Xue could only feel her heart sinking. It was as if she had fallen into an abyss. Slowly, she sank to the bottom of the abyss. Her vision was filled with darkness.
Time seemed to have stopped. She did not know how long she had been in the darkness.
Her brain froze, and so did time and space.
She did not know when she woke up. There was a dot of starlight shining in front of her. It was twinkling like the stars in the night sky.
She moved her mind and an idea came to her mind. She went closer to the starlight.
As she got closer, the starlight turned into a ball of light. There was a door in the light. She could not help but focus and enter the light door. Then, a loud bang rang in her ears.
All seven thousand and eight hundred acupoints in her body were opened. She blended with heaven and earth. She was the mountain, the sea, and the earth.
Activating the difficult Crescent Cryptic became smooth and smooth. She continuously absorbed the energy from heaven and earth. The feeling of fullness and vigor filled her body. She wanted to scream to the sky to relieve the joy in her heart.
She opened her bright eyes. Her eyes flashed and slowly retracted, "Thank you, Master!"
Chu Li had already retracted his finger. He smiled, "Your comprehension is not bad."
Xue immediately smiled, "Master, am I an Innate Master?"
Chu Li nodded.
Xue sighed, "So this is the Innate Master's Boundary … It's really different!"
She felt that her cultivation level had increased by ten times. The inner energy of the Crescent Cryptic flowed continuously like a river. There was a huge amount of power in her body. It was as if she could break the sky with one punch.
Chu Li said, "Practice the Dark Yin Palm for the next few days. Consolidate your cultivation level. The feeling of omnipotence is just an illusion."
"Yes," Xue quickly agreed.
Her feeling of floating disappeared. She calmed down. It seemed that this feeling of omnipotence was a normal phenomenon. It was not unique to her. Innate Masters were not invincible.
Chu Li waved his hand. Xue stood up and left.
She left Chu Li's quiet room and went to the courtyard. She began to practice the Dark Yin Palm.
She felt the difference in an instant. The Dark Yin Palm was performed more smoothly and naturally. There were some parts that she did not understand before. Now that she understood it, her palm technique became more and more smooth. It was light and elegant.
As she performed it, her body quickly cooled down. The inner energy could be transferred through objects. It was indeed different. The power of the Dark Yin Palm could be fully unleashed.
The power of the Dark Yin Palm had several layers. The first layer would slow down the opponent's internal energy and movement techniques. Once the opponent came into contact with her internal energy, they would be frozen. The next layer would freeze their heart and kill them instantly. The next layer would hurt them invisibly. A trace of extremely pure Yin internal energy would destroy the balance of the entire body's five viscera and six bowels. The imbalance of Yin and Yang would be fatal.
In the following days. Other than going to the Martial Arts Hall to visit Madame Jiang, she also spent her time in the courtyard practicing martial arts, becoming more and more adept at practicing the Mysterious Yin Palm.
On the other hand, Chu Li had been observing the tiger bones, condensing his aura and increasing the effect of the Art of White Tiger.
As the tiger's aura grew stronger, his body became stronger and stronger. His strength and speed continued to increase, and he sighed inwardly at the power of the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait.
The Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait was indeed an Ancient Lost Art. It was said that the Ancient Lost Art could fight against the Spirit Beasts without falling into a disadvantageous position. In the end, the Spirit Beasts were driven into the Hundred-Thousand Hills. From then on, martial arts declined day by day.
Chu Li speculated that the Spirit Beasts entering the Hundred-Thousand Hills might be the root cause.
Without the oppression of the Spirit Beasts, the potential of human life and death could not be stimulated. More importantly, martial arts were born from the Spirit Beasts. However, people nowadays did not know what the Spirit Beasts looked like, nor could they feel the aura of the Spirit Beasts. Instead of drawing a tiger, it became a dog. Hence, the power of martial arts was greatly reduced. The Enlightened Mastery's Boundary was getting harder and harder.
If one wanted to step into the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary, he might have to enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills. However, the Spirit Beasts ran rampant in the Hundred-Thousand Hills. Anyone below the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary would die. To survive in the Hundred-Thousand Hills, one would need the luck of the Heaven and Earth Bell.
Chu Li thought to himself that his luck was not bad. Otherwise, he would not have reincarnated into this world. He retained the memories of his past life and cultivated the Omniscient Mirror. However, he did not dare to take the risk and enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills.
Unfortunately, the knowledge from his past life was still useless. All that was left was the way of thinking that was different from this world.

In the early morning, Xue Ling saw Chu Li studying the bone in the pagoda. She knew that he would study it for the entire morning and would not pay attention to anyone. So, she left the courtyard and sailed to the Martial Arts Hall. She wanted to look for some secret manuals to read.
After stepping into the Innate Mastery's Boundary, her vision and feelings were different. She had a different feeling when she looked at the secret manuals.
The breeze caressed her face and the surface of the lake was clear. She wore a bluish-white gown and leisurely sailed on the lake.
After a quarter of an hour, she stopped the boat and docked at the bustling martial arts field. Her clear eyes swept across the crowd and saw Jiang Kuai in the crowd.
Jiang Kuai had a lot of experience and he had the ability to talk to people and ghosts. In just a few days, he had completely integrated into the Public House's Protectors. He made a few friends and went out to drink from time to time. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and lived like a fish in water.
Xue Ling admired Jiang Kuai's smoothness. He could put down his pride. He was a top-notch master and his Light-body Technique was unparalleled. If it were her, she would not even bother with those guys.
Even Master could not be like Jiang Kuai. He did not like to talk and this was not very likable. It was difficult for him to hang out with others.
As soon as Xue Ling stepped into the martial arts field, everyone's eyes focused on her.
Jiang Kuai strode towards her and smiled. "Miss Xue, why do you have the time to come over today? Where's Brother Chu?"
"Master is busy." Xue Ling shook her head. "Brother Jiang, are you doing well?"
"Hehe," Jiang Kuai was in high spirits and smiled. "I found a few like-minded people. It's not bad. Oh right, Miss Xue, can you help me take a look? What kind of mission should I take?"
He was wary and repulsed by the Public House. He had no choice but to come in because of his wife.
After coming in for a few days, he realized that he was making a fuss out of nothing. He thought too highly of himself.
These Protectors were not mediocre. They lived freely and came and went as they pleased. As long as they completed enough missions and did not violate the Public House's rules, they could do whatever they wanted. No one would care. They could even go out and play for a month or two without a problem. This was because the mission statistics were calculated at the end of the year.
He had been studying what kind of mission to take these few days.
He could not do the business he used to do. He spent money like water and he needed to have some income. The reward for each mission was very high. If he took one, he would not have to worry about food and drink. Moreover, it was uncomfortable to be idle.
Xue Ling said, "You can find a patrolling mission. It's safe and you can familiarize yourself with Chong Ming Town. It'll help you adapt to the Public House faster."
"Patrolling?" Jiang Kuai pondered.
There were many patrolling missions but there were only a few people who took up patrolling missions. It was very quiet. Most people did not want to take up this kind of mission that was not exciting and the reward was not high.
Xue Ling glanced at him. "Brother Jiang, you think patrolling is boring?"
Jiang Kuai smiled. "Everyone doesn't like this mission."
Xue Ling said, "That's true. They're used to doing exciting missions. Patrolling missions are really boring. After ten days, it's not as good as a day outside."
Jiang Kuai smiled. "What's so special about patrolling missions?"
"Nothing." Xue Ling shook her head. "All these years, there are very few people who are stupid enough to break the law in Chong Ming Town. Patrolling the town is similar to a night watchman, so the reward is not high. … Actually, it's to take care of the Protectors. Some Protectors are tired and don't want to go out and experience hardships anymore. They want to live a stable life, so they just take up this mission."
"The Public House is really considerate," Jiang Kuai praised.
He gradually felt that the Public House was generous and generous. The way they handled things was admirable and people were willing to serve them. It was far from being as overbearing and oppressive as he thought.
Xue Ling smiled. "Brother Jiang, you're new here. It's better to start with the easy missions and slowly familiarize yourself with them. There's still time, there's no need to rush."
