Chapter 131: Chapter 112: Li Hengsheng’s Doubts Rise Again (Part 2)

Li Hengsheng smiled and shook his head.

“Oh, Old Four, you really don’t know how to utilize resources,” Lord Zhou said helplessly. “Second Senior Sister said you can have Spirit Chicken whenever you want, and she can prepare it clean and send it over. If it were me, I’d have her send it to me every day.”

“Old Four, you really don’t know how to make use of your own resources,” Lord Zhou said, feeling exasperated yet amused.

“Third Senior Brother, I think you just need another beating,” Li Hengsheng said with a smile, shaking his head and then ordering the people in the house to go out and buy some roast chicken and similar foods.

While waiting for the roast chicken, Li Hengsheng had something to ask Lord Zhou.

“Third Senior Brother, I’m currently at the Peak of Nine Layers, almost breaking through to the Postnatal Realm,” Li Hengsheng said. “But I don’t feel any Inner Strength now; the vitality in my body is surging. I’ve tried to break through the Qi Sea, but I can’t penetrate its barrier. Why is that?”

“Unable to break through the Qi Sea barrier?”

Lord Zhou wasn’t at all surprised, as this was quite normal.

He casually picked up an apple, took a bite, then stood up, walked behind Li Hengsheng, placed his palm on Li Hengsheng’s back, and said, “Let me feel it. Don’t resist.”

Li Hengsheng nodded.

Immediately, he felt an overwhelmingly powerful force permeating his body.

That was Lord Zhou’s Inner Strength.

The strength of Inner Strength far exceeds that of vitality; it surges from the bones and muscles, with amazing power, far beyond what the force of vitality can easily resist.

After sensing Li Hengsheng’s surging vitality, Lord Zhou’s previously calm face suddenly changed greatly.

He had long known that Li Hengsheng’s vitality was strong.

But only after truly feeling it did he realize how extraordinarily strong Li Hengsheng’s vitality was!

“Holy shit!”

A slang phrase burst from Lord Zhou’s mouth, and he took two steps back, looking at Li Hengsheng with astonishment.

“Old Four, what kind of Martial Arts are you cultivating? How can your vitality be this strong?” Lord Zhou had never seen such an extraordinary Transcendent Realm before.

No wonder you could defeat the Iron-faced Man at the Seventh Layer.

You truly have something to rely on.

Lord Zhou considered himself a genius, but when he was at the Peak of Nine Layers, he couldn’t compare to Li Hengsheng at all.

If his own vitality were compared to a small river, then Li Hengsheng’s was an ocean.

“So it’s really difficult for me to break through?” Li Hengsheng didn’t answer Lord Zhou’s question. The secret of the Divine Body of the Sun and Moon Immortal Devil is better known to fewer people.

He was more concerned about how he could break through.

“Difficult is an understatement; it’s incredibly difficult,” Lord Zhou sighed lightly. “When ordinary people break through the Qi Sea, their vitality transforms into Inner Strength, but because your vitality is too vast, the conversion is difficult, and more importantly, your physical body is too strong, so the Qi Sea barrier is also very strong, making it difficult to penetrate.”

“For ordinary disciples reaching the Peak of Nine Layers, a single Realm-Breaking Pill would usually suffice to help them break through the Qi Sea, but in your case… the success rate of using a Realm-Breaking Pill is probably very low,” Lord Zhou speculated.

“Then what other methods are there?” Li Hengsheng frowned, not expecting his strong physical body to be a problem.

It’s so difficult to enter the Postnatal Realm.

“Methods, well.” Lord Zhou pondered for a moment. “Under normal circumstances, you either rely on pills or try to break through yourself. But in your situation, the chance of breaking through the barrier on your own is very small. As for relying on pills, an ordinary Realm-Breaking Pill is probably not enough unless you obtain a high-grade Realm-Breaking Pill.”

“A high-grade Realm-Breaking Pill?” Li Hengsheng asked curiously. “Are pills graded as well?”

“Ordinary pills aren’t graded, like those you take during regular cultivation; they’re all the same. But high-grade pills are indeed graded, divided into nine grades,” Lord Zhou explained.

“For ordinary disciples, a single low-grade Realm-Breaking Pill could naturally help them break through, but for your situation, I’d estimate you need at least a Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill,” Lord Zhou said with a smirk, realizing his junior brother was indeed expensive to cultivate.

“Fifth Grade?” Li Hengsheng was stunned, then said, “Then I’ll go to the Main Peak to buy one later.”

“Not easy to buy,” Lord Zhou shrugged. “Whether we even have them at Dao Mountain Ancient Land is uncertain. After all, the pills here are made by our Alchemists, and their skill level is limited; providing for ordinary disciples is fine.”

“But asking them to concoct a Fifth Grade pill might be a bit difficult for them. Also, the higher the grade, the rarer the pill, and what price it’ll be is also unknown. However, you can ask the master for other possible solutions, as I’m unable to help here,” Lord Zhou advised.

Li Hengsheng nodded gravely.

Before long, the servants returned with the meat.

The two of them ate the roast chicken and drank all the wine.

Not to mention, the Tiger Pill Wine of the Feathered Profound White Tiger was indeed potent, containing abundant Spiritual Power, making the Inner Strength and vitality in the body feel restless, even more so than the impact of an average pill.

Even with Li Hengsheng’s physique, after drinking it, he felt a bit dizzy.

Unable to handle the alcohol.

Originally intending to ask Xu Muhai about breaking through, Li Hengsheng ended up sleeping soundly through the night, waking up around noon the next day.

Upon awakening, Lord Zhou was already gone.

Li Hengsheng didn’t expect himself to get so drunk after just half a pot of wine.

The alcohol was really strong.

He even blacked out a bit; he completely forgot what happened after drinking with Lord Zhou and was unsure if he had done anything embarrassing.

When Li Hengsheng wanted to ask Xu Muhai about the breakthrough, Xu Kui said there was a visitor.

Li Hengsheng was curious about who came.

When the visitor appeared before Li Hengsheng, he was somewhat surprised.

It was Yan Yuyun.

“Senior Brother Li,” Yan Yuyun said with a smile, showing her two little canine teeth. “Passing by Muhai Peak, I thought I’d check on Senior Brother. I hope I didn’t disturb your cultivation?”

“Not at all, I just got up. There’s usually not many visitors here at Cyan Rain Mountain, so you’re quite the rare guest, Junior Sister Yu Yuun. Please, have a seat,” said Li Hengsheng warmly because they are from the same region, and besides, the Yan family is his father’s employer.

After some small talk, Yan Yuyun said, “Senior Brother Li, I’m planning to go down the mountain.”

“Heading back to Changting Town?” Li Hengsheng asked, looking at Yan Yuyun.

“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve been back, so I thought I’d ask if you’d like to go with me,” Yan Yuyun said. “If we go together, it’d be quite convenient.”

“I…” Li Hengsheng was also eager to go back but thought for a moment and shook his head.

The previous experiences still left Li Hengsheng with lingering fears.

Moreover, Xu Muhai had mentioned that leaving Dao Mountain Ancient Land was very dangerous for Li Hengsheng until he had the ability to protect himself.

Initially, Li Hengsheng thought if he requested the Vast Sea Escort Agency to escort him back to Changting Town, his safety on the road could be guaranteed.

But what about after reaching Changting Town?

Li Hengsheng could handle himself, but what if members of the Longevity Sect suddenly appeared and endangered those around him?

Especially, Li Hengsheng didn’t want to bring any danger to his father, Li Changqing.

The people from the Longevity Sect were ruthless and might harm his father.

So Li Hengsheng decided not to go back for now; he would wait until he had the strength to protect his father before returning.

“Is that so? Well, I guess I’ll go back alone then,” Yan Yuyun’s eyes showed a trace of disappointment.

“By the way, Junior Sister, do you know anything about the recent activities of the Evergreen Commerce Association?” Li Hengsheng inquired with Yan Yuyun.
