Chapter 7: Spirits (1/2)

After cleaning everything, putting back his bracelet and restraining his power back to Qi Gathering Initial Stage, Seth took a detour through the forest to get back to the outer sect grounds.

”What a nice day!” It was still bright outside. As if all that happened has been forgotten, Seth leisurely appreciated the nature around him.

”To your right, about 300 meters, I want to see that place!” Lexi suddenly picked something that interested her.

She could ”smell” the places with high concentrations of spiritual energy from far away.

Seth stopped and thought. ”What the hell, just like a dog, no, wouldn't that leave even dogs jealous? What a nice nose!”

”Grrr! I can hear your thoughts! Pervert!”

”Oops, I'm sorry, my bad, there is nothing alike. You're such an angel!”

”Hmph!”

”Lexi. You are a spirit, right?”

”That's for sure, a very beautiful one!”

Seth hesitated a bit, but he then asked. ”Aren't spirits born from weapons and artifacts? Can they appear inside living beings?”

He has always asked himself this question.

Lexi thought for a moment and answered. ”I don't know either, but there is no doubt I am a spirit like those you mentioned. Usually, spirits are born with just a strong enough will. An example would be a sword that was used to slaughter thousands of enemies, may give birth to her own will, thirsting for more blood. So basically, they are born to do whatever their purpose deems fit and even simple wills are super hard to form, not even saying the huge quantity of spiritual energy needed for that.”

Seth then proceeded to ask the question that bothered him the most.

”Then... Then why did you appear inside me? And to top it off, right after I got that seed? Are you perhaps the spirit of that thing?”

”Seth, I-I don't know, but I don't have any relations with that seed! Please, believe me!”

An awkward silence and then a sigh.

”Alright I'll trust you. I already have my hands full, why bother?!” There was no point on doubting someone you may live your entire life with. Answers could be given with time.

”Thank you.”

”As for a spirit appearing inside a living being... Even I, the spirit in question, can't believe it has ever happened.” Lexi couldn't explain the situation.

Seth and Lexi would have to understand it later. They felt like they didn't know anything at all.

”As a spirit what are your other abilities now?” Seth already knew some, but not them all.

”Outside of identifying treasures, other spirits and help you with the seed. I can find beautiful places!!!”

Seth rolled his eyes. ”You mean places filled with spiritual energy, right? Only that?”

”Yes. For now!”

”For now?”

”I noticed some memories appearing when I absorb the energy of these beautiful sceneries. It's like they trigger something. With those memories I may even remember some abilities.”

”Hmm, that's cool then. Let's not waste any more time and go ahead. 300 meters, right?”

”Yeah, let's go, let's go!” Lexi hurried him.

For Qi practitioners at the same plane level as Seth's, 300 meters is a distance that could be covered in a few seconds or so.

Approaching the place, it was already possible to hear the sound of water.

Seth got there and Lexi could finally appreciate the view.
