Douluo Continent: The Legend of the Gods

Chapter 19 Unexpected Talent

The next morning, before dawn, Yun Qinglin was already standing by the Star Abyss Pool.

Wang Xian'er was asking him about the news from Qinglin Hall yesterday.

Yun Qinglin briefly recounted what had happened yesterday. Wang Xian'er listened without saying anything, only nodding.

After a while, she spoke up: "Qinglin, give me a copy of your prescriptions later."

Yun Qinglin was stunned for a moment.

"I've also seen Mu Ping's manuscripts," Wang Xian'er said. "Her writing is not bad, but some of the prescriptions can be modified. Since you said your mother left behind some medical traditions and modified the prescriptions, let me take a look as well."

Yun Qinglin attributed his medical skills to his mother's belongings, and Wang Xian'er did not doubt it after hearing this.

Yun Qinglin responded.

He hadn't expected his teacher to ask for his prescription, but then he thought it was only right.

Mu Ping lived more than two thousand years ago; no matter how good her prescriptions are, they are still from two thousand years ago.

Wang Xian'er is a Healing Immortal Douluo who has lived for over two hundred years. She has treated more patients than she has ever seen. She is not just a healing-type Soul Master who only uses Soul Skills; she has genuinely and diligently researched various diseases.

She wanted to see his prescriptions, not because she didn't trust them, but because she wanted to help him figure out which ones were usable and which ones needed to be modified.

After the morning treatment session, he handed her the prescription he had written down from memory.

Wang Xian'er took it but didn't look at it immediately. She just said, "You're going to Gu Qinghong's place this afternoon, right? I'll let you know if I have any opinions after I've read these. Don't push yourself too hard; you need to relax sometimes."

She had also seen Yun Qinglin's condition last week; the six-year-old child had too much to study.

"Teacher, yesterday afternoon was a great time for me to relax, don't worry," Yun Qinglin said with a smile.

"As long as you know what's good for you, don't try to handle things on your own. Remember to talk to your teacher."

"Got it!" Yun Qinglin waved and ran towards the cafeteria, angry that he was late.

"This child..." Wang Xian'er said with amusement. Spending time with Jiu Jiu has made her more lively. It seems that Xu Jiawei really has some foresight.

He met Xu Jiujiu in the cafeteria. She sat down with her tray and her first words were, "Are you going to the library again this afternoon?"

Yun Qinglin shook his head: "I'm not going. I've finished reading the manuscript and almost finished reading the Encyclopedia of Soul Beasts. I want to go to Elder Gu's place this afternoon to practice the basics of soul tools as soon as possible, and borrow some books from the library tonight to read."

After a long while, she chewed on her chopsticks, tilting her head to look at him: "You finished reading it so quickly? That manuscript is so thick."

"I watch it at night too."

After a long silence, her eyes revealed a hint of resentment at your expression, and she tapped her chopsticks lightly on the rim of her bowl: "Then I'll go this afternoon too."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to learn production?" Yun Qinglin couldn't help but laugh out loud; Jiu Jiu still had a childlike side sometimes.

"I don't want to." After a long while, she put down her chopsticks, rested her chin on her hand, and said, "I just want to learn how to use it, not how to do it."

"Those metal shells and core magic arrays sound complicated." She paused, glanced at Yun Qinglin, "But it doesn't feel right for you to go and learn by yourself while I go to the library to read books, even though I was the one who told you about soul tools first."

Yun Qinglin shrugged: "So you were infected by me?"

"I guess so." Xu Jiujiu smiled and picked up her chopsticks again. "Anyway, whether Master Gu teaches one or two, it's still the same. If I can't learn it, I'll just consider it as me accompanying you."

"Don't worry, you'll definitely learn it. You're the most outstanding genius in your royal family."

After a long while, her face flushed red, and she lowered her head to eat a couple of mouthfuls of rice.

It was something I usually brag about, but when he repeated it so seriously, it became embarrassing.

She mumbled something, but her voice was too soft for Yun Qinglin to hear. He only noticed that the tips of her ears were red and that she was eating her rice much faster than usual.

In the afternoon, the two went to Gu Qinghong's laboratory.

Although it's called a laboratory, it's actually a separate small building located deep within the Soul Guidance Department of the Star Luo Royal Academy. There's not much decoration at the entrance, only a bronze plaque engraved with the words "Soul Guidance Device Research".

Gu Qinghong's other identity is the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Xingluo Royal Academy.

However, he had a leisurely job as dean. He delegated most of the affairs of the Soul Guidance Department to his subordinates, and only took on a few students, spending his days locked in the laboratory researching his soul guidance devices.

When Yun Qinglin walked in, Gu Qinghong was standing in front of the long table, holding the Spirit Rhinoceros Ruler, seemingly observing the inside of the soul tool in front of him.

The markings on the ruler shimmered in the light, and his eyes narrowed to slits, as focused as if he were performing some kind of precise surgery.

"You're here?" He didn't even look up, his voice indifferent.

"Old Master Gu," Yun Qinglin and Xu Jiujiu called out at the same time.

"Take a look at this soul tool," Gu Qinghong beckoned the two over.

Yun Qinglin and the other person went closer. The craftsmanship of this soul tool seemed to be more exquisite than the ones he had seen before.

It was a short, thick metal tube, entirely silver-gray, with fine spiral patterns on its surface. The end was slightly thicker, with a dark red crystal embedded in it. The outer shell was polished extremely smooth, and the joints were perfectly sealed.

He used the innate domain of his martial spirit to probe inside, and the intricate precision of the core array inside made him dizzy. He quickly withdrew his mental energy.

Gu Qinghong glanced at him with some surprise. He had clearly felt a fluctuation of mental energy just now. It seemed that this kid had a good talent for mental energy. The Emerald Swan actually enhanced mental energy.

"It came from the Sun Moon Empire, it was smuggled," Gu Qinghong introduced. "A level seven long-range soul-guided cannon, made by Mingde Hall."

"The craftsmanship of the Sun Moon Empire is far more refined than ours. Let me show you so you can have a general idea and know which direction to take in the future. Our Star Luo's soul tools are still far behind."

Mr. Gu looked like a rather serious teacher, and the two nodded obediently.

He turned around, took out two palm-sized round metal pieces and a small piece of dark blue core blank from the drawer, placed them on the table, and then took out two sets of carving knives and arranged them.

"Qinglin, you've laid a solid foundation. Today, try inscribing a level one core magic array."

He pointed to the open booklet on the table, "The core array diagram of the first-level soul guide ray. Memorize it and then try to replicate it."

Then he took a few pieces of iron and copper from the shelf and placed them in front of Xu Jiujiu.

"Jiujiu, you continue making the outer shell. We'll start learning the next step once we've made a usable shell."

Yun Qinglin sat down at an empty table and turned to the diagram of the first-level soul-guided ray in the booklet.

The diagram is not complicated, with one main circuit and three branches, and the pattern is clear.

He went through the magic circle diagram in his mind, making sure he remembered every detail, before picking up the carving knife.

The innate ability of the Heavenly Pivot was quietly activated.

He compressed his mental energy into an area the size of a fist in front of him, and his mind became exceptionally clear. The core magic array in front of him was completely imprinted in his mind.

Elder Gu was clearly worried that since it was his first time inscribing the core array, he had already carved out the approximate shape of the array, and he only needed to complete a few key steps.

"It doesn't seem to be too difficult for me..." Yun Qinglin carefully sensed it and confirmed that his mental detection was more helpful in making the soul tool than he had imagined, so he prepared to get started.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. He had always thought that the talent of the Heavenly Pivot was mental detection, but when he made his move, another path appeared in his mind, which seemed to make this core magic array more perfect.
