Fire Lord Sofie

The symbols used were mostly simple and easy to make, with the only challenging part being able to create a large number of symbols and have them take the shape of a rabbit. All of this also needed to be done before the symbols dispersed into the air.

After all, the fire qi she used to create the symbols could only allow them to exist for so long...

Sofie slowly calmed herself down and closed her eyes, meditating before hand was a good idea and the qi spell even recommend the person to do this at the first try in using the qi spell. Reasoning that one would have better result with a calm mind.

Meditating, Sofie tried to slowly manipulate the fire qi inside of her dantian outside and slowly started forming the symbols need for the qi spell.

Sofie thought it would be easy enough to form the symbols, but it proved way harder than she imagined, just forming a quarter of the symbols need for the qi spell left her mentally exhausted and took around 30 minutes. How was she going to do it while fighting against someone?

Putting the idea of starting off with forming all the symbols and conjuring the fire rabbit away, Sofie let the gathering of symbols she formed disperse. All the symbols had dispersed into the surrounding environment, except one, Sofie really wanted to see how long it would be able to stay without dispersing.

With one symbol floating alone to the side, Sofie started focusing at the individual symbols instead of forming all of them at once.

Starting off with the easiest symbol, Sofie continued to only form that one symbol with her fire qi for the next 30 minutes.

The creation of the symbol before took around 15 seconds every symbol. Now Sofie could create around 30 symbols within that amount of time! The training of one symbol proved useful, so Sofie continued it until a few voices could be heard from the inside of the house.

Both Yue Wan and Xiao Yao had most likely returned from their earlier game of tag, Sofie looked up and saw the sun slowly starting to go down in the horizon.

Looking to the side, Sofie could see the small symbol she let stay still flickering with a soft glow. Around 2 hours had pa.s.sed since she started training, but the little symbol was still as active as ever.

Other than that, Sofie was inwardly surprised that Xiao Yao had chased Yue Wan for so long…

"Ah, here you are! Training a qi spell?" A voice came out from behind Sofie and as she turned around, Sofie saw the little face of Xiao Yao starring admiringly at the hundreds of small symbols floating around the air at random.

Weapon skills and qi spells were both strong in their own way, with weapon skill being slightly superior when it came to combat. This also resulted in many people abandoning qi spells later on, as they were less useful in combat and weapon skills were easier to master.

Even with all this some people still chose to focus on qi spells. The reason was quite simple, qi spells definitely ranked at the forefront in beauty and the difficulty of using qi spells compared to weapon skills also helped many people build patience and focus on a long-term goal.

Patience was an important thing for cultivators, as they might spend years in isolated cultivation and with the increase in cultivation realm. The time spent cultivating in isolation only increased.

"S-senior Xiao?" Sofie asked nervously, as she looked at Xiao Yao lost in the beauty of the softly glowing symbols.

"Ah, Sofie. You don"t need to call me senior, just call me Xiao Yao or Xiao." Xiao Yao answered gently, while her gaze never left the symbols floating around the small training ground.

"O-okay, X-Xiao…?" Still nervous, Sofie shyly called out Xiao Yao"s name.

"Yes, continue that, you definitely look cute like that. Now, want to get something to eat? It is almost night time and it doesn"t look like you had something to eat yet." Xiao Yao asked with a slightly excited voice.

"Y-y-yes!" Sofie answered without knowing anything, as she was still blushing heavily after Xiao Yao called her cute.

Recovering from the unexpected attack by Xiao Yao, Sofie remembered food being mentioned and her eyes started shinning brightly all of a sudden.

"Do we go now?" Seeming like a completely different person, Sofie ignored the surrounding symbols and almost charged in front of Xiao Yao, who was surprised at her new roommates" sudden enthusiasm.

"Y-yes, I"ll go in and prepare. After that we can go to the dinning hall and get something to eat." Still a little surprised over the change in behaviour from Sofie, Xiao Yao stuttered a bit while answering the question she asked.

"Yay~ I will go wait at the door!" Excited, Sofie soon left behind a bewildered Xiao Yao and disappeared from the small training ground making her way towards the front door of the house.

…

Entering the house, Sofie soon made it to the front entrance of the house.

"Sofie~" And just as she sat down on floor to wait for Xiao Yao, Yue Wan came out of her room upon hearing someone walking by.

Sofie did not even get to react as she was soon embraced from behind by Yue Wan, who did not show any willingness to let go of her anytime soon.

"S-senior sister Y-Yue Wan? D-do you need something?" Sofie looked back and starred at Yue Wan with a confused expression not knowing the reason she was suddenly embraced all of a sudden.

"Nothing~ I just wanted to hug you~" Yue Wan answered carefreely, as she closed her eyes while enjoying the current situation to its fullest.

"O-okay…? Senior sister Yue Wan, I heard from Xiao Yao that you managed to enter the sect before the recruitment because of a special talent and I was interested in what it is… C-can you tell me?" Sofie asked quietly, as her eyes dodged slightly to the side avoiding Yue Wans gaze.

Yue wan looked a little surprised at Sofie"s sudden question, but soon started giggling. "Haha, you don"t need to be so nervous Sofie~ I"m not going to eat you or anything~"

Sofie was still nervous but decided to calm down a little and nodded in response.

"Hmm… The special talent I have is my body, it is what you call a divine body. The divine body I have is called water moon divine body, it allows me to easier absorb water qi and cultivate faster. Anything else…? Hmm… Ah! That"s right, it also allows me to be more energetic!" Yue Wan said, as she happily swayed from side to side with Sofie tightly held in her embrace.

Sofie was amazed at the uses of her divine body. Cultivating faster! It was something simple, but also something everyone wanted. The last use of the divine body was though… Was questionable… Sofie did not know whether or not she believed it was due to the divine body or something else.

With a lot of things on her mind, Sofie leaned back and used Yue Wan as a giant plushie and slowly sank into her body.

It was a nice feeling and Sofie enjoyed it a lot, as she laid quietly in Yue Wan"s embrace. Waiting for Xiao Yao to arrive, she was growing more and more hungry by the second!
