True Dragon Visualization Method
Qian Guxing picked up a plate of pastries and went to Bibi Dong's bedchamber.
Compared to when he had first met her, even Bibi Dong's appearance had changed. She seemed more serene, and her eyes and brows had softened. When she saw Qian Guxing, her lips curved into a smile.
"My disciple, do you have to bring your own food when you visit your teacher? Is the food not to your taste?"
"What are you saying, teacher?" Qian Guxing knew Bibi Dong was teasing him. He grinned, trotted over to her, set down the plate, and began kneading her shoulders and massaging her legs.
In the past, if any man, even a child, had dared get this close to Bibi Dong, she would surely have made sure he died without a burial place!
But Bibi Dong seemed to have endless tolerance for Qian Guxing. It was not just because he could suppress her Rakshasa evil thoughts, nor just because he had changed the conditions of her God Trial.
More importantly, Bibi Dong herself was very fond of this well-behaved little disciple.
"Teacher, I made these osmanthus cakes myself. Have a taste."
Qian Guxing had always been earnest in his treatment of his number-one big sister.
Seeing Qian Guxing's eager expression, Bibi Dong's queenly majesty melted away, giving way to a maternal tenderness Qian Renxue had never seen. Resting her fragrant cheek on one hand, she smiled and said:
"Feed me."
Looking at Bibi Dong, languid as a cat, Qian Guxing found her utterly alluring. Unfortunately, he had the desire but lacked the ability. He picked up an osmanthus cake and popped it into her mouth, his fingertips brushing her red lips and feeling their warmth and softness.
Bibi Dong chewed, her beautiful eyes brightening slightly. These were pastries Qian Guxing had made with his top-tier culinary skills; there was no telling how much better they tasted than those made by the cooks of the Pope's Palace.
The more Bibi Dong looked at Qian Guxing, the more she liked him. He had perfect looks, extraordinary talent, and excellent culinary skills to boot.
For some reason, when she thought of how her good disciple would someday be handed over to some unknown vixen out there, Bibi Dong, whose heart had long since found peace, actually felt a little irritated.
Bibi Dong reached out and pulled Qian Guxing into her arms.
With two great mountains above his head, Qian Guxing was under tremendous pressure. He was getting the full head-on-boob treatment.
"You little rascal are so good at charming people. When you meet other women in the future, won't you forget all about your teacher?"
Hearing Bibi Dong's strange teasing, Qian Guxing brought his approach to dealing with his number-one big sister into full play. He took her hand and said earnestly:
"You'll always be the most important family I have, teacher."
The word "family" struck a tender spot in Bibi Dong's heart.
She had been an orphan from childhood, and later came to regard her teacher, Qian Xunji, as family. But Qian Xunji had done something unforgivable to her.
For a time, Yu Xiaogang had deceived her with sweet talk, and she had regarded him as family too. Now that she had come to her senses and looked back, she saw that it had never been familial affection at all, just a scheme Yu Xiaogang had devised for fame and profit.
In the end, it had led her to make a terrible mistake.
Those two experiences, with all their tangled rights and wrongs, were bewilderingly complicated. Feeling Qian Guxing's small body against her, Bibi Dong smiled faintly.
Family? I hope so.
Bibi Dong had weathered countless storms. After being cleansed by the breath of nature, and with the Rakshasa God having given up tormenting her with Rakshasa evil thoughts, she had completely let go and become more open-minded.
A system notification sounded in Qian Guxing's ear.
[Ding! Male lead Bibi Dong's familial affection favorability has reached 60 points!]
Qian Guxing was taken aback. He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to actually be moved by such sweet words.
On reflection, Bibi Dong had been unusually calm lately. Qian Guxing could roughly guess that it had something to do with him: the breath of nature, coupled with his God King background, had made the Rakshasa God afraid to act recklessly.
Qian Guxing simply hadn't expected Bibi Dong's personality to change so much after she let go. She had gone from a crazy woman to an intellectual and alluring mature beauty.
Looks like I should treat this teacher I picked up a little better.
Qian Guxing's standard for treating others was simple: however you treated him, he would treat you in kind.
Since Bibi Dong was willing to treat Qian Guxing as family, he didn't mind sharing more opportunities with her in the future and treating her sincerely.
Before long.
The two finished dinner.
After each had washed up.
Bibi Dong lay on the bed, holding Qian Guxing like a body pillow, and said:
"Information on the Soul Beasts for your First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring has already been gathered. In three days, I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings."
"All right, thank you, teacher." Qian Guxing snuggled into Bibi Dong's arms, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes.
Qian Guxing didn't really mind either way about obtaining Soul Rings. After all, the Ancient Tree of Nature could condense Soul Rings on its own.
Still, condensing Soul Rings sooner would let him break through sooner.
Qian Guxing didn't want to waste the gift of Innate Level 20 Soul Power like Qian Renxue had.
He wanted to turn his talent into strength as quickly as possible and grow strong enough to crush everything. By then, even if the Asura God gave Tang San cheats, Qian Guxing would be able to keep himself and the people he cared about safe and sound.
Time flew by, and three days passed.
During those three days.
Qian Guxing used Shadow Clones to their fullest to develop his hand-to-hand combat, sword and saber combat, Wood Release, and spiritual secret techniques.
Of these, his spiritual secret technique made the most progress.
After all, Shadow Clones were themselves spiritual projections. Operating dozens of spiritual projections at once placed an enormous burden on his mind and was highly effective at training his spiritual power.
He only needed to make further improvements on that foundation to create a good secret method for cultivating spiritual power.
Using the principle of spiritual projection, Qian Guxing projected his spiritual power as a true dragon, letting it roam and soar through his sea of spirit!
Although this secret technique for cultivating spiritual power was still in its infancy, its effect on increasing spiritual power was obvious.
Moreover, it not only strengthened his spiritual power, but also imbued Qian Guxing's spirit with a measure of true dragon might.
In Qian Guxing's vision, if this spiritual secret technique were developed to completion, the true dragon in his sea of consciousness would be as lifelike as the real thing. It could stand guard over his sea of consciousness and protect his soul, or be released to deal real damage to an enemy's soul!
Qian Guxing named this spiritual secret technique the True Dragon Visualization Method.
"If I develop the Wood Dragon Technique in the future and combine it with the True Dragon Visualization Method, perhaps I can forge a true dragon!"
Qian Guxing had high hopes for the True Dragon Visualization Method and fully recognized its potential.
Just as Qian Guxing finished his morning visualization.
Hurried knocking came from Hu Liena outside the door.
"Junior brother, junior brother, open up!"
Qian Guxing rose at a leisurely pace and opened the door. He gave Hu Liena a lazy sidelong glance, and his meaning was clear without words.
Hu Liena immediately wilted and called out reluctantly, "Senior brother!"
Though she was unwilling to say it, Hu Liena didn't know why she so enjoyed Qian Guxing's domineering gaze—that contemptuous look that treated everyone else like paramecia.
When Qian Guxing swept that gaze over her, Hu Liena appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was already thrilled out of her mind.
Unaware that he had awakened an extraordinary trait in Hu Liena, Qian Guxing asked:
"Why are you here so early?"
"Teacher sent me." Hu Liena leaned closer, only for Qian Guxing to push her away in disgust. She grinned, unbothered. "Aren't you going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Rings? Teacher said it's time to leave."
Qian Guxing's eyes brightened slightly.
More than half a month had passed since he awakened his Martial Soul.
At last, the day to hunt for Soul Rings had arrived!
