"Now Ayaka, just like in our ordinary world we have different types of power/cultivation techniques and each of the authors have different take on powers and you are aware of it right?"
"Yes sir, and perhaps did you guys make a technique?"
"Yes, you are correct, and we make 3 cultivation techniques which is pretty good because even if you learn different cultivation and martial arts you will not experience qi deviation but of course you should experience how qi deviation works."
"Haha.. but why???"
"Just how teachers pass their trauma to their students, err. Anyway your Grandpa/Master Bing will be teaching you in 3 cultivation and me and Herbert will assist. Sir Bing, you may take the rest."
"Thank you, so now Ayaka I will introduce you to our first cultivation which is the Formless, qi less, restore cultivation. This design to make your qi undetected and restore hence its name. This will also be your final trump card and it contains different types of magic spells to counter skills of your opponent such as copy skills, qi/mana poison, anti trigger and many more.
"But you guys have so many counters?"
"Uhm.. you know we don't like to taste defeat.."
"Oooh..."
"A-Anyway, even though this cultivation is strong there is a catch to this. It can only activate if you don't have ki in your body. So if you get one shot before it activates, well you are done. So try not to get one shot and also only qi will be restored and not your mana."
"How about the qi less?"
"Oh the qi less, yes, this one is useful if the martial arts you learn from others require qi so basically this one bypasses that requirement. This also fools your opponent in certain events. Any question Ayaka?"
"Non master!"
"Okay, we will proceed to the simulation ground on the murim side to prepare you."

"Okay we are here at last, this location is good for cultivating one ki. The river, the land, the trees, and air are all good so when you cultivate in the real world try to find a place that has this quality. Of course if you are living in the cities these qualities are hard to find so try to find a location that is comfortable to you."
"Ok master! I will try to remember what you said."
"Now Ayaka, just like what we did when we incorporated the mana and ki, try to circulate your qi in your dantian just like in this video."
"Woah! woah! you have videos?!"
"Yes, and Tom suggests this so even me suprise that this kind of method of learning is available in your world!"
"Now sit and begin your training."
"Wuu...[So this is the qi in my body. When this energy came to my body it had a hot sensation throughout my body but now it is cold just like a wind when it is hitting my face. Now I am circulating my ki to my dantian, if my masters don't guide me how to circulate my ki it will takes time but now it is easy.]"
[Just like that Ayaka, keep on filling the dantian of your qi as much as possible.]

AFTER 5 HOURS
"Wuu..."
"How do you feel now?"
"I feel tired after gathering qi even though it feels like it is not even half."
"That is normal when gathering your ki, well in my world it is easy for the geniuses or royal blood to gather their ki unlike normal citizens. So don't feel defeated, you know this is only a simulation so your effort of gathering ki will be banished."
"Oooh.. I nearly forgot that this is only a simulation haha.."
"That is also okay Ayaka. Even though you work hard for nothing at least your mind and body has been conditioning little by little like it is normal. I think the effect of healing has been cast right now."
"Woah! I don't feel tired now."
"Yep, everything is normal as of now. You also passed the first requirement of Formless, qi less, and restore cultivation.
"Wooooooo Yes!"
After I finished we went to the real world and told me that after what I learned in simulation I should apply here in the real world and they advised me to look for a place that has a similar atmosphere on the murim side. After that I roam in the forest until I see a giant boulder.
"I think it is great to train here but not to practice gathering qi here. Hmm.. I should roam again. I think I can find one but I will leave a mark here."
After a while I found a Lake.
"This one has nice air and scenery. I think this one is good but I'm still not satisfied.. Might as well leave another mark."
I travel more until I see a cave. I was hesitating at first if I would go because I don't know what was inside of it but eventually convinced myself to go because the three will not make me go in a dangerous place. It was cold when I entered and I forgot that I don't have any source of light and right now I am leaning on the wall of the cave and slowly walking and it took me a while before I saw a light. It gave me hope to continue to walk and upon arriving I saw how beautiful it was!
"Uwaaaa! So shiny and pretty! All these crystals illuminate the area. I feel relaxed here and my guts telling me this is the one to train my qi, well just like other novels, manga, and other works. Hmm.. I just realized why caves are one of the training grounds of those protagonists because no one will disturb you and it is too secluded. I should train here asap."
After I found a spot in this crystal area I began to gather my ki and I was shocked because it feels like I just synchronized my body to this place!
It feels like many hours have passed and it seems the crystals were not shining brighter when I landed here. Perhaps these crystals are connected to the ground? I get up and start to go and next time I should ask Uncle Tom if he has some items that can resemble a flashlight. Upon exiting I see the sunset which can indicate that I only have about an hour to go to the house so I just run before it gets dark.
"Welcome back Ayaka, did you find a place to train your ki?"
"Ah yes Grandpa Herbert, I just found a place but it is too far so I just run as fast before the sun settles. By the way Why do you chopping some wood?"
" Well it is exercise for me and I restock our firewood."
"Oh I see and about the two Grandpa Bing and Uncle Tom, where are they?"
"I think Tom is planning on what food he will cook and Bing is organizing your room."
"Ahh.. By the way Grandpa can I help you in your wood chopping if it's ok with you?"
"Nah it's ok but thank you for your kind gesture and I think you are tired from running here? So you should rest for now and you can accompany me here if you like."
"Ok grandpa, oh I have a question why the forest is quiet and I don't see animals?"
"Well in this forest it has a diversity of animals. It is just that we conquer this part of the forest and only birds and fishes are animals you can see here.
"So meaning they're other territories?"
"Yes and also you will see some warning signs if you are close to the boundary and it will alert us so don't wander to the edge of our territory. Also we get our spices and other ingredients in other territories."
"Oooooh! I see that it has other parts of the forest."
"And also you will be tasked to defeat some enemies and stay in different territories or some mission like gathering of medicinal plants or name some trees. Part of your training."
"oooh..."
"Don't worry you will go to that after you can defend yourself. Like learning the 1st half of the 2nd cultivation"
"A-ah I see hehe.."
"Uhm.. anyway just focus on the present because it is not time to worry about the future, after all we are not sure what the future holds. Trust me it can save you time worrying about other things."
"Ok grandpa, I will try to remember what you said."
After Grandpa Herbert finish his work we go where Grandpa Bing and Uncle Tom waiting. Upon arriving we see them playing after that Grandpa Herbert substitute Uncle Tom because he will start to cook now and for me I just watch the two playing. 2 hours after that we start to eat and the meal is delicious and I think my palate will have high standard from now. After we finish eating Grandpa Bing escort me to my new room and arriving at the place it is like a small cabin and Grandpa Bing left after he finish escorting me. Entering the cabin my jaw could not believe it because of how spacious my cabin! All the items are complete just like a modern house except internet but still this place is luxurious how those 3 to this? Then I go to my bed and lay and I realized that it is only one day when I transfer to this world.. Many questions coming up in my head but my eyes are heavy and I decide to get some sleep.
