Chapter 181 – Li Qinghe Forcefully Breaks Through to Innate, Unstable Foundation!

“Wow—”

Xiaobai jumped onto Qin Yang’s lap, spinning in circles while chasing her own tail.

Bald!

Truly bald!

Not a single strand of fur remained, completely bare, revealing only smooth, tender skin…

But it was clearly still there last night!

“Wuwuwu, Master, your servant’s fur has fallen out again…”

Xiaobai threw herself into Qin Yang’s embrace, crying bitterly, rubbing her snot all over him, “This Fairy counted them before sleeping last night, wawawa…”

Her cries grew louder, threatening to draw attention from others.

“Tch, quiet down, stop making a scene!”

Qin Yang moved swiftly, pressing down on Xiaobai’s head and covering her mouth, forcibly suppressing her noisy commotion.

“Wuwu… Master, lick lick…”

Xiaobai extended her pink little tongue, licking Qin Yang’s palm, “Let go, your servant won’t make a fuss, but you must save this Fairy’s fur!”

“It’s fine, I’ll grow it back for you when we get home, such a trivial matter…”

Qin Yang released his hand, shaking off the saliva on his palm with disgust, waving dismissively, “I promise to make it fluffy and plump for you.”

“Mmm, you better not lie to this fox…”

Xiaobai settled contentedly in Qin Yang’s arms, sleeping peacefully like a little baby, curled up into a snow-white cotton ball. The man and fox remained still and serene.

“Senior Brother, you really spoil Xiaobai!”

Li Zixuan covered her mouth, watching their interaction with a smile curling at the corners of her lips, “Xiaobai is also very attached to you.”

“Sorry for the unsightly display.”

Qin Yang stroked Xiaobai’s head and patted the small stool beside him, saying, “Come, Shimei, do you have any questions about sword techniques? Ask them all now, since we’re not working yet.”

“Alright, then I’ll trouble you, Senior Brother.”

Li Zixuan took a seat and inquired about the Star Power circulation of the Sky-Slicing Sword Draw, as well as the details of controlling the sword’s momentum.

Recalling the content of that night under the moonlit sea of flowers…

Time passed leisurely.

………

A few minutes later.

“Mas—ter—”

A playful call disrupted the teaching rhythm. Qin Yang and Li Zixuan turned to look—it was Li Qinghe arriving. After not seeing her for days, her aura had undergone some changes.

“This is…”

Qin Yang extended his spiritual sense, enveloping Li Qinghe’s body to probe her.

Heaven and human in harmony, every word and action aligned with the Heavenly Law.

Innate Realm!

“Long time no see, Master. Your disciple has good news to tell you.”

Li Qinghe said with a beaming smile, her dimples deepening as she lifted her nose proudly, “Today, this young lady has already…”

“Reached the Innate Realm, right?”

Before she could finish, Qin Yang rolled his eyes and interrupted her.

“…”

“…”

As soon as he spoke, the scene fell into immediate silence.

“??? Master, how did you know?!”

Li Qinghe, seeing her surprise ruined, exclaimed in frustration, “I wanted to give you a surprise! Your disciple has finally made something of herself!”

“Save it, you giving me a surprise…”

Qin Yang said helplessly, “Not giving me a scare would be more like it.”

“Sister Qinghe, congratulations!!”

Li Zixuan, however, didn’t hesitate to praise her, happily grabbing Li Qinghe’s hands and shaking them, “I knew you would definitely break through to the Innate Realm, cousin! No wonder we haven’t seen you these past few days—you were busy cultivating.”

“Hehe, the clumsy bird flies early.”

Hearing this, Li Qinghe proudly tossed her short hair and lifted her head, saying, “From now on, this young lady is also an expert of the Innate Realm!!”

It wasn’t easy!

Now that the threshold of the Innate Realm has been crossed!

The great plan of ascending in seniority begins today!Grandmaster, I’m here!!!

With this thought in mind.

Li Qinghe looked at Qin Yang, crossed her arms, and confidently asked, “So, how about it, Sur… Master! Can I go meet Grandmaster now? You were the one who said it back then!

Break through to the Innate Realm, meet Grandmaster!!!”

“Look at you, always so impatient!”

Qin Yang waved his hand, “Meeting Grandmaster is definitely not a problem. I won’t go back on my word. But the question is… have you truly stabilized after crossing the threshold?”

As he finished speaking.

Qin Yang released his spiritual sense to probe her condition.

Li Qinghe’s current state was terrible.

Her aura was weak and chaotic, her meridians swollen with hidden cracks, and the Star Power within her body was in complete disorder, like wild horses running out of control.

Chaotic!

Extremely chaotic!

With just one glance, Qin Yang knew exactly how Li Qinghe had broken through.

To reach the Innate Realm, this girl must have relied on the Innate Pill’s effects to force her breakthrough, and it had already caused hidden injuries.

Not caring about the future, only seizing the present…

How was this any different from those Demonkin who forcibly broke through to the Supreme Realm?

“Huh? Senior Brother, what do you mean by that?”

Li Zixuan slightly furrowed her willow-like eyebrows, looking at Qin Yang with confusion, then turned to Li Qinghe, “Sister Qinghe, did you do something during your breakthrough?”

“I… I…”

Faced with the questioning, Li Qinghe immediately became evasive, her eyes darting around, “I don’t understand what this Qin guy is talking about…”

“Right, of course you don’t understand.”

Qin Yang rolled his eyes, “You haven’t even stabilized your cultivation, yet you’re out wandering around. If you don’t confess the truth… I won’t take you to see your Grandmaster either!”

These words.

Hit Li Qinghe right where it hurt the most!

Not being able to see Grandmaster…

Then wouldn’t all my breakthrough efforts be wasted!?

“No, no, no, Master! Your disciple was wrong, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!”

Li Qinghe stamped her feet, both anxious and angry, half-squatting on the ground while covering her face with a wronged expression,

“Yes! I used a method to rely on the Innate Pill’s effects to force my way through the threshold! Otherwise, it would have taken me at least a year to break through to the Innate Realm!”

“Sister Qinghe, you’re being completely reckless!”

Upon hearing this, Li Zixuan lightly scolded her, quickly extending her small hand to press against her cousin’s right wrist pulse.

“Hey, what are you doing Xuan Xuan? Stop touching me!”

“Stop messing around, I need to check your meridian condition!”

“Oh…”

A moment later.

Li Zixuan continued examining her meridians.

Hidden cracks in the meridians, with Star Power leaking from within.

If this continued to develop, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Today’s hidden injuries might, years later, strike right between her eyebrows!

“I… I… I just wanted to see Grandmaster sooner,”

Li Qinghe hung her head like a wronged child, her voice growing softer with a hint of tears, “It’s all because my cultivation talent is so average. If I continued like this, when would I ever get to see him? It would take at least another year!”

“But you can’t be so impatient! Sister Qinghe!”

Li Zixuan frowned, “Your meridians already have hidden cracks now!”

“…I’m sorry,”

Li Qinghe lowered her gaze, pouting, her head sinking lower and lower.

“Who are you apologizing to? You should be concerned about your own body! How foolish!”

Li Zixuan was almost crying from anxiety, “If your meridians are damaged, how will you break through in the future? Do you want to remain in the Innate Realm forever!?”

“Then what should I do?”Li Qinghe sniffled, dejectedly saying, “I really wanted to meet our grandmaster, and I just acted impulsively…”

“But have you considered whether the sect would still accept you as a disciple if you were forever stuck at the Innate Realm?!”

As these words fell.

Li Qinghe trembled all over, stepping back in fright as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. Li Zixuan also began crying anxiously beside her.

“Alright, alright! As long as you recognize your mistake!”

Just then.

Qin Yang crossed his arms, interrupting their dispute. “Fortunately, your master is still here. What’s all this fuss about?”

With that.

He pointed a finger directly between Li Qinghe’s eyebrows.

Hum!

Thunder and wood intertwined.

The two Law Fragments merged into one!

Transforming into spring thunder brimming with vitality, it surged violently into Li Qinghe’s meridians!
