To reach the Qi practice stage in such a short time, Lin SuCi became the main focus of attention of Cardinal Sect.

Standing under a tree in the woods, Lin SuCi was in deep concentration. The thin rays of sun scattered through the leaves and fell on his body, and his eyelashes left slight shadows on his cheeks.

In his fingers was a yellow charm, and his ears twitched about vigilantly as he remained aware of his surroundings.

The wind rustled through the forest. The chirps of the insects along with the tweets of sparrows were the clearest things Lin SuCi could distinguish.

In the air, the flowing spiritual energy was indistinct, speeding through like a line that could not be grasped.

Lin SuCi scrunched up his nose, and remained motionless while narrowing his eyes.

The wind blew at Lin SuCi’s clothes, tugging at them. He stood majestically, unmoving, and counted his pulse. Bit by bit, he slowly followed the rhythm.

The wind whistled.

In an instant, Lin SuCi moved, and the charm in his hand turned into a fire dragon with a wave of his fingers, engulfing a paper spirit that brushed past him in flames.

A ball of fire fell to the ground, flickering for a bit before it gradually extinguished.

Only a burnt shred of paper the size of a fingernail was left on the ground.

Lin SuCi bent over and picked it up, dusting the ashes off it, and waved the shred of paper towards the southeast direction with a smile. His tone was triumphant, “I did it!”

Hidden by the trees in the distance, Yan Boshen slowly walked out.

His finger beckoned, and the shred of paper in Lin SuCi’s hand flew into his palm, then lit up flames and burned up.

“Not bad.”

After a month of studying, the strict teacher Yan Boshen finally praised Lin SuCi for once.

Hearing that, Lin SuCi’s eyes curved in a smile, his tail swayed back and forth, and he barely managed to push down his excitement, pretending to be composed, “I guess it’s like that. It’s so meaningless to be a talented person, learning things too quickly, and would not be able to enjoy the pleasure of failure.”

Yan Boshen glanced at Lin SuCi rather speechlessly. “…”

Lin SuCi gloated for a while, then urged him, “Let’s do it again, again!”

A month’s time had let him learn how to capture the flow of the spiritual energy in the air, and also learn how to identify and analyse the traces of other people’s spells and charms. Now, he was in the midst of enhancing what he had learnt, and Lin SuCi was very interested in the whole process, and so was very keen on it.

In his hand was a charm that Huilian taught him how to draw. The rough and shaky symbols on the charm had greatly lessened its effect, and naturally, it would not be very threatening. However, it was very suitable for practice usage.

Lin SuCi grabbed a charm that he had practised drawing himself, and to Yan Boshen, the tadpole-like handwriting was ghastly to see. He silently turned his head away and waved his fingers, then a brand new piece of paper spirit appeared spinning above his hand.

“Hey——”

Yan Boshen released the paper spirit, and the flow of the spiritual energy in the air sped up. The paper spirit whirled in the wind, circling deftly, then flew up and disappeared into the woods.

Yan Boshen crossed his arms and leaned against the tree trunk, looking silently at Lin SuCi.

His eyes roamed around, vigilantly holding on to the charm in his hand. His cat ears twitched, using his innate animal ability to distinguish all the sounds of his surroundings.
