When Bai Lingyun received the notice and rushed to the Yu Family, the entire Yu residence was already in chaos.

Bai Lingyun was not stopped and led his people all the way to the outside of the private chambers.

The first sight was the chaotic battle traces and large bloodstains on the ground.

A slight chill grasped his heart as he contemplated the matter of escaping.

However, as he walked a bit further inside, his expression changed from panic to astonishment.

To see Lin Qianxuan with his long hair loose, leaning beside You Xi, drinking wine while You Xi helped bandage his wounds.

On the adjacent wall was a long spear.

The body of the spear was somewhat twisted, covered with marks of sword cuts and axe chops, with the tip melted into a lump.

And not far beneath Lin Qianxuan's feet were two Innate Masters lying down.

Bai Lingyun recognized both men; they were the two adversaries that had troubled him for a long time.

Bai Lingyun's heart was already surging with tumultuous waves.

"Master Tan, are you alright?" Bai Lingyun quickly stepped forward and asked Lin Qianxuan.

"Let White Elder not worry; just some small injuries, no big deal," Lin Qianxuan replied.

Although Lin Qianxuan had some scars cut by the Sharp True Qi, and some spots on his skin burned by the scorching True Qi, they were merely superficial injuries.

As long as the muscles and internal organs weren't harmed, they were minor wounds.

His biggest injuries, however, were self-inflicted.

Forcibly compressing Inner Qi had ruptured his muscles and veins.

"They..."

Bai Lingyun gestured to the prone Yu Chenfeng and Ma Yuzhao, conveying a hint.

"Already dead; the Yu Family sent assassins to trouble me, so I returned the favor. Who knew there were two Innate Masters? The fight got a bit difficult, so I suffered some injuries," Lin Qianxuan said.

He spoke as if having two Innate Masters here was an unlucky circumstance, unaware that when he discovered them, he was somewhat thrilled.

"This matter concerning the Bai Family implicated Master Tan, truly making this old man feel guilty. Rest assured, Master Tan, this matter will definitely be addressed properly, giving Master Tan an explanation, and giving the Lanxi Sect an explanation," Bai Lingyun said somewhat emotionally.

"White Elder, you handle it as you see fit. I'm a bit tired," Lin Qianxuan nodded.

After speaking, Lin Qianxuan stood up, picked up the damaged long spear, lay on You Xi's back, and with her wings spread, the airflow surged, instantly lifting Lin Qianxuan into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

....

The Bai Family acted quickly.

After Lin Qianxuan killed Yu Chenfeng and Ma Yuzhao, the entire Purple Flower City was dominated by the Bai Family.

This territory, without a nation, values power above all.

The Bai Family swiftly took over all relevant assets.

All the properties of Wanxiang Manor and Yu Family's shops now belonged to the Bai Family.

However, Bai Lingyun intended to transfer them to Lin Qianxuan.

Lin Qianxuan naturally had no interest in managing these things, directly stating that they were Bai Family's and had nothing to do with him.

Though Lin Qianxuan said this, Bai Lingyun could not listen so simply.

Immediately he thought of ways to convert them into numerous treasures for Lin Qianxuan.

All those millennia-old treasure medicines collected by the Bai Family were presented to Lin Qianxuan, along with rare Northern Domain Cold Iron to recast Lin Qianxuan's spear.

This way, the energy transmission efficiency of Lin Qianxuan's spear became higher, and it was much sturdier.

When Lin Qianxuan left Purple Flower City with a medicine furnace and a heap of treasure medicine, his name began spreading in Jianghu.

Defeating two Innate with a postnatal realm alongside a strange beast, his achievements in the recent twenty years are rare indeed.

Enthusiasts gave Lin Qianxuan the nickname "Simurgh Spear," and turned the story of him killing two Innates into legend, spreading it everywhere.

However, Lin Qianxuan was unaware of these things.

He took the medicine furnace back to his sect and returned to the cave abode for cultivation.

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Qianxuan casually threw an elixir into his mouth.

This elixir was obtained from the Bai Family.

It's called "Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Pill," said to increase sixty years Inner Qi Cultivation if completely refined and absorbed.

The elixir's craftsmanship is complex and difficult to make, and there aren't many in the Bai Family.

However, this time Lin Qianxuan resolved their most dire problem, and the Bai Family emptied their vault, giving all seven Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Pills to Lin Qianxuan.

Upon swallowing the elixir, Lin Qianxuan felt a warm sensation in his stomach, continuously spreading throughout his body.

He began circulating his Inner Strength, digesting the medicinal power, refining Inner Qi, while also flushing the Innate Acupoints.

This time, killing the two Innate gave him a new milestone, gaining the root bone attribute boost from two Innates.

Now, Lin Qianxuan's root bone attribute has reached an extremely formidable level.

Certainly breaking past the human limit, already beyond normal.

During the elixir refinement, he felt a distinctly clear sensation.

That is, the Inner Qi refinement speed increased significantly, digestion capability greatly improved, and even with faster Inner Qi circulation within the meridians, he felt no difficulty.

Root bone attribute generally refers to meridian resilience, bone strength, the body's efficiency in absorbing substances and refining Inner Qi.

These are standards to assess whether a Martial Artist can achieve accomplishments.

An overall evaluation, root bone equates to cultivation speed and combat potential.

Being able to cultivate to Innate already makes one exceptional.

See how the entire Purple Flower City has over thirty thousand people, and just two or three Innates?

Though resource nurturing is part of it, the most crucial is having that talent oneself.

Lin Qianxuan himself is considered to have outstanding talent, and with the root bone enhancement from two Innates, calling him like a tiger gaining wings is not an exaggeration.

In his body, the overwhelming Inner Qi transformed by the elixir congealed into waves, ceaselessly impacting the acupoint between the eyebrows.

Over and over, a massive amount of Inner Qi was consumed in this process.

However, the Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Pill is indeed powerful. No matter how much inner qi Lin Qianxuan consumes, it can replenish just as much inner qi.

It's said that theoretically, it can fully digest and replenish sixty years of inner qi, and that might not be a lie.

Though this should be calculated based on an ordinary person's sixty years.

If calculated based on Lin Qianxuan himself, it would amount to at most three years of inner qi.

Nonetheless, that is already formidable.

It can only be said that the Bai Family is indeed skilled in pharmacology.

"Boom~ Bang~!"

In Lin Qianxuan's mind, there was a loud explosion, and his brow suddenly felt much cooler, as if there was a breeze.

This is the result of opening the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, connecting the inner and outer worlds.

At this moment, Lin Qianxuan could clearly feel the massive Heaven and Earth Energy flooding into his body through circulation.

Originally, the earliest cultivators, upon reaching the innate realm, didn't filter the types of Heaven and Earth Energy. They absorbed all of it into their bodies.

However, this led to a mixed and even conflicting nature of true qi within the body, making it very difficult to wield.

Later on, techniques emerged for targeted absorption of specific types of Heaven and Earth Energy.

In truth, this was somewhat like giving up due to choking.

It was simply because there was no way to consume so much, so they selected just one type of energy to absorb and refine.

Yet, the "Heaven and Sea Devouring True Technique" is different. It can absorb all forms of Heaven and Earth Energy, gathering them in the dantian, and with the aid of elixirs and other means, completely refining and absorbing them. Through specific methods, they are transformed into the special "Returning Sea True Qi" needed.

This name derives from the meaning of all rivers returning to the sea.

Lin Qianxuan is somewhat unique in this regard.

He does not wish to play with true qi; he wants to play with inner qi.

That is, he agrees with the absorption and conversion process, but not transforming it into some Returning Sea True Qi.

Rather, he wants it converted into his inner qi.

Lin Qianxuan believes that inner qi has a strong plasticity, and abandoning inner qi to play with true qi is somewhat like putting the cart before the horse.

Originally, humans absorb external energy to convert it into their inner qi.

Reaching the innate realm and being able to absorb Heaven and Earth Energy into the body should mean a reduced need for food essence qi, and should make it easier to cultivate inner qi.

Yet, martial artists found Heaven and Earth Energy itself very useful, so they simply abandoned inner qi and used Heaven and Earth Energy directly as their own energy.

With this approach, a conversion process is removed, and the unique properties of Heaven and Earth Energy made martial arts powers more exaggerated.

This path cannot be said to be wrong; it only has its pros and cons compared to the path of inner qi.

The potential of inner qi lies in its higher controllability, gentleness, better integration with the body, and a greater nurturing limit.

Simply put, an innate cultivating innate true qi will never live as long as one cultivating inner qi.

Did no one notice?

Of course, someone noticed.

But it was meaningless.

After all, converting Heaven and Earth Energy back into inner qi is a very cumbersome process.

With this extra step, the cultivation speed compared to others is much slower.

Breaking through already takes time, and playing like this is pointless.

Also, in combat, it leaves little room for variation, making it more unattractive.

It's better to cultivate innate true qi directly; strong in combat, and having enough longevity upon breaking through to the Circulation Realm, isn't this more worthwhile than cultivating inner qi?

Thus, many martial artists chose the path of innate true qi and abandoned the path of inner qi.

Returning to the topic.

At this moment, that vast Heaven and Earth Energy entered Lin Qianxuan's body and was directly absorbed into his meridians.

He wasn't selective; he took everything.

Now that his root bone is strong enough, he doesn't need external assistance, and the meridians can bear it.

Then comes the operation of inner strength.

The Heaven and Earth Energy quickly ran through the meridians, and after one grand circulation, a large amount of Heaven and Earth Energy turned into inner qi, returning to the dantian.

Along with the Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Pill, a large amount of inner qi was converted, and the dantian was soon filled.

But Lin Qianxuan didn't intend to stop there.

The concentration of inner qi was increasing rapidly, and soon, a drop of inner qi primordial liquid formed within the dantian.

Compared to previous inner qi, its quality was at least fifteen times higher.

It was almost comparable to the true essence energy of the Circulation Realm.

With this drop of primordial liquid, the rest of the inner qi naturally attached itself, transforming into liquid.

After a short while, Lin Qianxuan's dantian was filled with inner qi, leaving only a dozen scattered drops.

Yet, his Baihui at the brow continued to absorb Heaven and Earth Energy, converting it into inner qi primordial liquid.

"Is this already true essence? I'm one step closer to gang qi..." Lin Qianxuan murmured as he opened his eyes.

According to his creation, the "Infinite Celestial Spirit True Technique," the inner qi could be controlled and compressed into gang qi.

What is gang qi?

This is an inspiration Lin Qianxuan got from gang wind.

The strength of gang wind is comparable to a hundred times refined black iron.

Therefore, Lin Qianxuan's gang qi should also have the quality and strength of a hundred times refined black iron.

A single wisp of gang qi should have a weight as heavy as a thousand pounds.

If such energy erupted, it could easily smash mountains and turn everything within dozens of meters into dust.

And that is just the effect of a single wisp.

Of course, at present, that is only theoretically feasible. Lin Qianxuan at most has taken the first step on this path.
