[Timeskip 6 years and nine months]
(General POV)
In a small house at the centre of the village, a boy can be seen sleeping soundly.
"Wake up! Little Jin, breakfast is ready!"
A voice called. The boy stirs and opens his eyes. Getting up, he proceeds to the nearby container filled with water to wash up.
Suddenly, he gets a headache that causes him to almost pass out. When gets his bearings, he is assaulted with memories. The memories of a past life and his reincarnation.
"I really got reincarnated!" he exclaimed.
He went through his memories of the past 6 years.
'So my mother passed a few months after I was born' he thought sadly. 'I hoped Tang Hao would atleast come to visit mother or me a few times after I was born, but he never came'
He became sad since even in his previous life, he didn't have parents and was brought up in an orphanage.
'Atleast, I have my grandparents', he thought. They loved and cherished him. They spoiled him a lot.
He then remembered his wishes and called out, "Status!"
A blue screen pops in front of him.

All of these cost him 50,000 sp. He was left with another 50,000 sp.
"I'll need a cultivation technique for my body, soul and mind. I wonder if there is any technique that can allow me to cultivate all 3 at the same time. Lets see."
He found several that would allow him to do so but only 2 appealed to him. They were:
-Splitting Heaven and Earth technique- which granted him immense physical strength and stamina.
-Elemental Domination technique- which allowed him to manipulate various elements and boosted his endurance.
Both cost 50,000 sp. But were worth it.
After much thought, he decided on the Elemental Domination technique since he already had spirits that would enhance his strength and stamina.
"System, buy the Elemental Domination technique."

Purchase Confirmed.

Having taken care of that, he went to have breakfast.
Seeing Xia Dong-mei setting the table, he greeted her and asked her when the Spirit Awakening Ceremony would take place.
She informed him that the annual ceremony was still 4 months away. He was glad to hear this as he wanted to familiarise himself with all the skills he had.
Quickly finishing his breakfast, he told Xia Dong-mei he would be going out to play and went towards the forest to begin practicing and cultivating.
