Soul Tools for Cultivation, Nothing a Little More Power Can't Solve (Seeking Follow-ups!)

"I will keep the teachings of you three grandfathers firmly in my heart. From now on, I will definitely think thrice before acting."

Qin Qi took the spheres and spoke with great seriousness.

"Good, good child."

The three instructors nodded in satisfaction. Although Qin Qi had been somewhat impulsive this time, his overall attitude was good.

He was still a very good child.

"Three grandfathers, may I ask what this is and what it does?"

Qin Qi looked at the stone-like spheres in his hand and asked.

"This is a soul tool. It can be used to train your control over soul power."

As Zhi Lin spoke, he took the two stone spheres from Qin Qi's hands and began rotating them in his palm.

"Keep them in your hands during your daily routine. Inject soul power into them and circulate it according to a specific method, and you can make them move."

"Spinning them every day can improve your control over soul power. It will help you develop your own soul skills."

Zhi Lin returned the stone spheres to Qin Qi. "Little Qin Qi, give it a try."

"Alright."

Qin Qi took the stone spheres and placed them in his hand, then injected soul power into them. The moment his soul power entered the spheres—

He felt as though it had entered a maze, and a maze filled with hurricanes at that.

He had to concentrate completely just to stabilize his soul power. And if he wanted to make the stone spheres rotate, he had to guide his soul power through the maze.

That required even greater focus to accomplish.

"Charge!"

Qin Qi gave it a try. His control was insufficient, and so was his focus—but he was strong!

The quality of his refined soul power was high enough. He poured in everything he had and forcefully pushed the stone spheres into motion!

"Grandpa Zhi, it's spinning."

Qin Qi said with a smile.

"And I can feel my soul power constantly being tempered, becoming more and more condensed!"

"This soul tool is truly a precious item. Thank you so much for the kindness of you three grandfathers!"

"I have no way to repay you, so I can only cultivate diligently and not disappoint your expectations!"

Qin Qi could feel his soul power constantly enduring the pressure within the stone spheres.

That pressure helped him temper his soul power and aided the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu in condensing it. It could be said to be an excellent auxiliary tool.

"Um..."

Zhi Lin, Meng Shenji, and Bai Baoshan exchanged looks, confusion filling all three of their eyes.

This thing was meant to train technique, so how had it become something for training strength in Qin Qi's hands?!

It was like using a Rubik's Cube as a dumbbell—and somehow, it actually worked!

"Ahem, Little Qin Qi, you're very clever. You grasped how to use it so quickly. Very good."

"However, you've only mastered one aspect of it. Later on, you should try using the least amount of strength and the most precise control to make it rotate."

Meng Shenji coughed twice, then spoke calmly, as though the tool had always been intended for both purposes.

"As expected of you, you old fox!"

Zhi Lin and Bai Baoshan both cast Meng Shenji admiring looks. As expected of the most cunning old man among them.

He could lie without even blinking, and make it sound so perfect!

"Yes, Grandpa Meng. I'll work hard."

Qin Qi nodded. He truly would work hard—this thing was genuinely very helpful to him.

It could temper the quality of his soul power while also training his control. It was an exceptionally good soul tool.

"Alright, nothing else. Go back and rest. Eat if it's time to eat, read if it's time to read."

Meng Shenji waved them off to rest. Not long after Qin Qi and the others left—

The headmaster of Blazing Fire Academy arrived with several people. He had come to demand an explanation on behalf of his son and daughter.

He had arrived aggressively, but Meng Shenji simply repeated what Qin Qi had said to him.

"Xiao Wu, Wushuang, was what they said true?"

The headmaster of Blazing Fire Academy looked at his son and daughter as he asked.

"Father, yes. That Qin Qi truly is very formidable, and he is also a very worthy opponent."

"I embarrassed you this time, but I will definitely win next time!"

Huo Wushuang directly admitted that Qin Qi had been right. His eyes were so resolute that he looked as though he were about to accomplish something great.

"Xiao Wu, did that man really want to help you, and then you spoke rudely to him?"

The dean of Blazing Fire Academy did not quite believe his foolish son, so he turned to his daughter and asked.

"Mm."

Huo Wu lowered her head and pressed her lips together. Qin Qi had indeed gentlemanly helped her up at the time.

He had even generously allowed Ye Lingling to treat them. She had indeed said some unpleasant things back then.

She could not deny it. Her pride would not allow her to lie.

"Ahem, Dean of Blazing Fire Academy, the matter has been cleared up now. It was merely a conflict between children."

"Your side was at fault, but we cannot say our side was entirely without fault either. So, I think we should leave it at that."

"Let's treat it as children squabbling and let the matter pass."

After hearing Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's words, Meng Shenji silently nodded. As expected, Qin Qi was a good child.

"Ah, let's leave it at that."

"However, when I have the time, I would like to meet that boy named Qin Qi. I want to see what the genius of your academy is really like."

The dean of Blazing Fire Academy sighed. There was nothing else he could do at this point but accept it.

Still, he was very curious about what kind of person could defeat his daughter, his son, and the academy's geniuses.

"Certainly. When I have the time, I will personally bring little Qin Qi to your academy to pay you a visit."

Meng Shenji stroked his beard. He definitely had to go. With such an outstanding student, he had to show him off.

If he did not show him off, how would anyone know their academy had produced a genius?

A few days had passed since the battle between Blazing Fire Academy and Heaven Dou Academy. Dugu Yan had returned to ask her grandfather for medicinal herbs.

At this time, in Sunset Forest.

"Grandpa, do you have a chrysanthemum like this in your herb garden?"

Dugu Yan searched the herb garden but could not find the chrysanthemum Qin Qi wanted. Left with no choice, she took the drawing directly to Dugu Bo and asked him.

"Chrysanthemums... Aren't there plenty in the herb garden?"

Dugu Bo took the drawing and glanced at it, immediately recognizing it as a medicinal herb found near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Because the area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was very dangerous, he normally did not allow Dugu Yan to go there.

"Yan Yan, who drew this? Who asked you for this chrysanthemum?"

Dugu Bo did not know what the chrysanthemum near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was used for, but he knew it was definitely something valuable.

"One of my classmates. They helped me with something, and I promised to give it to them."

"What, Grandpa? We don't have any?"

Dugu Yan immediately looked at Dugu Bo with pitiful eyes, looking exactly like a child asking her grandfather why everyone else had something while she did not.

"We do. Of course we do. Grandpa will get it for you right away."

Dugu Bo's heart immediately softened. The chrysanthemum was a treasure, but what medicinal treasure could compare to his precious granddaughter?

Compared to his precious granddaughter, everything else was not worth mentioning.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Grandpa is the best."

Dugu Yan hugged Dugu Bo's arm and swayed it back and forth as she spoke in a sweet voice.

At that moment, no matter how one looked at her, she seemed like an incomparably well-behaved good girl. Although she fought, cursed, and made people call her Sister Yan, she really was a good girl.

Dugu Bo, utterly helpless before his granddaughter, immediately caved in. He went to the area near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, picked a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and handed it to Dugu Yan.

"Yan Yan, although this is not a highly poisonous herb, its medicinal properties are extremely potent. Taking it carelessly can be dangerous."

"Remember to tell your classmate to be careful."

Dugu Bo said.

"Mm, I understand. Thank you, Grandpa."

Dugu Yan spoke sweetly once more, then left with the medicinal herb.

"Grandpa, I'll come see you again when school is on break. Take care of yourself while you're alone."

Even as she left, Dugu Yan did not forget to care about Dugu Bo's health. She truly was such a gentle, good girl—it was enough to make one cry.
