When I got home, the kitchen hadn't yet filled with the aroma of food, so dinner was still a while away.

Na'er put down her little schoolbag, tugged at Xu Mengqing's sleeve and shook it, her purple eyes sparkling: "Brother, we don't need to eat yet, will you play with me for a while?"

Seeing Na'er's adorable expectant look, Xu Mengqing's heart softened, and she nodded in agreement.

The two started playing around in the living room. Na'er tiptoed and reached for the small doll that Xu Mengqing had deliberately held up. Her silver hair flew gently as she ran, and her laughter was as crisp as a wind chime. It hit the potted blue silver grass in the room, causing the tender grass leaves to tremble gently, as if they were also having fun.

After playing for about half an hour, Na'er was slightly out of breath, her little face flushed. Xu Mengqing rubbed her head and said gently, "Na'er, play by yourself in the living room. Don't run around. Your brother is going to the backyard to cultivate for a while. Mom will call us when dinner is ready."

"Okay!" Na'er nodded obediently, sitting on a small, cushioned stool while hugging her little doll. She added, "Brother, you can continue your cultivation. I won't disturb you; I'll wait for you here!"

Xu Mengqing smiled and agreed, then turned and walked through the living room into the backyard.

Pushing open the small door leading to the backyard, he was instantly enveloped by the lush vitality of the vegetation. A verdant green greeted his eyes. In the expanded backyard, the Blue Silver Grass grew vigorously inside and outside the array, with pale blue light appearing and disappearing among the grass blades. A gentle breeze blew, and the grass waves rolled in layers, rippling with a soft blue light, making even the air feel sweet and refreshing.

He walked straight to the circular bluestone slab at the very center of the Bagua formation, stopped, slowly sat down cross-legged, and adjusted his posture to assume the standard meditation posture of "five hearts facing the sky"—his feet were crossed, his palms were lightly placed on his knees with his hands facing upward, his Baihui acupoint on the top of his head was facing the sky, and his palms and soles were all facing upward, with his posture upright and his back straight without the slightest deviation.

As soon as he sat down, the surrounding blue silver grass seemed to sense his presence, and all of them stopped swaying in the wind and fell silent instantly. Then, wisps of pale blue life light slowly seeped out from between the grass leaves and gently gathered towards him at the center of the formation.

Xu Mengqing closed her eyes, completely abandoning all distracting thoughts, and sank into a deep meditation. Her breathing gradually became long and steady, slowly aligning with the life rhythm of the surrounding blue silver grass.

In an instant, a strong life resonance was formed with the blue silver grass covering the yard, and the blue silver grass on the street and in the corner of the yard in the distance also conveyed a faint sense of closeness.

The sparse elemental energy between heaven and earth was drawn by this resonance, continuously converging into the Bagua Formation, transforming into specks of shimmering white light that entwined between the blue silver grass leaves. Following the halo of the grass leaves, the light slowly flowed into his body, and then, through the two martial souls within him, was transformed into soul power.

Time passed slowly, and the Blue Silver Grass swayed gently, emitting a soft light, gathering spiritual energy for him.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Mengqing's soul power finally broke through that thin shackle.

"Buzz—"

A soft sound exploded within his body, and his powerful level 10 soul power suddenly erupted. A pale blue halo enveloped him, intertwining with the light of the blue silver grass filling the courtyard, as if the entire mansion had been illuminated.

Xu Mengqing slowly opened her eyes, a flash of golden light disappearing from them. She stretched out her right hand, and a blue silver grass slowly rose from her palm.

This Blue Silver Grass has some faint golden stripes that are not easily noticed on its roots and stems.

I've finally broken through to level ten! With just one spirit ring... my spirit can become a true spirit master!

Xu Mengqing stood up, stretched her limbs, and felt full of energy.

Xu Mengqing could sense that his level 10 soul power was extremely profound, and he was now stronger than ever before.

Looking up at the courtyard, the sky was already slightly dark, and the sunset had dyed half of the sky red. The blue silver grass in the backyard shone with a soft blue light in the dim light, and the patterns of the Bagua array were faintly visible, protecting this little world with warmth.

Just then, Meng Ling'er's gentle voice called out from the front yard.

"Mengqing, Na'er, dinner is ready, come and eat!"

Xu Mengqing raised his hand to disperse the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit in his palm, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the door. As soon as he pushed open the small door, he saw Na'er holding a small rag doll, sitting obediently on a small stool. As soon as she saw him come out, her eyes lit up and she skipped and hopped over.

"Brother! You've finished your cultivation!"

Na'er tilted her little face up, her silver hair falling down, her purple eyes filled with joy, and gently took his hand. "Mommy made lots of delicious food, let's go quickly!"

Xu Mengqing looked down at her innocent face, her heart softening. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go eat."

He took Na'er's small hand and led her into the warmly lit living room.

A steaming bowl of food was already laid out on the table, its aroma filling the air. Xu Zhan sat in the head seat. When he saw his son enter, his gaze swept over him briefly, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes before quickly turning into satisfaction.

"Xiao Qing, you... you've broken through?"

Xu Mengqing nodded slightly, her tone calm but filled with undisguised joy: "Yes, Dad, I just broke through to level ten in the backyard."

Meng Ling'er came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of soup. Upon hearing this, she paused, then looked at her son with surprise and delight: "Really? Level 10? Then our Xiao Qing will soon be a true Soul Master!"

She walked over quickly, reached out and gently patted Xu Mengqing's head, her eyes filled with pride and affection.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Na'er also came to Xu Mengqing's side and smiled as she offered her blessings.

Even though Na'er felt a strange unease every time she heard the words "Soul Master," she didn't feel any of those strange feelings when she learned that Xu Mengqing was going to advance to Soul Master. Instead, she felt only joy and happiness.

Xu Zhan laughed happily, "He truly is my son."

Meng Ling'er rolled her eyes at him.

Xu Zhan ignored his wife's eye roll and said happily, "Alright, Xiao Qing, have you decided what kind of spirit you want?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mengqing sat down at the dining table, her gaze sweeping gently over her parents' faces, her tone calm yet revealing a certain certainty.

"Dad, Mom, I already have a goal in mind."

He put down his chopsticks and explained his thoughts: "My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and its greatest characteristic is its powerful vitality. Therefore, when choosing a soul spirit, I tend to choose soul spirits with life attributes or plant-type soul spirits with strong vitality."

Xu Zhan nodded. "A soul with powerful vitality?"

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll take you to obtain the soul spirit tomorrow!"

Xu Mengqing nodded.

……

the next day,

Xu Mengqing asked Lin Ximeng for leave, and under Xu Zhan's guidance, the two quickly arrived at the Spirit Pagoda in Aolai City.
