Soul Master's Cultivation Manual

"Have Princess Qian Renxue acknowledge me as her teacher?"

Mu Ge was somewhat surprised when he heard Qian Daoliu's words.

Although he had taught Qian Renxue quite a lot during this time, Mu Ge also knew how highly Qian Daoliu valued Qian Renxue, so he had not expected Qian Daoliu to formally have Qian Renxue take him as her teacher.

"Of course I'm willing. It would be my honor!"

Though surprised, Mu Ge immediately agreed.

It was hardly a bad thing for him.

Becoming Qian Renxue's teacher would undoubtedly raise his standing within Spirit Hall another step.

"Haha, good!"

"Then Xiao Xue will be in your care from now on!"

Qian Daoliu was not at all surprised to see Mu Ge agree. He would have been surprised if Mu Ge had refused.

That said, he certainly would not completely entrust Qian Renxue's education to Mu Ge.

What he valued most was Mu Ge's development and application of soul skills.

Especially those Self-Created Soul Skills. If Qian Renxue could learn them from Mu Ge, that would be even better. No one would complain about having one or two more soul skills.

Thus, the following day, with Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji present as witnesses, Mu Ge officially became Qian Renxue's teacher.

Bibi Dong was still in seclusion, so she did not know about this for the time being.

If Bibi Dong found out, who knew what she would think?

She deeply disliked Qian Renxue, her daughter, and even refused to acknowledge her existence. She had only pretended to accept Qian Renxue in order to deceive Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji.

And Mu Ge, the man who had also violated her, had actually become teacher and disciple with Qian Renxue.

If Bibi Dong learned of it, she would probably want to kill Mu Ge even more.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong did not know for the moment. Until she had fully mastered Divine Slaughter's Domain, she was unwilling to leave seclusion.

Her seclusion was also meant to avoid Qian Xunji and Qian Renxue—out of sight, out of mind.

If she could leave Spirit Hall for a while, Bibi Dong would have preferred that even more.

After becoming Qian Renxue's teacher, Mu Ge did not make many changes to her instruction.

For now, Qian Renxue still focused mainly on cultivating soul power and studying knowledge about martial souls.

She did not yet need practical combat training.

Even though Qian Renxue was already a level 28 Soul Grandmaster, she was still only an eight-year-old little girl.

Time quietly passed as Mu Ge studied martial soul knowledge while teaching Qian Renxue.

"Divine Slaughter's Domain!"

Half a year after joining Spirit Hall, Mu Ge unleashed Divine Slaughter's Domain once more.

An invisible domain spread out from Mu Ge, instantly lowering the temperature around him as icy killing intent filled the air.

If ordinary people entered this domain, they would be frightened out of their wits.

Even soul masters would feel their hair stand on end within it.

"Excellent. I've finally fully mastered Divine Slaughter's Domain. I no longer have to worry about my killing intent running rampant and spiraling out of control!"

Feeling the changes within himself, Mu Ge's heart brimmed with joy.

Using study and knowledge to suppress Divine Slaughter's Domain's loss-of-control problem, thereby gradually mastering the domain, had indeed been the right choice.

Moreover, over the past half year, Mu Ge had already mastered every book in Spirit Hall's library—every piece of martial soul knowledge recorded by Spirit Hall, as well as other forms of knowledge.

For example, Spirit Hall's library also contained records on all kinds of medicinal herbs.

What surprised Mu Ge, however, was that even Spirit Hall had no records concerning immortal herbs.

It was not quite accurate to say there were none. The herbal records did include several plants with miraculous medicinal effects, but they were not categorized as immortal herbs and were merely treated as ordinary medicinal plants.

Yet judging from their recorded effects, Mu Ge strongly suspected that they were immortal herbs. Plants that could raise one's Soul Power Level and strengthen one's martial soul—if they were not immortal herbs, what else could they be?

Besides herbal records, there were also records of various forging materials.

There were not many of them, though. Those special materials Tang San had found in the original story were not recorded in Spirit Hall.

Still, that was not strange. The people of this world placed greater importance on martial souls. In their eyes, the most important treasures were soul rings and soul bones from soul beasts.

The reason Mu Ge had managed to master all the books in Spirit Hall's library within half a year was because he had used his Spirit Simulator to study.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to master so much in only half a year.

After more than half a year of study, Mu Ge had finally gained a thorough understanding of martial soul-related knowledge. The various records on martial souls within Spirit Hall were fairly comprehensive.

Combined with insights from his previous life, Mu Ge could now be said to be the most learned soul master in the world.

Now, if Mu Ge were asked to publish a book of theoretical knowledge like that master's, it would be no challenge at all.

Moreover, Mu Ge could explain everything in detail, with sound reasoning and evidence, so that anyone who read it would understand—and genuinely learn something from it.

Unlike Yu Xiaogang's Ten Core Competencies, which were mostly theories and conjectures.

"Should I publish a book too?"

Retracting Divine Slaughter's Domain from around himself, Mu Ge stroked his chin, considering it with interest.

"If I published a book too, I could absolutely grind Yu Xiaogang into the dirt and prove just how unreliable and imprecise his theories are. So many of them wouldn't stand up to practical verification at all!"

Mu Ge found himself somewhat tempted.

But if he did that, it seemed he would also offend the major sects and factions!

"I'm not afraid of offending them. I've already offended plenty of them anyway!"

"It's just that publishing a book like that wouldn't do me any good!"

"Unless one day I want to collect faith and pursue Creating Godhood, there's no need for it!"

After thinking it over, Mu Ge ultimately suppressed the urge to publish a book for the time being.

"Sure enough, back in Slaughter City, I was actually influenced by the place too. My violent impulses were rather heavy. Now that I've completely mastered Divine Slaughter's Domain, I'm actually thinking about publishing a book to enlighten the world."

"But this is good too. Without so much hostility, it's better to stay calm and let everything follow its natural course!"

"Whether I publish a book or not, there's no harm in writing down everything I've summarized first!"

"That'll also make it easier for me to teach Qian Renxue later!"

Thus, Mu Ge spent several days recording the various theories he had summarized regarding martial souls.

He called it the Soul Master's Cultivation Manual!

"The Soul Master's Cultivation Manual?"

"Teacher, is this the book you wrote?"

As Mu Ge's disciple, Qian Renxue was naturally the first to receive his work.

"That's right. You're my disciple, so of course you're the first one I'm giving this book to!"

"You can take a look. Quite a bit of what's recorded inside is actually material I've already taught you. I just taught it in greater detail, while this only records some of the theories. Once you read it, you'll understand why I taught you that way back then!"

"There are also things in it that you haven't learned yet. It's good to look ahead. I'll teach them to you one by one later!"

Mu Ge said with a smile, rubbing Qian Renxue's head.
