Gu Shishi had specially set aside a free period for cultivation.

“The ruby on the pendant is a midgrade magic crystal, but you’ve just started. The magic power of a midgrade magic crystal is too much for you.”

Bai Han asked Gu Shishi to sit cross-legged.

He placed the purple crystals around Gu Shishi, surrounding her.

“Before you reach the intermediate apprentice level, use low-grade magic crystals first.”

There was a massive difference in the magic power contained in magical crystals of different grades.

If a low-level mage used a high-grade magical crystal to train, it was easy for them not to control the input of magic power well. They would explode and die if they used too much magic power.”

Gu Shishi nodded, her almond-shaped eyes shining brightly.

“Close your eyes and focus all your attention on the purple crystal in your hand.” Bai Han stuffed two purple crystals into Gu Shishi’s hands.

After Gu Shishi closed her eyes, Bai Han took a few steps back.

When a mage entered the beginner level, the magic around them would tremble.

This kind of tremor would affect the mages nearby.

If Bai Han hadn’t stayed far away, his body’s magic power would have been affected. If the tremor were big enough, it would cause the magical ability in his body to absorb the beginner magicians.

This situation might lead to the beginner mage’s failure; another attempt would be needed.

“Do you feel or see the magic power?” Bai Han stood in the corner and asked Gu Shishi.

Gu Shishi shook her head blankly and tightened her grip on the two purple crystals.

“Do you notice something in the purple crystal in your hand?”

“No.”

Bai Han frowned.

“No way,” he thought.

He looked at the time, and almost half an hour had passed.

After half an hour, she did not come into contact with any magic power or sense the magic energy within the purple crystal.

It was already a privilege for a mage to have magical crystals for their beginner’s training.

Only those with a wealthy family background would use a magical crystal for beginner’s training on the magic land. Most people would directly sense the magic power in the air.

Even some prominent families and academies wouldn’t allow magical crystals for beginner cultivation.

If one couldn’t even feel the magic power in the air during the beginning of the cultivation and couldn’t succeed, it would be difficult for this person to even break through the barrier of a magic apprentice and enter the realm of a mage even if with the help of magic crystals in the first step!

Unfortunately, Gu Shishi did not even feel the magic in the purple crystals after half an hour.

Bai Han scratched his face, suddenly feeling a little troubled.

Gu Shishi, on the other hand, was anxious. Her breathing became uneven, and her cross-legged sitting posture began to sway.

“Calm down. You haven’t started your cultivation. Normally, you can’t feel the magic power.” Bai Han closed his eyes and tried to calm her down.

Gu Shishi was more relieved after she heard Bai Han’s affirmation.

She thought it was because her talent was too poor so she couldn’t get started.

If that were the case, the Gu family’s investment would have failed.

Tens of billions of dollars would be in vain if she failed to cultivate.

Gu Shishi had not been worried about this matter. However, it was only now that she realized that not everyone could cultivate.

Bai Han waited for another half an hour. In Gu Shishi’s surroundings, she could not even feel the magic power within the purple crystal, much less its vibration.

“Let’s wait for a moment.”

Gu Shishi’s talent was too poor, so she could not get started with magic crystals alone.

After opening her eyes, Gu Shishi looked at Bai Han helplessly.

She wasn’t stupid. She probably guessed her talent was too poor, so she had never felt magic power.

Gu Shishi looked down and pursed her lips tightly, feeling the tears in her eyes.

What to do?

How would she explain to her father if she couldn’t cultivate?

The Gu family had spent a considerable sum of money on her. She would make her father and grandfather doubt her if this investment failed.

The Gu family might even fail to be in the lower class.

Moreover…

Gu Shishi did not dare to look at Bai Han.

She was afraid to see disgust and disappointment in Bai Han’s eyes.

Bai Han did not notice Gu Shishi’s emotions, for he was thinking about what he could use to help Gu Shishi get started.

He’d received thirty thousand purple crystals and five thousand midgrade magic crystals from the Gu family; he’d better find a way to help Gu Shishi start cultivating.

Furthermore, Gu Shishi was his disciple now.

“Get up first,” Bai Han said after some thought.

Gu Shishi stood in a daze, thinking Bai Han had given up on her.

“Can… Can I try again?”

“What?” Bai Han took out ten Magic-gathering Seals and placed all of them into Gu Shishi’s cultivation room, not paying attention to her words.

As the magic power in the room suddenly surged, Bai Han suppressed the one in his body.

After setting up the ten Magic-gathering Seals, Bai Han looked at Gu Shishi. “Okay… what did you say?”

Gu Shishi’s eyes were red, and tears were welling up. She looked like she was about to cry.

“I’ll try again. I can do it. Master, please… don’t…” Gu Shishi could not finish her sentence.

Bai Han finally understood what Gu Shishi was thinking and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“What are you talking about?”

Seeing that Gu Shishi was on the verge of tears, Bai Han softened his voice. “I was just thinking about what I could use to help you start cultivating.”

“Try again now.”

Gu Shishi’s face turned red immediately.

Bai Han’s voice and expression became extremely gentle after he spoke.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether the burning sensation on her face was because Bai Han was being gentle or her being ashamed of her thoughts.

“Oh, okay,” Gu Shishi replied in a flustered manner.

She sat down cross-legged again with the two magic crystals in her hands. However, unlike before, Gu Shishi could feel the magical power in the purple crystals very quickly this time.

She was so happy that the corners of her lips curled up.

Bai Han had suppressed his absorption of magical power to avoid interfering with Gu Shishi’s beginner cultivation, so all the magical power surged toward her instantly.

“Oh!” As the magic power surged into her body, Gu Shishi started to lose consciousness.

Not only that, but her entire body became hot and dry, and hot air kept gushing out of her body.

It was so hot!

Gu Shishi let go of the purple crystal in her hand and started to tear her clothes.

It was so hot! It was too hot!

Gu Shishi couldn’t bear the heat and tore off all her clothes.

She was wearing a one-piece dress today and took it off in one go.

Bai Han was just about to help when he saw this alluring scene.

“Shishi!”

The body before him was fair and beautiful, with an exquisite figure. It was slightly red because of the heat, making it extremely attractive.

Bai Han almost had a nosebleed.

“Fuck!”

His Adam’s apple moved, and he released the suppression of his body’s magic power. The magical power gathered in the room immediately found a better outlet and rushed into Bai Han’s body!

Gu Shishi’s mind gradually cleared up as the new magic power no longer entered her body.
