Chapter 34: Training in Martial and Soul Arts

Of course, Qiu Nuo understood the meaning behind Xue Ling’s words.

A fifth-level spiritual talent qualified one as a Summoner.

At the same time, that person had to be a Rune Master to be able to cast a Rune Crystal.

How did her mother get to know such people?

Or where did her mom get so much money to buy a fifth-level Defensive Rune Crystal?

“Maybe your mom was born into a prestigious family.” Xue Ling’s eyes glimmered. “But your dad was quite outstanding himself for marrying your mom. He must have put quite a lot of effort into doing so.”

A faint smile flashed past Qiu Nuo’s eyes.

The only person she had feelings for in the Qiu family was her father.

She had to admit that Qiu Yuansheng was truly a wonderful husband.

Even in the modern world, it was hard to find such a dedicated man, much less in a world where concubines existed.


So, this was why she hadn’t left immediately after becoming a Soul Master.

She couldn’t watch the Qiu family fall into the hands of that hypocritical woman, Qiu Yue.

“Qiu Yue should be returning in about two days. I have to absorb the Red Lotus Fire Spirit while she’s not back yet.” Qiu Nuo retrieved the glistening red crystal stone from Xue Ling’s storage space and asked curiously, “But will the Red Lotus Fire Spirit really be able to unblock all my meridians?”

She hadn’t done anything to Hong Tao earlier for fear that she would be exposed.

If the Red Lotus Fire Spirit was truly able to unblock all her meridians, she would be able to mask her identity as a Soul Master by pretending to be a Warrior. Then, she wouldn’t have to worry about gathering enough ingredients to create the Bone Marrow Liquid again.

“Of course, it’s true!” Xue Ling nodded affirmatively. “The flame that you absorb is completely different from the flame that you can create as a fire attribute Soul Master. One resides within your body, while the other is created by the concentration of your spiritual power. Haven’t you always been curious about how Mo Ziyan was able to create flames without using a Soul Stick? If I’m not wrong, he must have absorbed an external flame as well. As long as you successfully absorb a certain kind of strange fire, that flame will become your means of attack too. That means that once you absorb this Red Lotus Fire Spirit, the Red Lotus Fire will remain in your body and your blood, and your meridians will naturally be unblocked by it. It’s just that this process will definitely be excruciating. You should prepare yourself for it.”

“Are you saying that once I absorb this Red Lotus Fire Spirit, I’ll be able to create flames like Mo Ziyan?” Qiu Nuo widened her eyes in surprise.

She had always thought that Mo Ziyan had a special skill that allowed him to create flames without the use of a Soul Stick. She had never expected there to be a strange fire within his body.

“That’s not the only advantage. For a fire attribute Soul Master, if the fire that you absorb is powerful enough, it’ll directly enhance your soul skills too. That means that the Red Lotus Fire Spirit will form the basis for all of your soul skills in the future. So, I suggest that you only use your soul skills as your very last resort. I believe you’ve realized just how precious the Red Lotus Fire Stone is from this incident.” Xue Ling shrugged helplessly.

Upon hearing Xue Ling’s words, Qiu Nuo strengthened her will to become a Warrior.

With Xue Ling’s guidance, Qiu Nuo sliced her wrist and let out a bowl of blood before soaking the Red Lotus Fire Spirit in it.

Before long, a phenomenal scene ensued.

The Red Lotus Fire Spirit gradually dissolved in the bowl of fresh blood, eventually forming a Red Flame Lotus.

“This is the essence of the Red Lotus Fire Spirit. Hurry and get it into your body.” Xue Ling encouraged her.

Qiu Nuo took a deep breath and reached toward that Red Flame Lotus.

What shocked her was that she didn’t feel a burning sensation, but a warm and inviting one.

Perhaps, it was because the Red Lotus Fire Spirit had already been nourished by her blood.

The moment Qiu Nuo’s fingertips touched the Red Flame Lotus, it suddenly burst out in a thin flame and penetrated into her body.

In that instant, Qiu Nuo’s face drained of all blood, and she felt like her whole body was being attacked.

Everywhere that the flame passed felt as though a flaming hot knife slashed across it. The pain was almost unbearable.

Although she had already mentally prepared herself for it, Qiu Nuo had almost fainted from the pain several times.

Xue Ling watched on anxiously.

If this process failed, Qiu Nuo’s body would undoubtedly be greatly damaged too.

But the way she had taught Qiu Nuo was already the safest amongst them all.

Not many people knew of the accurate way of absorbing strange fires, and even if they were lucky enough to get one, few were able to absorb it successfully.

Even if they succeeded, they were subject to excruciating pain.

As compared to those people, Qiu Nuo was already doing rather well.


After some time, Qiu Nuo felt the pain gradually dissipating and sobered up as well.

“Qiu Nuo, you succeeded!” Xue Ling exclaimed excitedly.

Upon hearing that, Qiu Nuo was stunned, and she immediately tried to use her energy to check on her body’s physical condition.

Her meridians that had once been broken and blocked had been completely healed and unblocked by the Red Lotus Fire! Now, her blood flowed with a faint aura and the Red Lotus Flame.

In her core was a deep red lotus flower that rotated slowly within her aura.

“I have an aura within me!” Qiu Nuo widened her eyes in confusion.

“The Red Lotus Flame has the ability to gather one’s aura, and, even without undergoing any training, the Red Lotus Flame will absorb your energy automatically. That’s why you’ll be able to cultivate yourself at a faster pace than others. Besides, the energy within the Red Lotus Flame has already made you into a first-level Warrior.” Xue Ling looked excited and bounced around while speaking. “It seems like you’ll be able to train in both martial and soul arts. But before that, you should find a good scripture so that you can catch up with your progress as a Soul Master. Your spiritual talent exceeds the ninth level, and you have the special meditation method scripture left to you by Master. If you don’t train well, your skills as a Warrior will lack far behind that of the Soul Master’s.”

“We can talk about that later. Anyway, I’m glad that I’ve finally solved the problem in my body.” Qiu Nuo smiled.

“Make it your top priority to improve your skills as soon as possible while earning some money.” Xue Ling spread her palms helplessly. “You know that buying Soul Crystals, Soul Weapons, and skills all require money. Thankfully, you have good talent in refining medicine and now, you even have the Red Lotus Flame. With the Collection Of Ancient Home Remedies that Master left to you, it shouldn’t be a problem earning money. From tomorrow onward, you must improve your skills in refining medicine as well, apart from training in your martial arts skills. That will do you some good since you won’t have to spend money on buying pills.”
