Chapter 98: The Heaven's Gift Realm Master's Training Plan

"Master, what's wrong?"

Lu Qing saw that his master looked much younger at first glance.

Master's skin was tight, and his once white hair had turned raven black, but Master himself seemed somewhat uncomfortable with these changes, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

"I think I've broken through." The old doctor's expression was dazed.

"Broke through?", Landy Qing was startled at first, then rejoiced, "Master, are you saying you have broken through to Complete Inner Fulfillment?"

Lu Qing remembered that his master's original martial arts realm was the Great Perfection of the Inner Organs, just one step away from the mastery of the Inner Organs' Perfection, the pinnacle of martial arts.

Now that he had made a breakthrough, it must be that he had reached the completion of the Acquired Realm.

However, the old doctor's expression remained perplexed: "It's as if the internal organs are full, but it's also not quite right."

"Hmm?" Lu Qing's expression changed slightly.

He quietly activated his special ability and looked at his master.

Soon, a dense red glow appeared on Master's body in my line of sight.

Several pieces of information emerged.

Chen Songqing: A skilled physician with a kind heart, widely respected by all.

I apologize, but it seems like there's a bit of a language mix-up here!

A lifetime of practicing medicine, saving countless lives, accumulating great merit and profound blessings.

Half-step Pre-birth? Could there really be such a realm? At first, Lan Qing was startled, then he looked back at the paper thoughtfully.

The Acupoints have been unlocked, but the Spiritual Soul has not yet awakened?

"Master, how are you feeling now?" Lu Qing asked.

The old doctor thought for a moment, "I can vaguely feel that I've touched upon a new realm, but I don't know how to push open that door."

He naturally knew what realm he had sensed.

That was the Innate Realm he had longed for, the supreme realm that countless cultivators had always dreamed of achieving.

However, the realm that countless people had been longing for was right in front of him, yet he didn't know how to take that step forward, and this feeling was quite unbearable.

Lu Qing fell into deep thought.

He understood that his master was currently in a state of cultivation.

Following Li Weitian's legacy, to enter the Xiantian Realm, one must first cultivate the power of the Nascent Soul.

To break through the shackles with the force of divine souls, draw in the energy and refine it into the first wisp of prenatal true qi—only then can one advance to the Pre Natal realm.

Master is currently at the stage where his apertures are about to open, but his divine soul has not yet been born, so he is unable to draw in spiritual energy.

"Master, even you don't know how to break through to the prenatal realm?" asked Lu Qing.

{

"But as for the true nature of this innate law, I have never had the chance to witness it personally."

"Besides, this kind of secret technique concerns the secrets of the prenatal realm, who would easily reveal it to others?"

"Even in the most prestigious sects and aristocratic families that have produced powerful innate realm cultivators, only the most exceptional and core disciples, as well as the chosen successors, are qualified to access this knowledge."

"Your master is just a humble traveling physician, how could I be fortunate enough to witness such profound and mysterious arts?"

The old man's tone was tinged with regret.

In the past, he had never had the chance to touch the Innate Realm in his entire life.

He didn't even dare to hope for a Post-Heavenly Cycle.

After all, he was quite old, and his vitality and spirit had long since passed their peak. Being able to maintain his current level at the Great Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm was already no easy feat, let alone trying to advance further.

But little did he know, he would also gain the opportunity to benefit from his disciple's good fortune and be lucky enough to consume the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, a rare and precious spiritual substance.

The martial arts realm, which had been stagnant for years, suddenly took a massive leap forward, sensing the barrier between the Acquired and Innate realms.

Unfortunately, the opportunity for advancement was right in front of him, but he didn't know how to take the next step, and this feeling was quite distressing.

Lu Qing fell into deep thought.

He understood that his master was currently in a state of Qi Deviation.

Following the legacy left by Li Weitian, to enter the Xiantian Realm, one must first cultivate the power of the Divine Soul.

To break through the shackles with the power of the divine soul, draw in the energy and refine it into the first thread of prenatal true qi - only then can one advance to the prenatal realm.

Master, your apertures are about to open, but your divine soul has not yet been born, so you are unable to guide the energy into your body.

"Master, don't be disheartened. Although we don't have the backing of a major sect, clan, or aristocratic family, acquiring a minor innate technique is not that difficult after all."

"Hmm?" The old doctor was taken aback, turning to look at Lu Qing.

"The disciple previously mentioned, in that anomalous stone cave, obtained some inheritances. Coincidentally, one of them is a prerecelestial technique."

"A Qing, are you telling the truth?" the old doctor asked, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Of course, it's true. Disciple will immediately transcribe that innate technique for Master."

Chapter: "The Mystery of the Innate Realm"

Lu Qing got up and walked over to the medicine cabinet, where his master kept the ink, brush, paper, and inkstone for writing prescriptions for others. He took out the writing tools, added water to the ink, laid out the paper, and began to write swiftly.

Thanks to his practice over the past few days and his improved control over his physical strength, Lu Qing's calligraphy had progressed significantly. Even when writing quickly, his handwriting remained neat and orderly.

It didn't take long for him to transcribe the Pre-Natal technique left by Li Weitian from memory.

"Master, the key to advancing from the Acquired Realm to the Innate Realm lies in forging the power of one's Divine Soul," Lu Qing explained. "Using the power of the Divine Soul, one must break through the acupoints, sense the heaven and earth's primal energy, draw it into the body, and refine it into the first strand of prenatal true qi."

"This Pre-Natal technique is actually a secret method for cultivating the power of the Divine Soul. Fortunately, one of the inheritances I obtained by chance contains such a method."

"I had intended to wait until Master reached the Great Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm before giving you this surprise, but I didn't expect that day to arrive so soon."

"Here, Master, I present you with the Jing Yuan Dan Shen Fa (Essence-Refining Soul-Forging Technique)." Lu Qing handed the transcribed Pre-Natal technique to his master.

The old doctor took it with a dazed expression and began to read slowly. As he continued reading, his eyes lit up brighter and brighter.

While the old doctor preferred not to engage in combat with others, it was not because he lacked martial arts skills; it was simply that he disliked taking lives and had focused more on healing techniques. In reality, his talent in martial arts was exceptionally high.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to create the Yang Shen Quan (Nurturing Body Fist) cultivation technique, a technique that reached the Great Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm, from a single incomplete and nameless technique.

Furthermore, as a physician who had practiced medicine for most of his life, his understanding of the body's meridians and acupoints was profound, making him extremely insightful in the field of self-cultivation.

Thus, at a glance, he could tell how profound and mysterious the Pre-Natal technique Lu Qing had written down was. The technique provided detailed instructions on how to circulate one's essence and forge the power of the Divine Soul, things he had never even considered before.

For a moment, the old doctor was completely engrossed in reading.

After finishing, he read through it twice more before finally letting out a long sigh. "Truly, the ways of the Innate Realm are unfathomable and incredible. Who would have thought that there would be such a profound connection between the body's essence and the Divine Soul?"

"Master, what do you think? Is this Pre-Natal technique of any help to you?" Lu Qing asked.

"It's not just helpful; it's like a revelation. I always thought I had achieved some success in the path of medicine, but now, after seeing this Pre-Natal secret technique, I realize how vast and profound the mysteries of the human body are. My previous understanding of medical principles was but the shallow insight of a frog at the bottom of a well, pitifully shallow." The old doctor sighed with heartfelt emotion, feeling both delighted and amazed.

From this Pre-Natal technique, he had gained not only a method for cultivating the Divine Soul but also a deeper understanding of the connection between the body's essence and the Divine Soul. This would undoubtedly be of immense benefit to his medical skills.

In fact, the latter brought him even more joy than the former.

As a healer, the old doctor had an innate passion for medicine that ran deep in his bones. Any improvement in his medical skills brought him immense happiness.

"Then, Master, with the help of this Pre-Natal technique, how long will it take for you to advance to the Innate Realm?" Lu Qing asked further.

"It's hard to say," the old doctor replied. "I just took a look at the secret method described in this Pre-Natal technique, and I think that if I want to successfully cultivate the power of my Divine Soul and step into the Innate Realm, it will take at least half a year, and at most, a year."

"That long?" Lu Qing was a little surprised.

"My child, you truly don't understand the hardships of cultivation," the old doctor said.

"If you ask any Inner Fulfillment realm master, they will tell you that if they could be certain of cultivating their Divine Soul and entering the Innate Realm within a year or half a year, they would go mad with joy."

"Do you know how many Inner Fulfillment masters there are in this world who never get to touch that barrier to the Innate Realm in their entire lives?"

"I am already old, and my vitality and spirit have long passed their peak. It was no easy feat for me to maintain my current level at the Great Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm, let alone try to progress further. If not for the few drops of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid you gave me, even if I had touched that barrier and obtained a Pre-Natal technique, it would have taken me at least three to five years to cultivate the power of the Divine Soul."

"And you're still complaining about the speed?" The old doctor was a little exasperated.

His disciple's talent for martial arts was exceptional, and he had faced no difficulties in his cultivation journey, always progressing smoothly. As a result, he didn't truly understand the hardships of the martial path.

Perhaps it wasn't a good thing that his path had been too smooth.

"I was being foolish," Lu Qing said sheepishly.

The truth was, his special ability had revealed to him that his master was currently at the Half-step Innate Realm.

Chapter: "The Mystery of the Innate Realm"

"I thought that as long as Master obtained the Innate Law, he would be able to quickly forge the power of the Divine Soul and advance to the Innate Realm," Lu Qing said, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Then, I would have a backer at the Innate Realm. The thought of it is truly exhilarating."

However, it seemed his expectations were a little too high.

"You..." Master Chen shook his head, at a loss for words.

"Master, once you officially break through to the Innate Realm, I have another set of techniques to give you as a congratulatory gift for your breakthrough," Lu Qing said.

"A Qing, just what kind of inheritance did you obtain that allows you to acquire so many Innate techniques and remember them so clearly?" Master Chen asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

He was also astonished by Lu Qing's earlier display of transcribing the Innate technique from memory.

While he knew that Lu Qing had an exceptional memory and could almost remember anything he read, the Jing Yuan Dan Shen Fa was an extremely profound and complex technique, and a single mistake in writing it down could have severe consequences.

Lu Qing's confidence in transcribing it without any errors was a testament to his belief in his own ability.

Now, he was even talking about giving him another Innate technique in the future.

"The inheritance I obtained in that mountain cave was not recorded on paper or bamboo slips," Lu Qing explained in response to his master's curiosity.

"Instead, it was directly imprinted into my mind by a mysterious and powerful cultivator using soul engraving. I can't forget it even if I want to, so Master, you don't have to worry."

"Soul engraving? Is there such an incredible method in this world?" Master Chen exclaimed, astonished.

However, he quickly realized that the person who could create something as rare and precious as the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid would naturally possess abilities far beyond his own as an Acquired Realm cultivator.

"So, Master, you can focus on your cultivation from now on without worrying about subsequent techniques," Lu Qing assured him.

"But won't there be any issues if I receive the technique from you?" Master Chen asked, his brows furrowed with concern. He knew that many major sects and clans placed immense importance on their inheritances.

Lu Qing's inheritance was likely passed down from some mysterious sect.

Transmitting their techniques without permission was considered a grave offense in any sect.

"Rest assured, Master. The predecessor who transmitted the technique to me passed away many years ago, and there were no restrictions mentioned in his will regarding the dissemination of the technique. I am free to do as I wish," Lu Qing reassured him.

After all, Li Weitian had been dead for seven to eight hundred years, his remains reduced to mere skeletal bones.

It was already a blessing that his techniques had been passed down; he wouldn't be picky about who received them.

Master Chen's worries eased, and his face lit up with joy. "I never expected that in my old age, I would be blessed by my disciple's good fortune. I might even get a glimpse of the Innate Realm, which countless martial artists yearn for. Life is truly full of surprises!"

As he looked at Lu Qing, Master Chen felt a surge of emotion.

He never imagined that the disciple he had taken in on a whim would bring him such immense opportunities.

Thanks to Lu Qing, he had not only extended his lifespan by several decades but now also had a chance to break through to the Innate Realm, even in his old age.

Master Chen couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming.

Seeing his master's happiness, Lu Qing was delighted as well.

Once his master broke through, he would have a backer at the Innate Realm.

Even if his master wasn't skilled in combat, the Innate Realm was still the Innate Realm. The weakest Innate Realm cultivator would still be untouchable by those in the Acquired Realm.

Later, he would transmit a more powerful technique to his master, ensuring that even among Innate Realm cultivators, his master would be a force to be reckoned with.

After all, it was a technique left by Li Weitian, an unparalleled genius who had dominated an era.

Any Innate Realm cultivator who obtained it would undoubtedly rise to the upper echelons of the Innate Realm.

With such a powerful master, Lu Qing would be able to walk with his head held high in this county.

Even the Black Wolf Gang would be nothing more than insignificant pests to him, and the Wei family would likely think twice before provoking an Innate Realm cultivator.

These thoughts excited Lu Qing.

"I wonder if this counts as a unique type of nurturing," Lu Qing mused with a hint of mischievousness.

After all, most people nurtured young children or animals.

But here he was, nurturing his own master into an Innate Realm cultivator.

The difference was indeed significant.
