Chapter 56：Spiritual Sea (2/2)
”I unlocked my spiritual sense today,” he repeated once more.
”No way, you are a bone tempering realm cultivator. You cannot unlock spiritual sense until the saint realm. You must've mistaken your normal Qi sense as spiritual sense. Although even Qi sense is only supposed to unlock once you reach True realm,” she refused to believe it.
”Master, I used a Spirit Cleansing Lily to unlock my spiritual sense.” He told her.
Ma Rong's eyes were wide with shock. ”How do you know about the spirit cleansing lily? No, where did you even get it from? They are incredibly expensive,” she was still refusing to accept the fact that he had unlocked.
”Did you forget master? I can recognize every alchemy ingredient I see in the wild. I got mine in the western forest, outside of the city,” he said whatever he could to make her believe him.
Ma Rong thought for a second. ”Does that mean you have a spiritual sea now?” she asked.
”Sea? What's a spiritual sea?” he asked.
”If you really did unlock your spiritual sense, then you must've unlocked your spiritual sea. The Spiritual Sea is where your sense is located. According to the records, the sea is in your mind that you can feel with your spiritual sense. The larger your sea, the more powerful the spiritual sense.” She explained.
Alex quieted for a second . 'A sea? Do I have one?' he thought. He quickly started probing into himself with his spiritual sense. He felt no resistance as he looked inside his mind.
Somewhere on his head was a small bubble of spiritual energy. Once he looked at what was inside, he saw a massive, but quiet sea with some occasional waves. The sea looked a bit dried up but was constantly getting back to its previous state.
”Yes, Master. There is something in my head. It's like a bubble of spiritual energy, and inside the bubble is a vast body of water, just like a sea.” He said.
Ma Rong was shocked, ”So you really did unlock your spiritual sense. That-that is too fast.” He was looking at him like she was looking at a monster.
”But-but wait, you said you found a spirit cleansing lily? How did you choose the right one? Do you know that choosing the wrong flower destroys the entire flower bed?” she asked.
”Ah yes. I just know which flower is the right one. I have picked 2 lilies by now. One by myself, and another for Luo Mei of Tiger sect, who I met during my hunt.” He said.
”So are you saying, you can pick the right flower out of the entire bed of flowers?” she asked once more. Alex simply nodded. Ma Rong's eyes seemed to light up with excitement.
She abruptly stood up and walked outside. She almost forgot about Alex in her excitement and left by herself. She turned back to look at Alex, who by now had a curious look on his face.
Ma Rong's eyes lit up as she said, ”Follow me. If you really can tell apart a spirit cleansing lily from the normal lilies, then you have a job to do.”
