Alicia took a good half an hour to make sure the feeling she was feeling was not just her imagining things. After some time she started to see swirls of blue wisps floating around her, almost as if they were smoke. Only then did she open her eyes and say: "I can sense it. It seems like thin blue swirls of energy."
"That sounds about right. Alicia it would normally take someone a few days to sense spiritual qi but I am not surprised since you already could tell it was in the air. Only when you can visually see it in your mind will it actually be considered sensing it. ButAlicia, I have to apologize. I seem to have forgotten a very important step."
Alicia looked at the white haired old man somewhat confused. "Step?"
"Yes, the most important step! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Bai Hong, I am an elder from the Soaring Cloud Sect. I had actually entered seclusion in this swamp to break through but I hit a wall…" Bai Hong replied, feeling a bit depressed.
