A strange look appeared on Xiao Hua's face. He had not dared give Liu Yi too potent a spirit fruit, only handing him the lowest-grade spirit date to eat. First, it was to fill his stomach; second, it was to let him experience a Daoist spiritual item. Xiao Hua had not placed much hope in the scant spiritual qi within the date. Yet Xiao Hua had still underestimated the spiritual qi in the spirit fruits within his space, and underestimated Liu Yi's aptitude as well. A single spirit date had allowed Liu Yi to grasp a "little foot" of spiritual qi.
"Mm, comprehend it first. Do not do anything else!" Xiao Hua thought for a moment before instructing him, "All of us Daoists' divine abilities must borrow the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. If you cannot comprehend the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi outside, then relying solely on these spirit fruits... it will be impossible for you to set foot upon the Great Dao!"
"Yes, this little one understands!" Liu Yi answered happily, took another bite of the spirit date, then closed his eyes and began to comprehend.
Watching Liu Yi's excited appearance, Xiao Hua sighed inwardly. Liu Yi's aptitude truly was excellent. Not only could he comprehend Qi Cultivation techniques despite never having cultivated before, he could even keenly sense the faint spiritual qi within the spirit date. Such a thing would have been absolutely impossible for the Xiao Hua of the past. Yet Xiao Hua understood even more clearly that if Liu Yi could not sense the spiritual qi between Heaven and Earth, he would never be able to cross the threshold of cultivation. Without Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, all Daoist cultivation was merely castles in the air.
