Chapter 2: Pie in the Sky
Inside the Soto City Spirit Hall,
Bishop Kelin, after understanding Qin Ming's purpose, led him directly to the place where his soul power was tested.
In the empty room,
Kelin pointed to a light blue crystal ball and said gently,
"Qin Ming, let's test your soul power."
"Okay."
Qin Ming didn't waste any time.
He walked directly to the crystal ball and placed his hand on it.
A suction force came over him.
Qin Ming offered no resistance, allowing the crystal ball to absorb his soul power.
A moment later, the test crystal ball suddenly lit up.
Kelin's face changed upon noticing this.
"Level 29 soul power!
How is that possible?"
Kelin looked at Qin Ming in disbelief.
Seeing Qin Ming's slightly childish appearance, Kelin immediately realized what was happening.
After swallowing, he asked cautiously,
"Qin Ming, how old are you?"
"Twelve."
"Twelve!"
Hearing Qin Ming's answer, Kelin exclaimed again.
Qin Ming wasn't surprised by Kelin's reaction.
Inviting a genius to join the Spirit Hall was a significant achievement,
especially one like Qin Ming, who possessed a level 29 spirit power at the age of twelve.
For ordinary Spirit Hall members at the Bishop and Deacon levels, this feat could potentially change their future destiny.
It was precisely for this reason that Kelin was so excited.
After calming down a bit,
Kelin grabbed Qin Ming's sleeve, as if afraid he'd run away.
"Qin Ming, trust me, your choice is not wrong.
With your talent, the Spirit Academy in Spirit City is the perfect place for you."
As he spoke, Kelin's smile grew even brighter.
"Come, register your information with me first. I'll report your situation later."
Seeing Kelin's enthusiastic attitude, Qin Ming spoke again.
"Then I'll trouble you, Bishop Kelin."
"No problem, no problem,"
Kelin said, leading Qin Ming out.
A moment later, Qin Ming and Kelin arrived at the Spirit Hall's service hall.
Kelin invited Qin Ming to sit down, then pushed aside the deacons who gathered around to help him. He personally began registering Qin Ming's information.
In just a minute or two, Kelin completed the process that would normally take an hour or two.
After writing his final notes, Kelin smiled and handed the report to the deacon beside him.
"Send this report to Spirit City as quickly as possible."
The deacon, taking Kelin's hand, didn't hesitate and immediately ran out of the Spirit Hall.
Once the deacon had vanished, Bishop Kelin turned to Qin Ming and said,
"Qin Ming, please wait a moment.
With your talent, the higher-ups will undoubtedly value you greatly.
It won't be long before someone from Spirit City arrives to take you to their training grounds,"
Kelin said after a pause.
"Qin Ming, if possible, try to break through your soul power level.
If you can reach Soul Master before the age of thirteen, you'll break the record in Douluo Continent's history.
Once you arrive in Spirit City, you'll be treated even better. You
might even be accepted as a disciple by a Titled Douluo!"
A hint of envy crossed Kelin's face as he spoke.
Qin Ming didn't take Kelin's promise too seriously. He
simply nodded to indicate understanding.
Then, Qin Ming spoke again.
"Bishop Kelin, I have a favor to ask..."
Hearing this, Kelin looked up at Qin Ming. "Tell me, I'll do my best to help you."
"Bishop Kelin, I'd like to borrow some money from you."
"Money?"
Kelin was puzzled. Although he didn't know why Qin Ming asked, he didn't dwell on it.
He casually reached for his waist and handed his purse to Qin Ming.
"Qin Ming, take it.
Here are a few dozen gold soul coins. This is my personal donation to you."
Qin Ming shook his head at the bulging purse Kelin handed him.
"Bishop Kelin, this isn't enough."
He frowned at Qin Ming's words and looked at him suspiciously.
In his opinion, a soul master like Qin Ming, who came from a common background, wouldn't have many expenses.
Asking for so much money at once might indicate some bad habits.
For example, visiting brothels, listening to some folk songs, or something like that...
After sizing Qin Ming up again, Kelin asked tentatively.
"Qin Ming, how much do you need?"
"Five thousand gold soul coins."
"How much?"
Kelin was a little confused by the number Qin Ming gave.
Even spending every day in brothels listening to music wouldn't cost that much.
Five thousand gold coins was no small sum.
On the Douluo Continent, one gold soul coin was enough to cover the monthly expenses of a family of several.
An average soul master would only receive one gold soul coin per month.
Furthermore, upon reaching the Soul Sect level, the soul master's allowance was completely eliminated.
Qin Ming asked him for five thousand gold soul coins, and while he could afford them, he
didn't want to give them.
Qin Ming knew what Ke Lin's reaction would be, but he had
already thought of a response .
He clasped his fists again and said,
"Bishop Ke Lin, I stumbled upon a secret recipe and urgently need to purchase some herbs to help me achieve a breakthrough.
Once I achieve the Soul Master level, I will explain your contribution to my future master and help you reach even greater heights..."
"Breakthrough?"
Ke Lin was startled at first, but then his expression softened as he came to his senses.
"It's not just some bad habit...
I just don't know if the herbs Qin Ming said he needed for a breakthrough are real or fake." When Kelin was Qin
Ming's age, his Soul Power was only around Level 20. His talent was completely incomparable to Qin Ming's.
Kelin was also somewhat unsure about Qin Ming and didn't know how to deal with him.
Qin Ming was not anxious, but waited quietly.
After a moment,
Kelin gritted his teeth, thinking of Qin Ming's previous promise.
"Qin Ming, you need 5,000 Gold Soul Coins to purchase cultivation resources, right?"
Hearing Kelin's words, Qin Ming knew that the matter was settled.
Qin Ming nodded quickly.
"Yes, Bishop."
"I will give you 10,000, but you must practice with all your strength and strive to achieve a breakthrough before entering Wuhun City."
With this, Kelin pulled a Gold Soul Coin card from his pocket and handed it to Qin Ming.
Noticing Kelin's gesture, Qin Ming's heart was filled with joy.
Qin Ming quickly took the card from Kelin, briefly examined the numbers on it, and then clasped his fists towards Kelin.
"Thank you, Senior Kelin, for your help.
Qin Ming will always remember this favor."
Hearing this, Kelin's expression brightened considerably.
He reached out again, patted Qin Ming's shoulder, and said,
"Why are you being so polite to me?
You can break through, I can improve, and we all have a bright future."
