Chapter 949: Chapter 949: A Difficult Choice of Gifts
Qin Sisi wrapped her arms around Ye You’s waist tenderly and said reproachfully, "That’s not what I meant. I mean, don’t let me affect your practice. Time is very important to you."
The longer time drags on, the more uncertainties there will be; who knows what schemes and plots Tian Xiaozi might have waiting for them.
Ye You didn’t respond; his eyes flickered, lost in thought.
After a long time, he pulled Qin Sisi up from his embrace, pressed on her shoulders, and spoke softly, "You might not want it, but I cannot withhold it."
After speaking, Ye You’s palm gently traced over the stone bed, leaving a neat row of pills where it passed.
Qin Sisi blinked and looked at them one by one; the brown pills emitted a faint glow, ten in total, each with a different color of halo.
Ye You explained, "These are Third Level Pills that enhance attribute Spiritual Power. It has been a month since I last gave you one. You can take the next one now. Choose for yourself which attribute you want to enhance first."
Qin Sisi looked at the ten pills surrounded by hazy halos, feeling like she was in front of a dazzling treasure trove. Each one was a rare gem, but unfortunately, she could only choose one.
This was indeed a difficult decision; she naturally wanted her weaker attributes to become stronger, while her already strong attributes she hoped to enhance even further.
Qin Sisi always thought she wasn’t greedy, but now suddenly felt that her lack of greed was because the attractions had not been strong enough.
She wanted every one of these ten attribute-enhancing pills.
Finally, she pouted gloomily and said to Ye You, "What if I want them all?"
Ye You laughed, fondly pinched Qin Sisi’s nose, and said, "You can’t be so greedy. No one can be perfect, and even I am not proficient in every type of Attribute Magic."
Qin Sisi suddenly realized she had never asked Ye You what his strongest Magic Attribute was and, curious, she immediately asked.
Ye You replied, "My strongest are Fire, Earth, and Thunder. I’m fairly good at Gold, Wood, and Illusion, but the others are just ordinary."
Qin Sisi knew that ’ordinary’ in Ye You’s terms was not ordinary at all but just a bit less exceptional compared to the other six.
Unable to make the decision herself, Qin Sisi asked Ye You to choose for her.
Ye You thought for a moment, picked up the first pill, and said to Qin Sisi, "Magic should not be about quantity but quality. It’s already difficult enough to master one to perfection."
He knew that becoming a Forging Master was one of Qin Sisi’s ambitions, so naturally, he wanted to help her fulfill that wish.
Qin Sisi watched as Ye You picked up a Golden Spirit Pill; the pill was surrounded by a faint black halo.
She admitted Ye You was right; time and energy are limited, and if one tries to master every type of magic, it would likely result in none being well practiced.
In her first year at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, ten types of Attribute Magic plus two auxiliary magics had to be learned, but only at a superficial level.
By the second year, one must choose according to their own circumstances which Magic Attribute to specialize in.
Given that Qin Sisi wished to become a Forging Master, specializing in Gold Attribute Magic was essential; thus, the choice Ye You made for her was the most appropriate.
Qin Sisi accepted Ye You’s advice, took the Golden Spirit Pill he held, then sat cross-legged to meditate, initiating Magic Source Rotation to absorb all the Spiritual Power contained in the Golden Spirit Pill.
Representing the Gold attribute, the black Crystal Core twinkled, its black light darkening the surrounding mist slightly.
Ye You put away the other pills; attribute-enhancing spirit pills should not be consumed in excess, with just one allowed per month.
Although he trusted Qin Sisi’s self-discipline, having many Spirit Power enhancing pills at hand would always be a temptation that could disturb one’s mental state; thus, Ye You felt giving Qin Sisi one pill a month was more prudent.
After receiving Ye You’s gift, Qin Sisi held Ye You’s hand in thanks, then asked about his plans for the next two days.
"Two days?" Ye You was slightly taken aback. Aren’t there three days for a break?
Qin Sisi hurriedly explained, "On the third day of the break, Teacher Yusha will be giving supplementary lessons because we activated the Illusion Attribute too late."
Ye You smiled helplessly;, "Alright, two days then. I can’t let Qin Sisi skip class to stay with me. The discipline at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle is very strict; they won’t allow such a thing to happen."
Moreover, since Qin Sisi had just activated the Illusion Attribute, she indeed needed more time to strengthen her Illusion Technique practice.
"Do you want to specialize in the Illusion Attribute later?" Ye You asked.
Qin Sisi hesitated and replied, "I haven’t decided yet; I’d like to hear your opinion."
Ye You thought for a moment and said, "Let’s wait and see. Illusion Magic Demonic Beasts live in warmer regions, and it might be difficult to find them in the current Holy Forest. However, there is a type of Demonic Beast that is easier to find now, which I think is just what you need."
"What type?" Qin Sisi asked curiously.
Ye You smiled slightly and said, "Earth Attribute. Fire gives birth to Earth; with Divine Fire aiding you, you should also be able to learn Earth Magic well. The weather is getting colder now, and many Earth Attribute Demonic Beasts burrow into the ground to hibernate, making them easy to catch."
Qin Sisi recalled her performance in the Earth Magic Course; it seemed she was indeed making fast progress. Recently, apart from Yun Cheng, few could surpass her.
It seemed she should also consider Earth Magic as a primary magic to specialize in.
Thus, Qin Sisi nodded and said loudly, "Okay, then let’s go catch Earth Attribute Demonic Beasts and gather Earth Attribute Magic Crystal Stones."
Ye You’s return this time was partly to meet Qin Sisi and relieve the pain of longing; the other part, of course, was to help her acquire more resources.
Magic Crystal Stones often fetched a high price, and not even a large number of Spirit Stones could guarantee purchasing the right ones—it was better to hunt the Demonic Beasts themselves.
With him, a Level Five Magic Spirit, guarding her, those Second and Third Order Demonic Beasts couldn’t possibly hurt Qin Sisi.
The Holy Forest was managed by Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, and the top management was aware of his existence. As long as he didn’t go too far, they wouldn’t interfere with him.
Ye You led Qin Sisi deep into the Holy Forest, observing the ground carefully as they walked. Demonic Beasts hibernating would burrow underground, and although they would cleverly disguise themselves, there were always some traces left.
The area Ye You had chosen was where Second and Third Order Demonic Beasts resided. First Order Demonic Beast’s Magic Crystal Stones were too ineffective for Qin Sisi, and those of a higher level were unusable by her, making the habitat of Second and Third Order Demonic Beasts the best choice.
