Lin Qianxuan's breakthrough to the Innate Realm couldn't be hidden and soon spread out.
He is still some distance away from turning seven.
A six-year-old Innate, what kind of concept is this?
Almost no one could describe how strong Lin Qianxuan's talent is.
It's immeasurable.
This has never been recorded since ancient times.
Tan Xiaofei, Ji Shengquan, and Ji Yao were all extremely delighted.
Ji Yao was even more emotional, after all, she still hasn't reached the Innate Realm and has been stuck in the First-class Realm for almost eight years, possibly another eight years more.
Her son is already Innate at six, which made her feel both happy and somewhat disappointed, a complex feeling indeed.
Peng Ran, after confirming Lin Qianxuan's situation, discovered the pure inner qi within Lin Qianxuan's body.
"With so many Innate True Skills in the sect, why do you still choose this path?" Peng Ran asked, puzzled.
"I think this path is better and more suitable for me." Lin Qianxuan replied.
"What about the 'Heaven and Sea Devouring True Technique'? I've prepared some herbs for you to ensure unimpeded cultivation to the Circulation Realm." Peng Ran said.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Mountain Master, but I will pave my own way." Lin Qianxuan said.
Peng Ran thought for a long time and, after sensing the inner qi in Lin Qianxuan's body that was almost comparable to True Essence, finally said, "Resources will still be given to you, but how you use them is up to you."
He had no intention of forcibly guiding Lin Qianxuan.
Ordinary prodigies need to operate within a framework, but Lin Qianxuan, who defies common descriptions, was beyond his teaching.
Peng Ran only briefly shared some of his experiences in practicing in the Innate Realm, telling him the quickest and easiest way to open acupoints, and then said no more.
This was extremely helpful to Lin Qianxuan.
In the next two months or so, he opened another acupoint.
Then he spent just over fifty days opening the third acupoint.
This was partly because his inner qi was pure enough, but more so because the speed of opening acupoints continued to increase.
Simply put, the amount of heaven and earth energy one acupoint can absorb is obviously slower than two acupoints.
The efficiency of converting to inner qi also differs.
The more acupoints that are opened, the faster the energy recovery.
An Innate Master in the late stage can operate hundreds of acupoints simultaneously, able to sustain a three-day, three-night battle without exhausting his True Qi.
The Circulation Realm can ensure a continuous cycle of pure True Essence, even for long-term flight.
Of course, the richness of external heaven and earth energy and the absorption transformation efficiency will impose a limit on this improvement, but generally, even if an Innate Master opens all 720 acupoints, they won't reach that limit.
That limit can only be sensed by experts of the Circulation Realm.
After his seventh birthday, Lin Qianxuan had already opened over thirty acupoints.
Now he could ensure opening an acupoint every few days.
Before turning ten, he would definitely open all his acupoints.
Before that, Lin Qianxuan decided to cultivate well in the cave dwelling with You Xi, not wasting time outside.
At eight, Lin Qianxuan had opened over one hundred seventy acupoints and could basically guarantee opening an acupoint every two days, not because the inner qi was insufficient, but mainly because the process couldn't be too rough, as it might harm the body.
If not for the inner qi's strong self-healing capacity, opening an acupoint every two days would be challenging.
It wouldn't work with True Qi.
By nine, Lin Qianxuan had only just over one hundred thirty acupoints left unopened.
These acupoints could all be opened within half a year.
That year, something also happened at his home.
Because he had been cultivating in the cave dwelling for a long time, his parents couldn't bear the solitude, and he got a younger brother named Tan You.
Lin Qianxuan was not surprised.
With his father being an Innate Master and his mother likely to break through, by then both could live at least two hundred years. Having another brother, or even more, wouldn't be a surprise.
However, it was clear that Ji Yao wasn't planning to have more children.
At least not until she reached the Innate Realm.
Perhaps having children partially restored Ji Yao's primordial energy, coupled with the sect's supplements, she finally broke through to the Innate Realm in Lin Qianxuan's tenth year.
It was a cause for celebration.
When Lin Qianxuan achieved Innateness initially, a banquet was supposed to be held.
But due to age, it was handled discreetly.
Now it was made up for, with a banquet arranged for both Ji Yao and Lin Qianxuan.
Only a few high-level members of the sect knew that both Lin Qianxuan and Ji Yao were of the Innate Realm.
Lin Qianxuan stood holding his little brother Tan You, somewhat speechless.
This little guy wasn't well-behaved, always grabbing at his hair.
Though it didn't hurt, putting it in his mouth was too much!
"Enough, stop licking it, it's hard to wash....."
Lin Qianxuan tried to pry his little hand away but had to give in and let him lick it a couple of times as he threatened to cry.
After a while, Ji Yao, having finished her work, came to Lin Qianxuan and took Tan You back.
Ji Yao is about 1.73 meters tall, and Lin Qianxuan, who is now ten years old, is almost the same height, only his face is a bit more childish.
After handing Tan You over to Ji Yao, Lin Qianxuan couldn't help but think that he should never have children in the future.
It's too much trouble raising them.
Lin Qianxuan arrived at the backyard.
There was no one else here, only Peng Ran, who sat alone in the pavilion drinking and eating.
Peng Ran had only made a high-profile appearance to present gifts when the banquet started, but was not dining with others at the feast.
He is 344 years old, what hasn't he experienced?
In his eyes, many people are ordinary, time wears away many emotions making him indifferent to ordinary people.
Only those of the Innate kind are barely considered human by him.
And among his peers, in the whole Lanxi Sect, he currently only acknowledges Lin Qianxuan.
He even thinks Lin Qianxuan's potential surpasses his own.
"The Mountain Master drinking alone here, how carefree!"
Lin Qianxuan quickly walked into the pavilion and sat down, poured himself a cup of wine, and began eating without hesitation.
Peng Ran's dishes were individually prepared, the ingredients were much more exquisite than those given to guests outside, and tasted much better, including special exotic fowl bred by the sect.
"Do you plan to continue your secluded cultivation to break through to the Circulation Realm?" Peng Ran asked nonchalantly.
"Although I've already opened all my acupoints, connecting them into a full circulation still requires considerable effort. Even for me, it would take ten years. It's dull just to keep cultivating, I'm not someone who only wants to cultivate, I want to go out and explore the world!" Lin Qianxuan shook his head.
For a typical Innate Peak, the process of connecting 720 acupoints to form a circulation cannot be completed in ten years; doing it within fifty years is considered a talent. Many Innate Masters get stuck at this step until they die of old age.
That's why Lin Qianxuan doesn't plan to continue secluded cultivation.
He wants to go out, achieve a couple of milestones quickly, and experience the life he's longed for.
"It's good to move around a bit," Peng Ran nodded and then said, "Take that sword with you."
He referred to the sword, the Heaven-swallowing Sword of the Heaven-swallowing Daoist.
As an artifact embryo, it is sharply unmatched; even those in the Circulation Realm wouldn't dare resist it.
With such a sword, Lin Qianxuan in the Innate realm can definitely be invincible, even those in the Circulation Realm could be forced to retreat.
"Aren't you afraid I won't come back once I take the sword?" Lin Qianxuan jokingly asked.
"Hahaha, if you don't want to come back, then don't," Peng Ran laughed, saying.
Lin Qianxuan laughed as well. Lanxi Sect is so good, Peng Ran is grooming him as a successor, why would he leave?
With Peng Ran's attitude, sooner or later it will all belong to him. What he can acquire isn't just a Golden Sword?
.....
.....
Above the Lanxi Sect's clouds, Lin Qianxuan took his spear, had the Heaven-swallowing Sword on his back, and rode on the gigantic You Xi heading into the distance.
Going afar, he wants to taste the rumored delicious foods of Jianghu, and travel to see a myriad of new landscapes, which would take him three to five years.
You Xi's speed was fast, and soon they arrived at a town.
Outside the town, You Xi landed with Lin Qianxuan, then suddenly shrank, transforming into a palm-sized small colorful bird perched on Lin Qianxuan's shoulder.
This ability to change size is a skill acquired from achieving a milestone.
Such magical means, Lin Qianxuan has yet to master.
No other reason, the milestone level is too low, the world's rules are not that mystical.
Unless he himself reaches the Dao Realm to mold his own rules, crafting such mystical divine power.
But Lin Qianxuan doesn't envy it.
Sooner or later it will all come to him, there's no need to chase intentionally.
He stepped inside the town.
The gun case behind Lin Qianxuan caught some eyes, inside was his spear and the Heaven-swallowing Sword.
Like him, Jianghu travelers carrying weapon cases are rare, most just carry a sword or saber at their side, not a whole case.
Speaking of which, in this life, he hasn't named his spear yet, in the past life, his staff had the name "Purifying Staff," but he's never thought about this for his current spear.
Lin Qianxuan has plenty of silver coins, so he doesn't plan on being frugal, he went straight to a good restaurant to buy food, sat down to taste it alone.
In the restaurant, there was a storytelling gentleman, mostly telling stories crafted from Jianghu hearsay, mostly made up with a kernel of truth, as they can't see everything firsthand. In the rumor mill, tales always distort.
Lin Qianxuan overheard a story that felt a bit familiar, so he came specifically to this restaurant to eat.
"The Wind-Rattling Hammer swung the hundred-pound Copper Hammer with seamless precision, clashing with the Simurgh Spear for hundreds of moves. Meanwhile, the Red Flame Fan battled with the Simurgh Spear's pet, Rainbow Luan, locked in combat. Although Simurgh Spear had Postnatal cultivation, its strength rivaled Innate without losing ground. However, it inevitably lost in endurance, Inner Qi consumed rapidly, cannot compare with Innate Masters' swift True Qi recovery. He realized continuing like this would be unfavorable, and decided to unleash a forbidden powerful move, willing to risk hurting himself to gamble at defeating the opponent. Normally, he wouldn't dare use such a move, but at this moment, at life-and-death's edge, he had no retreat....."
At this point, the storyteller paused.
Lin Qianxuan was listening intently, now abruptly interrupted, feeling a bit displeased.
Luckily someone soon tipped with copper coins, urging him to continue.
"The move shook heaven and earth, unmatched power..... As such, these two Innate were slain by this youth not yet fifteen years old. Before dying, the Wind-Rattling Hammer never expected to die at the hands of someone not even Innate level.... Only lamenting their wretched miscalculations, heroic spirit quelling evil, the spear's mighty presence....."
Lin Qianxuan found it amusing, unexpectedly after so long, the story still circulated, and he ended up with the nickname "Simurgh Spear," which he found fitting.
Although, in a feudal society, the spread of information is slow, so the story might still seem fresh around here!
He finished his meal, tipped the child coming to collect with some copper coins, then planned to leave. The storyteller started narrating another tale.
"Three years ago, a Divine Stele suddenly appeared in Yun Jin Town, standing a hundred meters tall, recording an ancient era's divine secret skill, attracting numerous Jianghu spectators to view it. However, the ancient script was hard to decipher, even the nearby San Yuan Sect's San Yuan Master couldn't fully interpret it, thus offering a reward, promising a seat as an elder within San Yuan Sect and gifting Qiming City if anyone can translate the technique. This is a major city with 300,000 people..."
