"Why didn't you tell me since I could have decided to study both internal cultivation alongside the other two" asked Yun wei with a questioning gaze almost throwing a tantrum

"Well u didn't ask" said the old gramps nonchalantly

"Please be serious" said Yun wei

"Oh u can be serious that's surprising, well the reason I didn't tell you about body cultivation, one is because you have been busy training internal cultivation and didn't have much free time,

Two I was waiting for you to reach energy formation stage and to formally pass to you a body tempering arts for you so as to be able to efficiently cultivate external cultivation also known as body tempering

Cause the only way u can temper your body effectively is through the use of body elixirs and a pile of resources as well as continuous training of the body to surpass it limits.

Cultivating the body is an ardious and painful process and it can leave a lot of hidden danger, that's one of the reasons much resources are needed

Though those from larger clan's also cultivate the body, but that is because they have the resources for that and also the medicjne to clear the hidden danger left behind

But as for your Yun clan they don't have the resources, heck they don't know even know about the resources used for body tempering

As for mental cultivation, is not every cultivator that can cultivate mental energy as only a select few can and it can only be known if you have affinity or talent for mental cultivation after breaking into the energy formation stage

That's why I thought it would be best if I told you when you reach energy formation at that time your power will grow exponentially more than you can imagine, especially with a firm cultivation accumulations." Said the old gramps in a lecturing tone

"Are you sure that I am even going to be suited for either body cultivation or mental cultivation, talkless of practicing both" asked Yun wei

"I am not sure, we will see if you have talent for any of them after you break through to the energy formation stage, in a particular sense energy formation stage is your first step into becoming a powerful martial artist" said the old gramps

Yun wei listened to the words of the old man and ponders about it before nodding

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"There is no point thinking about it now, let see how everything plays in the future.

After the brief discussion or conversation with the old gramps, Yun wei finally started moving quickly through the forest at a fast pace

The event that took place before, of him fighting a magical beast at the 11th stage of meridian opening serves as an eye opener and warning to him that these clan hunt might not be as easy as he thought

Yun wei thought to himself that it is a little suspicious, that's because a day before the events starts or takes place, the clan elders also venture into the periphery of the forest

Even though before in the perimeter of the forest there are not beast of high level to the extent that seeing beast of higher level than 10th stage is incredibly rare,

The elders still enters alongside the youths to ensure the safety of the participants during the event

But what Yun wei did not know is that some beast of high level was intentionally released into the forest to test some members of the three clan's

That is one if the reasons the elders were dispatched these time alongside the youths and if a youth is unfortunate to almost encounter a high level beast that he is not capable of handling, the elder releases a hint if his aura to pressurize the beast to the point of fleeing in the opposite direction

These is a joint decision of the three clan's higher up and one of the reasons that the clan's hunt is taking place on the same time

Yun wei continues moving at a fast pace but he didn't even cover a long distance before seeing another beast along his path which immediately displays hostility upon sighting him

These time the magical beast is within the range of beast to be expected, the beast is at the 8th stage of meridian opening

After easily dispatching and killing the magical beast, he continues without pause and maintains the usual speed before encountering another magical beast up ahead which also attacked him on sight

"Old gramps what is with all these magical beast attacking me on sight can't they tell that I have opened more meridians than them" asked Yun wei curiously

"Do they look like they have any sense to you, apart from that they can't tell that you are stronger than them"

"But I can tell how strong they are from a glance, why can't they also do so" retorted Yun wei

"They don't have wisdom so they rely on their primal instincts and desire, you can tell how strong they are by their movements and strength and then you confirm it upon there death, but they can't do the same and that is because you don't have an aura to determine how strong they are"

"What is an aura"

"An aura, how can I put it, yes an aura is like a formless pressure that cultivators usually possess, but you have not really started cultivation yet so you don't possess one,

Sometimes an aura is used to judge how strong one his rather than cultivation stage"

"Old gramps don't you think it's weird as I am being attacked continuously by magical beast"

"It's not weird considering you didn't prepare much for these events, if you did you will know that moving faster or rapidly in the forest without trying to minimise the noise can easily attract magical beast and you don't have an aura to deter them, then u are bound to keep on being entangled"

"Oh that's why, you could have told me earlier, why didn't i think of that" said Yun wei

"Why should I tell you earlier, I wanted you to learn the hard way, as they say experience is the best teacher, if u didn't ask I would have let you suffer more" said the old gramps

Yun wei continued moving but these time in a more vigilant and in a more quiet manner quickly but not as fast as before

Yun wei encountered different beast along the road but they posed minor trouble to him, he also hunted for magical beast alongside the road using these particular time to hone his combat sense and too be able to accurately bring out the power of his cultivation

Yun wei treated the event as a training experience and slowly adapted to the rules of nature and slowly like these the day passed

On the second day, Yun wei was quietly making his way forward having completed the requirements for the clan hunt apart from surviving he has still not slacked in his cultivation and honing his combat sense

"The beast in the periphery are not particular a threat to you again, let's go deeper into the forest and search for the higher ranked magical beast" said the old gramps suddenly
