My cells devour all worlds.

About half an hour later.

Ye Xinglan turned back, and the moment she saw Lu Sheng, she snorted and threw down a package heavily.

Then he left without looking back.

The package was clearly imbued with internal force, and it shot towards us at an extremely high speed, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

The missile landed squarely on Lu Sheng's head.

"Where does such a fierce aura come from?"

Amidst his confusion, Lu Sheng reached out and steadily caught the package without even a tremor in his hand.

As the package was opened, a strong smell of ink wafted out.

Lu Sheng used the moonlight to see the items inside and instantly smiled knowingly.

The package contained only a booklet without a cover, which appeared to have been hastily made and was not neat in many places.

The neat, small characters on the paper still show traces of smearing, and the paper is also slightly curled, probably due to the rapid drying process.

No wonder the other person hesitated when he said he wanted it tonight.

It turns out that as soon as he got back, he immediately started copying books on the spot.

I should have ordered two more.

Lu Sheng shook his head and turned to walk towards his room.

Several oil lamps and candles flickered on the table, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.

Lu Sheng sat down at the table, holding the handwritten copy of the Xuan Shui True Scripture and flipping through it with great eagerness.

The Grandmaster of Innate Realm, he has arrived!

As time passed, the lamp oil gradually ran out.

Lu Sheng had also turned to the last page of the book in his hand.

As the last word entered his mind, Lu Shengru closed the book with a sense of relief and shut his eyes.

I couldn't help but reach up and rub my temples.

His long period of contemplation left him somewhat mentally exhausted.

"So that's how it is."

Even with his previous foundation, Lu Sheng still encountered many unclear points when reading the divine book, the Profound Water True Scripture.

Some of the content is particularly obscure and difficult to understand, requiring repeated reading and contemplation before one can comprehend it and continue.

Some of the positions even contradict common sense upon closer examination.

That's probably what makes a divine book so extraordinary.

In this way, Lu Sheng unknowingly spent several hours reading a thin book that was less than the thickness of a finger.

Fortunately, the effort paid off.

Lu Sheng now has a deeper understanding of the Innate Grandmaster.

The difference between a third-rate martial artist and a first-rate martial artist lies in the number of meridians they have opened and the amount of internal energy they have stored.

However, a master who has opened up the Ren and Du meridians does not have this problem.

The innate grandmaster's body forms its own microcosmic orbit, constantly engaging in extremely subtle energy exchanges with heaven and earth.

This caused a qualitative change in internal energy, transforming it into what is known as true qi.

True Qi is ever-flowing and circulates endlessly; this is the innate state.

What Lu Sheng lacked before was the key to open up this small circulation.

It's true.

Now he faces only one problem: what should he choose?

Unlike martial arts techniques, which can be practiced at will.

Due to the differences between internal cultivation methods, such as the different meridians opened and the different routes of internal energy flow, Lu Sheng could not directly switch to cultivating the Profound Water True Scripture.

The internal energy cultivation method of the Shen Family Canglan Saber Technique that he learned was not compatible with the Xuan Shui True Scripture, and there were even several conflicts between them.

Especially after he transformed into the Myriad Laws Asura and attempted to integrate various martial arts, the development of his meridians had long since become uncontrollable.

In comparison, they can only be described as completely unrelated.

Therefore, he either chose to dissipate his cultivation and start over, spending several more months to break through to the Innate Grandmaster level.

Alternatively, one can choose to refer to the Small Heavenly Circuit method of the Mysterious Water True Scripture and forge one's own path.

Building something from nothing is a difficult path.

If it were anyone else, seeing the Xuan Shui True Scripture, the path to heaven, right before their eyes, what choice would they make?

At worst, I can just take a break and retake the course.

For Lu Sheng, the answer was actually quite obvious.

Given the current situation, there's no time to rework it for him.

That's perfect, Lu Sheng didn't want to follow in others' footsteps either. (Not out of desperation)

With so many martial arts techniques combined, how could he not surpass his opponent?

Even if I can't, I can always find another opportunity to retake the course later.

It's a situation where one can choose between advancing or retreating.

Since that's the case, Lu Sheng no longer hesitated. He leaned back in his chair and, taking advantage of the moment when the impression was the strongest, directly deduced a feasible method for circulating the microcosmic orbit in his mind.

As time went by, Lu Sheng gradually got into the swing of things and became more and more immersed in the role.

The years pass unnoticed during spiritual practice; the lamp oil runs out, and dawn breaks.

It wasn't until he heard indistinct voices that Lu Sheng snapped out of that mysterious feeling.

The lamp oil on the table had long since burned out, and the sunlight outside shone through the gaps, casting streaks of light into the room.

"Qingshu, those two girls from last night came again and have been waiting for a long time. Go and wake Sheng'er up."

It was his uncle Shen Tianxiong's voice, and Lu Sheng's ears twitched slightly.

"I?"

Shen Qingshu pointed to himself, then looked at the closed door not far away, hesitating.

Yesterday, those people were either killed or injured because they woke up Sheng Ge.

Of course, Shen Qingshu was certain that Lu Sheng would not treat him that way.

So he decided...

"Father, let's wait a bit. It wouldn't be good if we disturbed Sheng-ge's cultivation."

"That's true."

Lu Sheng, inside the house: "..."

Not long after.

The familiar main hall, the familiar two people, the familiar tea being poured.

This time it was during the day.

Ye Xinglan was no longer dressed in a dazzling white fairy dress as before, but instead wore the everyday clothes of a young lady from a secluded family.

She lost some of her carefree spirit but gained more of her dignified air.

Qingli also changed her clothes, wearing a short jacket with narrow sleeves, a long blue cloth skirt, and her hair was styled into a double bun.

She stood behind Ye Xinglan like any other maid.

Lu Sheng had no idea what the two of them were up to. His mind was full of all the possibilities he had deduced before, and he was already eager to try them out.

Therefore, there was no time for formalities; he went straight to the point and asked, "What brings you here again?"

Hearing Lu Sheng's impatient tone, Qing Li immediately became furious.

Yesterday, at least we exchanged pleasantries and had some tea first.

I'm not even going to perform today.

She immediately wanted to argue with him.

At this moment, Ye Xinglan gently raised her right hand to stop Qing Li.

Seeing the weariness between Lu Sheng's brows, she roughly guessed what was going on.

"Looks like you had a very fruitful night."

Ye Xinglan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "To prevent you from going back on your word, we will stay at Changfeng Escort Agency under assumed names until our agreement is fulfilled."

Another thing is that although he obtained the Profound Water Scripture, breaking through to the Innate Grandmaster level is still not an easy task.

However, if two people with similar cultivation levels discuss and inspire each other, it might accelerate this process.

Last night? An agreement?

What?! You're staying?!

What did Sheng-ge do last night?

Shen Qingshu, who was pouring tea for the three of them, kept his eyes down and seemed not to be paying attention to them, but in reality, he was listening attentively.

"That's it? Whatever, just talk to him about it, and don't bother me unless it's important."

Lu Sheng got up without a word and walked straight to the backyard.

He had only taken two steps when he suddenly remembered something and turned back, saying, "By the way, send over some of the resources you promised me today. I need a large quantity of high-quality medicinal herbs, the sooner the better, and the more the better."

Lu Sheng suddenly realized that if he tried to open up the Ren and Du meridians and cultivate the internal microcosmic orbit, he would inevitably fail.

With his now fully-trained physique, he is unlikely to suffer a qi deviation, but injuries are unavoidable.

At this point, a large amount of energy is needed to recover.

Upon hearing Lu Sheng's words, Ye Xinglan was immediately taken aback.

The other party's gains seemed to be greater than she had imagined.

That's good too. The stronger Lu Sheng is, the higher the probability of success of the operation three years from now.

Ye Xinglan immediately agreed.

After Lu Sheng left, Ye Xinglan looked at Shen Qingshu, "Young Master Shen..."

"No problem, I'll take care of it. I'll tell my father later. I just don't know the names of you two seniors..."

Shen Qingshu, who had just witnessed everything, agreed without hesitation. He could tell that the two people in front of him definitely had a secret relationship with Brother Sheng.

"Just call me..."

Ye Xinglan paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, "...Bai Ling, this is my maid, Xiao Qing."
