32: Chapter 32 Su Xuanji Breaks Through to Grandmaster!

Su Xuanji steadied her nerves, smoothed out her skirt, and then stepped toward the Jin Wang Palace.

The several guards at the entrance all looked at Su Xuanji in surprise, but did not stop her.

As soon as Su Xuanji reached the door, she saw Xia Jin sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, eyes slightly closed.

Clearly, just now, widening the Meridians for Eunuch Wei had consumed quite a bit of his True Qi.

Seemingly sensing Su Xuanji's arrival, Xia Jin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze landing on the red figure at the door, and he was slightly startled.

Seeing him look over, Su Xuanji's heart skipped a beat for no reason. She walked in front of Xia Jin and bowed: "Your Highness."

Xia Jin looked Su Xuanji up and down, a hint of novelty flashing in his eyes, his tone carrying a touch of teasing: "Today is quite rare. This is the first time I, this Prince, have seen Cult Leader Su dressed like this. Could it be specifically for me?"

Hearing this, Su Xuanji's face flushed slightly, and she blurted out: "What, is it not good-looking?"

As the words left her mouth, she realized her tone seemed to care too much about his evaluation, which was somewhat inappropriate.

Xia Jin shook his head: "It looks quite good on you. It is completely different from your usual martial attire, and has a unique charm. This outfit suits you well; you should wear it more often when you have free time."

"Your Highness is joking." Su Xuanji's eyes brightened, but she immediately turned her head away, avoiding his smiling gaze.

Seeing this, Xia Jin did not continue to dwell on this topic.

"Alright, let us set aside the small talk. Are you ready?"

Su Xuanji's expression turned serious, and she nodded earnestly: "Yes, I will have to trouble you, Your Highness!"

"Good." Xia Jin got off the Cold Jade Bed and pointed to the position in front of him, "Sit down."

Su Xuanji did not shy away, sitting cross-legged directly opposite Xia Jin, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

"Calm your heart and steady your breath, I am about to begin!" Xia Jin's eyes became serious, and he extended his palms, gently pressing them against Su Xuanji's back.

The next instant, a warm and peculiar True Qi slowly flowed from his palms into Su Xuanji's body.

"Next, circulate your True Qi and guide my True Qi into your Dantian. Do not resist." Xia Jin's voice sounded in her ear.

Su Xuanji nodded, and the pure, feminine True Qi within her body began to flow slowly, actively accepting the peculiar True Qi surging into her body.

At first, the two streams of True Qi were somewhat distinct, but under Xia Jin's precise control and Su Xuanji's wholehearted cooperation, they soon blended like water and milk, merging into one.

"Steady your mind and follow my guidance to impact the three acupoints: 'Shenque', 'Qi Sea', and 'Guanyuan'! This is the key to advancing to the Great Grandmaster Realm!"

Unconsciously, Xia Jin's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

Helping someone achieve a Breakthrough was a first, even for him.

If there was the slightest mistake, not only might Su Xuanji lose her life, but he himself might also suffer a backlash!

"Boom!"

With the first impact, Su Xuanji's body trembled slightly, sweat appeared on her forehead, and a muffled sound came from within her body.

Xia Jin's expression remained unchanged as he continued to drive the True Qi generated by the Nine Turns Creation Sutra.

A quarter of an hour later, the aura around Su Xuanji had billowed to the extreme, her clothes fluttering without wind, and a painful expression appeared on her face.

Now is the moment!

A flash of light passed through Xia Jin's eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "Break!"

He thrust his palms forward suddenly, and the merged, majestic True Qi slammed fiercely against the already tottering barrier of the three acupoints!

"Crack—"

It was as if the sound of something shattering came from within Su Xuanji's body.

Immediately after, an aura far more powerful than the previous Grandmaster Realm suddenly spread out from her body!

A powerful wave of Qi swept outward with her as the center.

Great Grandmaster! It was a success!

A trace of joy flashed across Su Xuanji's face. She slowly opened her eyes, and her entire temperament seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation—less sharp, and more harmonious.

"I succeeded! I really... broke through to the Great Grandmaster Realm!" Feeling the ceaseless, surging True Qi within her body, Su Xuanji could not hide her excitement.

She was very clear that, although the ninth stage of the Grandmaster Realm and the first stage of the Great Grandmaster Realm were only one level apart, in reality, they were as different as clouds and mud.

How many people have spent their entire lives stuck at this threshold.

Xia Jin slowly withdrew his palms, a look of relief on his face as well.

"Thank you for your assistance, Your Highness!" Su Xuanji stood up and bowed deeply and solemnly to Xia Jin.

"That is enough! There is no need for thanks!" Xia Jin waved his hand, his voice slightly weary: "You can try your current state and feel the power of the Great Great Grandmaster Realm."

"Alright!" Su Xuanji did not hesitate. Her gaze swept over the weapon rack at the side of the hall, and she directly took down a long sword.

She did not perform any complex sword moves; she simply waved it casually, and streaks of Sword Qi silently diffused outward.

Only hearing a few "chi chi" soft sounds, the hard wall not far away already had several sword marks of varying depths.

"The Great Great Grandmaster Realm is indeed different!" Su Xuanji stopped the sword in her hand, the joy in her eyes even stronger.

"Spend the next few days getting familiar with the power of the Great Great Grandmaster Realm." Xia Jin looked at Su Xuanji, but his tone shifted, "Next, I have a matter that requires you and your Hehuan Sect to handle."

Su Xuanji's expression became solemn. She returned the long sword to its place, walked back in front of Xia Jin, and said seriously: "Please speak, Your Highness. Whatever you command, the entire Hehuan Sect will do its utmost."

"No rush." Xia Jin took out a letter he had already prepared from his bosom and handed it over.

"The specific details are all inside. Read it carefully after you return. Remember, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential."

A trace of doubt flashed in Su Xuanji's eyes, but she did not ask further. She took the letter with both hands, tucked it close to her body, and solemnly replied: "Understood."

"Hmm," Xia Jin's face looked somewhat pale under the moonlight. He waved his hand at Su Xuanji, "Today you have just achieved the Great Great Grandmaster Realm, so you also need time to consolidate. If there is nothing else, you should go back and rest first."

"Yes." Su Xuanji replied.

However, just as she was preparing to leave, her gaze swept over Xia Jin's face, and she could not help but ask with concern: "Your Highness... are you alright?"

Xia Jin shook his head, "It is fine, it is just that the consumption was a bit large. A night of meditation will be enough."

Seeing him say this, Su Xuanji felt it would be inappropriate to stay any longer.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but in the end, she only said: "Then... take care, Your Highness. Xuanji will take her leave."

Only after walking out of the palace gate and feeling the cool breeze blowing against her face did Su Xuanji gently let out a breath.

She felt that her heart was inexplicably empty.

Looking back at the Jin Wang Palace, she could not help but frown.

"Did I... did I just... miss a good opportunity?" A strange thought involuntarily popped up.

But immediately, Su Xuanji shook her head violently, forcefully throwing this absurd thought out of her mind, her cheeks flushing slightly again in the night.

"Su Xuanji, oh Su Xuanji, what are you thinking about? Today was only to achieve the Great Great Grandmaster Realm! Nothing more!"
