After dinner, everyone, except for Ning Rongrong, who had to go back to work at Tiandishang, focused on their cultivation. Tang San, having asked Huo Wu about Yu Tianheng's whereabouts, decided to pay him a visit.
Gu Yuena, who had been cultivating Xuantian Technique for a while, joined him. She was curious to see the difference between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit and the actual Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul beast.
"By the way, do you have any special insights from practicing Xuantian Kungfu?" Tang San asked curiously on the way.
"It's okay, it's just a bit inferior to my cultivation method," Gu Yuena said honestly. "However, this cultivation method is quite unique. It can adapt to different people's physiques, attributes, and martial spirits, evolving into different paths. If the soul power cultivated through it doesn't pass through the martial spirit, the soul power will be attribute-less, like plain water... So, with this method, even someone with zero innate soul power, as long as they're not an elderly person with declining vitality, can cultivate soul power, right?"
"In theory, yes." Tang San acknowledged the superiority of Xuantian Technique. "This is something no current meditation method can compare to, not even your divine technique."
"Who says mine can't?" Gu Yuena turned her head. "I can directly implant a seed of soul power or elemental power into someone, allowing them to cultivate."
"Then it's you who's amazing, not your technique."
"Hmph, my technique is as amazing as I am!"
As they talked, they arrived at the estate Spirit Hall had arranged for Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, located at the foot of Spirit Mountain, three miles from Tang San's estate.
The name of this estate was Hengyan Estate, aptly named for Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.
The guards at the gate knelt on one knee upon seeing Tang San, showing admiration and respect: "Greetings, Holy Son!"
"No need for formalities."
Tang San nodded slightly. "Please inform them that an old friend is visiting."
"Yes!"
One of the guards immediately went inside.
Soon, Yu Tianheng came out with Dugu Yan, looking happy when he saw Tang San. "Captain, it really is you. I thought the only one who would visit me here in Spirit City would be you."
Dugu Yan smiled. "Let's talk inside. There's no reason for the captain to stay at the gate."
"Haha, you're right." Yu Tianheng hooked his arm around Tang San's shoulder and led him into Hengyan Estate. Gu Yuena followed behind Dugu Yan.
"Captain, or rather, Holy Son now," Dugu Yan joked as she served tea to Tang San and Gu Yuena in the living room. "Who's this little sister?"
"Don't call me Holy Son; it sounds distant. Just use my name," Tang San smiled and introduced Gu Yuena. "Her name is Gu Yuena, a relative of Xiao Wu. Her martial spirit is also a true dragon type. She heard that Tianheng's martial spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, so she came to take a look."
"A true dragon!" Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up. He pushed a plate of delicate pastries towards her and asked curiously, "What kind of dragon is your martial spirit?"
"Silver Dragon." Gu Yuena didn't even glance at the pastries. She simply observed Yu Tianheng intently before suddenly activating her martial spirit. She transformed into a little dragon girl, with every silver-white scale emitting a rainbow-like glow. A powerful dragon aura spread out, making Yu Tianheng feel oppressed.
His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit was being suppressed!
It wasn't just him; Dugu Yan also felt some discomfort. However, her martial spirit, the Nine-Headed Jade Serpent Emperor, was a top-tier spirit with a poisonous attribute, regulated by her internal Jade Scale Pill. Because this attribute wasn't something the Silver Dragon King possessed, her resistance to the dragon aura was slightly stronger than Yu Tianheng's true dragon spirit.
In short, the Nine-Headed Jade Serpent Emperor, although it contained some dragon blood, was not directly subordinate to the Silver Dragon King and could resist its command.
"What a terrifying martial spirit."
Yu Tianheng wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead. He had never imagined that another dragon-type martial spirit could suppress the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon in terms of bloodline. This reminded him of the dragon aura he had sensed back when he was at Tian Dou Imperial Academy. He wondered if there was any connection with the girl in front of him.
Could it be the same person?
"I see potential in you. How about becoming my underling?"
"Bang!"
As soon as she said that, Tang San flicked her forehead. She clutched her head in pain and angrily retorted, "How dare you defy me? I'll teach you a lesson today!"
With that, she bit down on Tang San's hand.
"Don't mind her. She's still immature," Tang San said, ignoring the bite, as he explained to Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan. Then he asked about their mission, "I heard from Huo Wu about your situation. Is the Fallen team that troublesome?"
"Sigh, I didn't expect a few mere Soul Kings to require so much time from us," Yu Tianheng sighed. "Now I understand the greatness of Spirit Hall..."
In the past, influenced by his family, he had seen Spirit Hall as a competitor. Even when viewing them objectively, he thought of them as just the largest power.
Now, however, he understood that Spirit Hall was genuinely striving to combat the Fallen, something the various families wouldn't do. For them, the preservation of their bloodline was paramount.
Over the past two years, in the pursuit of the Fallen team, he had experienced much, broadening his horizons and making his judgments about the various powers on the continent more objective.
"When I first returned to Spirit City, I thought I had come to the wrong place. In just two years, the city had split into an inner and outer city, with the outer city further divided into six major regions. Now that I think about it, while I've accomplished nothing in these two years, you've helped build six outer cities for Spirit City. I can't compare at all," Yu Tianheng remarked.
"Don't flatter me. I merely gave some orders. The real builders of the six cities were the residents who all contributed," Tang San said, sipping his tea, not taking credit. He then asked, "How long are you staying this time? Will you continue the mission to hunt down the Fallen team?"
"Of course, we have to continue; otherwise, we'd be a laughingstock. This time, we're mainly here to procure some resources to aid our cultivation. The medicinal herbs here are the best," Yu Tianheng explained the reason for their return. "I heard Spirit City has even developed elixirs. I've also heard that the most famous healer and alchemist in Medical Elixir City is Xiao Wu!"
"Speaking of which, how does Xiao Wu manage her cultivation alongside her research in medicine? Doesn't it affect her progress?" Dugu Yan asked, concerned.
"Don't worry. Xiao Wu's cultivation isn't affected by her other pursuits. On the contrary, medicine and cultivation are interconnected. Currently, her soul power has reached level 65," Tang San said.
"Level 65!" Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan exclaimed simultaneously.
