After returning to her cave, Jayde looked around nostalgically, even though Isha told her she had only been gone for two days, she left like it had been a lifetime ago since she had disappeared from her cave.
Just then her stomach growled, startling Jayde, realizing that she was starved Jayde quickly pulled out the small satchel that contained the elven wafer bread. Eating quickly Jayde polished off a whole wafer bread.
Wiping crumbs off her face, she looked about for her water gourd. Finally seeing it amongst her bedding, she took a long drink.
Once her stomach was happy, Jayde sat down on her bed and pulled out the two scrolls that Isha had given her. Opening up the cultivation scroll, Jayde was really surprised to note that the scroll was not made out of parchment, but out of some strange metallic substance.
Surprising the cultivation method was called Celestial Phoenix Cultivation. While reading the scroll, the words automatically scrolled across the strange surface. The method given was very detailed and explained the Celestial Phoenix Cultivation method in an easy to understand way.
After reading through the scroll a couple of times, and ensuring that she had memorized everything, Jayde decided to give the method a test.
Shifting herself into the described lotus position, Jayde rested her hands on her knees, palms facing up.
She then began to run the exercises detailed in the scroll, to open up her magic senses so that she could sense the qi around her. Unfortunately for Jayde, this wasn't some sort of fantasy story, where the female protagonist was some overpowered superhero that could instantly sense the qi, this was the real world, and it took her three full days of repeatedly running the exercises before she could finally sense the qi around her.
Once her magic senses opened, the world around Jayde changed. The air felt thicker, and there was a faint fragrance that she could pick up, it took Jayde a while to identify the scent she was smelling, it was lavender.
Opening her eyes, Jayde could faintly make out that the air around her had a soft silver glow, and within it, there were faint particles floating around, they were different colors — red, blue, green, brown, silver, gold, and black.
Jayde's eyes softened ever so slightly, the sight before her was beautiful. Looking up she saw that the dingbats flying to and fro seemed to be surrounded by a slightly green tinge. This green tinge indicated that the dingbats had a wood affinity.
Jayde debated with herself, should be now trying to absorb the qi, or go to the Dark Forest. She really wanted to collect the herbs and plants that she needed for Isha to repair her dantian as well as for the inter-dimensional market, and if she was honest with herself, she wanted to see the world with this new vision of hers.
But ... on the other hand, she really needed to start cultivating qi, it was only once she had stored qi in her dantian that she could start learning fire magic.
After arguing with herself for a while, Jayde finally decided that learning magic was more important. Since it had taken so long just to open up her magic senses, she was worried about how much time it would take for her to increase in rank.
It was a well-known fact that people with only a single elemental affinity upgraded slower than those with more than one, and with the rest of her elements being locked away, Jayde could only rely upon her fire magic. The other distressing fact was that Jayde was already ten years behind everyone else her own age.
Children in Doha began to actively cultivate when they are three years old, once they have had their Reading Day, training is arranged to ensure that children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
With these thoughts running through Jayde head, she closed her eyes, regulated her breathing and entered a meditative state. Then deep within her mind, she opened her magic eyes. Concentrating on the red glowing specks, she tried to pull them towards her just like how the Celestial Phoenix Cultivation scroll explained, but no matter how much she tried to attract them, they stubbornly stayed floating the same place.
