Master Wong

Kaito and Asmir finally arrived at Master Wong's house after running around the village eight times. Master Wong was in seclusion so he could cultivate in peace so his servant, Saiwu, who was caught off guard when they arrived greeted them with a mixture of surprise, curiosity and suspicion.

"Ah, young travelers, I wasn't expecting my Master to have visitors today. What brings you to the Wong Manor?"

Kaito's eyes narrowed as he looked at him, "We're looking for Master Wong, we want information about the Azure Dragon Sect's trials as well as the Asteria Jewels. We've heard rumors, but unfortunately for us we don't know much about them."

Master Wong who came out of seclusion asked the young men to come in and take a seat. The Masters expression turned serious, his eyes gleaming with intensity. "The trials, yes. They are a test of one's spiritual energy, martial skils, and comat ability. But I must warn you, the trials are not for the faint of heart or for those who pretend to be strong but are weak inside."

Asmir looked at him with stone cold eyes"What do you mean by that old man," he said in anger, "What kind of challenges are going to be happen during the trial that you have to say something like that?"

Master Wong closed his eyes and explained the stages of the trial. "The trial is divided into three stages. The first stage is a test of spiritual energy, where you must demonstrate your ability to harness and control the elements. The second stage is a martial arts tournament, where you must showcase your combat skills. The third stage is similar to the second one but in this stage you will be tested on your fighting capabilities without using your QI,and by the looks of it you guys would fail the first two. Anymore questions?"

Asmir was frustrated by all this but his determination surged to the forefront. He would do whatever it took to pass the trial and join the Azure Dragon Sect.

"Master Wong, I want to ask you something," Kaito said, his voice filled with curiosity. "The main reason for coming here was to know more about the Asteria jewels?"

Master Wong's eyes sparkled with interest. "Ah, the Asteria jewels. They are ancient artifacts imbued with the essence of the stars,they are similar to our mana stones but people who are still in the inner stages use them since they don't have enough money to get one for themselves. You can find them within the bodies of monsters, they are extracted and used to enhance one's spiritual energy."

Asmir's eyes widened with excitement. "That sounds incredible!"

Master Wong smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Indeed, the Asteria jewels can be sold to collectors and merchants, who will pay a fair sum for them. Alternatively, you can use them to enhance your spiritual energy and abilities, making you stronger and more formidable cultivators."

Kaito's mind was racing with excitement. He thought to himself, "This could be a fast way to cultivate my spiritual energy to were it was in my previous life. If I can obtain theem, I can accelerate my progress and become stronger than how I was in my previous life."

Master Wong finally made eye contact with the young men,his expression serious. "Remember, the journey to obtain the Asteria jewels will be treacherous, and you must be prepared to face challenges and dangers beyond your wildest imagination."

Asmir grinned, his face set in a determined expression. "We're not afraid of a challenge. We'll hunt those monsters and claim the Asteria jewels."

Master Wong's laughed with tears of joy coming out of his eyes. "Very well, I will provide you with my assistance, I would like to see if you are capable of turning those words into reality, But first I would like you to tell me what stage are you two currently at?"

Kaito thought for a moment,"I've only been able to reach the fifth inner, Alignment stage of the Novice Cultivation Stage, Master Wong."

Asmir chuckled. "I'm currently at the Synergy Stage of the Novice Cultivation Stage Master Wong. My spiritual energy is balanced and harmonious, and I can sense the flow of energy around me."

Master Wong's eyes narrowed, his expression thoughtful. "I see, so technically you both are just the same as garbage."When Kaito heard these words he thought to himself, "What do you mean by garbage I struggled to reach this stage and made it happen in five days, FIVE DAYS! ever since I reincarnated in this body."

Kaito didn't notice that his face was similar to that of a child trying to poop, The Master continued saying, "To qualify for the trials you need to at least be at the pulse stage, the seventh inner stage of the Novice Cultivation Stage, so to succeed in the trials, you'll need to improve your spiritual energy and abilities fast before the trials."
