Bai Jingshen sat in the room next door with Pearl, constantly applying the barrier around them and Alex with the help of his earring.
He had known what was coming, and still, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"People stop learning Daos after they reach the Immortal Realm," he said to Pearl. "Not because it's not good, but because it takes too long a time to learn them. All that effort could instead be spent on cultivating, which at this point leads to better outcomes for them."
Pearl looked toward Bai Jingshen, waiting for him to speak further.
"But he… he is somehow doing both faster and is losing on neither front. His cultivation base is improving quite rapidly, and he is learning Dao on top of it. That's… incredible."
Bai Jingshen had thought he had gotten used to the surprise that came with being around the young human, but he was proven to be mistaken once more.
Once more, Alex had shown him something he had never seen before.
"Did Brother just learn a Dao?" Pearl asked.
