With Chu Li's two-pronged help, Xue Ling quickly broke through the Opening Meridian Channel and reached the Breaking Acupuncture Point Boundary. The Crescent Cryptic was very powerful and the Breaking Acupuncture Point Boundary was not weak. It could even defeat a rank eight Protector.
During the day, other than practicing the Crescent Cryptic Eight Forms, Xue Ling had also chosen a palm technique, the Dark Cryptic Palm. It was also a top-notch martial art.
The power of top-notch martial arts was strong, but it was not easy to cultivate. It required a better comprehension. Xue Ling's comprehension was average, but with Chu Li around, he would give her pointers and sparring with her from time to time to stimulate her comprehension, so she cultivated very quickly.
Before reaching the Innate Mastery's Boundary, Xue Ling could not unleash the full power of the Dark Yin Palm. She could only focus on the Essence of the Dark Yin Palm. There was a trace of Cold Poison on her palm. Once touched, the cold Qi would invade and destroy the Yin and Yang Qi in the opponent's body.
When one reached the Innate Realm, one's inner force could be transmitted through objects, and that was when the Dark Yin Palm would reveal its true power.
The [Mysterious Yin Palm] combined with the [Crescent Cryptic Chant] was a combination of extreme Yin and extreme coldness. Its power was astonishing. Even those who were stronger than her might not be able to withstand it. Only those who had cultivated the heart technique of extreme Yin and extreme Yang could withstand it.
Chu Li had the intention to train her, so naturally, he would not let her have an easy time. After eating in the morning, she strolled around for an hour before starting to cultivate. She used the Dark Yin Palm to spar with Chu Li, and Chu Li used all kinds of martial arts to feed her.
He had memorized many top-notch martial arts in his mind. He took them out and practiced them one by one. Even though he was not familiar with them and his power was greatly reduced, Xue Ling still could not block them. She was either hit by punches or kicks, stabbed by swords or slashed by swords.
Even if the sword was made of wood, it would not feel good if it landed on her body. Chu Li hardened his heart and used quite a bit of strength in his hands. She would be in pain for half a day if she was hit by the sword. He had stimulated her potential.
Xue Ling clenched her teeth and persevered. She had an obsession in her heart. She wanted to master the unparalleled martial arts and defeat the masters of the martial arts world. All this while, she had been training hard alone but the results were minimal. Her improvement was minimal and she had lost all confidence. The only thing that kept her going was her obsession.
Now that Chu Li was giving her pointers wholeheartedly, she knew that this was a rare opportunity. No matter how much pain and suffering she had to endure, she had to grab hold of this opportunity and cultivate fiercely.
The Crescent Cryptic progressed by leaps and bounds. Her meridians became tougher and her inner energy flowed more smoothly and quickly. Her subtle understanding of the Dark Yin Palm gradually deepened. She felt that she was being reborn every day.
Despite the unbearable pain, she still desperately cultivated every day.
Chu Li had a whole new level of respect for her. He thought that she wouldn't be able to endure it for more than a few days and that she would give up. He didn't expect her to become more courageous the more she suffered. She was a cultivation fanatic.
A month passed by quickly. Chu Li guessed that the Second Lady would be departing soon. He did not know the exact time, but he guessed that it would not be long.

Startling Cloud Faction of Yunzhou City
The Xu family mansion was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
Protector Xu Anxia and Zheng Gongming were sitting in the main hall. They did not say a word and an oppressive atmosphere enveloped the main hall.
Bang! The door to the hall was pulled open, and the hall master of the Thunder Hall, Hu Hai, strode in. His fat and muscular body was light and agile. He sat down on the armchair, causing the armchair to creak.
"Motherf * cker!" Hu Hai gritted his teeth. "It must be the Equal of Heaven Association!"
"Hall Master Hu, what's the point of saying this now?" Xu Anxia looked at him snappily.
Xu Anxia was young and normally did not dare to be so rude to Hu Hai. Now that he was holding back his anger, he was on the verge of exploding.
Hu Hai glared at him and snorted, "It's all because you guys are useless!"
Xu Anxia gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Zheng Gongming's handsome face was gloomy. He stroked his beard and sighed. "We have indeed failed in our duties. We could not stop him!"
"Only one person?" Hu Hai asked. "Is there really only one person?"
"Yes, this person's movement technique is extremely fast and his palm energy is extremely strange!" Zheng Gongming stroked his beard and frowned. "I don't think I've heard of such a palm technique. Inner energy like fire."
He recalled the scene from before. A blue silhouette appeared in front of him and he hastily struck out with his palm. The opponent's palm energy was like lava rushing into his body. His meridians were instantly burned and his inner energy could not stop it. He allowed it to wreak havoc in his body and he was injured in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, this silhouette broke through the two's defense and hit the Association Leader's back. The Association Leader immediately fainted and had not woken up. He had taken all kinds of spirit medicine but there was no effect.
He was very worried that no one would be able to stop such a master from entering the Ascending Cloud Town. No matter which faction it was, with such a master, it would be a great threat. The ruling position of the Startling Cloud Association was in jeopardy.
Hu Hai frowned. "That's strange. Where did this master come from?"
Xu Anxia said, "How could such a master be unknown? He must be a famous master."
"Sigh …" Hu Hai sighed. "I don't know if the Association Leader can survive this. The Startling Cloud Association is really unlucky!"
"Sigh …" Zheng Gongming stroked his beard and shook his head. His face was pale.
The few of them took turns to treat the Association Leader's injuries. They used their inner energy to suppress the boiling inner energy but they could only suppress it. They could not expel it. Her injuries were getting worse. If this went on, the Association Leader might die.
Xu Anxia frowned. "It's a pity that we can't find Master Li!"
"Only the Association Leader knows how to contact Master Li!" Zheng Gongming shook his head.
"The most important thing now is to find a way to wake the Association Leader up. Even if it's just for a while!" Hu Hai frowned. "Otherwise, the Startling Cloud Association will be finished!"
He felt that only Master Li could possibly stop that person. Otherwise, even if the Association Leader was cured, they would still not be able to escape from that person's hands!
"I have an idea." Zheng Gongming pondered. "But it won't help Lady Qi's injuries. I'm just afraid …"
"Let's use your idea! Look at the situation now, Elder Zheng, you're still being so clingy. It's decided! "Hu Hai interrupted him." You're looking for a way out of death. Hurry up! "
Xu Anxia stared at Zheng Gongming. "Guardian Zheng, could it be …?"
"I can't guarantee it." Zheng Gongming sighed.
"I'll bear all the responsibility!" Hu Hai said loudly. "Don't be so wishy-washy. Even if the Association Leader is awake, she'll agree with my decision. Hurry up, Elder Zheng!"
"… Alright." Zheng Gongming nodded slowly.
The three of them entered the bedroom. Yue Er was sitting in front of the bed. Chen Siyu was lying quietly on the bed. Her face was bare and her expression was serene. Her face was flushed as if she was drunk. Her breaths were rapid and her chest was heaving up and down violently.
Yue Er stared at her anxiously and worriedly. From time to time, she would dip the warm towel in the water to cool it down and place it on her forehead.
Chen Siyu's breath was scorching hot.
Hu Hai said, "Miss Yue Er, we'll think of a way to wake the Association Leader up!"
"Yes." Yue Er stood up and gave way.
Hu Hai looked at Zheng Gongming. "Elder Zheng!"
Zheng Gongming hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Now that things have come to this, we can only do this!"
He stood on the bed and adjusted his breathing for a moment. Then, he slowly pressed his index finger on Chen Siyu's forehead and did not move.
Everyone in the room stared at him with their eyes wide open. Their breathing became lighter and they did not dare to make a sound.
After about ten minutes, Zheng Gongming's face was pale and he let go of his hand. He staggered backward and Xu Anxia quickly held him up.
Hu Hai quickly asked, "How is it, Elder Zheng? Did you succeed?"
"The Association Leader will wake up soon." Zheng Gongming forced a smile. "But she won't be awake for too long. Her injuries will rapidly worsen and she won't be able to hold on for long."
"I understand, I understand." Hu Hai quickly said, "The Association Leader will find a way!"
Suddenly, a soft moan came from Chen Siyu's mouth. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at everyone blankly.
They gathered in front of the bed and stared at her nervously.
"Miss, you're awake!" Yue Er cried tears of joy.
Chen Siyu frowned slightly and looked at her. Then, she looked at Hu Hai and the other two people beside the bed. "Clan Leader Hu, Guardian Zheng, Guardian Xu, am I injured?"
"Association Leader, your injury is very serious. Can Master Li cure it?"
"… Who is that person?"
"I can't find out." Hu Hai shook his head in shame. "That guy seems to have popped out from a rock. There's no news about him at all. We can't stop him. If there's a next time …"
He smiled bitterly. "We can only ask Master Li to help us!"
"Mm." Chen Siyu gently nodded. "Yue Er."
"Miss!" Yue Er wiped her tears.
"Jewelry box." Chen Siyu's breath was weak but her words were clear.
"Yes, Miss." Yue Er quickly got up and took out a red sandalwood box. The outside was carved with patterns. It was simple and gorgeous.
"Guardian Xu!"
Xu Anxia quickly said, "Yes! Association Leader? "
Chen Siyu said, "There's a silver bracelet in the jewelry box. It's engraved with Master Li's address. Take the silver bracelet to Master Li and leave the rest to him."
"Yes, Association Leader!" Xu Anxia quickly nodded and looked at Yue Er.
Yue Er opened the jewelry box and took out a pair of silver bracelets for him.
Chen Siyu looked at Hu Hai and Zheng Gongming. "Clan Leader Hu, Guardian Zheng, when Master Li comes back, listen to him."
"Yes, Association Leader," the two of them said in a deep voice.
