Tang Ziran originally worked as a level-4 Mecha Designer, and he was also a decent pharmacist. However, before Tang Li was born, he hid his identity here because of a mecha blueprint and changed his profession to become a mecha repairman.
However, his skill at repairing mecha was ordinary, and the salary he earned could only barely support the household.
Once, when the whole family went out to play, Tang Li took the small treasury he and Tang Wulin had saved up to buy a lottery ticket, and he won the grand prize.
He handed the prize money over to Tang Ziran, who used the money to open a workshop for custom civilian mechas. Over the years, he had also earned quite a bit of money and even opened a branch in Donghai City.
If the main workshop here did not require Tang Ziran, a level-4 mecha designer, to manage it, their family would have moved to live in Donghai City.
With the improvement of their economic conditions, the living standards of their family naturally rose as well.
Mother Lang Yue had always been a full-time housewife, usually responsible for taking care of Tang Li and Tang Wulin. However, they had been sensible since childhood and had hardly ever caused Lang Yue any trouble.
Yesterday, the couple had even told Tang Wulin and Tang Li that as long as the martial souls they awakened possessed innately gifted soul power, after reaching level 10, they would arrange for each of them to have a century-old spirit!
This was also the reason why Tang Li did not immediately agree to the recruitment of that Spirit Master. A century-old spirit was indeed very good, but he still had to discuss such a matter with his parents, otherwise they would say he was a mischievous monkey again...
Arriving at the front door, Tang Wulin took out the key to unlock the door. In the kitchen, Lang Yue heard the sound of the door opening and poked her head out just in time to see her two children returning, hurriedly greeting them to come eat lunch.
"Xiaoli, Linlin, come eat quickly! Mom made your favorite ribs!"
"Coming, Mom!" Tang Wulin smelled the alluring fragrance in the air, instantly running over to hug Lang Yue.
"Mom, both Xiaoli and I have innately gifted soul power! And Xiaoli even has full innate soul power!"
Tang Wulin excitedly reported their awakening situation to Lang Yue. Hearing that her own biological son had full innate soul power, Lang Yue was also taken aback, clearly not expecting it either.
"Wulin also has level 7 innately gifted soul power, and her martial soul is even the renowned Clear Sky Hammer."
Hearing Tang Li's words, Lang Yue kissed little Wulin hard again. Just as she was about to give Tang Li a helping of a mother's love too, she discovered that her younger son had already gone to dish up the food, and could only remind him: "Xiaoli, slow down! Watch out for the burn!"
"I know. Wulin, move aside, you're blocking me."
"Stinky Xiaoli, how many times have I told you, you need to call me older sister!"
"..."
Watching the two children bicker, a heartfelt smile hung on Lang Yue's face.
After finishing the meal, Lang Yue packed up the insulated lunchbox that had been prepared long ago and went to deliver food to her husband Tang Ziran. Before leaving, she carefully reminded:
"Linlin, keep an eye on your younger brother and don't let him run around randomly again. I'll be right back."
"Alright, don't worry, Mom!"
Looking at Tang Wulin's confident appearance, Lang Yue could only choose to trust her once more, only hoping that Wulin wouldn't get confused and led astray by her younger brother again.
With this feeling, Lang Yue locked the door, looking at the anti-theft and anti-escape device personally designed by her husband Tang Ziran, which could be considered giving herself a bit of psychological comfort.
As for Tang Li, he finished his meal early and returned to his room. He couldn't wait to study the wonders of the Demon-Sealing Pot himself!
He sat cross-legged on the bed, summoning his martial soul. Looking at the Demon-Sealing Pot floating above his hand, he felt as if those inscriptions were actively jumping into his mind.
Vague, indistinct images continuously flashed before his eyes. The more he wanted to see them clearly, the more he felt those images moving away from him!
Just as he was engrossed in it, Tang Wulin broke down the door. When she saw Tang Li sitting there cross-legged with a pale face, a frightened Tang Wulin hurried over to grab Tang Li's body and shake him, shouting while shaking:
"Xiaoli, Xiaoli, what's wrong with you! Don't scare me!"
"Don't... don't shake, I'm going to throw up."
Tang Li came back to his senses, only feeling a wave of dizziness. Fortunately, Tang Wulin woke him up, otherwise he estimated he would have had to wait until his spiritual power was exhausted before he could pull himself out of those images.
"Xiaoli, your complexion is so bad. Should I call Mom back to take you to the hospital to get checked?"
"No, no need, it's fine. This was just an accident."
Facing Tang Wulin's worry, Tang Li quickly waved his hand, indicating that he had no problems.
"I was just researching my own martial soul. My spiritual power consumption was a bit large, but it's fine. I'll meditate and rest for a bit and I'll be good."
"Meditation? Xiaoli, when did you learn a meditation method? Didn't they say they only teach us that after entering Red Mountain Academy?"
"Old Dad's bookcase has it. I've read it before, it's on the very top layer of the bookcase. You just need to go find it; I'm going to meditate."
As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes and entered his spiritual world together with the Demon-Sealing Pot, preparing to begin meditative cultivation.
Seeing Tang Li close his eyes, Tang Wulin went to look for a meditation method herself. She had aspired to become a powerful Soul Master since childhood, and she still had a lot of enthusiasm for cultivation!
When Tang Li entered the Spirit Sea widened by the Demon-Sealing Pot, he clearly felt that his spiritual power had grown a fraction of a thread.
Although the weak sensation of his spiritual power being on the verge of bottoming out was still there, he could be certain that this was the training he gained while watching the images contained within the inscriptions on the Demon-Sealing Pot!
Viewed this way, I can actually use visualization of the Demon-Sealing Pot to enhance my spiritual power in the future.
Tang Li knew that in this era of soul spirits, the strength of spiritual power was the prerequisite condition determining whether a Soul Master could obtain a powerful soul spirit.
Methods capable of enhancing spiritual power were bound to be incomparably precious, enough to become the foundation of a major power.
With that thought in mind, Tang Li intended to meditate for a while first, and continue visualizing the Demon-Sealing Pot after his spiritual power recovered.
He tried to circulate his soul power according to the meditation method he had secretly learned, letting the soul power that had just awakened within his body flow through the meridians in his body along the designated route.
The benefits of having strong spiritual power were manifested right here. Under Tang Li's precise guidance, the soul power slowly flowed along the meridians marked out in his memory...
Just as Tang Li was frantically grinding away, Tang Wulin looked at the meditation method for half a day, discovering that she simply couldn't achieve meditation without anyone guiding her, and instead grew increasingly sleepy.
Returning to the room, she saw that Tang Li's complexion had already recovered quite a bit, and cyan-gold soul power was still lingering around his body, setting him off to look as ethereal and refined as an immortal child.
Tang Wulin suspected whether it was because she was too stupid that she couldn't understand the meditation method, but her already hazy brain did not allow her to think any further, and she fell into a deep sleep upon lying down on her small bed.
And just as Tang Wulin fell into sleep and her breathing gradually grew even, a trident-shaped symbol between her eyebrows lit up together with golden dragon-scale-like patterns.
Simultaneously, a gaze carrying a scrutinizing intent shot out from the Golden Trident, passed through the cyan-gold soul power, and landed on Tang Li.
"Eh—"
