Chapter 98

"Master, what happened?"When Lu Qing saw his master, he immediately noticed that he looked much younger. His skin had become more firm, and his once gray hair had turned significantly darker. However, his master seemed somewhat lost, as if he was unsure about his changes, his face full of confusion. "I think I broke through," the old doctor said, bewildered. "Broke through?" Lu Qing was initially stunned, then overjoyed. "Master, are you saying you've reached the peak of the Internal Organs Realm?" Lu Qing remembered that his master's martial arts level was initially at the Great Accomplishment of the Internal Organs Realm, just a step away from the peak of the Internal Organs Realm, the level of a grandmaster. Now that he had broken through, he must have reached the peak of the Postnatal Realm. However, the old doctor still looked confused. "It feels like the peak of the Internal Organs Realm, but not quite." "Hmm?" Lu Qing's expression changed. He quietly activated his ability and looked at his master. Soon, his vision revealed a dense red glow around his master. Several pieces of information appeared. [Chen Songqing: Excellent medical skills, kind-hearted, respected, a good old doctor.] [Cultivation: Qi Apertures loosened, Soul Force not formed, Half-step Precelestial.] [Practiced medicine all his life, saved countless lives, possesses great merit and deep blessings.] Half-step Precelestial? Is there such a realm? Lu Qing was initially stunned, then he pondered those words. Qi Apertures loosened, Soul Force not formed? "Master, how do you feel now?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing asked. "I can vaguely sense that I have touched a new realm, but I don't know how to open that door," the old doctor said with some frustration. Of course, he knew what realm he was sensing. It was the Precelestial Realm he had longed for, the supreme realm that countless martial artists dream of. However, with the supreme realm right before his eyes, he didn't know how to take that step, a feeling that was quite uncomfortable. Lu Qing pondered. He had some understanding of his master's current state. According to the inheritance left by Li Weitian, to enter the Precelestial Realm, one must first forge Soul Force. Then, using Soul Force, one must break through the Qi Apertures, draw Qi into the body, and refine the first wisp of Precelestial True Qi to officially advance to the Precelestial Realm. Currently, his master's Qi Apertures were about to open, but he had not formed Soul Force, so he could not draw Qi into his body. "Master, do you not know how to break through to the Precelestial Realm?" Lu Qing asked. "I only know that for a martial artist at the peak of the Postnatal Realm to break through to the Precelestial Realm, one must have a Precelestial Law to guide them. Only then can they break through that barrier and advance to that profound realm." "But what exactly the Precelestial Law looks like, I have never had the chance to see." "Moreover, such secret techniques are related to the secrets of the Precelestial. Who would easily show them to others?" "Even those major sects and noble families that have produced Precelestial experts only allow the most core and excellent disciples and heirs to access them." "Your master is just a wandering doctor, how could I have the fortune to glimpse such profound techniques?" The old doctor's tone was filled with regret. He had once thought that he would never have the chance to touch the Precelestial Realm in his lifetime. He hadn't even dared to hope to reach the peak of the Postnatal Realm. After all, he was really old, his vitality long past its peak. Maintaining the Great Accomplishment of the Internal Organs Realm was already not easy, let alone advancing further. Unexpectedly, he could still benefit from his disciple's fortune, having the chance to take the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid. His martial arts level, which had not progressed for many years, suddenly surged forward, sensing the barrier between the Postnatal and Precelestial. Unfortunately, the opportunity for advancement was right in front of him, but he didn't have the key to open the door. Even the usually indifferent old doctor couldn't help but feel regret. Seeing the regret on his master's face, Lu Qing smiled slightly. "Master, don't be disheartened. Although we don't have the foundation of major sects and noble families, obtaining a mere Precelestial Law is not that difficult." "Hmm? What did you say?" The old doctor looked at Lu Qing in astonishment. "Didn't I tell you before, Master? I obtained some inheritance in that mysterious cave, and it just so happens that there is a Precelestial Law in it." "Aqing, is what you said true?" The old doctor was stunned. "Of course it's true. I will transcribe the Precelestial Law for you right now." Lu Qing got up and went to the medicine cabinet. Since he sometimes needed to prescribe medicine for others, the old doctor kept ink, paper, and a brush there. Lu Qing took them out, added water to the inkstone, ground the ink, laid out the paper, and began to write quickly. After some practice and further control over his body strength, Lu Qing's calligraphy had greatly improved. Even though he was writing quickly, his handwriting was not messy. Soon, he had transcribed the Precelestial Law left by Li Weitian. "Master, the key to advancing from the Postnatal to the Precelestial Realm is to forge one's Soul Force. Then, using Soul Force, break through the Qi Apertures, sense the Heaven and Earth Qi, draw Qi into the body, and refine the first wisp of Precelestial True Qi in the Dantian." "The so-called Precelestial Law is actually a secret technique that can forge Soul Force. I was fortunate to obtain such a technique in the inheritance." "I was planning to give you a surprise when you reached the peak of the Internal Organs Realm, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon." "This 'Essence Forging Spirit Technique' is now presented to you, Master." Lu Qing handed the transcribed Precelestial Law to his master. The old doctor took it dazedly and slowly read it. As he read, his eyes grew brighter. Although the old doctor was not fond of fighting, it was because he disliked harming others' lives, not because he didn't practice martial arts. In fact, his martial aptitude was also very high. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deduce Health Nourishing Boxing, an Internal Organs Realm technique, from a fragmented, nameless martial art, and cultivate it to the Great Accomplishment of the Internal Organs Realm. Furthermore, having practiced medicine for most of his life, his understanding of the human body's meridians and acupoints was profound, giving him great insight into health cultivation. Thus, he could see at a glance how profound the Precelestial Law transcribed by Lu Qing was. The detailed descriptions of how to operate one's Essence and forge Soul Force were things he had never imagined. For a moment, the old doctor was fascinated. After reading it, he read it twice more before letting out a long breath. He sighed, "No wonder it's called a Precelestial Law, it's truly incredible. I never thought there could be such a subtle connection between human Essence and Soul Force." "Master, how is it? Does this Precelestial Law help you?" Lu Qing asked. "Help? It's more than helpful; it's like a revelation. I always thought I had some achievement in medicine, but seeing this Precelestial secret technique today, I realize that the human body's mysteries are vast and profound. My previous medical knowledge was just the shallow understanding of a frog at the bottom of a well." The old doctor sighed sincerely, feeling extremely pleased. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality. From this Precelestial Law, he gained not only the method to forge Soul Force but also various insights into the relationship between human Essence and Soul Force. This was an immense benefit to his medical skills. In fact, the latter made him happier than the former. As a doctor, the old doctor had a deep, intrinsic love for medical skills. Any improvement in his medical skills brought him joy. "Master, with the help of this Precelestial Law, how long will it take for you to advance to the Precelestial Realm?" Lu Qing continued to ask. "It's hard to say. After pondering it, I think I can successfully forge my Soul Force within a year, maybe six months if I'm fast." "Will it take that long?" Lu Qing was somewhat surprised. "You silly child, you really don't understand the hardship of cultivation." "Ask any martial artist at the peak of the Internal Organs Realm. If they were certain they could forge their Soul Force and advance to the Precelestial Realm within a year or six months, imagine how ecstatic they would be." "Do you know how many grandmasters at the peak of the Internal Organs Realm never touch that Precelestial barrier in their entire lives?" "Given my old age, if it weren't for the few drops of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid you gave me, even if I sensed that barrier and obtained the Precelestial Law, it would take me three to five years to forge my Soul Force." "And you think it's too slow?" The old doctor was somewhat helpless. His disciple had such a great talent in martial arts that he faced no difficulties in cultivation, progressing smoothly all the way. As a result, Lu Qing didn't have a personal experience of the hardships of the martial path. His path had been too smooth, which might not be a good thing for him. "It was foolish of me." Lu Qing smiled sheepishly. He had seen the information revealed by his ability, indicating that his master was now at half-step Precelestial. He had thought that once his master obtained the Precelestial Law, he could quickly forge his Soul Force and advance to the Precelestial Realm. In that case, he would have a Precelestial master to rely on, which was a thrilling prospect. He hadn't realized that he was being overly optimistic. "You..." The old doctor didn't know what to say, only shaking his head. "Master, once you officially advance to the Precelestial Realm, I have another technique for you, to congratulate you on your breakthrough," Lu Qing said. "Aqing, what kind of inheritance did you get? You remember so many Precelestial techniques so clearly?" Even the old doctor couldn't help his curiosity, asking. Also, he was amazed by how Lu Qing had transcribed the Precelestial Law earlier. Although he had spent a long time with Lu Qing and knew he had an excellent memory, almost photographic, the 'Essence Forging Spirit Technique' was exceptionally profound and precise. A single mistake could have serious consequences. Lu Qing had transcribed it confidently, clearly believing there were no mistakes. Now he said he would present another Precelestial technique in the future. How long had Lu Qing been in the mountains, and how could he remember so many Precelestial techniques? "The inheritance I received in that cave was not recorded on paper or bamboo slips." Lu Qing had already prepared an explanation for his master's doubts. "It was imprinted directly in my mind by a mysterious expert using Soul Force. I couldn't forget it even if I wanted to, so you don't need to worry." "Soul Force imprinting? Such a miraculous method exists in the world?" The old doctor was amazed. But then he realized that the person who could create something like Earth Vein Spirit Liquid would naturally have divine methods beyond his comprehension as a mere Postnatal cultivator. "So, Master, you can focus on your cultivation in the coming days without worrying about subsequent techniques," Lu Qing said. "Passing on the techniques to me, won't there be any problems?" the old doctor asked, concerned. He knew that many major sects and noble families took their inheritances extremely seriously. Lu Qing's inheritance was likely from some mysterious sect. Passing on techniques without permission was a grave offense in any sect. "Don't worry, Master. The senior who passed on the techniques to me has been gone for many years and didn't leave any instructions against sharing the techniques. It's entirely up to me," Lu Qing reassured. Li Weitian had been dead for seven or eight hundred years, and even his remains had turned to skeletons. Having someone inherit the techniques was already fortunate; there was no need for him to be picky. The old doctor finally relaxed. He was all smiles, "I never expected that in my old age, I could benefit from my disciple's fortune and have the chance to glimpse the Precelestial Realm, a dream for countless martial artists. This world is indeed full of surprises!" Looking at Lu Qing, the old doctor was filled with emotion. He could never have imagined that the disciple he had taken on a whim would bring him such great opportunities. Not only did it extend his life by several decades, but now he also had the chance to advance to the Precelestial Realm. The old doctor almost wondered if he was dreaming. Seeing his master happy, Lu Qing was also very pleased. Once his master broke through, he would have a Precelestial master as a backing. Even if his master wasn't good at fighting, a Precelestial master was still a Precelestial master. No Postnatal cultivator would dare to provoke him. At that time, he could pass on a more powerful technique to his master. This way, even among Precelestial cultivators, his master would be a strong presence. After all, it was a technique left by Li Weitian. A genius who dominated an era as a peak Precelestial cultivator had passed it down. Any Precelestial who obtained it would rise to the upper echelons of the Precelestial Realm. With such a powerful master, he could walk with his head held high in Cang County. The Black Wolf Gang would be nothing but a joke. Even the Wei family would not dare to provoke a Precelestial expert. Thinking of this, Lu Qing felt excited. "Does this count as a different kind of nurturing?" Lu Qing thought with some amusement. While others nurtured little children or animals, he was nurturing his master into a Precelestial expert. The difference was quite significant.
