"Pfft!"
After a whole day had passed, a spark the size of a fingernail suddenly ignited on Jiang Yun's outstretched right index finger, emitting a faint warmth.
Looking at these flickering sparks, which could extinguish at any moment, Ginger Cloud's face was filled with excitement. However, this excitement only lasted for a short while before transforming into confusion.
Jiang Yun frowned, staring at the sparks and muttering to himself: "According to the book, at the Triple Meridian Realm, one can condense their internal spiritual energy to produce a fire ball the size of a palm. I am already at the Fifth Meridian Realm, my spiritual energy can be released outwards, forming a fire ball the size of a watermelon. But why can I only produce such a small spark?"
"If the process and methods are all correct, then where exactly did the problem arise?"
In a low murmur, Jiang Yun continued to conjure sparks between his fingers while deep in thought.
At the same time, Dong Fang Bo, who was in his own house, suddenly smiled faintly and said softly, "Second junior sister, wouldn't you like to give me a hint?"
<>
"But Dongfang Bo shook his head and said, 'He doesn't even have a master yet!'"
"Second Junior Sister coldly said, "This question concerns the Daoist sect. With over ten thousand disciples inside and no masters for them, could I possibly go around giving guidance to each one?"
<>
"Second sister sat in silence for a moment before speaking again. 'Back then, among us, Third junior brother was the fastest, taking only three days. Let's wait and see how long he takes!' "
After another day, a cheer suddenly rang out from Ginger Cloud's house: "I understand!"
After a day and night of tireless pondering and research, Jiang Yun, though his eyes were bloodshot and his face pale, wore a smile of delight as he looked at the flame, the size of an egg, in his palm.
"Qi!" Jiang Yun Chang let out a breath and said, "While releasing qi externally can certainly amplify its power, the vast majority of it is wasted after release. That's why we could only form small sparks initially!"
That is to say, if I want the spells to work, I must first learn to control the spiritual energy within me. Ideally, I should be able to use every last bit without wasting any!
"But, how can I better control my spiritual energy?"
As Jian Yun fell into contemplation once more, a soft voice echoed from the East Peak, "Just one day and he's already shown such progress! This child not only cultivates at an astonishing rate but also possesses remarkable comprehension!"
"Otherwise!" The second junior sister said softly, "I can't say much about his aptitude, but the fact that he was able to find the problem so quickly must be due to his sharp observation. I suddenly feel very curious, what was his life like before entering the Wenda Sect? A mortal who had never been exposed to cultivation should not possess such observational skills!"
"I'm curious too!" Tougen said, nodding. "But Master said not to pry into a person's past, so if he doesn't bring it up, we shouldn't ask!"
"Perhaps," the second junior sister said lightly, "he really could become our fourth junior brother!"
This time, Dongfang Bo didn't speak again, he just looked in the direction where Jiang Yun was, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
At this moment, Ginger Cloud suddenly rushed out of the house and dug in the yard for a long time. Her hands were already full of small stones, each about the size of a fist.
Jiang Yun didn't go back into the house. Instead, he sat down heavily on the ground, spreading out the pebbles in front of him and placing a stone bowl beside them. He then stared intently at the pebbles, a beam of spiritual energy shooting from his fingertips and suddenly plunging into one of the stones.
Just like a whirlwind, the scattered spiritual energy suddenly jolted those pebbles apart. Then, continuously from the tip of Jiang Yun's finger, spiritual energy shot out and sank into those pebbles.
This scene naturally caught the attention of Dongfang Bo and his companion.
What is he doing?
"It seems like they want to use qì to gather all the stones into the bowl."
"Haha," the second disciple sister said with a rare smile, "You haven't even learned to walk yet, and you're already thinking about running! Although this is a clumsy method, it can indeed enhance control over spiritual energy, but...it's missing a step!"
After countless attempts, exhausting all his inner energy several times, yet still unable to pick up even a single stone, Jiang Yun stopped his movements and fell into contemplation once more.
This time, his eyes lit up quickly and he said, "No, spiritual energy is illusory, just like the wind. If you want to pick up a stone, you should first be able to materialize spiritual energy into the shape of a finger!"
Get the latest updates on Q first.
Next, Jiang Yun no longer insisted on picking up the stone with spiritual energy. Instead, he tried his best to let the spiritual energy shot out from his fingertips condense into a certain shape.
One failure, two failures, …, ten failures!
Until three days later, the spiritual energy emanating from Jiang Yun's fingertips abruptly condensed into the shape of two fingers in mid-air. Though extremely rough, they slowly picked up a pebble and placed it tremblingly into a bowl beside him.
"Clang!"
The sound of pebbles falling into a bowl, for Ginger Cloud at this moment, was simply the most beautiful music, and it also boosted his confidence.
At the same time, Dongfang Bo also let out a long breath and said: "Qi transforming into form! He did it! But, could he have already reached the sixth level of Pulse Meridian?"
The nine minor realms of the pulse realm each have a standard. For example, the fifth realm is able to project spiritual energy outward, and the sixth realm can transform spiritual energy into form.
Actually, at this time, Ginger Cloud was only at the fifth level. Logically speaking, he couldn't achieve the transformation of spiritual energy into a physical form. However, his meridians were far thicker than others', and the amount of spiritual energy he possessed was naturally much greater. Coupled with his keen senses, he was able to accomplish this step ahead of time.
But Second Junior Sister's voice didn't sound, and Jiang Yun, like possessed, kept condensing spiritual energy into various shapes, constantly grabbing pebbles and putting them into the bowl!
After ten days, the aura released by Ginger Cloud could be freely transformed into various shapes; after half a month, these fist-sized stones were changed to walnut-sized; twenty days later, the stones became grape-sized; when a whole month passed, the stones had become sesame-sized.
"It's done! "
When the last pebble was placed into the bowl, Ginger Cloud's eyes shone brightly. She took a deep breath and with a sudden flick of her wrist!
A giant fireball, as tall as a man, shot out from his palm and crashed onto a stone bench with a thunderous boom.
Amidst the crackling sound, the stone stool was instantly engulfed in flames and burned for a full minute before gradually dying down.
Looking closely at the blackened stone bench, Jiang Yun muttered to himself, "No, some spiritual energy is still being wasted. Because my meridians are thicker than those of others, the spiritual energy contained within me is naturally more abundant. So the fireball released should be bigger!"
Just as Jiang Yun was about to continue gathering stones, Dong Fangbo appeared before him with a wry smile, lightly sniffing and saying: "Brother Jiang, I can give you the Pigu Dan, but for your body, I'm afraid I can't help you cleanse it. Rest for a while!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Bo's words, Jiang Yun was suddenly startled before a look of realization appeared on his face. Over the past month, he had been completely immersed in controlling spiritual energy. He slept when tired and continued when awake, but he hadn't felt hungry because whenever he was hungry, a Piguodan would appear on the ground beside him.
At that time, I didn't pay attention. I just knew to grab and eat it. Now that I think about it, it must have been Dongfang Bo who quietly prepared it for me.
Thank you, Master Brother!
Ginger's heart overflowed with gratitude. She quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Dongfang Bo.
"Don't be so modest, cultivation is important indeed, but one should also know when to stop. You, on the other hand, have quite the same style as your second senior sister! Go and wash up quickly!"
"Yes!"
As Jiang Yun rushed towards the stream to wash up, his second senior sister's voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Controlling spiritual energy cannot be achieved perfectly overnight. So you shouldn't worry too much about it now. If there are any unclear points about your techniques in the future, feel free to come and ask me!"
Jiang Yun hurriedly bowed in the direction the voice came from and said, "Thank you, second senior sister!"
Standing at the peak, Dongfang Bo smiled faintly, and in a voice only he could hear, said: "To be able to catch the eye of my second junior sister, hehe, Brother Jiang, you've got quite a bit of good fortune!"
