Old Wu tried his best to cook the meat brought by Wuxia Zi. He never see this kind of chunk meat before. By the size of the meat the beast must be over ten meters, but it's impossible, simply due to no beast is that big.

Old Wu also given some seasoning for the meat by him. The seasoning smells fantastic. It's very fragrant. All the times he cooked in his life, he never smell something like that before. It looks like salt, however just a glance you can see the purity of it, and it shine.

The young man also make big firebond just by a flick of his finger. Right now Old Wu already convinced this this young man is one of the heroes in the empire.

"Old Wu come sit. Take a bite." Wuxia Zi, ask Old Wu to sit beside him and share the food. So humble, normally a hero of this calibre is very arrogant, especially this strong. "I thank you for the offer." Old Wu doesn't want to reject the offer and offend this young hero.

It looks like the meat really delicious. Old Wu tried the meat, and while Old Wu only took a smile bite the taste is very delicious. It's the best food he ever had. Even if he only give a light seasoning and grilled it simply, it really is the best. The meat melt in his tounge instantly, what a profound experience.

"Old man, what are you doing in the forest? Could you tell me?" He ask Old Wu while munching his meat. Hearing the question Old Wu just smile bitterly. "Young hero, this morning I..." Old Wu tell him what happen to him to morning. From when the madam give him order to find mushrooms, when he left behind by the man that accompany him, and the beast. The young man listen to the story while munching the meat, he gives Old Wu sympatetic look.

"So, what are you gonna do next?" Ask the young man. "I can only hope that young hero would help me back to the city, as I need to warn the madam that the men that with me are bad men." plead Old Wu humbly.

The young man just stares at Old Wu silently for a moment. "Old man, it's better if you don't go back to that house." Said him. Old wu surprise to hear that reply. "But why? I need to serve the houshold. Beside if I don't go back i fear that something might happen with madam and the family." Said Old Wu. "No, old man. That's not what i mean...."

The young man then took a deep breath after finish his meat and said to old Wu, "Hey, do you want to be a martial artist master?". "Eh, sure i want. But i think it's impossible." Said old Wu dejectedly. "I have no talent at all. Young master can look at me. I am over sixty years, however is still stuck in the beginner Qi rank." Old Wu make sad expression. It's not that Old Wu never try to cultivate, but every time he cultivate, there is no result. He just stuck in the same rank since twenty years old, for a cultivation level that so low.

Wuxia Zi just smile to Old Wu. "Don't you worry old man i have my way. You have the right heart to be a cultivator, all i need is to hear your conviction and i can help you."

If the one that said is another person Old Wu wouldn't believe any of it. But the one who said it just now is Wuxia Zi, the young hero infront of him. It gives hope in his heart to be cultivator. A real cultivator, not just lowly rank. Unconciously he shed a tear from his eyes.

Wuxia Zi just smile. "I take that reaction as a yes old man." He then produced a small white ball in his hand and throw it to Old Wu. "Here take it." Old Wu catch the white ball. He examine the ball briefly. It's a white perfectly round ball with a diameter of fifteen centimeter. It radiates some kind of energy. "What is this.... is this a Spirit Stone?" Old Wu wonder. Spirit stone is a special stone that fill with energy of the earth. There are two ways for a human to cultivate, one is by cultivating the energy in the nature, and the other is by cultivating the energy in the spirit stone. The quicker way of the two is the spirit stone. Because the energy in the nature unlimited, but it's too scarce. The energy in the spirit stone however very concentrated. While it's only limited by the stone capacity since a lot of energy concentrated on the stone, you can cultivate much much faster than the usual. However this kind of stone is very expensive, the smallest one, which is as big as thumbnail is sell on the city with the price that can feed a normal household for a year. Old Wu never try to cultivate from the Spirit stone due to the price, moreover he never saw Spirit stone this big before.

"He he, close, but it's not a normal spirit stone. To put it simply it's a special spirit stone that made by a strain of my soul."What... whoa.." Old Wu very surprise with his explanation. This Spirit stone which is so big, and also make by a strain of his savior soul, how can he accept something so valuable.

"This... this something so valuable, I wouldn't dare to accept it." Said Old Wu humbly while try giving the white ball back. Wuxia Zi just smile even wider. "Haha, there's no greed shown up. Good goood good. Hahaha."He said good three time while laughing.

"It's allright, you can keep it." Wuxia Zi reject the Old Wu returning the white ball. "But...""No buts! Just take it." Said the young man again, this time with decisive voice. "If the young hero insist then i would not reject the gift. I humbly accept it." Said Old Wu while bowing his head.

"Good, now old man, try to cultivate the stone, you can do that can you?" ask the young man. "Well, i have never cultivate with Spirit stone before, but i have read before that the basic principle is not very different with normal cultivation."

"I understand." Old Wu then have his right palm in the top of the white ball. He then concentrate and try to retreive the energy from the white ball.

Whooosshhhh

Much to his surprise, the ball sucked instantly into his hand. Old Wu very shocked, even he has never use Spirit stone for himself before, he has seen other people use it. And the Spirit stone usually doesn't work like this. Normally the Spirit stone energy lost over time, but not the stone itself.

"What just happen...." Wuxia Zi then put his hand onto Old Wu's shoulder. "Relax, now is the hardest process. Let me help you circulate your power."

There's suddenly red fire errupt from right Old Wu hand, where he touch the white ball, yet the hand doesn't burn, nor does it feel hot. Strangely, there's odd sensation from the fire. The fire engulf Old Wu with power. A few seconds pass and the flame is now covering his body.

"Hehe, now for the main attraction. Let's see what fire do you have." Said Wuxia Zi, his face full with anticipation.

The fire is now slowly dancing in Old Wu body. Slowly but sure, it start changing color. From fiery red, to blue, to white.

"Ah, as i thought... white it is."

Old Wu body feel strange, he feel like he's been engulfed with power all over. His chest is hot, he feel that there are a lot power concentrating in his body. He clenched both of his fist, trying to control the new power that surge inside him.

"OAGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" He roar, his roar so great that all of the birds in the forest fly all over, much more than when the beast before attack. The ground also slightly rumble and the wind blow violently.

"What the... it's changing again... it can't be..."

As Wuxia Zi mumble, the fire that surround Old Wu body starting to change again. The color still white, however there are more purity in the flame. The flame is now shining and gleaming like a beautiful crystal. This time Old Wu feeling more powerfull sensation in his body. His body also starting to shining brightly like a rising sun.

"OAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As he can't take it anymore, he scream more loudly. As he's scream there's big blast that come out violently into surrounding area, as if the forest have taken meteor falls from heaven.
