[Ding] [You obtained the Soul Harmonization Method.] [The Soul Harmonization Method: The body and soul of living beings are made up of Yin and Yang. Generally speaking, they will have more Yin or Yang depending on their gender, with men having more Yang and women having more Yin. However, our soul differs from our body, necessitating a balance between the two to create true harmony, thereby strengthening our soul.] "Does that mean the balance between Yin and Yang is the main foundation of our souls?" "Yes." Qiao Liangren nodded to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Dual soul cultivation will indeed make your soul evolve and strengthen faster, but your soul will still be fragile when compared to those who have achieved true harmony within their souls. Even if your soul strength is higher than theirs, they will still be able to defeat you in a soul battle if you have not achieved true harmonization, so the balance in the soul is essential for us soul cultivators." "Then, what about the second soul form, the soul mark, senior brother?" Qiao Liangren immediately explained to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Once our soul power reaches the soul core level, then we can start to form your soul mark, but we usually need some time to be able to form our soul mark. However, I have been monitoring you these few days, and I believe you can do it faster than other cultivators with your talent. However, I hope you will not rush into it, as failing to create your soul mark could potentially damage your soul." "I understand." Zhang Xiaolong [3] actually wanted to ask Qiao Liangren about the soul sea, soul world, and soul universe. However, he swallowed his question back, especially since he and Shang Yingyue had not told him about those three things, and they would definitely be suspicious if he asked him now. "I will start trying to balance the Yin and Yang in my soul, Senior Brother." Qiao Liangren only nodded and did not bother Zhang Xiaolong [3], who immediately closed his eyes. His eyes continued to watch his soul, as he began to absorb Yin Qi from the air to balance the Yang Qi within his soul. *Thud* Shang Yingyue suddenly landed there and sat beside Qiao Liangren, but she didn’t say anything to her senior and watched the rotation of the Yang and Yin Qi within Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s soul, which was gradually accelerating, with a satisfied smile adorning her face. Half an hour later, Qiao Liangren and Shang Yingyue were taken aback when they saw a faint Yin-Yang diagram appear above Zhang Xiaolong [3]. This diagram typically only appears during dual soul cultivation, but he was able to create it without the need for dual soul cultivation with a woman. Unfortunately, they didn’t know that he had the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art, and the female Yin Qi in his body was also quite abundant, especially since his main body and two other clones continued to dual-cultivate with their partners. In the next half hour, the Yin-Yang diagram had clearly formed and was rotating above Zhang Xiaolong [3] at an increasingly fast pace. Moreover, the Yin and Yang Qi within his soul gradually came to their balance, which amazed Shang Yingyue and Qiao Liangren. ’Did you guide him to do this, Senior Brother?’ Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s actions raised worry in Shang Yingyue’s heart, and she was worried that he would stop dual soul cultivation with her. Qiao Liangren responded to Shang Yingyue by shaking his head. ’Our master forbade me from guiding him directly, so I just explained the general outline, and he could immediately understand everything on his own.’ ’I see.’ Shang Yingyue nodded in understanding and returned her focus to Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s soul again. However, Qiao Liangren and Shang Yingyue suddenly felt the aura of many people moving towards them. They immediately flew into the air, enveloped Zhang Xiaolong [3] with their aura, and threw artifacts beside him to protect him. Soon, several people, both men and women, arrived at the top of the mountain. Qiao Liangren immediately released his soul and aura to deter them. "You guys better stay away from him, or I won’t hesitate to take action against you." "You guys should listen to Liangren." The newcomers immediately looked at Murong Mengying, who was floating down next to Qiao Liangren while drinking her wine gourd. "There are indeed more of you than us, but you guys should be aware that you still can’t beat us." The first to react was a young man with short black hair and a bare chest, who was none other than the representative of the Hao Clan, Hao Weizen. "Hey! We didn’t come here to find trouble with you three, and we were just curious about that kid, so you guys don’t need to be this serious, right?" "I’m not surprised that Qiao Liangren and Shang Yingyue are protective of that kid, especially since he’s a soul cultivator like then, but you guys aren’t usually like this Murong Mengying." Deng Zhichao, a man with a dashing appearance who was the representative of the Deng Clan, spoke as he glanced at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Don’t tell me that you are interested in a young leaf like your aunt." However, Deng Zhichao immediately shivered when Murong Mengying looked at him with a cold look in her eyes, causing him to instinctively fly backwards. "You better watch your words when you talk to me, or you won’t realize that your 3-inch piece of shit has disappeared from your body." Deng Zhichao immediately covered his dick, and his action caused the other people to laugh in amusement. Even some of the women among them smiled condescendingly at him, especially since his dick was too small for that size, but they had no doubt that Murong Mengying would really do such a thing to him. A young man with long black hair and an appearance similar to that of a literary figure immediately intervened between them. "Mengying, you already know Zhichao’s character; we are all friends here, so you don’t need to threaten him like that." "Whatever." Murong Mengying then turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] before a faint smile appeared on her drunken face. ’He is indeed a genius, but I feel that he has not fully used his talent, and I cannot measure his breadth or depth.’ "Is it true that Shang Yaolin discovered this kid in the netherworld realm, Yingyue?" A young woman, with light brown hair hanging down to her buttocks, suddenly asked. She was more beautiful than Shang Yingyue or Murong Mengying. She had an egg-like face with two light brown pupilled eyes, a long but slender nose, and wide lips covered in red. Although her skin was not white but rather tanned, her appearance was graceful in her strapless white and green dress, showcasing her D-Cup breasts, nicely defined curves, and long legs. "The news you heard is true, Lai Minhua." Shang Yingyue did not hide it because Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s presence had indeed spread throughout all the clans, but not all of them were interested in him, especially since he was still too weak in their eyes. "Yaolin is very fond of him, so I won’t let any of you snatch him from her." Lai Minhua smiled casually in response to Shang Yingyue’s threat. "Don’t you know me already? Do you really think I’ll be able to snatch that kid from Shang Yaolin? However, his talent had piqued my interest a few days ago, so I came here to watch him cultivate his soul firsthand." "Aren’t you a hypocrite, Yingyue?" Shang Yingyue immediately turned to another woman. The woman looked the youngest among them, and her appearance was also like a teenager around 17 years old, but she was actually as old as them. She had a baby face for a woman of her age, and her purple hair was tied into two ponytails. The look in her purple eyes showed cheerfulness and playfulness; her slender nose kept twitching as if she sniffed something, and her curled lips were wrapped in purple. Her appearance looks a bit childish and tomboyish, with sleeveless clothes covering her upper body and a short purple skirt covering her lower body. Her body is quite short, and her breasts are only around B-Cup. Moreover, she was holding a puppet in her arms, making men not interested in her. "What do you mean by that, Miao Miao?" Miao Miao shrugged her shoulders slightly. "That kid belongs to Shang Yaolin, but you use him for your benefit. Furthermore, you already have a husband, yet you are actively engaged in dual soul cultivation with him, so you don’t need to pretend to protect him from us." Miao Miao’s words left Shang Yingyue speechless to reply, especially since she herself realized it. However, she was reluctant to stop her dual soul cultivation with Zhang Xiaolong [3], particularly because his Yang Qi was extremely valuable. "You can’t reply to me, right?" Miao Miao asked again with a sneer in her tone. "All right, Miao, you don’t have to behave this way toward Yingyue." A tall man about 6’8" with muscles bulging from his skin immediately spoke up to stop them, but he then spoke to Qiao Liangren. "I heard that kid also practices the body cultivation path from Hong Xinxin, and he is suited to be a blacksmith if that is true, so I hope you will allow me to talk to him later." Qiao Liangren gave a nod of confirmation to the man. "You can talk to him later, Tie Xuan. However, you should not force him to become a blacksmith, especially since the results will never be good if he does something against his will." Tie Xuan, a senior cultivator, naturally understood this, so he nodded in understanding to Qiao Liangren. "Don’t worry, I will only offer it to him, and I will not force him to learn blacksmithing." Unlike them, the other three men behind Tie Xuan didn’t say anything, but one of them had a serious expression as he watched Zhang Xiaolong [3], and his eyes were filled with envy for his talent. In addition to those individuals, numerous others were also keeping a close watch on Zhang Xiaolong [3]. Even so, they had no intention of approaching him directly, and they were thinking of other ways to bring him to their side. While they waited for Zhang Xiaolong [3] to complete his soul cultivation, they talked about some other things. However, Qiao Liangren, Shang Yingyue, and Murong Mengying remained vigilant, particularly towards the few people among them. When it was dawn, they saw that the Yin-Yang diagram had disappeared, and the circulation of qi within Zhang Xiaolong [3] gradually slowed down before stopping completely. Once he was satisfied, he immediately returned his soul into his body. However, Mei promptly informed him that many people had been waiting for him since a few hours ago, and she also showed him the status of all of them. Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded slightly before opening his eyes, and he immediately put on a surprised expression. "Why are you all gathered here, senior brothers and senior sisters?" "Hahaha!" Tie Xuan was the first to respond with a big laugh, and he immediately moved in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3] before lifting him up. He then inspected his body from top to bottom, groping around it in a way that gave him goosebumps. "Kid, I am Tie Xuan, the representative of the Tie Clan. You probably don’t know yet about our clan, but we are a blacksmith clan, and I came here to offer you to become a disciple of our clan." "Why do you want me to become a disciple of your clan, senior brother?" "You learned the body cultivation path from Hong Xinxin, right?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to Tie Xuan. "Blacksmithing requires a strong and strudy physique, so the majority of our clan are body cultivators. Since you want to become a body cultivator, and I can see your talent in the body cultivation path, so I offer it to you. I will not force you to accept my offer right now, and I will give you time to think about my offer first. However, I can tell you that you will not regret it if you are willing to join our clan, and we can teach you the body cultivation path better than she can." Zhang Xiaolong [3] was naturally excited by the opportunity before him, especially since he himself was interested in becoming a blacksmith, and he had also thought about visiting the Tie Clan after Shang Yaolin told him about the clan. However, he did not immediately accept Tie Xuan’s offer. "Senior Brother, your offer is indeed tempting, but I have already agreed to undergo training from Aunt Xinxin, and my father has always said that I must keep my words. Therefore, I am unable to accept your offer at this time, and I will consider it further as I continue to train under her guidance." "I see." Tie Xuan nodded in understanding, but he then gave his clan plaque to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "All right, for the time being, you can train under Hong Xinxin, and if you have thought it through, you can come directly to my Tie Clan in the east area." "Yes, I will definitely think seriously about your offer, Senior Brother." After expressing his wishes, Tie Xuan immediately flew away from the location. The other three men followed behind him, but one of them kept glancing at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. Zhang Xiaolong [3], who sensed the man’s glance at him, immediately looked at him with a slight raise of his eyebrows. However, he remained silent, marked his name on his map, and asked Mei to keep an eye on him. Zhang Xiaolong [3] then looked at the two women from the two clans in the east area, but he was not interested in Lai Minhua, and he was more interested in Miao Miao, especially since her Miao Clan mastered puppet techniques. "Why are you looking at me like that, Kid?" Miao Miao asked with a playful smile on her face. "Hehe." Zhang Xiaolong [3] responded with a fake awkward look as he rubbed his nose. "Senior Sister, Big Sis Yaolin once told me that your Miao Clan are puppeteers, and I am honestly interested in learning about it." "How did you know that I am from the Miao Clan? I haven’t even introduced myself to you, and this is our first meeting." Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately pointed at the puppet in Miao Miao’s arms. "Oh! Unfortunately, you can’t learn puppet techniques from my Miao Clan, especially since only our members can learn them, and we never teach them to outsiders. Although your talent is very good, I will not make an exception for you, or my seniors will punish me severely." Zhang Xiaolong [3] had a disappointed expression after Miao Miao said that, especially since he was really interested in puppet techniques, so he used puppets to help him do some things, particularly when he fought against his enemies. Seeing his expression, Miao Miao immediately spoke to Zhang Xiaolong [3] again. "Anyway, there is one way if you want to learn our puppet techniques, but I’m not sure you will accept it. Moreover, it will bring trouble between my clan and the Shang Clan, especially since Shang Yaolin is fond of you." "Do I have to be a member of your clan to learn your puppet techniques, Senior Sister?" "Smart!" Miao Miao replied with a nod. "If you are willing to become a member of my clan, then I will teach you our puppet techniques. However, given your current circumstances, it is clearly impossible for you to become a member of my clan, so you should forget about your desire." - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1.
