Chapter 4: Become Bibi Dong's Apprentice
Just like two languages, while they may convey the same meaning, the sounds they produce differ.
This difference exists between the meridians of a monkey and that of a human.
However, Sun Qi and the little stone monkey share a close bond. The connection between Spirit Master and Spirit makes them a kind of translator, allowing Sun Qi to switch versions without any delay. The process couldn't be smoother.
While imitating the little stone monkey, Sun Qi gradually formed the opinion that he and the little stone monkey were mutually hindering each other.
The little stone monkey, having become independent, developed a physique naturally suited to Spirit cultivation, while Sun Qi, was in a worse situation. His Spirit had been stripped of its essence, and his talent was naturally limited.
This problem couldn't be solved.
However, Sun Qi could try to compensate for the resulting gap by relying on the underlying reasoning.
Since the talent gap arose because of the little stone monkey's physique, he could use the little stone monkey's qualifications to fill the gap.
The little stone monkey's instinctive Spirit Power, transformed into that of a human Spirit Master, could potentially become a complete cultivation technique.
And a highly advanced one at that.
To verify this, Sun Qi had the other Sun Qis try it out, confirming its powerful effectiveness.
Among them, Cloud Sun Qi, Armor Sun Qi, and Twin Sun Qi, each affiliated with a different faction, now possessed advanced meditation techniques.
They practiced the Stone Monkey's technique and discovered that it perfectly replaced the Spirit Power portion of their current advanced meditation techniques.
Remember, this was only Sun Qi's initial translation, the initial exploration of the little stone monkey's instincts.
Over time, the little stone monkey's exploration of his instincts would become increasingly sophisticated. Under Sun Qi's guidance, he would consciously refine his practice and hone his Spirit Power. With his talent, he might even be able to elevate his cultivation technique to a higher level!
Sun Qi directly instructed the other six original bodies to also practice the Stone Monkey's technique.
Firstly, it was to prepare for the future fusion of the seven Spirits, allowing them to have a portion of their Spirit Power that would be compatible with the Stone Monkey's.
Secondly, he also benefited from it; the Stone Monkey's cultivation techniques practiced by other bodies could actually enhance his own cultivation.
"This part should be considered spiritual refinement, but in concrete terms, it's achieved through physical refinement. This wave is a resonance between mind and body."
This was truly a surprise to him.
"Now with this blessing, I feel that breaking through to level ten in three years is not a dream." Sun Qi was now full of motivation.
His side was exploring quite smoothly, but Seal Sun Qi, the other first-level innate cultivator, was having a hard time.
Seal Sun Qi thought to himself, what the hell is this? He couldn't figure out the direction of this Spirit at all, and his innate Spirit Power was only level one!
If Sun Qi's aptitude was affected because the Stone Monkey took away his essence, then what about Seal Sun Qi's?
Did he lack talent?
Seal Sun Qi cursed to himself.
Sun Qi was basically in a state of rest, responsible for research on the development of the Spirits among the seven entities. For now, he was focusing on theoretical research, hoping to receive feedback from the other entities as soon as possible, enjoy the Immortal Herbs, and change his fate.
...
Spirit City.
Orphanage.
Twin Sun Qi has a separate room, fully equipped and of the highest standard.
He was born in the Spirit Hall. His parents were deacons who died accidentally during a soul hunting operation, and he was taken in by the orphanage. Because of his parents' status, his conditions in the orphanage were relatively good.
It seems that he was just a deacon, but it depends on the situation.
The deacon of the Spirit Hall in Spirit City has a high status. He is responsible for the operation of a certain department of the Spirit Hall. In terms of status, he may not be the top leader of the Spirit Hall in a big city like Soto City, but he is more or less in the top five.
It is worth mentioning that all seven Sun Qis are orphans.
With the awakening of the Spirit, the status of Twin Sun Qi skyrocketed.
It is said that it directly alarmed the Pope. He is born with full Spirit Power and is the orphan of a Spirit Hall deacon. This status is directly maxed out.
The most shocking thing is his Spirit, a twin Spirit!
With such talent, who else can teach him except the Pope?
Even the several major titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall are discussing privately that this Sun Qi must be accepted as a disciple by the Pope.
As for what to do if the Pope doesn't accept him?
The great Titled Douluo would happily go and recruit him.
Full innate Spirit Power is already impressive, but with twin Spirits, even Titled Douluos would drool at the sight.
This is basically a guaranteed shot at becoming a Titled Douluo!
While cultivating twin Spirits carries risks, with only a few historical examples of successful cultivation, this isn't a problem, as the only successful one was in the Spirit Hall.
Even if the Pope doesn't accept this disciple, he wouldn't refuse even a single favor, right?
Of course, rejecting a disciple is out of the question.
Seven days after Twin Sun Qi's twin Spirits awakened, he was sitting cross-legged in meditation when he sensed an abnormality in the air pressure in the room.
He opened his eyes and saw three strangers.
Though they had suppressed their aura, their aura was still terrifying. Leading them was a stunningly beautiful, noble woman with a fair complexion and a flawless appearance. Her noble and elegant demeanor commanded even greater admiration.
She was naturally Bibi Dong.
On either side of her were her most capable subordinates, Yue Douluo and Gui Mei.
"Greetings to the Pope!"
Twin Sun Qi saluted.
"Sun Qi, your talent is the best in this generation of Spirit Hall. Are you interested in becoming my disciple?" Bibi Dong didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.
Twin Sun Qi didn't hesitate and performed the ceremony of becoming her disciple.
"Disciple is willing."
He had already thought about it. The seven bodies could develop different relationship backgrounds.
Twin Sun Qi was born in Spirit City. With his talent that shocked the top leaders, it was natural for him to follow the path of Spirit Hall. He would climb up this path, step by step to the top.
Now, his chance has come.
"Well, your Spirit aptitude is excellent. I will make an exception and accept you as my disciple directly, but it will only be a nominal disciple. In the next few years, you will study and practice at the Spirit Master Academy. I will guide you for one day every month. When you break through to Soul Elder, I will officially accept you as my disciple and hold a ceremony for you to become my disciple."
Bibi Dong looked at Twin Sun Qi, her aloof demeanor dissipating as she adopted a gentle demeanor.
Twin Sun Qi had no objections.
"I'll follow the teacher's instructions."
"Well, Gui Mei will help you with your enrollment. You can ask him for help if you encounter any difficulties."
Although it was a free-range strategy, Bibi Dong had, in reality, arranged a "nanny" for Twin Sun Qi.
