World Controlling God Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Becoming a Xuan Pract.i.tioner

News of Ling Xiao’s return to the inner court created a huge wave in the Ling Family!

Ever since Falling Stone City’s former genius of a generation was determined to be incapable of cultivating again two years ago, he had suffered everyone’s scorn and mockery. And now he has experienced a Nirvana rebirth, rising abruptly in a short month. He first taught Li Family’s Li Guang Yin a lesson and then defeated Luo Family’s outstandingly beautiful Luo Qing Shuang in one move at the Fragrant Taste Restaurant.

Ling Xiao proved once again that his reputation as a genius is absolutely not undeserved.

While the Ling Family was spiritedly discussing Ling Xiao’s return to the inner court, Ling Xiao acquired two 1000 years old Crow King Ginseng from his grandfather in preparation for breaking through the twelfth meridian and becoming a xuan pract.i.tioner.

Crow King Ginseng is generally only cla.s.sified as second-grade low-level spirit gra.s.s. Apart from invigorating meridian flow, it can also increase xuan strength and prolong life. The Crow King Ginseng Ling Xiao received from Ling Cang was already over a thousand years old, so its medicinal strength is stronger than the general Crow King Ginseng. Therefore, it is considered a second-grade intermediate-level spirit gra.s.s, valued at over ten thousand gold coins and rarely available in Falling Stone City.

Ling Cang had personally entered the Desolate Chaparral Mountains and obtained them by chance.

He had everything prepared, but is lacking only one important thing.

Ling Xiao had determined to break through the last meridian this evening.

After eating dinner, Ling Xiao returns to his room early and begins to meditate. When his mind, soul, and energy reaches optimum levels will be the time he attempts to break through!

Four hours later, Ling Xiao took out five pieces of the previously cut thousand years old Crow King Ginseng.

Just as Ling Cang had said, Ling Xiao is not a xuan pract.i.tioner and will not be able to completely absorb the Crow King Ginseng’s medicinal properties. Therefore, Ling Xiao did not impulsively take it all at once. Instead, he will cut one of the ginsengs in half and then divide that into five smaller pieces and take them separately whenever it’s necessary.

A great deal of energy is required to break through the last meridian and break through to the xuan pract.i.tioner realm at the same time. More importantly, he may not succeed on the first try, so Ling Xiao made the necessary arrangements to make sure he will be able to succeed tonight.

Ling Xiao took a piece of Crow King Ginseng and threw it in his mouth. He quickly activated Three Parts Return Vital Energy, as eleven hot streams of energy surged up violently from the yong quan acupuncture point, ultimately coming together to pound against the twelfth meridian. At the same time, the Crow King Ginseng also brought out its medicinal strength as a continuous stream of energy orbs rushed over and fused with the hot streams of energy to become an enormous energy orb. Wherever it went, the meridians would become swollen to more than twice its former size.

Finally, the orb pounded against the last occluded meridian.

“Boom!”

“Ah!” Ling Xiao let out a shriek. He was sweating profusely and his face flushed red as blue veins popped out on his forehead, appearing extremely sinister.

The first attempt failed without a doubt!

Ling Xiao continued as before without any thoughts of giving up. He bit the bullet and circulated the xuan strength in his body once again while the Crow King Ginseng’s medicinal properties became increasingly dense.

An even bigger orb of energy condensed and rushed toward the terminated meridian once more.

“Bang!”

“Ah!”

“Boom!”

“Ah!”

……

Ling Xiao lost track of how many times he had already attempted to break through, but the meridian has proven to be resilient. His whole body was drenched in sweat as blood was visibly seeping from his pores, just like a blood-soaked man and looked extremely frightening.

“d.a.m.n it. It’s still not enough energy!” Ling Xiao cursed before resuming meditation and operating Three Parts Return Vital Energy to alleviate the pain from the failed break through just now.

After another hour pa.s.sed, Ling Xiao’s body was restored to its normal condition. He opened his eyes, revealing a look of extreme confidence.

“Let’s do this! I’m going to succeed tonight or die trying!” Ling Xiao growled. He picked up two pieces of Crow King Ginseng and threw them both in his mouth.

After an unknown number of attempts, when the medicinal properties of the second piece of Crow King Ginseng had nearly faded away, the terminated meridian finally appeared to crack.

Ling Xiao’s heart filled with joy. He disregarded the aches in his body and ate the last three pieces of Crow King Ginseng, forming a gigantic orb of energy that now resembles a ball of fire to rush toward the occlusion.

“Kacha!”

At last, the ball of fiery energy broke through and rushed towards the various parts of his body.

Ling Xiao felt a relaxing and invigorating wave wash over his entire body, causing him to body and mind to feel extremely comfortable and. It was like diving into the cold ocean on a sweltering summer day, and yet it was also like escaping the bone-piercing coldness of midwinter into a hot spring.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to celebrate, the twelve meridians’ circulating xuan strength slowly converged at the dantian.

Ling Xiao emptied his mind without delay and started to revolve the Three Parts Return Vital Energy.

This phenomenon is precisely the moment one becomes a xuan pract.i.tioner.

Any martial apprentice can promote their body’s strength by means of cultivation, but they will not be able to merge their strength in their dantian no matter how much strength they acc.u.mulate. Therefore, the xuan pract.i.tioner realm will be out of their reach forever.

The second half of the night pa.s.sed by quietly.

When Ling Xiao finally opened his eyes, two sharp rays of light flashed through that people did not dare to look straight at.

A joyous smile gradually appeared on his face. “Haha…I’ve finally succeeded!” Ling Xiao laughed, leaping up from where he stood and completing a somersault in midair before landing precisely into the tub of water.

In that instant, foul-smelling fumes filled the air.

“What…what is this? Who took a s.h.i.+t? The smell actually reached my room?” Ling Xiao pinched his nose and said.

Ling Xiao immediately looked into his tub, only to see the water has turned pitch black, still emanating a strong stench.

“Holy s.h.i.+t, it turns out to be something like this.” Ling Xiao suddenly woke up from his daze.

Last night, Ling Xiao broke through the twelfth princ.i.p.al meridian, consolidated his xuan strength in his dantian and became a xuan pract.i.tioner. This has caused dramatic changes to his body; ma.s.sive amounts of filth discharged from his pores and made his flesh and blood even more pure. This stench came directly from the filth and impurity that had been drained from his body.

“Young Master, do you need help with anything?” Bai Yu Xi’s voice came floating from outside the door.

Ling Xiao was not surprised as he knew that Bai Yu Xi will arrive on time every morning, and immediately said, “Please help bring me two buckets of water.”

“Yes, Young Master.” Bai Yu Xi answered softly and then withdrew to draw water.

……

After freshening up, Ling Xiao put on a tight-fitting gown that accentuated his slightly bulging chest and then draped a black cloak over his shoulder, causing his entire person to an air of dignity and imposing manner.

Bai Yu Xi can’t refrain from staring somewhat foolishly.

She discovered that the Young Master seem to have become…become even more charming and…even taller and stronger.

Having thought to this point, a red blush appeared on Bai Yu Xi’s face.

Ling Xiao looked around and saw Bai Yu Xi’s feverish appearance. Thinking that she is under the weather, he reached over and felt her forehead before asking, “Yu Xi, do you have a fever? Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?”

Bai Yu Xi let out a startled cry and then flew towards her own room.

Coincidentally, there was someone outside just about to head into the room.

“Ouch!”

“S-sorry.” Bai Yu Xi hurriedly apologized as she looked up and said in surprise, “Who are you?”

The visitor unexpectedly is Luo Family’s Luo Qing Shuang.

Just as before, she is wearing a beautiful and especially vibrant fiery red dress. Her expression is cool and elegant just like a lone rose flower in winter.

Her cheeks slightly trembled as she stared at Bai Yu Xi with wide eyes, “You…you came out of his room?”

This question was clearly misleading and gives the wrong impression.

Bai Yu Xi was surprised by Luo Qing Shuang’s arrival. Bai Yu Xi naturally did not like Luo Qing Shuang after she had wounded Ling Xiao at the restaurant so she responded bluntly, “Of course I came out from the Young Master’s room.” Her words were straightforward and had no hidden meaning.

But these words meant something else entirely when heard by Luo Qing Shuang, so she was just about to turn and leave in anger.

At this time, Meng Xi Yun came from behind and said with a smile, “Young lady, have you seen Xiao’er yet?” She then turned to Bai Yu Xi and said, “Yu Xi, has Xiao’er not waken up yet?”

Before the two girls responded, Ling Xiao came out from the room laughing.

“Mother, I’ve been up for a while.” Ling Xiao answered and then turned to look at Luo Qing Shuang standing to the side to say, “Chubby Girl, did you come for revenge?”

“You-you scoundrel. No one wants to get revenge.” Luo Qing Shuang immediately flushed with anger when she heard “Chubby Girl,” and stomped her feet on the ground. Her glowing complexion

“Who is this young lady, Xiao’er? Why haven’t you introduced her to your mother yet?” Meng Xi Yun held back a laugh and asked Ling Xiao. She had already made up her mind that this girl could possibly be her future daughter-in-law.

Ling Xiao walked over and said, “Mother, you can ask her yourself if you want to know. I’m not very familiar with her.”

“You a.s.shole…” Luo Qing Shuang said angrily. She dropped in to apologize today, but this guy had repeatedly teased her and made her angry. If Meng Xi Yun was not here, she might have already resorted to violence.

Meng Xi Yun glared at Ling Xiao and was just about to speak with Luo Qing Shuang when she quickly turned back to Ling Xiao and said, “Xiao’er…Did…did you become a xuan pract.i.tioner?”

Meng Xi Yun’s words caused Luo Qing Shuang to look carefully at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao laughed, obviously quite pleased with himself, “Haha, I accidentally broke through last night. I’m not a trash any longer.”

Meng Xi Yun ran over to Ling Xiao and touched Ling Xiao’s face as she cried with excitement, “Good. Good. Good son! My little genius has returned!”
