"And what's spiritual energy?"

(Spiritual) (energy) (is) (an) (ambient) (energy) (which) (gathers) (around) (living) (things) 

The two boys duck their heads and discuss something in low voices. 

(When) (you) (have) (a) (golden) (core) (you) (can) (sense) (it)

"Huh. Can anybody do that?"

(It) (helps) (to) (start) (young) (but) (Jin) (Guang) (yao) (did) (not) (and) (he) (manages)

"Wonder if I could pick it up now I'm here even though I'm from a universe without it."

Slightly excited conferring. 

(Do) (you) (want) (to) (try) (?)

"How long would it take to see if it works?"

(Cultivating) (a) (golden) (core) (takes) (years) (but) (if) (you) (can) (gather) (any) (at) (all) (then) (there) (is) (no) (reason) (you) (couldn't) 

"Okay, but how long would it take to tell if I could gather any at all?"

(We) (have) (never) (tried) (to) (teach) (some) (one) (and) (most) (start) (very) (small) (but) (probably) (not) (more) (than) (a) (few) (hours) (at) (worst) (?)

"Worth a try!"

(Do) (you) (know) (how) (to) (meditate)

"I've never tried it, and I think there are different kinds so I definitely don't know your kind."

So the two of them (i.e., Sizhui with occasional kibbitzing from Jingyi) explains how to center oneself and draw spiritual energy in. 

(You) (probably) (will) (not) (be) (able) (to) (tell) (if) (it) (is) (working) (but) (we) (can)

"Well, tell me right away if you see it working, and maybe if I can do it at the same time as precogging I'll know early."

She attempts to meditate.

Jingyi makes an excited exclamation after almost ten minutes. 

"What, already?"

(Just) (a) (little) Sizhui plays, shooting his friend an amused look. 

"Well, I guess I'm on the right track!" She will keep meditating for a bit, and see if she can get advance notice of any more excited noises so she can do whatever precedes them sooner; she can precog pretty quick if she's not pathing through a choose-your-own-adventure and just planning to meditate the whole time.

There are a couple of ways she can adjust how she's meditating that work better than others. Most of them work eventually but she can get variations on a scale of about five minutes to most of an hour. 

Cool! Then she can be meditating along at a really good clip from the start.

At one point after a precogged hour spent almost entirely meditating by a particularly effective method, Sizhui blinks in startlement and Jingyi is more visibly surprised. 

(What) (did) (you) (just) (do) Sizhui plays. 

"- uh, I'm trying lots of things in precog to see what gets you guys making excited noises since I can't sense it directly, but... I did not in fact foresee you making that noise, what happened?"

(Energy) (just) (jumped) (to) (you) (as) (though) (you) (had) (been) (meditating) (for) (about) (a) (half) (hour) (in) (the) (space) (of) (a) (second)

"- ha," she says, "what a beautiful cheat, I love it."
