"Good. You don't reach for what lies beyond your grasp. Your temperament is indeed sound. You will certainly cultivate faster than I have and go farther than I have."
Earth Granny offered a word of praise.
"Although it only contains the cultivation methods for the first two realms, this is still an orthodox cultivation method. Whatever world you were in before, whatever method you practiced, you can switch to it directly."
"The power within your body will convert directly into Primordial World cultivation."
"At the same time, those bones in your body that do not belong to you will be forced out, and your outward disguise will also fade."
Qian Renxue hurriedly waved both hands. "Granny, I wasn't deliberately hiding it from you. I just..."
Earth Granny waved her hand. "Say no more. It is good to be vigilant. If you wish to keep up your disguise in the future, you will need to learn a few minor transformation spells."
"I have none here. That will depend on your future opportunities."
"Remember this: after switching cultivation methods, do not casually merge things that do not belong to you into your body again."
"Your own body is the finest gift Heaven has given you. Every person's body is a world unto itself. Do not alter it carelessly."
"I understand."
Qian Renxue knew she was referring to the Angel Soul Bones she had absorbed.
But so be it. The Primordial World's system of power did not require them.
The mere fact that the Soul Bones could be separated from her already surpassed her imagination.
Inside the little wooden cabin, Qian Renxue woke in a daze.
Two items had appeared beside her pillow: a drab gray cloth pouch the size of her palm, and a thin booklet bearing the words "Qi Refining Method."
Earth Granny's voice sounded beside her ear.
"Little girl, this is a storage pouch. It contains a one-kilometer space. Once you succeed at Refining Essence into Qi for the first time, you will be able to use it. It is much better than your current storage implement. At the very least, other people cannot see what is inside."
"A Storage Bag a kilometer across?"
Qian Renxue was astonished. On the Douluo Continent, there were barely even a few Storage Soul Tools a hundred meters across.
But her face soon flushed again. Earth Granny could actually see what was inside her Storage Soul Tool. This Storage Soul Tool was simply garbage.
No wonder Granny had not even thought much of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
"Thank you for nurturing me, Granny. I'm sorry to have put you to such expense."
Qian Renxue went outside and bowed toward the divine statue.
"It is only a little trinket, used only by us mortal cultivators. It is worth very little."
On the Douluo Continent.
"Is she really just a minor Earth God who oversees an area of a dozen or so li? Even a casual gift from her is this generous?"
"A Storage Bag a kilometer across. Unheard of."
"The Primordial World is practically littered with treasures. Even an Earth God is this wealthy."
The people of the Douluo Continent were growing a little numb.
They found that they wanted everything they saw from the Primordial World.
In the Heaven Dou Empire.
"That Storage Bag was exchanged for our national treasure! If it had been given to our Heaven Dou Empire, our soldiers would never have to worry about logistics again when campaigning far from home."
Xue Ye hung his head and stamped his feet, his heart aching terribly.
The other major powers did not react quite as strongly to the Storage Bag, since it did nothing to improve their strength.
Besides, Earth Granny had said it was worth very little.
Now, the higher their standing, the more they trusted Earth Granny. They had already recognized the Primordial World's might.
Only fools and ill-intentioned scoundrels with ulterior aims were still questioning the Primordial World.
Thus, every faction fixed its eyes on the livestream.
"Qian Renxue is about to cultivate."
At that moment, whether it was Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang hidden in Shrek Academy, or Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, they all took out paper and brushes.
This livestream has exposed all of Xiao Xue's secrets.
Bibi Dong cursed inwardly, yet she too frantically took notes.
Qian Renxue had already returned to her room and begun trying to cultivate, and the people of the Douluo Continent saw every last word of the Qi Refining Method.
"Refining Essence into Qi is different from cultivating Soul Power. There is no need to hunt Demon Beasts. Instead, one absorbs the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth."
"The greater the concentration of Spiritual Qi and the better the cultivation method, the faster one cultivates."
"I can't find a place with a high concentration of Spiritual Qi, so I'll try cultivating first."
Qian Renxue began her first cultivation session.
On the Douluo Continent.
"Quick, try cultivating it."
In Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu's great skill gave him courage, and he trusted his granddaughter completely. He immediately sat with his palms, soles, and crown facing heaven and began trying to practice this supreme method from the Primordial World.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi hesitated.
"Neither Uncle Jian nor Uncle Gu is here. I fear no one will dare try it lightly."
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Clan leader, should we give it a try?"
"Do not act rashly. We are still on the Douluo Continent. If Spiritual Qi conflicts with Soul Power, we will be finished."
At the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao swept his gaze over the elders.
"Is anyone willing to try this cultivation method?"
"Whoever wants to try it can do so. I certainly won't. Hmph, I have cultivated Soul Power my entire life. I refuse to believe this Spiritual Qi can outdo it."
None of the other elders tried it either.
Tang Xiao gave a helpless, bitter smile. Their long seclusion had left these sect elders immersed in the glory of the Clear Sky Sect's former standing as the greatest sect under heaven, unable to pull themselves free.
Coupled with the many uncertainties surrounding this method, no one was willing to take the risk.
Tang Xiao very much wanted to try, but he could not.
Brother Hao has not yet returned to the sect. If I fall, he will never be able to return.
Very well, I'll wait a little longer. Yuehua should be able to find Brother Hao before long.
At Shrek Academy.
"Should we try it?"
Oscar asked with an innocent expression.
Yet when he turned his head, he saw that Yu Xiaogang was already sitting on the ground.
"Master, are you going to try?"
Yu Xiaogang said nothing. Flender hurriedly stopped Oscar.
"Little Ao, quiet. Don't disturb Xiaogang."
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes nearby.
He had attacked the Primordial World more fiercely than anyone earlier, yet now he was eagerly scurrying off to practice its Qi Refining Method. Utterly shameless.
She wanted to try it too, but she did not dare without asking her father.
Tang Hao, meanwhile, was very pleased with Yu Xiaogang's attitude. Once he had tried it and found no problems, Xiao San could cultivate it.
Tang San admitted that the Primordial World might be formidable in other respects, but he thought little of this cultivation method.
It merely absorbs Spiritual Qi. If I were in the Primordial World, my Mysterious Heaven Skill would be no worse than the Heavenly Court's cultivation methods, let alone a method that only reaches the second realm. My Tang Sect's internal cultivation method has a full nine levels.
The fact that cultivating it on the Douluo Continent produces Soul Power only proves that the Douluo Continent has no such thing as Spiritual Qi. I'm afraid Teacher will be disappointed.
Tang San was extremely confident in the Mysterious Heaven Skill-so confident that he was still using it tens of thousands of years after becoming a god.
Yu Xiaogang did not know what the others were thinking, nor did he care. His mind worked better than anyone else's present.
There could absolutely be nothing wrong with this cultivation method.
I must break through level thirty!
That was the sole thought in his heart at that moment.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, the sky within the Light Screen grew light.
Seven Soul Rings suddenly rose around Qian Renxue.
Crack~
A cracking sound rang out, followed by an even denser series of cracks.
In just a few breaths, all seven Soul Rings were covered in fissures.
After another breath, the seven Soul Rings shattered completely and vanished without a trace.
It was not over yet. A soft white light emanated from Qian Renxue, and the Soul Bones inside her could be seen slowly being forced out.
"Xiao Xue!"
In Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu tensed.
Once a Soul Bone had merged with the body, removing it required severing a limb. No one had ever successfully separated one before.
Fortunately, there was no sign of pain on Qian Renxue's face.
