Ingrid knew Luan was special, and what was happening now was more than enough proof. If things continued like this, it was possible he would reach the edge of the Third Order...

Ingrid took a deep breath.

'Am I seeing things?' Ingrid swore she saw a fairy circling around the pillar of Qi, but then she saw another fairy. 'What is happening?'

More and more fairies appeared and entered the pillar of Qi and began to twirl around the pillar of light as if they were in an amusement park.

"This is funny!"

Ingrid heard a clear, smooth voice, even a little childish. When she went to see, there were already more than 100 of these fairies… Even Elias, Maira, and the rest noticed this and stopped what they were doing in awe.

Ingrid turned around and yelled, "Those who are still meditating, go back to training; don't slow down!"

"Yes ma'am!" Afraid, they returned to what they had been doing.

Ingrid didn't want the resources Luan managed to get wasted. Maira saw this and laughed.

"Are these fairies?" Cristina blinked her big eyes and looked curiously.

The other three children were also standing there with their eyes shining, looking at the more than 100 fairies circling around the pillar of Qi.

"Here comes a mighty wave, get ready!" a childish voice of a pink fairy echoed. And that's when the pillar of Qi raged and expanded even more.

Ingrid freaked out and walked over and changed out the Monster Cores that were showing signs of cracking.

'Bone Refining, Level 8. I can go further!' 

Luan's eyes sharpened and his determination grew unfathomable. Anyone who saw this could only breathe weakly for fear of getting in the way. What they were seeing was something magical; it was beyond human comprehension. Fairies flitted round a pillar of light that Luan created. It wasn't every day one could see this.

The fairies start talking:

"Will he be able to break the Second Order?"

"I don't think so. It's very difficult."

"I think so! He's so close!"

"Well, he's a genius for sure. He was even able to attract us."

"I hope he makes it."

"You go human, us fairies, we're rooting for you, hehehe~~"

The voices of all the fairies were sweet and childish, but very easy to hear. If possible, Ingrid and the girls wanted one of those fairies for themselves. Of course, as a proper way of treating sentient species they couldn't do that, and they didn't dare.

Luan took a deep breath. ''Bone Refining, Level 9.' He said, "Ingrid, put on Monster Cores of the Third Order."

"Okay." Ingrid didn't dare be slow. She quickly switched to Monster Cores from the Third Order.

"Ohhh, here comes a big wave!" a fairy screamed.

The fairies danced and laughed as they circled the pillar of light. What Ingrid and the rest didn't know was that just for the simple fact that the fairies were there, it brought good luck to Luan, as they were loved by Qi, and that's why the Qi wasn't so turbulent. It wasn't difficult for Luan to make his Qi stable for the most part.

*Bang!*

"Run, he is breaking the limit and going to the Third Order! The Qi will be turbulent!" The fairies weren't warning themselves; they were warning the humans closest to them.

Hearing this, Ingrid grabbed the Monster Cores and ran. Maira and the rest also ran away.

All around, a vortex began to spin, and a dragon's roar echoed. It was frightening. Nearby sea monsters fled as if there was no tomorrow.

When the Pillar of Light disappeared, several fairies were surrounding Luan, who now had dragon scale and claw hands and dragon scale and claw feet. On his chest, the white dragon scale encircled him like a vest.

"Does he have dragon blood?"

"No, he doesn't seem to have it."

"I think he practices the ancient dragon technique."

"Should be it."

The fairies started talking again.

"Thanks," Luan said to the fairies.

"Hehe~"

"No need to thank us, we saw gentle Qi from afar and we wanted to see who it was."

"Yes, yes. It's all just a coincidence."

"But, I must say, human, you are very special. And there's a lot hidden in your body."

"Yes, yes. You must be careful not to let the evil clans find out."

"Yes, they are very scary."

"Thank you for the warning." Luan smiled at them.

"Hehe, you're embarrassing us~"

"By the way, where do you live?" Luan asked.

"Nowhere in particular. We go where there is more mana; coincidentally we showed up here."

"I see. So why didn't you start living here? I mean, this place is full of Qi, yes?" Luan asked.

"Can we?"

"I don't know, should we?"

"But we have nowhere to go, and even if we continue to wander, we don't know if we'll find a better place than this."

"Yes, and the humans seem to be kind."

After making a decision, the fairy leader said, "Okay, let's stay, but not for free. Take this as payment for our stay." She handed over a frozen tear.

"Is this a fairy tear?" Luan was surprised.

"As expected, you know. Yes, it's the queen's tear, and it was frozen."

"We smell herbs coming from you. Are you an alchemist?"

"Correct." Luan agreed.

"So use this to make pills, since you know what to do, yes?"

"Yes, I have some use for it." Luan nodded again.

"Okay, since we're going to settle down here, we need to make our home."

"By the way, can we use that big tree?" At the top of the island was a very large tree.

"Yes, make yourselves comfortable," Luan said.

"Thanks." The fairy queen smiled and all the fairies made their way towards the big tree.

"Luan." Maira and the rest came back.

"Brother, the fairies will live here, is that right?" Cristina looked excited.

"Yes, avoid bothering them. If they don't take the initiative to talk to you, don't bother them, and if they approach you when you are cultivating, be happy, because this will be of great help to you," Luan said.
