Chapter 936: Chapter 936: The Timely Rain’s Gift
This uncomfortable feeling had lingered in Ya Ling’s heart for quite some time, making it hard for her to calm down for Alchemy and gradually losing her interest in the art of Alchemy.
The last Magic course was the art of forging, and after Qin Sisi expressed her wish to become a Forging Master, Teacher Wuduo clearly showed her a lot of care.
Qin Sisi did not disappoint him, allocating time to practice every day, continuously improving her skill in forging. The longswords she created each class were of better quality than those of the last, which made Teacher Wuduo very satisfied.
Seeing the special attention Teacher Wuduo paid to Qin Sisi made Ya Ling feel even more unbalanced inside. She always felt that the teachers were favoring Qin Sisi just to please Ye You, acting like a bunch of opportunists.
Forging can create powerful weapons, as well as defensive garments and jewelry, but all these things can be bought with Spirit Stones.
In Ya Ling’s view, forging wasn’t all that useful. Coupled with her dissatisfaction, she became even more indifferent during the classes.
In the blink of an eye, another round of studies came to an end. On the first day of the break, Qin Sisi sold the longswords she had forged in her spare time at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle over the past half-month at the Testing Gold Pavilion, accompanied by Yun Cheng and Xiao Meng, and then bought some Raw Iron to bring back.
Then, the three of them went together to the Panhu family’s stronghold, where they had lunch.
After lunch, Yun Wang took Qin Sisi to the study on the upper floor, gave her Ye You’s letters and gifts, and prepared paper and pen for Qin Sisi before tactfully excusing himself.
Qin Sisi first secured the gift, ready to read the letter. Holding Ye You’s letter in her hands and not yet having opened it, she felt her heartbeat starting to speed up.
She held the letter close to her chest and took several deep breaths before slowly unfolding the folded letter, pricking her fingertip and dripping a drop of blood onto it.
As the blood was absorbed, the writing on the letter gradually appeared.
The content of the letter was both calm and sweet. Ye You described his current surroundings—the beautiful yet dangerous landscapes of Biyuan Forest and its various strange Demonic Beasts.
However, Ye You assured Qin Sisi that he would stay in safer areas, trying his best not to get close to places where High-level Demonic Beasts congregated.
The sweet nothings seemed to be less than last time, yet Qin Sisi could feel the deliberately suppressed deep affection between the lines.
She read the letter several times before finally sitting at the desk to write a reply to Ye You.
She first described her recent experiences in learning magic, what she was good at, what she was weak in, and the difficulties she faced, writing them all down earnestly.
Between them, there was no need only to share good news and hide the bad. Ye You was well aware of her situation; studying at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle was no easy pleasure, so honest communication was the best policy.
Then she thanked Ye You for his gift, praising that it was very timely and exactly what she needed.
The last line of the letter was brief—just two words: Miss you.
After folding the letter, Qin Sisi took Ye You’s gift out of the storage ring and carefully examined it in her palm, her lips unconsciously curving into a smile.
The gift was two third-level Magic Crystals, one with Illusion Attribute, one with Ice Attribute, and a pill that enhances attribute spirit power.
The pill was also third-level, named Golden Spirit Pill, which could enhance Gold Attribute Magic Power. With five clear wave-like patterns on the pill, it was evident that the pill was of Perfect level.
Perfect level Spirit Pills are incredibly difficult to concoct, as they require a harmonious alignment of the right time, place, and people.
Similarly, the effects of perfect level Spirit Pills are the best, incomparable to those of lower grades.
Qin Sisi heard from Teacher Mo Liu that Spirit Pills for enhancing attribute spiritual power should only be taken once a month, to give the Magic Source time to merge and adapt.
Ye You certainly knew this, which is why he gave her only one pill.
Currently, Qin Sisi has yet to activate her Illusion Attribute, finds the Ice Magic course most challenging, and wishes to greatly improve her Gold Attribute; Ye You’s gifts are truly a timely blessing.
Later, she went downstairs and handed over the letter to Yun Wang, asking him to transfer it to Ye You after applying magic to it.
In the afternoon, the three of them returned to Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
That evening, Qin Sisi took the perfect level Golden Spirit Pill and absorbed a third-level Ice Attribute Magic Crystal Stone. A significant disturbance arose within her long-quiet Magic Source, causing Qin Sisi to feel waves of tearing pain in her abdomen.
Enduring the pain, she concentrated her Divine Sense into the Magic Source to inspect it, only to see that near the black crystal core representing the Gold Attribute and the white crystal core representing the Ice Attribute, small whirlpools had formed.
These whirlpools surged with abundant attribute spiritual power, which the crystal cores absorbed bit by bit.
An hour later, the whirlpools near the crystal cores gradually disappeared, and the black and white cores flickered dazzlingly several times.
Qin Sisi slowly opened her eyes, her gaze serene and radiant like autumn waters.
During the two-day break that followed, Qin Sisi didn’t go out but continuously practiced various magic skills in the trial tower and used her evenings to practice forging with the Jiu Hua Divine Cauldron, keeping her schedule entirely full.
The three-day rest flew by in the blink of an eye, and the fifth round of learning began.
In the Golden Magic course, the review lesson for the Vigor Gold Knife, Teacher Wuduo required that seventy stones be split.
After absorbing many Gold Attribute Magic Crystals, Qin Sisi’s Gold attribute spirit power had greatly improved, and taking a third-level perfect grade Golden Spirit Pill this time caused her power to advance by leaps and bounds.
Everyone struggled with the seventy stones until dusk, but Qin Sisi finished the task first, leaving the three high-level magic teachers behind.
Everyone looked at her with disbelief, and Ya Ling, who couldn’t help but think Qin Sisi cheated, opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it again.
For the Wood Magic course, they still had to go to Luoying Forest on Tianmu Mountain. They were to capture iron mane boars using the Inescapable Net magic skill, then wound them with the Vigor Gold Knife, and finally, heal their injuries with the Grass Shines Sunshine healing skills.
However, this time, Teacher Ru Lin had them fight on their own instead of in teams.
This meant the difficulty increased significantly, with the struggle against the strength of iron mane boars shifting from three people to just one.
To be on the safe side, Ru Lin modestly increased the task by only ten; each person needed to deal with thirty iron mane boars in total to complete it.
Before entering Luoying Forest, Ru Lin specifically said to Qin Sisi, "Actually, the ranking in one lesson doesn’t mean much, a gap of one or two seconds is not a real gap, and I regret to inform you, you can’t use the Wings of Rainbow for your return trip."
Although she rebelled against Yu Sha’s remarks during the meeting, after careful consideration, Ru Lin decided to make a temporary compromise.
