Chapter 187: Chapter 138: Breakthrough, Postnatal Realm!

“By the way, Grand Offering, this is a letter sent from the Medical King Valley.” At this moment, Yan Botao remembered the letter sent by the Medical King Valley. Previously, Li Changqing was in closed cultivation, so there was no rush to give it to Li Changqing.

Li Changqing took the letter and saw the cover; it was indeed from Mu Qingge to himself.

Sitting on a stone bench, Li Changqing opened the letter. Seeing several pages full of writing, Li Changqing couldn’t help but smile wryly. What on earth did Mu Qingge write to fill so many pages?

Starting to read it from the beginning.

The front was relatively normal.

It was just talking about some business matters. The Medical King Valley generally does not do business with commerce associations, mainly because they don’t see the need for it. The Medical King Valley lacks no wealth, and those who can do business with them are mostly large sects. Doing business with Evergreen Commerce Association was a first.

It was exclusive.

Moreover, the price Mu Qingge offered surprised Li Changqing pleasantly.

Originally, Li Changqing didn’t plan to make money from pills because having the authorization from the Medical King Valley was already an incredible feat. This gimmick alone was enough to attract customers to the Evergreen Commerce Association. Initially, as long as he didn’t lose money, Li Changqing didn’t care if he didn’t make a profit.

But now it seemed, Mu Qingge still left a certain profit margin for Evergreen Commerce Association.

As he read further, it mentioned the Ghost Grudge Curse.

“Ghost Vine Grass?” Li Changqing saw that this Ghost Vine Grass grows deep within the Cloud Wasteland, and he couldn’t help but frown.

Cloud Wasteland is a forbidden zone for humans. Hardly anyone who enters comes out alive because being identified as human in the Cloud Wasteland is like a Ghost Cultivator appearing in the Human Race’s world; you’d be hunted by all the Ghost Race.

At that time, you’d truly be surrounded by enemies.

To obtain Ghost Vine Grass, one must use some unorthodox methods.

Li Changqing believed that Medical King Valley would certainly find a way to obtain Ghost Vine Grass. Despite not being powerful in strength, the Medical King Valley’s abilities were not lacking.

Continuing to read, Li Changqing came across something in Mu Qingge’s letter that he found terrifying.

This matter left Li Changqing quite stunned.

Seeing a child in his youth.

And seeing the same child again when grown up?

How is this possible?

Even in a fantastical world like the Cangyuan Realm, it’s an incredible thing. Everyone desires eternal life, desires immortality, but who can truly resist time’s erosion throughout history?

Martial Artists with formidable cultivation might live up to two hundred years, which is already considered extremely long-lived.

However, reading about the child in Mu Qingge’s letter suddenly reminded Li Changqing of an incident.

It was when he, Mu Qingge, and others entered that Secret Realm, and he unintentionally saw something like the River of Time.

Li Changqing was certain that it wasn’t an illusion, he really saw it.

He distinctly remembered seeing a child standing on that River of Time.

Overlooking him.

That event puzzled Li Changqing for a long time because he never encountered such an occurrence again. Now, when Mu Qingge brought it up, he remembered it.

Just that Li Changqing didn’t know if these two incidents were related.

Continuing further, he read about Yin Changli earnestly practicing swordsmanship, hearing Mu Qingge’s complaints, Li Changqing couldn’t help but smile.

Yin Changli, that little guy, is cute, having a Mysterious Wood Body, yet he’s enamored with sword practice.

“Yin Changli…” Li Changqing blinked, “Could this surname have anything to do with Beihan Country’s royal family?”

After reading the letter, Li Changqing picked up pen and paper to reply to Mu Qingge.

First expressing his gratitude for Mu Qingge’s help.

Then explaining that he would also keep an eye out for the Ghost Vine Grass.

Additionally, regarding the child Mu Qingge saw, he advised Mu Qingge to be cautious and try to restrain his curiosity to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, Li Changqing shared some of the recent intelligence on the Longevity Sect with Mu Qingge, especially telling Mu Qingge that Yin Changli was on the Longevity Sect’s bounty list and reminded him to ensure Yin Changli’s safety.

After writing this letter, Li Changqing thought he should also write back to Li Hengsheng.

After all, he hadn’t replied to the letter Li Hengsheng sent previously.

But he was pondering how to write this reply.

After considering it all morning, it was clear that little Li Hengsheng was highly suspicious, always suspecting that the real Li Changqing had been possessed by someone.

Li Changqing found this notion quite troublesome.

He actually preferred slightly simpler-minded children; God graciously gave him a filial son, but did he have to make him so intelligent?

Isn’t this just adding stress?

Knowing when to eat when hungry, knowing to go to the restroom for nature’s call, and running home when it rains should be enough, right?

Yet now, while feeling father-son affection, he had to engage in mind games with his son, much like the Smith family.

In the end, Li Changqing called Yan Botao and asked him to get a Second Grade Realm-Breaking Pill for him.

Third Grade pills were hard to come by, but Second Grade Realm-Breaking Pills weren’t rare. Yan Botao directly had Evergreen Commerce Association acquire one, and promptly had Cangyuan Escort Agency rush it over.

Li Changqing, as usual, stuffed some silver notes into the envelope; not too much, just a hundred thousand taels.

Then sent the letter to the Mountain Ancient Land.

After being busy, Li Changqing had someone prepare hot water, then comfortably soaked in a bath.

Three days later at the Mountain Ancient Land.

Xue Qianbai received a package delivered by a disciple from the Mountain Ancient Land.

Seeing that the package was sent from Changting Town, Xue Qianbai pretty much guessed what it was.

But Xue Qianbai muttered to himself, “Such an important thing as a spatial ring, shouldn’t it be delivered in person?”

Upon opening a small box inside, a very beautiful ring appeared before Xue Qianbai.

The ring was entirely ink-colored, with a very attractive hue, and at the very front of the ring, there was even an engraving of a snowflake.

Seeing this snowflake, Xue Qianbai’s eyes lit up. Such a delicately engraved snowflake had been carved out completely by Li Changqing, and it was so lifelike that such craftsmanship was truly beyond most people’s capability.

Placing the ring on his finger, Xue Qianbai took a deep breath.

He had little desire for most things, but he had always wanted a spatial ring.

Yet, spatial rings were extremely rare in the Cangyuan Realm.

He never expected Li Changqing could actually create one.

So, he shamelessly asked for one.

As his Divine Soul merged into the spatial ring, Xue Qianbai’s once calm expression suddenly became vivid.

Seeing the spaciousness inside the ring, Xue Qianbai almost suspected he was dreaming.

The space within the ring was a full thirty cubic meters!

Xue Qianbai had heard that the largest known spatial ring in the Cangyuan Realm was merely nineteen cubic meters, which was already astonishingly big. However, the one Li Changqing gave him was unexpectedly this large!

Xue Qianbai couldn’t help but swallow; if this item were thrown out, it might cause a sensation across the entire Cangyuan Realm.

“Does this guy not know what a big deal this size of a spatial ring is?” Xue Qianbai speculated this was likely because he had previously found Xue Qianbai completely unaware of many things in the Cangyuan Realm.

If Li Changqing didn’t know how spacious the spatial rings in the Cangyuan Realm usually were and carelessly revealed the capacity of his own ring to others, he would likely invite huge trouble!

Thinking of this, Xue Qianbai couldn’t sit still anymore. With a whistle, the snow sculpture flew down, and Xue Qianbai stepped onto it, flying towards the lands beyond Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

He wanted to personally go to Changting Town to warn Li Changqing.

“Such a worry!”

Xue Qianbai said grumpily.

Just as Xue Qianbai was flying out of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Xu Muhai happened to be returning from outside.

Xu Muhai looked up to see Xue Qianbai hurrying away and was somewhat surprised at what was so urgent.

After a trip to Celestial Sea City, Xu Muhai had expended a huge cost to gather significant intelligence about the Longevity Sect.

At the same time, Xu Muhai also learned that to remove his Ghost Grudge Curse, he would need a pill crafted by Medical King Valley. The pill was not difficult to make, but it required an herb called Ghost Vine Grass, found only in the depths of the Cloud Wasteland and nowhere within the Human Race territories.

Nevertheless, Xu Muhai had issued a reward in Celestial Sea City, promising a bounty of fifty thousand Merit Points for anyone who could find the Ghost Vine Grass!

This was almost all of Xu Muhai’s wealth.

But for his life, if he could find the Ghost Vine Grass, it would be worth it.

Upon returning to Mu Hai Peak, Xu Muhai got an update on recent events and saw a package Li Changqing had sent him to pass on to Li Hengsheng.

“What is it?” Seeing it was a box, Xu Muhai shook it slightly, hearing the sounds inside, guessing it was another wood carving.

“Another treasure for his son.” Xu Muhai was practically green with envy, wishing he had such a good father.

Poor qualifications could be compensated with great treasures!

While Li Hengsheng’s aptitude was lacking, he was still being nurtured by such a good father!

The small tripod Xu Muhai gifted him previously had recently led Xu Muhai to comprehend a new set of martial arts, and he felt his own cultivation was nearing a breakthrough!

With a little more time, he too could step into the realm of Innate Great Perfection.

And become a Grandmaster.

Before he left, he registered Li Hengsheng for the Ghostly Realm trial, although Xu Muhai currently had no idea if Li Hengsheng had broken through to the Postnatal Realm.

Thus, Xu Muhai went directly to Cyan Rain Mountain.

He also brought the treasure for Li Hengsheng.

Cyan Rain Mountain was very calm, with everyone working in order, the small courtyard elegant and spotless.

“Master, you’re here.” Xu Kui saw Xu Muhai arrive and quickly came up, respectfully greeting him.

“Where’s Hengsheng?” Xu Muhai asked.

“The young master hasn’t come out of seclusion yet.” Xu Kui quickly replied, aware that Li Hengsheng had been in seclusion to break through, but after so many days, there was still no sign, which seemed a bit strange.

Normally, breaking through from the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm to the Postnatal Realm would take just a day, yet Li Hengsheng had been at it for half a month already, and still hadn’t emerged.

“Boom!”

At that moment, a loud explosion sounded, with a wave of energy sweeping out. Xu Kui and Xu Muhai looked sharply in that direction, the blast making their clothes flap wildly.

A powerful force of inner strength erupted, Xu Muhai and Xu Kui felt as if a savage beast was awakening in that direction!

“Did the young master breakthrough?” Xu Kui was a bit shocked. Was it supposed to be this dramatic to break through from the Ninth Layer of the Mortal Realm to the Postnatal Realm?

Xu Muhai narrowed his eyes.

The “Zhao Mountain Gazing at Immortals Map” Li Hengsheng was cultivating was indeed remarkable.

This kind of physique, the terrifying inner strength could be felt from so far away, no wonder it required such a long breakthrough.

Previously, Li Hengsheng’s internal power had been incredibly strong, and Xu Muhai speculated that for Li Hengsheng to break through to the Postnatal Realm would be almost impossible. He had intended to see if Li Hengsheng had difficulty in breaking through, he would find a way to assist, but little did he expect Li Hengsheng would actually break through the shackles.

Before long, Xu Muhai and Xu Kui saw Li Hengsheng approaching from afar.

Even from a distance, both of them could sense the explosive power contained within Li Hengsheng’s body.

It had risen by several notches compared to before!

His physique was almost comparable to that of a Spirit Beast.

Surrounded by the light of the sun and moon, it seemed as if there was a power capable of twisting the very fabric of the heavens and earth.
