Chapter 114: Chapter 0114: One Step to Postnatal

"Hehe, a Martial Artist?" Huo Tianqian chuckled bitterly and shook his head, "Who wouldn’t want that if they knew the true meaning of these two words? But with my current age, I’m afraid it’s hopeless for me in this lifetime!"

Indeed, Huo Tianqian was now nearly fifty years old. Starting Martial Arts Training at this time, he would likely achieve nothing even if he trained until death.

However, Chu Ge’s next words made him suddenly widen his eyes.

"I can help you achieve the Postnatal Realm directly!"

"What!" Not only Huo Tianqian, but even Ah Hu standing behind him showed a look of horror.

The two words "Postnatal Realm" represented too much, too much!

Like Shi Weiyu that day, although he was no match in front of Chu Ge, during the confrontation with the Blood Arrow Team, he was like a deity descending to earth.

Even for the reclusive Ancient Martial Sects, the Postnatal Realm could be considered the backbone of the Sect, and among ordinary people in society, a Postnatal Realm expert could indeed be regarded as a godlike existence!

"Chu... Mr. Chu, are you serious? Are you not joking?" Huo Tianqian stuttered, one could imagine the immense shock this matter had caused in the depths of his heart.

"When have I ever deceived you?" Chu Ge stood up, hands behind him as he slowly walked to the pond side.

In these years, Master had not only cultivated the techniques of the Jade Pendant, but in his study, there were whole shelves full of books that recorded various ancient martial arts and precious Internal Cultivation Methods. During the more than ten years in the mountains, Chu Ge had almost memorized all these techniques by heart.

Now, casually selecting one to give to Huo Tianqian wasn’t a big deal.

"However, I must remind you." Chu Ge suddenly turned around, eyes fixed on Huo Tianqian, "After all, this is relying on external power to enter the Postnatal Realm, so after this, you will remain in the Postnatal Realm for the rest of your life, unable to advance further. You need to consider it carefully."

"I have made up my mind!" However, Huo Tianqian did not hesitate at all, his tone had a hint of excitement as he nodded and said, "Mr. Chu, if you can really help me enter the Postnatal Realm, from now on, I, Huo Tianqian, will follow only you!"

"Very well, let the others leave for now."

Huo Tianqian nodded in agreement and said to Ah Hu who was standing nearby, "Ah Hu, take people to guard outside the Royal Exam, and don’t allow anyone in!"

"Yes!" Ah Hu took the order and, with a call, dozens of men in black headed outside the estate.

Watching the estate quiet down and looking at Huo Tianqian standing behind him with anticipation and nervousness, Chu Ge whispered to himself, "Finally, I can try it. If possible..."

He didn’t continue but instead reached into his pocket and pulled out a Jade Bottle.

On top of the Jade Bottle was a stopper made of ice which, due to the action of Chu Ge’s Inner Strength, had not melted.

Now, as Chu Ge pulled it out, a refreshing and fragrant scent slowly wafted from the bottle.

"This is..." Huo Tianqian’s eyes bulged, staring fixedly at the Jade Bottle in Chu Ge’s hand.

He had only inhaled a bit of this fragrance, and he felt his body relax as if the fatigue of many days had disappeared in an instant!

The Jade Bottle contained the Spiritual Liquid that Chu Ge had been condensing over the past few days. As time passed, he had already amassed half a bottle’s worth, and ordinary people only needed to consume a single drop to extend their lifespan, clear their minds, and even repair some lingering internal injuries.

"Now sit cross-legged and slow your breathing. Try to clear your mind, maintain a state of blankness, and keep your vital signs stable," Chu Ge suddenly said.

Huo Tianqian dared not disobey and promptly sat cross-legged by the small pond. After preparing for a dozen seconds, he spoke, "Mr. Chu, I’m ready."

"Good." Chu Ge nodded and picked up the teacup from the table beside him, pouring in roughly half a bottle of the Spiritual Liquid, "Drink it. It might be painful later, but you must endure."

Without hesitation, Huo Tianqian consumed the tea. Just a few dozen seconds later, his skin began to redden as if he were a shrimp just boiled, with heat steaming off the top of his head.

Too much of a good thing could lead to the opposite effect. While ordinary people would benefit greatly from just a drop, Chu Ge had fed him an entire half bottle!

The average person’s body simply couldn’t withstand such an enormous infusion of Spiritual Energy. Therefore, at this moment, Huo Tianqian’s veins were bulging, and his face twisted in agony.

Chu Ge knew he couldn’t wait any longer; his expression turned stern as he flipped his wrist, and several silver needles appeared between his fingers.

Needles flashed as they flew, and within just two or three seconds, they pierced several of Huo Tianqian’s key acupoints. However, far from looking relieved, his expression only grew more agonized.

Chu Ge paid no heed to this, merely advising him to "endure" before channeling True Yuan into his right palm and placing it atop Huo Tianqian’s head.

A wave of heat radiated from the two of them as the epicenter, rippling outwards and even lifting a layer of the ground where it was relatively closer!

Finally, just as Huo Tianqian could barely hold back a scream, Chu Ge grunted, and the input of True Yuan suddenly increased several times over.

"Let the energy run through the meridians, the Essence Blood unite, merge!"

In the human body, essence and blood are like two parallel lines that never intersect. Reaching the Postnatal Realm means fusing essence and blood into one, creating an immense energy within the body, superior to an ordinary person.

Moreover, the body usually has an excess of blood but a deficiency of essence. Thus, even if someone luckily merged them, it would only result in blood overwhelming the essence, slightly improving one’s physique, but nowhere near the standard of a Martial Artist.

A Postnatal Martial Artist has been cultivating their essence with precious medicinal herbs and ancient Inner Cultivation Methods from a young age. Once the Realm is achieved one day, the Essence Blood unifies, entering the Postnatal Realm.

Thus, every Postnatal Martial Artist is an invaluable resource for the Ancient Martial Sect.

However, Chu Ge first used the Spiritual Liquid to strengthen Huo Tianqian’s residual essence, then utilized silver needles to stimulate his bodily potential, and finally, used his own True Yuan to forcefully merge them!

Finally, Huo Tianqian let out a roar, and the ceramic tiles beneath him instantly turned to powder.

"Essence and blood united, from now on, you are a Martial Artist of the Postnatal Realm," Chu Ge withdrew his hand and smiled with a nod.

But Huo Tianqian was looking at his hands, his eyes shimmering with excitement.

He could feel a powerful force coursing through his body, so immense it seemed he could easily crack stones with one punch!

However, just as Huo Tianqian was basking in the pleasure of this new power, a cold snort exploded beside his ear like thunder, "Huo Tianqian, do you think you now have the strength to challenge me?"
