He didn’t harbor much suspicion towards Shopkeeper Wu’s words.
Xingsheng Pavilion was the most famous shop in East City County, naturally connected to the Immortal Cultivation Clan, the Chen Family.
It was precisely because of this that they had the confidence to declare, "What others lack, we provide; our products are the finest."
"By the way, there is indeed one item, Vice Sect Leader Situ Ming of the Righteous Sect, wields a Heart-Burning Fla Spear, supposedly forged from Fire Source Golden Crystal, which is a spiritual object containing fire attribute innate qi.
However, that Heart-Burning Fla Spear is his treasure, and he would never let it go."
Seemingly to show off his knowledge, Shopkeeper Wu suddenly spoke up.
"Righteous Sect?"
Bai Ziyue asked in confusion.
"It seems that you have just recently arrived in East City County, sir. The Righteous Sect is one of the few top martial arts sects in East City County with innate realm martial artists.
The sect leader, Jii Haoran, is a person of the martial arts innate realm.
And Vice Sect Leader Situ Ming is also a first-class expert in the mid-to-late stage. His strength is quite formidable, and after crafting this Heart-Burning Fla Spear a few years ago, it’s as if he has grown wings.
It’s said that recently he even killed Wuping, who was also a mid-to-late stage first-class expert, gaining massive prestige."
Shopkeeper Wu spoke with a slight admiration.
"Thanks for the information!"
Bai Ziyue expressed his gratitude, but his brows furrowed slightly.
After a brief consideration, he ultimately decided to give up on the idea of asking Situ Ming for the Heart-Burning Fla Spear for now.
*Although confident, he was more cautious and absolutely unwilling to easily provoke martial artists above the innate realm unless necessary.*
Upon exiting Xingsheng Pavilion, the coachman hurriedly approached him with respect, asking, "Where would you like to go next, sir?"
"Find a good inn."
Bai Ziyue said, his gaze sweeping around the vicinity of Xingsheng Pavilion, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"*It seems this innate pill on has indeed made so people’s thoughts restless.*"
*With a slight sigh, Bai Ziyue wasn’t too concerned in his heart.*
*As long as no one above the innate realm takes action, no one would be able to snatch anything from him.*
He even vaguely anticipated, expecting more people to make a move, so that he could take them all down at once later.
"However, there’s no need to rush.
Right now, the most important thing for is to wait for the attribute panel upgrade.
There’s only a little over three days left until the optimization is complete.
Once the upgrade is finished, my strength will also enhance once more. It won’t be too late to confront them then."
Bai Ziyue thought to himself, then got into the carriage.
...
In a room filled with an ancient fragrance, two people sat across from each other.
One of them was an elderly man, with gray hair but extrely muscular arms, as if horses could race on them. This was none other than the Chief of the Four Seas Escort Agency, Iron Fist Invincible Wang Zheng.
The other person had a fair face and sharp eyes like a hawk, appearing sowhat imposing, though he looked like a middle-aged man.
Looking at Wang Zheng, his tone was calm as he asked, "Brother Wang, you don’t co to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
I wonder what brings you here this ti?"
"Recently, Brother Ming, your fa has been imnse.
On my way here, at least three tis, I heard people talking about your battle with Wuping.
Brother Ming’s Heart-Burning Fla Spear is rumored to spread beyond East City County, throughout the entire Wuu Kingdom soon."
Wang Zheng gave a slight praise, seeing the other party unmoved, he collected himself and said, "There’s a deal, I’ve pondered over it for a long ti and decided to bring you in. I’m not sure if Brother Ming is interested?"
"I wonder what deal it is, that even you, Iron Fist Invincible, can’t handle on your own?"
Situ Ming asked with mild curiosity.
"The opponent’s martial arts realm isn’t strong, just a second-class expert at the peak. However, he has a record of killing a first-class expert.
I think you’ve heard, Yang Jingtian from Tiger Roar in the Forest was killed by him, likely hiding so technique.
That’s why, to be cautious, I thought of you, Brother Ming."
"Is it him?"
Situ Ming’s body shook. Yang Jingtian from Tiger Roar in the Forest was not weak at all, especially his sound technique, which even Situ Ming found hard to completely defend against.
He contemplated for a mont, deciding to refuse.
Not to ntion that soone capable of killing a first-class expert like Yang Jingtian must be extraordinary.
But simply joining forces to ambush a second-class expert, would be disgraceful if revealed, not fitting his now illustrious identity.
Hence, feigning regret, he sighed and said, "The more active one becos, the more they should seek calm; the sect leader also advised that I’ve been drawing too much attention lately and should lay low.
I likely can’t assist Brother Wang’s endeavor."
"Oh? Really? I didn’t expect Brother Ming wouldn’t even consider an innate pill. Since that’s the case, then I must take my leave."
Wang Zheng’s expression remained unchanged, his tone utterly calm. He then stood up with the intention to leave.
"Wait, what did you say? An innate pill?"
Situ Ming was startled, seemingly incredulous, and promptly asked, "Where is he? When will we act? How do we divide the spoils?"
...
In a refined and spacious room, a stick of Calm Spirit Incense was lit, the lingering dharma incense smoke transford into strands of white mist resembling coiling dragons, diffusing throughout the room.
The mist was involuntarily inhaled by a figure sitting on the edge of the bed.
That figure was Bai Ziyue.
Under the influence of the Calm Spirit Incense, his heart spirit beca calr, though the faintly powerful aura emitted from his body indicated that he was in the midst of practice.
After a long while, he slightly opened his eyes, a glimr of divine light flashing within them.
"After such a long ti of deep cultivation, my inner power operation map is about to be completely unobstructed.
Now I only need to clear the remaining two mystic ridians,
and I can truly complete inner circulation cultivation, officially stepping into the ranks of first-class experts.
And most importantly, this breakthrough to a first-class expert will be achieved through my own efforts."
```
Bai Ziyue took a deep breath, feeling a little exhilarated.
All along, his breakthroughs in power had relied on the Attribute Panel.
Cases where he broke through on his own were rare.
This left a kind of regret in his heart.
And now, he was about to rectify this regret.
"Tonight, I will make my breakthrough!"
Thinking this, he once again closed his eyes, controlling the inner strength within his body, and continuously pushed it toward the tiny ridian between the Ren ridian and the Du ridian.
Once, twice, three tis...
As if he never tired, his inner strength rapidly depleted.
Ten tis, a hundred tis, a thousand tis...
Suddenly, he felt a slight loosening at that blocked point.
Imdiately, his spirits lifted.
"Now is the ti!"
Finally, with Bai Ziyue’s low shout, the inner strength within him gathered and ford into a sharp knife, making another charge forward.
Bang!
Like a raging river, it surged violently, rushing downward.
The last layer of obstruction broke open.
The Twelve Main ridians and the Eight Great Strange ridians finally connected.
In an instant, the inner strength within Bai Ziyue’s dantian swirled up, like a torrent swiftly departing from the dantian, flowing rapidly along the Twelve Main ridians and Eight Great Strange ridians.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
At first, it was difficult and dry.
But as ti passed, the inner strength accumulated more and more, and the driving force increased, advancing like a bamboo shoot, carrying a gentle power amidst the surge.
His ridians widened, and the speed of the inner strength’s rotation increased accordingly.
It seed to carry a powerful montum.
Half an hour later.
Buzz!
Bai Ziyue’s body jolted as his inner strength completed its first inner circulation.
In an instant, a series of cracking sounds echoed from Bai Ziyue’s body.
At this mont, his bones, flesh, and skin seed to undergo a transformation from the inside out, shaking rapidly.
Threads of sweat, blood, and gri continuously expelled from the deepest parts of his body.
Purification of the ridians!
In fact, it had been a long ti since Bai Ziyue had undergone such a transformation.
But this ti, breaking through from a Second-class Expert to a First-class Expert, he transford.
It was not just a physical change; inside his body, the Purple Mansion Creation Technique’s inner strength within the dantian refined the mont the first inner circulation completed.
From the original ten strands, it refined into a single strand.
Subsequently, this strand of inner strength poured into the dantian, distinguishably separate from the original inner strength, not mixing at all.
But he could clearly feel the purity and strength of this inner strength.
*"This is why a First-class Expert far surpasses a Second-class Expert.
Utilizing such pure inner strength naturally enhances the power of equivalent techniques exponentially."*
Thinking this, Bai Ziyue quickly urged the inner strength to circulate, flowing into his arms from the shoulders.
He imdiately discovered that executing the sa technique, the total amount of inner strength seed unchanged, but because the inner strength was refined, the total inner strength contained in the technique increased tenfold from before.
Of course, because his body had just broken through, his arms could not bear such powerful force.
Therefore, this ti, his arms were only infused with twice the previous amount of inner strength.
Strike out!
Bang!
The void exploded, and the air in front of his fist was pushed open, faintly forming a vacuum area.
The power was doubled from before.
*"A First-class Expert is indeed formidable.
When my body can withstand the full circulation of inner strength, my power will surely increase more than tenfold from now.
Even now, because of the purity of my inner strength, my power has already increased more than double."*
Bai Ziyue compared to himself inwardly, a joyful smile appearing on his face.
This breakthrough relied entirely on his strength.
This sense of accomplishnt excited and moved him even more.
After a while, he cald his emotions sowhat and began cultivating to stabilize his current realm.
The inner strength continued to circulate, forming an inner cycle, refining his inner strength to purity.
After a long ti, Bai Ziyue slightly opened his eyes.
*"The path of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation.
To completely refine the inner strength into purity within will likely require a period of deep cultivation, so there is no rush.
During this ti, it’s about ti I completed what previously was inconvenient to finish."*
Thinking this, Bai Ziyue flipped his hand, and imdiately, a black fabric banner appeared in his hand.
It was the Soul-Gathering Banner.
Previously, he had been refining this Soul-Gathering Banner, about to elevate it to a High-level Dharma Artifact.
But due to encountering Fan Qingyu and others, it was inconvenient, so he gave up on continuing to set restrictions for the enhancent.
Now, as he had ti, he naturally wanted to complete what was left unfinished.
