Chapter 9: The Three-legged Golden Crow in the Making
The bracelet that Qian Renxue took out and gave to Pei Qing was a storage soul guidance device.
The golden bracelet was inlaid with three golden gems, each of which had a capacity of ten cubic meters.
As a wisp of soul power entered, a hazy space appeared directly in Pei Qing's consciousness.
In this era, the thirty-cubic-meter storage soul tool in Pei Qing's hand could be considered a top-tier item.
Although the thirty cubic meters of space was not particularly large, it was enough for his needs.
After all, he would not carry many things with him, nor did he require items like hidden weapons and poisons.
The Golden Crow Martial Soul subtly and imperceptibly, made its possessor look down on everything else, seeing themselves as supreme, and disdaining underhanded tactics.
"No need to be polite, as long as you like it."
"You just obtained a soul ring, so you can familiarize yourself with it a few more times."
"I'll have someone call you when it's time to eat."
Looking at Qian Renxue's back as she left after giving instructions, Pei Qing showed a trace of gratitude on his face.
It should be said that Qian Renxue is truly good to him. Not only did she help him hunt for soul rings, but she also gifted him a precious storage soul guidance device.
One must remember that he and Xue Qinghe, played by Qian Renxue, had only known each other for two days.
Even though the other party's actions are mostly because of his Golden Crow Martial Soul, a gentleman judges by deeds rather than by heart. No matter what, he has received a favor.
Since he has received a favor from her, he should repay it.
Pei Qing believed he couldn't be the kind of person who would eat with a full bowl and then curse the provider.
After following Qian Renxue's arrangements, Pei Qing was possessed by the martial soul again. Black and golden wings appeared behind him, flapping slowly, lifting Pei Qing into the sky.
The gorgeous soul ring behind him flickered slightly; his aura rose layer by layer. His black hair fluttered, and his once-handsome face became more majestic. The true sun fire flowed continuously over his body.
The golden eyes flickered slightly, and a domineering aura appeared on his face. A large amount of true sun fire condensed in front of him, forming a huge palm that fell directly into the small river beside him.
The sizzling mist floated into the air. Even though Pei Qing was only six years old, he looked majestic and extraordinary under the background of the true sun fire.
"Good!"
Qian Renxue stood by the river, hands behind her back, watching the evaporating water, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She knew very well how terrifying the temperature of Pei Qing's True Sun Fire was, but seeing it now, she couldn't help but admire it aloud.
To test himself, Pei Qing condensed the True Sun Fire into his palm and dropped it seven or eight times. Only then did he feel that his soul power was insufficient, so he retrieved his martial soul and fell to the ground again.
"True Sun Fire consumes too much soul power. I am level 13, but I can only use it seven or eight times. It seems I need to work harder!"
Qian Renxue, standing nearby, heard this and twitched her mouth. She suddenly wanted to teach this ignorant brat a lesson.
"After I return, I will arrange martial soul training for you. Xiaoqing, are you going to Heaven Dou Academy now, or wait until later to study?"
Qian Renxue still didn't teach Pei Qing a lesson. She kept reassuring herself that she possessed a God-level martial soul and innate soul power of level twenty, and it took her many attempts to control herself from lecturing this pretentious kid, Pei Qing.
"What do you think, Brother Xue?"
Pei Qing didn't care. If he entered Heaven Dou Academy early, he could get to know some characters from the original story in advance—and maybe even win over some of them.
For example, Ye Lingling with the Nine-Hearted Flowering Apple martial soul, and other geniuses.
If he stayed in the Prince's Mansion, he could still learn what he needed and have more time to practice.
"Then stay in the Prince's Mansion, and go to Heaven Dou Academy after you break through level 30."
"Upon our return, I will specifically find someone to teach you about soul beasts. You must study hard; the future of the empire will rely on you to protect it."
Qian Renxue thought for a moment. Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the best in the Heaven Dou Empire, the people there are mixed. If you pick up a brick from the roadside and throw it, it could hit a noble.
The children of those nobles were often unruly, and if Pei Qing were led astray by them, it wouldn't be good.
Qian Renxue hesitated briefly and finally made up her mind.
"I will work hard and never let you down, Brother Xue."
Pei Qing nodded slightly, patted his chest, looked at Qian Renxue seriously, and said,
"I believe you!"
Qian Renxue looked at Pei Qing, with his black hair and golden eyes, appearing serious and earnest, and felt very satisfied.
She had already decided to cultivate Pei Qing well.
That woman had cultivated someone named Hu Liena and even called them the Golden Generation.
'Heh, my dear sister, let's see.
Whose genius is the true genius.'
"Your Highness, Young Master Pei, dinner is ready!"
The captain of the guards approached and bowed respectfully to Qian Renxue.
"Well, Xiaoqing, let's go to dinner!"
Pei Qing's eyes fell on the distant table, which held dishes such as a thousand-year-old stewed bear paw, a hundred-year-old sea fish, and a hundred-year-old earth dragon tendons.
The food was so rich it was almost outrageous. Eating these every day would boost his soul power several times faster than eating ordinary food.
The body of a soul master needs much more nutrition than that of ordinary people to grow.
This made Pei Qing think of Shrek Academy. Judging by the food, Tang San and the others were the protagonists—otherwise, their nutrition probably wouldn't keep up.
After dinner, Pei Qing went straight into his tent.
He practiced the Taiyi Breathing Technique, continuously absorbing soul power into his body.
The soul power circulated through his meridians, transforming into increased soul power.
Pei Qing's consciousness entered the sea of consciousness again, transforming into the sun.
Within the slightly rotating sun, a three-legged golden crow was bred.
Compared to Pei Qing's ordinary golden crow, the one bred by the sun in his sea of consciousness was a true three-legged golden crow.
With continuous brooding, Pei Qing could feel his soul power and overall strength improving.
He had a hunch that when his Taiyi Breathing Technique was perfected, he would truly be able to nurture a Three-legged Golden Crow.
Pei Qing didn't know how powerful the real three-legged golden crow was, but it was undoubtedly far more formidable than the six-winged angel.
After practicing all night, Pei Qing felt his soul power grow, and he believed he could break through to level 14 in a little over a month.
In a year, he should be able to reach levels 15 or 16, and in just over a year, breaking through level 20 should be no problem.
As a cultivator with true innate full soul power, Pei Qing is more talented than Tang San, who cultivated innate full soul power through Mysterious Heaven Skill.

T/N: this is a Chinese author's works so don't think too much about the author putting the three-legged golden crow martial soul above God-level martial soul. After all these authors always put their Chinese mythology above other mythologies.
