Lin Feng had deliberately revealed the current state of his research to Qian Renxue.
If he could establish a connection with the Young Master of Spirit Hall, he would be one step closer to gaining access to Spirit Hall's Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
Lin Feng's research into the body's meridians had already reached a bottleneck.
The Soul Power routes he had created followed one primary principle: they must not cause the body any discomfort.
With the Innate Treasure Pearl's nourishment and Purification as support, he had opened up these Soul Power routes.
By now, Lin Feng had preliminarily constructed Spirit Power Meridian Paths within his body that could circulate through a complete cycle.
He named this Cultivation Method the "Innate Soul Evolution Art."
But unfortunately, without any other in-depth Spirit research cases to refer to, Lin Feng did not dare rashly make breakthroughs in the routes.
For example, what Lin Feng was doing now was like building a new bridge between two rivers, allowing them to converge.
This method allowed him to detect changes in his body immediately. If anything felt abnormal or uncomfortable, he could stop at once.
He had already explored all the stable routes with absolutely no side effects. What he needed to do now was open up new routes.
That meant opening new meridians and striking at new acupoints!
And for that, he needed to draw upon other knowledge. The open Library did not have what he needed.
However, for the current Lin Feng, the Innate Soul Evolution Art was already enough to support his cultivation.
With the Innate Treasure Pearl, the reshaping of his meridians, and the nourishment of his Soul Power, he had made up for his innate deficiencies. This was also one of the reasons his Soul Power had grown so quickly.
Part of the reason he had risen five ranks in a year was the restoration of his foundation.
By his estimation, his current cultivation speed was roughly equivalent to someone with Innate Soul Power at rank seven.
That was a terrifying prospect. If the Cultivation Method could be further perfected, made universally applicable, and widely promoted, then the Spirit Master World would undergo a revolution.
Looking at Qian Renxue before him with her lips slightly parted, Lin Feng curled his lips into a faint smile, moved the little hand in his own, and asked softly,
"Then? Do you want to learn?"
Qian Renxue came back to her senses. A strange tingling rose from her palm, and she hurriedly pulled back her little hand, staring at Lin Feng.
The two simply stared at one another, wide-eyed.
In the end, Qian Renxue was the first to look away.
This guy... seems pretty handsome.
"Ahem. I'll give you this chance. Teach me!"
"Heh."
Lin Feng chuckled softly. He had not expected Qian Renxue at this age to be such a tsundere. She was rather cute.
"No problem, but I have one request. Isn't your family in Spirit Hall's upper ranks? Help me obtain borrowing privileges for the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and I'll teach you."
Qian Renxue waved her hand dismissively. "Leave such a small matter to me. But!"
Qian Renxue puffed out her cheeks. "I thought you were taking the initiative to teach me because you wanted to be friends with me. So you wanted compensation after all?"
Lin Feng spread his hands. "Oh, my young lady, why do you think I researched these Soul Power Meridians in the first place? I don't have anything right now, so of course I have to work hard to obtain resources!
"But still, I'd be happy to be friends with you. Would you like that?"
Looking at the hand Lin Feng offered her, Qian Renxue tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth from rising, then reached out and shook it.
"Sure. From now on, we're friends!"
Within Douluo Hall, beneath the Angel Statue, a figure sat cross-legged as a golden halo drifted around him.
A year ago, after Qian Renxue's Spirit Awakening, he had received information regarding the inheritance of the Gods.
As the Great Enshrinement and the final link in the Divine Examination, he had already prepared himself to die. In order to leave Qian Renxue with better sacrificial resources in the end, he had decided to cultivate within Douluo Hall from now on and keep himself in peak condition.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I need your help with something!"
A bright smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's stern face. He quickly rose to his feet and rubbed Qian Renxue's head.
"What is it, Xue Er? What could possibly require you to discuss it with me? Did your father do something wrong again and upset you? Tell Grandpa, and I'll go teach him a lesson!"
Qian Renxue shook her head.
"Of course not, Grandpa. Let me tell you, I found a genius!"
"Oh? Who could possibly earn such high praise from my Xiao Xue?"
Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised. Qian Renxue, with Innate Soul Power at rank twenty, had pride in her bones. Anyone who could earn her recognition must surely possess extraordinary qualities.
"Hehe."
Qian Renxue began recounting everything, telling him about Lin Feng's situation and request in detail.
The more Qian Daoliu listened, the more astonished he became. He had never imagined such a creative theory could come from a seven-year-old child?
"It truly is a genius idea, and he also has the courage to think and act."
Qian Daoliu grew somewhat excited. If what Qian Renxue said was true, would that not add another cornerstone to Spirit Hall's future?
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to ask a question, he heard Qian Renxue continue,
"That guy really is impressive, but he's a little too dull. Whenever we talk, I always have to keep the conversation going. Honestly.
"But he's passable, I suppose. His personality is actually quite good. He barely qualifies to be my friend."
Seeing the smile naturally appear on Qian Renxue's face, Qian Daoliu's heart skipped a beat. Why did he suddenly feel so stifled?
"Xiao Xue, this Lin Feng... is a girl, right?"
Qian Renxue looked at him in surprise.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? A name like Lin Feng obviously belongs to a boy."
Qian Daoliu was speechless.
Forget it. They're both still young. What could possibly happen? Qian Daoliu coughed lightly.
"Haha, Grandpa was mistaken. Your father isn't in Spirit City, so I'll send someone to notify him. Take this token first and give it to that child called Lin Feng.
"Can his Cultivation Method be promoted now?"
Qian Renxue accepted the token. It was ancient and plain, without excessive carvings, bearing only the character "Soul."
She shook her head slightly.
"He said that his current Soul Power paths are only suitable for his own cultivation. Also, he has to rely on his Spirit to explore the meridians within his body.
"So it can't be promoted for now."
Qian Daoliu stroked his chin and nodded. That made sense. The creation of such a Cultivation Method could not possibly be accomplished overnight, especially when its creator was only a seven-year-old child.
"Purification-type Spirits that assist in nourishing the body are rare, but the Research Institute should still have some. We can have Ji Er organize some research."
"Then, Grandpa, I'll be leaving first?"
Qian Daoliu watched Qian Renxue, who was already eager to leave the moment she received the token, and the corner of his mouth twitched again.
"Go on, go on. Xiao Xue, remember not to reveal your Spirit for now."
"Got it, Grandpa!"
Qian Renxue ran down the mountain without even looking back.
Qian Daoliu shook his head and sent a Telepathic Communication toward a certain location.
"Pufferfish, go protect Xiao Xue. Also, bring me all of Lin Feng's information and arrange his lodging and daily needs."
"Yes, Great Enshrinement."
Lin Feng beamed with joy upon receiving the token. He had not expected Qian Daoliu to grant him access to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion so easily.
It seemed Qian Daoliu valued him greatly. Sure enough, having a little rich friend was wonderful.
"Hmm?"
Qian Renxue watched Lin Feng continuously Play With the token, and a flicker of irritation rose in her heart. She had gone and asked for the token on his behalf, yet the first thing he did was play with it?
"Uh, sorry. Thank you, Young Lady Xiao."
Lin Feng scratched his head awkwardly.
"At least you have some conscience. Come on, tell me about the improvements to that Meditation Method. I'm very interested."
