Qian Gu Dongfeng: A Mere Level 7, Nothing to Worry About (Please Keep Reading!!!)

The month had passed both swiftly and agonizingly slowly.

Xu Yuan felt that over the past month, he had done nothing but cultivate and study, yet it had been incredibly fulfilling—more meaningful than the first six years since he had come to this world.

Perhaps this was what cultivation felt like.

"Teacher, Martial Uncle, I'm leaving."

Zhen Hua looked rather sentimental, while Mu Ye seemed completely unconcerned.

"Xiao Yuan, this time, your teacher will go with you to Skysea City. It's by the sea there, so it'll be more convenient for me to find ingredients for you."

Though they would no longer use Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to raise his Soul Power, he still could not neglect his regular nourishment.

Xu Yuan did not refuse.

Mu Ye did not merely provide delicious ingredients; his cooking skills were also exceptionally profound.

"Xiao Yuan, you must build a solid foundation in forging and never neglect it. At the very least, for the next year, you must complete your daily tasks according to this month's standards. Keep in contact with your martial uncle by phone, and I'll assign your tasks every day."

"Martial Uncle, I will," Xu Yuan promised.

After leaving Heaven Dou City, Xu Yuan inexplicably felt much lighter.

"Xiao Yuan, your Soul Power has already broken through Level 10. It's time to buy a Soul Spirit. Have you contacted your eldest uncle?"

Mu Ye had fed Xu Yuan far too many good things. In just five days, he had raised Xu Yuan to Level 9. After that, breaking through from Level 9 to Level 10 was somewhat harder, and the effects of consuming too many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would diminish. By the time Xu Yuan reached Level 10, he had already spent half a month in Heaven Dou City.

During the next half month, in order not to delay his cultivation, he had not returned to Skysea City to absorb a Soul Spirit.

"I told Eldest Uncle. He said it should arrive within the next couple of days."

Shrek City.

Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

Top floor.

This was the office of Qian Gu Dongfeng, the master of the Spirit Pagoda.

A researcher in a white coat adjusted his glasses, holding an application in his hand.

"Tower Master, this is Spirit Transfer Envoy Xu's application."

"Oh? What application?" Qian Gu Dongfeng stopped working.

The researcher placed the application materials on Qian Gu Dongfeng's desk while explaining their contents.

"Tower Master, Lord Xu wishes to requisition a Soul Spirit that has been temporarily sealed away by the Research Institute. We do not dare make the decision ourselves and need you to rule on it."

Qian Gu Dongfeng's gaze swept over the application materials. Combined with what the researcher had said, he knew which Soul Spirit Xu Shengqun wished to request.

He did not approve it immediately.

Even if it was a request personally made by a Spirit Transfer Envoy, he normally would have approved it directly even if he had doubts, unless he himself needed the item in question.

But Qian Gu Dongfeng clearly had no need for this Soul Spirit.

Yet he still did not immediately agree.

He flipped through the documents and found a work report beneath the application.

It recorded the recent work of the Skysea City Spirit Pagoda, including the organization's internal disciplinary review. Finally, it stated that everything had been successfully resolved and normal order would soon be restored.

Seeing this, Qian Gu Dongfeng nodded and stamped the application materials.

"Give him the Soul Spirit."

"Yes."

After the researcher left, Qian Gu Dongfeng tapped on his desk.

A clerical worker soon entered.

"Look up Xu Yuan's information."

Xu Shengqun had suddenly requisitioned a Soul Spirit, and a century-old Soul Spirit at that. Qian Gu Dongfeng guessed the reason with barely a thought.

"Xu Yuan?"

"Xu Zhi's son, Xu Yuan. His information should be in the Skysea City Spirit Pagoda database."

"Yes."

"Tower Master, I found it. Xu Yuan, Martial Soul: Heaven Origin Brush. Innate Soul Power Level 7."

Qian Gu Dongfeng narrowed his eyes and slowly nodded.

Level 7. Nothing to worry about.

Xu Shengqun had compromised as well.

That also meant Xu Shengqun did not intend to continue pursuing what had happened a year ago. Now, he only wanted to nurture this nephew of his.

Having thought it through, Qian Gu Dongfeng revealed a gentle smile.

"I understand. You may leave."

Skysea City.

The Xu Family.

"Eldest Uncle, I'm back!"

Mu Ye had not followed Xu Yuan back to the Xu Family. He had merely come to Skysea City with him before disappearing on his own.

Xu Shengqun was quite surprised to see Xu Yuan.

They had not met for a month, but Xu Yuan's temperament had changed tremendously.

He was still as composed as before, but that composure now carried a trace of determination, and there seemed to be a newfound gleam in his eyes.

"Not bad." Xu Shengqun nodded in satisfaction.

He brought Xu Yuan to the Main Hall and asked about his experiences over the past month.

"You plan to cultivate all three professions at once? And you also want to try practicing the Auxiliary Forging Method?"

How was that any different from cultivating every Sub-Profession at the same time?

Xu Shengqun was startled by his nephew's decision. To be honest, although Xu Yuan had spoken with him by phone during the month, he had not mentioned this matter at all.

He had always thought his nephew was obediently studying Mecha Design under Mu Ye.

"Eldest Uncle, Mecha Design, Mecha Manufacturing, and Mecha Maintenance are very easy for me in terms of theory. Especially Mecha Design—I learn it very easily. The basic content of Mecha Maintenance is also respectively related to Mecha Design and Mecha Manufacturing, so learning them all together is not much of a burden."

"Eldest Uncle is a Ninth Grade Mecha Manufacturer, and Teacher is a Ninth Grade Mecha Designer. With your guidance, I can avoid many detours."

As for forging?

With Zhen Hua guiding him, Xu Shengqun had even less to say.

"Besides, my teachers have already tested my theoretical knowledge. I passed completely, and Teacher even gave me an excellent evaluation." Xu Yuan gave Xu Shengqun further reassurance.

Only then did Xu Shengqun let out a breath of relief.

Perhaps it really would not be a problem.

Brain Martial Soul.

Xu Shengqun knew it was likely not merely the effect of Xu Yuan's Brain Martial Soul. Xu Yuan's own ability to think and learn must have played a major role as well. He had always been precocious, and since childhood, his thinking had far surpassed that of his peers, even approaching that of an adult.

"Since neither your teacher nor your martial uncle objects, and your performance is at least acceptable for now, your eldest uncle will do his best to teach you Mecha Manufacturing."

Though Xu Shengqun had relented, he soon gave Xu Yuan a stern warning.

"Xiao Yuan, you must understand that entering any Sub-Profession is only the foundation. For the first three grades of the three major mecha-related professions, the focus is on theory, with only some practical experience required at most. But later on, advancing each grade will not be easy."

Xu Shengqun did not mention forging.

Zhen Hua was personally guiding him in the Auxiliary Forging Method, so when it came to forging, Zhen Hua would clearly serve as Xu Yuan's official Forging Master. With his guidance, Xu Yuan's path would be much easier.

"Eldest Uncle, there is always a way when the cart reaches the mountain. I believe I can master all three professions at once."

Xu Shengqun did not try to persuade him further.

Xu Yuan's talent truly was outstanding, but precisely because his conditions were so good, he had become overly confident.

Xu Shengqun knew he could not persuade him now.

He could only wait until the boy felt the strain himself and came to his senses.

Sigh.

He only hoped it would not delay Xiao Yuan's Battle Armor production.

"Your Soul Spirit has been approved. It will be delivered to the Skysea City Spirit Pagoda tomorrow. Adjust your condition tonight, then come with me to collect your Soul Spirit."

"Okay!" Xu Yuan was overjoyed.
