After a few minutes of walking they reached a strange looking temple with about ten pillars,five in each side,supporting the temple,and also scary statues,not in look but aura.They looked like people who had went through hell and survived the ride.
“Remember!Don’t be disrespectful to him!Also call him ‘Senior’,as he doesn’t like Ancestor or Lord and others titles like that,the only people who can call him brother are the old king of the Kingdom which leads us and the other clans!
Also he sometimes may not listen to you so don’t get angry!”His uncle,Bai Hu Tian started to say stuff to him.Bai Hu Jian tried to listen,but his uncle was throwing stones at him,these words were just way too long for him to remember all.
They opened the gate’s of the Temple,or rather they opened itself,and the two entered the Temple.
It could be described in one word.
Simply,Majestic.
Majestic.
Yes,it was Majestic.
Bai Hu Jian could bet that in all of his lives he had never seen something like this Temple appear in such a weak area.”So You came?”He heard an ancient voice.
The two stopped.His uncle,Bai Hu Tian talked first,”I greet Senior Zong,I am Bai Hu Tian,one of the Young Generation.”He did not mention his cultivation,the Ancestor already knew that long ago.
“I suppose that baby is my new disciple right?”Bai Hu Tian nodded respectfully,”Yes.”He said.”Good.”He had a feeling Bai Hu Zong waved his hand allowing Bai Hu Jian to fly forward,straight towards the wall,and then disappeared,”Leave.”He said and Bai Hu Tian was thrown outside softly.
(-_-)
Bai Hu Jian was silent…
“From now on you can call me Master Zong.”Bai Hu Zong said.Bai Hu Jian nodded.He took a nice look at his new master.
He had the looks of a middle aged man.He had short black hair and brown eyes.He also had a brown short beard.He wore a flaming red robe with long sleeves.The man waved his hand,allowing a bag and several stones to fall on the floor.
“Spirit Stones!”Bai Hu Jian gasped.
Spirit Stones were the currency of this world.They were divided in tiers:Low,Mid,High,Top and Super.
Nobody had Super Tier Spirit Stones,because they contained enough energy for one to directly enter the Soul Core Realm easily.The Spirit Stones on the ground were mid tier.They only were ten though.
One of them was about one hundred Spirit Stones of the low tier,but in the market they sold for 110-120 Spirit Stones of the low tier.”Thank you Master for your reward!”He said and bowed slightly.
“This is your monthly salary,every breakthrough get’s you one more mid spirit stone each month for you.”Bai Hu Jian’s eyes shone.”By the way,that bag is a Storage Bag,you can store stuff inside of it,there is 100 meters of space there.”His master,Bai Hu Zong said and disappeared.
Quickly Bai Hu Jian took the Storage Bag and started to search it.He found two manuals.
“ [Qi] and [One Sword Style]?”He raised an eyebrow.For him these were useless!Who was he?He was the Absolute Sword God!His title was ,”Sword Lunatic” as he was a lunatic towards the weapon called ‘Sword’!

“Hmph,I have my own Sword Technique!Besides for Cultivation Grow Techniques I have the unique ‘Dragon Evolution’.”
Dragon Evolution.It was an absolute technique.It allowed one to breakthrough,and each one required Dragon Marks.
For example 100 marks were needed to enter the Qi Foundation Realm.He sat with his legs crossed and started to medidate.
Before him several balls appeared,they were full of wild energy.They were Beast Cores.It seems his new master had left a few for him,but all of them were Rank 1.Although they would help him,it would be only a bit,it would only help him reach the second stage of the Qi Refiner Realm.
(-_-)
Two months had passed.Young Bai Hu Jian had reached the first layer of the Qi Refiner Realm,and he had used over half of the Beast Cores,he had created ten Dragon Marks.Steam came out of his body,his body was hot.
That was the result of his first breakthrough,and suddenly a bell appeared in the temple and started to shake,creating sounds.Bai Hu Zong appeared with a gust of the wind,”You made a breakthrough?!”He was shocked!
Bai Hu Jian nodded slowly,”Yes,Master,I was fortunately to be able to make such an early breakthrough.”Bai Hu Zong couldn’t contain his excitement,”Maybe now our Bai Hu Clan can compete with the Royal Clan,given a few years we really could!”His excitement couldn’t be hidden anymore!
The Royal Clan had always been a great obstacle to all the clans,they would always clear the weeds before they grew too much.They wouldn’t allow powers to become stronger than them.But if Bai Hu Jian was given time...Screw them!
Although he was a Soul Core Cultivator the Royal Clan had five Soul Core Cultivators!Each of them were stronger than Bai Hu Zong currently.”Here are more Beast Cores and Spirit Stones.”He waved his hand and allowed tens of Beast Cores to appear!
Bai Hu Jian’s foundation was currently very strong,he could handle these Beast Core’s easily!He nodded and bowed slightly,at the same time he cupped his fists,”I thank Master Zong!”He said and sat cross-legged again,as his Master nodded and disappeared with a wave of his hand.
“I should cultivate,but only for two weeks!Then I rest a bit.”Currently Bai Hu Jian had nothing else to do but read and stay.He was too young to be allowed to leave,and he could be caught,which would make trouble for him.
He took out a beast core and started to absorb it.Simply eating a beast core was madness,it was filled with wild and chaotic energy,which would result in certain death or heavy wounds which would result in death anyway.
It wouldn’t benefit him at all,and at the same time it would kill him,It wasn’t worth it.”My foundation,I should make it more solid after consuming these Beast Cores.”He said to himself with a small mutter.
(-_-)
Two weeks later,Bai Hu Jian was halfway to the second stage,but he had used quite a lot of Beast Cores.He was heading towards the Library to read stuff,it helped him relieve his huge boredom.
First of all,there were books which would help him greatly to contain a mental state which helped him cultivate faster.Many didn’t care about that,but he did.
(-_-)
One full year had passed.Meaning Bai Hu Jian was now three years old.At the same time he was now at the fourth layer of the Qi Refiner Realm.If people heard this they would laugh.Not at him,but at the person who said that.
Really?They would say.Let alone this small kingdom,even the entire galaxy had not seen such a talent or rather prodigy in their years of existence!
Bai Hu Jian was a monster.That was what Bai Hu Zong thought.He wasn’t even at the first layer at the age of three let alone two years old...That depressed him.
“Well as long as he helps his and my Bei Hu Clan to grow further,I will endure this depression!”He was resolute!His Bei Hu Clan came before everything else for him!It was his life!
Even if he died it didn’t matter!
He had already decided,clan before everything else!You could say the clan was his life!His soul,his blood and sweat!It was everything for him,the founder of the Bai Hu Clan,Bai Hu Zong!Without it he would only be a simple Soul Core Cultivator!
A Soul Core Cultivator with only his strength,no friend,no family,no brother,no sister,no master,no apprentice in one word he would have almost NOTHING whatsoever,then...why would he live?
However,with Bai Hu Jian,his clan would rise and become a phoenix from ashes!They maybe would reach the grand empires!Reaching the level of an empire clan!That was the dream of any clan of the Kingdom,and of course the Bai Hu Clan was no exception to that!They also wished to reach the heavens in one go!
Enduring just this was not hard!At least his blood and sweat would rise!That was enough for him!
‘Let’s do that’He nodded to himself and gnashed his teeth a small bag appeared in his hand,”There are 255 beast cores here,all of the fifth rank(Heaven Realm),with this Lord Xing will probably agree to him teaching my great great great great nephew!”Shockingly Bai Hu Jian was his descendant!(Well all of them are)
His hands shaked but his eyes were filled with confidence,he vanished in the air…

“My Lord,there is a fellow Daoist named Bai Hu Zong asking to meet you,Lord Xing.”A thin daoist said to a gray haired man.
“Is that so?Allow him to enter,It seems that old fellow isn’t dead yet.”The man smirked,although he had gray hair,he looked around 30 to 40 years old.He waved his hand allowing the gates to open.Allowing Bai Hu Zong to enter.
“Fellow Daoist Xing.”He said respectfully.Although both of their cultivations were at the Soul Core Realm,Xing’s was stronger!”May I,ask why you have come here?”Lord Xing said calmly.Bai Hu Zong shook his head.
“Daoist Xing,I offer you 255 rank five beast cores!”He shouted and threw a bag straight to him.Lord Xing smirked in amusement.
“Hoo,in what condition?”He said with a bit excitement visible in his eyes.”I want you give tips to my 45 great great Nephew(lol)”Lord Xing’s eyes flashed with anger and then the anger disappeared in terms of seconds.
“Fine,but only for three days!”
Although Heaven Core’s had no meaning to them,he could exchange them for weapons,resources and heavenly treasures which me may need in the future.Bai Hu Zong shook his head,”One month at the very least!”He said slowly.
