Chapter 428: Chapter 239 Return to the Inner Domain, Wonderful Heart and Spiritual Intention_2

The two Guardians’ minds were shaking. What was this Spirit Sect elder doing in the Inner Domain?

“We should focus on our duties, mind our own business, and not spread rumors. If anyone asks, we should reveal all except him. We should not hide who has entered the Inner Domain!”

Guardian Ke said in a deep voice.

Guardian Nie solemnly nodded in agreement.

…

On Canglan Island, Li Xuan theoretically perfected the Great Wasteland Martial arts, which involved the comprehension and cultivation of meanings, by constructing its framework.

Among his three disciples, only Su Lingxiu had not grasped the meaning. Although her specialty in Alchemy and Martial arts wasn’t in this area, Li Xuan still hoped that Su Lingxiu would comprehend this, and grasp the uniqueness of Alchemy and Martial arts.

So, he made time to teach Su Lingxiu the theories related to meanings, asking her to combine it with the theories of Alchemy and Martial arts, and thus comprehend the meanings unique to Alchemy and Martial arts.

After instructing Su Lingxiu, Li Xuan continued to ponder how to further perfect his innovative Martial arts. The Qimen Martial arts were already outlined, and only lacked practice from disciples.

Should he also contemplate the fifth system of Martial arts?

He had to start preparing for the Martial arts realm above the Divine Skill Realm, outlining the theoretical boundary and framework in advance.

“The path of Martial arts is hard.”

Li Xuan sighed in his heart.

Even though he had the Daoist Golden Book for guidance, the process of perfecting Martial arts was not easy.

While Su Lingxiu was cultivating, preparing for her breakthrough in Tongxuan Realm, she was also contemplating the meanings.

The meanings unique to Alchemy and Martial arts?

“Alchemy requires fire. Fire refines impurities and extracts the essence…”

When Su Lingxiu was pondering, the first thing she thought of was Dan Fire. Her True Yuan was full of life, yet it could be transformed into a Dan Fire to produce elixirs.

This was one of the unique aspects of Alchemy and Martial artists.

Whew!

Dan Fire surfaced on her hand. Su Lingxiu stared at the Dan Fire and fell into deep thought.

Canglan Island was calm.

Nonetheless, the Great Wasteland Martial Arts was thriving. The number of Great Wasteland Warriors was increasing every day, and the method for the Grandmasters to convert to the Innate skill, as Li Xuan had instructed Peng Yuan a couple of days ago, had been perfected.

Even without relying on elixirs, they could convert. But the process would be slow, and the Heavenly-Earth bridge after conversion would be weak. They would need more time to strengthen it.

But it was a significant advancement nonetheless.

This method of conversion had been spread throughout the world of Great Wasteland Martial arts.

Nowadays, Grandmasters are converting to Martial arts, but for the Great Grandmasters, it was quite a hardship. They could only rely on elixirs for conversion, and after conversion, they would only reach the Innate Realm, not the Tongxuan Realm.

Methods for reaching the Tongxuan Realm had not yet been spread.

Of course, not all Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters chose to convert. A large portion remained cautious, or due to limitations in their innate talents and other reasons, chose to give up conversion.

Meng Chong had already reached the perfect level of Tongxuan Realm, and was accumulating a solid foundation to prepare for breaking through to the Indestructible Golden Body of the Big Day. However, the grade of Spiritual Medicine in the Inner Domain was too low. Even if it was refined into elixirs, the speed of accumulating a foundation was not fast.

At this pace, it would probably take one to two years to accumulate a solid foundation strong enough for the transformation and advancement during the breakthrough.

Meng Chong was not in a hurry. He was the invincible existence in the Inner Domain.

Red Cat was learning to read every day. It wanted to become a cultured tiger. It was also studying the array diagram every day. Although it couldn’t understand what was in the diagram, it could feel the mystery of it.

It stayed with Mother Xu every day. Naturally, Mother Xu also became familiar with the array diagram. Her curiosity aroused, she would also study it when she was free.

After breaking through to the Innate Realm, her lifespan greatly increased. Mother Xu, who had no ambition for Martial arts, reduced her training time even more, practicing only for an hour a day.

She even occasionally took one or two-day breaks between sessions.

Xu Junhe still couldn’t break through the bottleneck and enter the Tongxuan Realm. He was still accumulating in the perfect level of the Innate Realm.

It was the same for Zhou Ying and Shi’er.

Meng Shushu reached the perfect level of the Innate Realm after converting to Martial arts, but he still didn’t find the opportunity to break through.

Li Xuan was not surprised by this, as this was the normal state of a Martial artist’s cultivation.

Profound talents like Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Su Lingxiu were rare. More often, even after reaching the complete level of a certain realm, many Martial artists cannot break through to the next realm.

They might even be stuck at the same realm forever, unable to break through.

This was the case for both the Great Wasteland Martial Arts and the Grand Azure Martial Dao.

Many top-tier martial artists stagnate at their current stage, unable to break through the Grandmaster level.

And then, numerous Grandmaster fighters find themselves unable to push on further, incapable of attaining the status of Great Grandmaster.

Similarly, numerous practitioners of Dahua Martial Arts find themselves constrained at the Energy-Blood Boundary.

However, martial artists operating at the Energy-Blood Boundary of Dahua Martial Arts wield greater strength and longevity, making Dahua Martial Arts much more appealing than the Grand Azure Martial Dao.

“In the cultivation of martial arts, one needs talent, understanding, and opportunities to make a path to the pinnacle!”

Li Xuan reflected to himself.

Xu Yan lacks nothing in terms of talent and comprehension, indeed he excels in both areas.

As for the chance, it is already presented to him as he successfully cultivates to become his disciple, consistently makes his way in the martial arts world by surmounting countless obstacles and presents an unstoppable growth.

Therefore, Xu Yan meets all the necessary requirements to challenge the pinnacle of Martial Arts!

“Who could be the one to seize the opportunity within the Qimen Arts?”

Li Xuan wondered to himself.

Su Lingxiu lessened her focus on alchemy training, immersing herself more within the understanding of the artistic conception, in hopes of understanding a distinctive state of mind unique to the pill and medicine martial artist.

Having studied the Pill Fire for a while without any breakthroughs, she then shifted her focus on the combination of alchemy and medicine.

“The core of a pill and medicine martial artist lies in the pill and the medicine. Regardless of whether it’s the pill or medicine, there’s a need to understand thoroughly the properties and efficacy of spiritual medicines, so as to conjure up suitable medicine…

“But how should one understand the properties and efficacy of unfamiliar spiritual medicines in this world that is filled with countless spiritual medicines and matter?”

Su Lingxiu suddenly had an insight.

Picking up a spiritual medicine, she began to explore it in detail.

Li Xuan has been delving into the third page of the Book of Tai Cang while occasionally guiding the cultivation of Xu Junhe and the others. He has long given up on finding a fourth disciple in the Inner Domain.

“Your disciple Su Lingxiu has comprehended the Mystical Hearkening Intent, and yours, Li Xuan, has thus accomplished a new understanding.”

All of a sudden, the Daoist Golden Book flipped open, emitting a brilliant golden light.

Li Xuan was instantly overjoyed; Su Lingxiu has finally gained an understanding of the special trait unique to pill and medicine martial artists himself.

Mystical Hearkening Intent!

It is a unique state of mind, and can also be regarded as a type of gift.

The Mystical Hearkening Intent is not for battle, but for understanding the characteristics and efficacy of all matters in the world – determining what kind of efficacy this spiritual medicine possesses, how to understand its medicinal properties, how to properly mix and match, and so on.

As long as one achieves a clear understanding of the Mystical Hearkening Intent, any unfamiliar spiritual matter can be easily understood in terms of its characteristics and efficacy, enabling this spiritual matter to be utilized in the best possible way.

“Your disciple Su Lingxiu has deciphered the prototype of the third layer of the Pill and Medicine Martial Art, and you have thus gained the third layer of the Pill and Medicine Martial Arts.”

Upon the comprehension of Mystical Hearkening Intent, her innate talent was triggered, thereby deciphering the prototype of the third layer of the Pill and Medicine Martial Art, and Li Xuan immediately gained the complete third layer of the Pill and Medicine Martial Art.

The third layer of the Pill and Medicine Martial Art provides a more proficient use of alchemy, application of medicine, lethality of the medicine martial arts and various medical prescriptions – all are more extensive, refined, and powerful.

“The way of the pill and medicine martial arts becomes stronger and stronger, and the utilization of the pill also becomes more potent.”

Li Xuan couldn’t contain his excitement.

Su Lingxiu’s talent in the elucidation of pill and medicine martial arts is indeed stupendous. She deciphered the Mystical Hearkening Intent so quickly and used it to perceive the prototype of the third layer of the Pill and Medicine Martial Art.

Now that he has mastered the third layer of the Pill and Medicine Martial Art, it’s time to pass the complete form onto Su Lingxiu. As for how many layers the Pill and Medicine Martial Art ultimately has, Li Xuan has no idea.

Perhaps Su Lingxiu will continue to comprehend it for herself?

Upon the completion of Su Lingxiu’s cultivation, Li Xuan called her over.

“You have made another step forward in the comprehension of the Pill and Medicine Martial Arts. Today, I will pass down to you a higher level of the pill and medicine way. With your comprehension of Mystical Hearkening Intent, you will have the chance to promote and excel in the Pill and Medicine Martial Arts.”

With a respectful demeanor, Su Lingxiu responded, “Yes, master!”

Inside, she marveled at everything being under her master’s assessment. Just as she gleaned the Mystical Hearkening Intent, her master already knew about it.

Just as she began to perceive the next stage of the Pill and Medicine Martial Art, her master had already discerned it.

“The realm of the master is so high, it can only be looked up at!”

Li Xuan handed over the third layer of the Pill and Medicine Martial Art to Su Lingxiu for her to continue to comprehend and delve deep into the subtlety of the Pill and Medicine Martial Arts.

After Su Lingxiu comprehended the Mystical Hearkening Intent, she immediately selected spiritual medicines, combined them into a more effective medicine prescription and proceeded to refine it.

She was on the verge of perfection in the Tongxuan realm.
