Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 003 - Sky Gifts

Yao Han's forehead shriveled deeply, he really wanted to say Bai Tian was not only probably insane, but completely insane. I don't know what Bai Tian had in mind, until it was so easy to utter such a sentence.

Yao Han took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind and heart, "I don't remember ever wishing for anything until the sky sent me a golden lightning bolt."

"Didn't you want to be a cultivator? But it can't because it doesn't have spirit root."

Bai Tian was on target, keeping Yao Han quiet for quite a while. The man smiled faintly looking at Yao Han's dazed face.

"I still don't understand the connection between my expectations and the golden lightning..."

"To put it simply, the incident that happened to you, which was struck by golden lightning, made you have spirit roots. Now you have the chance to become a cultivator."

Yao Han's eyes rounded large, his body slightly trembling withstanding the enthusiasm, "Really, Uncle?!"

"Of course." Bai Tian took out a clear crystal ball the size of a palm, "This thing will show the possession and type of spirit root of a person. Put your hands on it."

The examination in Flower Hill City was different from what Bai Tian had done, but he believed the all-white man.

Right after Yao Han placed his right hand on the clear crystal, there appeared five small lights of different colors. Red, green, blue, brown, and gray. Yao Han was stunned by this.

"Uncle, what does this mean?"

"As I said before, you finally have a spirit root. If you don't have it there won't be a small ball of light in this crystal ball." Bai Tian could see Yao Han who was smiling widely, "While the number of light orbs that appeared showed a type of spirit root."

"There are five small balls of light.. does that mean good?"

"Unfortunately no. These five tiny lights represent the five basic elements. Your type of spirit root is called the five elemental pseudo spirit root. The quality of the spirit root was worst in the world of cultivators, as it contained five elements at once."

Yao Han only this time found out about the spirit root even further, making him shocked, "Worse, yes..."

"Don't be too disappointed."

"I understand, Uncle. At least having a five elemental spirit root was better than not having it at all."

Bai Tian smiled faintly, then kept the crystal ball, "What makes you want to become a cultivator, Han'er?"

"Hm, I was just interested in the path of immortality, I think it's fun. All I know is that being a cultivator gets a lot of benefits. If I become a cultivator, then the more people I can help easily."

"Interesting, why do you want to help others?"

"Don't life help each other, Uncle? That's what I've always been taught and done by people where I come from."

Bai Tian let out a laugh, quite satisfied with Yao Han's reply, "A nice and interesting answer for a plain kid like you. Well, even if you still have to see the world more broadly so that your insight increases. However, let's hope your mindset doesn't change and get better."

Yao Han didn't really understand, but he tried to recall Bai Tian's message.

"You know that cultivation consists of several levels of practice, right?" Yao Han nodded softly, "Humans with spirit root qualities like you will always encounter obstacles in the practice of immortality and will not reach a high level of practice. Being here can help you with this matter."

"How's it going, Uncle?"

"Your world is very risky to use this technique because it is very painful and one small mistake alone leads to tragic death. Plus it can only change the quality of the spirit root itself. But you can rest easy, because I can do it to you and there's absolutely no risk."

Yao Han did not understand the technique in question, but he was very enthusiastic, "Please help him, Uncle." Yao Han took a deep breath to get ready.

Bai Tian smiled warmly then made a move on his hand. Yao Han knew Bai Tian was forming a hand seal. Upon completion appeared a golden light on Bai Tian's right hand.

Bai Tian touched Yao Han's forehead, then that golden light enveloped Yao Han's body. Slowly the light entered the boy's body. Yao Han felt something shatter within his body not long after the light had entered, but felt nothing. Then something else is formed again.

The process lasted for about ten minutes before Bai Tian released his hand that was no longer glowing. Yao Han thought the process would go on for a long time, it turned out to be quite a while. Bai Tian took out a clear crystal ball again to double-check Yao Han's spirit root.

"You'll be surprised by this second examination." Bai Tian smiled mysteriously, along with Yao Han putting his hands on the crystal ball.

Yao Han's forehead shriveled deeply, appearing five different-colored lights but not five small balls of light. It was as if the five brighter lights were dividing this crystal ball into five parts. There was also a slow humming sound.

Bai Tian gave an answer before Yao Han asked, "Before you had five elemental spirit roots, now you have five spirit roots that each contain one basic element.

Bai Tian smiled warmly, trying not to laugh looking at Yao Han's confused face. Already he guessed the boy in front of him would think hard with his words.

"Ng... What is it... great?" yao Han asked a little doubtfully.

"good? Sure was! Ah, naw. Even the word 'very good' is still not appropriate to describe your condition. It's actually pretty amazing!"

Yao Han still looked dazed, but then felt extremely happy.

"I don't intend to change your condition too much, so I just change it a little, by changing your spirit root without eliminating the existing natural elements."

"Uncle, I honestly don't really understand, but thank you so much for Uncle's help."

Bai Tian smiled faintly, "You will understand later after your spirit returns to your physical body. But there are still some things I need to give and say."

Bai Tian brought up a blue-covered book with a golden title that read 'Heavenly Star' and a unique gold-carved jade bracelet.

Bai Tian explained that the cultivator needed a practice manual that contained instructions for one to practice the practice. Without practice manuals will still be able to practice but the results obtained are very small.

The practice manual, called the Book of Heavenly Stars, contains instructions that are 'adjusted' to Yao Han's condition, and also contains practical instructions for some combination of the basic elements of nature.

"This jade bracelet is not an ordinary bracelet, including an heirloom that serves as a storage area, called a space bracelet."

Note:

Is there a reader who also plays the Immortal Taoist-Idle Game of Immortal Cultivation?

Btw, my first account is already almost a year old on server no. 29 with a level 6 Golden Immortal practice, though, while for his physical strength to reach Heavenly Bening level 3 (rarely maen so the rise is slow).
