Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Evolution of the Magic Source_1
Qin Sisi finished her bath and realised it was now past four in the morning. She would have to wait until the following night to summon Lan Di for help again.
After a busy night, Qin Sisi also felt exhausted, so she snuggled into bed with Ye You to rest.
They woke at noon the next day, had a late breakfast, and Ye You then handed a pill, shimring with silver light and wrapped in spiritual energy, to Qin Sisi.
"A Soul Pill!" Qin Sisi cried out in delight.
She had taken one before, which Ye You had created from part of the soul of the fierce ghost in the blue and white porcelain and so herbs. After taking it, her Magic Source turned from white to a light yellow color.
Ye You had called this the evolution of the Magic Source.
Watching Qin Sisi’s excited expression, Ye You explained in a gentle voice, "This one is made from the soul of Yuan Lishu. There’s also one made from the soul of Hei Shan. But the evolution of the Magic Source needs to be gradual. Over-eagerness would undermine its foundation. So, take this pill first and wait a couple of months before taking the next one."
Qin Sisi nodded repeatedly, gazing at Ye You with gratitude. "Thank you for your hard work," she said.
Ye You chuckled, patting Qin Sisi’s head fondly, and murmured, "Silly."
Their eyes t and held, filled with warmth.
Ye You looked away first, drew a deep breath, and spoke in a serious voice, "First, use your magic to observe your Magic Source and note any changes."
"Okay," Qin Sisi agreed. She crossed her legs, closed her eyes, steadied her breath and concentrated, trying to call upon her magic power internally, flowing along her ridians, searching for her Magic Source.
With practice ca proficiency. Having done this a few tis before, Qin Sisi quickly located her Magic Source near her navel. It still resembled a cross-section of the Milky Way, rotating slowly with a dazzling radiance.
Qin Sisi rembered after swallowing the Soul Pill — made from the fierce ghost’s soul — Ye You had asked her to observe her Magic Source. She had then discovered that her Magic Source had turned from white to a light yellow color.
Looking closely again, Qin Sisi now felt the light yellow color had deepened sowhat, and in the interior of her Magic Source, a tiny red dot had faintly appeared.
Slowly withdrawing her magic power, Qin Sisi opened her eyes and told Ye You about the changes in her Magic Source.
Ye You nodded approvingly. "Very good. The deepening color shows your Magic Source has strengthened from continuous use and practice of magic. The small red dot symbolizes your fire magic," he explained.
Qin Sisi thought for a mont before asking, "So, why didn’t I see the small red dot that represents fire magic last ti?"
Ye You explained, "The small red dot appears in the Magic Source as soon as fire magic is activated. If you didn’t see it last ti, it’s likely because the fire magic was of a very low level, or your magic power was too weak to examine your Magic Source in detail."
Qin Sisi nodded, saying clearly, "I get it now. As long as I keep practicing, my magic power will beco stronger and stronger, the Magic Source will also beco stronger, and the small red dot will also beco more apparent, right?"
"Right," Ye You confird with a hearty response. Then he placed the Soul Pill in Qin Sisi’s palm, signaling her to take it.
Qin Sisi glanced at Ye You, then at the Soul Pill. She gave an enigmatic smile, opened her mouth and swallowed the pill swiftly.
Ye You said in a deep voice, "Now, imdiately channel your magic power and direct the Soul Pill into your Magic Source."
Qin Sisi did as instructed. She sat cross-legged, eyes closed, breaths stilled, concentrated, and found the Soul Pill within her body using her magic power. She then guided it slowly toward her Magic Source.
However, the Soul Pill possessed a certain sentient nature, and it seed unwilling to be controlled by Qin Sisi’s magic power, hence moving at an incredibly slow pace.
Only with great difficulty did Qin Sisi manage to move this disobedient Soul Pill to the edge of the Magic Source. Sensing it was about to dissolve, the Soul Pill resisted fiercely, stalled at the border of the Magic Source and refused to move even a bit further.
Qin Sisi tried repeatedly to channel her magic power to drive the Soul Pill towards her Magic Source, which led to a stalemate between the two.
Just then, an overpowering magic force from outside entered Qin Sisi’s body. This force carried a sky-blue radiance. It surged along Sisi’s ridians and quickly reached the edge of the Magic Source.
The blue magic power combined with Qin Sisi’s magic power, launching a powerful strike on the Soul Pill.
The Soul Pill finally gave in, getting pushed into the interior of the Magic Source.
The blue magic power guided Qin Sisi’s magic power, both persistently driving the Magic Source.
The initially slow-turning, light-yellow Magic Source began to revolve faster under the drive of the magic power, and its speed kept increasing.
The Soul Pill forced into the Magic Source gradually integrated into it amid the high-speed rotation.
By now, Qin Sisi was completely drained. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, and her magic power was ebbing, well past its peak strength.
At the sa ti, the blue magic power too beca gentle and slowly left Qin Sisi’s body.
But, it didn’t matter anymore since the Soul Pill had successfully rged with her Magic Source.
To her delight, Qin Sisi observed that her Magic Source had undergone another transformation.
Previously, the yellow was very light and faint, akin to a thin layer of gauze.
Now, the yellow was gradually intensifying, finally turning into a vibrant, deep yellow color.
Sisi exhaled and drew back her magic power. She then opened her eyes and related the changes of her Magic Source to Ye You.
A smile sparkled in Ye You’s eyes as he said gently, "Congratulations, you are now a qualified magic apprentice."
Qin Sisi, a little disappointed, replied, "Still just a magic apprentice!"
Ye You stifled a laugh, responding, "You’ve made rapid progress already, isn’t that enough?"
A little embarrassed, Qin Sisi scratched her head, replying, "But you said I was a magic apprentice last ti too."
Ye You patiently explained once again, "Last ti you had just beco a magic apprentice, which is why the yellow color in your Magic Source was very light. Now you’re truly a qualified one."
Qin Sisi thought a mont before asking, "Does each color represent a different level?"
"Yes," Ye You replied.
"Is your Magic Source blue?" Qin Sisi asked, referring to the strong blue magic power that had helped push the Soul Pill into the Magic Source.
"Yes," was the answer.
Qin Sisi asked a few more questions, finally reconciling herself with her still very junior status as a magic apprentice.
Seeing her progress did give her a sense of accomplishnt, and Qin Sisi believed her future held more than rely remaining a magic apprentice.
