Becoming a god by following the natural order and seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Chapter 97 Innate! Innate!
"What?! You want to try to break through to the Innate Realm?!"

Inside the county government office, after Wu Kuang heard Chen Sheng's words, the teacup in his hand trembled violently, and a few drops of scalding tea splashed out, but he was completely unaware, only staring at the other party with his tiger-like eyes.

A look of astonishment crossed his eyes.

Although he had recently heard that Chen Sheng was suspected of obtaining innate spiritual energy, he never considered the possibility that the other party was about to break through, as it was simply too terrifying.

How long has it been since Chen Sheng broke through to the Marrow Transformation Realm?
At most, it will take a month or so, right?
Is he about to break through to the Innate Realm?!
Wu Kuang felt it was somewhat unreal, after all, when he truly promoted Chen Sheng, he was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, the Bright Breath Realm, and it had only been a few months since then.

How could it be so fast?

It should be noted that he had spent nearly ten years cultivating to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but even so, he still felt that his foundation was insufficient and dared not easily attempt to break through.

Because if a breakthrough is not achieved, at best the foundation will be damaged, and at worst the person will perish on the spot.

The violent primordial energy of heaven and earth is not like gentle internal energy; if one is not careful, it may damage the meridians and internal organs.

But looking at Chen Sheng's genuine expression, Wu Kuang seemed to have no choice but to believe it.

After a moment's thought, Wu Kuang frowned deeply and, with unprecedented seriousness, offered his advice:

"Breaking through to the Innate Realm is no easy feat. Are you confident? You must not act rashly. There are still three opportunities to break through to the Marrow Transformation Realm, but if you are not confident in breaking through to the Innate Realm, you will damage your foundation, and it will be much more difficult to break through in the future."

Wu Kuang originally planned to help Chen Sheng break through to the Innate Realm first, and then he would help Chen Sheng. In this way, Chen Sheng's foundation would give him a better chance of breaking through in the future. However, he never expected that Chen Sheng would go ahead of him.

"Rest assured, County Commandant, since I dare to try, I must have some confidence in my abilities."

Chen Sheng met Wu Kuang's gaze with a firm and focused look, showing no sign of wavering.

"So, why have you come here?"

Wu Kuang hesitated, clearly realizing that Chen Sheng seemed to have something in mind.

Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment, then spoke directly:
"My lord, I have obtained innate spiritual energy and have honed myself to perfection, but I am still lacking a few spiritual items to aid my breakthrough. Therefore, I hope that the county magistrate can submit a letter to exchange my merits for some treasures to aid my breakthrough in the prefectural city, even if it is in the form of Yuan Crystals."

Chen Sheng knew that Wu Kuang possessed the Pulse Protection Pill and the Mysterious Organ Elixir, but he couldn't say so, because Wu Kuang had never mentioned them to him before. He could only use this roundabout method.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kuang's expression turned thoughtful, and his fingers tapped slowly and rhythmically on the table:

"The journey from Changshan to the prefectural city is long, and with the exchange of documents and the transfer of funds from above, even if everything goes smoothly, it would take more than a month to complete the round trip."

At this point, Wu Kuang paused, then continued, "However, I have prepared some spiritual items to aid in your breakthrough, which I can give you for use. But I still have one last question."

Are you ready? Remember, once you break through, it's too late to regret it later.

"Your subordinate is fully prepared!"

Chen Sheng's tone was resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

"Alright, in that case, please wait here for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Wu Kuang nodded slightly and then stopped advising him.

Instead, he quite agreed with Chen Sheng's indomitable spirit, and immediately stopped talking, got up and walked to the back hall of the county government. A moment later, when Wu Kuang returned, he was already holding a wooden box in his hand.

With a solemn expression, Wu Kuang placed the wooden box on the table and slowly opened it. A refreshing aroma of medicine and spiritual energy immediately filled the air, instantly invigorating everyone present.

Inside the box, lined with bright yellow silk, are several jade vases, each one exquisite and extraordinary.

Looking at the contents of the box, Wu Kuang's face showed a helpless sigh:
"The things in here were originally prepared for me, but unfortunately I don't have your courage and I dare not try them without being absolutely sure of success. It's just a good deal for you, kid."

Furthermore, I must make it clear beforehand that these spiritual items are only lent to you. Once you break through to the Innate Realm, you'll have to find a way to get me another one.

Chen Sheng glanced at it.

Good guy.

County Magistrate Wu was as steady as ever.

Inside the wooden box were six or seven spiritual items that aided in breakthroughs.

The Vein Protecting Pill and the Mysterious Organ Elixir are both in the box.

In addition, there are auxiliary spiritual items such as Qingming Lingyu, Lingshen Baodan, and Yiqi Wan.

All these factors combined mean that, unless you're extremely unlucky, there shouldn't be any major surprises, and you can almost guarantee an 80% chance of a successful breakthrough.

"I only need to take two items."

Chen Sheng pointed to the Vein Protection Pill and the Mysterious Organ Spirit Liquid.

But Wu Kuang waved his hand:
"Take them all, so you won't be looking for them later. If you don't need them, just return them to me after you break through."

Since Chen Sheng broke through to the Marrow Transformation Realm, Wu Kuang had already come to terms with it. Rather than harboring resentment, he decided to support him wholeheartedly, since, in his observation, Chen Sheng was not an ungrateful person.

He was also happy that Chen Sheng's cultivation level had increased.

"In that case, I thank you, sir."

Seeing Wu Kuang's resolute attitude, Chen Sheng no longer declined and bowed respectfully with a serious expression.

When do you plan to break through?

Wu Kuang changed the subject.

"Tonight."

Chen Sheng was unwilling to waste time. He had already made all the necessary preparations and there was no need to wait for an auspicious day.

"Alright, then it'll be tonight. Remember, don't let the news of your breakthrough spread. Tonight, I will be secretly protecting you outside the military camp." Wu Kuang nodded, his expression very solemn.

"Thank you, sir."

"Come, let me tell you again about the process of breaking through to the Innate Realm. Remember this, do not forget it."

Inside the county government office, Wu Kuang spoke in a low voice about his insights into the Innate Realm. Although he had not yet broken through, he had previously consulted Commandant Nie about the matter of breaking through.

It wasn't just baseless speculation; Chen Sheng listened attentively.

Half an hour later, Chen Sheng bid farewell to Wu Kuang, carrying a sandalwood box, and walked steadily out of the county government office.

Just as she stepped out of the gate, before she even descended the steps, a seemingly ordinary carriage parked to the side had its curtain suddenly lifted by a slender hand, revealing a pretty face that was both bright and slightly melancholic.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her eyes were like bright stars. Who else could she be but Madam Yang?

Since that day at the Lin residence, Chen Sheng had never taken the initiative to contact her again, as if the transaction was over and they had parted ways. Madam Yang was naturally somewhat unwilling to accept this.

Later, he even approached the military camp, but Chen Sheng politely declined.

Left with no other choice, she could only wait outside the county government office in this seemingly clumsy but direct way.

Chen Sheng paused, glancing at the beautiful woman inside the carriage, a helpless smile appearing on his face.

This Mrs. Yang seems to have a very high level of credibility.

They actually chose to block the door.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Sheng finally boarded the carriage. A carefully prepared fragrance quickly wafted over, causing his heart to flutter and him to sigh inwardly.

Madam Yang came prepared.

Inside the carriage, Madam Yang's melancholy expression was almost tangible:
"Commander Chen, I have invited you several times, but you have refused each time. Could it be that you find me too old and unattractive?"

"Madam is overthinking it. I have simply been preoccupied with spiritual practice lately."

Chen Sheng shook his head. "Cultivation? I can also help you cultivate."

Madam Yang rolled her eyes at Chen Sheng.

Her Yin-Yang Body isn't something that can be completely depleted in one go. As long as she's not used as a furnace to exploit her, it can continuously provide additional benefits.

"In that case, I will trouble you, Madam."

After thinking about it, Chen Sheng did not refuse this time.

Just as Madam Yang said, her physique was indeed helpful for cultivation. Although for him now, that help was negligible, it was still better than nothing.

Since the lady has a strong reputation, he naturally wouldn't let her down.

"That's more like it."

Madam Yang then revealed a bright smile of satisfaction.

Then he said:

"My brother came to see me again yesterday, mentioning your marriage to Xueyao and asking me to advise him. What are you really thinking? Have you really lost interest in Xueyao?"

"What do you think, madam?"

Chen Sheng did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

"I think this is not a bad thing."

Madam Yang pursed her lips.

Of course, she wanted to possess Chen Sheng all to herself, but she also knew in her heart that it was impossible because of her status, and Chen Sheng would never take her into his household.

However, if she could find a way to marry Yang Xueyao, she could then take advantage of the situation.
"Madam, are you not afraid of gossip?"

Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I've long since come to terms with this. All the gossip and idle chatter is not as important as living a comfortable life," Madam Yang said truthfully.

“Madam is quite open-minded, but there’s no need to bring this up again.”

Although Yang Xueyao was good-looking and had some advantages from Gao Qiheng, he wasn't unfamiliar with women and wasn't so unattractive. For her to catch his eye, she had to be of some help to him.

As for appearance
It is no exaggeration to say that with his current power and status, he could pick and choose from a whole row of women in Changshan County.

"Alright then, where do we go now? Are we still going to the Lin residence?"

Seeing Chen Sheng's resolute attitude, Madam Yang stopped trying to persuade him. Then, she changed the subject, her words carrying a hint of inexplicable excitement. She had been reminiscing about that day ever since.

They even want to recreate it.

Chen Sheng glanced at her with a hint of helplessness and shook his head:

"Go to the military camp."

Things are different now. Before, he had a grudge against Lin Shou and it was fine to humiliate him, but now that Lin Shou has bowed his head and become an ally, he must treat him with courtesy.

"Ok."

Although Madam Yang was somewhat disappointed, she was still very happy.

After all, she had been away from home for many days and was in dire need of Commander Chen's meticulous instruction.

Armed Forces Battalion.

Inside the big tent.

Chen Sheng sat cross-legged on the futon with a blank expression. At this moment, he was in a state of clarity. The fierce battle had left him exhausted, but it had also cleared his mind of all distractions, allowing him to enter the best state for cultivation.

After only a short rest, he immersed himself in ascetic practices.

Time passed slowly, and another half day went by.

Night gradually fell, enveloping the entire camp in silence.

The progress panel finally brought the progress to its peak.

[Introduction to the Six Extremes Golden Bell Technique (100/100)]

Break through to the innate level, right now!
Chen Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and a powerful aura suddenly emanated from them.

With a jolt of his arms, he activated his internal energy technique, and a bronze luster rapidly spread from the depths of Chen Sheng's skin, covering his entire body in the blink of an eye. From a distance, he looked like a meticulously crafted bronze sculpture.

His entire body exudes a powerful beauty, with muscle contours even more defined beneath his bronze skin. The lines are smooth yet subtly convey an explosive force.

The surging blood and qi within his body surged and churned, faintly emitting a deep, bell-like sound.

"Oh!"

In an instant, Chen Sheng's robes, unable to withstand the sudden burst of power, were torn to shreds. His half-naked body appeared even more beautiful.

The candlelight inside the tent made the glow even more pronounced.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Sheng began to take the Xuanzang Spirit Liquid and the Vein Protecting Pill without hesitation. As the liquid entered his body, it brought a warm current that flowed into his internal organs.

Then, Chen Sheng exerted force with his five fingers and clenched his fist, and the two Yuan Crystals turned into dust with a 'bang'.

Immediately afterwards, the Six Extremes Golden Bell Technique began to operate rapidly.

In a moment.

Chen Sheng sensed the presence of the primordial energy of heaven and earth and began to try to draw it into his body to temper it. This was the most difficult hurdle, but there was no fear in Chen Sheng's eyes.

lead!
Chen Sheng suddenly flipped his palms over.

The next moment, the pure spiritual energy released from the shattered two Yuan Crystals began to surge, and under a powerful attraction, it gradually transformed into a colorless and formless vortex.

It kept revolving around Chen Sheng.

Based on this, the sparse primordial energy between heaven and earth began to be stirred and slowly drawn towards Chen Sheng.

Next, Chen Sheng began to draw the primordial energy of heaven and earth into his body.

And in the instant that vital energy enters the body.

Chen Sheng's originally bronze skin quickly turned bright red, his whole body steaming with heat and surrounded by white mist, as if he were in a furnace. The veins on his body bulged out like twisted earthworms, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The raging energy of heaven and earth flowed through Chen Sheng's acupoints and rapidly into his limbs and bones, spreading to all parts of his body.

A tearing pain instantly entered his heart. The violent energy of heaven and earth seemed to scrape his bones inch by inch, constantly eroding Chen Sheng's meridians and frantically dissipating from his body.

This is the first and most dangerous hurdle one must overcome to break through to the Innate Realm: Qi Tempering!

Only with such violent power can one thoroughly cleanse the physical body, open the bridge between heaven and earth, and cultivate the dantian.

Ordinary, gentle internal energy cannot shake that barrier at all; at most, it can only have a pulling effect.

As the vortex of primordial energy gradually spread, under Chen Sheng's immense attraction, the entire tent was in a mess, and the tent itself was even rattling loudly.
