Lazy Immortal

Ch 5 Surprised

Lan Long eagerly walked to his parent's chambers and stood in front of the door.

"Come in." His Father's voice boomed. Tian Long was angry as he knew that his son didn't touch the books the entire month. He was extremely disappointed in Lan Long. His rage grew even more as he felt that Lan Long was behaving too casually. "Have you memorized the manuals?" Tian Long asked questioned with a calm tone but his gaze was piercing.

"Yes." Lan Long replied without hesitation.

"Lan Long, if you to answer any of the questions, you will then face the capital punishment of the clan." Tian Long warned Lan Long. Su Ren frowned immediately and looked at Tian Long's face. She sighed and kept her calm.

"Ok father." Lan Long said with the face confident voice.

"Ok. What is the natural phenomenon that determines the purity of Ki?" Tian Long began to ask questions one by one. At a younger age Tian Long himself had answered 100 questions, which is why he decided that the questionnaire needed to be 100 long.

"The density and harmony." Lan Long answered immediately. Tian long raised an eyebrow and immediately asked another question to which the reply was accurate and instant. After about 70 questions, he and his wife had lost their composure. They were standing with beaming smiles and a proud look in their eyes. After the hundredth question, Tian Long sat on his with an thump shocked out of his wits while Su Ren was hugging Lan Long with tears in her eyes.

"What happened?" Lan Long was confused. The test was mediocre at best which is why he didn't see the reason why his parents were hysterical.

"Nothing." Tian Long immediately replied. He was expecting to punish his son, he was at a loss.

"Father, guide me on how to cultivate." Lan Long as from his mother's embrace. He was quite embarrassed as his mother tried to hug to death.

"Ahem. Hmmmm. Yes. But first you need to know the aspects and power and levels in cultivation system." Tian had stood up again and began to explain. "The Ki gathering realm is the first and the weakest. At this stage, a cultivator can simply Ki inside their bodies. Next is the Ki condensing realm. Here, the gather Ki condenses resembles water. After that comes, the Ki Sea realm. At this stage the cultivator forms a sea of Ki in his dantian. When a cultivator reaches the peak of this realm, a tribulation of fire descends and burns the cultivator. If at some point the cultivator had failed an aspect of his Cultivation, he will be burned to death and his soul will be destroyed. If at some point the cultivator escapes the tribulation, he will lose his primary Body and will need to form another body and continue as a Tribulation student. If he succeeds his tribulation, Heavenly fire will burn out his impurities and gather heavenly energy and cultivator's energy to form a Ki pellet inside the dantian." Tian Long stopped at this point and gazed at his sons face only to find a pair of twinkling eyes gazing at him.

"Cultivation requires time and patience. The talent and opportunities help but they can be discovered and not sought after. The greatest virtue of a cultivator is hard work. The harder you work, the greater the rewards." Tian Long finally saw his sons face turn gloomy as he said the word 'hard work'. 'This lazy piece of shit, he-he I will beat that ignorance out of him.' Tian Long laughed in his mind.

The mention of hard work had deterred Lan Long greatly but his curiosity spurred him onwards.

"Father, when can I begin to cultivate?" Lan Long asked.

"First, you need choose a method of cultivation. Then, we can begin." Tian Long said as he waved his hand, soon many books started to float in the air. There were hundreds of these books, then he waved another time and twelve more books appeared. "These 12 manuals are the best manual of our clan while all these other manuals are low level manuals or incomplete manuals. Choose wisely." He said as he disappeared along with his mother.
