Xue Qinghe thought Bibi Dong had gone mad to agree to such a thing... It must have been Tang San's idea. But why would she agree?
The Pope of Spirit Hall.
Noble, elegant, dignified, and mysterious.
Appearing at the Continental Elite Tournament was unprecedented, but now she was going to negotiate with the emperors of two nations, "pleading for the people"... If it succeeded, it would be commendable. However, if it was all talk and no action, and the money was used to repair the outer city, Spirit Hall would be blamed by the entire continent.
Was Tang San really joining Spirit Hall, or was he trying to create chaos?
"Qinghe, when the Pope of Spirit Hall arrives, I will send you to negotiate. What do you think?" Emperor Xue Ye asked, though his tone was more of a command, leaving no room for dissent.
"Rest assured, Father. I will not fail you," Xue Qinghe replied, bowing respectfully. Inwardly, he wondered how to behave when meeting Bibi Dong... He hoped he wouldn't lose composure. After all, he had to prove himself to that irresponsible mother!
Meanwhile, in Spirit City.
While the major powers were plotting, Tang San was teaching three girls the path of Qi and blood cultivation.
Ning Rongrong, having the weakest physique, could only practice for a short time.
Guang Ling followed.
Xiao Wu was much stronger, having achieved jade-like bones, a robust physique, and possessing true soul bone techniques. She persisted for several hours before becoming exhausted.
Finally, Tang San gently caressed Guang Ling's face, who was still awake due to his special care, and discussed serious matters. "In a few days, the Endless Wind Furnace will be transported to Spirit City. You can study it first. I'll also make time to join you in researching it. If we can replicate its ability to actively absorb the world's energy and maintain an eternal flame, it would be the foundation for soul guide industrial energy. Combined with the Spirit Awakening Stones that absorb and convert energy, it could partially fortify Spirit Hall's foundation."
"No problem. I'm eager to understand how that furnace actively absorbs energy," Guang Ling smiled. "However, it's unrealistic to expect immediate results in developing soul guide power. It will involve principles similar to steam engines, like you mentioned before."
"That's fine. Progress requires innovation. We can't expect to achieve everything overnight," Tang San said seriously, hugging Guang Ling tighter. "Earlier, I neglected you, which made your Qi and blood cultivation lag behind Xiao Wu and Rongrong. You need to catch up, or you'll blame me for not giving you extra training."
"Let's do it. I must catch up to Sister Xiao Wu and Sister Rongrong," Guang Ling replied with equal seriousness.
Tang San teased, "You used to call her Sister Rongrong. Why the sudden change to Sister Rongrong?"
Guang Ling, unbothered, slightly opened her mouth, her cheeks flushing. "Because I came first. She can only be the younger sister."
Let's set aside this intimate night.
The next morning, Tang San taught Ning Rongrong several advanced techniques: Mysterious Heaven Skill, Jade Bone Golden Skin Divine Treasure, Cosmic Meditation Technique, Crane Controlling Dragon Catching, and Carefree Wind Manipulation.
"Such powerful self-created soul skills!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed, quickly covering her mouth in shock, afraid others might hear. Her eyes shone with admiration. "Brother San, you truly created these priceless skills!"
Then, Ning Rongrong shared the Heart Separation Control Technique of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
This technique has five levels: Three Apertures Controlling Heart, Four Apertures Constant Heart, Five Apertures Scattering Heart, Six Apertures Wishful Heart, and Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart.
In simple terms, it's a method to multitask.
Tang San, having practiced multitasking, initially thought it similar to the Heart Separation Control Technique. However, upon seeing it, he recognized its unique value in converting soul power and mental strength, especially aiding mental cultivation. Though less effective than the pre-evolved Cosmic Meditation Technique's Purple Demon Eye, it excelled in mental power division.
"Compared to your self-created soul skills, our Heart Separation Control Technique pales in comparison," Ning Rongrong felt their technique was like a firefly next to the moon, insignificant.
"No, the Heart Separation Control Technique has its advantages. It inspired me. Maybe it can be integrated into the Cosmic Meditation Technique," Tang San considered. "This technique still needs improvement. We can add the first and second apertures and potentially evolve it into eight and nine apertures, corresponding to the human body's nine orifices: two ears, two eyes, two nostrils, mouth, urinary tract, and anal tract."
Thus, both the Cosmic Meditation Technique and the Jade Bone Golden Skin Divine Treasure could be improved simultaneously, achieving two goals at once.
Tang San then began instructing Ning Rongrong in cultivation.
Ning Rongrong had already mastered the Heart Separation Control Technique to the Five Apertures Scattering Heart level. With her naturally high mental strength, she learned quickly, memorizing the Mysterious Heaven Skill's operation method after only a few repetitions.
However, she faced challenges with the Jade Bone Golden Skin Divine Treasure due to its intricate details. Ning Rongrong realized that even if she reached the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart level, it would still be difficult to master in one go. Under Tang San's guidance, she gradually practiced according to her body's condition, developing the technique into a natural reflex.
Two years flew by in the blink of an eye.
Spirit City's outer city was now complete, comprising six interconnected mega-cities:
The City of Forging—Soul Guide Technology City.
Replacing the original Gengxin City, it became the new sacred ground revered by blacksmiths worldwide.
The City of Gastronomy—People's Food Grain City.
Famous for its diverse cuisine, it also served as Spirit Hall's research base for high-yield crops.
The City of Medicine—Pharmaceutical Pill City.
Home to over 60% of the continent's doctors and pharmacists, its residents often had martial souls related to medicine or a strong interest in medical research. The city's pinnacle products were pills, hence its name.
The City of Arts—Fantasy Film City.
Promoting Spirit Hall's ideals through modern arts like sculpture, painting, and film, it guided entertainment development. The city attracted art masters and grandmasters from the two empires. Various art forms, including street performances, murals, sculptures, and movies, were common, though body art was strictly regulated by Spirit Hall's enforcers.
The remaining two cities included Soul Martial City, populated by soul masters with a martial culture, where every street had a duel arena for soul masters to spar and compete. The other city, Economic City, was a modern commercial hub.
Neither Bibi Dong nor Tang San had anticipated that in just two years, the outer city of Spirit City would not only be built but also thrive, generating over a trillion gold soul coins in tax revenue within six months. This success was largely due to Bibi Dong's relentless efforts over the two years, using the funds obtained from the two empires to construct Enlightenment Academies across cities, towns, and villages.
Following Tang San's advice, Bibi Dong transparently disclosed the spending of every gold soul coin borrowed from the empires, posting detailed accounts publicly. Local Spirit Hall branches promoted this transparency, assuring citizens that no funds were embezzled. Any branch head caught embezzling was swiftly punished and replaced.
For the Enlightenment Academies, Spirit Hall often dispatched retiring elder soul masters to teach. These older soul masters, being more amiable and approachable, fostered a closer bond with villagers and children compared to their younger counterparts. The gratitude and respect from the villagers and children provided these elders with emotional fulfillment.
For many elder soul masters, accustomed to the bustling city life, retiring in tranquil villages and small towns was an appealing choice. Unlike the larger family clans in Spirit City concerned with their descendants' future, members of smaller branches typically had small families, with children not necessarily inheriting innate soul power. Different environments and lifestyles led to varied perspectives.
In this nurturing environment, Tang San introduced the "Understanding Your Own Martial Soul" theory, presenting a six-dimensional model to the public:
Strength, Speed, Defense, Energy, Endurance, Special.
This straightforward model shocked countless soul masters and ordinary people alike, who had never imagined such a simple method to understand their martial souls. Besides this, Tang San also strongly advocated for people to capitalize on their martial soul strengths.
