49 Moxian levels up (1/2)
Chapter 49
Moxian awoke in her old bedroom she grew up. She was a little disoriented at first, until she remembered coming home. She could hear her parents talking downstairs and the kids playing outside, so she knew that they were all safe. Heaving a sigh of relief and allowing her body to relax, Moxian crossed her legs underneath herself and closed her eyes to meditate. Her head still felt full from the information that was imparted by the ancient scroll.
As she focused on the information she was able to sort things out in her mind and make sense of what she had been taught. The scroll was a cultivation technique that her ancient ancestor created himself. It allow the family members to maximize their spiritual output with minimal effort. The more Moxian studied the technique the more she felt like it was a cultivation cheat code. It was just too good to be true.
Now that Moxian was back in China she could feel more yuan qi in the air. Since they were safe here she decided to try out this new cultivation technique out. Moxian grabbed her backpack and took a fruit out. She took a bite and then began circulating her energy according to her ancestors cultivation method. After just a couple circulations it became very easy for her, almost like her body already knew how to do this.
As she was cultivating green light dots started to appear around her. These green light spots came from the plants in the room with her. These light spots slowly began entering Moxian's body. Moxian could feel her body strengthening itself. She felt this was too amazing, her power level was increasing incredibly fast. From what she learned from Nathan cultivating was supposed to be a slow steady process, but she was quickly approaching the next level. Unbeknownst to Moxian the plants in her room began to grow around her forming a green cocoon. Inside the cocoon Moxian's power's were growing by leaps and bounds. Moxian knew nothing of the cocoon, all she knew was that this cultivation technique seemed tailor made for her.
After an hour passed Moxian finally woke up from her enlightened state of cultivation. The green cocoon withdrew from her on its own, as if the plants were responding to her will. Moxian went downstairs, as her parents saw her they came running over to make sure she was ok. After reassuring them that she was, she went outside to check on the kids.
”After you passed out I brought you upstairs to your room. When the kids saw that you were just sleeping, they went out to practice. They started by earnestly cultivating, and then they asked me if I could teach them martial arts. I only know how to do some tai chi, that your mother and I use for exercise every morning. They have been practicing it none stop since. They seem to be possessed with a need to get stronger.” Li Wuchang explained as they went out back.
”Ever since I told them their father's message for us, it has been they goal to be as strong as possible when he returns so that they don't disappoint him. I want to tell them that they don't have to worry, but I'm sure I would be right in doing so. This world will soon be changing, I'm not sure what to expect when it does. I feel we can only prepare for the worst to come.” Moxian said deathly serious, this shocked her parents back to the reality of things.
As Moxian was walking into the backyard all the plants she passed would grow toward her like they were trying to touch her.
”Moxian what has happened to you?” her mother asked her.
”Oh nothing. I just learned ancestors cultivation method, it's really wonderful isn't it.” Moxian was happy because she finally felt she wasn't being completely left behind by Chen Zhen. He would be proud of his entire family when he returned.

Nathan hid himself after he returned to the states. He knew he need to take more responsibility for his actions. Lately he had been relying too heavily on Janet. The last thing he wanted to be was a burden on Janet, let alone the trouble he was bringing down on World COMM.
Nathan managed to track Agent Matthews back to her home. He waited until she was walking into her house and came in behind her. He moved so fast she didn't realize he was there until after the door was shut. It took Nathan clearing his throat to get her attention before she drew her gun and turned around. Nathan looked at nonchalantly as he she sighted down her glock at him.
”Your not going to shoot me so just put the gun down, and we can have a nice little talk.” Nathan said as he looked back at her.
”Are you so sure I won't shoot.” Agent Matthews said cocking the gun.
”You want too many answers to kill me, now put the gun down before you hurt yourself.” Nathan said in a deadpan voice, never losing the bored look on his face.
Agent Matthews could see that Nathan meant her no harm, so she complied and put her weapon away. She walked into her living room and sat down. Nathan followed her, but still checked around the corners before sitting as well.
