This fluctuation is extremely weak, nearly nonexistent.
But as time progresses, the fluctuation becomes more noticeable.
"Is this... spiritual power?"
Chen Ye was shocked suddenly. Previously, Qing Jun couldn’t absorb spiritual power at all.
How did she suddenly break through to the first layer of Qi Cultivation?
That’s right, Qing Jun has now become a cultivator!
Initially, it was likely because the spiritual power was exhausted that Chen Ye didn’t sense its existence.
But after Qing Jun consumed the Rejuvenation Pill, under its effect, the spiritual power recovered somewhat, which allowed Chen Ye to detect it.
"Master... what happened to you?"
Qing Jun was startled by Chen Ye’s serious expression, and she gripped his sleeve nervously, her voice carrying a hint of timidity.
Chen Ye teased, "There’s good news and bad news. Qing Jun, which one do you want to hear?"
"Master is trying to bully Qing Jun again, Qing Jun doesn’t want to listen!"
The little girl covered her ears, showing she didn’t want to hear.
Darn it.
This girl has gotten smarter.
Chen Ye cleared his throat: "The bad news is, there is indeed something in Qing Jun’s stomach!"
Don’t look at the girl covering her ears,
Chen Ye was right in front of her, how could she not hear?
"Gulp!" The little girl let out a desperate wail.
Chen Ye paused slightly before saying:
"The good news is, this thing... is spiritual power, Qing Jun is now a cultivator at the first layer of Qi Cultivation!"
"First layer of Qi Cultivation? Hmph! Master must be bullying Qing Jun!"
Though she said so, the little girl secretly loosened her hands covering her ears.
"It’s true!" Chen Ye affirmed, "If you don’t believe me, operate the spiritual power as master taught you."
Qing Jun pursed her lips and mimicked her senior sister’s usual cultivation method, trying hard to sense the spiritual power.
Suddenly, she raised her small hand and shouted:
"Shoo shoo shoo shoo!"
In an instant,
A crystalline cold light spontaneously condensed in the surrounding air, then transformed into an ice spike, carrying a faint sound of breaking air, and shot crookedly towards the extinguished bonfire not far away!
"Poof!"
The ice spike pierced into a piece of charred wood, making a soft sound, and even managed to penetrate a bit!
"This... this is... Ice Condensation Needle?!"
Chen Ye’s smile froze instantly, replaced by a full face of bewilderment and shock!
Back then, he got the Water Element Shield and Ice Condensation Needle, two Tier One Upper Grade Water Series magic spells, from Kong Hongxuan’s Storage Bag.
Considering Zhiwei had just introduced Qi into the body, stepping into the first layer of Qi Cultivation, and with a Water Series spiritual root.
He taught these two magic spells to Zhiwei, hoping she could quickly master the means of defense and counterattack.
But he never expected that this girl, who was just a moment ago still confused and couldn’t even explain what spiritual power was, also performed Ice Condensation Needle!
Moreover, seeing her precise stance and the form of the condensed ice spike, she clearly had a certain understanding of this technique!
"Qing Jun, how... how do you know this magic?"
The White Furred Ball saw master’s peculiar expression and thought she did something wrong:
"Qing Jun watched when senior sister was learning... and once I had spiritual power, I just performed it!"
She tilted her small head, looking matter-of-fact as if it was the simplest thing ever.
Chen Ye: "..."
Just watched... and learned it?
It sounded easy, but this Ice Condensation Needle is a Tier One Upper Grade magic!
Even with experience in learning low tier magic, he couldn’t master these two magic spells just by looking!
"Master... did Qing Jun do something wrong?" Seeing Chen Ye silent for a long time, Qing Jun’s small face showed a sense of grievance, about to shed tears.
"No, no!"
Chen Ye snapped back, trying to stay calm,
"Qing Jun is amazing! Very amazing! More amazing than master imagined!"
The little girl sneakily glanced at Chen Ye: "More amazing than master?"
"?"
Chen Ye felt the little girl’s gaze was very familiar,
And something seemed off,
But Chen Ye couldn’t pinpoint what was off...
"Ahem, compared to master, still far off!" Chen Ye snorted.
"Is that so..." The little girl’s eyes had a dangerous gleam, seemingly plotting something mischievous.
Pesty girl!
Chen Ye hit her head with two quick taps.
The little girl cried out in pain, pitifully rubbing her head, her expression becoming clear.
Seeing the White Furred Ball looking angry but remaining silent,
Chen Ye sneered: "Little one, can you now see the gap between you and master?"
"Under... understands, master is very powerful... Qing Jun admires you!"
The little girl timidly twisted her fingers.
She’ll remember this grudge!
