The Selecting ground is a clearing, devoid of grass in the middle, with wood that gave a shine off. A statue was in the middle, and it held the image of a wizened Woods God, a long white beard, pointed white eyebrows, a bald head like a monk, and caring green eyes, lovingly looking at a Robin held in its left hand. This was the protector God of the Village, Narzaak.

In front of the statue was an altar, with children in front of it, ranging from 3 months of age, to 2 years of age. However, there was an oddity. A five-year-old sitting with them. It was a boy wearing a green and red motif tunic, wearing dark brown leather pants, and soft fur shoes. His hair was long, a light brown-blonde, and tied up like a ponytail. His blue green eyes shifted from side to side, waiting.

Not too long afterwards, the Clan Leader came walking out, smiling happily. His voice boomed out "Hello, members of the Xiu Clan, the Xiu clan Branch family, and the Villagers of our fine Village Normanstrod. It is, once again, the time for the Cultivation ceremony, where our young ones shall receive a Cultivation Technique. "taking a short breath, he continued, "Another piece of good news is that Xiu Mei has finally reached age five and is eligible for the ceremony. He has been unable to receive one because his Dantian, or his Qi Sea, as some of you know it, seemed to have been slightly damaged so we wanted it to be healthy."

He nodded, waiting as the villagers and clansmen nodded in agreement. "Aright, Let's get this over with!" He said, smiling widely and laughing. "Koi Xiang, come forward." As he said this, a girl of two years stood up, slowly walking towards Clan Leader Molark. "Little Xiang here had her Dantian partially hurt, which is why its taken so long for her. She is receiving the technique Lion Grabs the Sun. It is her heritage technique that allows her to slowly make Dantian fire, and form them into whips, and control their temperature at will, without having to worry about her body overheating, as she will gain an immunity to fire while making the Dantian fire. Once the course of that technique is completed, she can receive the follow up technique, Lion Cools the Sun, which allows her to use a Dantian ice version of Lion Grabs the Sun. Once that is complete, she may begin mixing and experimenting on her own. "

As this was said, Mei looked at the girl. She was a red headed child with freckles on her face, small, angular brown eyes, wearing a small light blue Smock-frock, with dark black leather boots. She wasn't extraordinary, but her family is the only ones in the village with red hair. After she received a jade gem and put her Qi into it to learn the technique, she sat back down, and the rest began.
