The power of his Self-Created Soul Skills was increasing with each use, and he was also gaining new insights during battles.
Now he's come up with this "Mysterious Heaven Skill," which is said to be even faster than meditation for cultivation.
Meditation was the cultivation method created by the powerful Soul Master who led humanity to defeat the soul beasts a thousand years ago. It was the most suitable cultivation method for humans.
Could this Xiao Yan be even more talented than that powerful Soul Master?
Xiao Yan said, "Rongrong's statement isn't entirely accurate. My strength isn't simply due to the Mysterious Heaven Skill. She'll be able to learn about some of the cultivation methods later on."
After saying this, Xiao Yan briefly introduced his organization to Chen Xin: "The Soul Palace I established advocates focusing on Soul Power. People should work harder to cultivate Soul Power, using it to drive their Martial Souls and cultivate the martial skills best suited for them, thus unleashing power far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Masters."
If it were before, Xiao Yan might have suggested that Chen Xin research a powerful sword technique.
This would not only enhance his own strength but also make it easier for more people to master powerful martial skills.
But experiencing the power of those soul skills firsthand made it seem unrealistic for the naturally gifted Douluo Continent inhabitants to spend their energy on martial arts.
"Soul Power, martial arts..." Chen Xin felt his previous idea of recruiting him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was somewhat laughable.
This Xiao Yan not only had great ideas but also the ability to realize them.
Such a person would definitely not join any force.
Xiao Yan's information must be relayed to Feng Zhi as soon as possible. How to handle the relationship with Xiao Yan, he believed Feng Zhi could make a more correct decision.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yan had too many girls around him, Chen Xin felt that letting Ning Rongrong be with Xiao Yan would be a good choice.
"Rongrong, you stay with Xiao Yan and study hard. Sword Grandpa is going back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Sword Douluo's Soul Rings began to shimmer again.
Xiao Yan said at this moment, "Senior, please wait a moment."
"What's up, kid?" Chen Xin looked at Xiao Yan curiously.
Xiao Yan got back to the point, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Senior. I can't agree to Rongrong's request."
"Why not? Is it because Rongrong belongs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? You should have known that from the beginning when you took her in."
Looking at Ning Rongrong, whose face was puffed up like a steamed bun, Xiao Yan said, "I refused her before. It's very difficult for Soul Masters with lower levels to quickly learn the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Maybe she wasn't particularly clear about the specific reasons before, so I'll explain it in detail today."
"If you want to take a shortcut, you must first undergo a Medicinal Bath and my unique technique to nourish your Meridians. Combining the two can greatly improve a Soul Master's physical quality.
During this process, both parties are almost naked, and there's no need to elaborate on how to nourish the Meridians. Moreover, the whole process is extremely painful, which is not something ordinary people can endure."
Chen Xin nodded slightly, "In that case, it is indeed not very convenient."
Zhu Zhuqing fully agreed with Xiao Yan's words. If she wasn't facing the constant threat of death and wasn't somewhat reckless due to her ignorance, she absolutely wouldn't have agreed to try the cultivation method Xiao Yan had suggested.
The level of pain was indescribable. Moreover, there would be occasional moments of comfort during the process, creating an experience of both ice and fire that made it even harder to bear.
Xiao Yan continued, "After completing the first step, you can then accept the Mysterious Heaven Skill inheritance. However, the entire process is also extremely painful, and even if you master the complete Mysterious Heaven Skill, it doesn't mean you can fully utilize it. It depends on your physical constitution."
After extensive experimentation on Zhu Zhuqing, he had obtained a relatively accurate set of data.
Soul Masters in Douluo didn't even know what Meridians were. If they wanted to open their Meridians, it would depend entirely on their physical constitution.
"Although this method is a shortcut, the process is too dangerous. In comparison, I recommend..." Xiao Yan took back the Mysterious Heaven Skill book from Meng Yiran and patted the cover, "I recommend studying through books. It's safe, simple, and painless."
Painless? Chen Xin closed his eyes slightly.
For his little princess, making her read books was practically more painful than killing her.
Regarding the Mysterious Heaven Skill, which was much faster than meditation for cultivation, Chen Xin was quite curious: "Can I take a look at this book?"
The Mysterious Heaven Skill was currently a unique secret manual of Xiao Yan's Soul Palace.
His words were indeed somewhat impolite.
Xiao Yan didn't have Chen Xin's many concerns. Even if Chen Xin had the ability to remember everything he saw, the two-layered Mysterious Heaven Skill wouldn't cause a qualitative change in Chen Xin's strength, nor could it quickly produce a large number of powerful Soul Masters.
Therefore, Xiao Yan casually tossed the cultivation method to Chen Xin.
Having obtained the cultivation method easily, Chen Xin looked at Xiao Yan with some surprise.
If it really had the effects Ning Rongrong mentioned, this cultivation method could almost be said to be something the Soul Master world dreamed of, more sought after than soul rings and External Soul Bones, yet Xiao Yan simply tossed it over.
After all, there were only two ways to increase Soul Power levels in the Soul Master world.
One way is to obtain high-year Soul Rings, the excess energy within which would allow Soul Power to increase beyond the normal level during breakthroughs.
However, this method only works a few times.
The second method is meditation.
This is the most orthodox way to increase Soul Power levels.
Flipping open the book, Chen Xin read carefully.
To be honest, even he found the dense, obscure, and rarely-used characters a bit of a headache.
However, upon closer inspection, Chen Xin was astonished to discover that the simplified diagrams marked many crucial locations for Soul Masters.
He had only become aware of these locations after becoming a Title Douluo.
Xiao Yan not only knew from the start, but judging by the descriptions, he was even more familiar with the human body than Chen Xin was.
The booklet was thin, and Chen Xin quickly flipped through it.
He had to admit, Xiao Yan's Mysterious Heaven Skill did have some merit.
The idea of circulating Soul Power through those crucial points was audacious.
Closing the booklet and returning it to Xiao Yan, Chen Xin looked at Ning Rongrong with a sigh, "Although this Mysterious Heaven Skill is indeed good, I'm afraid there's no hope for you, my little princess."
Ning Rongrong said with dissatisfaction, "Sword Grandpa, you can't just believe everything Xiao Yan says. Those methods he described aren't actually that terrifying."
Chen Xin said seriously, "Rongrong, this isn't a joke."
He had a good impression of Xiao Yan, and didn't think he was the type to lie about something like this.
"Aren't cultivation techniques like the Mysterious Heaven Skill usually just given away?"
Dragon Duke and Snake Granny found this impossible to believe.
After all, Xiao Yan's strength far surpassed theirs, so there was no need for him to lie.
Moreover, thanks to Xiao Yan's help, their granddaughter not only fused a Soul Ring that exceeded the limit, but also obtained an incredibly rare External Soul Bone.
Each of these things provided immense benefits, each one something their family likely wouldn't achieve in their lifetime.
Dragon Duke even removed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess, who was originally a strong competitor, from Meng Yiran's competition list.
She was too spoiled and willful.
Xiao Yan didn't know how to advise this young girl who had just left her family, and this time Xiao Xue didn't say anything either.
Xiao Yan said seriously, "I always treat people with sincerity, and that shortcut method will only be more terrifying than what I've said."
"Scary?" Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile. "Do you dare to let Zhu Zhuqing, who has experienced shortcuts, answer three questions?"
"Me?" Zhu Zhuqing didn't expect Ning Rongrong to target her.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was wearing a pair of black silk stockings and looked so refined, Xiao Yan nodded at Ning Rongrong and said, "If you have any questions, just ask. We have nothing to hide."
Ning Rongrong walked gracefully towards Zhu Zhuqing, smiling as she said, "I only have three questions, and Sister Zhuqing only needs to nod in affirmation or shake her head in denial."
Her long eyelashes blinked, and looking at that pair of large, exquisitely carved agate necklaces, Ning Rongrong grinned: "However, Sister Zhuqing must answer truthfully, or else the agate necklaces on your body will shrink significantly."
Being called out like this by Ning Rongrong in front of everyone, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't have cared before, but now...
Zhu Zhuqing glanced shyly at Xiao Yan; he seemed to really like her big necklaces.
"Don't worry, I will answer truthfully," Zhu Zhuqing said, looking down at Ning Rongrong.
"Very good." Ning Rongrong nodded with satisfaction. "First question, were you wearing some thin clothes during the Medicinal Bath? Just nod or shake your head."
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment. She was indeed wearing a thin set of clothes and nodded.
Xiao Yan felt that this Ning Rongrong was clearly prepared. She had just started and already gotten Zhu Zhuqing to step into a pit.
Looking at Xiao Yi's pair of light purple eyes, Xiao Yan asked: "Did Xiao Xue say anything out of line just now?"
Xiao Yi shook her head slightly.
She had been beside Xiao Xue just now and hadn't heard Xiao Xue talking to Ning Rongrong.
Having received the answer, Xiao Yan could only hope that Ning Rongrong wouldn't ask some strange questions.
The plan was proceeding smoothly. Ning Rongrong held out two white fingers: "Second question, although the whole process was sometimes painful, wasn't it also occasionally very comfortable? You could say it was pain mixed with comfort."
Ning Rongrong's question immediately drew several gazes towards Xiao Yan.
This was indeed too easy to misunderstand. Xiao Yan didn't know how to explain it; it was too complicated to explain in just a few words.
Recalling Xiao Yan's fingers kneading her legs, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate face flushed.
And Ning Rongrong's description was pretty accurate; the first time, she had felt both pain and pleasure, but the second time, it was all pleasure.
She could only nod, her face red.
As Zhu Zhuqing nodded, Xiao Yan felt those suspicious gazes become even more strange.
However, he couldn't refute Ning Rongrong's statement.
Meng Yiran looked at Zhu Zhuqing, carefully comparing herself.
She found that Zhu Zhuqing, aside from being a bit taller than herself, had a face and figure that were about equal to her own.
Why hadn't Xiao Yan used the method to nourish her meridians when facing her?
Women were always overly fixated on their appearance.
If you looked at her, she would likely feel that you were being perverted and disgusting, even while being happy about her own beauty.
But if you completely ignored her, she would start to doubt herself, feeling insecure and anxious.
Meng Yiran raised her hand and touched her short silver hair, wondering if it was because her hair was too short?
Having received the answer to the second question, Ning Rongrong asked the third.
"After accepting the shortcut cultivation method, did your Soul Power continuously break through three levels, advancing from level twenty-seven to level thirty?"
As soon as this was said, Chen Xin and the others' suspicions of Xiao Yan lessened considerably.
If this heaven-defying effect is true, even if he actually does something, I'm afraid a lot of people in the Soul Master world would hope Xiao Yan would do it for them.
Three-ranked Soul Power, and it's three-ranked Soul Power at the Great Soul Master level. Even the talented ones need a year or two, and the useless ones are stuck at twenty-nine ranks their whole lives, never able to break through.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Zhu Zhuqing.
Could it really have such a miraculous effect? Finally, a serious question was asked.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had originally thought it would be awkward again, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.
"It's actually real!" Chen Xin could naturally see that Zhu Zhuqing had just broken through the thirtieth rank, probably not long after absorbing her Soul Ring.
Breaking through from twenty-seven ranks to thirty ranks, in just one night.
If it were possible, he really wanted to tie Xiao Yan to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and have him do it for all the female disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength would definitely increase significantly, and they could maintain their dominant position among the three upper sects for many years to come.
They would gain several years of cultivation results compared to others. To catch up, unless someone else had a "Xiao Yan."
After asking the three questions, Ning Rongrong turned and said, "Sword Grandpa, you should know now. Although this method will be a bit painful, the benefits are enormous. Didn't you always say that time is the most precious thing for young Soul Masters?"
Chen Xin was wavering at this point.
Compared to the cost, the gains were indeed huge.
With Rongrong's status, she certainly wouldn't be married off in the future.
This raised a question.
Families with a similar status to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect definitely wouldn't get involved in this matter.
Neither side believed it was possible.
Not many families worse than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would want to offer a son-in-law.
Even if someone were willing, whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would accept them was another matter. Commoner Soul Masters had a clean background.
But finding a talented one among them was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
This complex problem naturally gave Feng Zhi a headache, and he didn't want to think about it too much.
As for what happened before Ning Rongrong's wedding, as long as she liked it, it was fine.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly at this, "You've said so much, it's just that you want to take a shortcut and be lazy. Since you want it so much, I'll agree."
He had also just figured it out.
No one said that warming the Meridians had to be done with a human hand. Vine tendrils were also hands.
