In particular, the talent "Nine Breaths of Breath Control" shares the same name as a spell in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques, but it's unknown whether its effects are as overpowered.

Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Huang Yu brought over a large bathtub, poured in hot water, and then added the medicine that Aunt Wu had prepared.

Wu Ruilan instructed, "Remember, don't overthink when you're taking a medicinal bath. Relax your mind and body, concentrate, and treat it like a normal bath."

"When the body, mind, and spirit are relaxed, it is easier to resonate with the body and perceive the hidden power within it!"

"Understood!" Huang Yu nodded, then took off all his clothes and immersed himself in the bathtub.

As soon as he took the medicinal bath, Huang Yu felt a powerful medicinal force that penetrated his body through his skin, giving him a unique stimulation.

It's tingly and numb, yet it makes your whole body feel hot.

Following Wu Ruilan's instructions, Huang Yu relaxed his mind and body and silently began to circulate the "Abstaining from Grains and Nourishing Qi".

[Current Progress: Abstaining from Grains and Consuming Qi (Beginner 8/100)]

Skill experience points appeared on the panel, and Huang Yu's understanding of Qi-gathering from grains deepened.

The pathways within the body became orderly, no longer as chaotic as before.

Huang Yu then realized that there was a benefit to a fundamental cultivation method: it could temper one's life force more efficiently!

All the methods he had acquired before, whether it was the Thousand Faces of Clay Sculpture, Bajiquan, or the Earth Immortal, Ghost Shadow Walk, or Five Wrathful Soldiers, were ultimately just techniques!

They cannot efficiently temper life force, and even the evil Wuchang among the Wuchang soldiers can harm Huang Yu's life!

Although the method of "abstaining from grains and consuming qi" is not well-known, and was originally just a method of health preservation, it is still a fundamental cultivation method that can maintain and efficiently temper Huang Yu's life.

Simply put, the more you practice, the longer you live; the longer you live, the longer you practice; the longer you practice, the longer you live, thus creating a positive feedback loop where you become stronger the more you practice!

Don't you see, those immortal old men in later generations, such as Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Jin, and Lü Ci, all became more irritable and passionate with age, simply because they were stronger.

As for Xia Liuqing, the older he gets, the more timid he becomes, and he even becomes kind and amiable, completely losing the "fierce" demeanor he had in his youth. This is not only due to the harshness of time, but also because his strength has become weaker, and he is even unable to support the second-tier godhood mask form.

Time passed slowly, and Wu Ruilan stayed by her side the whole time.

Despite having witnessed Huang Yu's terrifying abilities, she was still amazed by the speed of his progress.

"Who were this kid's parents? How can he be so talented, mastering the Qi of Absence from Grains in such a short time!"

Back then, when she was cultivating the Qi of Absence from Grains, her progress was already considered genius-level, but she only barely entered the realm of Qi after the medicinal bath ended, which was incomparable to Huang Yu's progress.

"It's a pity, though. I'm afraid Huang boy won't have the chance to awaken his innate superpower."

Wu Ruilan observed the state of the medicinal soup. The soup had gradually become clear, proving that Huang Yu had absorbed all the medicinal power. However, Huang Yu still did not show any signs of awakening his innate superpower.

Based on historical cases of people in Fujiyama awakening their innate supernatural abilities, unusual phenomena usually occur at this time.

If you don't awaken your innate abilities by this point, you generally won't awaken them again.

Huang Yu was unaware of Wu Ruilan's thoughts. At this moment, he was completely immersed in the cultivation of the Qi of the Abundant Grain, and it didn't matter whether he awakened any innate abilities or not. Even the absorption of the medicinal power was just proceeding naturally.

[Quegu Shiqi Experience Points +7]

The more he cultivated, the more he could feel the profound mystery of the Qi of Absence from Grains.

He was practically practicing cultivation haphazardly before!

Finally, another skill experience appeared on the panel, and Quegu Shiqi reached a new level.

Beside her, Wu Ruilan stared wide-eyed as she watched black stains appear on Huang Yu's body and his breathing become rhythmic.

She was all too familiar with this situation; only when one cultivated the Qi of Abstaining from Grains to a certain level would this reaction occur!

And what's more, it's bizarre! All sorts of scattered energy from heaven and earth are converging this way!!

Chapter 33 Innate Abilities - Yin-Yang Balance

Wu Ruilan's cultivation had yielded significant results, making her highly sensitive to the energy between heaven and earth. She could sense that Huang Yu was absorbing this energy!

Moreover, the medicinal power in the bath was rapidly decreasing, and Huang Yu's aura was surging, with various strange phenomena emerging, undoubtedly proving that Huang Yu was about to awaken his innate superpower.

"What kind of ability is Huang kid about to awaken? Why is he making such a commotion?!"

Wu Ruilan muttered to herself, watching Huang Yu frantically absorb the medicinal power and the energy of heaven and earth, guessing that he probably needed more energy.

Immediately, Wu Ruilan took out her magic medicine bag and carried out the medicinal herbs that contained abundant vital energy. She then crushed these herbs using a special technique, spreading the medicinal power into the air.

Huang Yu then quickly absorbed the medicinal power.

Outside the pharmacy, Wugensheng was also staring at the sky with great interest.

In his eyes, everything in the world began to slowly rotate, forming a vortex, and at the center of the vortex was the room where Huang Yu was.

“Interesting. Brother Wuming is indeed extraordinary. Even taking a bath can make such a commotion.”

As he spoke, Wugensheng quietly crouched down by the window and began to observe furtively.

At this moment, Huang Yu was completely immersed in the energy of heaven and earth.

Comfortable, satisfied, and full of energy... these are his strongest feelings.

There's also the feeling of feeling very light and completely free of burden.

With this abundant energy and in this relaxed state, Huang Yu's spirit and body resonated with each other, and his body's potential was fully unleashed!

……

After a long while, Huang Yu slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Wu Ruilan staring straight at him.

"Aunt Wu, why are you looking at me like that?!"

"It's all because you made such a commotion!" Wu Ruilan said irritably, then pointed to a new bucket next to her. "We'll talk about it later. You should take a good bath first."

After saying that, Wu Ruilan walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

Just as Huang Yu was wondering why Wu Ruilan was taking a bath by herself, an incredibly foul odor filled his nostrils, making him feel disgusted.

He examined his body and found a thick layer of filth clinging to it, the foul odor emanating from this filth.

Looking at this layer of filth, Huang Yu realized something: "Have I undergone a marrow cleansing and purification process?"

"While it is true that abstaining from grains and consuming qi can cleanse the body of impurities, it is far from being as exaggerated as some claim."

After a moment's thought, Huang Yu understood that this was the combined effect of consuming Qi from grains, advancing to the [Refiner] profession, and awakening innate supernatural abilities.

"This was quite a fruitful experience."

Leaving aside the professional talents and special bonuses brought by the [Qi-Eating Cultivator] class, his awakened innate abilities are by no means inferior to any other ability.

According to Wu Ruilan, the innate special abilities that each person awakens are most suitable for themselves, and are the manifestation of essence, energy, and spirit.

Huang Yu was indeed very satisfied with the innate ability he had awakened this time.

Huang Yu took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then walked out of the room.

Outside, Wu Ruilan and Wugensheng were waiting.

"So clean." Wugensheng laughed, "Brother Wuming, have you achieved the Immaculate Body?"

Huang Yu shook his head: "It's still far from enough. It has only cleared the pathogenic and turbid qi from the body."

"That's no easy feat either. Being free from illness and impurities is a state that so many people dream of."

The "immaculate body" mentioned by Wugensheng refers to the state of being able to cleanse oneself of all acquired impurities through cultivation, and to return one's body and mind to a state of purity like that of an infant.

It transcends mere physical cleansing, pointing towards an ideal state that is perfect in both form and spirit, from the inside out.

Huang Yu has only completed the purification of his body. He still has a long way to go in terms of mind, spirit, and truth. He is far from reaching the realm of purity.

In fact, Huang Yu's current physical condition is somewhat similar to those who have successfully cultivated the Six Treasures Immortal Thief in later generations. His body has become pure, and his energy has perfectly blended with the surrounding environment, making him extremely difficult to detect.

Wu Ruilan asked, "Kid, with all this commotion, what innate ability have you awakened?"

Huang Yu's lips curled up slightly, looking somewhat excited: "I haven't tried the specific effects yet, but I already know the general capabilities."

"balance!"

A gray essence emerged from Huang Yu's hand, which then gave rise to black and white. Following that, more essences of various colors emerged, some strong and some weak, but all maintaining a harmonious and stable state.

"I call my innate ability: Yin-Yang balance!"

"As the name suggests, I can balance various energies and keep them stable. Even if one energy exceeds the others, it will not cause the system to collapse."
