Li Xun's heart stirred, and he quickly bowed: "Li Xun, paying respects to my teacher."
His Martial Soul was unique, and no one else could really teach him anything.
Now that Ning Fengzhi wanted to take him as a disciple, he was naturally pleased to strengthen their relationship.
Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly. After Li Xun performed the disciple's bow, he stepped forward and gently helped Li Xun up.
He examined him carefully.
"Xiao Xun, from now on, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be your home. I'll first arrange a place for you to stay."
After saying this,
Ning Fengzhi nodded to Chen Xin and Gu Rong, then strode out of the hall.
Li Xun bowed to the two Titled Douluos and quickly followed Ning Fengzhi's steps.
Watching their retreating figures, Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged glances.
"This child's behavior and mannerisms are not typical for his age."
Gu Rong nodded in agreement: "Indeed, he is precocious. But since Fengzhi sees no issue with it, it should be fine."
"Moreover, it's time for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to start considering the next generation."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was powerful, with a total of about five thousand members.
There were residences of various levels.
What surprised Li Xun was that Ning Fengzhi arranged for him to stay directly across from his own residence.
"Young master, the hot water is ready."
The speaker was a gentle woman in her forties, named Xue Mei.
She had been sent by Ning Fengzhi two days ago to take care of Li Xun's daily needs.
"Alright, Aunt Xue, I can manage on my own." Li Xun dismissed Aunt Xue, who had intended to help him wash.
But not long after,
Aunt Xue suddenly returned.
This startled him, and he quickly covered his vital areas.
However, Aunt Xue had only come to deliver some items before leaving again.
Causing Li Xun to worry for nothing.
"Becoming Ning Fengzhi's disciple really comes with good treatment."
Li Xun leaned back, comfortably soaking in the hot bath.
He washed himself thoroughly, then went to pick up the silk clothes on the table.
On top of the clothes was a delicate gold-threaded bracelet.
Li Xun carefully picked it up and examined it: "This gift from my teacher is too generous."
The gold-threaded bracelet was a Storage Soul Tool.
Inside it were also a hundred Gold Soul Coins.
At this time, Soul Guiding Devices were not as common as they would be in the future.
Every time a Storage Soul Tool appeared, it would attract a crowd of people vying for it, and the price could skyrocket to tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins.
From this item alone, one could see how much Ning Fengzhi valued him.
"It seems that choosing to reveal my twin Martial Souls was the right decision."
Li Xun looked at the gold-threaded bracelet firmly attached to his wrist, feeling a sense of gratitude.
Having a wealthy and influential teacher was truly great; everything was taken care of without him having to worry.
After tidying up a bit, Li Xun sipped a small amount of porridge.
Although Wood Release replenished his body, it had been weak for a long time, so it was not suitable to eat too much at once. He needed to slowly recover.
After the meal, Li Xun began to study his current state.
"The Soul Power cultivation method draws energy from the outside world, which doesn't conflict with the extraction of Spiritual Energy within the body."
Entering a meditative state, Li Xun could clearly feel a free-flowing energy in the world.
When this energy entered his body,
Li Xun slowly opened his eyes: "However, the two energies are intertwined yet distinct, and Soul Power seems to slightly overshadow Spiritual Energy."
"This might be due to the suppression of the world's rules, trying to merge the two energies into one."
Spiritual Energy, unlike the orthodox Taoist internal skill Mysterious Heavenly Skill, which is balanced and harmonious, and can smoothly integrate with various types of energy, is more like an invasive species that requires time to settle.
Li Xun wasn't opposed to this.
If he solely relied on Spiritual Energy, even if he cultivated to the level of Hashirama Senju, he would only have a lifespan of a hundred years.
After a hundred years, no matter how strong he was, he would just be a handful of dust.
Now, with Soul Power enhancing his life level, it was considered a good thing.
"My ability to control Wood Release is still intact, but I have too little Spiritual Energy and it's not stable enough to quickly grow the seeds of life. I might need the power of this world as an aid to unleash the true potential of Wood Release."
The trees controlled by Wood Release are not actually summoned.
They are grown from seeds in the ground or seeds of life created by the user's Bloodline Limit and Spiritual Energy.
The stronger the user's power, the more seeds of life they can create and the faster they grow, and vice versa.
"It seems that my first Spirit Ring should be of a type that can scatter seeds, like a dandelion.
This would reduce the consumption of creating seeds of life and expand the range of the technique."
"For the second Spirit Ring, I should choose a Soul Beast with a rapid growth ability to speed up the growth of trees."
The latest novel is first published on 69shuba!
"In battle, I can deploy the skills of the first and second Spirit Rings, then use Wood Release for control," Li Xun pondered.
According to his idea, the first Soul Skill would be for sowing, the second for enhancing the quality of the seeds, using Spiritual Energy as fertilizer, so that the two powers complement each other.
"Actually, Tang San could develop this way too. Breeding grass types is naturally abundant and grows quickly. If deployed, it shouldn't be much worse than a domain."
"The first two Spirit Rings have low age limits, so choosing attack-type Spirit Rings doesn't really offer much benefit.
Both Tang San and I are transmigrators, with our own attack methods. Before level 30, battles shouldn't be too strenuous."
Li Xun suddenly thought of the man who became famous in the Douluo Continent for his theories.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
After taking Tang San as his disciple, Grandmaster analyzed and suggested adding toughness and toxicity to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
However, the Spirit Rings they hunted for Tang San were entirely based on luck, either a ten-year bamboo or a snake, which Tang San killed himself.
Li Xun couldn't help but marvel at the variability of Grandmaster's theories.
If it weren't for Tang San's numerous opportunities, his Blue Silver Emperor would probably have been ruined.
"Hmm, I remember Tang San seemed to have been discouraged during a competition, but was eventually persuaded to continue."
If Li Xun were to assign Spirit Rings to Tang San, the first two would definitely be for passive enhancements to future potential.
At the very least, the second Spirit Ring could be for entanglement.
In battle, deploying Blue Silver Grass and choosing some control-type Spirit Rings for assistance would likely be stronger than simple entanglement.
Of course, his own Spirit Ring setup might not be entirely correct, but adhering to the principle of firepower coverage is not wrong.
Dispelling his thoughts, Li Xun began to enter a state of cultivation.
He needed to cultivate two types of power, which was far more difficult than the orthodox Taoist Mysterious Heavenly Skill that Tang San possessed.
Tang San only needed to circulate his technique to absorb the energy of heaven and earth for his own use.
But Li Xun had to cultivate separately.
The Distraction Control Method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was something he couldn't easily ask for now. Without putting in some hard work, not only would becoming a god be difficult, but catching up to Tang San would be tough.
Over the next ten days, Li Xun stayed in his residence, focusing on recuperating and cultivating.
Thanks to the nourishment of Wood Release and a carefully planned diet, his body recovered quickly.
His once sallow complexion gradually regained some color.
A few days ago, Ning Fengzhi had come to visit him, intending to take him and Ning Rongrong to hunt for Spirit Rings.
However, Li Xun declined.
The maximum age of a Spirit Ring a Spirit Master can bear is closely related to their physical condition.
Due to age and other factors, the limit for the first Spirit Ring a Spirit Master can absorb is around four hundred years.
Li Xun's body was still too depleted to reach the level where he could absorb a maximum Spirit Ring.
Not to mention, he aspired to surpass this limit.
Possessing the Bloodline Limit of Wood Release, his self-healing ability was strong. Li Xun estimated t
hat absorbing a five-hundred-year Spirit Ring shouldn't be a problem.
Even if there were some risks, they likely wouldn't be fatal.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just as Li Xun was deep in his cultivation, a crisp knocking sound echoed through the room.
