Three-Thousand-Year Sun Vine Core

A Storage Soul Tool he had used before? Seeing the nostalgic look on Charlton's face, there must have been a story behind it.

Even if Charlton no longer had any use for it, it must still have held extraordinary significance to him. That only proved how unusual Qin Ming's place in his heart was at this moment.

Seeing Charlton's solemn expression, Qin Ming respectfully accepted it with both hands. In this era of Douluo Dalu I, Soul Tools were rare treasures. The techniques for crafting them had already been lost, and most Soul Tools had been passed down from ancient times, practically serving as cultural relics.

Storage Soul Tools were the most precious among them. If a Storage Soul Tool with such a large capacity were put up for auction, Qin Ming would not have been surprised even if it sold for several hundred thousand—or even a million—Gold Soul Coins.

"Inject your Soul Power into that Blue Crystal. It will automatically adjust to a size suitable for you. The same goes for storing and retrieving items. Once you inject Soul Power, you will be able to sense the storage space inside."

Qin Ming put the Storage Bracelet on his right wrist and followed Charlton's instructions, channeling his Soul Power into the crystal at its top.

As his Soul Power flowed in, a faint Silver-Blue Luster radiated from the bracelet's patterns. Moments later, the previously loose bracelet had fitted perfectly around Qin Ming's wrist.

(Please remember Taiwan Novel Network. The site is incredibly considerate, with the fastest chapter updates.)

Qin Ming shook his hand and nodded in satisfaction. The fit was just right. He then injected another trace of Soul Power and sensed a square space of twenty square meters. Looking closely, he could see wisps of mist drifting within it.

"Thank you, Grandpa Charlton." With this Storage Soul Tool, Qin Ming would undoubtedly gain tremendous convenience in many aspects.

"It's nothing. This Soul Tool is useless to me now anyway. It is best if it can be put to good use. I hope this old companion can help you."

Charlton then brushed the Pendant-style Storage Soul Tool hanging from his chest, and a Jade Box appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"This is also something of no use to me, so I'll give it to you as well."

More good stuff? Qin Ming was already too stunned to speak. A top-tier Meditation Technique and a Storage Soul Tool—Charlton was practically an Angel Investor!

His Grandpa Charlton had far too many treasures. Qin Ming was starting to feel embarrassed accepting them all.

Charlton opened the Jade Box in his hand. Inside lay a Fiery Red Circular Bead.

A huge question mark seemed to pop up over Qin Ming's head. What was this? A glass marble?

Seeing Qin Ming's puzzled gaze, Charlton smiled and began explaining at an unhurried pace.

"This is the core of a three-thousand-year Sun Vine. I obtained it by chance while hunting Soul Beasts in my youth."

"The Sun Vine is a Plant-type Soul Beast that grows in places with scorching sunlight. It increases its cultivation by absorbing the sun's energy."

"After a Sun Vine surpasses a thousand years, it grows an additional Branch Vine for every hundred years of cultivation, until it reaches nine hundred vines at ten thousand years."

"When Plant-type Soul Beasts cultivate, they form a core within their bodies. It contains their entire cultivation and origin."

"The core in my hand came from a Sun Vine with three thousand years of cultivation, and it has a rather terrifying effect." At this point, Charlton deliberately paused and revealed a meaningful smile.

Only after seeing Qin Ming's anxious expression did Charlton continue.

"It can increase the cultivation speed of Fire Attribute Spirit Masters."

"Wouldn't that make it an invaluable treasure to Fire Attribute Spirit Masters?" Qin Ming blurted out. Charlton's words were truly startling.

Charlton shook his head. "It is not quite that precious. The boost a Sun Vine Core provides to a Fire Attribute Spirit Master's cultivation speed depends on its age."

"This three-thousand-year Sun Vine Core is only somewhat useful to high-level Soul Elders, and even then, its effect should be negligible. As for Soul Ancestors, it is completely useless."

"It is precisely because of this limitation," Charlton continued.

"Yet for you right now, it should be incredibly helpful. You can regard it as a portable, miniature Fire Attribute Mimicry Cultivation Environment."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's gaze toward the Sun Vine Core became heated. During the early stages of cultivation on the Douluo Continent, a single step ahead meant every step ahead. A treasure that could increase cultivation speed was undoubtedly what he needed most right now.

At the same time, Qin Ming firmly remembered Charlton's gifts in his heart. He knew how to repay kindness and believed that this was the bottom line of being human. As long as someone treated him sincerely, he would repay them many times over in the future.

Qin Ming accepted the Jade Box from Charlton, took out the Sun Vine Core, and played with it for a while. The Fire Attribute Soul Power around him actively surged toward him, and even the circulation of Soul Power within his body became noticeably smoother.

Satisfied, Qin Ming placed the Sun Vine Core back into the Jade Box and stored it in his Storage Soul Tool. With this thing, he would probably reach level nine a few days earlier.

Afterward, Charlton gave Qin Ming several more reminders regarding cultivation, specifically emphasizing the importance of balancing work and rest.

Qin Ming agreed repeatedly to all of Charlton's requests.

"Grandpa Charlton, I actually have one small request."

"Oh? What request? Go ahead. As long as it isn't too excessive, it will be fine."

"I want to read books in the library of our Martial Soul Main Hall. First, to increase my knowledge, and second, to look up information on Soul Beasts. In a few months, I should be obtaining my First Soul Ring."

"I want to choose some Soul Beasts suitable for becoming my Soul Ring and use them as targets when hunting Soul Beasts."

From the moment he had transmigrated here, Qin Ming had discovered that this world was far larger than described in the original work. It resembled a real supernatural world much more closely.

The varieties of Soul Beasts were also bizarre and countless. A blade of grass on the ground or a small hill in the distance could both be Soul Beasts. The original work's descriptions of Soul Beasts were completely insufficient.

"So that's how it is." Charlton was somewhat surprised. Children who had only just begun cultivating generally followed the choices of their parents and teachers when selecting their Soul Rings. They had no opinions of their own at all.

The fact that Qin Ming could make such a request showed that he had a general plan for his cultivation. For a six-year-old child, that was undoubtedly rare and commendable.

At this thought, a trace of approval flashed through Charlton's eyes. He said gently, "Of course. I'll speak to the library administrator later. From now on, you may enter and leave freely."

Qin Ming thanked Charlton again. After Charlton's barrage of generosity today, he had already lost count of how many times he had expressed his gratitude.

Just a few days ago, he had been a penniless poor village boy. Today, he carried several items coveted by most Spirit Masters.

Especially the Angel Meditation Method. It was something that could greatly strengthen the foundation of an entire faction, and its value went without saying.

Qin Ming could not help sighing inwardly. So this was what it felt like to have an Angel Investor?
