"I am not sure that I can do that. I didn't want you allying yourself with them and..." said his master before being interrupted by Adam.
"Master you are wrong. I don't know what they did to you or what your relationship is with the large cultivation families, but the young family heads that are my friends didn't do anything to you and I am allied with them. You are still stuck in the past and need to let go of any fears or grudges that you hold because they are holding you back" said Adam directly.
The old man didn't know how to react to what Adam said and deep down knew that he was right, but didn't want to accept it.
"I only told you about the things that went well, but I didn't tell you about everything else. My adoptive mother, who I would call my aunt, was taken over by an Evil Soul and was able to easily overpower me and run off with my aunt's body" revealed Adam.
"You think you are the only one that went through hardship, pain and betrayal. I was betrayed recently and my aunt would have been killed if she wasn't luckily saved and it was also a tipping point for her that allowed the Evil Soul to manipulate her and take over her body" shouted Adam.
"Pain and hardship are all I ever feel and I can never tell anybody, but I use it as a drive and keep moving forwards rather than hiding away. I am sure you know a lot about cultivation and probably also know about the Evil Cultivation Organisation that keeps toying with me and affecting the lives of others, but instead of trying to fight your past and solve your problems, you are hiding" shouted Adam.
He hadn't had the chance to say what he was feeling to someone other than Ava who knew what he felt and used the chance to vent on his master, hoping that it would help his master get out of the state he was in.
"You have probably noticed that I cultivate in my sleep, but you have no idea just how painful it is for me and yet, I am still trying my best to be happy, increase my power and move forwards. I came here to train with you in order to become powerful enough to get back my aunt's body and also fight that Evil Cultivation Organisation, but it seems that despite your power and knowledge, you have lost your fighting spirit and drive" stated Adam who knew that his master had probably realised it and it was also a good chance to get that off his chest.
If he was going to be training with his master for an entire year and his cultivation progressing quickly, he needed to be able to explain it and being honest with his master was the best thing.
His master wanted to refute what Adam was saying and become angry, but he could see that Adam was clearly warning the best for him and was right.
"Is there anything else that has happened while you were gone?" asked his master, not wanting to address what Adam had just said to him.
Adam calmed down and could see that his master understood where he was coming from, before telling him everything else that had happened.
He told him about Chase, but didn't mention the Monk Inheritance as it wasn't his secret to tell, and told him about how Chase and Elizabeth were going to be the first to be leaders in the faction he was forming.
His master was surprised by the fact that Adam forming a faction, but Adam told him that he was planning to take down that Evil Cultivation Organisation that might have had something to do with the Evil Soul being in his aunt and that he wanted to strop them from harming innocents.
"And you trust them to leave them as the leaders of the faction you are planning to form?" asked his master.
"Yes I do and although Elizabeth isn't able to cultivate at all, they will both become key parts of my faction" affirmed Adam confidently.
Hearing that Elizabeth couldn't cultivate at all, Adam's master was surprised as even someone who wasn't talented at all in cultivation would be able to cultivate.
"It must be that she has a special constitution. Just like her ancestor" said the old man.
"What is a special constitution and how do you know her ancestor?" asked Adam who was hoping to draw more information out of his master.
"A special constitution is a rare type of body that has special effects, abilities or conditions on their cultivation. They are very rare and many of them aren't of much use or are hard to be awakened, but the one that your friend has is probably a Medicinal Constitution. Her family, before it was destroyed, was focused around producing medicine and healing, which was because their ancestor had that constitution and he could only cultivate through a special method" answered his master.
"You don't really need to know the details, but just think of it as she can only cultivate by using medicine and rare resources through a certain method"
"I never thought such things existed, so if she gets her hands on the right method and resources, she should be able to cultivate" mumbled Adam to himself.
Adam then went on to mention his alliance with the NYPD and briefly told him about what had happened with that, then they both went silent for a while and his master didn't know what to say.
"Master. Do you know of the Evil Cultivation Organisation that I speak of? I don't know what they call themselves, who they are and what their goal is, but I have seen traces and they have made it clear that they want to mess with my life and do as they please from the shadows" asked Adam.
"Also do you know about Evil Souls and what is your relation to the large cultivation families?" asked Adam who had so many questions for his master, since Ava could only tell him so much with the restrictions placed on her by the system.
