First Astral Soul

Near Qin Clan Manor

A boy can be seen sleeping under the tree, with his arm behind his head. The weather is fairly cold and a fairly strong wind is blowing. The boy's hair was blown away by the wind, but it does not disturb him at all.

His face looks so happy as if he had a good dream. The boy was of course the protagonist of this novel. Uchiha D. Ryu.

The reader must be wondering what happened after the last chapter. But the Author was so lazy that he skipped whatever happened to Ryu in the River of Heaven Path.

He said it's such a drag.

Therefore, he chose the Perfect Dream Astral Soul for Ryu.

When Ryu formed an innate link with it, he would gain the ability to increase his cultivation by merely sleeping and dreaming. Anything that happens inside his dream will come true. However, The effect of the dream will only be limited to his well being.

If he tries to dream of having sex with a Goddess, that dream will not come true. But any skill he practiced during that time such as dual cultivation will be imprinted in his mind. So, even if he is a virgin, his activities during his first time will look like a veteran.

With how much knowledge inside the Pandora Book, Ryu can learn and practice them inside his dream while keeping his low profile. He does not need to be careful when practicing Godly Technique and etc. inside his dream.

Amazingly, he can practice Alchemy and Forgery without wasting material.

Now that the reader already knows what kind of Astral Soul Ryu posses as his first Astral Soul. Don't ask why Ryu was sleeping under the tree. He is dreaming so Shhh...

Later

Ryu regained consciousness in the middle of the night, and as he shooked his head, his heart thumped in confusion.

"How long did I slept? Why nobody wakes me up?" Ryu mumbled as if he was trying to recall something, and he suddenly closed his eyes, entering into a meditative state. The next moment, a ray of dazzling light lit up the surrounding lake, and around Ryu's body, a gold-colored gas appeared. It was incomparably resplendent — as if it was interwoven from starlight.

"Success! To think that I'd successfully condense my Astral Soul from the River of Heaven Path. I must be the only person who did this, right? Now, I just need to find a good spot so that I can unleash my Astral Soul full potential. A King bed size with a thick comforter would be nice." Ryu muttered to himself.

Standing up, Ryu feels his cultivation has breakthrough into early Arterial Circulation. Now the time and resources need to increase his rank will be much higher than before. Despite that, he does not worry, he's still 7 years old and there's a lot of time and resources in multiverses for him to rob, I mean absorb.

Unknown to Ryu, the maids already came to wake him up around 2 hours ago. Unfortunately, before they can come close to him, they fell to the ground unconscious.

The same situation happened again when they send more maids to go near him but they all ended up sleeping.

His Perfect Dream Astral soul was activated accidentally to protect his body from any harm while he's sleeping. Not that any of the maids have any intention to cause harm to him in the first place.

After reporting the situation to the Patriarch, they were ordered to leave him there as Qin Chuan assured that nothing could go wrong. Besides, the lake was within the Qin Clan Manor. Who dares to make trouble in their Clan Territory and his son just taking a deep nap. Nothing to worry, right?

Later

As Ryu walked back to his room, but a maid appeared and escorted him directly to the Dine Hall.

"Greetings father, mother," said Ryu as he entered the Dine Hall.

"Ryu, wash your hand first and seat. You sure take your time sleeping at the lake. Did you have fun then?" asked Qin Chuan as he chuckled lightly seeing Ryu doing just fine.

'Told you, my instinct was always right. Nothing could go wrong. Hohoho.'

But before Ryu could say anything, he was hugged by his mother as tears can be seen from her eyes.

"You make me so worried. Your father didn't allow me to come closer to you, I don't know what to do. Are you okay?" said Su Ling as she scanned Ryu's body from head to toe.

After giving birth to Qin Yao, she was no longer the same mother who was overprotective of her son but seeing a particular situation like this could still cause her worried.

Qin Chuan had to calm her down by reminding her how he first met Ryu and promised to let few maids to stay watching him from afar, only then she could calm herself and put her trust on Ryu to keep himself safe.

"I'm sorry mother, I'm fine. Don't worry. By the way, I've good news, want to hear them?" said Ryu as an idea came to his mind.

"I want to hear too, tell me, brother. tell me," said Qin Yao, his little cute sister.

"Me too, me too," said Qin Wentian as he joined the conversation.

"Let's hear them then." Answered Qin Chuan, while Su Ling sits back at her seat.

"This evening, while sleeping under the tree, I dreamed of meeting someone, He looked just like me, but much older and handsome. He teaches me a lot of things and wanted to give both you and mom a gift. He told me to remind you not to share it with anyone else. As for little Yao and little Wentian, he will come again in my dream when the time is right." Explained Ryu with a poker face.

"Go on, what the things he wants to give us?" Asked Qin Chuan.

"Come here, he told me to think about the gift and put my finger on your forehead," explained Ryu.

As always, Qin Chuan did not ask anything. 5 years ago when Ryu gave him the medicine recipe, Ryu holds him with both hands to transfer the knowledge. Then suddenly, he got the recipe with its effect.

No one except Su Ling knew that the medicine recipe came from Ryu. The other clansmen thought it was a miracle. Of course, it is miracle in the form of Ryu.

The moment Ryu's finger touched Qin Chuan's forehead, a wave of knowledge entered his mind.

'Yin Yang Refinement Method'

This is a dual cultivation Technique. Best used only with a soulmate. If used with other people than their soulmate, the effect will decrease exponentially. Very suitable for a couple of husband and wife.

If a baby was born because of this technique, the talent and potential of the baby will surely surpass his/her parent.

Last time Qin Chuan was at the peak of Arterial Circulation Realm. 7 years later he became one of the top Cultivators in the Chu Country and became a Yuanfu Realm Cultivator. But he still stuck at the 1st level of Yuanfu Realm.

As for Su Ling, her cultivation stayed at the 5th stage of Arterial Circulation Realm.

Both Qin Chuan and Su Ling were still young. If they start using this technique they might give another little brother or sister to Ryu, Qin Yao, and Qin Wentian.

Ahem, I mean they might breakthrough to Yuanfu or even Heavenly Dipper Realm within a year. But the former was also true.

Yin Yang Refinement Method was not limited by only intercourse. Just simple action of holding-hands can slightly increase their cultivation, but not as efficient as the former.

Qin Chuan was speechless. He never expected that his son who he adopted 7 years ago would give him such gift.

He could accept the Cultivation Technique or Medicine Recipe, but Dual Cultivation Technique was out of his expectation.

'I wonder..'
