"Now, your master will teach you some simple spells first."
"Look, these are 'Fireball' and 'Ice Arrow'. These two spells are relatively basic, easy to learn, and very useful in actual combat."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll start with these two!"
Qing Xuanzi nodded and said, "Let's start by learning to read." He opened the manual, pointed to the characters, and asked Rong Jiaojiao, "What characters do you still not recognize?"
Rong Jiaojiao pointed out the characters she didn't recognize: "This one, this one, and these ones, there are so many of them I don't know."
Qing Xuanzi helped her sit down and began to teach Rong Jiaojiao to recognize characters one by one. His voice was gentle and patient, and he explained each character in great detail.
The afternoon passed quickly, and in the evening, Qing Xuanzi took out thirteen spirit crystals and gave them to Rong Jiaojiao, saying, "Jiaojiao, these are fossils formed from the eggs of the Spirit Devouring Insect. Your master calls them spirit crystals. They contain pure spiritual energy, which is perfect for you to use to hone your foundation. Come, let your master teach you how to use them."
As Rong Jiaojiao looked at the things in Qing Xuanzi's hands, she recalled a small spirit crystal that was found inside a withered tree in the secret realm.
With that thought in mind, she threw the tree root from the secret realm into the courtyard the next instant.
The sudden appearance of the giant tree root startled Qing Xuanzi. After seeing what it was, he quickly activated the formation in the courtyard.
Then he said seriously to Rong Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, this is not our original valley. Remember not to suddenly take out things like this in the future."
Rong Jiaojiao was frightened by his serious appearance, tears welled up in her eyes, and she nodded with her lips pursed.
Qing Xuanzi did not comfort her out of pity, but continued to teach her seriously: "There are people here who are more powerful than your master. If they find out that you have a treasure, and if anyone has evil intentions, your master may not be able to protect you even if he risks his life."
"So, don't bring out such good things anymore, remember that."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Master, I understand."
Qing Xuanzi finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did you take it out?"
Rong Jiaojiao pointed to the tree roots and said, "There are many spirit crystals inside."
Qing Xuanzi was overjoyed: "Really?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Really!"
Qing Xuanzi then instructed, "Jiaojiao, in the future, if you want something, don't take out so much. If possible, just take out spirit crystals."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Master, Jiaojiao can do it."
As she spoke, she put the tree root back into the small secret realm. Once inside, the tree root instantly shattered into countless small fragments under Rong Jiaojiao's will, and the spirit crystals were separated one by one.
Before long, several hundred spirit crystals were piled up on the table in front of Qing Xuanzi.
Qing Xuanzi examined them carefully and found that most of them had already become fossils, while a small portion seemed to be on the verge of turning into fossils.
He guessed that it might be because Rong Jiaojiao had taken a small spiritual vein and put it into her treasure artifact, causing these insect eggs to turn into fossils.
He selected the spirit crystals and handed them to Rong Jiaojiao, saying happily, "Jiaojiao, you will use these for cultivation from now on. After each cultivation session, put them back into those tree roots to nourish them. Use them again when they are full of spiritual energy. In the future, your cultivation will definitely be more solid and profound than others."
Rong Jiaojiao gave half of her food to her master, saying, "Master, you can use it too."
Qing Xuanzi was about to refuse, but then he remembered that he had many dead insect eggs. He took them out and said, "Jiaobao, can you help your master put these into the tree roots to nurture them and see if it can promote their transformation?"
"good."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, took the dead insect eggs from Qing Xuanzi's hand, closed her eyes, and began to use her mind to place the insect eggs into the tree roots of the small secret realm.
Despite Rong Jiaojiao's insistence, the two continued to cultivate using spirit crystals separately. However, Qing Xuanzi only used a small portion, as the focus now was on Rong Jiaojiao's foundation.
Following the method taught by Qing Xuanzi, she held the spirit crystal in her hand and then guided the spiritual energy within it to merge with the spiritual energy in the crystal.
She discovered that the spiritual energy within the spirit crystal was extremely pure, which greatly helped her stabilize her cultivation.
After finishing her cultivation, Rong Jiaojiao placed all the spirit crystals back into the tree roots of the small secret realm to nurture them.
The next day, in order to have more time to teach Rong Jiaojiao, Qing Xuanzi took out two extinct spiritual herbs and handed them over to the sect as a sect mission.
In the days that followed, Qing Xuanzi focused on teaching Rong Jiaojiao how to practice magic, draw talismans, and cultivate.
Qing Xuanzi not only had Rong Jiaojiao use spirit crystals to cultivate, but he also gave her the remaining wood essence to consume. With the help of both, Rong Jiaojiao's cultivation improved rapidly, yet it was not superficial at all, which pleased Qing Xuanzi greatly.
She began to devote more of her energy to the practice of magic.
Rong Jiaojiao began to seriously study the "Basic Spell Cultivation Manual", starting with "Fireball Spell" and "Ice Arrow Spell", and gradually mastered the cultivation techniques of spells.
She discovered that cultivating magic was much more difficult than she had imagined. It not only required precise control of the flow of vital energy, but also the ability to condense the vital energy into a specific form in an instant.
The "Fireball" spell requires condensing vital energy into a fireball, while the "Ice Arrow" spell requires condensing vital energy into an ice arrow.
Although the two techniques are similar in principle, they are quite different in practice.
Rong Jiaojiao encountered many difficulties during her cultivation, and Qing Xuanzi stayed by her side, patiently guiding her.
Whenever Rong Jiaojiao encountered difficulties, he would provide timely assistance, enabling her to better understand and master the essence of the technique.
After several days of diligent practice, Rong Jiaojiao finally mastered the "Fireball Technique" and the "Ice Arrow Technique".
She could feel that her ability to control her vital energy had greatly improved during the cultivation process, which filled her with confidence for future cultivation.
"Master, I succeeded!" Rong Jiaojiao conjured a fireball in her hand, and then an ice arrow.
Qing Xuanzi smiled slightly and said, "Very good, you have made rapid progress. Now that you have mastered the basic spells, you can begin to learn more advanced spells."
"Once you can accurately control your spiritual power, your master can teach you how to draw talismans."
…………
Two years later, in the bamboo grove courtyard, Qing Xuanzi went out after receiving a message from the sect leader. When he returned, he looked at Rong Jiaojiao, who had already reached the mid-stage of the Mage Realm, and said, "Jiaojiao, suppress your cultivation to the late stage of the Dao Realm. Let's go to your grandmaster's place."
"It's Master."
Rong Jiaojiao, who was almost six years old, had a clear and crisp voice. With a thought, her spiritual energy slowly circulated within her body. After a while, her breathing gradually stabilized, and her cultivation level was successfully suppressed to the late stage of the Dao Realm.
Qing Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, let's go!"
Knowing how powerful Rong Jiaojiao's treasure was, he felt at ease taking her out with him.
