“Pavilion Master, I’ve made a breakthrough!”

Kou Ruozhi came to report to Su Lingxiu about his breakthrough as soon as possible.

“Very good, let Yunshan look after the Chang Qing Pavilion for now. You have to go to the Inner Domain. I have some tasks for you.”

Su Lingxiu nodded.

“Yes, Pavilion Master!”

Kou Ruozhi nodded earnestly.

Yunshan, the County Magistrate of Yunshan, could control Yunshan county under the Heavenly Mother Sect before, so of course, he was not a simple brute.

Moreover, Yunshan was drawn into the Heavenly Mother Sect by Kou Ruozhi, and was a core member of Chang Qing Pavilion.

Once Kou Ruozhi had arranged the affairs of the Chang Qing Pavilion, Su Lingxiu started to instruct him about the Inner Domain. The first task was naturally to prepare for Chang Qing Pavilion’s entry into the Inner Domain.

The first thing was to figure out the strength of the martial artists in Tieshan County and determine where to establish the Chang Qing Pavilion, as well as how to operate it, and so forth.

There was also another very important task.

That was to build an intelligence network for Chang Qing Pavilion.

Su Lingxiu explained the general situation in the Inner Domain to Kou Ruozhi in detail. How to act specifically would depend on Kou Ruozhi himself.

Su Lingxiu believed that with Kou Ruozhi’s talent, he should be able to complete the task soon. The reason why she initially kept Kou Ruozhi was because she saw his potential.

“Be careful in your actions and don’t expose the Borderlands for the time being. You should know what to do.”

Su Lingxiu said finally.

“Rest assured, Pavilion Master. I know what to do. I won’t let you down. Chang Qing Pavilion will surely resonate in the Inner Domain and stand at its peak.” Kou Ruozhi said passionately, full of ambition.

“If you really have this ability, your name, Kou Ruozhi, will certainly be prominently known in the history of martial arts!”

Su Lingxiu said with a smile.

The words made Kou Ruozhi even more excited.

On the same day, Kou Ruozhi took some Spirit Crystals given by Su Lingxiu and several spiritual tickets, left the Borderlands, and went to Tieshan County in the Inner Domain.

The Spirit Crystals and spiritual tickets were naturally brought back by Xu Yan.

Looking in the direction of the Inner Domain, Su Lingxiu’s bright eyes flashed with killing intent.

She was about to return to the Inner Domain.

She would surely uproot and annihilate the power of the man in the black robe!

“Kou Ruozhi has reached the entry level of the Blood Energy Realm, theoretically corresponding to third-grade martial artists. But he is much stronger than the third-grade martial artists in the Inner Domain. Apart from the Tianbao Pavilion, there’s definitely no grandmaster martial artist in Tieshan County.

“Even third-grade martial artists may not exist. Once they break through to the third-grade, martial artists in Tieshan County will leave this barren land.” Su Lingxiu thought to herself.

With Kou Ruozhi’s strength and means, she believed he would soon have a foothold in Tieshan County and complete the tasks she had given him. However, setting up an intelligence system would be difficult.

It was absolutely impossible to do it in a short time.

“It’s time for me to break through to the Innate Realm!”

Su Lingxiu was ready to break through to the Innate Realm.

She had enough foundation and had gained a deeper understanding of the Dan Yi Martial Canon. She had also deeply understood the Thousand Butterfly Phantom Movement Technique and the Xunfeng God Needle, so it was time for her to make a breakthrough.

“Master, I’m going to break through to the Innate Realm.”

Su Lingxiu said as she poured tea for her master.

“Hmm.”

Li Xuan, playing with the Jade Ruyi in his hand, nodded.

“Master, do you have any advice for breaking through to the Innate Realm?”

Su Lingxiu asked.

Li Xuan pondered for a while. Xu Yan had integrated Sword Intent into himself when he broke through to the Innate Realm, transforming it into a Spiritual Bone. Meng Chong was also similar, both had undergone significant transformations

If Xu Yan was to break through to the Tongxuan Realm, Li Xuan even suspected that he would further transform. Would his Spiritual Bone get stronger?

Or would he transform into a Spiritual Body?

As for Su Lingxiu, who practiced the Dan Yi Martial Technique and didn’t understand Sword Intent, Knife Intent, Needle Intent and the likes, how would she transform when she broke through to the Innate Realm?

Li Xuan always wondered since Su Lingxiu had a special physique. After learning about her background and that her mother, a grandmaster martial artist, passed away due to excessive energy loss after giving birth to her.

Hence, Li Xuan suspected that Su Lingxiu’s special constitution might not be complete, and breaking through to the Innate Realm could be an opportunity, an opportunity for self-transformation.

Then he spoke, “You practice the martial arts of alchemy and medicine. To break through the Innate and transform, you need to focus on the path of alchemy, revive your Chang Qing bone and use it as a foundation to elevate yourself.

“Your two senior brothers honed themselves through sword intent and blade intent during their breakthroughs, leading to their transformations. But you have not grasped the sword intent nor the blade intent. These are not your strengths either.

“So, put some effort into the path of alchemy.”

Su Lingxiu seemed thoughtful. After a while, she nodded and said, “Thank you, Master, I know what to do.”

Li Xuan nodded. Su Lingxiu’s understanding of the method meant that she would transform when she broke through to the Innate Realm.

This might elevate her special constitution to a new level.

Su Lingxiu began to prepare for her breakthrough to the Innate Realm. She spent days pondering about the elixir recipe and eventually figured out one.

She then began practicing alchemy.

The main ingredients were three Rank Six spiritual medicines, and the auxiliary ones were of Rank Seven.

This was the highest grade elixir she had ever prepared, so she was extremely careful, not allowing for the slightest distraction.

If the preparation failed, the loss would be substantial.

Finally, the elixirs were successfully prepared. Nine in total, they were green and glossy, seemingly containing vigorous vitality.

Li Xuan watched thoughtfully.

Outside the manor, under a large tree on the mountain.

Su Lingxiu was sitting cross-legged, trying to break through to the Innate Realm.

Xu Yan, Meng Chong, Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan were all watching from a distance.

Zhou Ying was both nervous and joyful, her doting eyes fixed on the distant girl.

Breaking through to the Innate Realm was not challenging for Su Lingxiu. The uncertainty lay in whether she could use this breakthrough as an opportunity to transform and elevate herself.

The bridge between heaven and earth was penetrated. Nature’s spiritual energy entered her body, a faint blue light appeared, it seemed invigorating. The buds of the large tree beside her seemed to be growing rapidly.

Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan looked on with envy. Even in the Borderland, they could cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth and breaking through realms. This was the essence of martial arts.

Martial Arts shouldn’t be restricted.

The two cultivated in the Borderlands, relying entirely on elixirs. The speed of their cultivation was not slow by using Qi-infused elixirs.

However, they couldn’t sense nature’s spiritual energy and felt somewhat depressed.

As Su Lingxiu’s blue light intensified, anyone could feel the vigorous vitality, even from afar.

The unfolding momentum indicated that she was transforming. At one point, just as she was about to break through to the Innate Realm, a special situation occurred. The spiritual energy flooding into her body did not condense into Innate True Qi.

Xu Yan frowned, silently watching, while inspecting the condition of Su Lingxiu.

Zhou Ying looked anxious and couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master Xu, what’s happening to her?”

Even though she was only at the minor accomplishment stage of the Blood Qi Realm, just a step away from the major accomplishment stage, she could tell that something wasn’t right with Su Lingxiu’s breakthrough.

“Junior sister’s body seems to be involuntarily absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, just like…”

Xu Yan thought carefully, “like a thirsty person madly drinking water.”

Zhou Ying couldn’t help but worry, asking, “What should we do?”

“Junior sister has prepared elixirs. It should be fine.”

Xu Yan was also somewhat concerned.

Su Lingxiu, at this moment, noticed the internal condition of her body. Feeling confused, she quickly put an elixir in her mouth.

The elixir instantly melted in her mouth, giving birth to vigorous vitality within her.

She took a deep breath, continuing to circulate her cultivation technique. The Alchemy Martial Codex flashed through her mind. She swallowed another elixir and began to temper her Chang Qing Bone.

At the same time, golden needles emerged and punctured into her body’s acupoints. The needles trembled as if they were hooking up with nature’s spiritual energy, thus triggering the charm of her acupoints.

She swallowed another elixir. The rich vitality and intense energy circulated in her body, stimulating her Chang Qing Bone.

At one point, the Chang Qing Bone emanated a faint green light, and the vitality became stronger.

Su Lingxiu felt as if her body was transforming and seemed to be connected with the big tree beside her. It was a feeling as if she could control the big tree with a flicker of thought.

The spiritual energy from heaven and earth flooded into her body through the bridge between heaven and earth. It no longer dissipated and was absorbed by her body. Instead, it began to impact her Dantian and open up the Qi ocean in her Dantian.

Li Xuan walked over leisurely. Looking at Su Lingxiu, who was breaking through, he confirmed his suspicion—Su Lingxiu did have a special constitution, but it was incomplete.

It was due to the limitations of her environment and congenital deficiencies.

However, now she had tempered her Chang Qing Bone. She was breaking through to the Innate Realm, and with the aid of the elixir, her special constitution had not only been remedied but was also elevating and about to transform into a stronger constitution..
