Chapter 834 - Practice (1/2)

The two of them stopped in the middle of the courtyard and Jing Yi took a look around. There wasn't much to see other than a few plants and a big lake so he didn't pay any more attention and instead turned to face Qiu Ling, ready to start his training.

Qiu Ling smiled and grabbed his hands. ”Do you remember what I told you the last time?”

Jing Yi pondered and nodded slowly. ”You said that I just had to learn how to control the air. That I had to make it into something that I could stand on and then make it move. But I barely managed to even do the first step.”

Qiu Ling nodded. He remembered as much. At first, Jing Yi hadn't even understood what he meant. But, well, that wasn't that important. They had time. So even if his beloved didn't understand for now, they could just try and then try again. It wouldn't be a problem. ”I guess the most important is just to practice it. After a while, you'll get better. Do you want me to show you once again before you try yourself?”

Jing Yi nodded. ”I think it might help.”

Qiu Ling let go of his hands and then waved them, making the air currents around them change direction and move toward them. They swirled around his hand as if that was how they had been supposed to move in the first place.

Jing Yi stared at Qiu Ling's hands, trying to sense the spiritual energy. Surprisingly, he felt that it was much easier now than it had been before. Could it be that this was the effect of having cultivated longer? Because his level was now higher, he could do these things that were easy for most people with much less difficulty than before? If that was the case, then it might really not be too hard to learn how to fly.

”Alright, let me try it.” He also raised his hand and then tried to move the air. He first felt for the spiritual energy of the right element and then did what he normally did to take it in but stopped before it reached him.

Qiu Ling watched and nodded. ”Not bad. Try to move more of it. It's easier to control that way I guess. Well, when you stand on it at least.”

Jing Yi looked up and smiled, doing as he was told. The current gathered around his hand, making it feel as if he would even be able to touch it. Naturally, he knew that that was not the case. It was still just air, wasn't it? But then again, this was probably what he was going for. Having as much of this energy at one place as he could and thus making the element dense enough for it to carry a whole person.

Qiu Ling continued to observe and nodded again. Jing Yi was doing very well. If he practiced a while longer, it shouldn't be a problem to learn how to fly. ”Try to hold onto it as tightly as possible. It's not very important right now but when you're in the air and relying on only this to stay there, then you can't have any lapse of attention. If it isn't thick enough, you'd fall down and that wouldn't end well.”
