56 Johns teaches his best technique (1/2)
Back in the Village, John enters Franklin's dream. After a few moment's Franklin realizes that the real John is in his dream once again. John laughs and says, ”You're getting used to me, invading your dreams.”
”I guess,” Franklin replies while rubbing his head.
”I'm here to teach you as I promised!” John exclaims while patting the boy's shoulders.
Franklin looks at the old man blankly for a moment before his eyes light up. ”Does that mean!?” he asks excitedly.
”That's right you entered foundation stage today! I noticed earlier when you were training,” John explains.
”Well, what do I have to do then? Will I learn something like my mom's invisible shield?” Franklin enquires with excitement.
John smirks at the doe-eyed boy. ”No I'm afraid I won't be teaching anything so flashy,” he says while swiping his hand manipulating the dream world. The scenery changes into a mountain region with a stream running through.
John motions for the Franklin to sit on a pair of stone shaped chairs. ”First off, you must learn to control your new strength. This must be done before you can do any techniques,” John explains. He watched the boy already dreaming of calling storms and shattering the earth. He shakes his head, causing his beard to swish back and forth. ”Energy techniques and the like are far beyond you. Even in Provenance stage, such manipulation of the world is quite exhausting and dangerous.”
”What's Provenance stage?” Franklin asks in excitement. His fists are clenched as if he was all ready to jump into this new world.
John sighs it's easy for him to forget how little the average mortal knows about cultivation. ”Provenance stage is the next phase after the foundation stage. It's the moment when your body starts to transform due to the flow of divine energy throughout your body. While the foundation stage is the phase where you remove the filth from the meridian paths in your system, another reason why being younger is better,” John elucidates.
Franklin clenches his fist in anticipation. ”When I reach that stage will I be able to smash boulders with my fist like Elanor?” he questions.
John shakes his head while replying, ” I doubt it. If you focus on muscle building, you might.”
”Don't you gain superpowers when you go up in cultivation?” Franklin asks in confusion.
John puffs out a breath sending his long white beard fluttering. ”Are you a demonic beast?”

Franklin's eyes lose focus as he loses the flow of the conversation. ”No, ” he answers quizzically.
”Then why would you gain strength from changing stages! If you're a human, you won't have lightning tribulation nor will you unlock ancient blood, ” John harrumphs.
”Oh, ” Franklin responds sheepishly.
John points at Franklin's chest and says, ”cultivation stages don't give you power. It's your own strength that defines the stages.” He then pokes the boy in the head a few times while continuing his lecture, ”You didn't gain use of your meridian pathways because you entered the foundation stage, but you entered the stage because you became able to send energy through your meridian passageways.”
