As Lu Wei reached the age of 5, he became more curious about the world.
"Uncle Zhou Fan, what do you think of cultivators?" Lu Wei asked.
"They're powerful and dangerous. The vast majority are selfish and do not care about the lives of mortals. It is not bad to become a cultivator, but most cultivators are bad." Zhou Fan said, giving his honest opinion.
"What if I wanted to become a cultivator?" Lu Wei asked.
"Then I suppose I would do my best to help you." Zhou Fan said. "Your father would as well."
Lu Wei nodded and thought seriously for a moment. Zhou Fan went back to reading as Lu Wei thought.
A few minutes later, Lu Wei spoke again.
"If I were to become a cultivator, should I join a sect?" Lu Wei asked.
"If you want to become as strong as possible, yes." Zhou Fan said.
"The only sect around here is the blue flower sect. Would I really need to join it?" Lu Wei asked.
"Unless you have a cultivator to take you elsewhere, I suppose you don't have a choice." Zhou Fan said.
"I see. I'll go talk to my father." Lu Wei said as he ran downstairs.
Zhou Fan shook his head and continued reading. Nearly a week later, the old man brought up the subject.
"Lu Wei told me that he wants to become a cultivator. I won't restrict him, but it is truly dangerous out there. That I've heard at least." The old man sighed.
"If you can't stop him and won't stop him, then don't worry about it." Zhou Fan said.
"I know. The blue flower sect is the only sect around here, but very few men are allowed to join. I don't want him to feel sad and dejected." The old man explained.
"If he can't even join the blue flower sect when it's at its lowest, he doesn't have enough talent to go out and freely live in the world. In that case, you might as well persuade him to stay at the library, and if he wants to cultivate he can cultivate by himself." Zhou Fan suggested.
"That makes sense. I suppose an outside perspective helps." The old man mumbled as he got up from his seat.
Zhou Fan chuckled to himself as he walked away. The old man did not understand what a gem he had picked up.
Until Lu Wei reached the age of 12, the old man helped him train his body and fighting techniques. As the old man and Zhou Fan saw Lu Wei off, he looked more like a 16 year old than a 12 year old.
"I hope he does well, even if I want him to live a peaceful life." The old man said.
"We'll see." Zhou Fan said as he went back inside.
Once every year, a large string of carriages took any youth who wanted to join the blue flower sect to the gate's of the sect.
Traveling there took a month by mortal carriage.
Around a month and a half later, the old man nearly fell out of his chair after receiving a letter.
He ran up to the second floor and showed it to Zhou Fan.
"Dear father and Uncle Zhou Fan, it seems that my talent is fairly good. As soon as my group finished the talent testing portion of the entrance exams, the grand elder of the blue flower sect accepted me as her personal disciple. I will visit soon, goodbye!" The letter read.
"Wow." Zhou Fan said.
"Not just "Wow", my son must have some incredible talent for such a thing to happen. What if he is schemed against? What if someone hurts him? What if the grand elder has evil intentions?" The old man asked with worry apparent in his voice.
"In that case, it is fate. What can you do about it?" Zhou Fan asked. "Plus, I'm sure he'll be fine."
The old man only calmed down after nearly an hour.
"These old bones can't handle all of this excitement." He said as he took the day off early.
Zhou Fan shook his head as the old man walked away. There was no way that a mere blue flower sect would see the extent of that child's talent.
—---------------
At night, within the blue flower sect, Lu Wei was sitting on the floor of a dark room with faint moonlight coming in through the window.
He held out his hand, and a three sided dice appeared on his palm from thin air.
After the grand elder had helped him become a 1st level Qi condensation cultivator, he had felt as if there was something in his body.
He had kept it hidden from the grand elder, and was only testing it now.
"A three sided dice?" He asked himself.
He threw the dice on the ground and watched as it landed on a 1.
All of a sudden, a large amount of Qi appeared out of nowhere and poured into Lu Wei's body. In that instant, Lu Wei had absorbed an amount of Qi he could only get after cultivating for 24 hours.
The dice turned blurry and disappeared, while Lu Wei panted from exhaustion. Half of his stored Qi had disappeared.
He could still cultivate and did so to refill his Qi reserves, as well as regain his stamina.
Although it was a roundabout method, Lu Wei had just broken the rules set in place by Zhou Fan pertaining to cultivation speed.
With this, he could cultivate twice as fast as anyone else in the same realm in the entire universe.
That, with his immortal god 7 rank meridians, there was no telling how far he would be able to go.
With his talent, he should have received a letter at the age of 10, but Zhou Fan had stopped it. Now, he would only receive the second letter when he broke through to the space shattering realm.
It was about a year later that Lu Wei returned to the library. Of course, he did not return quietly. He came with the grand elder of the blue flower sect on the back of a core formation realm eagle.
