Chapter 582: Seeds of a Business
As Zhao Longyan pondered subtle ways to entice Adam to devote his time to smithing in the association, Adam stepped through Shen Wu’s empty gazebo and entered his room.
The moment he did, Misha jumped on his back, wrapped an arm around his neck and thrust her glowing palm in front of his face.
"Watch this!" She chuckled and channelled her mana through her fresh circuits.
The green outlines of a miniature whale emerged from her palm. Gracefully, it swam and twirled in the air before a rush of steam burst through its back with a soft pop.
Adam blinked, his brow raising in surprise as he remembered his own months of struggle.
"You became a magic genius overnight." He brushed her cheek, a bright smile spreading across his face. "That’s incredible, Misha, but focus on cultivation for now. We’ll develop your new talent later."
Misha jumped down and raised her head in pride.
"I know. I just wanted to show you what I could do." She took out his spatial ring and handed it back. "I brushed through Shen’s cultivation technique. I didn’t find it particularly exceptional, even when I used my three spiritual stones. It is... focused on helping people with average talent to progress through repetitive meditation."
A bitter taste filled his mouth. Though he could see its value, they were both exceptional. So, a technique made for the average wouldn’t do.
"Well," Adam said, retrieving his three stones and handing them to Misha with a sigh. "Looks like we’re waiting until next year to break through. In the meantime, we can use this average technique to fill our dan tians to the brim."
She nodded, sharing his opinion.
