Chapter 73 (2/2)

Claire didn’t waste any more time. She sat in the lotus position, closing her eyes, thinking back to the third level of the mental cultivation method in the Treasured Book of Lotuses, and started to cultivate.

No sound, no form, no I, no heart.

Claire only felt that she had entered a fantasy-like realm. Everything around her disappeared. Warmth, she only felt a strange warmth.

Being unconscious, Walter couldn’t see the faint golden glow around Claire’s body that looked so pure, so beautiful.

White Emperor, who had been lying down nearby, stared at Claire without moving.

After who knows how long, Claire finally opened her eyes. The golden glow instantly disappeared. A trace of a satisfied smile appeared on Claire’s lips. Fusing together Dou Qi and magic elements into the lotus power was extremely efficient. She was just missing a bit and almost able to comprehend the third level. It wasn’t that she couldn’t break through, but that Claire still didn’t want to have tribulation lightning here and destroy Camille’s house.

But Golden Lotus’s voice suddenly sounded in Claire’s mind. “Ma, the later on it is, the harder it is to break through. The level of magic and Dou Qi you have right now can at most help you quickly advance to the seventh level. Later, it’ll be harder. But don’t be afraid, I’ll block the tribulation lightning.”

“Can you change your address?” Claire said, somewhat helplessly.

But Golden turned a deaf ear to Claire’s protest. “Ma, goodnight.” After saying goodnight, it fell silent.

Claire was a little speechless, completely unable to handle Golden Lotus. She slowly closed her eyes, a slight smile appearing on her lips. Now with her eyes closed, the area she could sense was even farther. It was now dusk outside. She slowly expanded her consciousness, passing through the aisle to the main hall. She could actually sense the situation in the main hall. Everybody was preparing to eat, but Summer muttered, why hasn’t Claire finished meditating yet, did she need to go and call her or something? But Camille blocked her, saying that it’s best to not bother a magician meditating.

Claire’s shock was endless. She had only cultivated to the third level and was already this abnormal, so what about later? This is a spiritual sense? The phrase suddenly popped up in Claire’s head, but immediately disappeared.

The next moment, Camille, Jean, and Ben all felt something strange.

“Why do I feel like someone is watching?” Camille turned and looked around in confusion, but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

“I also feel like somebody’s watching us.” Ben snorted and said in a bad mood.

Jean watched the surroundings alertly, but was also unable to discover any clues.

Satisfied, Claire slowly withdrew her consciousness. She started pondering. Just then, the two words, spiritual sense, suddenly flashed in her mind and felt very familiar, a strange kind of feeling. But she couldn’t put her finger on it. Why?

Claire got up. White Emperor gave a chirp, then pounced on Claire’s back. While he was at it, he climbed up to Claire’s shoulder, then onto her head, claiming his treasured seat again.

Claire walked to the main hall just as Camille and the rest were preparing to eat their meal. Seeing Claire come, Summer happily jumped over, pulling out a couple of tickets and waved them happily. “Claire, your Grandfather’s really awesome. He’s so efficient, getting us tickets so fast. He also gave ‘that thing’ over.”

Naturally, Claire knew what ‘that thing’ meant. It was the dye potion that was going to be used to change the precious pearl’s appearance.

“Claire, it’s time to eat.” Camille smiled warmly. “You were shut up in that room and meditating for so long, you should be hungry. Eat a little more.”

Claire nodded and walked over. When she got close to Camille, Camille used a volume that only the two of them could hear and squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth, “I was looking forward to you dying of hunger inside there.”

“This wish of yours will never be fulfilled.” Claire also smiled like a flower and squeezed out.

They were very friendly while eating, or at least, on the surface.

After eating dinner, Claire returned to the bedroom and pulled out the spiritual stone, rubbing it over and over.

Walter suddenly awoke, watching Claire’s actions with wide eyes. Currently, the spiritual stone was like Walter’s body, it could let Walter feel everything. With Claire rubbing the stone, it felt like his whole body was being rubbed.

“Claire, stop, what are you doing?” Walter called in surprise, trying to quickly stop her. “I already woke up.”

“Oh.” Claire stopped, looked at Walter, and said, “Say it, what does the treasure that can give rebirth to your body look like? Ah, why is your face so red?”

“You!” Walter swallowed back the words he was about to say. If you rub me like this, how can my face not be red? Unfortunately I’m a normal man!

“Quickly!” Claire poked the Spiritual Stone and said impatiently.

Walter was afraid Claire would poke him again and hurriedly said, “Ah! It looks about the same as a conch shell.” Then he quickly added, “Even though I told you, don’t go. It’s too dangerous over there, not somewhere you can go with your current strength. Even if you advanced to the grand wizard stage, you still wouldn’t be able to enter safely and escape.”

But Claire ignored Walter and instead, gave a forceful pinch, making Walter faint. Then she packed up some things, got up, left the room, and then went to Ben’s room.

Claire knocked and opened Ben’s door. He appeared drowsily. Of course, if he wasn’t busy, then he would go to sleep.

“Claire, what are you doing?” Ben was confused and didn’t understand.

“Let’s go. Tonight, I’ll give you a lesson. A very important lesson.” A trace of a crafty smile appeared on Claire’s lips.
