Xu Zhan stared at the spear woven from blue silver grass, lost in thought for a long time. After listening to Xu Mengqing's explanation, he slowly nodded, his eyes full of approval.

"Okay, Dad happens to have a friend who is a powerful offensive type Soul Master with a Gun Martial Soul. I'll contact him tomorrow and see if he's willing to teach you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mengqing's eyes lit up instantly, and her previously composed expression softened with barely concealed joy. She clenched her fist and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Dad!"

He knew in his heart that having a specialized gun-wielding spirit master to teach him was far better than figuring it out on his own. This would save him from countless detours and be of great benefit to him.

Night gradually enveloped the entire city of Aolai. The blue silver grass in the courtyard shimmered softly under the moonlight, reflecting the warm yellow light emanating from the house, adding a touch of coziness.

To celebrate Xu Mengqing's successful breakthrough to level 10 Soul Master, Meng Ling'er went out in the evening to buy a lot of fresh ingredients. She spent most of the hour in the kitchen, and a table full of delicious food was ready.

On the wooden dining table, steaming dishes exuded an enticing aroma. The stewed meat was tender and the broth had a milky white sheen. Sprinkled with bright green wild vegetables, the dishes were fresh and fragrant. The golden-brown pancakes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Next to them were refreshing cold wild vegetables and several dishes of pickled vegetables, all of which were Xu Mengqing and Na'er's favorite foods.

Although it wasn't anything fancy, it was full of the taste of home, and every dish was filled with Meng Ling'er's love.

"Xiao Qing, please sit down. Today you successfully broke through and even transformed your martial soul. This is a joyous occasion. Mom specially made your favorite dishes. Let's celebrate together." Meng Ling'er wiped the water stains from her hands, smiled, and invited Xu Mengqing to sit down. She then picked up a piece of meat for Na'er, her eyes full of tenderness. "Na'er, eat more too."

After dinner, Xu Mengqing played with Na'er in the courtyard for a while, but soon it was time to sleep. He carefully coaxed Na'er to sleep, covered her with a light blanket, and watched Na'er's adorable sleeping face before quietly leaving the room and returning to the backyard.

In the backyard, the blue silver grass spread out like a soft green sea under the moonlight. A gentle breeze blew, and the grass blades swayed gently, making a soft rustling sound.

Xu Mengqing walked to the Blue Silver Grass Bagua Formation in the center of the backyard, stopped, and felt the rich life force around her. The slight fatigue from fusing with her soul spirit and activating her martial soul during the day was soothed by this gentle energy.

After sensing that her parents had gone back to their rooms to rest, Xu Mengqing began to act.

He sat cross-legged on the stone slab, and then, with a thought, activated the Sacred Dragon Pearl.

The next second, a wave of dizziness washed over him. When Xu Mengqing opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the backyard, or even in the Douluo Continent, but had arrived in a strange space.

The entire space was dry and rough, like a desert, with yellowish-brown rocks everywhere. It was empty and silent, as if the world had forgotten it.

He walked into the distance, occasionally catching glimpses of the bones of enormous, unidentified creatures. As he drew closer, he could even feel the chilling, ancient pressure emanating from those bones.

In the very center of this desolate space, there was an enormous lake.

Xu Mengqing slowed her pace, carefully avoiding the giant skeletons, not daring to touch them easily.

He could clearly sense that although the pressure emanating from these skeletons was weak, it was far beyond what he, at his current level eleven, could withstand. If he was not careful, he might even have his meridians damaged by the residual power.

The yellow earth and gravel underfoot crunched underfoot, the sound amplified in the deathly silence. Only the sound of one's own heartbeat and footsteps accompanied the noise, making this secret place seem even more vast and desolate.

Xu Mengqing could sense the presence of primordial energy within the entire space, which made him feel slightly relieved.

He soon arrived at the lakeside.

Gazing at the shimmering lake, Xu Mengqing's mood calmed down somewhat. The oppression and anxiety that had accumulated in the desert were completely dispelled by the lake's gentle warmth. The water was crystal clear, and sunlight shone on its surface, creating shimmering golden ripples that were both incongruous and strangely harmonious with the surrounding desolate landscape.

This space was created by the original owner of the Holy Dragon Ball, who used his supreme power to extract half of a plane and refine it into a secret realm.

And now, the Holy Dragon Ball can only use this space.

The Holy Dragon Ball had suffered a severe blow, and with the passage of time, its last bit of power was used to travel through time and to rebuild Xu Mengqing's martial soul.

After lingering in the space for a while, Xu Mengqing had a sudden thought and returned to the courtyard.

Feeling the familiar world around her brought Xu Mengqing a great sense of peace.

Next comes the true inheritance of the Holy Dragon Balls: a cultivation technique.

Xu Mengqing sat cross-legged and began to digest the first rune imprint that had been imprinted in his mind.

As his mental energy touched the rune mark, the mark immediately flashed with dazzling light, and then a large amount of information flooded into his mind like a tide, including knowledge of human meridians and the first level of the cultivation technique.

The technique is called "Devouring Heaven and Spirit Devouring Technique," which is also the reason why that dragon clan elder was able to rise to prominence so quickly.

It is a heaven-defying technique that combines the three miraculous effects of devouring, transforming, and condensing.

Next, Xu Mengqing began to study.

Xu Mengqing is currently unable to cultivate any techniques because he knows nothing about meridians. In his previous life, he wasn't a medical student, and in this world, he can't obtain any books about meridians. Fortunately, the Holy Dragon Pearl may have sensed his lack of knowledge, so it proactively implanted knowledge about meridians into his brain, which he only needs to digest and learn on his own.

He meticulously compared the diagrams and text in his mind, repeatedly memorizing the pathways of the meridians, identifying the main meridians, the branches, and the key nodes of soul power—all etched into his brain. The originally obscure and difficult-to-understand human anatomy became clear and easy to understand under the intuitive presentation of the Sacred Dragon Pearl.

In addition, his memory is not weak in this life.

It took Xu Mengqing more than two hours to completely memorize the meridian routes required for the first level.

After confirming that everything was correct, he couldn't wait to start practicing. He crossed his legs and placed his hands lightly on his knees.

Moonlight shone on him, and the blue silver grass in the backyard swayed gently. The life force and the primordial energy of the blue silver Bagua array slowly gathered.

Following the methods of the "Devouring Heaven and Spirit Devouring Technique," Xu Mengqing guided the faint soul power within her body, slowly circulating it along the newly memorized route.

At first, it was a bit awkward; the soul power flowed through the meridians intermittently, and even occasionally got stuck.

But he remained calm and patient, trying again and again.

With the help of the Holy Dragon Ball, he was able to stabilize his soul power and straighten out his path.

After several cycles of circulation, the flow of soul power became smoother and smoother. The previously stagnant areas were gradually opened up, and an aura several times purer than usual flowed slowly through the meridians.

To his even greater surprise, as soon as he activated the technique, the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force, rushing wildly into his body, being rapidly devoured and transformed, gradually solidifying the foundation of his soul power.

Xu Mengqing was secretly alarmed.

This "Devouring Heaven and Spirit Devouring Technique" is indeed domineering. I've only just started learning it, and my cultivation efficiency already far surpasses that of ordinary meditation.

He didn't try to do too much; he only thoroughly mastered the first level of basic operation before slowly stopping.

When I opened my eyes again, a faint glimmer of dawn was already appearing on the horizon; it was almost daylight.

Xu Mengqing stood up, stretched, and felt that her meridians were flowing smoothly, her energy was high, and even her eyes were clearer and sharper than before.

He clenched his fist and could clearly feel that although his soul power had not increased, it had become more condensed and solid, and in the process, his physical body seemed to be slowly strengthening as well.
