Chapter 286 The True Zither Fairy! Her Gratitude~
*Woosh!*
Before she knew it, Song Liu entered the state of enlightenment, her gray eyes looking into the distance, lost in thought. Her hands moved, pulling each string one after another.
*ting~*
Noah was amazed to see the Dao rhythm she had around her fingers, which used to remain undisturbed but now seemed to be dancing with the tune. The qi from everywhere danced; she did not pull qi towards her, the qi in the air rushed to be around her.
*ting~*
Tian Heng and Yuan Ming also became entranced by the tune. Hei Guina did not seem to be affected by the tune, but she closed her eyes to enjoy it. Even Shisan, the hidden bodyguard, was doing the same.
Noah, on the other hand, did not do any of that. He was standing behind Song Liu, carefully noticing the changes around her body. He sensed the frequency and the movements of both the qi and the dao rhythm changing, becoming more and more fluid.
*ting!* *ting~* *ting!*
The tunes changed and became more intense; they merged, intervened, and surged around her. Surprisingly, the qi did not instantly enter her body; it soared and gathered right over her head, forming a cyclone.
The energy swirled; soon, it started throwing something dark outside the cyclone, and small foggy water droplets started to form around the wind blades of the cyclone. The moment the droplets appeared, the cyclone stopped sucking more qi inside it.
'This is similar to the process I did with my seals but slightly different and purely natural.' Noah thought as he watched the impurities in the water separating and getting thrown outside back into the air.
The condensed water droplets then moved downwards and got further purified several times, until a single purest drop of water was left in the area. No one except Noah and Elysia, who was silently stalking Noah from a distance, was able to see such a phenomenal sight.
*boop!*
The final drop of the purest qi dropped from the rear end of the cyclone directly on Song Liu's head. The cyclone vanished right after the process was finished.
Suddenly, everything became quiet all of a sudden!
*Woosh*
Then a huge wave of energy erupted from the depths of Song Liu's body, waking everyone who was listening to the dao rhythm. Noah immediately placed a seal around the girl to protect her secrets.
To the rest, it was just the normal sight of Song Liu cultivating, but to Noah and Elysia, it was the familiar sight of a translucent figure emerging from the depths of her mind.
It was the physical representation of her heart and soul body. The body rose through the air along with Song Liu and before it started glowing sharply and became more visible.
Noah noticed that the woman in the air did not open her eyes this time. But on the other hand, Song Liu's body went through an incredible change. Her skin started to moisten as her body released a huge amount of toxins and impurities stored in her body.
*Hummm!*
*Boom!*
Noah did not even have to clean her body as a huge amount of aura erupted from the depths of her body, shredding her clothes in the process. The impurities on her body were blown away as well, and her aura started to rise.
Qi Gathering Realm level 1

Qi Gathering Realm level 9

Qi Condensation Realm level 1
Her aura stabilized at the start of the Qi Condensation realm! It took her less than an incense stick's worth of time to go from mortal to someone in the Qi Condensation realm.
Soon, the aura around her body started to recede, allowing Noah to dress her up in some clothes with a wave of his hands.
Elysia kept a close eye on the scene and nodded in satisfaction, seeing Noah not interested in that girl's body.
Song Liu slowly descended to the ground; her eyes fluttered and started to open up. She looked around with a confused look on her face. She remembered engrossing in the melody of the music but afterward, she had no idea what happened.
She looked up and saw Noah smiling at her; she blinked innocently before realizing that there was something different about her body. Her body seemed stronger, and she felt like she could easily kill the previous one with a swat of her hand.
She looked down at her hands and noticed that she was wearing a different set of clothes, and then she looked around, seeing the shredded pieces of her previous robes lying around.
Fumes of smoke came out of her face as she hid her face in embarrassment. She did not expect wearing low-level clothes would bite her like this someday.
Before giving her a chance to react, Noah appeared in front of her in an instant. Song Liu froze in shock and could not move as Noah raised his hands. Her mind had stopped working for her to even imagine what he might do to her, but fortunately for her, Noah placed his finger on her forehead, sending a streak of information directly to her head.
Her eyes widened when she realized what the information was about. Her eyes moistened, and streaks of tears fell out of them. She lunged forward and threw herself in Noah's arms before she….
'Thank you~'
The most enchanting and ethereal voice entered Noah's mind through thought transmission.
The same technique that is most common in the world. Even though her voice was blocked, her thoughts were still there. He did not tell her about this before because he did not want to give her any false hope.
Noah smiled, hearing the most heartfelt thank you he had ever heard in his current life. He patted the head of the girl before separating away from her.
"I have placed a barrier so everyone thinks you are simply cultivating and no one saw the process, so keep it that way. I am not saying that you should trust no one but instead, I am saying save things for the person who you would trust the most so it would look special." Hearing Noah's words, Song Liu smiled and sent another thought.
'Looks like that person is you for now. After all, only you are the person who knows my every secret.'
