You choose the Technique named <span class="mu-s">the Hawk's Wide Ballet</span>. Over the course of the next week, you spend your free time with the Hawk master to learn the movements.
He instruct you with the physical part of the technique as well as the spiritual and intent : you learn that this technique is composed of 18 figures, that can be combined in the order you want.
Performing those movements take a wide space : around 15 steps in each direction. You have to perform the dance with an Hawk, which is not an issue for you - your feathered companion learns at your side what's expected of it.
This Body-Tempering dance features open-hand brush imitating graciously the wings of the hawk, as well as a good deal of coordination.
Soon, The Hawk master deems you ready. You are given a small porcelain white pot finely painted with the 33 beasts in blue, and are instructed to drink the liquid.
You sniff. Dire mistake. The elixir is pungent, acrid, strongly-herbal scented and the smell buries in your nose.
Still, with the Hawk Master on your side to monitor your first real cultivation, you take a swig and swallow the precious thick gooey black mouthful of elixir allocated to you.
The taste is worst than the smell. Then, your throat starts to hurt - the spicy concoction lights a fire in your throat, making you clutch it with both hands.
"<span class="mu-s">Don't waste time! Wings Unfurling!</span>"
Listening to the Hawk master, you turn your clutch into cross hand on your chest extending vertically elbows-first while the Hawk circles you.
Just in time for the sensation to turn warm and fuzzy in your stomach, diffusing as wanting to be let out. Want sated by the movements you're undertaking.
Something happens in the tip of your fingers. The energy inside your belly rushed through your arms, extending over there, flattening grass as if you were, indeed, a giant hawk exerting a mighty wingbeat propelling into flight.
"Soaring Ascent! Swooping Dive!"
Three moves in, and you're already reaching your limit, drenched in a dark, sticky sweat. You've been warned of it : your body is rejecting impurities.
This confirms it : this technique is <span class="mu-s">quite well suited to you</span>, as show your first success in body cultivation.
You feel your heart beating and thumping, with residual spiritual energy overflowing in every vein and artery.
You successfully created <span class="mu-r">3 strands of Qi and Blood, a satisfying result for a first real attempt at a body technique.
You can't go farther in your body cultivation technique : you sit down, close your eyes, and focus on using your sect's Spiritual Meditation Technique : the <span class="mu-s">Way of the Spiritual Beast Whisperer</span></span>
