Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen were too lazy to be bothered with Jiang Wuhen any longer and decided to use the time during this journey to cultivate instead. The two of them knew that with their cultivation levels, they were considered experts at the pinnacle amongst the younger generations of various countries. However, when compared to the disciples of various sects, they had no advantage whatsoever. There was no need to further mention people like Mo Kongyuan in comparison. Relying on their current cultivation levels to revive the Golden Pill Sect, or resolve the mystery behind Ling Chuxi’s origins, was far from sufficient.
Ling Chuxi had already obtained the medical skills of the Qiu family and the three streams of secret techniques of the Golden Pill Sect were finally combined into one. The stream of medical skills inherited by the Qiu family was not too different from the other two streams, but it had a unique emphasis on refining poisons. Amongst the various venomous medical skills, the usage of venomous bugs was practically unbelievable. For example, the Nether Blood Ants which were sent after Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen and Jiang Wuhen were originally intended to treat diseases, but using them as weapons also proved amazingly effective at defeating enemies and injuring people.
However, this was not the main point Ling Chuxi was concerned about. She was more concerned about the Qiu family’s application methods and acupuncture methods. Just as she had guessed, the Golden Pill Sect’s application methods and acupuncture methods were indeed a complete set of martial arts skills. The stream she had learnt in her past world emphasized technique, the Su family’s stream emphasized Battle Qi control, and the Qiu family’s stream emphasized the layering of techniques into forming a more complex combination. Putting all three streams together resulted in an odd, inexplicable, ingenious and amazing set of skills that could leave one lamenting as they watched it performed. But without the other two streams’ of martial arts techniques as a foundation to draw from, the set of skills of the Qiu family was limited from showing its true might. This incompleteness due to different streams of knowledge was the reason why neither the Qiu family nor the Su family was able to suppress the other party even though both originated from the same sect.
Ling Chuxi cultivated according to the Golden Pill Sect’s cultivation methods again and again. The Battle Qi within her body circulated speedily and the Dazzling Heart Stone hidden beneath her sleeve became icy cold, vaguely emitting a faint misty light. In her Qi Ocean, a surge of extremely cold and gloomy qi suddenly arose and circulated through all her meridians.
Surprisingly, the Thundercloud Battle Qi that was known for its shocking and thunderous might akin to the qi of rushing clouds actually did not reject this extremely cold and gloomy qi whatsoever. A surge of domineering and powerful Battle Qi and a surge of extremely cold and gloomy aura entangled with each other in her meridians, supporting each other and complementing each other. Her cultivation speed became a few times faster than it had been in the past.
A strong force emitted from within the carriage suddenly, causing the steed pulling the carriage to let out a long neigh of terror before coming to a stop. The poor horse was so frightened by this sudden surge of strong energy to the point that its body was trembling and it did not dare to take another step forward.
Jiang Wuhen was also surprised. He turned back to take a look at what was going on as he lowered the horsewhip.
In the carriage, Ling Yichen who was slightly shocked looked at Ling Chuxi in surprise.
Ling Chuxi opened her eyes with an expression filled with delight.
“You’ve reached the advanced stage of the realm of Great Fulfilment so fast?” asked Ling Yichen in surprise. One needed to know that he and Ling Chuxi had been promoted to the realm of Great Fulfilment a mere few days apart. Now, as he was still bitterly rushing to reach the intermediate stage of the realm of Great Fulfilment, Ling Chuxi had already reached the advanced stage of the Great Fulfilment. He never expected her to progress this quickly.
While he was happy for Ling Chuxi, her quick promotion left Ling Yichen feeling a slight sense of loss and helplessness.
“No, this is the pinnacle stage of the realm of Great Fulfilment!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi. Her voice was trembling slightly due to her excitement. Even she herself had never thought that she would actually arrive so quickly at the Great Fulfilment Advanced stage and then lead directly into the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage without so much as a moment of slowing down.
“Pinnacle stage!” The smile on Ling Yichen’s lips froze. He had originally thought that Ling Chuxi was merely at the Great Fulfilment Advanced stage without thinking that she would in fact be at the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage. Within such a short span of time, was this not a little too huge of a leap? If it were not for Ling Chuxi’s own excited expression which was so sincere, Ling Yichen would have doubted his own ears and thought his hearing had problems.
For ordinary people, after the experiencing lightning striking the body and entering into the realm of Great Fulfilment, each step forward in the progress of their cultivation level would be as difficult as trying to climb to the heavens. Many people spent decades cultivating and were still unable to progress to the intermediate stage from a primary stage, not to mention the advanced stage. As for Ling Chuxi, not only had she arrived at the advanced stage so soon, she had even reached the pinnacle stage in one shot. How exactly did she progress in her cultivation so quickly?
