Qian Daoliu's Arrival

A year later, in a room within Spirit Hall's Library Pavilion.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, soft rays falling across the boy's face, warm and bright.

Outlined by the sunlight, his features appeared upright and solemn.

His gaze was calm and deep as he looked at the book before him. A faint trace of confusion lay between his brows, and one hand rubbed his chin as though he were pondering something.

The girl sat quietly beside him, supporting her cheek with one hand as she watched him think.

For some reason, Qian Renxue let out a soft laugh.

"I've got it!"

Lin Feng struck his fist into his palm, a look of realization appearing on his face.

"What did you think of, Xiao Feng? Tell me, tell me!"

Qian Renxue blinked her eyes and took the opportunity to lean a little closer.

"I was thinking, perhaps we can start with Soul Rings. As the foundation for storing Soul Power and Soul Skills, why do Soul Rings manifest outside the Martial Soul?

The Martial Soul is part of the human body itself, so logically speaking, Soul Rings should also be able to exist within the body.

Both serve as places where Soul Power is stored and circulated. There should be similarities between meridians and Soul Rings.

Perhaps the legendary methods of Explode Ring and Ring Fusion are related to this as well!"

Lin Feng's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He instinctively felt that he had found a viable path.

By now, he had already absorbed his first hundred-year Soul Ring and reached level 11.

Yet his research into Soul Power pathways still had not made a breakthrough. Reconstructing channels within the body and forming corresponding routes was truly perplexing.

Although he had chosen to rebuild a new foundation within his body and adopted the Soul Vein Cultivation Method, eliminating the limitation that Innate Soul Power at level 1 could not break through to Soul Elder—

That was not the end Lin Feng sought. With only the current Innate Soul Evolution Art, he could not attain the cultivation speed of Innate Full Soul Power aptitude.

Moreover, the Cultivation Method lacked universality. Extracting a viable plan from his personal case would still require a long process.

The Innate Treasure Pearl played an extremely important role in his exploration of Cultivation Methods. At present, there was nothing on the continent that could replace it.

"Soul Rings are condensed Soul Power, while meridians are riverbeds through which Soul Power surges. If the two can be combined, if Soul Rings can be brought into the body, then we should be able to find the path best suited to ourselves.

After all, Soul Rings are attachments to Martial Souls, and Martial Souls are part of oneself. If we simply move the Soul Rings somewhere else—"

Listening to Lin Feng's muttering, Qian Renxue began to feel a little frightened.

"Xiao Feng! What are you thinking? How can Soul Rings continuously manifest inside the body? Do you know how terrifying the energy inside Soul Rings is? Our bodies can't withstand it!

Wake up already! Don't think about such dangerous things!"

Qian Renxue shook Lin Feng's head so hard that she made him dizzy.

"Stop, stop, stop! Xiao Xue, I feel nauseous. You're too strong!"

"Uh... sorry."

Qian Renxue awkwardly withdrew her hands. In her panic, she had actually used Soul Power. As a Soul Elder, she really could have hurt Lin Feng that way.

Lin Feng rubbed his brow and looked at Qian Renxue teasingly.

"What, are you worried I'll die?"

"Hmph, no. I just don't want one of my friends to turn out to be an idiot trying to get himself killed."

Qian Renxue's gaze drifted away.

Lin Feng smiled with pursed lips. Her personality was still the same. He wondered when she would ever change.

"Don't worry. I won't do anything I'm not confident about. Rivers surge with majestic force, yet they eventually flow into the sea.

Soul Power is like water. The Soul Power within Soul Rings may be vast, but as long as I find the right method, it may not be impossible to bring it into the human body.

If it is a flood, then I'll construct dams one by one, divide it into branching streams, and widen the channels of the meridians.

As long as I put my mind to it, I'll succeed. Don't forget, my Martial Soul was practically born for this."

Qian Renxue stared blankly at Lin Feng, recalling his First Soul Skill—Breath of Life.

It was a healing-type Soul Skill, yet its effects were extraordinarily powerful. Its ability to restore the physical body faintly approached that of the Nine Heart Begonia.

Especially when it came to repairing meridians, this Soul Skill had effects that could only be called heaven-defying. As long as they were not vital meridians, almost all damage could be repaired. It was merely a matter of time.

That meant Lin Feng could wreak havoc on his own meridians as much as he wished. As long as the damage was not too severe, a period of recovery would restore them.

Together with his Martial Soul's innate ability to purify Soul Power and nourish meridians, it was as though this Martial Soul had been prepared for the birth of a new Cultivation Method.

Qian Renxue pressed her lips together. Over the past year, she had come to understand that once Lin Feng made up his mind to do something, it was difficult to make him give up—especially when it was something he had always pursued.

"Fine, but I want to discuss something with you. Whenever you explore through cultivation in the future, you must do it during the day, and you have to call me over, all right?"

There was a faintly pleading note in Qian Renxue's voice.

Lin Feng naturally understood what she meant. She surely intended to secretly arrange helpers, lest he make a mistake in cultivation and seriously damage his body.

Lin Feng's gaze softened slightly.

"All right. No problem. I promise you."

"Mhm. I believe you'll definitely succeed too."

Qian Renxue let out a sigh of relief and changed the subject.

Just then, a steady voice rang out within the room.

"Kid, you don't mind this old man coming in to sit for a while, do you?"

Qian Renxue's pupils widened slightly. She pulled away from Lin Feng and looked toward the door with some panic.

"G-Grandfather? Why are you here...?"

Qian Daoliu sighed irritably.

"I came to see the genius boy you keep talking about in my ear every day. What, am I not welcome?"

"Grandfather~" Qian Renxue stepped forward and shook Qian Daoliu's arm.

"Of course Xiao Xue welcomes you here. You just didn't tell me in advance, so it's normal that Xiao Xue was surprised."

Qian Daoliu immediately broke into a smile, looking rather foolish.

"All right, all right. It's Grandfather's fault. I should have told you beforehand."

Qian Renxue winked at Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng greets the Great Enshrinement."

Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised as he watched Lin Feng bow. He glanced sideways at Qian Renxue, only to see her shake her head.

Qian Daoliu nodded. "Rise. You're quite clever to have guessed Xiao Xue's identity."

"You flatter me, Great Enshrinement. Over the past year, Xiao Xue never displayed her Martial Soul. As one of Spirit Hall's upper ranks, her Soul Power possesses a holy and noble quality.

She could also easily obtain a token for the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Combined with Xiao Xue's usual words and behavior, it was not difficult to guess."

Qian Renxue curled her lips.

"You stinky Lin Feng! So you knew all along and still acted with me for so long. Was that fun?"

Lin Feng looked apologetic.

"It was my fault, but didn't you hide your identity too, Xiao Xue? Before it was time to explain things like now, how could I have dared to expose you?"

"You... hmph. Anyway, I'm angry now. Figure it out yourself." Qian Renxue put her hands on her hips and turned her head away.

Qian Daoliu watched the scene with great interest. He did not know whether it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt as though he was a little unnecessary.
