Virtuous and kind!
Well, whether you believe it or not, we ourselves have to believe it.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang both averted their gazes, slightly turning their heads away, afraid they might lose control of their expressions. They might believe anyone else if they said she was virtuous, but when Rong Xi claimed to be virtuous, they both had only one thought: The Fujin (wife of Rong Xi) is truly shameless!
"Granny Rui, hurry up and make a trip to the Imperial Clan Court!"
"This servant obeys!"
What else could Granny Rui say? Naturally, she obediently took the memorial requesting an official appointment and headed straight for the Imperial Clan Court.
"Granny Xiang, now that I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, can I start learning some magic spells?"
After Granny Rui left, Rong Xi looked at Granny Xiang, intending to learn a few minor spells from her. Even though a Foundation Establishment cultivator is the lowest level of cultivation, they are still cultivators; they should at least know some magic!
This is similar to a student who has passed the imperial examinations. Although he has not yet passed the county-level examinations, he can at least compose poems and write beautiful calligraphy.
Can a cultivator who doesn't know magic be considered a cultivator?
"That's natural!"
Granny Xiang smiled slightly and said, "But, I wonder what kind of magic the Princess Consort wishes to learn? There are countless magics, but you must learn one that suits you; otherwise, you'll achieve twice the result with half the effort. Although you possess the five spiritual roots, theoretically you can cultivate all five elements' magics, even some magics with variations of the five elements. However, don't bite off more than you can chew!"
"It's alright, it's alright. As long as it's magic, whatever it is, it's always good to learn it first and master more magic!"
Rong Xi's goal is to become an all-around cultivator, so naturally she wants to learn more spells; after all, it's always good to have more skills. But now, judging from what Granny Xiang is saying, learning too many spells doesn't seem to be a good thing.
"Granny Xiang, why don't you teach me a few of the spells you know?"
"Let me try it first and see how good my aptitude is for magic?"
Rong Xi is now really eager to learn some magic techniques.
With the help of her troublesome system, she seemed to have no bottlenecks in her cultivation. But Rong Xi was very uncertain about learning magic.
"This servant will do her best!"
Granny Xiang immediately began to teach Rong Xi the techniques that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could master.
Granny Xiang possesses dual spiritual roots of wood and fire, and the techniques she masters are mainly of the wood and fire attributes. Naturally, she can only teach Rong Xi these two types of techniques.
"Fire Control Technique!"
"The Wood Control Technique!"
"These two techniques are the foundation for mastering fire-attribute and wood-attribute techniques. Your Highness, you can try practicing these two techniques first. If you succeed, I will then teach you the specific applications of these techniques!"
Granny Xiang was still very responsible.
He explained the fire control technique and wood control method to Rong Xi in detail before setting them aside to watch Rong Xi begin her practice.
Fire control, as the name suggests, refers to the ability to control flames. However, in reality, fire control is about controlling the fire-attribute spiritual energy in the world, locking onto the fire-attribute spiritual energy from the five elements and making it work for oneself.
"Granny Xiang, is that right?"
With a thought, Rong Xi conjured two swaying flame flowers in her hands.
"!!!"
When Granny Xiang first saw the two flame flowers in Rong Xi's hand, she was completely dumbfounded. She was, after all, a Golden Core cultivator; what kind of genius hadn't she seen? Yet, even someone with a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root couldn't do what she was seeing when first sensing fire-attribute spiritual energy.
"Isn't that right?"
Rong Xi blinked, and with a thought, the two flame flowers in her hands instantly dissipated. The next moment, she held two huge fireballs in her hands.
"No, no, it's not that it's wrong, it's just that..."
Granny Xiang didn't know how to describe her shock. The level of control over this fire-attribute spiritual energy was no less than, and perhaps even greater than, that of a Golden Core cultivator like herself.
genius!
Ah, no, this is a miracle!
"Madam, please try the Wood Control Technique again!"
The aunt Xiang, who was shocked by Rong Xi's talent, took a long time to come back to her senses and then called on Rong Xi to try the Wood Control Technique.
The Wood Control Technique differs from the Fire Control Technique. The Wood Control Technique mobilizes the wood-attribute spiritual energy between heaven and earth to catalyze, strengthen, and even guide mutations in various plants.
Of the Five Elements techniques, those based on the Fire and Earth elements are the easiest to master. The other three types are correspondingly more difficult to learn.
However, Rong Xi still easily mastered the Wood Control Technique.
As she connected with the wood-elemental spiritual energy, a peony in the courtyard grew several times its original size in a short time, from just over two feet tall to a peony tree over ten feet tall.
Even the blooming peonies underwent a transformation under the catalysis of this wood-attribute spiritual energy, blossoming with thousands of petals and filling the garden with a unique fragrance.
Seeing this scene, Granny Xiang's admiration for Rong Xi was like a surging river, never-ending!
When she first mastered the Wood Control Technique, she only managed to make a small grass grow about two inches.
This is truly a case of "comparison is the thief of joy!"
At the time, the old woman who taught her the practice said that she had a bright future in the art of wood magic.
But compared to Rong Xi, her future prospects were like heaven and earth. Clearly, Granny Xiang was on earth, while Rong Xi was in heaven, perhaps even in the highest heavens.
"Madam!"
"What's wrong?"
Although Rong Xi didn't know exactly how good her aptitude was, looking at Granny Xiang's shocked expression and at the peony tree that she had nurtured to grow, she guessed that her aptitude must be quite good.
"Your Highness, your talent is something I have never heard of or seen before. Such talent is probably comparable to those genius cultivators in history!"
The true aptitude of cultivation prodigies is only known through rumors; the reality remains a subject of speculation and imagination. However, it is undeniable that while the early stages of cultivation presented a harsh environment, the world was also rich in rare and precious treasures. Cultivators of that era undoubtedly possessed unparalleled resources for cultivation, resources far superior to those available to cultivators today.
"So, this princess is quite talented?"
"Not just good, it's exceptionally good, better than you can imagine!"
Granny Xiang was very excited; her choice had ultimately been right. Following such a promising master, her future was bound to be bright.
"Once Granny Rui returns, you can try out the aptitude for the other three spells!"
Granny Rui possesses the three spiritual roots of metal, earth, and water.
"Granny Xiang, can I start learning specific spells now?"
"That's natural! However, this servant doesn't know many magical techniques. You can go to Prince's study, where there should be more comprehensive magical texts!"
Granny Xiang spoke in a low voice.
Rong Xi chuckled and said, "There's no rush. I don't have a token that allows me to freely enter and leave the study yet!"
