******* First practices ***********
Today, I was given the first guidelines for imbuing qi into notebooks. For now, I have to practice the basics. For that, I've been sent to the discarded material storeroom. Here, there're the ones that have gone wrong when writing the characters or imbuing qi, whether they're whole notebooks or single pages.
My job is to find and separate the first ones, the ones that don't have qi, to practice on them. For now, I have to imbue qi in any way, even if it doesn't make sense. Later, I'll learn how to do it for real.
I'm separating and practicing, at the same time that I'm paying attention to the notebooks with qi. If I find two of the same skill with errors in different parts, which added together can make a complete notebook, I'll keep it. It's easy to recognize where the problem is, they have a red cross on the page. As I go through them, I'm sorting them by without qi and with qi. Within these, by topic. That way, I'll be able to get complete notebooks. Or so I hope.
Today I got two, both of them with showy attacks that require the Soul realm to start. They're useless by now, but it doesn't cost me anything to store them. At least, it didn't seem I've used up too much qi. The process of imbuing it into the notebooks is slow and tedious, but not particularly demanding in terms of consumption. At least, for now.
After showing my progress, and being evaluated as acceptable, I end my day at the techniques copying workshop.
----------
I try to take advantage of every free moment I have to study the notebook, and look through the manual of the Residence. Maybe, I shouldn't be so impatient and take it easy, but I'm eager to learn more.
I was annoyed that I had to do the job of bringing water from the river. It's one of the most tedious and difficult to get out of. But it turns out I've been lucky.
The free space in the residence is mostly just dirt and rocks, but I can remodel it. The manual explains how to create the base for a pond, or a lake. I've filled it with water from the river, enough to do my task several times. I'll have to come back more to continue filling it when I have time. So, I don't have to go back and forth to the river to fill the barrels. I can hide and get it from my artificial pond, while I continue reading.
I don't quite understand everything it says. For now, I think I'll have to practice and see it with my own eyes before moving on to absorbing and giving qi. Giving qi has to be done carefully, so as not to arouse suspicion if someone advances too quickly. I can do it through sex, and then absorb more than I gave. Although, thanks to that, I can help expand their container, to advance faster. But first, I have to understand how qi is perceived. I don't quite understand it.
I've been leaving seeds in the area at the Residence near the water. I wonder if any will grow. I can make large spaces for the pond, but small holes to plant the seeds is too precise for the control I have. So, I've left them on the ground.
I've also collected some fruits in the warehouse. It seems that they don't count as living matter, and they don't spoil. It's as if time doesn't pass there.

When I get back to the bedroom, Shi is lying down. I don't know how she's today, but if she's sleeping, it's better if I won't wake her up. I wanted to try some things, but it can wait. I don't want to wake her up. If she has gone to bed, it means she needs to rest.
Or maybe not. She gets up as soon as she hears me. It seems that she wasn't sleeping yet. She smiles at me and hugs me. Then, she gives me a light kiss. She seems to be better.
"How, are you?" I ask her, hugging her waist.
"Fine..." she answers, without saying anything else. It's not necessary. We already know each other.
I kiss her. She didn't expect it. It's not something we usually do, but she accepts my kiss.
"Ah~" she moans, surprised.
I've tried the technique with my tongue, with a little qi in certain points. The sensation is strange and pleasant to me, but it has taken her by surprise. Although, it doesn't seem to be unpleasant for her, as she immediately places her moistened lips on mine again.
Our tongues intertwine in my mouth, as I apply tiny bursts of qi. I have one hand on her back, caressing her and testing her pressure points. When I find them, I apply a gentle caress of qi. She shivers at each one, never parting our lips except to breathe. Each time we do, she gasps and looks at me in disbelief, but also with passion, a passion new to her.
My other hand explores her buttocks and legs. I have to apply the qi even more gently there, because it's more intense. I'm gradually improving my control so that it isn't too sudden. She's already had two small orgasms, and her vagina is soaked. She's sitting on me, so I can feel it on my legs and on my dick. It's erect and caressing her entrance.
She caresses my back while she rubs herself against my manhood, which is soaked with her fluids
"Ah, ah, ah~" she gasps when our lips separate. She's looking at me as she's never done before, overcome by the pleasure she's feeling.
She lets herself fall back. She rests her back against the straw bed, without letting go of me completely with her hands, and inviting me to enter inside her. I move closer and caress her breasts, her nipples, testing the qi on even more sensitive pressure points. I've used even less qi, but she shivers again.
"Aahh~" she moans, and she immediately covers her mouth with her hands. I bite her neck gently. I apply qi to my teeth, and to my hands. They continue caressing each of her breasts, and go down to her navel.
"Mmmmhh, mmmmhh, mMMMMHHH~" she gasps. She is trying to desperately silencing her voice with her hands, as she reaches another orgasm.
I go down with my mouth. I kiss and bite her collarbone, go through her armpits, her chest, her nipples, while applying qi with extreme softness. She continues panting, but it doesn't seem like she's going to reach an orgasm again.
My hands are on her hip and her leg. They're caressing her, testing her. I still need a lot of practice to have her on the edge of orgasm and provoke it whenever I want. Nonetheless, I'm starting to understand what it meant to graduate the qi in the different areas.
