As soon as he found Zhou Xiao, what surprised Su Hao was that before he could speak, Zhou Xiao had already taken out a letter and handed it to Su Hao.
Seeing Su Hao's puzzled expression, Zhou Xiao explained,"" Two days ago, the headquarters sent this letter. It was sent by the Palace Masters. They summoned all the Hall Masters to the headquarters of the Divine Martial Palace, Wuji City, to attend a gathering.”
"A letter from headquarters? Gather all the hall masters?"
Su Hao was slightly surprised.
But then, Su Hao nodded slightly.""I understand."
There were four martial arts grandmasters in the Divine Martial Celestial Palace. Now, they had gathered all the hall masters of the Divine Martial Celestial Palace to gather at the headquarters. Perhaps something had happened, and Su Hao needed to ask if the Divine Martial Celestial Palace had any spiritual herbs stored. It was a good time to go.
Su Hao of Wuji City was also famous!
Wuji City was a holy land for martial artists in the Great Xia Dynasty. There were many martial sects stationed there, and the Divine Martial Celestial Palace was one of them. It could be said that it was a place where experts gathered!
That afternoon, Su Hao set off for Wuji City.
Wuji City was home to a large number of martial arts sects, and countless warriors would travel thousands of miles to come here, hoping to join a martial arts sect and cultivate martial arts.
Five days later, Su Hao looked at the huge city wall that appeared in front of him. After five days of traveling, he finally arrived at Wuji City.
Su Hao entered the city. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, Su Hao couldn't help but be a little surprised."The ratio of martial artists is too high. There are two or three martial artists in almost every ten people!”
Many pedestrians on the road were armed with weapons and walked like dragons and tigers. Wuji City was a holy land where warriors gathered. The number of warriors in Wuji City was far from comparable to other cities.
" Head to the Divine Martial Celestial Palace."
Su Hao asked some pedestrians along the way and easily found out the location of the Divine Martial Palace.
The Divine Martial Heavenly Palace in Wuji City was the headquarters of the Divine Martial Heavenly Palace. Su Hao arrived outside the Divine Martial Heavenly Palace. The headquarters of the Divine Martial Heavenly Palace was located in the center of Wuji City. It was as luxurious as a series of palaces. Just its magnificent appearance alone could not be compared to the branches in other cities.
"May I ask if there's anything you need?"
Su Hao's arrival made several warriors at the entrance of the Divine Martial Palace's headquarters say politely.
"I'm Su Hao, the hall master of the Turin branch. I received a few letters from the Palace Masters and came here.”
Su Hao reported his name.
" It's…It's Hall Master Su Hao!"
What surprised Su Hao was that when he announced his name, those martial artists were stunned at first, then became extremely excited. Their expressions were full of respect and shock.
"Hall Master Su Hao…Please wait a moment. I'll inform the Palace Master immediately.”
A martial artist came back to his senses and said respectfully.
This scene made Su Hao speechless, but in fact, Su Hao was a famous figure in the Divine Martial Palace. He killed Feng Hu and easily defeated the old grandmaster of the Heavenly Xuan Sect. Not long ago, Su Hao even killed the demonic experts, Traceless Blood and Luo Mo. These were two Peak Grandmasters!
The entire Divine Martial Celestial Palace believed that Su Hao would advance to the Great Grandmaster Realm sooner or later and become the fifth Palace Master of the Divine Martial Celestial Palace. Naturally, they were extremely excited to see Su Hao in person.
Not long after, a large group of people walked out from the Divine Martial Celestial Palace. Their eyes were dazzling and their auras were extraordinary. They were all grandmasters with profound cultivation!
Su Hao also saw a familiar face among them. It was Fang Shi, the former superior of Su Hao's father, Su Tian. He was also the one who introduced Su Hao to the Divine Martial Heavenly Palace.
"Are you Su Hao? We've been wanting to see you for a long time. You're indeed a talented person with a heroic bearing!”
At this moment, a handsome man with white hair and the charm of a mature man smiled. He also revealed a temperament that seemed to be one with the surrounding world. His strength was definitely unfathomable.
"He is…Grandmaster Nan Wunian.”
When Su Hao saw this person, he immediately determined his identity. Nan Wunian, one of the four Palace Masters of the Divine Martial Celestial Palace, looked to be in his forties or fifties, but his real age was already over a hundred.
"Let's go in and talk first. Let's have a good gathering today.”
The other white-haired old man said.
Although this white-haired elder had white hair, he was taller than the young people. He was also one of the four Palace Masters of the Divine Martial Celestial Palace. His name was Li Tiangang, and he had been a great grandmaster for half a sixty-year cycle.
Su Hao's arrival was welcomed by the two Palace Masters of the Divine Martial Celestial Palace. This was undoubtedly a sign of respect.
"I didn't expect Su Hao to become the pillar of the Divine Martial Celestial Palace so quickly. Even the two Palace Masters came out to welcome him personally. Moreover, it won't be long before Su Hao becomes the fifth Palace Master of the Divine Martial Celestial Palace.”
Fang Shi smiled bitterly when he saw this scene. Su Hao was just a fledgling a few months ago in Black Night City, but now his reputation was known throughout the martial arts world. He was the most popular rising star recently.
The group entered the Divine Martial Celestial Palace.
In a hall, everyone was seated. At this moment, a hall master could not help but ask,"Palace Masters, you didn't gather all of us here from such a long distance just for a gathering, right?”
The expressions of the other hall masters also changed. They also felt that something must have happened.
The white-haired old man, Li Tiangang, smiled and said,""There's indeed something. Wuji City controls a spirit stone mine that is jointly developed by the Divine Martial Heavenly Palace and the Black Tortoise Divine Sect. Every ten years, both sects will hold a martial arts competition to decide how to distribute the spirit stones mined in the next ten years.”
Everyone was shocked.
Wuji City had a large number of martial arts sects stationed there. The strongest among them were the Divine Martial Heavenly Palace and the Black Tortoise Divine Sect.
These two sects were the top sects in the martial arts world. The Black Tortoise Divine Sect was not much weaker than the Divine Martial Celestial Palace.
One of the main reasons why Wuji City was so prosperous and had so many martial arts sects gathered was because there was a spirit stone mine in Wuji City.
Spirit stones were treasures to cultivators, but they were also treasures and cultivation resources to warriors.
Only the Divine Martial Heavenly Palace and the Black Tortoise Divine Sect were qualified to compete for the distribution of the spirit stone mine's profits in Wuji City. The two sides would hold a martial arts competition every ten years. Other than displaying the strength of their respective sects to intimidate the other sects, they would also decide the distribution of the spirit stones mined according to the outcome.
The winner would receive more spirit stones in the next ten years, while the loser would naturally receive less!
Therefore, the two great sects placed great importance on the Fight Meet.
When a hall master heard this, he said in surprise,"Summoning us here to participate in this Martial Competition?”
Nan Wunian shook his head and said," The Martial Arts Competition is of great importance. We old fellows will be the ones to participate in it. However, it's best for you to see it with your own eyes."”
"I see."
Many of the hall masters who didn't understand the situation nodded in understanding.
The martial grandmasters of the Divine Martial Palace would be participating in the Martial Competition this time, and the Black Tortoise Divine Sect would also send out their martial grandmasters. A battle between martial grandmasters was undoubtedly rare. It was a grand occasion, and it was a good thing for the hall masters to be there to observe and broaden their horizons. Moreover, it would also strengthen the prestige of the Divine Martial Palace!
After the meal, everyone left to rest. The martial arts competition between the two sects was in a month.
Su Hao did not leave. He said to Nan Wunian and Li Tiangang,""Palace Masters, do we have any spirit herbs in our headquarters? I want to make a medicinal bath to practice.”
Su Hao hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit.
"Spiritual medicine. Those that can be called spiritual medicine are at least hundred-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed, and other natural treasures. They are extremely rare!”Hearing this, Nan Wunian asked in surprise.
Natural treasures usually grew in remote mountains and were extremely rare.
"No?" Su Hao was a little disappointed. He had underestimated the rarity of a natural treasure that could be called a spirit herb.
Li Tiangang thought for a moment and said,""Some time ago, I went deep into the Desolate Mountain Range and obtained a thousand-year-old blood ginseng. This should be useful to you, right?”
Nan Wunian, who was beside him, was moved."Brother Li, didn't you prepare this thousand-year-old blood ginseng for your granddaughter?”
Tiangang Li was a martial grandmaster himself, but his granddaughter did not practice martial arts like him. Instead, she was tested to have spiritual roots and joined a Qi Refinement sect. Her aptitude was extraordinary, and she had already reached the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage. If she was one step further, she would be in the Foundation Establishment Stage. In the Qi Refinement sect, the Foundation Establishment Stage was the cornerstone and the absolute elite.
For this reason, Li Tiangang took the risk to enter the desolate mountain range occupied by demon beasts and picked a thousand-year-old blood ginseng. He wanted his granddaughter to build her foundation as soon as possible.
But now, Li Tiangang was prepared to give the thousand-year-old blood ginseng to Su Hao.
"Palace Master Li, this is too precious. I can't accept it." Su Hao immediately declined.”
However, Li Tiangang laughed and said," My granddaughter wrote to me two months ago. She has already successfully completed her foundation establishment. She doesn't need this thousand-year-old blood ginseng.”
"I see…Congratulations, Brother Li.”Nan Wunian was a little surprised.
Li Tiangang had a storage bag on his waist. He took out a jade box from it and placed it on the table. He said,"Su Hao, your future achievements will definitely be higher than mine. Perhaps I will still need to rely on you.”
Su Hao's talent was extraordinary. It was only a matter of time before he became a martial grandmaster. It was definitely worth investing in Su Hao.
Su Hao indeed needed this thousand-year-old blood ginseng to cultivate the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture as soon as possible. He didn't argue and finally said gratefully,""Thank you, Palace Master Li!"
Now that he had received Li Tiangang's benefits, he could repay it later.
"We're all family, there's no need to be so polite. In the future, your chances of returning to the Xiantian realm are greater than ours.”
Li Tiangang smiled.
When Su Hao heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he said,""How can I return to the innate state?”
Su Hao also knew that even a Grandmaster or a Great Grandmaster was no different from a first or second-rate martial artist. They were in the Houtian realm, and every martial artist's goal was to enter the Xiantian realm. However, Su Hao himself didn't know what conditions must be met to return to the Xiantian realm.
Nan Wunian did not hide anything and said,""It's not difficult to go from the Postnatal to the Connate stage. To go from the Postnatal stage to the Connate stage, the first thing you have to do is to cultivate to the Great Grandmaster stage. Next…you have to refine the Connate Qi.”
"Innate Qi?" Su Hao was slightly surprised. This was the first time he had heard of this innate Qi.
" Innate Qi, this is something born from the heavens and earth. In the world, there are many blessed lands or places with abundant spiritual energy. However, these places are all controlled by the Qi Practitioners. To Qi Practitioners, the Innate Qi is also a top-notch treasure. If Qi Practitioners have the Innate Qi to assist them in their Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, not only will their chances of breaking through be higher, but they will also be much stronger than their peers after breaking through. Once they discover it, they will definitely take it away."Therefore, it can be said that it's extremely difficult for us martial artists to obtain a wisp of Connate Qi.”
Nan Wunian sighed.
Innate Qi was an extremely mystical treasure that was born in some special places. Usually, once the innate Qi was born, it would be collected by the Qi Practitioner Sect.
The innate Qi was no less useful to Qi Practitioners than it was to martial artists.
When refining magic treasures, infusing Connate Qi could greatly increase the power of the magic treasures. When refining medicinal pills, it could turn the rotten into magical!
Even in the Qi Refining sects, only the top geniuses had the chance to receive a wisp of Innate Qi from the sect. Of course, the premise was that the sect also had Innate Qi.
"Connate Qi is born in a blessed land with mountains and rivers?”Su Hao frowned, this meant that the innate Qi was almost monopolized by the Qi Practitioner sects.
Seeing Su Hao's expression, Li Tiangang said,""There's another way to obtain Xiantian Qi. Some Xiantian lifeforms that are extremely powerful at the Xiantian level have Xiantian Qi in their bodies. For example, Xiantian warriors or…fiendish demons. If you can kill a Xiantian warrior or a fiendish demon, you might have a chance to extract some Xiantian Qi from their bodies.”
"Demons?"
Su Hao was stunned.
Connate Qi was also contained in the bodies of some living beings. For example, Connate warriors who had returned to Connate from Postnatal had Connate Qi in their bodies.
Other than that, creatures like demons and devils were innate creatures.
The so-called innate creatures were actually creatures that were extremely powerful from birth. For example, humans needed to cultivate after birth to become powerful. They were acquired creatures!
As for demons, they did not need to cultivate. As long as they reached adulthood, they would possess strength that most cultivators could not compare to. This was a Xiantian creature!
"Isn't it too difficult to obtain Innate Qi?”
Su Hao clicked his tongue. The first method was to obtain the innate Qi from the grotto-heavens. However, those who could occupy the grotto-heavens were all Qi Practitioners with top-tier Qi Practitioners. Stealing it from them was no different from courting death.
The second method was to kill the other Xiantian warriors and extract the Xiantian Qi from their bodies. Then, he could challenge the Xiantian warriors who had completed the return to the Xiantian realm with the strength of a Houtian warrior? This was also almost impossible!
The third method was to kill demons. It seemed a little more reliable, but the difficulty was not just a little bit.
Firstly, the demons were a race that existed since ancient times, and they were almost extinct now. They were extremely rare, and it was not easy to encounter a demon. Secondly, even the weakest demon was comparable to a peak foundational Qi Practitioner. It was uncertain whether a martial grandmaster would be able to win against such a demon.
Su Hao couldn't help but ask,"Is there really a Xiantian warrior who can return to the Xiantian realm from the Postnatal Realm in this world?"”
Li Tiangang laughed and said," Of course there are. There are still some great grandmasters who are lucky enough to obtain the Innate Qi and complete their transformation. Moreover, many of the direct descendants of these Innate Warriors are born with the Innate Body. It is much easier for them to cultivate than ordinary warriors. My grandfather's grandfather was an Innate Warrior. Unfortunately, after so many generations, I did not inherit his physique.”
Once he returned to the Innate Realm from the Postnatal Realm, it would be completely different. His aptitude and comprehension would be greatly improved, and he would be able to learn ordinary martial arts at once. His lifespan would also be greatly increased, and it would not be strange for him to live for hundreds of years.
Many descendants of Xiantian Realm warriors inherited the Xiantian Body at birth and were blessed by the heavens!
Therefore, there were actually more Connate Realm martial artists than imagined. Every Connate Realm martial artist longed to advance further and reach a higher realm. They were all Dao Seekers!
"It's too difficult to obtain Connate Qi. Don't think too much about it first. I'll cultivate to the Great Grandmaster Realm first.”
Su Hao felt a headache coming on. Many masters were stuck in the realm of master, not because they were not talented enough, but because they did not have the innate Qi to help them complete their transformation. It was too difficult to obtain the innate Qi, and both strength and luck were indispensable!
Su Hao didn't think too much about it. He was still young and had plenty of opportunities.
The conversation with the two martial grandmasters was quite fruitful and solved many of Su Hao's doubts.
Su Hao stayed in the headquarters of the Divine Martial Palace and waited for the Martial Arts Competition to begin in a month.
Su Hao didn't stay idle either. In a cultivation room, Su Hao took out a jade box. It was the thousand-year-old blood ginseng that he had just obtained from Li Tiangang.
This thousand-year-old blood ginseng was obtained by Li Tiangang from the Desolate Mountain Range. He was going to give it to his granddaughter who had entered a Qi Practitioner sect. However, she had already completed the Foundation Establishment, so this thousand-year-old blood ginseng was given to Su Hao.
Whoosh!
As soon as he opened the jade box, a medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air, making one feel relaxed and happy.
Su Hao looked into the jade box and saw a blood-colored ginseng inside. This ginseng looked like it was carved from blood jade and had a kind of artistic beauty.
"Let's begin."
Su Hao didn't hesitate. He made a big bucket of hot water and then cut the hundred-year-old blood ginseng into pieces.
Not long after, the large bucket of hot water had turned into the color of blood jade, and the fragrance assailed his nostrils. A bucket of spiritual medicine bath was completed!
"I owe you a favor for this thousand-year-old blood ginseng. Don't drop the ball!”
Su Hao silently said in his heart that Yijin Jing still needed to be soaked in a medicinal bath to cultivate. Now, Su Hao had to fulfill this condition.
After taking off his clothes, Su Hao stepped into a tub of medicinal bath.
Whoosh!
Su Hao was immersed in the medicinal bath, and the medicinal power was absorbed by his body, making him moan in pleasure.
This hundred-year-old blood ginseng had the effect of strengthening one's physique and qi and blood, but it was actually not very effective for Su Hao, whose body was already extremely strong.
"Ding…your Yijin Jing has been soaked in a spirit herb medicinal bath. You are in a good mood and satisfied. Your cultivation speed has increased by 1000 times!”
As Su Hao absorbed the medicinal effect, a crisp and pleasant system notification finally sounded in his ears.
"Good! I'm finally satisfied!"
Su Hao's eyes lit up. It had been more than a month since he had obtained the Tendon Changing Classic, but because he was not satisfied with this proud Tendon Changing Classic, his Tendon Changing Classic had been cultivating slowly and was only at the beginner level. Now that he was soaking in the medicinal bath, he was finally satisfied with the Tendon Changing Classic, and his cultivation speed directly soared to a thousand times.
"Start cultivating!"
Su Hao immediately started cultivating Tendon Changing Classic. This time, his Tendon Changing Classic was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Tendon Changing Classic was divided into seven levels. With each level, the body would undergo a cleansing and transformation. The body would be able to accommodate more Gang Qi. After cultivating it to perfection, even a strand of hair on the body could store Gang Qi. A real strand of hair could kill without a trace!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the first level of Tendon Changing Classic!”
After a day, Su Hao's Tendon Changing Classic progressed quickly into the first realm while he was in a good mood.
Boom!
Su Hao felt a warm current spread throughout his body. His bones, muscles, and blood were transforming. His body, which had already reached its limit, had grown a little, and Su Hao's dantian had also expanded.
Originally, Su Hao's dantian had only been used up to half, but now that his entire dantian had been developed, the amount of Gang Qi he could store had doubled!
This was only the first level of Tendon Changing Classic.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the second level of Tendon Changing Classic!”
Another two days passed, and Su Hao's Tendon Changing Classic entered the second realm. Su Hao's physical body underwent another transformation, and he discovered that Gang Qi was born in his meridians. Even his meridians could store Gang Qi!
