Chapter 92: Joint Progress in Spirit, Qi, and Body (Edited)

"Indeed! You're definitely a mage!" The old man stated emphatically to Robert, "The reason you could develop the power of the dragon spell is that you've grasped the essence of its power during your research. This is a sign of a powerful magical talent!"

"Your inability to develop other forms of Qi is because you don't understand them, or rather, you don't understand magic enough. As long as you can reacquaint yourself with magic and accumulate enough knowledge, you can continue to develop more uses for Qi!"

"Moreover, I've noticed that your Qi is far stronger than your spirit and body, which is undoubtedly unhealthy. Spirit, Qi, and body are supposed to complement each other, only by strengthening together can you maintain a balanced and perfect state!"

"If even you, with such pure Qi, can't maintain a balance between yin and yang, that would be truly regrettable..."

"Indeed, I've been consciously enhancing my body, but for my spirit, meditation seems insufficient. My meditation is more about developing Qi and the body..." Initially skeptical of the old man's words, Robert began to believe him when he mentioned the balance between spirit, Qi, and body, and he asked expectantly.

"So, you're saying that by learning magic, I can continue to enhance my Qi, and at the same time, improve my spirit and body?"

"Magic can enhance your Qi and spirit, but for the body, sorry, that might require your own effort to find a way. However, with your talent, enhancing your body's strength shouldn't be too difficult!" The old man winked at Robert, suggesting.

"Then where can I learn magic?" Robert had seen similar hints from Master Roshi to Uncle Liu, but he knew the old man meant something different, so after pondering, he asked directly.

"Ah! You're in luck. Standing before you is the disciple of the great mage, the inheritor of the Qi magic lineage, a mage and antique shop owner—me!" The old man nodded at Robert, pleased with his eagerness.

"Since you sincerely wish to learn Qi magic, follow me, and I'll lead you to the doorway of a new world!"

"Thank you, old man." Robert bowed deeply to the old man, very serious and respectful.

As the saying goes, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Since the old man could teach Robert new ways to use Qi, Robert naturally respected him and truly regarded him as a master.

Seeing Robert's attitude, the old man was even more satisfied. Robert was not only a raw gem in terms of talent but also serious and diligent in his approach to cultivation, a rare quality that even Jackie Chan, whom he had trained for many years, couldn't match!

Thinking this, the old man glanced at Jackie Chan and said, "Prepare dinner..."

"No need for dinner; I eat a lot, and it would be too troublesome to prepare. Let's start learning as soon as possible. I have many questions for the old man..." Robert quickly intervened, "Besides, with the dragon spell here, shadow ninjas might come to cause trouble, and it would be bad if they destroyed this place!"

"Ah, you've considered everything. Truly born to be a mage, so smart! Come with me..." The old man nodded approvingly at Robert, very pleased with his pupil. Even imagining Robert spreading the fame of Qi magic in the future, the old man already saw himself as a renowned master.

Jackie Chan: "..."

Watching the old man and Robert enter the back of the house, Jackie Chan was silent for a moment, then heard the old man say, "There's one more thing. If you want to enhance your spiritual power and master more uses for Qi, you also need to learn the orthodox path of magic. Any questions?"

"No questions!" Robert promptly replied.

"Good. Normally, those of us who use Qi magic need a medium, but you're different. Your Qi is special. As long as you can develop your spiritual power and Qi, whether you have a medium or not is no longer important. After all, most legendary figures didn't need any mediums..." The old man explained contentedly.

Listening to a conversation that sounded like a mystery to him, Jackie Chan shook his head, turned around with the dragon spell, and headed to District 13, not returning until the next day after Robert had left.

"Old man, is Robert really suited to be a mage? You're not fooling him, are you? When I saw him fighting, he was an unstoppable berserker. Can he really master Qi magic?" Jackie Chan asked quietly upon returning, reminding the old man, "Don't let him down!"

"Of course, he's suited. The power within him is also a form of Qi magic! Extremely powerful and rare Qi magic! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe such a person truly exists!" The old man shook his head, explaining.

"Qi magic, in essence, is a manifestation of life force. Warrior or mage, it's just a title. The legendary Eight Immortals also mastered Qi magic, but we often refer to them as immortals rather than mages..."

"However, everyone has their own strengths. Some prefer close combat, while others prefer staying behind the scenes. It's all about personal preference. Besides, once Robert masters Qi magic, even if he confronts enemies with his fists, who can say he's not a mage?"

Hearing the old man's words, Jackie Chan felt dizzy. He had chosen to practice martial arts in his childhood precisely because he had no interest in magic, which just proves Jackie Chan's lack of talent on the pure magic path...

Thus, Robert resumed his routine life, studying at school by day and cultivating. After school, he went to the old man's place to learn the path of magic, practicing new meditation techniques, and diligently training his body, spirit, and Qi, not wanting to lag in any aspect.

During his study of magic, Robert also taught Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu some basic Qi cultivation methods. Perhaps they were truly more suited to the pure Qi cultivation path.

Without needing to delve into the mysteries of Qi, they just had to focus on cultivating Qi to improve themselves, so their progress was quite good...

As for Robert's progress, it was remarkably fast. He hadn't yet tested the combat effectiveness of Qi magic, but his Qi had indeed become more versatile, more comprehensive compared to the purely destructive Qi he possessed before.

Moreover, the key was that after practicing the new meditation techniques, Robert unlocked new potential, successfully materializing his spiritual power, obtaining a telekinetic ability similar to Dumplings and Mrs. Gao!

For Robert, the greatest use of telekinesis wasn't for combat but for enhancing his cultivation by applying telekinetic pressure on himself, creating an effect similar to a gravity room, refining his body and Qi! This was his greatest achievement!
