Spirit Perception

"Did you bring it?"

Yao Yin nodded, so Xiao Fang opened the door a bit wider to let her in.

"Sorry I'm late," she said before giving him a gift.

"What is this?" Xiao Fang asked while inspecting the twirling little stick in his hand.

"It's called spirit candy. It's pretty popular here in the inner court."

Xiao Fang sniffed it, but it didn't give off a scent. It seemed harmless so he eventually gave it a try, but soon after he put it in his mouth he started to cringe. It was sour, but also very sweet.

As the candy slowly dissolved in his mouth he could feel the spirit qi begin to enter his dantian. As great as it was, Xiao Fang's cultivation was already in the Profound realm, so he would need many dozens of these to even make a single breakthrough.

"Not bad. It's really sweet and strangely addicting. How much was it?" He asked.

Even though she gave it to him as a gift, he didn't like owing favors.
