  "What did you say? What deep mountain and old forest?"

  Xiao Wu's heartbeat slowed down by a beat, almost wanting to flee, but she held back and pretended to be confused.

  "It's just a metaphor."

  Tang San walked to the edge of the pool, his back facing Xiao Wu.

  "Hu~"

  Xiao Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also walked to the edge of the pool, and asked, "What are you looking at the pool for? The fish inside are so big."

  There were several carp in the pool, attracting Xiao Wu's attention.

  "Have you ever thought about walking on the water surface?" Tang San suddenly asked.

  "Walk on the water surface? This is impossible, I don't have such a soul skill." Xiao Wu shook her head like a rattle, and the scorpion braid behind her head swung back and forth, making Tang San almost unable to resist pulling it.

  "This is to train our control over soul power."

  Tang San looked at the jujube tree next to him, condensed his soul power under his feet, rushed towards it, and then ran on the trunk.

  He only ran five meters high and fell down.

  And on the trunk, there were also footprints left by him.

  "This is my idea, to condense the soul power on the soles of the feet, run along the trees, until one day I can use the soul power to attach to the tree pole and not fall down, which means that my control accuracy of the soul power has reached an extremely strong level."

  Tang San stood still and explained to Xiao Wu, "And after that, it is the next stage, walking on the water surface, or even running on the flowing water surface."

  "If you can do this, it means that our control over soul power has reached a realm of perfection, and we can rely on soul power to walk, run, or even hang upside down on the surface of any thing."

  Xiao Wu was incredulous, because she felt that according to Tang San's words, it seemed that he could really rely on soul power to do such things.

  Is this human?

  Really smart!

  "Did you think of this?" Xiao Wu couldn't help asking.

  "No." Tang San said, "I have seen someone do this, but I don't know the specific method, I can only imitate, but it has great benefits for strengthening our control over soul power."

  Xiao Wu couldn't tell the truth from the false, so she believed it, and also started to try to climb the tree with her feet, but she didn't run more than a meter, and she fell down.

  "Ouch!"

  Xiao Wu, who was covering her butt, got up with a grin, and said to Tang San, "You should put a cushion underneath."

  "That won't work, with a cushion, you will think of being lazy, and your first soul skill is not the waist bow? Before falling down, you can use a similar method to twist your waist and let yourself land steadily on the ground, which is also a kind of exercise for your own soul skill." Tang San refuted Xiao Wu's suggestion and provided his own suggestion.

  "Okay, okay, you have the final say, but why do I have to listen to you, really." Xiao Wu muttered, but still continued to practice, and Tang San also used the same jujube tree to practice climbing the tree.

  The trunk with a diameter of fifty centimeters was enough for two people to practice from two different directions.

  In this way, the two practiced for a morning.

  Tang San's highest point was only seven meters, while Xiao Wu hovered at two or three meters.

  "So tired." Xiao Wu complained, "But this thing requires a lot of control over soul power, too much soul power, the bark will be crushed, too little soul power, and it won't stick."

  "For beginners, it is indeed a bit difficult, even for me, I'm afraid it will take some time to be able to walk upright on things like trees." Tang San realized that soul power and chakra are not the same thing, chakra is in the setting, it is the combination of mental energy and cellular energy, it can be regarded as the combination of essence and spirit in the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit, it comes entirely from oneself, and it should be easier to control.

  And soul power, can be regarded as the "qi" in the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit, it is refined by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world, and it is indeed a bit troublesome to control.   

  Just like him, he has the means of controlling the crane and capturing the dragon, which is stronger than most soul masters in controlling soul power, but the progress is still so slow, let alone other soul masters.

  However, he was able to run seven meters, proving that this method has a great effect on the precision of controlling soul power, and if he can do what he imagined, he might really master the extraordinary power of soul power, and by then, any self-created soul skill that relies on soul power, he can do it with ease.

  "Let's go eat, you treat, after all, I am your guinea pig." Xiao Wu rubbed her somewhat flattened belly and said to Tang San, "Using soul power to exercise, it's really extravagant, and I'm hungry too."

  "Okay, I'll treat."

  Tang San smiled bitterly, and was reminded by Xiao Wu, he remembered that he should find a way to make money, otherwise he couldn't afford the consumption of research and cultivation.

  Also, he needs to find a blacksmith shop to forge iron.

  It's not that he wants to be a godsmith or something, after all, he doesn't have any memory of hidden weapons, and as for handmade thermal weapons... forgive him, he doesn't understand the principle, even if he does, he can't do it by hand.

  The main reason is that the chaotic cloak hammer method is a kind of hammering method that uses force to strike, and it can also exercise the whole body's muscles and bones through vibration, thereby strengthening the physique.

  More importantly, if he can master the more essential ability through the chaotic cloak hammer method: vibration, then his future can be said to be limitless.

  After leaving the backyard, Tang San took Xiao Wu to find Ma Xiunuo, and said, "Grandpa Ma Xiunuo, we are going to have lunch, do you want to go with us?"

  "No, as the lord of the sub-hall, I have to report the crime situation in the city to the higher-level Spirit Hall every month, and tomorrow is the time to submit the report, I have to hurry up and sort it out."

  Ma Xiunuo shook his head, and then remembered something, called Tang San to his side, handed over a bulging brown small bag, and said, "Little Tang, that thousand-root banyan was sent to the auction house in Nuoding City, and the starting price was five hundred gold soul coins, and finally it was bought by a carving master for two thousand gold soul coins."

  "I know, you won't take advantage, but in soul hunting, the soul beast that is hunted belongs to the soul master who obtains the soul ring, and the helper who helps to hunt, according to the effort, gets the corresponding share."

  "Therefore, I took eight hundred, Su Yuntao and Sisi each took three hundred, and the remaining six hundred belonged to you."

  Tang San took the small bag and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Ma Xiunuo."

  "You don't have to be so polite, this is what you deserve, if it weren't for you saying that this thousand-root banyan is valuable to carvers, we wouldn't know that this thing is so valuable." Ma Xiunuo sighed, "Who would have thought that a tree is so valuable, higher than my monthly salary."

  After chatting with Ma Xiunuo for a few words, Tang San didn't bother Ma Xiunuo's busy work, just said that he would help bring food when he came back, and left the Spirit Hall with Xiao Wu.

  "You got six hundred gold soul coins, I need six hundred months to get it from the Spirit Hall." Xiao Wu said innocently, "You are rich!"

  "Although I have money, please rest assured, except for occasionally treating guests, I will never lend you to waste." Tang San cut off Xiao Wu's crooked thoughts, "This is all needed for research and cultivation."

  "So stingy." Xiao Wu looked resentful, coquettishly, just like a little girl, "And, why work so hard to cultivate?"

  　About other transmigrators.

  　　Three words: information gap.

  　　It doesn't matter if other transmigrators know that Tang San is the same kind, this is the protagonist's character, he can't pretend, and he will be discovered if he is discovered.

  　　The information gap refers to the fact that other transmigrators are afraid of Tang Hao's strength, and they don't know whether Tang Hao is with Tang San at this time.

  　　To catch a rabbit, Tang Hao is a hurdle they can't get around.

  　　Dare to steal the Blue Silver Emperor, not to say that you can beat Tang Hao, if you can beat him, you don't need to steal, after all, with the nature of most fanfic protagonists, just grab it, isn't it a bigger and better blow to Tang Hao?

  　　···Maybe it was just a coincidence that I found the place where the Blue Silver Emperor was (this is a spoiler outline), after all, the soul bone was still there, which shows that the other party couldn't find where the soul bone was hidden, couldn't break the hole wall, and was not strong.

  　　Also, I have been describing Tang San's life perspective before, emphasizing that this is a real world, and it is also a foreshadowing······

  　　The rest of the transmigrators will not be very awesome, at least in the early and middle stages, there will definitely not be any system-type transmigrators, writing that kind, it will definitely collapse very badly, shouldn't the author also arrange a system for Tang San? That would be too rigid.
