Douluo Continent: Targeted Thoughts, Winning Over Bibi Dong at the Start

"You...you came to see me today, is there something you need?" Xiao Wu swallowed the pastry and asked, trying to appear calm.

Qian Renxue shrugged slightly: "Nothing special, just came to see you. After all, you'll become my spirit in the future, so it's not a bad thing to cultivate our relationship beforehand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's rabbit ears drooped slightly, but she did not refute him as fiercely as before.

She was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take your money, eat your food, and then run away?"

Qian Renxue looked at her, a meaningful smile flashing in her purple eyes: "Can you?"

Xiao Wu opened her mouth, wanting to say "Of course I will," but the words just wouldn't come out.

She lowered her head, looking at the small piece of pastry remaining in her hand, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know."

Qian Renxue didn't press the matter. She simply stood up and turned back as she walked to the door. "By the way, I'll have someone send over some new clothes tomorrow. The one you're wearing really needs some improvement in terms of taste."

Xiao Wu glanced down at the old clothes she had brought from Notting City, her face instantly turning red. Enraged and embarrassed, she shouted, "Mind your own business!"

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, pushed open the door, and left.

Xiao Wu sat on the bed, fuming, staring at the closed door. After a while, she suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon.

She hugged her knees, buried her face in her arms, her rabbit ears drooping softly on either side, and spoke in a voice so soft that only she could hear it: "Honestly! We should be enemies, but why does the hostility I feel seem to be fading?"

......

Qin Heng stayed in Tiandou City for a full month.

During this month, while recovering from his injuries, he secretly discussed with Qian Renxue the follow-up matters for promoting the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method".

His injuries were quickly and completely healed by the powerful healing ability of the Youyou Soul Bone. Qin Heng slowly circulated the Pure Yang Limitless Technique, feeling the surging and smooth soul power within his body, and let out a long sigh.

After the life-or-death experience of his battle with Tang Hao, his foundation became even more solid.

The soul power at the peak of level 64 surged like a river in his meridians, showing a faint momentum to break through to level 65.

"Your Highness, everything is ready." Yue Guan and Gui Mei, two titled Douluo, stood respectfully behind him.

Qin Heng turned around, glanced at the two of them, and nodded slightly: "Let's go."

Qin Heng knew better than anyone that the promotion of the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method" was directly related to his path to godhood.

This is not merely the dissemination of a martial art, but the foundation for his future faith.

Only when enough Soul Masters cultivate this technique, and only when enough people benefit from it, can his reputation reach a level sufficient to support the inheritance of his divine position.

You can never be too concerned about this matter.

Qin Heng's first stop was still the Martial Soul Main Hall and Martial Soul Sub-Halls around Heaven Dou City. Previously, he had gone to the Barak Kingdom and then to the Fasno Province.

This time, Qin Heng went to the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs.

Before Qin Heng and his group went to the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, dozens of cities of all sizes around the royal city had already made initial contact with the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method" under the promotion of Qian Renxue and Salas.

However, initial contact and true popularization are two different things. Qin Heng personally went to the scene, using his reputation for defeating Tang Hao as an endorsement, and personally explained the key points and benefits of the technique to those Soul Masters who had doubts. The effect was immediate.

When those ordinary Soul Masters saw the legendary Qin Heng himself, the legendary figure who defeated a level 95 Title Douluo with the body of a level 64 Soul Emperor, standing in front of them and patiently explaining the secrets of meridian cultivation, the shock and emotion they felt were indescribable.

"Lord Qin Heng, can we really cultivate this meridian mentioned in your technique?" a middle-aged soul master with a weathered face asked in a trembling voice.

He has been stuck at level 29 for a full fifteen years, his temples have turned gray, yet he still cannot break through that insurmountable barrier.

Qin Heng looked at him, his gaze calm and firm: "Yes. As long as you follow the methods in the cultivation technique and persist in circulating your soul power to impact the corresponding meridian nodes every day, you will definitely see results in one to three months."

The middle-aged soul master's eyes instantly reddened. A month later, when Qin Heng had already gone to the next city, the middle-aged soul master sat cross-legged in his simple wooden house, feeling the bottleneck in his body that had finally been broken through.

Feeling the exhilarating sensation of level 30 soul power surging through his meridians, the man in his forties burst into tears.

He made a breakthrough.

He has finally become a Soul Master!

And there are many, many more people like him throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.

Qin Heng's journey began in the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, heading east, passing through Auckland City and Shet City before turning west, traversing the Kingdom of Sylvester, and finally arriving in the Kingdom of Gurei.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, two titled Douluo, guarded him like two guardian deities, and no one dared to make a move against him along the way.

Qin Heng would stay for three to five days at each Martial Soul Main Hall.

He not only teaches personally, but also selects local young soul masters with good aptitude for one-on-one guidance.

The vast majority of these young Soul Masters are from commoner backgrounds, without family-inherited meditation methods or guidance from elders. They rely entirely on their passion to explore and progress on the path of Soul Masters.

Qin Heng's appearance was like a beacon in the darkness for them.

"Lord Qin Heng, why did you pass on the cultivation technique you compiled to us, and even teach us the techniques for operating the technique for free?" A boy of fifteen or sixteen couldn't help but ask.

He came from a poor family; his parents were ordinary farmers. It was already incredibly lucky for him to awaken his soul power. However, because his innate soul power was only level one, his martial soul was still the most ordinary wooden stick. He cultivated with great difficulty, and when he graduated from the junior academy at the age of 12, he reached level 10 and obtained a soul ring that had lasted for more than 30 years.

After that, his cultivation speed slowed down more and more, and now he is stuck at level fourteen and cannot make any progress.

Looking into the boy's eager eyes, Qin Heng reached out and patted his shoulder, his tone calm yet resolute: "Because in this world, it's not only nobles and sect disciples who are worthy of becoming powerful Soul Masters."

Although my parents were both Soul Masters, they passed away very early. Like you, I come from a commoner background and understand the hardships of ordinary people best. What we lack is perhaps just an opportunity. I wrote this cultivation manual to give all Soul Masters like you and me, who come from commoner backgrounds, a chance.

The boy was stunned, then bowed deeply and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes as he turned away.

From that day on, Qin Heng's name began to be passed down among ordinary soul masters.

Some say he was sent by the Spirit Hall to win people over, but most people choose to believe what they see.

They witnessed Qin Heng tirelessly traveling between cities, patiently answering the questions of every Soul Master seeking guidance, and seeing those who had practiced the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method" break through bottlenecks one after another.

"Lord Qin Heng is a guiding light for us commoner soul masters." This sentence was first uttered by someone, and it quickly spread among the commoner soul masters of the Heaven Dou Empire.

When Qin Heng arrived at the last Martial Soul Hall in the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire, a full year had passed since he left Heaven Dou City.

Winters in the North are exceptionally cold, with heavy snow blanketing the entire city in white.

Qin Heng stood on the platform of the Martial Soul Main Hall, looking at the dark mass of people below. Many of them had come from surrounding villages and towns, braving the wind and snow, just to see him.

Qin Heng took a deep breath and began to explain the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method".

After the explanation of the last Martial Soul Hall was completed, the bishop of the Martial Soul Hall respectfully handed over a statistical report.

Qin Heng opened it and, even with his composure, couldn't help but be slightly moved.

The report clearly states that since the promotion of the "Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method," more than two thousand Soul Masters registered in the Martial Soul Hall of the three northern provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire have successfully broken through their bottlenecks. Among them, the breakthrough rate for Soul Masters who had been stuck at level twenty-nine for many years was as high as 70%.

70%.

What does this mean? It means that countless ordinary soul masters who were originally destined for an ordinary life have had their fate completely changed because of this technique.

Qin Heng closed the report, looked out the window at the swirling snow, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This is only the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Once this technique spreads throughout the entire continent, his reputation will reach an unprecedented height.

At that time, the faith foundation for the succession of divine positions will truly be in place.

Of course, Qin Heng did not neglect his own cultivation while promoting the technique.

He knew very well that fame was only one of the conditions for becoming a god; one's own strength was the fundamental factor.

Without sufficient strength, becoming a god is nothing but empty talk.

Therefore, no matter how busy he was during the day, Qin Heng would always sit cross-legged and cultivate every night without fail.

After fusing with the reverse scale of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, he possessed the ultimate ice and fire attributes. His cultivation speed was already much slower than that of ordinary soul masters, and he needed to put in several times the effort to accumulate the same amount of soul power.

But Qin Heng was never afraid of hardship. When he left Tiandou City, his soul power was at the peak of level 64.

In the first month of his journey, he naturally broke through to level 65.

After that, his soul power would advance again every three months or so.

When Qin Heng completed the promotion work for the last stop of the Heaven Dou Empire, his soul power had firmly reached the peak of level 68, and he was only one step away from level 69.

In just one year, he broke through four levels.
