What about your head?” Qing Song frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he had sensed a fleeting, peculiar fluctuation emanating from her Ni Gong Wan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it an illusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should my head feel like?” Xiao Yu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Song said: “Innate talents may awaken in the flesh and blood, or in the soul, or through the union of spirit and body, triggering powerful great talents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primary effect of the Shen Shen Dan is to forcibly awaken dormant innate talents within the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the talent resides in the flesh, a warm current sinks into the body; if it resides in the soul, a cool energy surges upward into the mind, acting upon the spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your sensation of heat indicates you indeed possess an unawakened talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you shouldn’t feel heat only in your body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu’s heart stirred—“Can one person awaken two different innate talents?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the violet light that had carried her soul across realms have fused with her soul, becoming a talent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Purple Palace is a talent, then she already has two?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those with innate talents are one in ten thousand; two innate talents... they’ve appeared before, but I doubt you’re blessed enough to have them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked about your soul’s condition to determine whether your talent requires spirit-flesh unity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talents awakened through spirit-flesh unity are generally great talents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, your adoptive father’s Thousand-Mile Eyes—its awakening involved both the soul and the development of bloodline organs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having explained this far, Qing Song’s patience was exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately pressed his left hand onto Xiao Yu’s head, while his right index finger glowed with faint golden light, gently touching her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after doing this did he snap: “Don’t move. Let me examine your body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu instinctively struggled, but Qing Song moved too fast—his fingertip had barely touched her brow when a cool “immortal qi” surged through her Ni Gong Wan into her spiritual sea, roaming freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little rogue Daoist claimed he was checking her body, but he was really probing her soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, at the instant Qing Song moved, her Purple Palace—like a giant grass carp startled by a fisherman’s hook—shot away instantly, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Song didn’t come away empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you encountered anything recently?

How should I cultivate this innate talent?” Xiao Yu asked Qing Song, her eyes bright with joy and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sword bones... I actually don’t know much about them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Qing Song Daoist Boy continued: “Any innate ability or strange technique can be called a talent; talents vary immensely, and their types are countless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the children you saw earlier with innate strength—only three years old, yet after taking the Shen Shen Dan, they awakened their talent and immediately gained thousands of jin of power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Innate strength is common; with many samples, general patterns can be summarized.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some talents, though not unique in the world, are exceedingly rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There may even be mutations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else can ever understand a talent better than the talent’s possessor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your sword bones have many recorded cases.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children born to sword immortals have a very high chance of inheriting sword bones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many sword immortal sects in the world; sword bones are no longer rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Zhengyang Palace where I reside excels in talismans...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very well, I offer you this advice: first, gather as many sword technique scrolls as possible, and use your own Sword Bone ability to cultivate as many types of sword qi and sword intent as you can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then channel the sword qi and sword intent into your Sword Bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Use the sword qi and sword intent as nourishment to nurture the Sword Bone; in turn, the Sword Bone will reciprocate by enhancing your sword cultivation, forming a virtuous cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know this: a swordsman’s internal qi and will can temper the sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By cultivating a sword forged from ordinary iron, you may transform it into a divine weapon capable of slaying evil spirits and monstrous beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you make your bone your sword, and temper your Sword Bone with sword qi and sword intent, even without other miraculous effects, your physical body will be greatly strengthened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Grand Master!” Xiao Yu bowed solemnly to Qingsong Daoist Child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingsong Daoist Child lifted his tea cup again—it had long gone cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xiao Yu and Huchen were quick to take their leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, I saw Danzi—can I go over and speak to him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had already taken leave from Qingsong, Xiao Yu had no intention of leaving immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Go quickly and come back. I’ll wait for you outside the Prefect’s mansion with Guan Zhong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Father, for your permission!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu knew this small permission from Huchen carried considerable responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wah-wah-wah, Auntie Yu, wah-wah-wah, it hurts so much...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before seeing Xiao Yu, Danzi sat like a wooden statue, alone in the corner, basking in the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Xiao Yu call his name, he immediately burst into tears, weeping like a broken faucet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Danzi, be good, don’t cry... Oh, your head’s swollen—I’ll rub it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzi’s head wasn’t the only thing swollen; when she lifted his clothes, not a single patch of unblemished skin remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Danzi, listen to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might be their final meeting, and Huchen was waiting outside—she had no time to let Danzi slowly pour out his sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she rubbed his body, she whispered into his ear: “When you were beaten today, I saw—you did well. You remembered what I taught you last time: you shouted just as I told you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzi hiccuped through his sobs. “Auntie Yu, I forgot everything you taught me last time—I only remembered ‘Loyal to Great Qin, Long Live the Emperor!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu’s expression stiffened, but remembering Danzi was only two and a half years old, she said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine—just those two phrases. Today I won’t teach you any more slogans—only one sentence: Do what you shout.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Loyal to Great Qin, Long Live the Emperor. Do you remember?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzi nodded. “I’ll shout it—and I’ll do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Danzi could align his actions with his words, he would surely become an excellent servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once recognized by the nobles of Great Qin as an outstanding servant, his life would be secure—and he might even rise to great fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll teach you two more phrases—don’t shout them. Read more books, speak less. Train hard, don’t fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Read more books, speak less. Train hard, don’t fight—I remember...
