Morning Light Eastern Purple Qi

Morning Light—Eastern Purple Qi

"Young Master, congratulations. Not only did you successfully absorb the Soul Ring, your soul power has also reached rank twelve."

Ning Haiyan, who had been silently standing guard at the side, sensed Xu Yang's condition and immediately stepped forward to congratulate him. At that moment, he felt the sect had truly taken care of him by assigning him as Xu Yang's protector. With a genius like this, once Xu Yang became a Titled Douluo in the future, even the tiniest bit that slipped through his fingers would bring him endless benefits.

"Uncle Ning, I succeeded!"

Xu Yang replied with a smile. Although his soul power had not increased by much, he discovered that it seemed to have been burned and refined by his Sun Martial Soul, passively becoming more condensed.

Purer soul power meant his foundation was sturdier, and a sturdier foundation meant his future achievements would be even greater. Perhaps in the future, he would not be the slightest bit inferior to Tang San.

Moreover, in the future, he would continue compressing and refining his soul power.

He might even condense a Soul Core.

He was extremely satisfied with the results of absorbing this Soul Ring.

But at the same time, a new problem had appeared. The Sun Soul Power that had already been ten percent converted made him uncomfortable. Every moment, he felt a dry heat and a sensation of his body being burned. He had to find a way to solve this.

"Then let's hurry back to the sect! Although the Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest are generally on the weaker side, staying here for too long is still very dangerous."

There were no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest, so there was no so-called King of the Forest. However, there were several Soul Beasts within it that were eighty or ninety thousand years old, and those Soul Beasts hated Spirit Masters to the bone. If they were discovered, things would become dangerous.

"Then let's pick a few Sun Flowers before we leave!"

Xu Yang naturally would not get careless just because he had a Soul Saint bodyguard. After hearing Ning Haiyan's reminder, he quickly nodded in agreement.

The reason he wanted to take Sun Flowers was because Sun Flowers could create a Mimicry Environment suitable for him. In truth, this place was the most suitable environment for cultivation, but it was located inside Sunset Forest, where danger lurked everywhere, making it impossible to cultivate with peace of mind.

So he could only pick a few Sun Flowers and plant a small flower field in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Although its efficiency would not compare to this sea of flowers, it would definitely have an effect.

Thus, the two of them picked several Sun Flowers outside, then set off back to the sect.

On the way back to the sect, Xu Yang also discovered the changes in himself. First, his face, which had still been a little chubby, had become more defined and resolute. His muscles, which had originally not been very obvious, had also become much more pronounced. His height had increased by about five centimeters as well, bringing him to one meter forty, half a head taller than children his age.

As he moved, he only felt that his body was light and effortless.

He stretched out his index finger, and a wisp of flame burned at his fingertip. He had been able to perform this kind of manipulation before, but it had absolutely not been as easy as it was now.

"Looks like my previous guess was right. What a Soul Ring brings isn't just a Soul Skill, soul power, and bodily improvement, but also control over the Martial Soul. It should be said that as one Soul Ring after another is obtained, the Martial Soul begins to merge with the body. The deeper the fusion, the stronger the control over the Martial Soul naturally becomes."

"By the time one reaches Soul Saint, the Martial Soul should be able to completely fuse with the body and become something similar to a human organ. That's why Soul Saint is the most important stage in a Spirit Master's cultivation, and why a Spirit Master's Seventh Soul Skill is always Martial Soul Avatar."

"If it really is as I think, then the choice of the first seven Soul Rings absolutely cannot be careless. First, the attribute must match the Martial Soul itself. Then, the age must be as close as possible to the limit one can absorb. Only then can the sturdiest foundation be laid for one's own development."

Through absorbing this Soul Ring, Xu Yang also figured out many points he had not understood before, gaining greatly from it.

As expected, only practice could truly answer the doubts in his heart.

The two of them spent more than two hours returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After that, Xu Yang returned to his residence and began studying his First Soul Skill.

"First Soul Skill Light!"

As the deep yellow beneath Xu Yang's feet lit up, the Sun Martial Soul suspended above his head scattered down a gentle golden light that sank into his body. At once, he felt his body relax, warm and comfortable all over. The dry heat and burning sensation on his body also faded somewhat, but they soon returned.

His First Soul Skill had not mutated because he had absorbed a seven-hundred-year Sun Flower. It was still Morning Light, a healing Soul Skill that could treat injuries to the body, and even hidden injuries.

Now that the "Morning Light" Soul Skill could make him feel comfortable, it showed that the ten percent converted Sun Soul Power had already caused injuries to his body that were difficult to detect. He simply could not feel them.

"Looks like before I solve this problem, the conversion of soul power can only be stopped for now."

He did not want to ruin his future because he cultivated too aggressively.

"It's just that 'Morning Light' seems to only have healing as its function at the moment. It doesn't seem like there are more tricks I can play with it. But I should still be able to learn something from it and develop a relatively decent secret art."

Sitting cross-legged on the balcony, Xu Yang fiddled with the Sun Flower in the flowerpot while thinking. In his view, after obtaining a Soul Skill, he definitely had to thoroughly understand it, then use the essence of the Soul Skill to assist himself. If he only applied the ability of the Soul Skill itself, that would be pure idiocy.

But "Morning Light" was a purely supportive Soul Skill, and its functionality was too narrow. It only healed. Right now, he could only see whether he could research a set of abilities that belonged to him from within it.

"Morning Light! Morning Light! The sunlight of morning!... Eastern Purple Qi!"

"The fact that Tang San can cultivate Purple Demon Eyes in this world proves that Eastern Purple Qi exists in this world too."

"And Morning Light represents the sunlight of morning. The light of the rising sun also counts as morning sunlight. Can I use this Soul Skill to gather that Eastern Purple Qi?"

Once this thought rose in his mind, he could no longer suppress it. Xu Yang felt the probability of success was very high. Once he succeeded, the benefits to him would be tremendous.

He vaguely remembered that in Taoist settings, Eastern Purple Qi was the first breath produced when the sun first rose and yin and yang intersected. It possessed the effect of transforming and giving birth to all things, and was also a symbol of auspiciousness and wisdom. In his previous life, many wuxia and fantasy novels held this energy in extremely high regard. After absorbing it, one could obtain many benefits.

Although he did not know what the specific benefits were, there definitely would not be any harm!

Since so many people held this energy in such high esteem, there had to be a reason for it. Therefore, he absolutely had to absorb this Eastern Purple Qi.

However, if he wanted to absorb this energy, it would only appear in the morning when the sun first rose. The sky had not even turned dark yet, so even if he wanted to absorb it, there was no way. There were at least fourteen hours until the next sunrise.

So Xu Yang did not plan to waste these fourteen hours either. After setting aside eight hours for rest, he intended to use the remaining six hours to plan out his cultivation schedule.

In the past, at the orphanage, although he had enough to eat and wear, the nutrition in the meals simply could not support high-intensity training. Therefore, Xu Yang had basically only done some basic exercises, using the rest of his time for meditation and studying knowledge related to Spirit Masters.
