Chapter 2 Bibi Dong's Frustration
However, Qin Xu was still categorized into the same type of person by both Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.
If you lack the ability, then use your wisdom to earn the respect of others.
However, when she recalled the limit on the number of years a Soul Master could absorb Soul Rings as described in the "Ten Core Competencies" book, she became somewhat irritable again.
Once Qin Xu publishes his theoretical research, the entire Soul Master world will likely be in an uproar.
Perhaps Qin Xu will soon be known as a "master", and the reputation of the number one theoretical master of the Soul Master world, who has devoted himself to his studies for many years, will crumble in an instant.
"For your safety, you cannot enter the Spirit Hall for the time being." Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment.
"I also have a piece of advice for you: it's best to stay away from Heaven Dou City for the next six years. Even if you have any ideas, keep your mouth shut... However, I can make the decision to appoint you as an honorary elder of my Spirit Hall."
Qin Xu was overjoyed; it was good that he didn't join the Spirit Hall.
He didn't even want to publicly share his theories.
Publicizing his theories was secondary to his reputation. The main concern was that all the major powers coveted his secrets. Being so coveted meant the loss of his freedom.
At the same time, the position of honorary elder of the Spirit Hall can also save one from some unnecessary trouble.
Immediately afterwards, Bibi Dong's voice hovered in my ears again: "As for your acupuncture technique, I am willing to exchange it for a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, but for ten years, you cannot sell the medicine formula to outsiders. Of course, you can still use it on the people around you."
Bibi Dong held a deep and heartfelt respect for theoretical masters.
Of course, a hint of irritation and murderous intent did arise in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed.
That wretched creature was getting quite close to Qin Xu, and she was eager to see how things would develop.
If an angel and a mortal could be paired up, I wonder if it would destroy the talent that the angels cherish so much?
A Soul Master's talent originates from their parents; generally, the higher the parents' talent and strength, the higher their children's talent will be. This is especially true after a Soul Master breaks through to the Soul Saint realm and condenses their Martial Soul True Form, resulting in children with the best talent.
That disgusting name, from the moment she appointed herself a saint, she regarded her as the mother of geniuses.
Otherwise, how could she possibly become the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, a family that has been passed down for generations?
What drove her to madness with jealousy was that Qian Xunji, who had raped her, actually obtained an unprecedented level 20 innate genius.
As a result, the Qian family got everything they wanted, and even Qian Xunji was laughing wildly before his death.
That laughter still lingers in her mind to this day.
The offering was smiling, the elders were smiling, and even that old bastard Qian Daoliu was smiling.
Even now, she is plagued by nightmares every night, dreaming of those mocking laughs that originate from the depths of her heart.
So much so that I can only constantly recall the beautiful memories of the past as an anchor for my soul.
The more talented that bastard child was, the deeper the scars in her heart became. It was as if that man was mocking her relentlessly.
Therefore, if Qian Renxue cannot inherit the angelic legacy, and the next generation is a useless person, then her revenge will be completely complete.
Hearing this, Qin Xu felt somewhat uneasy.
Predatory lattice doors.
This is abnormal, abnormal, extremely abnormal.
He offered the Golden Needle Transmission Body Tempering Method as a reward, and the other party offered him a ten-thousand-year soul bone, which he understood.
But now the situation has changed. I didn't make any voluntary contribution.
The title of honorary elder is merely a nominal one. The fact that Yu Xiaogang, who is "famous throughout the continent," can be an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall shows its "value."
In other words, whatever the other party gives you, you never even think about bargaining.
Give him his soul bone, or one that lasts for ten thousand years?
So they really want to use him to settle scores?
The Spirit Hall openly offered a spirit bone as a reward, then had some elders attack him, causing him to "explode gold coins" before taking them back.
"Don't worry."
Seemingly sensing Qin Xu's thoughts, Bibi Dong said calmly, "That person holds a very special position in the Spirit Hall."
As for the matter of the soul bone, it is my own wish.
"The 'Golden Needle Body Tempering Method' wasn't leaked by her either; she said she'd give you some compensation later..."
Bibi Dong was happy to let Qin Xu and that golden-haired man have more entanglements, and naturally she wouldn't let Qin Xu develop any ill feelings towards Qian Renxue.
Qin Xu was in a daze. As his expression relaxed, a jumble of thoughts arose in his mind.
That guy's background is actually the Spirit Hall?
And the Spirit Hall even has rice noodles!
As a result, his goodwill towards the Pope increased significantly, and he even gained the approval of Qin Xu's 60-point good woman.
The Soul Bone is considered a treasure of the Blood River.
Even a titled Douluo would covet a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone; it's extremely rare and hard to come by.
"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope."
"No need for such formalities. Your research is groundbreaking, and countless Soul Masters will benefit from it. It is completely comparable to Master Yu Xiaogang's 'Ten Competitive Advantages of Martial Souls'." Bibi Dong's tone was complicated as she reached out and took out an Elder's Token.
Qin Xu's face darkened. Although the master had a prestigious reputation, he didn't have a good impression of him.
Although he calls himself a master of theory, the accuracy of his theories is questionable.
"It's nothing, it's just a useless person like me trying to redeem myself..."
"Your Holiness, your talent for cultivation is astonishing, and I admire it greatly. But if I were that 'Horn of Wisdom,' why would I be so preoccupied with my talent? What a pity about Yu Xiaogang," Qin Xu said.
"What a pity?" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.
In terms of talent, Yu Xiaogang's talent is average. Although that farting pig is quite cute, it is also the source of Xiaogang's ridicule. Why is it a pity?
"A noble family background, abundant cultivation resources, a rather special martial soul, and friends who can perform martial soul fusion techniques—it's just that this person is too cowardly; on his wedding night, he abandoned his cousin..." Qin Xu shook his head...
"As a person of high status, I have some contempt for him."
Qin Xu wouldn't casually criticize others behind their backs if it were just anyone, but his old friend had messed up his soul ring absorption because he mistakenly believed Yu Xiaogang's theory, so he naturally chirped a little.
Bibi Dong's expression darkened slightly, and a hint of killing intent surged deep in her eyes.
But when he thought of Yu Xiaogang's departure and his marriage to Liu Erlong, and his repeated escapes, his anger subsided somewhat. However, a filter quickly rose in his heart, and he said coldly.
"Cowardly? Alright, Elder Qin, you should talk about your own affairs. It's best to refrain from gossiping about others behind their backs."
She was naturally unhappy to hear Qin Xu belittle Yu Xiaogang.
Although Qin Xu was a theoretical master who broke free from his own constraints, Bibi Dong did not think that Yu Xiaogang was inferior to Qin Xu.
Yu Xiaogang's martial soul is not the weak Blue Silver Grass; the reason his martial soul is difficult to cultivate is due to a malignant mutation.
If a martial soul is weak, it can still strengthen its origin and absorb soul rings to improve its quality. However, malignant mutations are a different story.
In her view, the man was a man of great talent who had not yet found his place, and he was extremely intelligent. His research and understanding of soul beasts and martial souls were solid and accurate, and his knowledge was extensive and profound.
The only thing missing is a stage to showcase one's talents.
Of course, Bibi Dong did not mean to belittle Qin Xu in the slightest. On the contrary, she felt that Qin Xu could become an assistant and even a confidant to Yu Xiaogang in his theoretical research.
She even believed that with Yu Xiaogang's help, Qin Xu might be able to break through the shackles of his martial soul!
"Yes."
Qin Xu could not possibly imagine that Yu Xiaogang could be related to Bibi Dong. Even if he had any guesses, they were dismissed by the vast difference in their status.
Before his transmigration, he was a key researcher in a biological research field in China, possessing the family's traditional Meridian Medicine skills. He was over thirty years old, a graduate of a prestigious university, and had a bright future ahead of him.
As for the novel, I haven't read it at all!
At the victory celebration banquet, he drank too much and ended up time-traveling.
He felt a sense of familiarity with Douluo Continent, and vaguely remembered that his cousin loved to shout "Resurrect, my love!"
And then there was the kid downstairs whose 100-year-old grandfather died, and who was clamoring to absorb a 100-year-old soul ring at the funeral, which gave him a little understanding of Douluo Continent.
Apart from that, I know nothing.
However, after twenty-three years in Douluo Continent, although his talents were average, the strange customs and magical spirit beasts of this world deeply attracted him.
This world is epic and magnificent, full of excitement and adventure. He yearns for freedom and craves power. In these twenty-three years, apart from some dangers, he has lived a life of unparalleled satisfaction.
They have high hopes for the future.
As for Bibi Dong, her feelings were quite complicated.
Qin Xu called himself "useless," but his tone was completely different from that other person's.
Looking at the unrestrained and humble Qin Ruins, Bibi Dong felt particularly annoyed.
Why is it that, even though she has already obtained everything that man pursued—fame, status, and could easily gain the world's recognition—she still looks down on him?
Shouldn't you be proud and honored?
Was that man's pursuit really so cheap?
Why?
Why should I?!
"Qin Xu, I hope you can go to Notting Academy in Notting City. You might meet someone there who shares your language. He is an absolute master of theory..." Bibi Dong lowered her head, the shadow covering most of her face.
"Um?"
Qin Xu's research into martial spirit theory was merely an attempt to save himself; his true dream was to gain immense power and find a way to break free from the shackles of his own potential.
However, if you can travel across the mainland during this process, witness many wonderful things, and meet all sorts of interesting people, that would be great too.
He nodded slightly and replied with a "Okay".
"In addition, we can exchange letters more often. I am very interested in your research," Bibi Dong said with a hint of anticipation in her voice.
She felt that if Qin Xu met Yu Xiaogang, he would definitely change his opinion.
Yu Xiaogang's golden qualities will surely be seen.
Instead of speaking well of Xiaogang behind his back, it would be better to let Qin Xu personally witness the true master of theory.
If Qin Xu and Xiao Gang could become close friends, she would be showing Qin Xu a clear path, and she could also learn about Xiao Gang's situation and life through Qin Xu.
Qin Xu isn't that old. If Qin Xu is convinced by Yu Xiaogang's theories and is willing to become Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, that would be even better.
In Bibi Dong's view
Xiao Gang is currently in a special period where few people trust his theories. If a theoretical master who trusts him were to appear, it would certainly improve his mental state.
…………
A month later.
Qin Xu arrived at that remote town bordering the desert.
P.S.: I'll be heading out to recruit apprentices right away.
