In the valley, the black light receded.
Di Tian's figure fully solidified. His oppressive eyes swept across the surroundings rapidly, and only after confirming no powerful enemies were lurking did he fix his gaze on Wang Qiuer.
"Auspicious Beast, why did you use the Outrage? Who is threatening you?" Di Tian's voice was deep, carrying a sternness that brooked no offense.
The reason he arrived so quickly was precisely because he had sensed the Aura of the Auspicious Beast's True Blood through the connection with that Outrage.
To him, the safety of the Auspicious Beast was above all else.
Wang Qiuer shook her head, her expression serious and urgent. She didn't waste words and spoke directly: "Di Tian, I am in no danger."
"I called you here because I want you to tell me about the knowledge of soul core condensation, especially the handling methods after spirit power transforms from liquid to solid, and how to construct a stable soul core architecture."
After listening, Di Tian stood frozen in place.
His violent Aura, originally prepared to face an enemy, instantly stalled, and an extremely bewildered expression appeared on his face.
"You want to learn about soul cores?" Di Tian frowned, his eyes full of doubt.
"You have only just transformed into human form not long ago. Your current cultivation is still a very long way from condensing a soul core."
"A soul core is the Foundation for impacting higher Realms. Telling you now will be of no benefit to you, and might even interfere with your perception of your Origin."
Wang Qiuer took a deep breath and recounted exactly what she had observed at the academy, as well as the current anomalies appearing in Liu Yuan's body.
She particularly emphasized the current situation where the spirit power inside Liu Yuan's body had spontaneously solidified and his Meridians were severely damaged.
As Di Tian listened to Wang Qiuer's narration, his gaze gradually shifted from bewilderment to shock, finally turning into a deep contemplation.
"Seventeen years old, Rank 73, spontaneous solidification of spirit power?" Di Tian repeated this information in a low voice.
As the only Beast God in the world to possess Yin and Yang complementary dual soul cores, he knew all too well what this implied.
This meant that the human named Liu Yuan might be able to successfully condense his first soul core now. Then, when he becomes a Titled Douluo, he could condense a second soul core, and even upon reaching Rank 99, it's possible he could condense a third soul core...
This human's future is truly limitless...
However, Di Tian only briefly followed this line of thought.
A moment later, Di Tian showed an expression of sudden realization.
He looked at Wang Qiuer, and there was actually a hint of relief and praise in his eyes.
"I see. Auspicious Beast, you are indeed far-sighted," Di Tian nodded, speaking to himself.
"You want to take advantage of this critical moment of life and death to give him this top-secret knowledge, using it to exchange for his absolute trust."
"This human possesses many secrets. If we can thoroughly win him over to our Spirit Beast camp through this method, it would indeed have inestimable value for the Lord's great plan of restoration."
"For the future of Spirit Beasts, you actually didn't hesitate to consume your True Blood to summon me. This Heart-Nature, I, Di Tian, admire it."
Wang Qiuer was somewhat dumbfounded listening to Di Tian's analysis.
She opened her mouth, wanting to explain that she actually hadn't thought that far ahead at all.
She simply didn't want to see the benefactor who had saved her die for no reason. That heart-wrenching feeling she got when seeing him in pain was the sole motivation for her actions.
But seeing Di Tian's "I understand you" look, Wang Qiuer knew explaining would be useless, and time was pressing.
"Di Tian, regardless of what you think, teach me the knowledge first," Wang Qiuer urged.
Di Tian did not hesitate further.
Since the Auspicious Beast was performing a mission of "infiltration and recruitment," he naturally had to cooperate fully.
He extended a finger, a point of black light condensing at the tip, and then began to systematically explain the structural principles of a soul core to Wang Qiuer.
"The transition of spirit power from liquid to solid is an inevitable result of quantitative change leading to qualitative change."
"But solid spirit power is extremely heavy and sharp. If there is no core to guide it, it will indeed destroy the Meridians."
"Tell him not to try and forcibly suppress those crystals, but rather to follow the attributes of his twin Spirits. His twin Spirits are one of Water, and one of Space and Dragon; these are themselves excellent mediums."
"Let him try to guide the solid spirit power in the form of a 'vortex,' seeking a point of balance within the opposing rotations."
"This is the embryonic form of Yin and Yang complementarity. Though dangerous, it is a good path."
Di Tian explained very meticulously, from the arrangement of spirit power to the micro-manipulation of mental force, holding nothing back.
With the help of the Eye of Destiny, Wang Qiuer forcibly imprinted this obscure and difficult knowledge into her mind.
Half an hour later, the explanation ended.
"I've remembered it all," Wang Qiuer nodded to Di Tian. "I'm going back now."
"Go then," Di Tian waved his hand. Looking in the direction where Wang Qiuer disappeared as a golden light, he remarked with a relieved tone.
"For the future of our Spirit Beasts, for the Lord's mission, the Auspicious Beast is truly working hard."
"Even going so far as to lower her status to please a human, this spirit of sacrifice is something even I, Di Tian, feel inferior to."
...
Meanwhile, in Bright Capital.
Wang Qiuer traveled quickly without stopping, following the location she had inquired about in her memory to arrive directly in front of Liu Yuan's Dukes Mansion.
The defenses of the Dukes Mansion were extremely tight, especially during such a special period.
Just as Wang Qiuer approached the main gate, a bone-chilling Aura instantly locked onto her.
The Snow Empress's figure appeared silently atop the eaves. She looked down at Wang Qiuer from a height, her eyes filled with deep vigilance.
"Who are you, and what are you here for?" The Snow Empress's voice was cold as frost.
Although the Snow Empress was powerful, her situation was unique, and ordinary people could not see through her disguise.
"I am his classmate. I have urgent business with Liu Yuan regarding his health," Wang Qiuer looked up, her expression calm.
"He is Cultivating and is at a critical moment. He cannot see anyone for the time being," the Snow Empress refused directly. She knew Liu Yuan's spirit power was currently chaotic and would never allow outsiders to disturb him.
Wang Qiuer didn't get angry. She sat down on a stone step by the main gate and said in a peaceful tone: "I know he is Cultivating, and I also know what difficulties he has encountered."
"Since I can't see him now, I will wait here. When he is willing to see me, I will go in."
The Snow Empress looked at the golden figure sitting at the gate, her brow furrowing slightly.
She could feel that there was no Killing Intent on Wang Qiuer; instead, she emitted a kind of sincere anxiety.
"Suit yourself," the Snow Empress snorted coldly, her figure vanishing into the darkness again, though her mental force remained locked on Wang Qiuer.
Wang Qiuer sat on the stone step, resting her chin in her hands.
She could feel the constantly fluctuating violent Aura deep within the Dukes Mansion.
"Liu Yuan, you must hold on."
She looked at the tightly closed gates of the Dukes Mansion and thought silently in her heart.
