Ernesté, Vadasi

The young girl standing next to the bus stop was beautiful and had a smile on her face.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Qing."

"We meet again, Senior Jiang Qun."

Li Jiangqun looked somewhat surprised and asked curiously.

How do you know my name?

The girl with pigtails blinked and then moved closer to her.

"Hey, have you forgotten me so quickly? We only broke up not long ago." She pressed her hands lightly to her chest, deliberately putting on a heartbroken and pitiful look.

These words were like a switch that was suddenly flipped, causing Li Jiangqun to connect certain scenes in an instant.

Blue hair, twin tails, blue eyes, and that familiar tone of voice…

Her eyes widened, her tone revealing her surprise.

"Holy crap! Hatsune Miku!"

"..."

The girl with pigtails looked at Li Jiangqun with a look of utter despair.

"...I'm the person who exchanged contact information with you yesterday."

"Ah! You're that magical girl from yesterday!"

Seeing that Li Jiangqun had finally recognized her, the girl with pigtails put on a sweet smile again and then gave a spirited "V" sign.

"That's right! It's me, Magic Inagi, Jiang Qing DESU!"

Li Jiangqun looked at her in shock.

"What's a magical girl doing here?"

"Has another ferocious beast appeared nearby?! Oh no, I have to notify the countermeasures department immediately!"

Seeing the girl with the ponytail hurriedly take out her phone to call the hotline for the countermeasures department, Jiang Qing's smile froze.

She angrily turned off Li Jiangqun's phone, which was about to make a call, and then said with dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong? It's me, are you unhappy?"

The girl quickly waved her hand.

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised..."

"You're surprised? I'm surprised too!" Jiang Qing crossed her arms.

"You promised to call me when you got back yesterday, but I waited all night and all I got was a spam call from someone selling villas!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiangqun felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, she rushed to see her master as soon as she got home yesterday, and then cultivated all night under the moonlight, so she naturally forgot about the matter.

However, she quickly realized what was happening and said somewhat irritably.

"Didn't you promise me before that you would ensure Wang Fanfan's safety?"

A big question mark appeared above the girl's head.

Who is Wang Fanfan?

"...Magic Incandescent".

Jiang Qing had a look of sudden realization.

"Oh, so her real name is Wang Fanfan..."

"Ahem! That's not important!"

"The important thing is that you actually lied to me! What happened to your glorious spirit as a magical girl?!" Li Jiangqun said angrily.

As a loyal supporter of magical girls, she believes that magical girls should be the embodiment of truth, goodness, and beauty!

Magical girls should be pure, innocent, gentle, kind, brave, righteous, beautiful, fragrant, and soft... cough cough, in short, magical girls can't be lied to!

Hearing her words, Jiang Qing pouted.

"What glorious spirit? We threw it all away long ago."

"Besides, she's an official magical girl, and I'm a magical girl from the Otherworld, so we're not even in the same system."

"Besides, the people from the final countermeasures section brought her back safely, didn't they? I didn't lie to you."

The girl with pigtails spoke with a grin, while Li Jiangqun remained silent, staring at her with a gloomy expression.

"Ahem." Seemingly feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Jiang Qing could only change the subject.

"Anyway, this matter is in the past, so there's no point in talking about it now."

"How about we discuss the power you used last night, Senior Jiang Qun? Spell? Magic? Mysticism?"

"Anyway, senior, you're not going to fool me today!"

Looking at the silly girl in front of her, Li Jiangqun felt a slight headache.

Although her master didn't say she couldn't pass on her cultivation methods to others, this kind of thing doesn't seem like something that can be done casually!

Moreover, she didn't even know if this magical girl possessed any spiritual abilities.

If there's no spiritual aperture, does that mean I'll have to ask my master to use another immortal elixir like she did?

After much thought, she decided to put it aside for now and ask her master for his opinion when she got back.

She had no choice but to make up a lie with a serious expression.

"Actually, I am a magical girl, but my contracted beast ran away with the transformation seed. Yesterday's situation was because I used the remaining magical energy in my body, which is why I looked like that. You've mistaken me for someone else."

But the latter just looked at her with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Then she stretched out a slender, white finger in front of the girl.

"First, the seed that allows a magical girl to transform is called the Seed of Hope, not the Transformation Seed. This is something that every magical girl is told by her familiar after signing the contract."

Then, she extended her second finger.

"Secondly, familiars are the embodiment of seeds of hope. Once a contract is signed, a familiar cannot leave its magical girl."

Then she extended her third finger.

"Finally, the power of magical girls is the power of miracles and hope, and it fluctuates constantly with their emotions."

"But senior, the power you used yesterday was very stable, and its nature is different from that of a magical girl. Any magical girl could tell that."

After Jiang Qing finished speaking expressionlessly, an awkward silence fell over the small platform.

Now that things had come to this, Li Jiangqun took a deep breath and decided to stop trying to hide it.

She said it with a serious expression.

"Okay, looks like you found out."

"Actually, I'm a cultivator. Do you know what a cultivator is? Do you know the 'Legend of the Mortal Immortal Race'?"

"Qi Refining experts, Foundation Establishment powerhouses, Golden Core True Monarchs, Nascent Soul old monsters—these are nothing more than minor cultivators at the Deity Transformation stage."

"Moreover, as the saying goes, the classics must originate from the Three Mysteries..."

Looking at the ponytail-wearing girl in front of her, who seemed to be talking endlessly about some kind of cultivation theory, Jiang Qing suddenly felt that her own "Free and Easy Extreme" skill was not yet fully developed.

Like that kind of—

Peers: Magical Girl

Me: A Qi Refining Master

It's just...

How can she say these things without batting an eye?

Could she really be a top-tier cultivator?

The thought involuntarily arose in her mind. After suppressing the urge to dig her toes into the ground, Jiang Qing couldn't help but ask.

"So cultivating immortality can make one live forever and have good health, right?"

Li Jiangqun was taken aback by her question. After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that since she had cultivated the Xuanjing Wheel, her physical condition seemed to have improved a lot, and she hadn't been sick recently.

Moreover, according to my master, as long as one cultivates a bit of the immortal golden nature and becomes a true lord, one will be free from the constraints of heaven and earth and live for ten thousand years.

Isn't this a kind of immortality?

So she simply nodded.

"That's right!"

After she finished speaking, Jiang Qing had already knelt on the ground, holding her right hand with both hands, and said excitedly.

"Please! Senior Jiang Qun, teach me how to cultivate immortality!"

"I can do anything!"
