With both martial souls confirmed, Su Yuxuan no longer hesitated.
He sat down on the wooden floor of his room, crossing his legs into a lotus position.
The cultivation manual lay open before him.
Although he had already memorized every line, he read through the opening passage one final time.
«Calm the heart.»
«Steady the breath.»
«Guide the soul power naturally.»
«Do not force it.»
Yuxuan slowly closed his eyes.
The room fell silent.
His breathing became long and even.
Following the circulation route described in the manual, he gently guided the soul power within his body.
A faint stream of energy slowly flowed through his meridians.
It wasn't violent.
Nor was it difficult to control.
Everything progressed naturally, like a gentle stream winding through a quiet valley.
"So this... this is cultivation."
Yuxuan couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Although he had read countless descriptions in his previous life, personally experiencing soul power was an entirely different feeling.
Warm.
Comfortable.
Every complete circulation seemed to wash away the day's fatigue.
His mind gradually became empty.
There were no distracting thoughts, only the rhythmic flow of soul power throughout his body.
One circulation.
Then another.
Without realizing it, he became completely immersed in cultivation.
Time quietly slipped away.
...
When Yuxuan slowly opened his eyes again, golden sunlight was already shining through the window.
"Huh?"
He blinked in surprise.
"So it's morning already?"
He hadn't even noticed the passing of the night, tretching his slightly stiff shoulders, he smiled helplessly.
"I actually cultivated the entire night."
Just as he was about to stand
"Grrr..."
A loud protest echoed from his stomach.
Yuxuan froze before laughing.
"I know."
"I know."
He rubbed his stomach.
"Cultivation doesn't replace eating."
After spending an entire night circulating soul power, his body had consumed a considerable amount of energy.
Naturally he was starving.
---
Walking into the dining room, he found breakfast already waiting on the table.
Fresh vegetable porridge.
Steamed buns.
A plate of sliced rabbit meat.
Everything was still warm.
Yuxuan smiled unconsciously.
"Grandpa"
Old Jack had already gone to the fields before sunrise.
Yet despite his busy schedule, he still woke early every morning to prepare breakfast.
That simple act of care warmed Yuxuan's heart more than any luxurious meal ever could.
"I'll have to repay Grandpa properly in the future."
He sat down and began eating, his appetite had increased even further after awakening as a soul master.
Fortunately.
The rabbit meat provided enough nourishment to satisfy his growing body.
As he ate, a memory suddenly surfaced.
His chopsticks paused.
"Blue Silver Grass." His eyes lit up.
His grandmother's cultivation notes had mentioned something interesting.
Although martial souls themselves couldn't usually change their surroundings.
The opposite was possible.
Cultivating in an environment closely aligned with one's martial soul often produced better results.
Fire-attributed soul masters preferred volcanoes.
Water-attributed soul masters cultivated near rivers or lakes.
Plant-attributed soul masters benefited from forests filled with vegetation.
It wasn't a dramatic improvement.
But over months and years, the accumulated effect became worthwhile.
Yuxuan lowered his gaze toward the Blue Silver Grass outside the window.
, then he remembered another detail from the original novel.
Tang San often cultivated among vast fields of Blue Silver Grass to better resonate with his martial soul.
Even if Tang San's method relied partly on the special nature of the Blue Silver Emperor.
The underlying principle should still apply.
"I should give it a try."
---
After finishing breakfast, Yuxuan washed the dishes before leaving the house.
He ran toward the hill behind Holy Spirit Village.
It wasn't particularly tall.
However.
Its gentle slopes were covered almost entirely by wild Blue Silver Grass, the endless sea of blue swayed gently beneath the morning breeze.
Standing among the grass, Yuxuan smiled.
"This should be enough."
He found a quiet spot.
Sat cross-legged.
Closed his eyes once more.
The intermediate cultivation technique began circulating automatically.
Before long something changed.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass swayed softly, Although no visible energy entered his body
Yuxuan felt strangely comfortable.
The soul power circulating through his meridians seemed smoother than before.
Less resistance.
Greater harmony.
Even his breathing unconsciously synchronized with the gentle movement of the grass around him.
"So it really works."
He remained completely still.
His senses gradually expanded.
The countless blades of Blue Silver Grass surrounding him seemed almost familiar.
Not conscious.
Not alive in the way animals were.
Yet they possessed an astonishing vitality.
They endured scorching summers.
Freezing winters.
Heavy rain.
Strong winds.
Again and again.
No matter how many times they were trampled.
They continued growing.
An ordinary plant.
Yet one overflowing with life.
Yuxuan suddenly understood.
"So this is the essence of Blue Silver Grass."
It wasn't power.
It wasn't offense.
It was vitality.
Resilience.
Adaptability.
As long as even a single blade remained, it would continue growing.
A faint smile appeared on Yuxuan's face.
"Then..."
"I'll make that my foundation."
"If Blue Silver Grass possesses endless vitality, I'll cultivate that vitality until it becomes my greatest strength."
Perhaps his martial soul would never rival the Clear Sky Hammer in destructive power.
Perhaps it would never possess overwhelming offensive ability.
But if he could fully understand the strengths of Blue Silver Grass instead of lamenting its weaknesses.
Then even this so-called trash martial soul might one day surprise the world.
With that thought in mind, Su Yuxuan once again immersed himself in cultivation, surrounded by the endless sea of gently swaying Blue Silver Grass.
