Many months have Passed since the first time I was able to make the Fireball rune and me and Ning Rong have been coming here almost everyday , for her its just for fun but for me it was to practice my runes and read other stuff that I told her to bring along .

Lately I have been delving into the formations aside from runes as runes and formations have a lot of overlapping aspects which is also true for alchemy and healing as both of them are heavily dependent on qi manipulation instead of weaving intricate patterns like for runes .

Healing is more about understanding and comprehending how qi interacts with human body as for alchemy its how qi interacts with ingredients and of course both of them are heavily dependent on the knowledge , the user of art possess which have been accumulated in the cultivation world for hundreds of thousands of years.

As I delved deeper into the study of formations, I couldn't help but notice the stark difference between the way they were portrayed in books and the reality of their mechanics. Initially, I was intimidated by the daunting descriptions of their complexity, but as I immersed myself in the texts, I began to realize that the challenge lay not in my own intelligence, but in the approach to understanding formations.

Unlike other disciplines where exceptional geniuses might grasp abilities beyond their cultivation level, formation masters relied heavily on the intricate calculations facilitated by their soul sense, so it made it impossible for them to go beyond their level. This realization came as a revelation to me.

Instead of using soul sense to count everything and visualize , I could leverage my soul sense as a powerful computational tool, akin to a calculator. I can use decimal based calculations for accurate measurements and use trigonometry and basic geometry to calculate angles and distance at which they needed to be placed at , from each other to get required result .

Drawing from my background in mathematics and physics, particularly in developing a physics engine for a game development company, I recognized the inherent mathematical principles underlying formations. While some might assume that formations were purely mystical and esoteric, I found that they were, in fact, grounded in principles of geometry and trigonometry.I don’t even need that high level of maths just high school maths is more than enough to get the job done.

This realization shifted my perspective entirely. Rather than being daunted by the complexity of formations, I saw them as intricate puzzles waiting to be solved. Armed with my knowledge of high school mathematics, I began to approach formations with newfound confidence, knowing that I possessed the necessary tools to unravel their mysteries.

For me, formations became a fascinating blend of art and science. Each formation was like a carefully crafted equation, with every component meticulously calculated to achieve a specific outcome. As I studied the texts, I marveled at the ingenuity of the ancient formation masters, who had devised elaborate systems of symbols and patterns to encode their knowledge.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

As I delved deeper into my studies, I found myself experimenting with different formations, applying my mathematical prowess to optimize their efficiency and effectiveness. With each success, I gained a deeper understanding of the underlying principles at play, honing my skills as a formation master.

I am already 3 years old and Ning Rong is 5 years old and soon her meridians would form which will reveal true extent oh her talent it should be in about a week’s time , I think Ning Lian already has plans to do it in secret as the incident last time with Ning Dong truly shocked every one .

the anticipation building within me is palpable, like a hummingbird's wings fluttering against my chest. it's about the impending revelation of Ning Rong's true talent.

But amidst the excitement, there's an enigma that continues to linger in the recesses of my mind: Ning Rong's striking appearance. Those lustrous silver locks cascading down her shoulders, akin to strands of moonlight woven into her hair, and those captivating pink eyes, reminiscent of delicate cherry blossoms in full bloom, seem too perfect to be random genetic anomalies. I can't help but wonder if her appearance has been subtly altered on a DNA level, perhaps by the crystal of that enigmatic naga with silver scales and pink eyes. It's a theory that seems plausible,

That Naga had affiliation with the destructive lightning element. As I ponder the origins of Ning Rong's unusual features, my thoughts inevitably drift to her left eye. There's a distinct possibility that it possesses some latent lightning-type ability, a remnant of the naga's elemental influence. The mere thought of such power lying dormant within her fills me with a mixture of awe and trepidation. What wonders might she be capable of unleashing once her true potential is unlocked?

But before Ning Rong's meridian formation ceremony, there's another important task at hand: preparing a special gift for her. I've been hard at work crafting rune spell scrolls, a skill I never knew I possessed until recently. When I revealed this newfound talent to Ning Lian, she was shocked beyond belief. But she wasted no time in putting my skills to good use, helping me sell the scrolls to gather funds for Ning Rong's ceremony.

As I stroll along the beach owned by our clan, the salty breeze caresses my skin, carrying with it the whispers of generations past. Here, amidst the golden sands and azure waves, I find solace in the timeless beauty of nature's embrace. The rhythmic lapping of the waves against the shore serves as a soothing melody, lulling me into a state of tranquil introspection.

I can't help but marvel at the intricate formations that dot the landscape, like ancient guardians silently watching over the sea. These formations, in conjunction with runes, play a crucial role in maintaining the qi levels of our surroundings. It's a delicate balance, one that requires constant vigilance and meticulous care. And yet, it's also a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of ancestorsof ning clan who devised these methods to harness the natural energies of our world.

I think Ning Rong might actually become a proper Jade beauty not just because of her impeccable appearance but also due to the fact that she has such crazy talent and I can tell her comprehension wouldn’t be too low either probably thanks to Ning Lian and these jade beauties are always surrounded by trouble .

As I mused over Ning Rong's potential ascent to Jade beauty status, my mind can't help but conjure up the clichés that come with such a prestigious title. Jade beauties, the epitome of elegance and grace, are often depicted as magnets for trouble, their ethereal beauty and unparalleled talent attracting envy and danger in equal measure.

In the world of cultivation, Jade beauties are revered and coveted, their presence alone capable of sparking wars and igniting rivalries that span generations. It's a fate that Ning Rong, with her extraordinary talent and breathtaking appearance, seems destined to face. And as her adoptive brother, it falls upon me to ensure her safety and well-being, even if it means reluctantly stepping out of my comfort zone of quiet solitude and immersing myself in the chaotic world of clan politics.

Despite my penchant for a quiet life spent buried in books, I find myself reluctantly accepting the role of protector, vowing to keep a vigilant eye on Ning Rong's every move. After all, in a world where danger lurks around every corner and betrayal lies in wait at every turn, it's better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to someone as precious as my sister.

But as I contemplated the myriad dangers that await Ning Rong, I can't help but inject a healthy dose of humor into the situation. After all, what's life without a little laughter to lighten the mood? So, I find myself envisioning scenarios straight out of a cheesy martial arts novel, where rival clans scheme and plot against Ning Rong, each vying for the chance to claim her as their own.

"Oh, look, here comes the infamous Jade beauty, the bane of every clan's existence," I imagine them whispering amongst themselves, their eyes gleaming with envy and malice. "Let's see who can outwit the other and win her favor!"

But amidst the chaos and turmoil, there's a glimmer of hope, a silver lining in the storm clouds that loom overhead. Perhaps Ning Rong's unique soul physique, forged through a mysterious resonance with the gem of that enigmatic naga, holds the key to her survival. It's a theory that seems plausible, given the countless mutations and enhancements that have manifested within her.

Yet, as I ponder the implications of Ning Rong's extraordinary abilities, a sobering realization dawns upon me. This phenomenon, this convergence of soul and gem, is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, a rare and precious anomaly that defies all logic and reason. And it's a phenomenon that will likely never be replicated with any other physique but hers, making her all the more valuable—and all the more vulnerable—in the eyes of those who seek to exploit her.

The mysterious resonance with that gem may hold far greater significance than I initially realized. As I reflect on the improbable series of events that led to my second chance at life, it becomes increasingly clear that the gem's influence may extend far beyond Ning Rong's extraordinary abilities. That gem might also be the reason i was able to gain a second chance at life

It's almost as if fate itself intervened, orchestrating a sequence of events that culminated in my miraculous resurrection. Could it be that the gem, with its power and enigmatic properties, played a pivotal role in guiding me back from the brink of death? The thought lingers in the back of my mind, tantalizing and elusive, like a puzzle waiting to be solved.

Perhaps there's a deeper connection between Ning Rong's soul physique and my own inexplicable revival, a bond that transcends mere coincidence and defies rational explanation. After all, stranger things have happened in this world of cultivation, where the line between reality and myth is often blurred beyond recognition.

But regardless of the true nature of that gem's influence, one thing remains abundantly clear: it has granted me a precious gift, a second chance at life that I refuse to squander.
