The Ancestor
When Jin came out of the crack in the wall he saw a big room with several small rooms connecting to the room in front of his eyes. The room was almost empty. He saw a big table and some chairs and what looked like a study in one of the smaller rooms, one of the rooms even had a bed. The walls, the table, the chairs, and the bed, all of it were carved from green and white jade. It was beautiful and simple but still gave off the feeling that some nobility lived there.
After some time pondering, Jin came to the conclusion that nobody had been there or entered the room or many years. If it was late or early Jin did not know the only thing he knew was he was tired and needed to sleep. He would get a more thorough understanding of everything after some sleep.
When Jin woke up he decided to look around, he looked through the last of the rooms and discovered a bath and some kind of treasure room with medicine and cultivating pills, gold, silver and even some weapons, he even found a big chunk of some black ore, thinking it was the same ore that his katana was made out of.
Jin put the big chunk of black ore, the money, and the pills in his spatial ring. He looked over the weapons to see if it was something he could use before all the weapons also found themselves in his spatial ring.
After raiding the treasure room, Jin entered the study and saw an empty shelf, but next to the shelf a skeleton laying in a fetal position, on the skeletons right middle finger a shining silver ring. Spatial ring, this must be the owner of this place or at least the last one to be here. I wonder whats in the ring.
Jin looked through the spatial ring and found many spell books and some kind of pill, he did not know what the pill was for. The spell books were almost all for the earth sage stage and some was even for the heaven stage. Inside the ring, it was also some warrior cultivating techniques, but one book caught Jins eye it was a book with the name Yi Wei Bo.
Jin took out the book and started reading.
Jin flipped through the pages of this book and it mostly described different training methods for different spells of all the elements, except the darkness element.
It also described training and cultivating methods for warriors, and the training regime made for his brother Yiu Juan. It also explained that only the First born child held the right to the emperors last name. The reason, so not to be challenged by any of the other children of the emperor. Thats why his brother did not carry the same last name as Yi Wei Bo.
On the last page of the book, Jin found something interesting written by Yi Wei Bo and the last lines were written in blood.
My name is Yi Wei Bo, I am the first born to emperor Yi Huang Ju-Long. I was born With an ordinary body, but great apptitude for magic. As i grew up i knew nothing of the plotting behind my back, but as long as my father, the emperor was alive nobody dared do anything in the open. I survived many assasination attempts, but we could never figure out who was behind them. As i grew older i knew this was all because of my ordinary body, not having a dantian, and to never become a warrior. My own family, the people, and the court all wanted a warrior to be the emperor, not a mage, but nobody voiced their opinion in the open. I started searching everywhere for a method to change my destiny, knowing it was a fools dream, but the alternative was something I could not accept. For ten years my one and only friend from childhood Fang Jing-wei was looking into every rumor, legend, and story. He came across a forbidden pill said to create a dantian in humans and ordinarys alike. The forbidden pill was said to kill the ones with weak wills and spirits, and humans had 1:10000 chance to survive and mages had 1:1000 chance. with a strong will and spirit, and my affinity for three elements, I stood a better chance then most. Knowing the fact that someone wanted me dead the forbidden pill was my safest route. I built this place where i could safely ingest the pill and emerge a warrior. The day i was going underground to change my destiny approached, but the emperor died. After the emperors funeral, during the mourning period, my own brother Yiu Juan, born from one of my fathers concubines, killed the empress and tried to kill me. I managed to send my family safely away with the help of Jing-wei, but I was gravely injured in the process. I managed to escape to my underground quarters. I write this in hope of my descendants finding out the truth about the despicable and traitorous Yiu Juan the usurper of my throne. You who finds this book and last dwelling place I Yi Wei Bo leave you everything I Yi Wei Bo own, and hope you will right the wrong fallen on the Yi family.

The page was signed by Yi Wei Bo and stamped with the Imperial seal of the Yi clan in blood.
Jin was thinking about what he read, and the implications of it all. This means the Yi clan is the true Imperial family, and the Yiu clan is not. Do Yiu clan not know, or do they, either way I need some other opinions on this matter. First I need to find the Imperial seal of the Yi clan, it was not in the spatial ring, maybe beside the body of Yi Wei Bo.
Jin started searching around the body of Yi Wei Bo and found the Imperial seal, he put the seal in his own spatial ring. Next Jin took out the forbidden pill and looked it over for around ten minutes while thinking, before he put it back inside his own spatial ring.
This little pill will solve my problem of being ordinary, but the risks involved are to great 1:1000 will succsesfully make a dantian the rest will die. Hmm I believe I got the strongest spirit and thats only because I have been reincarnated, and I am also a dual elementist, but is it enough. Are I willing to risk it on that alone, i dont know.
After one hour walking around restless, Jin took out the pill again, looked at it. With great risk comes great reward. Jin thought
