeks and during this time his interaction with his Teacher Sharon were initially awkward but slowly it progressed now Sharon used to talk with him freely but still her head was looking down. He sighed himself “Old habits die hard”.

But he learnt many things from Sharon about herbs. She had theorized that herbs have actual feelings like humans and respond to human interaction At first Luke found it hard to believe it but after trying to trim and water and maintain the herbs in the herbal garden, he came to understand the point in which his teacher had theorized with care the herbs grew beautifully and yielded great results

Luke after his classes at Herb Shop ran back to his villa and finished his rich diet and ran back to his room. He usually avoids his family at the table, it can be said same to his family as they try to avoid his interaction.

Sometimes he used to blame his family for this partial treatment but he would console himself saying “Power means everything without power your nothing” , thus he used this as to rouse himself to be determined in his goal to succeed.

In his room he had started his meditation training as mentioned in the book. His first attempt to meditate was unsuccessful as his minds was running haywire with many thoughts. His second attempt went awkward in a sense, he fell asleep trying to enter the meditative state. His third attempt he dozed off till next day morning

Luke sighed himself as he woke up early in the morning and finished his regular limit break training. He saw his body transform he felt power overflowing but there was no one to guide him, as his warrior training instructor was earth level warrior and he had never seen any transformation such as Luke’s body as he felt there is no Ki usage in Luke’s body he didn’t care much about it, if he had known Luke was absorbing natural energy would have been astounded and shocked to death.

Even Luke himself was aware about this process occurring. Luke as usual continued his routine morning training later till noon in library and from noon he spent his time in learning herbology. He was now thought of identifying various herbs based on its uses but Luke surprised Teacher Sharon with his knowledge of various herbs. Luke earlier had spent most of his time in library gathering various information regarding herbs for his plans. Sharon was astonished at the knowledge of herbs by Luke.

She was happy to have such a student and to teach him.

Luke was now learning how to extract herbs from Sharon. He was interested in the various techniques that Sharon had taught him in extraction herbs for example some herbs should be extracted by hands alone, while some should be extracted without any touch to hands because the heat in hand would cause to wilt, Luke was slack jawed when he learnt various methods of extraction and different herbs.

He was amazed to learn some herbs were poisonous in nature and cannot be touched by hands and only to mixed with other herbs to attain beneficial properties of potions. He also learnt that various climates influence different different herbs.

This lessons continued for another three weeks and Sharon was surprised at the rate of knowledge absorbed by Luke of her teachings. He was like a sponge absorbing water he absorbed all her teachings.

Luke always diligent and sharp minded in learning the uses and properties of various herbs

Luke at night tried practicing the meditation techniques but because he cant sense Ki or Mana always his meditation ends up failure, he couldn’t enter the transcendent state of meditation. He thought to himself “If I would have succeeded so soon then I would have been a genius because I am not a genius, I have to keep on trying still I succeed. This is always been his driving force.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

His daily life continued as a cycle with Limit break training and rest and rich food fruits and meats and library for knowledge and classes for herbology and night time for mediation practice. Slowly but with a steady pace his body muscles and tissues had started observing natural energy transforming them.

Today his herbology class included in Essence extraction from herbs. Essence from herbs is the extraction of either sap or juice from the leaves or roots or stems of the herbs and sometimes flowers of the herbs were used as well.

He was taught how to cut the stem and root without damaging the parts that were needed to extract the essence and he was taught how to grind the herb, because the skill of grinding the herb differs from the casual grinding. It should be gentle as a flower and light and minimum pressure to be applied to the herb to extract the essence. With his theoretical knowledge from books in the library he had extracted the information regarding various herbs played a great role in his learning.

Sharon was very pleased with the progress Luke made in the classes each day. She too taught him sincerely and encouraged him with his ideas and she was amazed at the various ideas that had Luke given to her. Those ideas where mostly from various ancient scrolls in library regarding herbs collected from various civilizations that lived earlier

Luke too had many ingenious ideas of his own which would court disaster if used as they were in thought stage but some of his ideas he tried ended in various disasters for example using different herbs he produced a paste which causes itching through out the body when just touched by any part of the body another one that numbs the body from smelling it.

Luke’s research and training in herbs progressed smoothly for another three weeks . His routine cycle continued as usual and at night his attempts to enter meditative state continued. One thing about Luke was his persistent in achieving his goal. He would always try even when others would give up. Finally

Luke entered the empty transcendent state but he couldn’t feel either Ki or Mana. Still he persisted meditating in it

There was a white mist surrounding Luke’s body but he couldn’t sense it as he was in meditative state and he also didn’t know nothing about natural energy. If anyone had seen they would have been stunned at the scene as Luke was never bothered by anyone he continued his meditation.

Bit by bit a small invisible chamber was created in his chest area. Gradually his repeated practice in meditative training increased the chamber rigidity creating an invisible chamber within his chest region.

And slowly without Luke knowledge what is going on a green speck shaped flame had been created.

But Luke never had any idea about it. What was going on inside himself. His daily routine continued and while his meditation practice he was never able to sense mana or ki but surrounding a white mist always appeared whenever he entered the transcendent meditative state and the green speck started to grow very slowly
