Furthermore, in the eyes of Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi long held a high position, was wise and adept at understanding people's hearts, acted with ease, and possessed a unique personal charm and outstanding interpersonal skills.
At the same time, as an authority among Auxiliary System Soul Master, he also has his own insights and methods in teaching others, and can impart a lot of knowledge about the Soul Master world and the principles of life to Xue Qinghe.
This will benefit Xue Qinghe's future ascension to the throne.
It can be said that Xue Ye went to great lengths for his son, Xue Qinghe.
Unfortunately, Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise. The real Xue Qinghe had already been killed by her. If Xue Ye knew the truth, he would probably faint from anger on the spot.
Upon hearing this news, Xue Qinghe appeared overjoyed, but inwardly he felt some resistance. He was not truly Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall. Although she was only twenty-one years old, her Soul Power Level was already close to level sixty. The people who usually taught her Martial Soul cultivation were all Titled Douluo hidden in the Spirit Hall 'Offering Hall, and in terms of strength and understanding of Martial Soul, each of them was superior to Ning Fengzhi.
Even so, Qian Renxue did not regard them as her teachers, but now she was to take a mere Seven-Ring Soul Sage as her teacher. How could she not feel resistant?
But there was no other way. Her current identity was Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, while Ning Fengzhi held a high position in the Heaven Dou Empire and had close ties with the royal family. By becoming his disciple, she could use him to win over more forces, expand her influence, and prepare for her future plans.
Furthermore, if one refuses, others will inevitably suspect something, so the teacher will have no choice but to accept the apprenticeship.
With this thought in mind, Xue Qinghe quickly came to Ning Fengzhi's side. He clasped his hands together, palms facing inward, and solemnly straightened his clothes. Then, he straightened his back, knelt heavily on one knee, and made a muffled sound.
Then, the other leg landed steadily, and he performed a proper prostration, his forehead almost touching the cold ground.
"Teacher, please accept my bow!" A clear voice echoed in the hall. Xue Qinghe's words were earnest, his tone full of respect and sincerity.
He remained in the bowing posture for a long time before slowly rising, standing with his hands at his sides, and looking respectfully at Ning Fengzhi. "I hope you will not hesitate to teach me in the future. I will study diligently and live up to your expectations."
Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xue Qinghe up, saying, "Your Highness, you're being too kind. There's no need for this."
Xue Qinghe shook his head. "Propriety cannot be disregarded. Even if I am the Crown Prince, in front of my teacher I am still just a student. It is only natural for a student to bow to his teacher. My teacher need not take it to heart."
Seeing Xue Qinghe's respectful and sincere attitude, Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed. He believed that Xue Qinghe was a humble, polite, and respectful prince who would surely become a wise ruler after ascending the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire. It was definitely a great thing that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could befriend him in advance.
But he didn't notice the cold glint that flashed in Xue Qinghe's lowered eyes.
Thus, Xue Qinghe officially became Ning Fengzhi's disciple.
Xue Ye was quite satisfied with his achievement and specially invited Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe to stay for dinner.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy, dormitory area.
Yu Tianheng pushed open the dormitory door, only to see Dugu Yan sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.
Upon hearing the commotion and recognizing Yu Tianheng as the visitor, Dugu Yan was overjoyed and quickly stopped her cultivation to greet him.
Yu Tianheng smiled and pulled Dugu Yan into his arms, " Yanyan, what are you doing today?"
Dugu Yan curled her lip. "What else can we do? It's nothing more than cultivating our Martial Soul."
"Oh, how's your cultivation going?"
Dugu Yan frowned slightly, looking helpless. "Cultivating Martial Soul is just too difficult! Even with the assistance of the Innate Skill, accumulating Soul Power still takes a lot of time. Every time I try to urge it on, I feel the Soul Power rushing around in my meridians. I finally manage to stabilize it, but the progress is as slow as a snail's pace. Sigh, I don't know when I'll be able to accumulate enough Soul Power to break through to level 35."
After hearing this, Yu Tianheng comforted her, saying, "That's how cultivation is. Yanyan, you don't need to take it to heart. Just follow the steps."
Dugu Yan was somewhat displeased upon hearing this, "You make it sound so easy. If you were facing an insurmountable bottleneck in your cultivation, you would be far more anxious than I am."
Yu Tianheng chuckled lightly, "Well, I'm sorry, but so far, I don't seem to have encountered any cultivation bottlenecks. My Soul Power is accumulating every day, and I should be able to break through to level 44 in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan became even more enraged and directly bit Yu Tianheng's shoulder. Unfortunately, Yu Tianheng cultivated Martial Dao and had a strong physical body. Dugu Yan's bite not only failed to harm Yu Tianheng in the slightest, but also caused her own teeth to ache.
"Hmph!" Dugu Yan snorted coldly, releasing Yu Tianheng, her anger blazing. "Damn it, how did you train? Your body is so tough, I couldn't even bite it!"
"What's this? I have even harder ones on me."
"Where?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise.
Yu Tianheng grinned wickedly and brought his face close to Dugu Yan's. "What do you think?"
Dugu Yan seemed to have thought of something, and her pretty face immediately turned red as she turned her head away.
But Yu Tianheng wouldn't let it go. He turned Dugu Yan's face around, his expression becoming serious. " Yanyan, you feel your cultivation speed is slow, but I do have a way to increase your cultivation speed. It just depends on whether you're willing to use it?"
Dugu Yan was startled and quickly asked, "What method?"
Yu Tianheng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Dual cultivation!"
"I have mastered a cultivation technique called the ' Joyous Union Art.' This technique requires couples to practice. It uses 'love' as the guide and 'desire' as the medium to fuse the Soul Power and emotions of both men and women. During practice, both parties must open their hearts, based on love and trust, and interact with each other's Soul Power through intimate contact. In the harmony of yin and yang, they can unleash their inner potential, causing their Soul Power to surge like spring water, thereby breaking through cultivation bottlenecks and elevating their cultivation level."
"Do you want to learn?" Yu Tianheng asked.
Dugu Yan frowned slightly. "You wouldn't be planning something bad and deliberately making up this excuse to deceive me, would you?"
"How could I lie to you! This technique really exists, and its effects are just as I described before. Do you want to give it a try?" Yu Tianheng said sincerely.
He wasn't lying to Dugu Yan. Ever since Dugu Yan consummated their relationship last night, he suddenly realized he could use a dual cultivation technique to quickly improve their strength. So he immediately opened the system shop, searched for dual cultivation techniques, and finally found this " Joyous Union Art ".
So he gritted his teeth and Heavenly Mandate Points to buy it. He originally wanted to find Dugu Yan to cultivate with immediately, but because he had already made an appointment with Xue Qinghe and could not break his promise, he had to put the matter aside.
