"My soul power has clearly improved!"

Xiao Ting sensed that the soul power of his Mid Mortal Realm soul had noticeably increased.

If this kind of improvement happened another ten times, his soul realm could enter the Late Mortal Realm.

He felt that this unusual increase had to be related to the Notes.

That was indeed the case. The moment he looked at the Notes, he understood what had happened.

Plane Blessing: [Effect of meditating on Purple Qi Rising for seven days]

Immediately afterward, seven days' worth of repeated scenes flashed through his mind.

Every day at dawn, from five to seven in the morning, he meditated on Purple Qi Rising atop a mountain peak.

"The Purple Qi Rising Meditation Method?" Xiao Ting's heart skipped a beat.

He did not consider the slight increase in soul power all that important.

What mattered was that he seemed to have obtained a method for raising his soul realm.

His breathing quickened slightly. Xiao Ting forced himself to calm down, deciding to wait until he had tested it himself.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, the end of the tiger hour had arrived.

Xiao Ting had already been sitting atop the highest peak behind the Xiao Clan for some time, facing east.

As soon as dawn arrived, he followed the additional experience in his mind and began meditating on the Purple Qi Rising that could ordinarily not be seen with the naked eye.

An hour later, he clearly felt his soul realm improve by another trace.

"Good, very good." Xiao Ting revealed a delighted expression. "Even if future Plane Blessings no longer grant me the effect of meditating on Purple Qi Rising for seven days, as long as I work hard myself, I'll break through to the Late Mortal Realm in just over two months."

With that thought, Xiao Ting took out the Notes and began writing.

[Today's Plane Blessing suits me perfectly.]

[Even among the myriad heavens and worlds, it would be an extremely versatile foundation.]

Gasp!

The women were startled.

How had this Plane Blessing suddenly come to involve the myriad heavens and worlds?!

[As everyone knows, souls have realms.]

The women: We do indeed all know that. You explained it in the Notes before.

[A Mortal Realm soul is weak and exists in an ethereal state. It is stronger than an ordinary soul, and through control, its soul power can be put to considerable use after leaving the body, such as when an alchemist refines pills.]

[A Spirit Realm soul absorbs spiritual energy to undergo transformation. The soul condenses into form and remains dispersed for a long time. The so-called spiritual energy can only be sensed through special soul cultivation methods, but such methods have become exceedingly rare after countless historical gaps. Nowadays, one can only rely on external objects or fortunate encounters to enter certain profound states and achieve it.]

[A Heaven Realm soul reaches great completion, becoming corporeal and no different from the physical body. Soul and body can fight separately. The soul's combat strength is comparable to that of a Two-Star Dou Sheng. On the Dou Qi Continent, those who can attain it are few enough to count on one's fingers. Talent, resources, and secret methods are all indispensable.]

The women felt as though they had learned something.

"I have a secret method for sensing spiritual energy and improving the soul." Cao Ying looked calm as she yawned.

Although her talent was outstanding, the soul cultivation method must have contributed greatly to her becoming an Eighth-Rank Alchemist at the age of twenty-two in the future.

If Xiao Ting wanted it, she would be willing to share it. Unfortunately, she had no suitable reason to approach him.

[Today's Plane Blessing has given me the Purple Qi Rising Meditation Method. While meditating, one can passively absorb spiritual energy and increase soul power.]

[Purple Qi Rising possesses the strongest yang energy and is best suited to cultivators with yang or fire attributes. Lightning-attribute and wood-attribute cultivators can practice it as well. Although it can only be cultivated for one hour each day, its effects are excellent. The entry method is simple, and over time, it can steadily increase soul power.]

[Xiao Yi Xian appears to have a wood attribute, while Xun'er has a fire attribute. I'll find an opportunity to teach it to them.]

[I possess the All-Meridian-Open Spirit Body. Xiao Yi Xian has the Woeful Poison Body that is about to awaken, an innate poisonous body, while Xun'er possesses the Dou Di Bloodline. They will achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation.]

"Brother Xiao Ting always says his stomach is weak and that he needs to eat soft food. Why is he thinking of feeding Xun'er instead?"

Xun'er shook her head with a sigh, but the corners of her lips, which she could not suppress at all, gave away her true feelings.

Inside an inn in Wutan City, Xiao Yi Xian, who had risen early, felt a warm current surge through her heart.

She had not even become his woman yet, and he was already thinking about how to nurture her.

She could call him confident, but he truly treated her well too.

"Improving one's soul realm is most suitable for fire attributes!?"

Deep within the Tagor Desert, in the Holy City of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa's eyes filled with intense longing.

This Purple Qi Rising Meditation Method was practically tailor-made for her.

Her companion snake-shaped magical beast soul, the Purple Nether Flame Snake, possessed a fire attribute.

If both her own soul realm and that of her Companion Snake Soul improved, her chances of successfully breaking through with the help of Heavenly Flames would be greater.

"I must think of a way to befriend him as soon as possible!"

"Lightning attributes can cultivate it too. That means I can cultivate it as well."

Within the East Pavilion of the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range, longing welled up in Feng Qing'er's eyes.

Magical beasts were strong in body and enjoyed long lifespans, but their cultivation speed was slow, and their souls were relatively weak.

If she became a member of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan with a powerful soul, she did not dare imagine how strong she could become.

But for the moment, she could not think of a reason to go to the Jia Ma Empire.

"Send word to the clan and see whether there are any opportunities related to our Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan in the Northwest Continent."

Xiao Ting knew nothing of the women's thoughts.

After finishing his Notes, he returned to the Xiao Clan, washed up, and went to have breakfast with Xun'er.

After breakfast, he followed Yao Lao in diligent cultivation, then spent another day constantly astonishing Yao Lao.

Xiao Ting lived this orderly life for another four days.

Every day's Plane Blessing increased his experience in cultivating Dou Techniques and cultivation methods.

However, he never again encountered an opportunity like the one that had "transported" the Dou Shi Pill to him.

"Xiao Yi Xian still hasn't come after so many days. Is she planning to refuse?" Xiao Ting began to lose confidence.

But he did not seek her out a second time. After all, a deal was not a deal when one party was too eager.

Besides, he was the Xiao Clan's talented young master. Inviting her once was already a courtesy. If he did it too often, people would inevitably think he had ulterior motives, considering that he was merely recruiting a physician who was not even a Dou Zhe.

Just as Xiao Ting was preparing to devise a new plan, he suddenly received word from the guards at the entrance that a woman calling herself Xiao Yi Xian had come to see him.

Xiao Ting received her immediately and invited Xiao Yi Xian to have dinner at the Xiao Clan.

"So, you've agreed?" Xiao Ting confirmed.

"Mm, I agree." Xiao Yi Xian nodded seriously, then teased him slightly. "Didn't the young master seem completely certain that I would agree that day?"

"I was only analyzing things from the perspectives of benefits and ideals." Xiao Ting chuckled. "But life is not made up of only benefits and ideals. Perhaps you have feelings for Qingshan Town?"

Xiao Yi Xian: "..."

"Then later, I'll take you to the Medicine Hall to get settled. There are several private courtyards behind the Medicine Hall, all properties of the Xiao Clan. You can choose any one of them to live in." Xiao Ting displayed his sincerity.

"No hurry." Xiao Yi Xian gently shook her head. "As for becoming a physician, I had already made up my mind that night."

"The reason I only came now was because I spent time in Wutan City asking about the Xiao Clan's reputation, especially yours, Young Master Xiao Ting."

"Then it seems that both my reputation and the Xiao Clan's reputation are quite good." Xiao Ting smiled smugly and picked up his teacup.

"They are very good." Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly. "That is why I agreed to join the Xiao Clan, and why I will tell you about a cave dwelling left behind by an expert that I accidentally discovered in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

Pfft!

Xiao Ting spat out a mouthful of tea.

"What did you just tell me?"

Why was this Xiao Yi Xian not following the script?

This was a fortuitous opportunity. Was she just going to tell him so openly?

Shouldn't she be thinking of waiting until she became stronger before finding an opportunity to explore it?

"I accidentally discovered..." Xiao Yi Xian repeated what she had just said.

Seeing the undisguised shock in Xiao Ting's eyes, she nearly failed to hold back her laughter.

Xun'er had been right. Teasing Xiao Ting was quite fun.

Xun'er should have seen this amusing scene, right?

Xiao Yi Xian tilted her head slightly and saw the figure approaching the courtyard entrance with a smile on her face.

"What happened, Brother Xiao Ting? Why did you spit out your tea?"

Xiao Yi Xian:!

Xiao Ting: "..."
