Essence, Qi, and Spirit: The Three Treasures of Man
Looking at the eager gaze directed at Si Si, Yu Xiaogang felt very gratified. After all, he had diverted Si Si's worries. When Soul Tool Technology becomes more advanced in the future, other Soul Master may be surpassed by Soul Tool Technology, but he, Yu Xiaogang, will definitely not be surpassed by Soul Tool Technology!
Yu Xiaogang wanted to cultivate the three treasures of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit simultaneously, but he had only cultivated Mental Power and Soul Power, lacking only qi and blood. While spirit and energy could be traced, qi and blood were completely unpredictable.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang wanted Xiao Zhan to hunt down and absorb the Blood Flame Demon Tiger's Spirit Ring to see if he could obtain Soul Skill related to blood and qi. Back on Earth, Yu Xiaogang had complained that people in the Douluo Continent so easily obtained miraculous Soul Skill, yet instead of studying the essence of Soul Skill and Martial Soul, they only knew how to fight and kill, and thus made no progress for millennia, easily surpassed by an ordinary martial arts internal skill.
In fact, Yu Xiaogang had Deep Blue simulate blood flow, and the problem was that the blood vessels could not withstand such a fast flow rate and pressure. In the Simulation, the death was either due to a burst heart or massive bleeding from ruptured blood vessels throughout the body.
There are also scenarios like blood rushing to the brain turning it into mush, or massive internal bleeding—various Simulation gruesome ways to die. If it weren't for Deep Blue's Simulation and deduction technology, Yu Xiaogang would have died countless times already.
Yu Xiaogang glanced past Si Si at Xiao Zhan behind him, his gaze carrying a meaningful meaning as Xiao Zhan looked uncomfortable. He then spoke gently to his four apprentices:
"Actually, the teacher is walking a unique path of cultivation, with the ultimate goal of becoming the number one person on the continent! Becoming a god! According to the teacher's research, cultivation can be divided into three types: essence, qi, and Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Everyone on the Douluo Continent only cultivates qi."
A few individuals possess unique spiritual talents due to their special Martial Soul, cultivating both Qi and spirit simultaneously. Therefore, these Soul Master cultivate more slowly than others. However, once they become Titled Douluo, Soul Master who Dual Cultivation Qi and spirit are extremely powerful!
Su Yuntao and his companions stared at their Teacher Yu Xiaogang, with astonishment. This was the first time they'd heard of such a theory. Moreover, it hadn't been mentioned in their teacher's previous announcement of the Ten Competitive Advantages of Martial Soul. Could this be the reason their teacher was so powerful at level thirty-six? Su Yuntao four of them strained to hear every word, after all, their teacher was the first to embark on this new path of cultivation, a pioneer and their guide!
Yu Xiaogang was very pleased to see that his four apprentices were now listening to him seriously. He felt that he had not taken them in vain. Si Si even took out her book and Steel Pen and began to write down what he had just said.
When Su Yuntao and Xiao Zhan saw that their Senior Sister Si Si had started taking notes, they suddenly realized what was going on and took out books and Steel Pen from their Storage Soul Tool rings to start taking notes as well. Wang Dachui looked at his senior brothers and sisters blankly at first, and then hurriedly started taking notes.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but chuckle at Wang Dachui's appearance. Although this kind of disciple was a bit dim-witted, he was the best candidate to guard the Sect Residence, and the perfect person to manage the sect's rules and workshops in the future. After all, he was stubborn and inflexible! Seeing that Su Yuntao and the other three had finished taking notes, Yu Xiaogang continued, "..."
"This is a secret of our sect and cannot be passed on to outsiders! Not now! In the teacher's new cultivation theory, Qi represents the Soul Power that Soul Master uses to absorb the Heavenly Dao Energy through meditation on their Martial Soul. Shen is the method of cultivating Mental Power that we teach you."
Yu Xiaogang paused briefly before looking at Xiao Zhan. Su Yuntao, Si Si, and Wang Dachui all noticed their teacher's gaze on Xiao Zhan and turned to look at him with surprise and confusion, wondering why their teacher cared so much about Xiao Zhan.
Si Si's mind was the quickest and most agile. Her big, bright eyes immediately flashed as she thought of the last thing Teacher Yu Xiaogang hadn't said. After all, the teacher had just said that one must cultivate all three things to reach the highest peak!
Si Si immediately said to Teacher Yu Xiaogang in a very affirmative tone:
"Teacher, is it true that the final refinement will rely on Xiao Zhan's Martial Soul? I remember when you were analyzing the essence of Martial Soul for us, you said that Xiao Zhan's Martial Soul can control his own blood. Does that mean that refinement is related to blood?"
As Si Si spoke, she felt increasingly unsure of herself and began to doubt her earlier guess. She looked at Teacher Yu Xiaogang with a questioning gaze, waiting for his explanation.
Yu Xiaogang nodded and shook his head at Si Si, then said to the four people in front of him via WeChat:
"Si Si's guess was both right and wrong! Semen is indeed related to blood, but there are other deeper things in it that the teacher cannot answer right now."
"We can only wait and see if you, Xiao Zhan, can obtain a Soul Skill related to blood and qi after you hunt down the Blood Flame Demon Tiger Spirit Ring that the teacher chose for you."
Yu Xiaogang gazed intently at the night view outside the window, his eyes revealing a profound depth. Standing before the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the private room, hands behind his back, he continued his explanation with his back to Su Yuntao and the other three, "Teacher has used Yun Lan and some special methods to Simulation and deduce that relying solely on Soul Power to accelerate blood flow in the blood vessels will either result in massive bleeding or death from the explosion of a part of the body. Therefore, Xiao Zhan, you absolutely cannot attempt to explore qi and blood cultivation in private! Teacher will pave the way for you, paving a Road to the Heavens for the four of you!"
"Teacher! Don't worry! Even if I don't get any blood-related Soul Skill from hunting the Blood Flame Demon Tiger with my First Soul Ring, I'll use my Second Soul Ring to continue hunting! If that doesn't work, I'll use my Third Soul Ring to keep hunting! Until I get the Soul Skill you need to research, Teacher!"
Hearing how kind Teacher Yu Xiaogang was to his four disciples, and how he had even instructed him not to explore the path of Qi and Blood cultivation in private, Xiao Zhan thought, "Where can I find a teacher so kind and caring? Now that I've met such a good master, I must repay him!" "Xiao the Boss! You're a true man! I, Su Yuntao, now acknowledge you! From now on, the position of Grandmaster in the sect can only be yours!"
"Yes! Xiao the Boss! You're truly my idol! That's what I admire about you!"
Su Yuntao and Wang Dachui stepped forward, hooked their arms around Xiao Zhan's neck, and gave him a thumbs-up. Si Si, impressed by Xiao Zhan's words, looked at him with new respect.
"That's great! Xiao Zhan, I support you as the Dragon Gate Senior Apprentice Sister in my heart for making such a great sacrifice! But are you really not going to regret it? Hunting the same kind of Soul Beast with all nine Spirit Rings?"
Xiao Zhan broke free from Su Yuntao and Wang Dachui's arms, puffed out his chest, and said with great pride:
"I, Xiao Zhan, keep my word! And what's there to be afraid of? Teacher has such amazing Self-Created Soul Skill, and just demonstrated terrifying Mental Power. Hehe, I believe that even without powerful Soul Skill, I can still reach the level of Titled Douluo! Don't we still have Teacher to back us up? Isn't that right, Teacher? Hehe!"
Xiao Zhan responded with Si Si words, then grinned and said to Teacher Yu Xiaogang, revealing his bright white teeth.
Yu Xiaogang turned around and couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Zhan's appearance. He knew that Xiao Zhan was saying this to comfort Si Si because he saw a light of firm admiration and hope in Xiao Zhan's eyes!
"Hehe! Xiao Zhan, you little rascal! But you underestimate your teacher's abilities! You'll see soon enough."
