When night fell on the first day in the Darkwood forest, Qai stopped honing his archery skill and spent his time cultivating. He plans to do the same everynight in this training.

With the use of Qi Gathering Pills from her sister-in-law, he made use of his time in attempting to push his level to advance to mid earth stage--which is basically a tall order.

An average cultivation would need around a year to breakthrough. Any earlier than that would mean the cultuvator is a genius--and Qai is not one of them.

'I may not be a genius, but I might have some luck.. who knows? So I'm gonna push my luck,' he thought.

He tried hard, but to no avail.

On the second day, Qai turned to hunt more ferocious mortal beasts. He included wild bears and wild wolves in the list of practice targets.

In no time, his archery has reached milestones.

'There is no better training than live targets,' he said to himself.

And on the third day, he decided to move south towards the area near the unnamed forest which is believed to be the entrance to a desolate wasteland.

He didn't wander though inside the inner region. He simply traced the periphery to avoid any demonic beast.

**************

While fighting a ferocious mortal ape, he suddenly felt a powerful breeze which passed over him.

'Swooooosh.'

In that instant, the wild ape threw a mouthful and blood and popped its eyes to death.

At that same moment, Qai dropped on to his knees feeling the great pressure of a Wind element aura.

And all of a sudden, person at the initial Heaven stage of Sage realm appeared from his behind. Qai's heart beat fast. The man's level is a whole realm stronger than his father's.

As he never felt such pressure before, he simply stayed on his knees, and decided not to look--although he didn't know why would such a person steal his mortal beast useless prey.

"Esteemed Elder," he uttered stammeringly, glancing a bit, while kowtowing at the same time.

"What can this humble servant do for you?" Qai continued as he figured out from the robe of the cultivator that he must belong to a great clan.

"Boy," the Sage cultivator said with a hint of arrogance, "do you perhaps live in the hunter's plateau few hours away from here?"

"I do, Esteemed Elder," he answered. He immediately realized that this sage must have stayed in their inn, "I am the youngest son of the Shu family in the plateau you speak of. I am here for training."

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Qai asked.

"Hmmmn," the sage muttered after some moments of thought as he finds Qai to be speaking the truth, "I am looking for a sage realm wind white tiger said to be lurking in these part of the forest."

The white tiger was originally from the desolate wasteland but for some reason wandered off in the outskirts of the Darkwood forest.

"I have not seen one, Esteemed Elder. But further down south is said to be the entrance to the wasteland. I guess such beast would come from there.. and the tiger must be near there since the inner region of the Darkwood forest is still far from here," Qai replied pointing his hand to the inner region.

"Your deduction is pretty smart," the sage said. "Here," the sage took something from his spatial ring like magic and threw it towards Qai. "This will greatly help you in your training."

"Thank you, Esteemed Elder," he said as he continued in the kowtowed position. He didn't move an inch convinced that one mistake might offend the sage.

Only after the sage left that he picked up what was thrown.

To his surprise, it was a Qi Gathering Pill but a 3-tier higher than what his sister-in-law makes. It was a supreme grade one!

He felt elated and immediately ran away from the elder and looked for a place to cultivate that early. He didn't want to waste such an opportunity.

He found a suitable tall tree and sat on one of its sturdy branches in a lotus position. Qai then swallowed the pill and immediately felt its amazing effects.

'No wonder father said that cultivators in the clans and sects are way stronger,' he thought.

He continued to cultivate for the next two days.. and in the following morning, he opened his eyes and saw black liquid-like dirt all over his skin.

He broke through to the mid earth stage!

He immediately ran off to look for a pond or a river to wash his body and clean all those impurities away.

Then Qai ran off to test his upgraded strength.

When he saw a wild ox, he instantly released two consecutive arrows infused with much stronger lightning Qi straight to its head.

'Swoosh, swoosh.'

'Boom, boom.'

The ox was momentarily stunned before it stumbled onto the ground. The arrows that hit were clearly headshot attacks. And the lightning Qi unbearably did the damage.

The ox mooed loudly in pain before it eventually died.
