Chapter 147: The framework of the natal talisman, entering the inner realm

As everyone prepared to leave the underground cavern, Wei Shanhai remained somewhat dazed.

The others, still relatively inexperienced, didn’t understand the significance of the old doctor’s earlier vision.

But as a fellow Xiantian Realm cultivator, he understood the immense difficulty of simultaneously mastering two distinct forms of innate true qi.

Not to mention merging them, complementing and reinforcing each other, enhancing cultivation.

It was practically impossible!

Yet, this near-impossible event unfolded before his very eyes.

It nearly shattered Wei Shanhai’s martial arts resolve.

Fellow Xiantian Realm cultivators, he sensed the vast gap between himself and the old doctor.

He had comprehended the cauldron’s mystical meaning at least seven or eight times.

Yet, even combined, none of his gains matched the old doctor’s this one.

Before leaving, Lu Qing cast a deep glance at the Lihuo Cauldron.

The inheritance he had obtained from the cauldron naturally contained the techniques for refining the Lihuo Cauldron.

However, those techniques required knowledge of the cultivation methods of immortality to be used.

Furthermore, refining a mid-grade spiritual artifact like the Lihuo Cauldron required a very high realm, at least one with cultivation above the innate realm.

With his current strength, refining the cauldron was simply impossible.

Therefore, Lu Qing decided to wait until his cultivation reached a sufficient level to refine the Lihuo Cauldron before seeking a way to acquire it from the Wei family.

Until then, it would be best to let the cauldron rest quietly in the underground cavern, where it could slowly recover its vitality.

It was already evening when they emerged from the underground cavern.

The mood among the group was generally good,

especially Wei Xinghe and Ma Gu. While they hadn’t achieved the same breakthroughs as the old doctor, they had also gained a lot.

So, after emerging, they soon returned to their rooms for another period of seclusion.

After Lu Qing retrieved Xiaoyan and Xiaoli from Madam Wei, he also retired to the guest room provided by the Wei Mansion to rest.

That night, Xiaoyan held Xiaoli, the two little ones sound asleep in a small bed nearby.

Lu Qing, however, sat cross-legged on the bed, not asleep.

He was cultivating.

In the underground cave, absorbing the strange energy emanating from the Lihuo Cauldron, his spiritual power surged.

Now he had enough strength to continue sketching and refining the next spiritual rune.

Within the acupoint between his eyebrows, Lu Qing’s spiritual power slowly flowed, diligently condensing something.

These spiritual fluctuations were perfectly concealed by the original soul rune.

As Lu Qing sketched, a new soul rune slowly took shape.

Everything unfolded silently.

When the new soul rune was fully formed, the previously condensed rune moved from the side, forming a strange connection with the new one, and they slowly revolved around each other.

Lu Qing felt his acupoint between his eyebrows vibrate slightly, becoming more stable and expanding significantly.

Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged.

He knew this was just the appetizer.

According to the Divine Talisman Sect’s tradition, the true transformation of the natal talisman would occur only after the third core rune was condensed.

The core framework of the natal talisman finally took shape.

Sensing his soul’s remaining strength, Lu Qing began refining the third rune without hesitation.

Time slipped by.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qing heard the faint sound of a rooster crowing, and he had finally fully condensed the third soul rune.

When the third rune condensed and connected with the other two, slowly rotating in a strange trajectory,

Lu Qing’s whole body trembled, and the acupoint between his eyebrows suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.

The void within the acupoint rapidly expanded, suddenly increasing by more than tenfold.

At the same time, Lu Qing also felt that his mind had become clearer, and his perception of the outside world became extremely acute.

It was as if the movements of the entire Wei Mansion were clearly perceived by him.

“Is this the five elements of heaven and earth energy that Master talked about?”

Lu Qing closed his eyes, but in his perception, the surroundings were a colorful scene.

He could clearly “see” the various colors of heaven and earth energy. It

was no longer hazy and indistinct as before, as if separated by a layer of fog.

However, because his acupoints were not open, although he could “see” this heaven and earth energy, he still could not draw it into his body and enter the Xiantian realm.

“Well, even if I could reach the Xiantian realm now, it wouldn’t be worth the loss for me.”

Lu Qing, having consumed the Earth Vein Spirit Fluid, possessed exceptional aptitude.

Currently, he had only reached the Perfection of the Bones and Muscles realm, his body’s potential far from being fully developed, and his many secret techniques still uncultivated.

Overzealous pursuit of reaching the Xiantian realm would be detrimental to him.

Possessing several high-level inheritances, he knew that only the most solid foundation could support the path to a powerful and powerful being.

“Well, the Xiantian realm isn’t urgent, but I’ve honed my skills in the Bones and Muscles realm long enough. It’s time for a breakthrough.”

Lu Qing climbed out of bed, quietly opened the door, and stepped out into the small courtyard.

The sky outside was already fading.

Facing the morning dew, Lu Qing set up his fists and began to slowly practice.

As he practiced the Nourishing Body Fist, his Qi and blood gradually began to circulate more vigorously.

Each move flowed like flowing water, pleasing to the eye and exuding the aura of a master.

Lu Qing’s attainments in the first eighteen forms of the Health-Promoting Fist were now no less than his master’s, and he had his own unique understanding of it.

Lu Qing practiced form after form, and soon he reached the eighteenth form.

According to previous practice, after this form, he would either stop practicing in the morning or return to the first form and practice again.

But this time, something was different.

Lu Qing changed his fist posture and continued practicing with a unique move.

His breathing became extremely long, and the circulation of the Qi and blood in his body also became extremely slow, breaking through the restrictions and surging into the internal organs bit by bit.

Soon, Lu Qing’s body shook, and a powerful aura rose from him.

He had broken through the barrier between the Bones and Muscles Realm and the Internal Organs Realm, becoming a warrior in the Internal Organs Realm.

Lu Qing’s expression remained normal despite such an easy breakthrough.

With his foundation, he could have entered the Internal Organs Realm long ago.

Not to mention, he had already cultivated the power of the soul and realized the realm of swordsmanship above the Grandmaster level.

It was only in pursuit of perfection that he remained in the Muscle and Bone Realm, continuing to hone his foundation.

His breakthrough now was a natural progression, nothing to be surprised about.

“Who is it?”

Lu Qing’s aura of breakthrough immediately alarmed the experts in the Wei Mansion.

Several powerful auras quickly rushed over.
