Drega was not surprised he just stared at the tree and disappeared.
Ethan's body was still glowing with soul force but the six stars were no longer present .
Everything felt normal the atmosphere was serene and quiet,but suddenly the golden fruit appeared just in front of Ethan.
It was during this moment that Drega also appeared.
Ethan was confused and had a bit of fear in his heart, what was the fruit doing outside his body,and he also didn't know that Drega could come out of the space in his body.
He wanted badly to blow Drega with bomb of questions but he could not do so as the expression on Drega's face portrayed that he was in no mood in entertaining questions.
If one looked closely at the fruit one would discover a bit of motion as though it was vibrating.
Ethan and Drega were probably oblivious of this, as they were both engrossed in their own world of thoughts .
But as time went on the vibrations from the fruit became forceful and became too obvious for Drega and Ethan not to notice.
The vibration from the fruit was mysteriously stirring the wind,the flow of wind in the room became a bit violent .
It didn't take long before the air around the fruit grew truculent,it swirled round the fruit forming an infinitesimal tornado.
The action of swirling was protracted,but most amazingly the infinitesimal tornado that swallowed the fruit didn't grow in size,but the force and energy inside of it was enormous and destructive.
Suddenly a bright light emanated from inside of the tornado,it was probably the fruit.
The infinitesimal tornado surprisingly halted as soon as the light glowed.
The tornado suddenly began to spin in the opposite direction,swirling backwards made it to gradually lose its energy and also transform back into thin air,its origin,the phenomenon was strange.
Ethan seemed to have been impacted as his eyes glowed with insight,little did he know that the mystery behind the glowing light shall be one the things that shall make him a powerful expert in the future.
Drega was astonished and shocked,he was an expert so he could predict the amount of energy the tornado carried,it would be able to transform a one thousand fury rock into fragments(fury a unit of measurement).
For the light to have the ability to just disperse the destructive energy in it into an innocuous one was no easy feat.
But they were yet to be amazed enough,the tornado had finally vanished but the golden fruit could no longer be seen,in place of it were two globe of coloured liquid,one was golden in colour while the other was white.
They had not recovered from the shock when suddenly the golden globe darted towards Ethan.
Before Ethan could move a finger or even say a word the golden globe had already appeared before him all he could do was to hope for the best.
Drega didn't move an inch, he didn't appear to be worried about Ethan he had his eyes on the white globe which was slowly transforming into a cocoon.
The golden globe attached itself to Ethan's hand and it was astonishingly absorbed by Ethan's body like as though his body was a sponge.
But in real sense it was not Ethan's body that absorbed the globe but rather the globe that entered into Ethan's body.
As soon as the golden globe entered into Ethan's body it immediately transformed into millions of infinitesimal globes which sped to various directions in Ethan's body,it felt as though they were workers who were assigned to construct a building.
An huge amount of the tiny balls went for Ethan's bones,they entered into the bones in their enormous numbers.
Some went for his organs even his heart,it felt as though they wanted to strengthen his body,some of his organs were already beginning to sparkle golden.
But the most abundant and noticeable group went for an important part in Ethan's body and that is his dantian.
It didn't take long before the tiny balls arrived at Ethan's dantian,Ethan's dantian was like a huge rectangular box it was boundless and vast,it seemed impossible for something as huge as the dantian to be in Ethan's body.
The tiny golden globes suddenly began to transform into a gentle blue coloured energy that began to fill up Ethan's dantian.
This energy is qi,in this world there are four categories of qi which humans could wield.
But not everyone could reach or connect with the first three set of qi.
The usual one which is mostly seen,that which every average human could wield.
it is known as plain qi,it always appeared in a pure white colour.
Cultivators with Plain qi would posses less qi capacity compared to cultivators who has one of the remaining three qi.
The qi placed second is known as Gate qi,it always appear in a cyan colour,it is usually found amongst cultivators and warriors who are fairly talented,it is most times found among bloodline warriors.
The third ranked qi which is Essence qi is precisely the blue coloured qi which was in Ethan's dantian.
It is always found among cultivators of great talent and high comprehension abilities,though it was not easily reached but it was not rare.
Among Ethan's contemporaries in Giglake family there are at least twenty of them who had an essence qi excluding Ethan.
No external force could help any human in wielding qi,as long as you are not powerful than the powers of the world you can't change the qi of a human,even as powerful as Ethan's soul is, it could not change his qi.
So it meant that the tiny golden globe were not the cause of the blue coloured qi,it was Ethan,the globe only dispersed what it had taken in,so meaning that Ethan connected with essence qi with his own talent .
The first on the list of qi is known as the Gray qi,it was a very mysterious kind of qi,it was not like the rest of the qi which could only be reached at the beginning of one's cultivation life.
Gray qi can only be connected with when one had grown and gotten to a powerful cultivation base,but it was still not enough it required extreme talent and heaven defying comprehension ability.
Connecting with gray qi was very risky and deadly making it rare among warriors of this world.
Ethan was currently screaming in pain but there was a strange expression of ecstasy plastered on his face.
Ethan could feel it,he could feel the power,the feeling of qi,it always disappeared anytime he felt it in the past,but now it stayed.
His body no longer glowed with soul force,but was filled with thick black sweat.
He was happy not only was he a soul master,but he is also a real qi cultivator.
He didn't care much about the pain, though he was screaming but the pains were not enough to overcome the joy and happiness in his heart.
He was no longer worried about the operation of the golden globe in his body.
All of his bones were filled with golden lines,they looked more tough and durable than before his body strength would have received a great leap.
Essence qi was swimming in Ethan's dantian like a river,Ethan's dantian would sure be filled with ecstasy,it would finally be able to do it's job.
