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

"I heard you say before that you used Qi cultivation techniques to directly increase your soul power. At that time, I also thought that so-called soul power was real."

"It's another name for the Qi in the world you're in right now."

"But as I got to know you better and observed you more closely, I discovered that soul power and qi are not the same thing!"

Tang Jiaren's expression turned serious. The concept of Qi was vague, and this was a huge problem.

This could pose a huge hidden danger that could destabilize the foundation, so he had to explain the matter to Qin Qi.

"I'm listening, please continue."

Qin Qi sat cross-legged in front of Tang Jiaren, his expression turning serious, and he began to speak.

“In our world, there is no such thing as high or low Qi; what we are talking about is the level of one’s cultivation of life force.”

"What is called fate is all tangible things; all visible life forms belong to fate."

“And everything that is invisible but truly exists, such as the soul, Qi, and spiritual will, all belong to sex.”

"In the sects of our world, the so-called Qi cultivation is about refining one's life force!"

“We never talk about how much Qi there is in isolation, but only about how high one’s cultivation level is.”

Do you understand what I mean?

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi and asked.

"Hmm...I understand."

"The cultivation of Qi is essentially the cultivation of life and nature; it is the sum of the body, soul, Qi, and will."

"Soul power, on the other hand, is simply a name for energy; it doesn't encompass anything else!"

Qin Qi nodded; he understood the difference between refining Qi and soul power.

"That's right, the Qi we cultivate is the condensation of spirit, energy, and vital energy."

"The soul power mentioned in this world seems to be just simple energy, or more directly, the qi in essence, energy, and spirit."

Worried that Qin Qi might make a mistake, Tang Jiaren specially wrote the characters "Qi" and "Qi" in his spatial storage.

Qi and Qi are two separate characters, referring to two different things. Qi is not the traditional Chinese character for Qi.

"I see!"

Qin Qi suddenly realized something: why it was so easy for him to absorb the five-hundred-year-old Mandala Serpent before.

So it's because when I practiced Qi, both my body and soul were elevated at the same time.

Under the same soul power conditions, his physical strength and mental strength far surpass those of other soul masters!

In the following time, Qin Qi and Tang Jiaren discussed many things, completely distinguishing between Qi and soul power.

Furthermore, they re-analyzed Qin Qi's strengths and weaknesses, and formulated a subsequent cultivation plan.

"Your practice of Qi has several advantages over cultivating soul power."

"First, your physical body, soul, and Qi will all increase simultaneously, without any weaknesses."

"Secondly, because of the strength of your physical body, the lifespan of the spirit rings you can absorb will also increase."

"Third, at the same level, your Qi is far superior to other people's soul power in both quality and quantity."

"However, this has some drawbacks, because you are simultaneously improving your physical body, soul, and Qi."

"Therefore, the speed at which you cultivate will take much longer than cultivating soul power alone."

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi as he spoke.

"That's no problem. I don't have much, except for plenty of time and good talent."

Qin Qi smiled. Although it would take him more time than others, he had a cheat code!

The various talent attributes that Tang Jiaren had accumulated previously made his Qi cultivation speed twice that of others!

With the added study space, he can make one day feel like two or three days, so he has no shortage of time.

"Well, then comes the subsequent cultivation. There are no special techniques for honing one's life force among Soul Masters."

“But we in the Tang Clan have it, and I will teach it to you later.”

"Life not only needs to be cherished, but also needs to be tempered. Only a well-tempered life can be resilient and strong!"

Tang Jiaren spoke up.

"I understand. Cotton and iron of the same volume have different strengths, and iron and steel forged through repeated hammering also have different strengths."

Qin Qi nodded. In his understanding, protecting one's life was like eating; only by eating more can one grow stronger.

However, simply eating without exercising will only result in gaining fat.

Only by eating well (protecting your life) and exercising properly (strengthening your life) can you eventually become strong!

"Well, you've studied for quite a while today. You should go and rest and digest this knowledge."

"I will begin teaching you the Tang Clan's Instant Strike and Whirlwind Step techniques tomorrow."

Tang Jiaren nodded with satisfaction as he watched Qin Qi studying diligently, and then told Qin Qi to go and rest.

"Then I'll be going now, Second Grandfather. Bye-bye."

After saying goodbye, Qin Qi left the study space. He needed to digest what he had learned that day.

Back in the real world, Qin Qi saw Tang San cultivating not far away.

"Ah, having a reliable teacher is really important."

Qin Qi looked at Tang San and remembered the time later when Grandmaster made Tang San and the others run while carrying stones.

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

The next morning, everyone went to class as usual. At lunchtime, Teacher Zhao found Qin Qi.

"The principal is planning a sparring competition among Soul Master academies. Would you like to participate?"

Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi and asked.

"A sparring match between Soul Master academies?"

"What kind of sparring are we doing? We're a junior Soul Master academy."

Qin Qi was both amused and exasperated. Most of the students at their primary Soul Master Academy were children without Soul Rings.

They're just arguing.

"Yes, it's the Junior Soul Master Academy Tournament, where the principal invites academies from several surrounding cities to compete against each other."

Teacher Zhao's expression was also a little unnatural; to be honest, she also felt that the principal was joking.

"Wait... does the principal know about Xiaowu and Xiaosan?"

Qin Qigang wanted to continue complaining, but suddenly thought of something and tentatively asked.

"Ah."

Teacher Zhao nodded awkwardly.

"The principal is really cunning; that old guy is incredibly shrewd!"

"The principal is really brilliant to send a few Soul Masters to fight Soul Warriors who don't even have Soul Rings yet!"

Qin Qi couldn't help but laugh. It was really because of this plate of vinegar that he started making dumplings.

"Although it's not good for the principal to do this, it will effectively enhance the reputation of our Nottingham Academy."

"It's good for the development of the college. Yes, the principal is thinking about the school."

When Teacher Zhao spoke, she couldn't help but lower her head and her voice became softer; she herself felt embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, the principal is the principal after all."

“I signed up, but I remember that after we won, the principal gave us some scholarships.”

"Don't just give a few words of praise and call it a day."

Qin Qi admired the principal's wisdom and then agreed, confident that he would win.

The only question is what kind of reward the principal will give us after we win this competition.

"Of course there is. The principal, together with other colleges, contributed a lot of money this time."

Teacher Zhao spoke up.

"High, so high and deep!"

Qin Qi gave the principal a thumbs up. Although it seemed like several colleges were vying for the prize money, the decision had actually already been made.

Qin Qi refused to believe that there were monsters in the nearby cities who were already level 20 at the age of six.

The advantage is in my hands; victory is assured!

Chapter 36 Refining Pills with Whale Glue, Tang Sect's Instant Strike!

After dinner, Qin Qi asked Teacher Zhao to take him to the dean, and then, after Teacher Zhao's persistent persuasion...

Qin Qi successfully obtained an advance on part of his bonus from the principal, and then used it to buy medicine.

While buying medicine at the pharmacy, Qin Qi suddenly saw something and, after asking about it, discovered that it was actually whale glue.

"I remember this thing should be a highly nourishing medicinal herb that can improve physical fitness and the lifespan of spirit ring absorption, right?"

Qin Qi thought about it and bought it. At this time, whale glue was not expensive, since no one had discovered its uses yet.

After buying the herbs, Qin Qi bought some other medicinal herbs and left. As he left, the pharmacy clerks all looked at him with strange eyes.

"Buying this kind of thing at such a young age!"

"Sigh, we just don't understand the world of the rich."

"The Soul Master is really playing fancy tricks."

The crowd whispered among themselves.

After Qin Qi left, he put the whale glue into his learning space and then entered the learning space himself.

He showed the whale glue to Tang Jiaren and explained its uses.
