414 Fie wants to cultivate (1/2)
Fie was eating together with Krune and Feifei when she suddenly asked.
”Dad, mom, when can I start to cultivate too?”
Krune and Feifei were surprised by that question. This was the first time that Fie ever asked about it.
Other than Liriu that she knows ever since she was born, Fie didn't like to interact with kids at the same age as her. That was because they really couldn't understand what she was saying and could barely speak a few sentences. Because of that, only the kids around 7 years old or more could have a talk at the same level. Of course, they only talk like kids at that age.
Liriu was the only exception for that rule, and that is because he had been forced to keep up by Fie. With no other kid at the same age as him in the Elemental Path, he could only follow Fie around, which led to his faster learning speed. Of course, he couldn't really be compared to her.
Krune and Feifei looked at her and said.
”Well, you don't need to care about it for now. There are many things that you have to see and experience before you start to cultivate.”
Fie really didn't care much about cultivation before, neither did Krune or Feifei ever touched the topic with her. After all, she didn't have a Wisp's lifespan, so she could take her time to enjoy her infancy. It was because of her interactions with the older kids that she came to ask this question. It seemed like they are all starting to cultivate now, and because of their increase in strength, cultivation had become their main topic. Fie might be a lot more intelligent, but it doesn't change the fact that she is a kid. So she also liked what the other kids did.
The other kids' parents and the wisps around never bothered much about Fie and Liriu's cultivation either. As impressive as Fie and Liriu might look with their 9th Stage, the fact is that the majority here are Wisps still. Wisps are already born in the Foundation Establishment Realm at the very least, so there was nothing to feel impressed with a 9th Stage Qi Condensation Realm.
Krune smiled and then asked.
”Do you know at which level of cultivation those kids you told us about are at the moment?”
Fie pondered a bit and then remembered that some of them commented about it.
”Idiot Iolia said that he is already in the 4th Stage of the Qi Condensation, and he keeps bragging about it. The others are all in the 3rd or 2nd. There are also a few demon beasts that we need to take care of. I heard that the demon beasts of 5 years old or more are all in the 3rd or 4th Stage of this Qi Condensation thing.”
However, here in the Dalin Universe, it is a lot easier to cultivate, so there are very few demon beasts that wouldn't reach the 9th Stage during their lives. Of course, that is considering that they won't be killed before that happens.
”Oh, is that so? Are you perhaps jealous that you aren't even in the 1st Stage? But you shouldn't bother with it at the moment. After all, you are still 3 years old.”
All the cultivation conversations that Krune and the others had only talked about things in the Divine Soul Realm or above, so Fie had never had the change to understand at what level she was. She was born in the 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation, so she thought that her actual power was the same as someone who hasn't cultivated yet.
Of course, she never had tried to compare her strength with the other older kids. Otherwise, they would all be in for a good beating. As for her floating ability, she told the others that it was because her father was a wisp, so she could float like a wisp too. Kids wouldn't think much about whether such a thing was true or not, so they simply believed her.
”Yes, I also want to cultivate like them! They think they are better because they can cultivate, so I want to be able to cultivate too. I will also teach Liriu how to do that, and we are going to be very strong.”
Feifei and Krune couldn't help but laugh out loud. In part, they are at fault for never talking about cultivation with her, so she really thinks that she is weaker than them.
”Mom will tell you a secret. Both you and Liriu don't need to care about the Qi Condensation Realm thing.”
Fie couldn't help but show a sad face.
”Why? Are we not good enough for cultivation? I heard the other kids say that when you don't have enough talent, you should not waste precious resources cultivating.”
Krune's expression immediately changed into a serious one. In his eyes, talent is definitely not a reason to forbid someone to cultivate. As a Wisp of the Luvile Universe, that reminds him of how he and the other wisps couldn't do anything about their cultivation speeds. No one would want to waste resources on them.
”Fie, remember what I'm going to say now. You should never, ever, judge someone because of his or her talents. Understood? There is no such thing as not cultivate because of your talent. All that matters is how much effort you put in. As long as you don't give up, even the most untalented one can achieve great things.”
That was the first time that Krune had showed such a serious face to her. So she nodded obediently.
Feifei smiled and then said.
