Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

"Ok."

Hyacinth then took out her miracle seed.

Actually, calling it a seed is a bit inappropriate.

The seeds have already sprouted, and there are faint signs of flowers forming.

Jiang Si's pupils contracted slightly.

This was the first time he had ever seen the Miracle Seed undergo such a transformation.

However, most of the flower had withered, and the remaining petals were also dead. "As you can see, although I don't want to retire, in reality, my seed has developed problems. Even transforming is difficult, and I am far from having the strength I once had."

Most importantly, Jiang Si sensed the aura of the Witch's Guild, the murky smell of magic contamination.

Xiao Yumo, who was next to him, immediately tugged at his sleeve.

The Qingyun Sect attaches great importance to the Witch Society, and the disciples within the sect are naturally very familiar with the Witch Society's aura. In addition, Bing Tang had just reminded them not long ago to be careful of the Witch Society.

After taking out the Miracle Seed, Hyacinth was also observing Jiang Si's movements and subtle changes in expression.

Even without color differentiation, she can still barely distinguish these things if she concentrates.

However, it was clear that they hadn't gained anything. The other person's expression was the same as that of anyone who had seen her seed for the first time before. She sighed and played with the strangely shaped seed. "And there's something else that might disappoint you. I'm not the strongest magical girl in the North Sea either."

Jiang Si was pondering why the other party's miracle seed had undergone a change in form and why it possessed the corrosive aura of the Witch's Society.

The other person had already started reminiscing on their own, looking somewhat dazed. "I used to think I was the strongest magical girl, and I wanted to protect Jianghai City with my own strength. At that time, my dream was not to let other girls bear the responsibilities of a magical girl."

Aren't you killing other people's dreams?

Jiang Si snapped out of her daze and mentally made a judgment.

It's truly outrageous that someone's dream is to stifle the dreams of others...

Hyacinth smiled wryly, "Until one day, I met that magical girl."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "A purple magical girl."

Yu Mo blinked and looked up at her sect leader.

Jiang Si remained calm and listened quietly.

"You don't know much about magical girls, so you probably can't imagine what a truly powerful magical girl's destructive power, which is enough to make people despair, is like. My power is like a baby in front of her. She crushed all my abilities with absolute power, and also completely crushed my dreams."

Loss and pain involuntarily showed in her empty eyes. "I once thought that such a cute, powerful and calm being was the real magical girl."

"Cute" is a bit of an overstatement.

"I did once think that seeking out witches would grant me power," Hyacinth chuckled self-deprecatingly. "But as you can see, it was just asking for trouble. So now I'm neither the strongest magical girl, nor even really a magical girl. But thankfully, I have Ginkaku. Ginkaku has a lot of potential and will definitely do better than me..."

Jiang Si asked coldly, "Then why didn't you take the opportunity to retire back then?"

So the girl raised her seed, a jet-black seed, which, under the blood-red sunset, shone with iridescent colors.

Even her empty pupils seemed to shimmer with light. "Because I still want to help others, to use this last bit of power to protect those who have no power. How could I retire? My power hasn't disappeared yet, and I have a responsibility to protect BH City until I die completely as a magical girl."

The girl bathed in the setting sun was like a dying flame, its intense light constantly leaping up.

It will eventually disappear as the sun sets.

The setting sun slipped away from her, mingling with the evening shadows. Hyacinth covered her mouth and yawned. "So, that's it. Don't worry, your sister will be safe. Both Silver Lotus and I will protect your sister."

"Thank you."

After that, there was naturally nothing more to talk about, and Hyacinth saw the two of them off from the academy.

The security guards glared at them the whole way when they saw them come out.

People were taking pictures nearby, but Hyacinth just smiled and waved naturally, facing the camera with an open and generous demeanor.

Only after the two of them had walked quite a distance did Yu Mo carefully tug at his sleeve.

He was still clutching his rabbit tightly in one hand, half of his face hidden by the rabbit, and asked in a low voice, "Sect Master, have you ever defeated her before?"

Who else could be the powerful purple magical girl in BH City but the Sect Master?

"I don't know." Jiang Si shook her head. "I forgot."

I've fought so many magical girls, who knows which one it is?

However, it can be basically confirmed that this hyacinth has nothing to do with the Witch's Society.

We can only wait and see how things go on Susan's side.

"She must be feeling desperate."

The little tagalong beside her was whispering again. She glanced back and saw the girl holding a rabbit in her arms. Her hood had been blown down by the wind, revealing a head of beautiful long hair.

Her pale blue pupils narrowed slightly. Although the rabbit obscured the lower half of her face, one could still sense that she was smiling sweetly. "Yu Mo, it's so wonderful that Yu Mo can be by the Sect Master's side. Because we're together, there's no despair at all."

"Go back and cultivate your Dao heart properly." Jiang Si glanced at her coldly. "If the difference in strength is too great, you will be eliminated sooner or later. The Great Dao is ruthless, and no one will walk the same path as an eliminated disciple."

"Huh? Huh? I, I'll try my best!"

Chapter Twenty: Go and capture Tang Sanzang.

Coco becoming a magical girl didn't have a significant impact on Jiang Si's life.

After returning from the Disaster Management Bureau, their daily routines remained unchanged; they continued to attend school as usual and took care of their own food, clothing, and shelter.

However, the fact that he went to find Hyacinth was probably something Yinlian told her after she found out.

After he finished dinner and was about to leave, Coco went to the kitchen to cook her own meal. As they passed each other, she suddenly said something.

"Don't mind your own business."

In reality, I wasn't meddling in other people's business.

Unwilling to explain anything, Jiang Si returned to her room and began to experience her own magic.

Having absorbed the magic power of a B-rank disaster beast, it is more surging and enormous than ever before, but it is still within the framework of Blooming.

In Jiang Si's view, the so-called budding seedlings are actually the foundation building.

Both of these realms involve continuously increasing the total amount of magic power and becoming familiar with how magic power operates. As long as you accumulate experience over time, any magical girl can grow from a bud to a new sprout.

It can only be said that magical girls are like a kind of empowerment, suddenly elevating a mortal to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, one needs to transform to obtain the Foundation Establishment Body.

During the foundation-building stage, whether it is a sprout or a seedling, it is simply absorbing the magic of the miracle seed.

Until it reaches its full bloom.

Jiang Si called it the Golden Core stage. Only when it reaches the Blooming stage can the magical girl truly begin to control the Miracle Seed, and even reshape the seed to make it bloom.

The only problem is that the Miracle Seed is not inside the body, but outside, which is a bit unusual for a Golden Elixir.

But it doesn't matter, Jiang Si calls it external alchemy.

He remembered that many cultivation novels contained such unorthodox methods, using external elixirs to forcibly enter the Golden Core stage.

As one continues to grow stronger, the so-called external core will eventually become the internal core, or help one reshape the internal core.

Although when this explanation was told to Bing Tang, the girl who had been receiving his various cultivation knowledge for the past three years still felt it was somewhat far-fetched.

But Jiang Si felt she had found a pattern...

After the Golden Core comes the Nascent Soul, which is the full bloom after the blossoming. It requires the seed to be completely broken open and transformed into a human form or something else.

Therefore, to break through to full bloom, the form change of the Miracle Seed must be completed.

Jiang Si had tried many methods over the past six months, but no matter how much magic she absorbed, it was difficult to cause any change in the form of the Miracle Seed.

Perhaps it requires some external assistance, or perhaps it's based on one's own insights.

Besides searching for the Seed of Miracles, the Qingyun Sect's plan to integrate magical girl powers is also underway. However, insufficient research into the fundamental changes in the nature of magic has led to slow progress, and all projects require time.

Breakthroughs are things that cannot be rushed; haste makes waste.

From his previous life to today, Jiang Si has never lacked patience. He can even find a way out of a dead end, let alone the right path to heaven that is so clear in front of him right now. It's just a matter of whether he walks it fast or slow. What's there to be in a hurry for?

He will eventually reach his end, reach the very top!

He tried circulating the magic power within his body for one full cycle, and then it dissipated silently once again.

However, one could sense that some magic had seeped into the flesh and blood.

Little by little, one will eventually achieve sainthood in the physical body.

As his hopeful and enjoyable cultivation was drawing to a close, he heard a loud crash downstairs, followed by his sister's painful cry.

Jiang Si was about to go to sleep when she pushed open the door and looked down. Her cultivation was coming to an end.

Coco fell to the ground, and the dumbbells he used for training hit the TV cabinet opposite him.

The dumbbells weren't expensive; he made them himself. The iron weights on both sides weren't very even. Since it was no longer convenient to bring the gym equipment from the Qingyun Sect home, he made a lot of simple gym equipment at home to make do with.

Jiang Si stopped using the barbell below six months ago because it didn't improve his strength.

I was planning to add more weight a while ago, but the old man who welds iron said it would cost 100 yuan including the weighting iron block.

The older they get, the darker they become.

It had been sitting untouched in the corner of the living room for a long time, and it was quite dirty, even a little rusty.

The air has been very humid lately.

Coco looked up at him, then ran off, wearing those tattered slippers with exposed toes, and pattered her way to the TV, where she carried the barbell to the corner.

"what are you doing?"

"Exercise after meals."

"Didn't you hate exercising the most?"

"None of your business," Jiang Keke said, pressing her lower back.

I think I twisted my ankle just now.

Jiang Si casually pulled out a plaster that her parents had bought before from the cabinet under the TV. It was specially for treating sprains and bruises.

Actually, it was bought for him because his parents were afraid he would get injured from training so hard back then.

But in reality, he never used it even once.
