Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

16: Chapter 16 Cultivation Soars, Waterfall CultivationThe next day.

As soon as he woke up, Su Xuan headed straight into the cultivation chamber.

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion, the contents of the ’Nine Yin Manual’ gradually surfaced in his mind:

”The Dao of Heaven reduces excess and supplements deficiency; thus, the insubstantial prevails over the substantial, and deficiency prevails over excess.

Its meaning is vast, its principles profound, its essence deep. The phenomena of heaven and earth are distinguished, the phases of Yin and Yang are arranged, the origins of change are revealed, and the signs of life and death are made clear. Without deliberate planning, the traces align naturally; without explicit agreement, the hidden and manifest harmonize...”

Following this, the content gradually transformed into specks of golden light, spreading from Su Xuan’s Heavenly Spirit Acupoint throughout the Meridians of his entire body.

Finally, it flowed slowly into his Dantian.

Su Xuan moved his palms, and the Internal Energy within his body began to circulate accordingly.

The newly acquired Nine Yin Internal Energy gradually fused with the Profound Art Internal Energy.

The nature of the Internal Energy grew increasingly profound and robust, continuously expanding his Meridians.

A moment later, Su Xuan opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing within them.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for reaching the entry stage of the ’Nine Yin Manual’.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully fusing the ’Nine Yin Manual’ with the ’Profound Art’.]

His Meridians had expanded again!

Now his Meridians were about ten times wider than an ordinary person’s.

In other words, in terms of Internal Energy alone, within the same Realm, he could fight ten opponents!

The Nine Yin Manual truly is extraordinary!

Su Xuan got up from the cushion and walked over to the large chests containing the medicinal herbs.

He opened the chests...

Instantly, he was captivated by the herbs before his eyes.

Century-old ginseng!

Lingzhi mushroom, one hundred and fifty years old!

And this one, and that one!

All were at least fifty years old.

There were a full twenty to thirty varieties!

This was enough raw material to brew five pots of mid-grade wine!

The Quanzhen Sect truly is wealthy!

You should know, over the past few years, he had scoured the entire area around Zhongnan Mountain and had only managed to gather enough for one pot of mid-grade wine...

Looking at the other ingredients already prepared in his system space, Su Xuan rubbed his hands together and spoke with his mind,

”Brew!”

In no time at all, the brewing was successful.

Su Xuan hurriedly opened the wine gourd, and the wine flowed into it slowly, like a Dragon sucking water in reverse.

Smelling the lingering aroma of wine in the air, Su Xuan swallowed his saliva.

He picked up the wine gourd and began drinking in large gulps.

”Gulp~” ”Gulp~” ”Gulp~” ”...”

[Ding! Internal Energy increased by 1.8 years!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Su Xuan, for breaking through to First-Class Late Stage!]

[Ding! Internal Energy increased by 1.2 years!]

[Ding! Internal Energy increased by 1.5 years!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for breaking through to First-Class Peak!]

[Ding! Internal Energy increased by 1.5 years!]

[Ding! Internal Energy increased by 2 years!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for breaking through to Innate Early Stage!]

”Burp, I’m stuffed!”

Only after finishing all five pots’ worth of wine did Su Xuan reluctantly let out a satisfied burp and wipe the wine stains from the corner of his mouth.

Without further delay, he tossed the gourd aside and sat back down on the cushion, starting to circulate his Cultivation Technique.

Stabilizing the suddenly surged Internal Energy within his body, a powerful surge of Internal Energy gradually rose around Su Xuan.

The Internal Energy was now mixed with faint traces of Innate Qi, something he had never possessed before.

Suddenly, Su Xuan jumped up from the cushion and threw a fierce punch at the thick wall of the chamber.

”Bang!”

The wall immediately cracked, leaving a clear fist-shaped indentation.

He retracted his fist, and some small pieces of rubble fell from the wall.

Su Xuan felt a force pent up inside him, unable to be unleashed.

This was truly a bit wasteful.

Su Xuan suddenly thought of something. He opened the chamber door and ran outside the Ancient Tomb.

He arrived beside a Waterfall in the back mountains of Zhongnan Mountain.

”Swoosh...”

Looking at the torrential Waterfall cascading down, Su Xuan grinned widely,

”This is exactly the feeling I wanted!”

Immediately, Su Xuan tore off his upper garment, revealing a lean, powerful, and perfectly sculpted physique, as if meticulously carved by the Creator.

Though only eight years old, he had the body of a twelve or thirteen-year-old.

Without hesitation, Su Xuan took a step into the air, activated his Lightness Skill, and flew towards the Waterfall.

As soon as he landed beneath the Waterfall, his foot slipped, nearly causing him to fall.

Fortunately, he adjusted in time and stood steadily under the Waterfall.

The rushing Waterfall crashed heavily onto Su Xuan’s body, yet a wild smile played on his lips.

He threw a punch!

A terrifying force, accompanied by profound Internal Energy, was unleashed.

Su Xuan felt the pent-up power within him erupting along with it.

His physical strength was also increasing rapidly.

Su Xuan repeated his fist techniques over and over, which worried Lin Chaoying, who was not far away.

Atop a large tree beside the Waterfall, Lin Chaoying stood poised on a single leaf.

Her delicate brows were tightly knit, her beautiful eyes filled with concern as she watched Su Xuan practicing his fists under the Waterfall.

Phew—thankfully, he was fine.

Xuaner, really! Why does he have to train in such a dangerous place!

He could reach the Peak of Jianghu just by following a steady cultivation routine, yet he insists on pushing himself so hard.

Lin Chaoying’s heart was full of reproachful thoughts, but her gaze never left Su Xuan for a moment.

She feared Su Xuan would be in danger.

As she watched, Lin Chaoying’s heart gradually calmed, and she noticed something peculiar.

Was that Innate Qi?!

Has Xuaner broken through to the Innate Realm?!

Wasn’t he only at First-Class Middle Stage yesterday?

Could it be that Xuaner consumed all those medicinal herbs?!

But even if he ate all those herbs, such a massive Breakthrough shouldn’t be possible, right?!

Those herbs, ranging from a few decades to over a century old, would at most strengthen the body and prolong life if consumed...

But this...

Her little disciple’s secrets were becoming more and more numerous...

Even she, his Master who spent every day with him, couldn’t see through him...

...

A few days later.

Mu Tingxue and Li Mochou finally emerged from seclusion.

”Young Miss, you...” Mu Tingxue was utterly stunned by the change in Lin Chaoying.

”Grandmaster, you’ve become so beautiful!” Li Mochou stood there dumbfounded, her gaze fixed on Lin Chaoying.

Lin Chaoying rolled her eyes gracefully and poked Li Mochou’s forehead,

”Are you saying your Grandmaster wasn’t beautiful before?”

Li Mochou clung to Lin Chaoying’s arm and chuckled, ”Of course not, Grandmaster was beautiful before too, but now she’s even more beautiful!”

”Such a smooth talker~” A woman beautifies herself for those who appreciate her. Lin Chaoying felt delighted inside, a smile unconsciously curling at the corner of her mouth.

Her eyes instinctively glanced at Su Xuan beside her.

”This is all thanks to Xuaner~”

”Xuaner?” Mu Tingxue looked somewhat puzzled at her precious son.

Li Mochou also turned her head, pouting as she looked at Su Xuan.

Su Xuan ran a few steps and threw himself into Mu Tingxue’s embrace,

”Mother~ You only just noticed your precious son?~”

Little Dragon Girl also trotted over to Mu Tingxue’s side and said softly, ”Master~”

Seeing Su Xuan’s ’playful and adorable’ act, Li Mochou rolled her eyes in her signature style.

In front of others, he’s a cute baby, a good child, but in front of her, he’s always bullying her and acting so full of himself!

”Ah~” Mu Tingxue gently stroked Little Dragon Girl’s hair before lightly tapping Su Xuan’s little head, scolding him affectionately, ”You little rascal~”

Su Xuan took out the bottle of jade bee nectar he had prepared beforehand from his embrace, opened the cap, and brought it to Mu Tingxue’s lips,

”Mother, drink this~”
