"I haven't slept that comfortably in a long time." The next morning, Qin Ming woke up in a neat, spotless bed. The warm blanket, soft mattress—everything made him feel as though he had returned to his previous life.

The room Nuo Si had arranged for Qin Ming was specifically for core members of the Suotuo City Martial Soul Main Hall. It was only a few hundred meters from Charlton's study, roughly eighty square meters in size, and fully furnished with every necessity.

Qin Ming looked out the window. The sun had only just climbed above the treetops. It was probably around six in the morning.

Getting up early was a habit Qin Ming had developed after transmigrating. By the time he was five and his body's functions had mostly developed normally, he had begun doing some simple training.

It might not have greatly improved his physique, but at the very least, his stamina far surpassed that of children his age.

After getting up and washing up, Qin Ming picked out a Black Tight Suit from the huge pile of clothes Nuo Si had brought over yesterday.

Since Spirit Hall did not have a Teaching Uniform that fit Qin Ming's size, Nuo Si had simply brought him the clothes he had worn as a child.

Looking at the sheer number of outfits, they would probably last Qin Ming until he was eight or nine. All he could do was shake his head with a wry smile.

After breakfast in the main hall's dining room, Qin Ming headed straight for Charlton's study.

"Good morning, Grandpa Charlton." As soon as they met, Qin Ming politely greeted him. Whether on Blue Star in his previous life or on Douluo Continent, polite people always earned more goodwill.

"Good morning, child." Charlton was slightly surprised to see Qin Ming arrive. After all, this was indeed rather early for a six-year-old child.

"How did you sleep last night?"

"The room Brother Nuo Si arranged for me was wonderful. The bed was soft, and I really like it here!"

"As long as you like it." Hearing Qin Ming's answer, Charlton revealed an undisguised, gratified smile.

He then picked up a small golden booklet from the stack of books on his desk and handed it to Qin Ming, speaking at an unhurried pace.

"This Meditation Technique was created by His Excellency Qian Daoliu, the Great Elder of Spirit Hall's Worship Hall. It is balanced and peaceful, suitable for Spirit Masters with Martial Souls of any attribute. The one I cultivate is this Angel Meditation Method as well."

Qian Daoliu! Hearing those three words, Qin Ming was secretly shocked. Who was Qian Daoliu? A level ninety-nine Limit Douluo, one of the two great peaks of the Spirit Master world, invincible in the sky!

More importantly, he was the Angel God's High Priest, an existence who could touch the realm of "gods." How could a Meditation Technique created by him be something ordinary?

"This Angel Meditation Method is something only core members of Spirit Hall are qualified to access. However, I rendered great service in my early years, and this Meditation Technique was awarded to me."

"Strictly speaking, passing it on to you is against the rules. But once you go to Spirit City in the future, you will sooner or later become a core member. This Meditation Technique can also speed up your cultivation in the early stages, so I do not believe there is anything wrong with it."

"Grandpa Charlton..." Having read the original novel thoroughly, Qin Ming knew that powers such as Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects all possessed their own inherited Meditation Techniques and secret arts.

For example, the Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer and Ring Detonation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Secret Technique—these were all foundations passed down by great powers.

Such major forces guarded their inherited Meditation Techniques and secret arts with extreme secrecy. Qin Ming did not know what opportunity Charlton had encountered when he was young.

However, the risk of giving this Meditation Technique to him was certainly enormous. Yet that also showed just how highly Charlton regarded him.

Charlton's place in Qin Ming's heart rose another level. He would surely repay the grace of being nurtured in the future.

"You must remember: you may only cultivate this Meditation Technique yourself. You must never pass it on to anyone else!" Charlton warned sternly.

"I understand, Grandpa Charlton." Qin Ming hurriedly agreed.

Charlton nodded in satisfaction. Qin Ming was truly to his liking—well-behaved, obedient, polite, and sensible.

"Good. Next, I'll explain this Meditation Technique to you. Come over here."

Hearing this, Qin Ming hurried to Charlton's side and handed over the Angel Meditation Method.

Charlton opened the book and began explaining the diagrams of the Vessels to Qin Ming line by line.

An hour later, Charlton had given Qin Ming a general explanation. By then, Qin Ming had already been shocked speechless.

Unlike Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill in the original novel, a complicated internal art that required opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Angel Meditation Method placed greater emphasis on overall unity in its circulation route.

The Angel Meditation Method divided the human body's Vessels into six parts: both feet, both legs, the Dantian, the chest, both shoulders, and the head.

These six parts could each form their own small circulation, or connect together to form a Macrocosmic Orbit.

Soul Power began circulating from the Yongquan Acupoints in both feet, traveled upward through the legs, and gathered in the Dantian of the lower abdomen. There, the Soul Power was compressed and accumulated rather than simply passing through, forming a small Soul Power Core.

It then traveled upward along the Ren Meridian to the Danzhong Acupoint in the chest, forming a small vortex there. Part of the Soul Power branched through the Tiantu Acupoint into both shoulders, while the other part gathered directly at the Fengshen Acupoint and the Baihui Acupoint atop the head, forming a third Soul Power Vortex at the brow.

At that point, the entire body was linked together, forming a great circulatory cycle. During cultivation, the three Soul Power Vortices would resonate with one another, greatly increasing a Spirit Master's efficiency in absorbing the Soul Power of heaven and earth.

More importantly, cultivating the Angel Meditation Method also nourished the Sea of Consciousness. Over time, it would improve a Spirit Master's Mental Power.

One had to know that in Douluo Dalu I, methods for cultivating Mental Power were extraordinarily precious. Qin Ming had no doubt that if this Meditation Technique appeared in the Spirit Master world, it would trigger a bloody storm. Even the Upper Three Sects would likely be unable to resist joining the struggle.

Moreover, Qin Ming had noticed something else. Weren't the three Soul Power Vortices in the Dantian, chest, and head the prototypes of the Soul Cores from Douluo Dalu II?

Although the Soul Power Vortices of the Angel Meditation Method were only temporarily formed during cultivation to accelerate Soul Power absorption, they were completely different from the Soul Cores of Douluo Dalu II, which were firmly stabilized within the body, constantly absorbed Soul Power, and could increase a Spirit Master's combat power and endurance.

Still, this was at least a prototype. With future modifications based on its original foundation, it might not be impossible for Soul Cores to appear on Douluo Continent ten thousand years earlier.

Qin Ming became even more curious about Qian Daoliu. A single Meditation Technique involved the Macrocosmic Orbit of the Vessels, Mental Power, and the prototype of Soul Cores. Such talent was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

In the original novel, Qian Daoliu's ending was to sacrifice himself as the Angel God's High Priest and help his granddaughter Qian Renxue attain the Angel God's position. Qin Ming felt that this ending might not be unchangeable.

"Qin Ming, how was it? Did you understand? Do you need me to explain it again?"

Charlton's voice gradually pulled Qin Ming back from his thoughts to reality.

"I understood, Grandpa Charlton." Qin Ming nodded obediently.

"Oh?" Charlton raised his brows, somewhat surprised. After all, this Angel Meditation Method was not some common, mass-market technique. It was far more complex than the few Meditation Techniques commonly found on the market.

"Then explain this. What should you pay attention to when carrying out the lower Dantian circulation?"

Seeing that Charlton intended to test him, Qin Ming pretended to ponder for a while before answering, "When Soul Power enters the Dantian, it cannot simply flow through. Instead, a Soul Power Vortex must form within the Dantian."

"This allows a Spirit Master to increase the efficiency of absorbing the Soul Power of heaven and earth."

"Not bad, not bad." Seeing that Qin Ming had answered correctly, Charlton's smile was undisguised.

What an intelligent child!

Charlton's interest was piqued, and he pointed out several more questions for Qin Ming to answer.

Qin Ming pretended to think over each one before answering Charlton's questions one by one. At the same time, he deliberately left a few flaws for Charlton to point out, lest he appear too astonishing.
