Capítulo 7: Chapter 7: The Method for Cultivating the Golden Sacred Dragon, Teacher is Truly Busy
A mysterious, indescribable sensation suddenly filled Zhou Yi's mind, as if he had arrived in another world, where he focused solely on cultivating the Sacred Heart Art.
He wasn't sure how much time passed.
Pop!
It was as though an invisible barrier had been punctured, and a sudden clarity arose in his mind. The profound mysteries of the Sacred Heart Art surged forth.
He had finally entered the first stage of the technique.
"Two days... not bad, the Sacred Heart Art is now at the entry level!"
Zhou Yi felt a surge of excitement. Without delay, he began circulating his Soul Power according to the Sacred Heart Art's profound principles, swiftly opening up his meridians.
The blocked passages fell away like soil piled under the Yangtze River, easily collapsing under the pressure, though his Soul Power was quickly draining.
When Zhou Yi completed the opening of his twelve primary meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, his Soul Power had been exhausted. However, an entirely new form of 'Soul Power' surged within his dantian.
This new Soul Power should be referred to as True Qi—Sacred Heart True Qi.
Sacred Heart True Qi not only possessed a powerful healing effect, capable of bringing the dead back to life, but it was also more resilient and formidable than the Soul Power Zhou Yi had cultivated before.
From his calculations, just a strand of Sacred Heart True Qi was equivalent to at least one hundred strands of Soul Power.
That wasn't even considering the special effects of Sacred Heart True Qi.
At this moment, Zhou Yi had only one sensation—he was invincible.
Not only could he dominate at his own level, but even challenging opponents above his rank would be as easy as eating or drinking.
Suppressing his excitement, Zhou Yi continued to diligently cultivate the Sacred Heart Art.
With this technique, his cultivation had already surpassed mere meditation by far.
Meditation was like an old man pulling a cart.
With cultivation techniques, it was like having an electric motor installed.
Even though Sacred Heart True Qi was a hundred times more powerful than regular Soul Power, it continued to increase steadily under the Sacred Heart Art's guidance.
Half an hour passed.
Finally, Zhou Yi's dantian was completely filled with Sacred Heart True Qi.
But he didn't stop.
He kept circulating the technique.
Pop!
The sound of a barrier breaking again rang out. Zhou Yi's dantian expanded slightly, now able to contain even more True Qi.
An hour later.
Zhou Yi sensed that he could not break through any further for the time being, so he stopped cultivating.
He looked at his status panel.
Host: Zhou Yi
Age: 22
Cultivation Level: Great Soul Master (Rank 27)
Martial Soul: Divine Dragon Sword
Cultivation Technique: Sacred Heart Art Entry Level (56/10000)
Soul Skills: Flickering Light (520 years), Distant Heaven (1001 years)
Skills: Thirteen Deadly Swords, Grandmaster-level Medical Skills
Experience Points: 0
"The Sacred Heart Art is indeed powerful, it raised my rank by four levels in an instant!"
Zhou Yi marveled at his progress. However, it was also a result of accumulating power over time—after all, his Martial Soul had evolved, and now he was cultivating the Sacred Heart Art. A four-level increase was normal.
The greatest gain, however, was Zhou Yi's current strength.
The Sacred Heart True Qi was incredibly strong, allowing him to fight above his rank with ease. Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor—he could easily defeat them.
He could even catch Soul Kings and Soul Emperors off guard and strike them down.
If he had a powerful attack technique, such as a sword that could sever time or enhanced Thirteen Deadly Swords raised to the Fifteen Deadly Swords level...
He could even challenge a Titled Douluo.
Of course.
This would depend on timing and surprise attacks. After all, although the quality of Zhou Yi's True Qi was high, in terms of quantity, it was still inferior to that of advanced Soul Masters.
He only had enough power for one strike at the moment.
"However, now that I have Grandmaster-level Medical Skills, there's no need to risk my life. I'll make some poisons later. Even if a Titled Douluo shows up, I can easily poison them!"
Zhou Yi felt confident, and his posture became firmer.
"Master!"
Liu Erlong groggily woke up. The way she called out "Master" almost made Zhou Yi, whose strength had greatly increased, lose control.
However, it was getting late, and Liu Erlong had worked hard last night, so Zhou Yi could only suppress the urge.
Liu Erlong helped Zhou Yi get out of bed, change clothes, wash up, and have breakfast.
By the time they were finished, the sun had already risen.
Zhou Yi helped Liu Erlong, who was still limping, into the living room.
Yu Xiaogang had been waiting for a while.
He had come early to pay respects to Zhou Yi and Liu Erlong.
Unfortunately,
He had waited for an hour and a half before finally seeing Zhou Yi and Liu Erlong arrive.
Liu Erlong's fair and delicate face was glowing with health. While her appearance hadn't changed, she still looked as beautiful and captivating as ever.
But the mature, intoxicating aura subtly present between her brows was something that Yu Xiaogang had never seen before.
It was something completely different from the youthful energy he was used to.
Not daring to look any longer, Yu Xiaogang quickly lowered his head and respectfully stepped forward to greet them:
"Disciple greets Teacher and Teacher's wife!"
"No need for such formalities."
After the greeting, Zhou Yi, seeing how proper and respectful Yu Xiaogang was, was quite satisfied and decided to share some 'knowledge' with him.
After all, Yu Xiaogang called him teacher, so it wouldn't do to let him call for nothing.
"Xiaogang, I remember your Martial Soul, the Luo San Pao, can consume food, right?"
Zhou Yi asked, looking at Yu Xiaogang.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Yu Xiaogang responded seriously, respectfully saying:
"When I use my Martial Soul, I often feed Luo San Pao white radishes to replenish its energy and reduce my Soul Power consumption."
Zhou Yi nodded.
"Yesterday, I told you that mental power can influence your Martial Soul. But your Martial Soul is different, it has mutated into a living creature, which means it's more likely to evolve!
"Because not only can it be influenced by mental power, but when you release it, you can also change and cultivate it using food and spiritual herbs!
"Feeding it only radishes is definitely not enough. You can't treat it like a pig, you must treat it like a dragon!
"You can feed it foods or herbs containing the essence of 'dragon,' or refine its body with dragon blood. If real dragon blood isn't available, you can use the blood of other dragon-descendant soul beasts...
"In short, your Martial Soul is special, and you can influence its evolution both through mental power and physical nourishment!"
[Note: Changing spiritual power to mental power.]
As Zhou Yi finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang was struck as if by lightning, standing frozen in place, his eyes wide, mouth agape, and his breathing quickened.
Indeed.
His mutated Martial Soul, Luo San Pao, was a living creature, so it could be guided to change through both physical and mental means.
It was like having double the firepower.
His Luo San Pao was much more likely to mutate than others.
Moreover, it was originally the Golden Sacred Dragon; it had only taken on this form after mutation.
But with such a top-tier Martial Soul base, mutation would be far easier.
As long as he applied both methods, the mutation of his Martial Soul would be a matter of time.
"Teacher is truly a genius! One word woke me from my slumber. I've learned much!"
Yu Xiaogang bowed deeply, his excitement obvious.
He felt that as long as he followed Teacher's guidance, his Martial Soul would likely mutate, and it wouldn't take long either.
Success seemed so close; he could almost reach out and grasp it.
His decision to become a disciple yesterday had indeed been the right one.
Today, he came early to greet Teacher and Teacher's wife, and after waiting for an hour and a half, it had all been worth it.
Teacher was truly amazing.
"Alright, you can leave now. I've been quite busy lately, so there's no need to come every day for greetings. Think about how to change your Martial Soul!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand, dismissing Yu Xiaogang.
"Yes."
Yu Xiaogang respectfully bowed and said:
"Teacher, Teacher's wife, I will take my leave!"
As Yu Xiaogang left the door, he suddenly remembered something. Just as he was about to turn back to ask, he saw Zhou Yi already carrying Liu Erlong…
Yu Xiaogang's body trembled, as if his heart had been stabbed.
But as a disciple, he didn't dare to disturb his Teacher and Teacher's wife. He quickly turned around and left, his heart filled with quiet melancholy.
"Teacher is truly busy!"
