The news of Ling Xiao's return to the Inner Courtyard caused a huge uproar in the Ling Family!
Two years ago, the genius of Meteorite City was judged to be a cripple who could no longer cultivate and was ridiculed by everyone. Now, he was reborn and rose again in the short span of a month. First, he taught Li Guangyin of the Li Family a lesson. Then, he defeated Luo Qingshuang of the Luo Family with a single move at the Savory Fragrance Inn.
Ling Xiao once again proved that his reputation as a genius was not just for show.
Just as the Ling Family was discussing Ling Xiao's return to the Inner Courtyard, Ling Xiao had obtained two stalks of King Crow Ginseng from his grandfather, Ling Cang. He was preparing to break through the 12th meridian and become a Profound Practitioner.
King Crow Ginseng was usually a low-tier Level Two Spirit Herb. Other than the effect of relaxing the meridians, it could also increase Xuan Qi and extend one's lifespan. The King Crow Ginseng that Ling Xiao had obtained from Ling Cang was already a thousand years old. It was even older than the average King Crow Ginseng and had stronger medicinal properties. Thus, it was considered a mid-tier Level Two Spirit Herb and was worth more than ten thousand gold coins. In Meteorite City, it was priceless.
Ling Cang had obtained it by chance when he entered the Desolate Mountain Range.
Everything was ready except for the east wind.
Tonight was the night for Ling Xiao to break through his meridian.
After dinner, Ling Xiao returned to his room early and began to meditate. When his energy, spirit, and Qi were at their peak, it was time for him to break through his meridian!
Four hours later, Ling Xiao took out five pieces of King Crow Ginseng that had already been cut.
Just as Ling Cang had said, Ling Xiao was not a Profound Practitioner yet. He could not absorb the medicinal properties of the entire King Crow Ginseng. If he abruptly obeyed all of them, he would waste a lot of the medicinal properties.
Thus, Ling Xiao did not recklessly consume them all at once. Instead, he cut one of the stalks in half and divided it into five small portions. He consumed them separately in case he needed them.
Breaking through the last meridian and breaking through from Martial Disciple to Xuan at the same time required a lot of energy, and it might not succeed in one go. Ling Xiao had already made ample preparations, and he was confident that he would succeed tonight.
Ling Xiao tossed one of the King Crow Ginseng into his mouth. His body quickly circulated the Three Parts Restoration Energy. Eleven streams of hot energy surged up from his Yongquan Acupoint before converging together and charging toward his twelfth meridian. At the same time, the King Crow Ginseng began to display its medicinal effects. An endless mass of energy rushed over from behind, merging with the eleven streams of hot energy to form a huge mass of energy. Wherever it went, the meridian would swell up to twice its original size.
Finally, it struck the meridians that had been closed for a long time.
"Boom."
"Ah!" Ling Xiao let out a blood-curdling screech. His sweat poured down like rain, and his veins were exposed. His appearance was extremely sinister.
The first attempt was undoubtedly a failure!
As always, Ling Xiao did not think of giving up. He gritted his teeth and once again circulated the Xuan Energy in his body. The medicinal effects of the King Crow Ginseng became even stronger.
An even larger mass of energy condensed again, and once again rushed toward the abandoned meridian.
"Boom."
"Ah!"
"Boom."
"Ah!"
…
Ling Xiao could not remember how many times he had tried to break through the meridian, but it still had not been broken.
His entire body was covered in sweat, and there were many streaks of blood seeping out of his pores. He looked like a man of blood, and it was extremely frightening.
"Damn it, the energy is still not enough!"
Ling Xiao cursed softly, and once again sat down to meditate. He circulated the Three Parts Restoration Energy in his body to alleviate the pain from the previous attacks.
Another hour passed, and Ling Xiao's body returned to normal. He opened his eyes, and they were once again filled with confidence.
"Again, I'll succeed tonight or die trying!" Ling Xiao growled. He picked up two pieces of King Crow Ginseng beside him and threw them into his mouth at the same time, attempting to break through the meridian again.
He did not know how many times he had tried, but when the medicinal effects of the second piece of King Crow Ginseng were about to disappear, the abandoned meridian finally showed traces of cracks.
Ling Xiao was overjoyed. Ignoring the pain in his body, he swallowed the last three pieces of King Crow Ginseng. The huge mass of energy was like a rolling fireball, and once again rushed toward its target.
"Ka-chak!"
Finally, the energy fireball broke through the vent, and headed toward his limbs and organs.
Ling Xiao's body rippled with a sense of comfort. It was like soaking in the ice-cold seawater on a hot summer day, or soaking in a hot spring on a bone-chilling winter day. It made one feel relaxed and reluctant to leave.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to cheer, the Xuan Energy flowing through the twelve meridians slowly gathered at the dantian in his lower abdomen.
Ling Xiao hurriedly gathered his thoughts again, and began to circulate the Vitality Restoring Qi.
At this moment, it was the sign of reaching the Profound Practitioner level, and the Xuan Energy was gathering at the dantian.
Any Martial Disciple could increase the strength of their body through cultivation, but no matter how much they increased their strength, if they could not gather it at the dantian, they would never be able to be called a Profound Practitioner.
Only by filling the twelve meridians with Xuan Energy, and then guiding the Xuan Energy of the twelve meridians to the dantian, allowing the dantian to become the base for storing Xuan Energy in the future, could one be considered a Profound Practitioner.
This was also so that when the Xuan Energy was strong enough in the future, he could force it out of his body, and become a respected Profound Practitioner.
The rest of the night passed quietly.
When Ling Xiao opened his eyes again, his eyes were like two sharp blades, and no one dared to look at them directly. His face gradually turned into a joyful smile.
"Haha … I finally succeeded!"
Ling Xiao laughed heartily as he sprung up from where he stood. He spun once in the air before finally jumping into the bathtub with great accuracy.
"Pu!" The cold water in the bathtub splashed!
In an instant, a stench rushed to the sky.
"What … What's going on, who's shitting, to actually smell it in my house?" Ling Xiao said as he sniffed.
Immediately after, Ling Xiao looked at his own bathtub, and saw that the water in the bathtub was actually all black, and it was also suffused with a strong stench.
"F * ck, so that's what's going on." Ling Xiao suddenly came to a realization.
Last night, Ling Xiao broke through the twelfth meridian, guided the Xuan Energy to gather at the dantian, and reached the Profound Practitioner level, causing his body to change, and the impurities in his body to be discharged, making his body's flesh even purer, and this stench was caused by the impurities that were discharged from his body.
"Young Master, is there anything I can help you with?" Bai Yuxi's oriole-like greeting came from outside the door.
Ling Xiao knew that Bai Yuxi would be on time every morning, so he was not surprised, and immediately said: "Yuxi, can I trouble you to bring in two more buckets of water?"
"Yes, Young Master." Bai Yuxi replied lightly, and retreated to fetch water.
… ….
After washing up, Ling Xiao put on a tight robe that hooked up his slightly bulging chest muscles, and then draped a black cloak over his shoulders. His entire person seemed to be shining brightly, and his aura was Dignified.
Bai Yuxi, who was at the side, couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Why did she realize that the Young Master seemed to have become … Become even more charming, and … Even taller and stronger.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuxi couldn't help but blush.
Ling Xiao looked over and saw that Bai Yuxi's face was hot. He thought that she was feeling unwell, so he touched her forehead and muttered: "Yuxi, you don't have a fever, why is your face so red?
Are you feeling unwell? "
Bai Yuxi was stunned, and with a "Ying" sound, she ran out of her room as if she was flying.
Unexpectedly, someone happened to walk in from outside the house.
"Ouch."
"So …" Sorry. "Bai Yuxi hurriedly apologized, then she raised her head and said in surprise:" Why is it you? "
The person who came was actually the Luo family's Luo Qingshuang.
She was still dressed in a fiery red, gorgeous dress that was especially vibrant. Her cold and elegant face was like a lonely rose admiring itself in winter, and her beauty was displayed to its fullest.
Her cheeks slightly puffed up, and she stared at Bai Yuxi and said in a sweet voice: "You … You came out of his room?"
This was clearly a bit self-deceiving, wasn't it obvious?
Bai Yuxi was puzzled by Luo Qingshuang's arrival. When she injured Ling Xiao in the restaurant, Bai Yuxi naturally didn't have a good impression of Luo Qingshuang.
She immediately said bluntly: "Of course I came out of the Young Master's room."
She said this straightforwardly, there was no other meaning.
But when Luo Qingshuang heard it, it was full of unpleasant taste, and she was so angry that she was about to turn around and leave.
At this time, Meng Xiyun came from behind, smiled and said: "Miss, have you seen my Xiao 'er?"
Then she said to Bai Yuxi: "Yuxi, Xiao 'er still hasn't woken up?"
Before the two women could reply, Ling Xiao came out of his room with a smile.
"Mother, I woke up a long time ago." Ling Xiao said. Then he saw Luo Qingshuang and was stunned, "Little chubby girl, are you here for revenge?"
"You, you scoundrel, who's here for revenge?" Luo Qingshuang heard the words "little chubby girl" and immediately blushed. She stomped her feet and turned her face away. Her charming and alluring appearance was extremely beautiful.
"Xiao 'er, this lady is?
Why don't you introduce her to mother? "Meng Xiyun asked Ling Xiao with a knowing smile.
In her heart, she was already certain that this girl could be the daughter-in-law that her son found.
Ling Xiao walked over and said: "Mother, if you want to know then ask her, I'm not very familiar with her."
"You bastard …" Luo Qingshuang shouted angrily.
She came to apologize today, but this guy made her angry again and again. If it wasn't for Meng Xiyun at the side, she would have already started a fight.
Meng Xiyun glared at Ling Xiao and was about to speak to Luo Qingshuang, but then she looked at Ling Xiao again and said: "Xiao 'er … you … you became a Xuan cultivator?"
Meng Xiyun's words also made Luo Qingshuang look at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao smiled proudly: "Haha, I accidentally broke through last night. I'm no longer a piece of trash."
Meng Xiyun walked towards Ling Xiao and touched Ling Xiao's face. She excitedly cried: "Good, good, good son, my family's genius is back."
