THE CHRONICLES OF WU XING

Xing woke up early the next day, cleaned himself up and headed outside the house as his master had informed. As he reached the courtyard he say his master was sleeping on a chair. As soon as he was about to call her, she moved her finger and a tub filled with water was seen. Then she stood up and opened a bottle from which one drop of red coloured liquid dropped in the tube which released an aroma that would even make anyone stupefy. She than asked Xing to strip. Hearing such a request Xing started removing all the clothes. Looking at the innocent 5year old she chuckled and said to atleast wear his u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r. After that sit cross-legged inside the tub. As Xing sat inside tub in just a second he felt like thousands of needles pricking at once but he endured for about 10 seconds and jumped outside the tub. Seeing the attitude Luo got angry and scolded,`` Is this the attitude you have and you want to be a strong person. Do you really think you can be the strongest. You want to win over other with this puny of an attitude." Xing looked depressed but went inside the tub again. The pain he endured was unimaginable but he could not even then be inside the tub for more than 5 minutes. Xing looked over his master and saw dissatisfaction and became sad. But suddenly he heard her say to run till the bottom of the mountain and back without stopping, she was stern while teaching him. He started running but even before starting to climb he was out of strength and stopped to take a breath and suddenly he was back on the mountain and heard his master shout again. Even without thinking he started running again. He repeated the process many times but did not succeed even once. Then she made him do various exercise which continued upto 9 o clock when he was told to wash himself and get ready. As soon as he entered the room he saw a table full of delicacies spread which would make mouths of even Kings water. Xing had never seen such extravagant food in his life. He sat on a chair and started gulping the food. As he toot a bite, a aroma penetrated the air. It was food that would make anyone drool. She explained, `` This is special type of food which nourishes your body as well as your core. In the time you stay on the peak you will be helped by me to make your foundation stable so that you do not suffer any backlash from cultivation in future. During the next five years you will do two things. First is making a strong foundation and second is learning about all the elements.

``Good now lets go back to your exercises. You will now learn posture control." For the next three hours he was standing bending in weird postures and different weights were kept on various parts of his body. He fell from time to time but the exercise did not stop. Then they had lunch after that he was asked to clean as they would go towards the registration department to complete his registration in the sect. As they were about to leave Luo gave Xing a grey coloured shirt which looked bigger than his size. But after curiously grazing his master for few seconds he wore it and suddenly the size decreased that it fit him properly. It was so perfect that no one would even know that he wore something inside his robe if they did not know about it. This will increase your defence capabilities just for now. After saying that she lightly touched it and suddenly Xing felt the weightless shirt till now was heavy as hell. He was about to ask her but she suddenly said follow me. Unlike last time they walked at a normal speed while enjoying the view of the sect. Xing for the first time saw a clan. Roads filled with students walking in groups. There were some boards here and there where there would be a group of students. Each one had their arrogance. After a while they reached a building. It was a three storey building mushroom shaped which stood out because it was the only building which was coloured red. As they were entering he say a board saying Dept. Of Admission. Not many students where present there. The both went straight to the third floor and knocked the door and soon a voice was heard, Come in. As he entered Xing saw a small room filled with books and papers everywhere and a 25 year old man sitting shifting through pages. But as soon as he notice both of them, he stood up, `` Greetings elder, How may I help you." After that remembering something, `` you may have come with your disciple to collect his medallion and clan robes. I will have them ready in a minute and sorry elder for the mess in here." Saying this he took a small disk like object and murmured something into it. All this time his master just had a smile on his face. Soon another man entered the room and gave few set of clothes and a round bronze medallion with XIA written on one side. The elder spoke, just send some of your Qi and you may activate your medallion. Xing looked towards Luo, after she nodded he saw his name appeared in his mind. Below it was written Disciple of Elder Luo, External disciple Ranking 4236, Contribution points 10. He was some what dumb folded and had many question but taught about asking them afterwards. After that they exited the building. As the were about to leave back Zing asked, `` Master what was the red drop you used today and I also want to know about the device elder used?" Luo answered, `` Do you know anything about Alchemy and Inscription?" Xing nodded to answer no. She than explained, Alchemy is study to make medicines which can be used to make you stronger as well as can help you heal wounds to heal. And inscriptions are things on which many commands are written and when you supply Qi to it will function to a specific task. Are you interested in any of the fields. Xing nodded and said both. Then we should head towards the library and get you some introductory books for you to read. Soon they changed the direction and arrived at a one storey building. The building looked small and ancient as if it was the first thing that was made around here. But as soon as they entered he something that he could not imagine. The inside was hundred times bigger, there were various floors and staircases leading them. Before him were countless bookshelves filled with books students reading some while some searching for some in particular. Suddenly he heard a lady coming towards them and saying ,`` Long time Sister Luo, what brings you this library of mine." Xing suddenly bowed saying, `` Greetings elder, I am Xing, Disciple of Lady Luo." Hearing this she came near him and patted his head saying `` Nice sister you sue have accepted a great disciple." Xing was happy to here her comment and asked her, `` Elder I was interested in Alchemy as well as Inscriptions so can you please help me with some introductory books which may help me." She nodded and looked towards Luo. They both had a chat after while se left and cane with two books which she handed over to Xing saying`` This will help you through your basics. They left soon the reached to their peak. Xing went to his room and started reading. It was almost evening so he read for a couple of hours and slept as ge was tired wearing the heavy armor the whole day.
