Chapter 4 The "Gold Content" of Master Jade "Go up." Zhou Qing was the first to climb up the telescopic ladder. Tang San followed closely behind. When we arrived at the second floor, the light was dim, but it was bright near the windowsill, where there was a desk and four wooden chairs. In addition, the entire second floor is filled with various books, but most of them are story books, and the remaining small part is related to martial spirits, soul guides, and soul beasts. Apart from this, there is only one book about cultivation: The Spirit Hall's Elementary Meditation Technique. But in Zhou Qing's opinion, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call this book a soul master's training guide. The reason why there are so many here is naturally because Zhou Qing asked the villagers who were going to Notting City, or to Luoxing City to sell food to help buy it back. Who gave him the spare money? correct.
Luoxing City is the closest city to the Holy Soul Village in the Xingluo Empire. If the grain of the Holy Soul Village is to be sold to the Xingluo Empire, it basically goes there. It is a small city of similar size to Notting City. Zhou Qing bought so many books because he naturally wanted to learn more about the real Douluo Continent and think about his future practice. After all, without a golden finger and unable to become the invincible male protagonist of a cool novel, you can only constantly enrich yourself and prepare for the future in advance. Even if after awakening the martial soul, one does not have the innate soul power and cannot practice, or in other words, one cannot make any progress in practice, one can still become a master of martial soul theory! Among these books, there is also one called "Ten Core Theories of Martial Soul". Published under the signature: Yu Xiaogang. Originally, Zhou Qing wanted to look at Yu Xiaogang's theory of this world objectively. but! However, he was able to find many examples to prove the fallacies of the "Ten Theories" just by reading the small number of books on martial spirits that he had asked others to buy. Therefore, even though Zhou Qing has not seen Yu Xiaogang in person yet, he has temporarily and arbitrarily defined Yu Xiaogang as: a person who has memorized a large amount of information on martial spirits and soul beasts, but has no idea how to analyze, summarize, and conclude them! Considering the dilemma of Yu Xiaogang in the original novel who was unable to break through to level 30, Zhou Qing could probably understand that Yu Xiaogang might not have wanted to become a master of martial soul theory at the beginning, but just wanted to break through the soul power level. It was not until he was 30 years old that he realized that there was no hope for him to break through, and then he began to want to prove himself in another way. Why thirty? Because if a soul master cannot break through level 30 at the age of 30, it is basically impossible to break through again without special circumstances. Although according to the situation in the original book, before reaching level 99, the lifespan of a soul master does not seem to exceed that of an ordinary person by much, it can only reach the most ideal lifespan limit for humans. However, Zhou Qing, who had the memories of his past life, knew clearly that the human lifespan limit was actually similar. It was just that most people could not live to their expected lifespan limit due to various internal and external factors. The cultivation of a soul master, whether it is the soul power's conditioning of the body or the powerful martial arts brought by the soul power, can ensure from both internal and external aspects that his own lifespan will not be greatly shortened due to various uncertain factors from both inside and outside - being seriously injured or killed are two different matters. Yu Xiaogang was unable to break through level 30 at the age of 30, so he chose another way to become famous. However, when he reached the age of 30, his thinking had become rigid. Although it is said that age is not the limit for ambition, theory is something that cannot be handled by someone who only thinks about becoming famous. As a time traveler, Zhou Qing knows very well that if one wants to be famous, he cannot just think about fame, but must have other main goals. Fame can only be a bonus that comes with the process of achieving this goal. And after he turned thirty, Yu Xiaogang had definitely changed his main goal from breaking through to Soul Master to becoming famous. Even though he continued to practice over the years, it did not change the fact that he had already given up practice in his heart. Without the ambition to make progress, even if he kept his previous practice habits, he would not have made much of a breakthrough, not to mention that Yu Xiaogang was still obsessed with becoming famous... Coming to the chair, Zhou Qing handed Tang San a notebook and said, "Learn new words today." That's right.
Zhou Qing is teaching Tang San to read. At the age of two, Zhou Qing began to learn to read through the enlightenment books brought back by the villagers of Shenghun Village. If it were only books, Zhou Qing would not know the characters of Douluo Continent, but fortunately, Old Jack knew more than 200 commonly used characters. Also normal. After all, he is the head of the village, and Old Jack once revealed an inside story when chatting with other elderly people: for these country people, one of the necessary conditions to be a village head is to be literate. After learning the pronunciation and writing of more than 200 commonly used characters in Douluo Continent, Zhou Qing began to teach Tang San to recognize characters. He even found a lost symbol similar to English letters from some books that recorded the history of Douluo Continent, processed it, and made English letters appear in this world, so as to better assist him in recognizing characters. When Tang San learned that Zhou Qing had improved the English alphabet based on a lost script, he was immediately astonished. He did not think that Zhou Qing was a time traveler, but felt that Zhou Qing had great talent and that he must be accepted into the Tang Sect in the future. "That's about all the common words. I've learned them all." Tang San learned quickly, and in half a year, he had learned all the commonly used characters. In fact, if Tang San didn't have a sloppy father to take care of, he could learn faster. "Well, then, go take a look at those storybooks." Zhou Qing pointed to the bookshelf filled with local fairy tales of Douluo Continent and said to Tang San. "I'm not a kid." Tang San was speechless. "Children often say that they are not children." Zhou Qing brought the books related to martial spirits, soul guides, and soul beasts to the desk, picked up a pen and paper, and began to plan for the future. Most of the books that can be bought by the villagers can be circulated on the market, but even so, Zhou Qing believes that he, who comes from another world, can deduce from these books the rules that the people in this world have not discovered, or have ignored. Seeing that Zhou Qing had already entered the state, Tang San did not disturb him and could only take a fairy tale book titled "Pulling Up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow" from the bookshelf. The phrase "pulling up the seedlings to help them grow" made Tang San miss it very much. If it weren't for the existence of martial spirits in this world, he would have thought that he was just reborn in a different era of the original world. This book describes a farmer's son who awakened the rice martial soul. He was born with first-level soul power and embarked on the path of spiritual practice. At the age of twenty, he broke through to the tenth level. The first soul ring he obtained did not come from a plant soul beast, but from a ten-year-old sharp-horned lizard. After using the soul skills of this soul ring, the leaves of his martial soul, the rice, became sharper and his attack power became stronger. For this reason, the farmer's son felt that the plant martial soul could absorb the soul rings of animal soul beasts to make the martial soul more powerful. However, compared with other attack-type martial souls, after obtaining the soul ring of the sharp-horned lizard, the attack power of Daohe's first soul skill was not worth mentioning, and it was not even as good as the kitchen knife martial soul of a non-spirit master. Compared with other owners of the Rice Soul, the ability of his soul to help the seedlings grow better is similar to when he awakens his soul, just enhanced a little bit... In the end, after the age of thirty, this soul master stopped receiving the soul supplement from the Spirit Hall, and lived in poverty. He eventually embarked on the path of a fallen being, and began to constantly devour the lives and remains of others, and was then arrested and exiled by the soul masters of the Spirit Hall. Tang San was very curious about the cultivation of martial soul, but it could only be awakened at the age of six. He could not experience the magic of martial soul personally, but through these storybooks, he could roughly understand the general idea of martial soul cultivation - which required spirit rings. Moreover, for plant martial souls, it is best to absorb the spirit rings produced by plant spirit beasts. Otherwise, for the sake of an attack spirit skill with a tiny bit of attack power, the original advantages of one's own martial soul will not be able to grow to the best, which is not worth the loss. This was also what Zhou Qing intended. Although they are all storybooks with a large artistic component, being exposed to them from a young age can at least allow Tang San to recognize the value of Yu Xiaogang's "Master" in the future.
