Darkness covered the entire sky and the stars begin to appear and shine like a brilliant which indicating that it is a night time.

In a secret room wherein it is usually serve as meeting area to discuss about things. An old man is sitting in a manner and as well as other people here. They are discussing about the things that need to be tackled in tomorrow activity which is very important.

"What will be your plan, Chief?" Said the man in his forties. He is Gon Li. There is concern in his voice, especially since their future depends on it.

"Leader, five years from now, our neighboring clans will definitely take action so that their member can enter the Cosmic Dragon Institute, what is our action in this regard?" Said a skeptical lady especially since they know that there are only five slots given to them by a large institution. He is Ever Li

"Hahaha ... Calm down and don't worry. I know your grievances about this matter. It has occurred to me that we have been given a long time for preparation regarding the competition to be held for the new generations who will be disciples or There has been a change in the date of admission of new students. Tomorrow morning we will also start training children ages six and up so that somehow we will have a representative even if we can't get a seat or slot for our student. " Said the Chief named Sandro Li of the Li Clan. Even though its voice has a happy tone, sadness will see its pair of eyes even if others know it too.

In the past when the Li Clan was first established, it can be said that the atmosphere of the place was so abundant and beautiful that it seemed to be very lively. Many talented Cultivators have sprung up here. In fact the Li clan is known for having Martial Talents. But over time its force is gradually weakening due to the many problems they face that most do not know but it still remains a mystery even to the current leaders of the Li Clan. Those talking in this secret room are the Chief and the Elders of the Li Clan.

They have been discussed especially in the initial tests or tests to find out a child's martial talent whether it has the ability to be a powerful Cultivator in the future or they will just remain ordinary individuals of the Li Clan. Their expectations are too high now because in just a few years there will be big activity and that is the Cosmic Dragon Competition for the new generations but unfortunately only five seats or slots have been provided by the Institution in this area.

This place is called Green Valley. It is three hundred kilometers away from the Cosmic Dragon Institute which is a dream place of most but only a few Cultivators have successfully entered this place but most of those who entered have no news or information about them even communication has been cut off. also because of the laws in place even the Cultivator's information is not spread or found at all. It has also been a long time since not a single member of the Li Clan has stepped on or entered that Institution even if not a single information about its law and programs is known to the Li Clan. So now they want to try to get at least one member of their new generation into the Cosmic Dragon Institute to give Recognition to their little clan.

Who will give them importance? They are just one of thousands of villages living on this continent so what more could they ask for? They are lucky because even though they are very far from the Cosmic Dragon Institute, the Institution still gave them the opportunity to show and showcase their skills in the field of Martial Arts. Although considered a small clan, the Li Clan has more than three thousand members. There is no denying they are very numerous but their overall strength is still very weak. With the lack of Cultivation Resources as well as equipment or weapons, Common Armaments are just another ordinary weapon. Farming and taking care of animals is their main occupation here. They can be Trainer or Tamer of wild animals like Wild Beast and Viscous Beast but with their low Cultivation Base these wild animals will definitely eat them before they can even get close to them. This is also one of the main problems faced by Li Clan members.

"Why aren't you worried Chief? You know the great recognition we can get for that big activity add to the benefits we will get if our new members become official students towards the path of Cultivation." Dino Li said who was one of the Elders of the Li Clan. He knew it was a serious situation and they needed to get the spot at least once in that competition. Every ten years only this opportunity comes for those who can be considered the only ordained Clans that cover little of this area. Such an opportunity is a great blessing for them but it is a great pressure for them especially since many clans they will collide especially the talented geniuses of the new generations will definitely appear at the time of the competition which will definitely be fierce opponents of their new generation of Li Clan.

"There's nothing we can do if we don't prosper to step foot in that place. We know there are many more things we have to worry about especially our daily lives and our safety. If not really for that. we have that opportunity we can do nothing. We know that mercy lifts us up. " Chief Sandro Li said he has a positive outlook for tomorrow. It smiled sparingly.

There was silence in the whole corner of the room signifying that Chief Sandro Li was right. They will still have many problems that will prolong their lineage to the next generations.

"Do you still have questions? If you don't have any you can leave." Chief Sandro Li told the Elders. He knew a lot was bothering each of them not about the competition but about what he had just said.

Gradually the five Elders left this room and politely went or left this place to perform their duties. Actually the role of each of them is heavy especially with the Chief because just a little mistake will definitely collapse their foundation of the Li Clan.

Chief Sandro Li just sighed as he stood up and spoke again.

"Hopefully to have talented Cultivators in this new generation, the Li Clan will definitely collapse once it loses a new foundation in the future." Chief Sandro Li said while looking at the stars but he immediately went to the door and quickly left the place.

Twinkling stars can be seen in the sky as the boy who has just stepped foot at the age of six recently has been happily gazing at the stars. It is lying on the grass and happily draws its hand on the stars as if connecting them with seemingly invisible lines. This is what a boy named Li Xiaolong usually does. It will often play with things that are far away. At this age it has a happy personality. The form of this child has white skin, a sharp nose paired with beautiful two thin gray eyes. Has fairly elongated white hair. You could say he was a definition of race or member of the Li Clan.

But despite the beautiful st handsome faces of their clan is the opposite of their talents in Martial Arts. In this world they are confronted with a difference of strength or power than outward appearance. So it is not surprising that they are one of the main temptations when they come out of their territory. Although the Li can be considered only a small Clan, it can be said that their territory or area covers a large area, even their neighboring clans such as the Huang Clan and the Lin Clan can also be said to cover a large territory. inevitable disputes and other problems with them and the other clans.

One of the reasons for the decline of the Li clan is that the few Martial Arts Techniques and resources of their clan caused by the past time have gradually lost their Martial Arts Techniques and Cultivation Resources so it is not surprising. their force was greatly weakened. If it weren't for these things they would definitely still be inflated to this day. There are many more mysteries hidden behind the problem facing the Li Clan at present.

At the young age of six, many people laughed at the minds of young people, especially the new generations of the Li Clan, including Li Xiaolong. He dreams of being a strong Cultivator in the future. He wants to raise the Li Clan by striving hard. He felt sorry for his parents who were ordinary members of the Li Clan. His father was Li Qide who was only a farmer and his mother named Li Wenren was only at home to take care of his younger brother Li Ying who was only one year old. It can be said that they are still short of daily expenses especially since his father's income is only one hundred copper which is the reason why young Li Xiaolong wants to be strong.

Many more images of Li Xiaolong's dreams flashed through his playful mind.

"Xiaolong, come home!" A loud shout came from not far away.

The boy immediately lost his mind because of what he heard. He knew that voice of his mother Li Wenren. She was sure her mother was done preparing their dinner.

Li Xiaolong immediately woke up from his bed from the lush grass. He immediately left this place especially since his mother instructed him not to spend the night or wait for their food to cool because it was a disgrace to their creator. Food is a blessing from heaven so it should not be neglected or even enjoyed.

Li Xiaolong quickly ran from his position earlier in a grassy mountain near their house to their house. Li Xiaolong's face frowned a little as he approached the yard of their small house that looked like a hut because it was a bit small, especially since he realized that he was very dirty due to the intense splitting of wood to make firewood.

At the age of four, his parent Li Xiaolong already saw the potential in the field of strength. His mother believes that Li Xiaolong was blessed with extraordinary strength, especially since at the age of four he was able to lift a sack of rice and at the age of five he was able to cut down large trees. Because of his strength, he rarely interacts with other relatives, especially young people, especially since his strength is not ordinary. When he was only four he almost accidentally ran over a member of their family who almost broke a bone in his ribs so his parents reminded him to be careful especially with his age or younger ones. to him in associating with them especially since his arms were not ordinary. So instead of wandering around all day, he just cuts down trees or chops big trees, especially dry wood, to make firewood. He chops down many trees and sells them to their neighbors to help his parents support their daily expenses. Each bundle of chopped wood is worth five copper so that in one day he earns thirty copper which he gives to his mother but his mother does not accept it.

Li Xiaolong immediately grabbed his pocket and grabbed the bronze and counted.

"One, two, three ... ten .... thirty" Li Xiaolong counted his earnings today. Li Xiaolong rested deeply and smiled at it because he thought he lost it when he lay down earlier.

"It's good ...." Li Xiaolong said in his mind and he discarded his thoughts. It immediately opened the relatively small barrier door of their house that only one person could enter and immediately opened their door to the house. Li Xiaolong immediately saw his mother who had just finished serving food at their table. Li Xiaolong could see that the food his mother served was still warm.

"Oh, son, let's eat because your father will definitely be coming home for the night. He must have gone to the market to buy the things we should need at home." Her mother Li Wenren spoke softly as she looked at her son.

"Yes, ma'am. He's the one, ma'am, this is my income now from selling wood." Li Xiaolong said and stole all his copper money. He immediately presented it to his mother with a smile but his mother just looked at him and spoke.

"Just keep that to save so that if you have the expense or want to buy you can buy. We were lucky and we were given a hard -working and good son." His mother said that she was now looking into Li Xiaolong's eyes. There was a little water to be seen in her mother's eyes even as she smiled at her son Li Xiaolong.

Even though Li Xiaolong was still young he was blessed with sharp thinking especially with regard to reading human emotions. He has a deep perception of things so he understands what his mother wants to convey. They are not rich and especially they are not a nobleman so only aging can be done. Even though their current state of life is like that, it can be said that Li Xiaolong is still very lucky with his parents. Although they are very ordinary citizens of the Li Clan, it can be said that his mother and father were very diligent in supporting them.

"All right, I'll just wash my hands to eat." Li Xiaolong said happily to say goodbye to his mother.

"Okay son, then you can take a bath too because you're a bitch hahaha!" Li Wenren said happily to his son as he laughed.

"Ah ... Ehh .... All right." Li Xiaolong said as his right hand scratched the back of his neck as if embarrassed.

Li Xiaolong immediately slumped into the chair leaving his mother still laughing. Li Xiaolong's mother Li Wenren knew that her son was responsible and that he looked like a young man. So he is used to not considering Li Xiaolong as a child because of his mature thinking and sometimes he frowns when he is a baby.

Her mother just sighed and finished the housework she hadn't finished. Then she went to her sleeping baby. He felt sorry for his son Li Xiaolong because he could not carry his younger brother because he had not yet controlled his strength. Surely when it starts to become a Cultivator only then will it be able to control the right force that its child's body should release. Her mother was relieved that her son had returned home safely but she was worried about her husband. The night was getting a little darker so fear enveloped his heart.

...

It was quite a deep night so the stars in the sky were getting brighter and brighter. There is no trace of shady weather which is an indication that no storm is brewing even rain. The place is very quiet and only the chirping of insects can be heard around which makes sense at night. There is no trace of any strange occurrence that could disturb the rest or sleep of the Li Clan.

In the four corners of the small room a child with white hair and a gentle face can be seen meditating. This child is none other than Li Xiaolong. There are tiny energies that envelop its body and gradually there is rotation and circulation of energy as if dancing and happily entering each of its veins but most of the energy enters Li Xiaolong's nose directly into its meridian in the abdomen. is the location where its dantian is located.

At the age of three, Li Xiaolong was already doing this because he was influenced to do so at an early age. It started when her father went to the market and took her for a walk. As they walked, young Li Xiaolong saw many strange things while his father was carrying him. At this age he is able to speak to other children because of the Bloodlines of their relatives.

His father bought something so his father had to put him down first to be put in the bag that his father Li Qide was carrying.

At that time there were flying white butterflies that were super enticing when anyone looked at them. Not even young Li Xiaolong survived so he started to reach and catch the charming white butterfly with his tiny hand in the belief that he would catch it. Young Li Xiaolong's foot began to step to catch the butterfly until its step got faster and faster. Young Li Xiaolong is unaware that he is far away from the place where his father is and the distance between them is even farther but young Li Xiaolong continues to walk and fall regardless of the crowded people. buying in the alleys. The child's only attention is the distant figure of the butterfly that he is chasing. The child walked through several winding alleys until the figure of the butterfly suddenly disappeared, much to the amazement of the little boy Li Xiaolong, who was not yet in his infancy.

"Would you like to see that charming butterfly?" Said a voice that seemed to be shaking.

Young Li Xiaolong immediately stopped searching for the source of the voice and saw an old man squirming while holding a cane.

"Yes! It's an architect!" Li Xiaolong replied that he could not pronounce what he was saying correctly.

"Do you believe those butterflies came out of your body?" The old man said while smiling.

Even seeing the amazement on young Li Xiaolong's face he suddenly remembered his mother-in-law's will. Suddenly the fascinating expression on its face disappeared.

"Father said, I'm not allowed to talk to people I don't know, I'm sorry, grandpa." Young Li Xiaolong said with a sad expression.

"That's okay sir, because when our paths meet I'll reward you with the Martial Absorption Technique. It'll be a long time before you see the enchanting butterflies. Not just one but countless in number. I'll only do the Technique once. this, it's all up to you kid whether you can do it or not. " The old man said while smiling sweetly at the young Li Xiaolong but with a mixture of sadness that the young ksnyang did not notice.

The old man did not let the young Li Xiaolong answer. He immediately stood on the paved area and immediately performed the Technique by meditating. The two eyes of the agitated old man closed and performed actions or gestures of the hands to perform the said Technique. Gradually there was energies enveloping the old man's body and the energy was quickly absorbed towards his body. Over time, the energies that have been scattered lately are taking shape.

"Bats, bats." Li Xiaolong said as he couldn't pronounce the word "butterflies" correctly.

From sitting to the action and hand gesture it was well remembered and planted in the heart and mind of young Li Xiaolong fear that his view of the said Absorption Technique would be in vain.

Moments later Li Xiaolong suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him. When he looked at it, the figure of his father appeared to him as he was carrying bags and the container of his backpack.

"Wherever you wear son, don't I tell you not to stay away because your mother will definitely scold me. You are worrying us." Li Qide said he was Li Xiaolong's father.

"I'm just here father, in fact he's with me." Young Li Xiaolong said as he pointed at something in front of him.

"Who's son ?!" Li Qide said to his son.

"She pooo ???!" Li Xiaolong was pointing but when he faced what was in front of him it was just a big wall and there was nothing in it.

"Oh my god, son maybe the demon or the evil spirit of this place is playing you. Let's leave this place maybe someone wants to take you." His father said hysterically. He knows many stories about this location which is covered by the market. There is a mystery surrounding this huge market especially since most have no idea the true past of this place.

The father and son quickly left this area to return to their home. Li Qide has no plans to tell this to his wife Li Wenren, especially since he will hear so many sermons and lessons.

Because of this incident this is the reason why Li Xiaolong has had the Absorption Technique to date but it is also one of the reasons why his physical strength has become stronger. But in spite of this he wanted to see the charming butterflies that he had then witnessed in the old man he did not care about.

Sometimes she thinks that the old man is only fooling her because for two or four years now not a single butterfly has come out of her body or if the energies that envelop her body can take the shape of a butterfly.

"Big Prank!" Li Xiaolong said in his mind as he recalled the old man, the Absorption Technique and the more than three years he spent in the Absorption Technique.

"Impossible, it took me many years to get to this state, am I still going to give up. The one who gives up is the loser!" Said the other part of his mind.

He was confused about what he could do but he preferred the second he thought. He will not give up because he will not be blessed if he stops and gives up. He didn't want to regret anything later. Li Xiaolong thought of the benefits of this Absorption Technique especially in his work of chopping wood with an ax, his strength, sharpness of memory especially in his extraordinary strength at present.

He continued to meditate even though Li Xiaolong almost stopped what he was doing because of his chaotic mind. Fortunately, his meditation was not interrupted.

Li Xiaolong was unaware that it was close to dawn when he gradually felt a strange phenomenon in his body, particularly here the gradual formation of the shape or figure of the scattered energies.

Li Xiaolong was almost amazed to see the change in the energies that now resemble butterflies entering his body. It feels so good as a large percentage of energy flows through her entire body especially into her dantian.

"I finally saw the fruit of my patient meditation as a kind of cultivating. By the time I got stronger I had good fortune for my father, mother and my brother. Grandpa who and where are you now, Thank you so much for grace you shared with me! " Full of Sincerity and gratitude, he wanted to say to the old man who shared the said Technique with someone like him that it didn't hurt at all.

Later, Li Xiaolong stopped meditating. Her father told her that meditating was one of quick cultivation. But he had no idea what his father was telling him about cultivation or Cultivation, he just ignored it because he knew he would know it too one day.
