64 To the Shenggu Clan (1/2)
As Chen Zhen group trekked toward the Shenggu Clan, Chen Zhen finally had the time get to know Alex and Kim better. They stuck to the forest and avoided the main roads so they didn't attract unwanted attention upon themselves. The first night they stopped to make camp Chen Zhen asked Alex and Kim a lot of questions. He used his personal spatial domain to allow everyone to rest and enjoy a home-cooked by Mei Ling.
”Is this really the first time you're eating food in this world?” Chen Zhen asked Alex and Kim
”Yes surprisingly we were only given water when we were in the slave carriages, but I never really felt hungry are drinking it” Kim explained.
”The same goes for me as well. I would always feel very energized after just a single ladle of water. I could never figure out why” Alex said.
”Have either of you noticed any kind of stinky, sticky substance on you after you drank the water?” Chen Zhen asked.
They both nodded their heads, ”Yes we were wondering what that was, since you're asking us do you know what it is?” Kim questioned
”Yes. Its the impurities in your bodies being removed. this world's energy is very good for our bodies. It helps to purify us and make us healthy and much stronger.” Chen Zhen went on to explain everything that Shenggu Julong told him about this world.
”It's probably a very good thing you were never given any food before now. Most likely your bodies wouldn't have been able to handle the energy overload and you would have exploded. I know because the samething almost happened to me. The way to avoid that from happening is to circulate the energy around your body so it can be absorbed naturally. The benefit of this is that you will naturally become stronger and faster and be able perform amazing feats the more you do it”
Chen Zhen's enthusiasm was contagious. Alex and Kim were quickly caught up in his hype. They had seen how powerful he was when he fought off the ferocious demon beast as they traveled. Especially for someone like Alex who spent his life staying in top shape so he could always protect himself, he very much wanted to be able to do the things he saw Chen Zhen do. While Mei Ling was cooking Chen Zhen used some of the equipment Shenggu Julong left behind to test Alex and Kim's elemental affinity. Shenggu Feng and Lou Tian promised that they would be able to give them cultivation techniques that fit their elements. they had both explored me ruins in they life and tons of cultivation techniques in the process.
Alex volunteered to go first. He had a strong affinity with the earth element with a slightly weaker affinity to fire. Because his affinities strengths were so closely matched Lou Tian had Chen Zhen pass a cultivation techniques call Divine Lava force. It utilized his earth to further strengthen his body while the fire affinity coursed thru his blood giving him explosive movement and attack power. As its name stated it was a Divine Teir cultivation technique that can be cultivated to the Immortal realms. Wars have been fought over cultivation techniques of this caliber.
Kim was nervous at first not knowing what to expect but seeing how quick and easy the process was she was eager to she what her results would be. Her strongest affinity was actually the Light element with a slightly weaker affinity to wood. Since both of her affinity lead her toward being a healer Shenggu Feng didn't have any cultivation techniques in his knowledge base that could help her. Lou Tian did but it wasn't as spectacular as the one Alex received. It was okay for starting out but as an Earth Teir cultivation technique it was very common. Shenggu Feng suggested when they reached is clan maybe there would be a better technique she could learn. Healers were very important to any clan so once one was found they would do all they could to try to rope them in.
Alex and Kim excited sat down to start cultivating, It was tricky to get started but once they got the hang of it they immersed themselves completely in the process. The kids were excited that they knew more then some adults so they offered to help them out, but when they were reminded of the language barrier between they quickly realized there was nothing they could do. the kids who were still very diligent in their cultivation sat down next to Alex and Kim and cultivated as well.
