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

It now appears that this is not the case.

The way witches use corrupting magic to strengthen themselves is likely by keeping calamity beasts inside their bodies.

Moreover, Yinluo has been raising the calamity beast inside her body for so long without any abnormalities. Neither the Disaster Strategy Bureau nor the Qingyun Sect has been able to discover that she is raising the calamity beast inside her body.

Perhaps the monsters the witch chooses are rather unusual.

The injection I received later was also quite interesting; I might try getting a copy from the Witch's Guild sometime.

Although she only got one seed, Shion was still very satisfied with her harvest. She was interested in both raising the calamity beast inside her body and the potion that could transform her into a witch.

Especially for Shion, raising a calamity beast inside her body is not a difficult task, and she can try it with a small calamity beast later.

But right now, the most important thing is the seed of miracle right in front of us.

She has been trying to channel magic into the seed for a long time, but so far, the seed has not reacted at all.

It's unclear whether it was used once, resulting in insufficient magic power, or whether it entered a dormant state.

Jiang Si stopped channeling magic and took out the Seed of Lamentation.

When the pollution magic was first introduced into the Miracle Seed, the white seed, which had been dormant, suddenly began to boil!

A large amount of magic began to stir, even showing a tendency to self-destruct. Shion quickly manipulated the magic of her Miracle Seed to suppress it.

Thirty-five to seventeen is the optimal ratio of magic power. To gain complete control, one's own magic power must account for as much as thirty-five.

Although Shion's magic power far surpasses that of others at the same level, it has still been through intense battles, and this seed itself is at the peak of its bloom. It is not easy to suppress it to a percentage of seventeen.

Realizing that the milky-white magic was arrogantly trying to challenge her control over her magic, a hint of ferocity flashed in Aster's crystal-clear pupils. She gathered purple magic into a fist and slammed it down on the milky-white magic!

Just as the two seeds were merging, the punch landed solidly, hitting Ziyuan squarely. Her face flushed red, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

But Shion didn't stop. She continued to beat and reduce the white magic power until the milky white magic power was reduced to only 17% before she finally stopped.

The originally restless and arrogant milky-white magic, as if it had been beaten into submission, became docile and began to obediently follow her control, gradually merging with the woven net of purple magic along its outline.

The perfect fusion allowed the two blooming seeds to unfold simultaneously, and Shion could clearly feel that the magic power was not simply increasing in quantity.

Instead, they sensed a change in the nature of the magic.

Its purple magic merged with a touch of softness from its milky white magic, and gradually transformed from a raging flame into a more docile fluid.

It even possesses the properties of both fire and flowing water simultaneously.

Immediately afterwards, Aster discovered that the shape of the seeds had finally begun to change.

The purple seed began to grow gradually. Inside the seed, it looked as if a tender sprout was growing and about to break through the shell.

The entire seed began to become more ethereal, and Ziyuan could clearly feel that the seed was gradually unfolding.

It keeps growing, keeps growing, and it seems it's about to blossom.

Suddenly, a terrifying suction force emanated from inside the seed, instantly sweeping away all the surrounding magic power!

It was as if a black hole had appeared, greedily devouring all the surrounding energy, and the two miracle seeds even withered in an instant!

Shion quickly deactivated her transformation, and the two magical powers immediately dissipated from their fused state.

The terrifying attraction within the Miracle Seed then disappeared.

Jiang Si was slightly out of breath. She picked up the two seeds and looked at them. The signs of withering were still there, and the magic power had weakened considerably.

It will take about two or three days to recover.

He looked up at the mirror opposite the training room.

His complexion was quite pale, as if he hadn't eaten in a long time, and he even looked somewhat weak.

Sure enough, in the end, it wasn't just magic that burned...

The direction I'm heading is correct, and this path is feasible; the problem lies in the destination I'm trying to reach.

The milky-white miracle seed suddenly began to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Si faintly heard urgent shouts.

"Don't open it all the way! Don't open it all the way! Opening it all the way is a trap!"

Chapter 47: Between Heaven and Earth

After Jiang Si came out of the cultivation room, Bing Tang didn't ask any questions about cultivation—if she succeeded, Jiang Si would tell her herself, and there was no need to ask if she didn't.

"Currently, Yotsuba is cooperating with Susan in investigating the whereabouts of the other two Miracle Seeds, but information from the Witch's Guild is rather scarce..."

While Jiang Si started exercising, Bing Tang sat at the table, looking at various documents in her hands, and gave Jiang Si a work report for the past few days. "The members of the Witch Society who were active in Beihai have been basically captured, but they are all non-members. Some were bribed with money, and some were just venting their anger and seeking revenge. The remaining core members should not be in Beihai."

Jiang Si, who was using the machine to stretch his muscles, remained silent, showing little interest in such things.

Then, Bing Tang took out a transparent pebble the size of a fingernail and said, "This is the core of the many calamity beasts that the Witches have summoned this time. They call it the Egg of Calamity."

"Before being contaminated by emotions, it is a harmless egg, but once it is continuously contaminated by negative emotions..."

As she said this, Bing Tang called over Qing Hua, who was still in self-isolation, "Qing Hua, come here for a moment."

Qinghua trotted over with a slightly ingratiating smile, "What's wrong, what's wrong, Lord Bingtang? I didn't do anything wrong."

Bing Tang handed her the Egg of Calamity, saying, "Please confide in me about your recent negative emotions."

Although somewhat puzzled, Qinghua immediately began to whisper.

"I don't want to work, I don't want to go to school, I don't want to get up early, I don't want to do homework, and I don't want to mess up the gacha pulls..."

Wisps of black energy began to emerge from the Calamity Egg, turning the originally transparent egg into a cloudy state.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Qinghua's eyes widened. "Is my resentment really that strong?"

“Newborn eggs of calamity are more susceptible to influence, but your resentment is also considerable.”

Bing Tang handed the Calamity Egg to Jiang Si, "In short, by continuously feeding it negative emotions, the Calamity Egg will gradually evolve into a Seed of Sorrow. Once it reaches a critical point, the members of the Witch's Guild will use some methods to stimulate it, and the Calamity Beast will be born. So many Calamity Beasts that suddenly appeared in the city were born in this way."

Taking the Egg of Calamity, feeling its coolness, the trace of resentment from Qinghua was gradually turning into tiny black dots, gathering in a corner of the eggshell. "Perhaps this is the core of the Witch's Technique?"

"Very likely, but unfortunately we didn't capture their core members. Among the Witches' Guild in Beihai, only the captain knows the detailed methods of the Witches' Guild, and he is the most well hidden. I suspect he is not even in Beihai right now."

"Find him no matter where he is."

"know."

Jiang Si stopped exercising and stretched her arms. "I also need more information about the Full Bloom Realm."

"Currently, the Disaster Management Bureau headquarters is strictly controlling information related to Mankai." Bing Tang also said with some helplessness, "We have tried very hard to collect information, but unfortunately, we can't find any information about Mankai."

Jiang Si wasn't surprised by this.

The Disaster Management Bureau headquarters' control over information is astonishing. Back when there were no disaster beasts in the North Sea, almost no one in the entire North Sea could see any news about magical girls, whether online or on television news.

It's as if the term "magical girl" has been blocked, making Beihai as peaceful as an ordinary real world.

It wasn't until the frequent occurrence of calamity beasts and the lifting of the ban on magical girls that people discovered news about magical girls everywhere.

If the Disaster Management Bureau headquarters really wants to keep some information a secret, it would be quite difficult for the Qingyun Sect to find out with its current capabilities.

"It seems that only university research labs have a full set of materials."

Although the magical girls of Beihai University were distorted into virtual existences and reduced to concepts like anime and comics, Beihai University's research on magical girls has never actually stopped, and related majors have always been open, only under a different name during the period of censorship.

Even without distorting the concept of the term, regardless of the city of the university, magical girl research data in the laboratory cannot be taken out of the research room. The Disaster Management Bureau has many ways to prevent on-duty researchers from leaking information, and members who leave the research room will have their related memories erased.

"I can help you arrange the college entrance exam for another school at the end of the semester, and we can take it together..."

"No need, I've already spoken with the principal, and he'll arrange it for me."

That meddlesome old man, you'll be fired sooner or later!

He was inwardly complaining, but on his face he just smiled.

Bing Tang looked slightly disappointed. "Okay, then forget it."

If Jiang Si had agreed to go to another school to take the college entrance exam with her, she could have arranged a separate classroom for the two of them. How infuriating...

Jiang Si put away the Egg of Calamity and was about to leave when Bing Tang suddenly called him back.

"Oh, right, Jiang Si, there's something I'd like you to do me a favor for."

Jiang Si turned to look at her and said, "Speak."

Bing Tang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Now the Witch Society's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, and the Disaster Management Bureau is also transferring people from headquarters. In the future, the situation of Qingyun Sect will probably become more and more difficult. We urgently need to improve the strength of our sect's disciples."

After thinking about it, Jiang Si nodded, "That makes sense."

Ultimately, he needed the assistance of the Qingyun Sect to find members of the Witch Society, deal with the Disaster Management Bureau, gather information, and even find out the source of the Seed of Lamentation. As the sect leader, he naturally had an inescapable duty to improve the strength of the Qingyun Sect disciples.

"Yes, the most important thing is still improving in actual combat, after all, we haven't found a sufficiently stable method to improve our cultivation level yet..."

Although Jiang Si naturally advanced to the Blooming stage by absorbing the corrupted magic power of the Seed of Lamentation.

However, it is obvious that this method is not applicable to other disciples. Not to mention that the polluted magic power will shrink after purification, there are quite a few disciples in the Qingyun Sect, and each person can only be allocated a small amount.

Even someone like Bing Tang, who has absorbed enough magic power, still cannot advance to the Blooming stage.

In Jiang Si's view, it's simply a matter of mindset.

The path of cultivation depends most on one's state of mind. If one's desire for the Dao is not firm enough, one will naturally not be able to achieve success naturally.

Such as Dao Xin (Daoist Heart), Dao Xing (Daoist Practice), Jin Xing (Golden Nature), Jing Qi Shen (Essence, Energy, and Spirit) gathering at the top of the head, or the dual cultivation of nature and life, etc.

Advancement in the cultivation world is inherently rigorous and complicated; requiring only a certain state of mind is considered relatively simple.

All the disciples of Qingyun Sect who were able to enter the inner sect were geniuses with excellent aptitude, but unfortunately, their mental state was not good enough, which made Jiang Si extremely regretful.

In the past, even when fighting witches, he couldn't bring himself to kill them, which was truly a headache for onlookers.

In the world of cultivation, cultivating one's state of mind is often the most difficult thing, and it is also a part that others cannot interfere with.

If it's a cultivation path that only relies on pills and techniques to improve one's realm, without considering one's state of mind, then it's still manageable.

However, magical girls are not in this way; they belong to a more traditional method of cultivation, which, apart from the basic accumulation of magic power, depends on the improvement of one's state of mind after enlightenment.

The crucial aspect of cultivating a positive mindset can only be achieved through their own enlightenment and breakthrough.

If these disciples had even the slightest similar motivation to become stronger as I have, things wouldn't have come to this.

"Therefore, we hope that the Sect Master can provide some magic power so that Qinghua can create a Ziyuan magic puppet so that we can spar and improve together..."

Upon hearing Bing Tang's request, Jiang Si fell into deep thought.
