Chapter 2 Transferring to the Ancient Capital
Chapter 2 Transferring to the Ancient Capital
Mo Fan looked up and immediately met Chen Qing's gaze. He said awkwardly, "Keep it a secret for me."
Chen Qing nodded, and Mo Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, Mo Fan remembered that Chen Qing had awakened the light element, and couldn't help but look at him with pity.
Chen Qing rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Mind your own business first!"
Mo Fan was the last to awaken. After watching the excitement, everyone returned to the classroom, and soon a teacher came in to teach everyone how to perform their first meditation.
"Meditation is the only way for mages to enhance their power. You have now successfully awakened. Next, you should control the stars and complete your first spellcasting. And controlling the stars is..."
The teacher on the podium was lecturing on theoretical knowledge, but Chen Qing didn't listen much. His parents were both intermediate-level mages, and he had been exposed to meditation since childhood.
Now, his attention is entirely focused on the internal cultivation techniques in the world of Divine Condor.
In The Return of the Condor Heroes, he was born into the Quanzhen Sect, but he was not very talented and was just a menial disciple. After receiving the amplification from the shared space, his talent doubled, which allowed him to cultivate internal energy and become proficient in Quanzhen internal energy and swordsmanship.
What Chen Qing wanted to test was whether internal energy cultivation could also be practiced in his world.
The Quanzhen School's teachings are characterized by moderation, balance, and effortless mastery, making them ideal for laying the foundation for newcomers.
He began, following his memory, to take the first step in refining his internal energy: drawing qi into his body.
The Quanzhen Martial Arts emphasizes the cultivation of both internal and external strength. It uses a special breathing frequency and footwork to cultivate the first trace of internal energy. Chen Qing is now simply following the breathing of internal energy. After a while, he felt a warm current flowing in his lower abdomen.
He was utterly astonished: He'd already cultivated internal energy so directly?!
But how come he remembered that in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes, it took him five whole years to refine his first strand of internal energy? Isn't internal energy quite difficult to cultivate?
Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The talent boost from the shared space is truly amazing. I guess I'm a little genius now!"
The next moment, Chen Qing suddenly sensed that the wisp of internal energy that had just been generated in his dantian had disappeared. Before he could examine it closely, he immersed himself in his spiritual world and was surprised to find that although his light-element stardust was barely perceptible, it had indeed expanded outward a little!
He was astonished to discover: "The internal energy cultivation techniques of the Condor Heroes world can actually assist in the cultivation of magic, and the efficiency is several times higher than that of simple meditation, perhaps even comparable to using Stardust Magic Artifacts!"
If the basic internal energy cultivation method of the Quanzhen Sect is so powerful, what about the Nine Yin Manual?!
At this moment, Chen Qing couldn't wait to urge his character in The Return of the Condor Heroes to hurry up and go down into the tomb to find the incomplete Nine Yin Manual.
The Nine Yin Manual in the ancient tomb is incomplete, lacking the general outline and many martial arts techniques. However, Chen Qing remembers that there is a "Soul Transfer Technique" in it, which is an extremely rare martial art related to spiritual power in Jin Yong's martial arts world. And the entire world of martial arts cultivates spiritual power.
Magic, from the basic to the advanced, from stardust to the starry sea, is entirely dependent on the spiritual world.
If he could obtain a method for cultivating spiritual power, the benefits to his cultivation would be self-evident.
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Qing looked at the seven mischievous stars within the stardust. He knew his immediate priority was to control the stars so they could unleash magic.
"But... this light element is indeed a bit weak in the early stages, making it difficult to transition." Chen Qing had a headache.
……
Three months later, Chen Qing carefully placed the seventh star into the correct orbit.
"Radiant Purification!"
He finally succeeded in casting the first-level, beginner-grade light magic, Radiant Purification!
With the triple talent boost from the shared space and the advantage of his internal strength, Chen Qing completed his first magic release in just three months.
Unlike other light-based mages whose radiance is merely a large flashlight, his light, amplified threefold, imbued the pure light with a touch of heat.
It's important to know that light itself is a form of energy.
Even a nascent radiance can undergo a qualitative change through quantitative change. Chen Qing dared to say that if we only consider the power of the radiance at this moment, it would probably be comparable to a nascent level three fire.
He was very satisfied with this.
However... Bo City was ultimately not the most suitable place for him.
He arrived at the principal's office of Tianlan Magic High School:
"Knock knock knock!"
"Please come in," Principal Zhu's voice came.
Chen Qing walked in and handed a stack of transfer applications to Principal Zhu.
"Transferring schools... You've been bringing this up with me for the past two months, but you know we live in a small town, and going to a big city like an ancient capital is always difficult—are you sure you've thought it through?"
Chen Qing nodded without hesitation: "I awakened the Light element, and I can only achieve better development in the ancient capital. Don't worry, Principal, no matter where I go, I will always remember that I am from Bocheng and a member of Tianlan."
Seeing this, Principal Zhu stopped trying to persuade him: "Because of your parents, Master Wei from the ancient capital is very fond of you. He said that if you go, he would be willing to recommend you to transfer to a local middle school. However, you may need to do some work as well. You..."
"No problem!" Chen Qing nodded. "I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. You have to give before you can receive. I'm already very grateful that Principal Zhu could help me get this opportunity."
Principal Zhu sighed: "After all, your parents have been friends with me for many years. If they can help me, they certainly will."
Chen Qing kept this kindness deeply in her heart.
……
The procedures were completed quickly, and Chen Qing was about to transfer to a school in the ancient capital.
At the station, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou both came to see him off.
Zhang Xiaohou said with a bitter face, "Brother Qing, if you leave, won't the Three Musketeers be scattered? Will we ever see each other again, Brother Qing?"
Mo Fan rolled his eyes at him: "Monkey, are you stupid? Lao Qing's school registration is with Tianlan, but he'll still come back to take the college entrance exam."
Chen Qing smiled: "Mo Fan is right. Don't worry, there's plenty of time."
"Brother Qing, you're right... wait, no," Zhang Xiaohou suddenly shouted, "Look who's that!"
Following his gaze, Chen Qing looked over and was immediately stunned.
A stunningly beautiful young woman walked slowly towards them, her aloofness like frost, standing proudly like an eternally blooming ice lotus, her beauty dazzling and beyond compare.
"Mu...Mu Ningxue?" Chen Qing asked incredulously.
Although he knew that Mu Ningxue was already beautiful when she was a child, he never expected that she would not change at all after growing up. She grew up in the same proportion, and even became more beautiful because she lost her childishness!
Mu Ningxue was no longer as clingy as she had been as a child, and coldly asked, "Are you going to the ancient capital?"
Chen Qing snapped out of his daze and nodded.
"Bon Voyage."
Mu Ningxue didn't say much, but her voice was as beautiful as the most exquisite seven-stringed zither in the world, only this beautiful music carried a chilling coldness.
