355: Innate Realm, Achieved!
Ten minutes later, Lu Li from the sky and landed in the courtyard.
His three wives greeted him with concerned expressions, and Lu Li relayed the news:
"I used my willpower to obtain information from Su Qing —Old Master Nan is being held captive in the Ice Soul Powder factory, which is located underground, with the entrance in the Plum Blossom Hall in Huzhou."
"Huzhou! And it's underground! The Governor of the Two Rivers has truly colluded with Izumo!"
Xia Weiyin's expression changed instantly!
Huzhou was an important town under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Two Rivers. The Governor could not possibly be unaware that the Ice Soul Powder factory wanted to operate and expand!
"This is Qinglong's biological father! I must go and tell my master right away!"
The matter was too complicated, so Xia Weijun left in a hurry.
Half a minute later, Li Yuanzhong and Zhenyangzi arrived together.
Li Yuanzhong looked serious and said in a deep voice:
"May I ask, young friend, has Su Qing mentioned any information about Shen Siyang? Has Qinglong been involved in these matters?"
Before Lu Li could speak, Zhenyangzi spoke first:
"How could Qinglong not know? He's the one who manages everything in Huzhou. Give up your illusions and face reality!"
"That doesn't make sense!"
Li Yuanzhong still found it hard to believe:
"The Azure Dragon was born in response to the will of the people, representing the will of all under heaven. How could it collude with Izumo? Does Izumo possibly have the recognition of the Divine Continent?"
Qinglong's move defied conventional wisdom and is difficult for anyone to accept.
Zhenyangzi, however, remained calm and slowly spoke:
"My master once said: What kind of person you become depends on yourself."
I've always thought there's a lot of truth to that. So what if he's Qinglong? He's nothing but a scoundrel named Shen Siyang. Aren't we all seen plenty of people who are unworthy of their positions?"
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Lu Li, nodded in agreement.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Li Yuanzhong shook his head and said self-deprecatingly:
"I am ashamed, I was too attached to appearances. How can a person's life be predetermined by birth? Young friend Lu is not one of the Four Spirits, yet he is a pillar of strength, truly embodying the saying 'A gentleman strives unceasingly.'"
Upon hearing that he was mentioned, Lu Li took the opportunity to say:
"There's something I plan to do tomorrow to advance to the Innate Realm."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzhong's face lit up with joy:
"Since you are confident, go ahead and do it. We will wait for good news."
"Thank you for your kind words, Daoist Priest. That Ice Soul Powder factory..."
"You can focus on your promotion for now. The factory involves the Governor of the Two Rivers, which requires some maneuvering. Besides, Izumo plans to send Nan Jinping back to the mainland, so his life is temporarily safe."
Lu Li nodded, planning to rescue the people and destroy the factory after advancing to the Xiantian realm.
~~~~~~~~~
After discussing the matter, the two Daoist Priest left.
Lu Li's next task was to refine the Female Grandmaster's Yin Essence.
This energy is two whole realms higher than the previous one. After transforming the body, it can increase the probability of breaking through to the Innate Realm by more than 90%!
But just then, Xiao Cha suddenly said:
"I also want to advance to the Innate Realm, Lu Li ~ let's do it together!"
Lu Li the same benefits, and the girl reciprocated by showering him with affection, so their progress was roughly the same.
When it comes to matters of life and death, having someone by your side makes all the difference.
Lu Li pulled Xiao Cha into his arms and said with a smile, "Then let's do it together! Let's have two more Innate Realm cultivators in our family all at once!"
Xia Weiyin put her arms around their shoulders and said cheerfully:
"When husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break metal. Together as a cultivation partner, weathering storms side by side, this time victory will surely be within our grasp!"
As soon as the words of blessing were spoken, Wan Qing coughed lightly and said:
"My lord, I also wish to transcend the physical body!"
This girl had previously absorbed 200 units of spiritual energy, and had only refined a small portion of it so far, but her accumulation was already sufficient.
Lu Li pulled her in as well, his face beaming, and said:
"You definitely can't be left out! Tomorrow, the three of us will break through together. No one is allowed to fail. After we break through, we'll live a carefree and happy life together!"
The family felt a surge of pride and their confidence grew a hundredfold!
~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Li was scheduled to break through tomorrow, went straight to sleep at 8 p. m.
Sleep is the best way to recover and the best way to nourish the body.
Lu Li slept until noon the next day, a full 14 hours.
The body had already absorbed all of the Grandmaster Yin Essence, transforming it into energy to strengthen cells and nourish internal organs.
Upon opening his eyes, Lu Li felt an immense surge of energy, an inexhaustible urge to be released.
He's reached his peak, perfect time to break through!
Stepping outside, he found his three wives waiting in the courtyard.
Lu Li stepped forward, and Xiao Cha and Wan Qing walked over. The three of them smiled at each other, then held hands and formed a circle.
"Shall we begin?"
"Start!"
"Bring it on!"
Needless to say, the family members are not only husband and wife, but also Daoist partners. They have discussed the steps and precautions for the breakthrough many times before, and they know them by heart.
All that's needed is for Lu Li to give Xiao Cha a "Sense Transmission" experience, and that's enough!
At this moment, Xiao Cha fired the first shot!
The girl's heart pounded violently, drawing all her Internal Breath into her meridians.
At the same time, Lu Li made the same move, his heart pounding and his Internal Breath surging and circulating through his meridians!
Immediately afterwards, the two simultaneously manipulated the acupoints on their meridians to increase pressure, compressing their Internal Breath to the extreme.
Compressed to the size of a ping-pong ball, it enters a semi-materialized state, infinitely close to "Innate True Qi".
Great Heavenly Cycle, this energy precisely split into two clusters, which entered the Ren and Du meridians respectively.
At this point, the test of stamina and endurance is over; the next test will be the body's explosive power!
Two powerful energies, compressed to their absolute limit, converged along the Ren and Du meridians—the central axis of the human body—into the mouth.
Lu Li and Xiao Cha simultaneously pressed their tongues against the roof of their mouths, forming a golden bridge, ready to connect their Ren and Du meridians.
During the fetal stage, the Ren and Du meridians are connected in this way, and are also connected to the mother's umbilical cord, transporting energy to all parts of the body with maximum efficiency.
That's why this realm is called the Innate Realm; it brings a more efficient body and the most efficient way of energy circulation!
Everything was ready, and Xiao Cha was the first to go.
The girl's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her whole body suddenly trembled violently as two extremely powerful energies, compressed to their limit, collided with a deafening roar at the base of her tongue!
Despite his lover's life hanging in the balance, Lu Li wasn't too worried.
"Spiritual Energy" is a divine object that even Grandmaster find useful; to use it for mere blood exchange for cultivation is truly a waste of its potential.
Add to that his Sense Transmission, and if he still can't break through, it would be a bit too much.
Sure enough, a muffled thud came from Xiao Cha's mouth, like a depth charge detonating.
Blood welled up in her mouth, but her expression was one of immense joy.
He raised his hand, and a light blue flame rose from his palm—it was "Innate True Qi"!
Lu Li's heart was also filled with boundless pride, and his body trembled violently, surging with energy that connected the bridge between heaven and earth.
All the hard work and preparation have been for this moment of transformation!
With a "plop," two spurts of blood shot out of Lu Li's nostrils, looking rather frightening.
But Xiao Cha and Xia Weijun already had joyful smiles on their faces!
Lu Li raised his hand, and a light blue flame rose from it. This was his Internal Breath compressed to its extreme and solidified— Innate True Qi!
The Innate Realm has been achieved!
