"Master, what happened?"
Lu Qing saw his master looking much younger at first glance.
The skin had tightened significantly, and the originally grey hair had turned much blacker.
However, the master seemed somewhat at a loss with his changes, his face full of bewilderment.
"I seem to have made a breakthrough," the elder doctor said, looking confused.
"A breakthrough?" Lu Qing was initially stunned, then overjoyed, "Master, are you saying you've reached Inner Organs Perfection?"
Lu Qing remembered that his master's previous Martial Arts Realm was at the Great Success of the Internal Organs Realm, just a step away from the Inner Organs Perfect Realm of the Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Now with the breakthrough, he must have reached Postnatal Realm Perfection.
However, the elder doctor still looked somewhat bewildered: "It seems like Inner Organs Perfection, but also not quite."
"Hmm?" Lu Qing's expression shifted.
He silently activated his Superpower to observe his master.
Soon, a strong Red Light surfaced around his master.
Several pieces of information appeared:
[Chen Songqing: Skilled in medical arts, kind-hearted, respected, a decent elder doctor.]
[Cultivation: Qi Acupoint loosened, Divine Soul not yet formed, Half-step Innate.]
[Spent a lifetime in medicine, saved countless lives, possesses Merit, deep fortune.] Find exclusive stories on empire
Half-step Innate? Was there such a realm?
Lu Qing was first stunned, then looked at the words with deep thought.
Qi Acupoint loosened, Divine Soul not yet formed?
"Master, how do you feel now?"
After some thought, Lu Qing asked.
"I can vaguely sense that I'm touching upon a new realm, but I don't know how to push open that door," the elder doctor said, troubled.
He naturally knew what the realm he sensed was.
It was the Innate Realm he had longed for, the supreme realm that countless Martial Arts practitioners dream of.
Yet, despite the realm of many dreams being right before him, he didn't know how to take that step, which was quite frustrating.
He understood the state his master was in now.
According to the inheritance left by Li Weitian, to enter the Innate Realm, one must first forge Divine Soul Power.
With Divine Soul Power, breakthrough the Qi Acupoint, induct the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into the body, refine the first whisp of Innate True Qi in Dantian to officially ascend to the Innate Realm.
His master's Qi Acupoint was about to open, but since the Divine Soul Power had not yet formed, he couldn't induce the energy into the body.
"Master, even you don't know how to break through to the Innate Realm?" Lu Qing asked.
"I only know that a Martial Artist at the peak of the Postnatal Realm, wanting to break through to the Innate Realm, must have an Innate Technique as a guide to stand a chance to break through that barrier and ascend to that mysterious realm."
"But I have never had the chance to see what this Innate Technique looks like."
"Besides, such secret techniques, involving the mysteries of the Innate, are not something anyone would easily reveal."
"Even in major sects or families that have produced Innate Realm Experts, only the most core, most outstanding disciples and heirs get the chance to come into contact."
"You see, I am just a traveling doctor; how could I be fortunate enough to witness such a mysterious technique?"
The elder doctor's voice was full of regret.
He had never expected in his life that he would touch the Innate Realm.
He hadn't even dared to hope for Postnatal Perfection.
After all, he was very old, his spirit no longer at its peak. Managing to maintain the Great Success of the Internal Realm was already difficult, let alone progressing further.
Yet, unexpectedly, he had gotten a chance through his disciple's opportunity to consume Vital Spirit Liquid and such Spiritual Objects.
This allowed his stagnant Martial Arts Realm to leap forward suddenly, sensing the barrier between the Postnatal and Innate.
Unfortunately, the chance to ascend was right before him, but he didn't have the key to open that door.
Despite the elder doctor's detachment, he couldn't help but feel regret at this moment.
Lu Qing, seeing the regret on his master's face, only slightly smiled.
"Master, you don't need to be disheartened. Although we do not have the heritage of the major sects and noble families, acquiring an Innate Technique is not as difficult as it seems."
"Uh? What did you say?"
The elder doctor was startled and looked at Lu Qing.
"Didn't I mention before? In that miraculous stone cave, I acquired some inheritance, which happens to include an Innate Technique."
"Ah Qing, are you serious?" the elder doctor asked dazedly.
"Of course, I am. I will transcribe that Innate Technique for you right now."
Lu Qing stood up and went over to the medicine cabinet.
Since sometimes he needed to prescribe for others, the elder doctor had stored pen, ink, paper, and inkstone there.
Lu Qing took them out, added water to the inkstone, laid out the paper, and began to write vigorously.
After practicing for some time and further controlling his physical strength, Lu Qing's calligraphy had significantly improved.
Even though he wrote quickly, the handwriting was not messy.
Soon, he had transcribed the Innate Technique left by Li Weitian.
"Master, the key to ascending from the Postnatal Realm to the Innate Realm is to refine your own Divine Soul Power, then with this Divine Soul Power, break through the Qi Acupoint, sense the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, induct the energy into the body, and refine the first whisp of Innate True Qi in Dantian."
"The so-called Innate Technique is actually a secret technique that can refine the Divine Soul Power. The inheritance I was fortunate enough to acquire contains such a technique."
"I was thinking of giving you a surprise after you had broken through to the Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."
