Proving one's status starting with magical girls

The girl looked at the seed in her hand, which was shimmering with light, and her emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

She murmured, "Master...you mean, as long as I use this seed, I can transform into a magical girl?"

"good."

"But..."

"I know what you're thinking. You're just worried because you used someone else's things, right?"

Li Jiangqun nodded hesitantly, but Yuan An only said softly.

"I have no intention of making decisions for you here. Whether you become a magical girl or not is entirely up to you... but think it through carefully, lest you do something you'll regret."

She looked at the seed lying quietly in her palm, then at the beast that was advancing step by step in the distance.

Don't... regret it.

Every moment, someone is being injured or dying because of the evil beasts. Without becoming a magical girl, one cannot save others.

Li Jiangqun, what are you still considering?

Isn't becoming a magical girl your dream?

The girl closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them, her eyes filled with an indescribable determination.

She asked firmly.

"Master, what should I do?"

"Your resolve to follow the Dao is firm, excellent, excellent, excellent!"

Yuan An praised three times, thinking, "He truly deserves to be my disciple. He is kind-hearted yet not pedantic. If this isn't a talent for cultivation, then what is? Someone like Chi Wei?"

He said seriously.

"Place the Xuan Mirror in front of you and offer the seed."

The girl did as instructed.

"Okay, now close your eyes and calm your mind."

Once everything was ready, Yuan An used the elixir of immortality and began to use a mysterious technique to connect with the seed of hope outside the mirror.

The so-called elixir of immortality is one of the five essentials of immortals. Before the establishment of the ancient Daoist tradition, mortals sought immortality and asked questions, traversing mountains and rivers and experiencing all kinds of hardships before finally being able to become disciples of the Immortal Mystery Sect.

He thought he could cultivate his Qi and enter the Dao, eventually becoming an immortal, but the immortal said that he had no spiritual apertures and that even a hundred years of cultivation would only amount to a handful of yellow earth.

The mortal had endured countless hardships, abandoning his wife and daughters and severing all ties with the mortal world to reach this point. Now, upon hearing the immortal say that all his previous actions had been in vain, he was filled with sorrow. He felt that he was born with misfortune and a tragic fate. Overwhelmed with grief, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and died on the spot.

Therefore, a sage, unable to bear seeing those who sought the Dao and worshipped immortality repeat his mistakes, seized the creation of heaven and earth to refine an elixir of immortality, which contained profound sayings and maxims. Thus, the elixir of immortality was also called the elixir of immortality by the ancients.

From then on, whenever there were people who lacked the means to worship immortals, the Mystic Lord would bestow upon them immortal medicine, transforming it into spiritual essence and energy, thus enabling mortals to cultivate their inner nature and embark on the path of cultivation.

Later, because those who took the elixir often attained high positions and resided under the three yin realms, there was a saying that they could fly to the moon and form a yin talisman.

The elixir of immortality in Yuan An's hand, the Yin Talisman, also bears some resemblance to the image of Taiyin Jielin!

"I already reside in the Taiyin position. Now, I will use my position to connect with the Yin Talisman, thereby drawing upon the golden essence outside the mirror. Finally, I will bestow the Yin Talisman upon Qun'er, enabling her to activate the golden essence and become a magical girl in a single day!"

Under the influence of Yuan An's True Lord status, a illusory moon appeared, causing the Seed of Hope to continuously bloom with dazzling light, which made him instantly understand.

"If I use the Yin Talisman to connect, during the transformation, this golden element and the Yin Talisman will merge into one, and it should transform into a golden element of the Taiyin Dao..."

Knowing that it was the Taiyin sect, Yuan An felt much more at ease.

"Disciple, recite the method of guidance that I had you memorize before, facing the Xuanjing."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiangqun's thoughts returned to last night, and after that profound and mysterious saying flowed through her mind, she spoke softly.

"Li Jiangqun, a disciple of the Li family, respectfully requests the profound and wondrous Dharma, the God of Destiny, and the Spirit of Peace, to practice the Dao."

Yuan An nodded. After all, in his memory, there was only this one sentence about the method of guidance. So, with a thought, the mirror surface began to shimmer, and he said in a deep voice.

"Now, the sons and daughters of the Li family have abandoned their desires, stopped their transgressions, and severed the roots of evil."

"Bestowing upon them the profound and wondrous Dharma, enabling them to nurture their spiritual foundation, to progress from the mortal to the divine, from beginning to end, first receiving the seal of authority, and then transforming into a sage."

This was not the incantation created after the immortal medicine was bestowed by Xianxuan, but rather a modified incantation created on the spot by Yuan An based on the golden Dao essence in the seed and incorporating the magical girl's contract.

From that golden object, he learned that to become a magical girl in this world, he needed a second Xuanxiu called a "fairy" or "familiar" as a witness to sign a contract with the magical girl.

Only then, through the power of the contract, will the gold position lend out its mystical power, allowing the contractor to become a magical girl.

In other words, Yuan An, to some extent, became his foolish disciple's contracted familiar...

However, this is actually good news for Yuan An.

After all, the fact that magical girls could gain power without any side effects made him somewhat uneasy, but now that he knew about the contract, he felt much more at ease.

"It's better than having my life and soul held in someone else's hands, with no chance of ever turning things around," he thought to himself.

A white ball suddenly appeared on the mirror, round and bright, shimmering with white light. Li Jiangqun felt a cool sensation on the top of her head as the white ball disappeared into her scalp and then settled steadily in her dantian.

"...Master, can I transform now?" she whispered.

Yuan An answered confidently.

"I have briefly linked your energy with this Seed of Hope. As long as you utter the word 'transformation,' you will become a magical girl!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiangqun was overjoyed, her petite body trembling slightly with excitement.

Magical girl...she can finally transform into a magical girl!

She took a deep breath, trying to force herself to calm down, but how could she possibly stay calm when her long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled?

Her eyes were bright, and she held the seed of hope in her small hand. With hope and expectation in her heart, she said the words she had wanted to say since she was a child.

"Transform!"

The seed of hope blossomed brilliantly, illuminating the girl's entire body, but it did not instantly transform her into a magical girl.

"...Huh?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Jiangqun's face turned deathly pale.

"...Master, I...I...can't transform!"

The girl was panicked and at a loss, but Yuan An remained calm and composed.

"Don't panic, girl. You should know that all things have the same origin. The incantation for magical girl transformation is the supreme method that connects heaven and earth. Only by reciting it can one become a magical girl."

Simply shouting "Transform!" won't work.

"You need to unite your thoughts with this seed of transformation, then follow your heart and say the transformation incantation."

Li Jiangqun was on the verge of tears.

"I...I don't know how!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan An's heart skipped a beat.

"How is this possible... Oh no! Only the Yin level of the Elixir of Immortality can activate the Transformation Seed, but she hasn't even embarked on cultivation yet, so she can't activate that level!"
