  . In response to Yu Xiaogang's question, Shen Lan waved his hand, causing the Tang San model floating in the center of the laboratory to accelerate. Time began to rapidly pass through its jade-like skeleton, quickly transforming into a 1.6-meter-tall head.

  Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but find it amusing. The average height of a spirit master on Duluo Continent was around 1.8 meters. If Tang San's final height was only 1.6 meters, coupled with his prettier appearance than a girl's, it would be even more amusing! 

 Shen Lan restored his muscles and skin, and deliberately dressed the Tang San model in women's clothing. Before Yu Xiaogang appeared a graceful young woman, a dead ringer for Ah Yin, though influenced by her angelic bloodline, she seemed to possess a more noble aura.  The only disappointment was the grown-up Tang San model's chest, too flat, flatter than a washboard. After all, Tang San had only become more beautiful and feminine, not completely effeminate. 

 But would Xiao Wu from the original novel still fall in love with Tang San with this look? Hmm! Just thinking about that scene makes me feel orange. In the original novel, Tang San was so popular with women, and even with Xiao Wu, he still attracted so many girls. I wonder if Tang San, now even more beautiful than the girls, will be more popular with men? 

 Later, Yu Xiaogang helped Tang San complete the disassembly of the Ghost Shadow Trace, which also included the I Ching Bagua, which gave Yu Xiaogang a headache for a long time.  

Incorporating the essence of the Ghost Shadow Trace from the Xuantian Treasure Record, Tang San was shocked by the comprehensive improvement in his evasive ability. His Dragon Steps surprised him, and for a moment, he felt that his Ghost Shadow Trace was no longer as effective. 

 Yu Xiaogang also taught several disciples the finished Qi and Blood Bone Strengthening Technique. Ning Rongrong struggled the most, as she had no basic knowledge and had to work hard for Tang San. After interacting with Tang San for a long time, Ning Rongrong also discovered his personality, which made her even more unscrupulous. Seeing Tang San deliberately calling her "Third Sister" all the time, Tang San was both angry and amused.  

That day, Tang San and Yu Linglong used their telekinesis to control small pebbles, engaging in a passionate exchange of blows. The whirring sounds of the high-speed pebbles were evident, a speed that left Ning Rongrong envious. 

 After days of diligent study, she knew she would pursue a support-type spirit master path. After all, Teacher Yu Xiaogang had said that the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda spirit was a gem-type spirit, limiting it to support or control-types. However, due to the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda's fragility, she would need to seek spirit rings with a strong life force to supplement the spirit's lack of essence.  Perhaps the first spirit master in Douluo Continent history to refrain from assisting others in their early stages was about to emerge. Yu Xiaogang speculated that absorbing spirit rings from spirit beasts with a strong life force would still yield fixed-amplitude spirit skills, though the amplitude wouldn't be very effective, as the essence in the spirit rings was used to strengthen the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda spirit. 

 When Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda spirit accumulates enough essence, and then receives a baptism of heaven, earth, sun, and moon essence, it can actively evolve. While it won't be as instantaneous as the immortal grass, transforming it into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, it can only evolve gradually, layer by layer, starting with the eighth and then gradually progressing to the ninth. This allows it to evolve even without the immortal grass's help, though it will forgo its powerful early support skills, becoming mediocre. 

 However, after Ning Rongrong witnessed Tang San and Yu Linglong's telekinetic battle, she changed her mind and actively cooperated with Teacher Yu Xiaogang's ideas. Ning Rongrong reasoned that with her telekinetic power, she no longer needed any spirit skills; she could just charge in!

  Especially after Ning Rongrong's exposure to the Qi and Blood Bone Tempering Technique, her physical fitness dramatically improved. Since her newly awakened telekinetic power was too weak, Ning Rongrong devised a method to channel that limited energy into her delicate fists. She began to leverage her agility to become a powerful attacking spirit master, much to the astonishment of Ning Fengzhi, who had come to visit her.  

It's hard to imagine a three-year-old girl violently punching a wooden stake to pieces. This made Ning Fengzhi extremely glad he'd decided to send his precious daughter to the Longmen Sect to be taught by Yu Xiaogang. 

 For the entire year, Yu Xiaogang had been dedicated solely to teaching his disciples while also cultivating himself. His spiritual sea had completely transformed into a small world of his own. Yu Xiaogang had begun to feel like he could leverage the energy of the universe with his spiritual power, without relying on telekinesis to control it.  

   Today, Yu Xiaogang had laid out his plans for a retreat to achieve a breakthrough in his spiritual realm. The three illusory flowers within his spiritual sea began to materialize, emitting waves of energy. Yu Xiaogang felt that today was the day of his breakthrough. 

 He practiced the Great Circulation of the Longevity Art to regulate his aura, striving to achieve the perfect breakthrough. The Qi and Blood Core in his lower Dantian began to exert its power, drawing the energy of the universe outside his body into his body for refinement. The soul core in his chest rose and fell within a five-colored halo, restoring the chaotic internal energy to its source.  

Now, Yu Xiaogang felt as if he could hear the soul power flowing through his veins like the mighty Yangtze River, continuously washing through every part of his body, transforming Yu Xiaogang's life form towards a more perfect and advanced state.  

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's spiritual sea was not at peace. The usually peaceful sea was now turbulent. Yu Xiaogang's vast spiritual power, baptized by the intertwining energies of heaven and earth, became even more brilliant. The scattered thoughts within his spiritual power fell into the vast river of soul power, draining out of his body and merging into the universe. 

 After being stored in his spiritual power, the three lotuses began to bloom like real flowers. These three lotuses represented Yu Xiaogang's imaginative ideas from prehistoric novels, representing the three souls of heaven, earth, and man. 

 When the lotus representing heaven blossomed, the figure of Shenlan appeared. This gave Shenlan, who was remotely controlling the affairs of the immortal realm from within the spiritual sea, pause. She felt that she could leave Yu Xiaogang's spiritual sea for a long time, as if she could act independently. 

 Shenlan was excited. It seemed that her master had succeeded. The soul and spirit were completely separated. Then the lotus representing earth began to bloom, revealing Luo Sanpao. Finally, the lotus representing man blossomed, revealing the spirit Thor. This enlightened Thor, who had previously been watching a movie in the spiritual sea, and had previously been confused and naive, to a new life.

  After all, a new soul develops slowly, and Thor, as Yu Xiaogang's spirit, was only an energy body. Now, she could also leave Yu Xiaogang's spiritual sea like an external incarnation and move around. She could eat, play, and cultivate independently like a normal person!  

The final point was Yu Xiaogang's greatest wish. Shenlan, Luo Sanpao, and Thor, through the three lotuses of heaven, earth, and man, would finally have the possibility of independent physical cultivation. Yu Xiaogang would then no longer be cultivating alone, but a group of four, their diverse insights combined to help him advance even further towards immortality and godhood. 

 When Yu Xiaogang's spiritual breakthrough occurred, a vision began to manifest at the back of his head: an illusory azure sea, with three lotuses floating within. One by one, phantoms stepped off the lotus platform and entered reality. Shenlan, experiencing a different experience, danced joyfully in Yu Xiaogang's retreat room, emitting a melodious laugh. This aroused the playful Luo Sanpao, who began to chase Shenlan and playfully play with her. 

 Meanwhile, the timid Thor, experiencing the world through his physical form for the first time, swung his dragon tail happily from side to side, and then asked Yu Xiaogang expectantly, 

 "Xiaogang! I want to eat meat!"
