57 Incomplete Qi Vessel (2/2)
”Not yet. My big sister said she would meet me at dining hall today and she haven't shown up yet, so I will stay here and wait for her… Hopefully she won't be delayed by too much…
A helpless look showed up on Yang Meng's face upon mentioning his big sister getting delayed. From the looks of it, she was quite prone to getting late…
”Okay, I will meet you again tomorrow to turn in the mission. We meet at the entrance to the dining hall?”
Not bothering to question about him about his big sister, Sofie turned the subject towards the sect mission they completed.
”Yes, I will meet you at the entrance of the dining hall tomorrow, bye!”
”Bye!”
Standing up from the chair, Sofie remember to say her farewells before turning towards Xiao Yao and following her out of the dining hall.
…
”By the way, what about Yue Wan…?”
Sofie asked in a confused voice as she looked back at the slowly disappearing silhouette of the dining hall.
”Ah? It's her own fault for falling asleep…”
Xiao Yao smiled brightly upon remembering Yue Wan, who was currently sleeping somewhere on the floor of the dining hall.
How she ended up falling asleep? Only Xiao Yao knows…
…
Returning to the comfort of her room, Sofie did not go directly to bed, but instead sat down cross legged on her bed as she slowly started to cultivate according to the [Fire Lord Qi] cultivation manual.
Trying to condense the fire qi inside of her dantian into a flame seemed much easier than it had in that past. Most likely because she was extremely close to fully condensing her fire qi into a permanent qi vessel in the shape of a flame.
Slowly condensing the fire qi for the next hour, Sofie noticed that the fire qi inside of her dantian had fully entered her incomplete qi vessel. Meaning there was no qi outside of the little flame, all of her fire qi had been concentrated inside of the small flame. This also meant that she had reached the peak in the qi gathering realm, all she needed to do now was shape the flame according to the [Fire Lord Qi] cultivation manual and she could freely breakthrough to the first stage of the qi condensation realm.
This excited Sofie to an unfathomable degree as she started laughing loudly to herself, overcome with joy over how close to breaking through to the next realm she was.
Rolling around on her bed for a few minutes with a few plushies in her embrace, sharing the joy with her, Sofie finally calmed down and closed her eyes to try and shape the flame according to what the cultivation manual wanted her.
This… Was not as easy as Sofie had imagined it would be, causing a frown to show up on her former smiling face.
Every time she tried to manipulate the fire qi to form the shape of the flame, it started resisting her and even broke free of her control. Quickly returning the almost complete flame to its former incomplete shape.
Sofie did not understand this, as she thought condensing the qi into an incomplete qi vessel was the hardest so far… At least she found out that she might have been wrong regarding that…
Trying again and again, Sofie felt like she was going nowhere, no matter what she tried to do.
So, without thinking about it anymore, Sofie laid back on her bed and closed her eyes to sleep.
Whatever… I will try to form the flame vessel again after completing the sect mission together with Yang Meng tomorrow… Maybe I should ask him if he knows something about it? So far, he seems to know something about anything…
Thinking about the all-knowing little dumpling Yang Meng, Sofie smiled to herself as she decided to ask him, if he knew anything about how to make it easier for her to shape her incomplete qi vessel and making it a permanent one.
Having found a solution to her problem, Sofie slowly drifted off to sleep.
