*Long Tingfeng POV*

"Teacher, it is your fault!"

"Give me your refining technique when you still want to hold the title as my teacher."

"Do you really think a genius like me should call something like you who only has one root a teacher? "

"Still holding on to that technique and scripture, trash?."

That was the last word from someone I.

Long Tingfeng believed of as my disciple before trying to rip apart my soul.

I was only able to escape by imprinting my true soul into ocean heart jade and escape using spatial escape.

At that moment, I only felt a disappointment both for myself and my disciple.

This may be a punishment for forgetting my origin and the road I took to reach this stage. But at least I got millennia to contemplate my mistake.

Maybe this cursed heaven felt pity, or by fate, one day I was awoken by this mortal boy in this new and unknown world.

This time I decided to fix my mistake.

"Hey, master ?"

"Oh, what ?"

"Do I really need to use this snot-like thing?"

Snot-like thing?

"Kiddo, don't you know what is the foundation elixir?"

In the past, anyone was willing to lick my feet just to get one drop of it, but now my new disciple calls my creation a booger ?!.

This is why mortals are.

No, no, no.

Remember what happened to what so-called genius from an honorable family.

"Well, it is a special concoction made by refining wood element core and separating only best medical properties from ingredients. It will help to improve your weak body constitution and nourish your root."

I need the kid to awaken his spiritual roots and strengthen his blood energy.

It is almost a miracle that this kid was able to form a proper dantian in this world filled with such chaotic energy.

"Okay, okay, I just need to put this thing in bathe I prepared and train in it until its glow disappears, right."

It is not a booger, alright ?!

This kid...

Does he even know respect for his teacher?

But despite showing his disgust kid, he followed my instruction and begun to train inside the elixir bath.

At least he is an honest one. Maybe this is his real character.

Good, his body is absorbing very quickly. This is an advantage of a body that hasn't even tasted a single drop of the spiritual plant.

The elixir should at least hold for a month before losing its all properties.

For now, I should not disturb the kid's training.

I left his room and saw others mortals who are with him is in a deep sleep.

At first, I thought he is just a special one, but after checking the group he works with, his sister, and surrounding, I understood something.

The kid and others are the original habitats of this world. From these chaotic elements in seeped into everywhere, it is near impossible to cultivate unless one uses treasure that filters qi from surroundings.

It was a obvious the pyramid kid used to create his dantian is something not from this world.

It is something made to work on this world in another place. It seems like a deprived version of cleaning bead used by the Prime Lotus Sect.

Also, there are people besides cultivators that use the other part of energy in the air.

There are many secrets this world has.

But a part of this is connected to this large contraption that calls itself an HM.

To think there are people who are able to create a life under this devilish heaven's eyes.

In the past, many saints and emperors delved into the art of creating life despite clearly knowing it is taboo. But that didn't stop them, as all of us knew if they were able to succeed, it would be an ultimate accomplishment deserving of being their name carved on the heaven itself.

Sadly all of them ended up being reduced to dust without leaving a speck of their soul or finding.

But right, now I am observing the dream that every emperor, saint wished to accomplish in millennia.

And that dream is archived by people who are no different than mortals who we used to look down on like ants.

As usual, I moved around its fascinating body to try to understand at least a speck of the art used to create this.

If I knew this kind of thing happens, I should at least learn basic smiting from those mad tinkerers from fire blood mountain.

At least I understood it feeds on those yellow and dark ores then using mysterious ways to transform light into different things.

Be these unique weapons that belch fire and throw darts or new organs like things and this armor.

Like those copse puppets, it doesn't feel tired or exhausted. But unlike those dolls made of flesh, this one grows both in strength and intelligence.

It possesses nothing that is related to the life we know. It doesn't have flesh, bone, dantian, root, or even blood energy.

How such a thing exists and how it was created or works.

Maybe on my way towards fixing my mistake, I would explore the road that hasn't been explored by any cultivator as well.

......

.....

....

...

OH!

The night already passed?

Time always passes like an arrow when one is immersed.

Well, time to check how is the kid doing.

"Do it! Do it! Do it!"

"You can do it, Boss!"

"HOOO! 26,27,28,29,30,31!"

"Brother do your best!"

"FUHN! ,FUHN! ,FUHN! ,FUHN! ,FUHN! "

...Why is he having a push-up contest with someone?

"You brat! .... Do you really think that is it!?"

"HOOOOOH!40,41,42,43,44!"

"WHOA! Boss is doing with his single hand!"

"UNCLE YOU ARE AMAZING!"

Grown man competing with child...

HEY! Kiddo you! Why?

"FUHN! FUHN! FUHN! "

"HOLY SHIT! KID DOING WITH ONE-HANDED FINGERTIP!"

"Brother look even awesome!"

Cultivator competing with a mortal for the compliment of his sister...

"Boss, why are you staring at your finger?"

Mortal.

Stop that, wherever you thinking is something not possible for you.

Also.

'Kiddo, aren't you ashamed competing with the mortal and old one at that ?'

'.....'

Really?

"Boss, are you serious?"

"Heh, let me show you why they used to call me the one inch!"

"They never called you that boss"

"Heh, men's pride is not something break that easily."

Is he an idiot?

"Now then.."

"OOOOONE!"

*Crack!*

His finger broke.

“GYAAA!"

No matter how you look at it, that was just unreasonable.

"I won!"

As for you kiddo stop smiling ear to ear like you won on something.

I really need to teach my disciple the proper way of cultivator conduct oneself.
