Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Pill Devouring, I am the True Path of the Tang Sect

"Alright, stop joking around. Now that you've learned the Five Treasures Protection Technique, remember to study hard from now on. You must learn the fundamentals of all of this thoroughly."

Although Tang Jiaren is an assassin, his sect is an old one with a long history.

They also knew that cultivating techniques without cultivating the Dao would ultimately be futile; no matter how powerful the methods, it would all be for naught if one's life cultivation could not be improved.

"Now that you have the method of cultivation, I will teach you some self-defense techniques. Our Tang Clan has many techniques."

"But basically every disciple who starts out cultivates from Qi poison. Next, I will tell you about the application and development of Qi poison."

In the following time, Tang Jiaren explained to Qin Qi in detail the cultivation methods of Qi Poison and Poison Barrier, as well as the things that needed to be paid attention to.

Qi poison, as the name suggests, is a toxin formed by the mixture of one's own Qi. In the initial stage, it is necessary to combine it with external medicine for cultivation.

After mastering the basics, one can concoct poisons without external medicine, relying solely on the Qi within the body.

Poison Barrier is another application of Qi Poison, mainly for defense, but weaker in attack and flexibility than Qi Poison.

However, its defensive capabilities are stronger, and its cultivation intensity is comparable to the Golden Light Mantra; in fact, anyone who touches it will be poisoned.

At the same time, it can also take form from qi. It can be said that qi poison is the foundation, and poison barrier is a further development.

"Qi poison is an important offensive method of our Tang Clan, but this method is extremely dangerous. If not handled properly, it can harm both the attacker and the attacker."

"Therefore, other cultivation methods can be practiced with great vigor and diligence, but Qi poison absolutely cannot be cultivated; it must be done slowly!"

"If you act recklessly and greedily, you might be lucky enough to lose a hand or foot or suffer serious injuries, or you might be unlucky enough to die instantly!"

When Tang Jiaren said this, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became extremely serious.

He had seen too many children rush into rapid advancement in their cultivation without adequate protection from the Five Treasures Body Protection Technique.

Those who pursue higher levels of Qi poisoning invariably end up dying from poisoning!

"Ah."

Qin Qi nodded solemnly, keeping Tang Jiaren's words firmly in mind.

Tang Clan's martial arts techniques harm both the user and others; they are purely murderous arts. One must be extremely cautious when using and practicing them!

This applies to myself as well as to others!

In the following time, Tang Jiaren gave a brief introduction to other techniques such as Earth and Wood Flow, Instant Strike, and Whirlwind Step.

But he did not tell Qin Qi the cultivation method.

“Your foundation is still shallow. Learning too many things will only delay you. You should focus on learning the Five Treasures Protection Technique and Qi Poison now.”

"Only with a solid foundation can one make progress in cultivation; one cannot bite off more than one can chew."

Tang Jiaren began to speak.

"Yes, Second Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely not be greedy, or rather, even if I wanted to be greedy, it would be useless."

Qin Qi couldn't help but show his bitterness. Let alone other techniques, he couldn't even practice Qi Poison now.

The initial practice of Qi poisoning requires the assistance of external medicine, but he has no money to buy medicine!

He's not in the Tang Sect of Under One Person now, he's in the damn Douluo Continent, and he's still an orphan who can't even afford to eat!

"Hey, Second Master, could you... maybe make the prescription for the Qi poison a little cheaper?"

Qin Qi tentatively began to speak. He could find a way to extract money if it was a small amount, but if it was too much, he really couldn't do anything about it.

"Has our Tang Clan fallen so low that we can't even gather enough medicinal herbs for our disciples' cultivation?!"

Upon hearing Qin Qi's words, Tang Jiaren's eyes widened in surprise. How many years had it been since he died?

Has the Tang Clan really fallen to this state? That can't be right. When Qin Qi was talking about the situation outside, it wasn't like this.

"The Tang Sect is fine. I've run into a little trouble here. I'm short on money right now and can't ask the sect for any."

"Yes, I've gone abroad and I'm not in the country right now. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Qi wasn't trying to hide the fact that he had transmigrated. Tang Jiaren was already dead, and no one in the other world knew him.

Whether you hide it or not, it's the same. The main problem is that it's troublesome to explain, and older generations don't know what time travel is.

"I understand. Don't underestimate me just because I'm old. I've also studied foreign knowledge."

Tang Jiaren patted his suit. He was different from his junior apprentice Tang Bingwen; he was someone who kept up with the times.

Although he is old in age, he is young at heart and has always been trying to keep up with the times.

"Then can you think of a way to spend as little money as possible?"

Qin Qi spoke up.

"Okay, simple. I'll write you a prescription. Just follow the prescription and get the medicine. That should be enough for you to get started."

Tang Jiaren was skilled in both poisons and medicines, and soon wrote down a list. His knowledge of toxicity was lacking, but it was sufficient for beginners.

And it's very cheap, the medicinal herbs are very common, if you really can't afford to buy them, just go outside and pick them in the wild.

"Thank you, Second Grandfather! I will definitely cultivate diligently!"

"Second Grandfather, I don't have time now, I have to go. I'll come back tomorrow to continue my studies with you!"

Qin Qi had used up all his time in the study space; a day had passed in the blink of an eye.

After he finished speaking with Tang Jiaren, he was immediately kicked out of the study space and returned to the real world.

After a day in the learning space, Qin Qi returned to the outside world.

"Phew, my cultivation level is still intact."

Qin Qi first checked the five elements in his body, and the Five Treasures Protective Technique he had cultivated was still active.

"By the way, didn't the system previously warn me that these invisible bubbles were Dan Shi?"

Qin Qi reached out to try and condense the Pill Devourer, but failed. It seemed he could only condense it once a day.

But if it really is a pill-eating poison, then one time is enough to be fatal; as long as you come into contact with it, you will definitely die!

"Forget it, I'll test it on a small animal later. If it really is a Dan Shi, then I'm not eating beef anymore."

Qin Qi put this matter aside for the time being and began to recall the Qi poison auxiliary prescription he had memorized.

After reciting it once and confirming that there were no problems, he began to inquire about these medicinal herbs in the village.

It's okay if they don't know the names; Qin Qi described what the medicinal herbs looked like.

These are all poisonous medicinal herbs. If anyone has them, give them to Qin Qi directly. If not, tell Qin Qi where you found them.

Qin Qi went to that place to collect the herbs himself, inquired around, and obtained some medicinal materials, but there was still a lot to be lacking.

However, when Qin Qi reached the village chief's door, he was stopped and the village chief pulled him inside.

After explaining the work-study student quota, the village chief decided to send Qin Qi to Notting College.

Qin Qi naturally agreed. The village chief set a time and told Qin Qi to come and find him when the time came.

Before leaving, the village chief gave Qin Qi two steamed buns. They weren't good stuff, but they could fill his stomach.

"Thank you, village chief. When I make a lot of money in the future, I'll give you two thousand cornbreads in return!"

Qin Qi spoke with utmost sincerity.

"Get lost! You've made a fortune and you're still feeding me cornbread? At least give me a chicken leg!"

The village chief angrily chased Qin Qi away with a broom. He wondered if the kid was good at talking or not.

He makes people angry as soon as he opens his mouth.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

Chapter 4: We can't even afford to eat, what's the point of talking about rules!

In the days following his martial soul awakening, Qin Qi practiced both in the learning space and outside.

The Qi cultivated through the Five Treasures Protective Technique is equivalent to soul power. Despite continuous study over the past few days, his soul power has reached a point where it can no longer be increased.

There's no way to test his soul power right now, but Qin Qi guesses he's probably already reached level ten.

To continue improving, you must acquire a Soul Ring.

Regarding the collection of Qi poison herbs, we have collected quite a few in the past few days, but there are still a few herbs that we haven't found.

But the day to go to Nottingham had arrived, so Qin Qi could only try to buy the remaining medicinal herbs there.

Qin Qi and the village chief traveled to Nottingham City by carriage.

"Village chief, could you lend me some money? I promise I'll pay you back when I become successful."

Qin Qi wanted to borrow some money from the village chief to buy the missing medicinal herbs from the pharmacy.

"If you're not fully awake, sleep a little longer. We're still a long way from Nottingham."

The village chief looked at Qin Qi with a "you think you're going to eat shit" expression. "If you're hungry, I can give you some food, but I don't have any money!"

"Alas, even a hero can be brought down by a penny."

Qin Qi did not complain about the village chief. The village chief was already taking good care of him, even though they were not related. He should thank the village chief.

"You're no hero, you're just a little kid."

"But don't worry, when you go to Notting Academy, you can not only study, but you can also work. I heard that you get ten copper soul coins every day."

The village chief spoke first.

"Hey."

Qin Qi sighed. He was really getting impatient; he hadn't even learned a single attack technique yet.

Fighting with people can only be done hand-to-hand; this doesn't seem like the behavior of an assassin or killer, nor does it seem like the behavior of a Tang Clan disciple.

It's embarrassing for anyone to see.

......................................................

Upon arriving at Notting College, they encountered guards at the entrance. The guards did not give them any trouble; they simply asked routine questions to verify their identities before letting them in.

After having his soul power tested by a teacher, registering his name, and receiving his school uniform, Qin Qi officially became a work-study student at Notting Academy.

"Study hard and become a successful Soul Master in the future!"
