Reincarnated into a Snow Griffin Chapter 64

I got into observing other people and creatures quite a lot after that clumsy flying attempt of mine. As the teaching Master said, a very important part of our learning depended on our ditating skills, almost as if a cooker has its abilities limited and cannot make a decent al without fire, there is only so much we new disciples can do with our current state as we still lack the energy combuster that we absorb via ditation, and even if I have a greater status than my companions and will receive better pellets to help improve since I’m an inner disciple, I still put double the effort than any around here for I had a very clear objective set in front of , on contrary to most kids around here that were just fooling around.

However my inner disciple status, my strange veil, and my odd obsessive efforts only increased the envy and loathing of so, but on the sa asure it did increase the favoritism of so for such a mysterious being, almost as if looking up to as inspirational guidance.

Either way it did not matter to for I would only go back and forth from one type of study to the other, from the morning classes to studying the books as well as ditating. plus the hidden flying classes in the evening.

And one important thing that I learned from all of that is to observe others in detail.

So secrets are not told to us using words, and the children of my age do not understand very well the untold words, not only from not being taught so, but for the fact that the Cultivating Realm is full of secrets that many rather not share, for those secrets could be what would lead them to immortality, and being a competitive world where the strong eat the weak if you are not careful enough many hide such knowledge so it does not be stolen from them or used against them.

So if one truly wants to ascend there are but a few ways; or you are a genius and create your own style and technique, or you have a great backing with a lot of resources and secret technics, or you... observe, watch, learn, and steal from others, and sotis not in a polite way either.

So I watched what I could, and learned everything I can grasp, thirstier than a snow owl in a desert for all the knowledge hidden within every corner of this place.

And a few important things that I learned by watching my seniors ditate, or eavesdropping on their conversations with my sharper sense, is that the place that you ditate matters as much as the link to your basic elents, so while the external Qi energy could be categorized in Ying and Yang, the absorbing rate could be categorized with the number of elents one could think of plus more, so being the mix of basic root elents such as wood is the mix of the primary elents water and earth.

Not only the lesser elents you have the better you absorb that energy as it will co purer into your veins and ridians, the more primary elents your base is ford the better for you as they are stronger and more condensed, and even if you have only two elents as your core base, which usually would be considered very good, if they are not the primary type but the mix of such then they will count as the double because of the mixture, being similar to a four rooted elental more than a pure dual primary cultivator.

That’s why I have a very strong wind elent, for not only do I have it as a primary pure elent but my ice elent is a mix between wind and water too, doubling its effects there, almost as if I have two thirds of wind and one third of water basically.

The problem is, neither make a very effective shield, so I would have to be very creative in that regard uhm... ice and wild... perhaps so sort of hurricane?

No matter, this was still far beyond my reach and I had to focus on the now, so while I would use my hidden place to practice flying, it was cold and windy enough for to ditate as well, which explains the sense of belonging that I felt the first mont I stepped there.

And yet I’m ashad to say that it took a while to discover that I had been training my flying skills wrong, even though I managed to evolve it to level 3 as well as Strong Will to level 11, my clumsy attempts seed to have reached their limits and I could not pass that threshold no matter how much I flapped my white wings.

That’s when, a little dishearten, I took a step back and started to observe the only creatures I could around to remotely learn how to fly, the birds, and started to understand just how different their own thods were from each species; on how so from the smaller type could just flap their wings in place and move up, so even stopping midair with how fast they managed to flap like the hummingbird, and others, heavier, needed an extra impulse with their legs to go up, and at tis needed a little run before having enough synergy too.

But what all of them had in common is one thing...

They are all birds.

I an, that obvious and yet it took a ti to realize that I have been trying to lift this humanoid block of a body up as if levitating, and all the resistance and weight were counterbalanced and not suited for flying, and even if I’m sure that in the future I would manage to fly even in this form, the inexperience at that mont was trying to do it in the worst and harder way possible!

It is like trying to lift a heavy rock by only using the tip of my fingers, which is possible, but much much harder.

So I, after so long in that humanoid form, finally change back to my original one, firstly taking my clothes off and neatly hiding them in the crevice of a tree, and enjoying the cold wind embracing my naked skin for a mont I let the rune shine inside the little bag around my neck, paws stretching while fur and feather grow, and my owl griffin nature takes form and makes expand my wings wide and enjoy the true stretch that having my true form out to give.

So stressful, having to pretend to be like them all the ti, but it will all be worth it in the end, these humans knowledge will grant the strength to trespass new frontiers, as well as these pair of wings of mine that I’m about to put into use.

And the horizon would not be the limit anymore.
