Douluo Continent's childhood sweetheart, Qian Renxue, starts with soul rings transforming into

"Don't you possess those Five Elements Soul Veins? This is your first test. You'll be responsible for creating your own accommodation tonight." Gu Yuena's lips curled into a teasing smile as she looked at him.

Okay, okay, okay, is this how you play it? You've captured me, and you won't even give me a place to stay, and I have to do it all myself.

Just kidding. Don't underestimate the laws you gain from your soul meridian. Do you think you got the ability to casually generate iron rods when you were teaching Ning Rongrong?

"Entangle, no, it's wood attribute control." Points of light gathered in Lin Feng's hand, and a fresh and vibrant aura filled the air.

The light in Lin Feng's hand gradually materialized, forming slender wooden strips that wove together flexibly in the air, as if they were alive and combining on their own.

After a long while, a small and exquisite wooden house suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. The exterior of the wooden house was covered with lush vines and blooming flowers, as if it had blended into the surrounding natural environment, radiating a faint natural light.

"How about it?" Lin Feng smiled smugly and looked at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes: "Not bad, it seems your understanding of the laws is quite profound. This wooden house will serve as your temporary residence during your time at the Lake of Life."

Ah Yin watched from the side, her eyes filled with amazement. She had never seen such a magical method before. Could such a realistic and beautiful dwelling be created with the power of the soul vein? She couldn't help but look at Lin Feng's abilities with even greater respect.

Although I could do something similar, my spirit is Blue Silver Emperor for a day and for a lifetime, and the wooden house I built was also made of Blue Silver Emperor.

I can't be like Xiaofeng, with vines, wood, and flower centers all at once.

Di Tian's gaze shifted. When it came to controlling the elements, his master was the most authoritative figure on this continent. To win his master's praise, this human was truly something.

"Wow, this human kid is pretty good! Qiu'er, why don't you have him come over to my place? I really miss my friends from the far north. How about having him help me create an image of them?"

Wang Qiu'er yawned and rubbed her beast ears with her forepaws: "Big Bug, you should just stay put. Lin Feng is very important to us. Di Tian won't let you get close to him easily. Besides, I'm probably the only one you can talk to here."

Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm:

Lin Feng stepped into the wooden house he had created himself, feeling the vitality and warmth within it, and a sense of inexplicable satisfaction welled up in his heart.

Inside the cabin, there was only a simple wooden bed. After all, it was a large project, so there was no need to build everything at the beginning. The necessary items in the room could be added later.

"Then where should I stay?" Ah Yin asked, tilting her head with some confusion.

Lin Feng glanced around and shrugged: "How about we make do here for the night? Or perhaps we could weave a hammock using Blue Silver Emperor?"

Ah Yin rolled her eyes at Lin Feng, pursed her lips, and pointed to the bed large enough for three people to sleep on: "I'll sleep here. Be careful tonight. Where are the bedding?"

Lin Feng took out a sheet and quilt from his storage belt, laid them out, and placed two pillows on top.

Ah Yin frowned, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes: "Your soul tool has such a large space, and you only put a quilt in it?"

"What else? I didn't expect to come here so suddenly. It's good enough that I can bring these daily necessities with me, since I don't usually need them."

Ah Yin's cheeks flushed: "Then why did you bring two pillows?"

Lin Feng stretched on the bed and let out a long sigh: "Can't I put one under my head and hold the other in my arms? Consider this a loan. As for the blanket, this bed is spacious enough, just lay it sideways."

Ah Yin carefully pulled back the covers and lay down beside Lin Feng with some trepidation. To prevent any accidents, she used the Blue Silver Emperor to create a small partition between them, which slowed her heartbeat a little.

Gu Yuena sat quietly on a distant log, gazing intently at the starry sky, her mind filled with complex thoughts. Lin Feng's arrival might bring new hope and change to her and the soul beast race; what should she do next?

She glanced at Ah Yin and Lin Feng lying together, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. Then she looked at the last grilled fish in her hand, blinked her purple eyes, swallowed it whole without chewing, and returned to the space beneath the Lake of Life.

"What are you doing?" With mixed feelings, Ah Yin closed her eyes for a long time, but Lin Feng did not take the initiative to start a conversation, so she couldn't help but ask.

"write a letter."

"write a letter?"

Ah Yin opened her eyes and looked to the side. Under the light of a soul-guiding device, she saw Lin Feng wielding a brush and ink, writing something on a piece of paper.

"For Xiaoxue and the others?"

"Yes, Gu Yuena should be able to deliver it for me. They need to calm down quickly, and there are also matters concerning the Spirit Hall that need to be addressed."

A long time passed.

Why write a second letter?

Lin Feng grinned but didn't speak. This second letter was naturally for Bibi Dong, and what he wanted to say to her couldn't be easily revealed to others. (The letter discussed the growth process of a time management master.)

"Heh~ His Highness the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is quite the romantic—" Ah Yin said softly, a hint of jealousy in her voice, with her back to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng shrugged: "If you ever leave my side and my personal safety is restricted, I will still write to you. What do you think?"

"Who asked you to write a letter?"

Ah Yin's lips curled up slightly, and she closed her eyes again.

The night passed peacefully. The next day, Lin Feng woke up with a start, rubbing his sleepy eyes and looking to the side: "What's wrong?"

Ah Yin touched her flushed cheeks with both hands, snatched the blanket away, turned her back to Lin Feng, and buried herself in it.

Having lost the blanket covering him, Lin Feng noticed something amiss, and his lips twitched.

He coughed lightly: "This is a normal physiological reaction in men, don't make a fuss."

Without disturbing Ah Yin, Lin Feng adjusted his state, walked out of the wooden house, and was once again summoned by Gu Yuena to the space beneath the Lake of Life.

This time, however, it was Gu Yuena in her human form who faced Lin Feng.

"You came."

The ethereal voice rang in Lin Feng's ears again. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but Gu Yuena's ears seemed a little red.

"I am coming."

"Sit down. I will examine your internal condition. Focus your mind on your dantian and concentrate."

The divine power from Gu Yuena circulated within Lin Feng's body, gradually moving towards the Five Elements Soul Meridians. As time passed, Gu Yuena's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Her red lips parted: "My feeling was right. It's a very strange new force. If I had to describe it, it's like a gaseous energy. It doesn't have the unique characteristics of other elements; it seems neutral."

But I could sense that the power it contained was extremely strong, far exceeding soul power.

A glint flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. Although she was a newborn, she could sense that this power could surpass divine power.

It was truly shocking. In the Douluo Continent, when one becomes a god, there is a complete transformation, and converting soul power into divine power is a key part of that transformation.

From a certain perspective, the essence of divine power is actually soul power, only at a higher level.

But now, the power within Lin Feng's soul veins seems to possess something extraordinary.

With a ripping sound, Gu Yuena shattered Lin Feng's upper body clothing and casually tossed it aside.

"I quite like this outfit."

"Shut up!" Gu Yuena shouted softly, and came to Lin Feng, who was sitting cross-legged. Her beautiful face was only inches away from him. She placed her fair hand on Lin Feng's dantian, and under Gu Yuena's guidance, faint silver divine power gradually came to the vicinity of his soul meridian.

"lead--"

Gu Yuena raised her jade hand, which was enveloped in silver divine power and contained a wisp of golden gaseous energy. There was very little of it in Lin Feng's body at the moment, but some could be extracted.

Gu Yuena withdrew a wisp of ice and threw it directly at the newly formed ice crystal. With a loud bang, the ice crystal shattered instantly.

Even after being released like this, the golden energy still clung to the ice crystals, instead of dissipating instantly like soul power.

With a thought, Lin Feng drew the golden energy from the ice crystal to his index finger. His expression was inscrutable. Suddenly, he opened his palm and let the golden energy attach to it.

Visibly, the flow of blood slowed down, and the wound healed.

Gu Yuena nodded: "It is a very powerful force with endless possibilities for change, but you cannot control it on your own yet. How about giving it a name?"

“Let’s call it 'Qi'.”

Chapter 167 Gu Yuena: Lin Xiaofeng, I need your help with my cultivation!

168.

"Qi?"

Gu Yuena parted her lips slightly and repeated the word that was somewhat unfamiliar to her, her purple eyes sparkling with exploration and curiosity.

"Yes."

Lin Feng manipulated his Qi to write the characters on the ground, then looked at the pale golden energy in his palm. Even after his wounds healed, its intensity had not decreased much.

When the seal is placed on the palm, one can feel the immense power of this energy.

Origin, driving force, biochemistry, innovation, and harmonious change are the fundamental characteristics of Lin Feng's Five Elements Soul Vein. This new energy inherits these characteristics.

It can roam freely across Lin Feng's body, taking on any shape Lin Feng desires. For offense, it can transform into a sharp blade, tearing through space and striking directly at the enemy's heart.

For defense, it can condense into an indestructible shield, resisting all kinds of attacks and protecting oneself. This "Qi" is not only the source of power for Lin Feng, but also the key for him to master the Five Elements Soul Meridians and control the power of all things.

The "five energies" contained within the innate pearl harmonize with the five elements in the soul meridian, undergoing ultimate sublimation to give birth to this new energy.

This is almost the most fundamental power; it alone can perform derivative changes of Lin Feng's first five soul skills, from healing to attack.

Moreover, its strength is even higher, a characteristic that reminds Lin Feng of the innate Qi of Taoism in his previous life.

Primordial Qi, or Original Ancestral Qi, refers to the original Qi that gave birth to Heaven, Earth, humanity, and all things. It is the fundamental quality that constitutes Heaven and Earth and all things. It is the primordial energy of Heaven and Earth, the root of all things, and the bridge connecting all life in the world.

The fact that such a special power is born from one's own soul veins, and that the martial soul is an innate treasure, makes it hard not to associate it with this, hence the name "Qi".

Lin Feng remarked with emotion: "The character '炁' (qi) is composed of '无' (wu, meaning nothingness) on top and four dots below, indicating that this kind of '炁' is an energy that, while having no material phenomena, can cause all things to change accordingly."

It represents the most primal and purest power in the universe, formless and intangible, yet capable of nurturing all things. I felt this power resonated well with its description, so I named it after it.

Gu Yuena was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation before slowly nodding: "This is a script you created yourself? I've never heard of it before."

Who knows if the word "Qi" even exists in the Douluo Continent? Probably not. Placing this world among the Three Thousand Minor Worlds would be an overstatement; it would only qualify as a High Martial World. There's probably no record of "Qi" in it.
