Chapter 394: Building Trust Amongst Dust
As she lays back, along with all the other skeleton creatures she’s just raised, I decide to help pass a few of her tests.
Doing something that I haven't introduced to the demihumans yet, until I came here, for security purposes. Renewing their qi.
With my hands outstretched, I allow them to shimmer with a gentle glow as I heal her qi reserves and fatigue, both physical and mental. Her eyes widen, as she can feel the exhaustion disappear and her qi reserves for her foundation establishment cultivation return.
With the most important part, being that none of her connections have been released.
She shoots to her feet, rushing over to me.
“You... Master James... did you do that?”
With a mysterious smile, I nod.
The wheels are whirring in her head as she contemplates how she can use this to her advantage. I add in some bait.
“...this doesn’t have to be a onetime thing. In fact, I can have this continuously happen, at a lower level, of course.”
Her eyes spin at this offer. She takes some time to recollect, before making a decision. She gives a deep bow before shouting her appreciation.
“Thank you for instructing me, Master. I’ll do whatever you’d like me to.”
I shake my head.
“No, you don’t need to thank me to that extent. I’m glad I could help.
“Not only that... but we haven’t even gotten into teaching you the real cultivation method yet.”
She nods, showing me she hasn’t forgotten for even a moment. I proceed with my instruction, my voice quiet, but resonating clearly in this space.
“Now here’s the major thing to remember with this method. While it is necromancy, at its core... it’s puppetry, animation, and giving life to something without it.
“For what you previously had, you may have only been able to handle skeletons, because you caught onto the basic concept of this... puppetry. However, the complex actions needed to handle flesh and the resistance to movement weren’t built. With the proper method, you will already have the foundation built for you.
I sit down next to her, gesturing for her to do so as well.
“Okay... for us to unlock this, we will need to do a certain series of actions. First, let yourself cycle your qi, just like you would normally for the OCS method.”
She dutifully follows my lead, sitting next to me, cycling her qi. As specified, she isn’t using her derivation of the method, just the standard way.
“Okay, I’m going to unlock a portion of the method for you. As I do so, you should be able to see and feel the nature of your qi change slightly. There will be some additional things, but we’ll start here.”
Nodding at my words, she opens her qi pathways for me to adjust them. Moving my hand to her back, near her middle dantian, my qi interacts with hers.
Dang, since she's in a higher realm than mine, it's immensely difficult to move hers. And unlike when using my healing method, I’m getting no guiding help from my cultivation method of influencing her qi, like normal, because this isn’t about healing her.
Which means I’m having to use my Qi Condensation cultivation base to affect her Peak Foundation Establishment one, which is already near to passing the boundary to Core Formation.
After all, those are dead things that used to be alive. Same with dead skin cells that are still on the surface of someone’s skin. The list goes on.
She turns to me, her voice low.
“...why would you give something like this to me?”
She knows I know she distrusts me. Even with the contract.
And this method, like my Boundless Healing cultivation method, is strong enough that large sects would go to war, to get even a taste of it.
As before, honesty is the best option.
“It’s because I know you want to do good things with your abilities. To protect your family and those around you.
“I think that you have amazing potential. More than anyone else I ever met. If I can help you achieve that, while helping you be a force of good in this world... that would make me happy.”
I pause, adding in more.
“Not only that, but you already know the situations with our demihumans group.
“There will come a day that we will need to fight against those who will seek to get rid of you guys. For having cultivation and potentially freeing other demihumans from the curse. With this ability, you will have a chance to protect yourself... and show others that demihumans were never inferior to others.
“That despite being scary at times... you can be the kindest people they know.”
As I say this, I look her in the eyes. Conveying my sincerity and belief in her to the best of my ability.
Her stare, reading my face and my actions, seems to have culminated into one emotion from her.
Shock.
Perhaps because a human would actually give her enough power to completely demolish all we've built.
She looks away. But gives me a nod and a bow.
“... I won’t let you down, Master James.”
Her next words have a weight beyond her years.
“I’ll show them all. That we can rise above where we’ve been placed.”
And there it is... the seed that will enable her to develop into a future sect leader. Protecting demihumans from those who would seek to harm them.
With another nod, I say the next words.
“I’m glad to hear it. Now... let’s see what you’ve got.”
