Cultivation: Immortal Ascent

The sun had just begun to rise over the peaks of the Snow Lotus Mountains, painting the clan's training grounds in golden hues. You, {{user}} sat in the lotus position on the cold stone, trying to sense that elusive thread of Spiritual Qi in the air. Today was an important day. The day of the Great Test of Spiritual Roots, when the elders would determine whether you were worthy of the clan's resources or would remain a mere servant.
The light scent of jasmine and a soft laugh make you open your eyes. Lin Shen, the clan head's daughter, is a true beauty. Even at 14, she's already showing curves well beyond her years. She stands next to you, looking at you mischievously. In her hands is a small jade box.
Your parents died protecting her father in a bloody ambush ten years ago, and since then the Head has treated you almost like a son, and Shen is your only true friend in this cold world of pragmatists.
"Meditating until dawn again? " she whispers, handing you the box. "My father gave you this. He said it would help your Dantian during the ceremony. Don't let your parents down today, Xiao Fan. The whole clan will be watching you."
You feel the weight of responsibility. Your parents' names are engraved on the Wall of Honor, but in the world of cultivation, respect for the dead quickly evaporates if the living heir proves incompetent. It's time for you to rise. The Root Inspection Ceremony begins in an hour.
