It was as if a stormy sea had broken out in his body. Boiling power surged through his limbs and bones. The originally calm and gentle primary qi had completely poured into his cells.
It seemed that the cells were undergoing a transformation. When the new qi returned from the cells to the meridians, it had already been thoroughly transformed.
The newly born qi had become mid-ranked qi and had a unique attribute. Liszt stood quietly in the small garden, motionless. His mood was like a flower in full bloom. He tried to suppress his excitement and experience the newly born mid-ranked qi. The mission was real, and it had already brought him a sublimation of qi.
He had now truly become an Earth Knight!
For qi cultivation, this was a temporary new starting point. The Earth Knight represented true extraordinary power.
"My qi attribute is fire, which is a bit conflicting with the water attribute of the [Thousand Layered Waves]. It seems that I have to prepare a new mid-ranked qi secret book … I originally thought that I would awaken a water-attributed qi like the Count's family." Liszt was not very satisfied with the fire attribute.
Water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness.
There was also the metal attribute represented by dragons and the wood attribute represented by elves, both of which had magical properties.
There was no distinction between high and low attributes, it was just a power attribute. However, the Tulip family had been studying water-attributed qi since before they had obtained the count's fief. The [Thousand Layered Waves] was also a top-notch water-attributed secret book, which contained a lot of cultivation experience.
The younger generation would get twice the result with half the effort.
However, it was not suitable for Liszt to cultivate the [Thousand Layered Waves]. If he forced himself to cultivate it, he would only get half the result with twice the effort.
Fire-attributed qi was naturally more suitable for cultivating fire-attributed secret books.
"Teacher Markus is of the wind attribute and cultivates the [Against the Wind Breaker] secret book, which is also incompatible with my attribute. Let me think, when I was in the Knight Academy, I came into contact with the [Fire Surge] secret book … In a few days, I will arrange for Teacher Markus to return to Coral City and fetch it for me. "
During this period of time, his mid-ranked qi needed to be nurtured and stabilized, so he was not in a hurry to cultivate the secret book.
In fact, Liszt was not in a hurry to improve his strength. It was true that aristocrats had to go to the battlefield, but Coral Island was far away from the continent, so there were very few battles. As the count's third son, the aristocrats of the Coral Island would not look for trouble with him, so he could develop with peace of mind.
Moreover, no matter how powerful one's cultivation was, he would still be nothing more than a handful of dirt in a hundred years.
It would be nice to be a lord and enjoy the service of servants. He could just leave the fighting and killing to his subordinates.
"Of course, being able to advance to an Earth Knight is still an exciting thing. This means that it's basically very difficult for me to fall sick. My resistance to cold and heat has also greatly increased! In this world, is there anything better than being healthy and living to a ripe old age? "
He heaved a long sigh of relief.
Liszt's excitement had already calmed down. He turned around and walked towards the castle.
The valet trotted over, trying to find something to serve him. "Master, you've just finished your Knight training. Do you need me to prepare your bath water again?"
"Will it be troublesome?"
"Of course not. It's our honor to serve you."
"Alright, prepare another bath."
…
Dinner.
Markus and Gort arrived as scheduled.
"Liszt, your complexion is getting healthier. It seems that you have fully recovered. This is worth a drink." Gort picked up a glass of wine and took a few deep breaths. He was addicted to wine.
This was a common problem among aristocrats.
Markus's eyes flickered: "Sir Baron, you … broke through?"
"Just an hour ago, I had a feeling that my qi cultivation has made new progress." Liszt said in a reserved manner. After all, breaking through to an Earth Knight at the age of sixteen was not something to be proud of.
"Congratulations, Sir!" Said Markus solemnly. His tone had changed slightly. Originally, he had to call him 'Baron', but now, he directly addressed him as Sir. This was a good change.
Gort immediately exclaimed, "Wow, this is really great news. No wonder when I went out today, the magpies were circling around the town and chirping. Liszt, you are indeed the son of the Earl. You have inherited the excellent bloodline of the Tulip family. You will definitely grasp power! "
"Compared to my brother and sister, my aptitude is not outstanding. I can only make up for it by practicing harder."
"If you can think like this, it proves that you are also excellent. The great figures in history did not always perform well at a young age. Striving to catch up and keep improving is the creed of a Knight. I see such a quality in you."
"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Gort."
"So tonight, we have to celebrate and drink a few more glasses." Gort smiled and turned to Butler Carter and said, "Mr. Carter, in order to celebrate Liszt's promotion to an Earth Knight, shouldn't you take out the good wine from the castle's wine cellar and celebrate the moment of glory?"
Old Carter smiled: "I think so too, Mr. Gort."
However, he did not move. Whether to drink wine or not, the castle master had to decide.
Liszt did not disappoint him and nodded: "Mr. Carter, please take out a bottle of Crescent Wine and prepare a pudding for each gentleman and lady."
"As you wish, Master." Carter turned and left, going downstairs to the wine cellar.
Passing by the kitchen door, he said: "Mrs. Abby, Master has rewarded everyone with an extra pudding for dinner."
Abby Ladle, a fat woman, shouted: "Cream pudding? Oh, my God, Master is too generous, there is no need to do this. The maid can eat anything, and we don't have much cream in storage. "
The kitchen maid Irene, who was mopping the floor, raised her head expectantly: "Mr. Carter, can the kitchen maid also add a pudding?"
"Of course, today is a joyous day, Master has advanced to an Earth Knight!"
"Oh, my God, Master is so great!" Abby exclaimed in admiration, turned around and shouted, "Irene, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and finish mopping the floor, then go to the storeroom and bring the cream over. Today is Master's joyous day, he will give you the pudding that you can only eat on holidays. Cheer up and work! "
"Got it, Mrs. Abby, praise Master."
… …
Crescent Wine.
It was a specialty of Coral Island, brewed from grapes picked on the first new moon in autumn.
Tulip Castle had a grape lesser. Among the grapes grown, there was a special variety used to make wine. The taste was not as good, but the wine brewed was sweet and piercingly cold. It was a superior wine, famous in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. Every year, the court would come to purchase a batch.
When Liszt left Tulip Castle, he brought a box with him.
"A bottle of Crescent Wine that has been stored in the cellar for a long time, like an old story fluttering from the deep passage of time, quietly telling you what is true beauty, what is the taste of eternity." Gort shook the crystal goblet, watching the bright red liquid rise and fall along the crystal wall, as if he was a poet expressing his emotions.
Liszt took a sip.
To be honest, he didn't think that wine was good to drink. He didn't like any kind of wine, he only liked to eat fermented wine. His body inherited from his predecessor had a certain ability to taste wine, and he was also very adaptable to various tastes of wine.
Therefore, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, he drank some wine when he had nothing to do.
In any case, without highly distilled wine, it was very difficult to get drunk.
"Right, Teacher Gort, is there a problem with the peanut settlement's peanuts?" He suddenly remembered his new mission. His qi had already sublimated, so he was very eager for a new reward.
"Oh, it is indeed so. Maybe this year's weather is not very good, the peanut settlement is probably going to fail. I have sent people to check, a large area of the peanut fields has withered and turned yellow. In a few days, they will die … Poor serfs, they have to starve before winter. "Although he said it was pitiful, Gort didn't have the least bit of sympathy on his face.
Liszt put down the goblet.
