Zhu Lingxue kindly consoled, "Being unable to cultivate Inner Qi isn't that bad. As long as you diligently cultivate, you can still reach the Postnatal Peak. That's considered a third-rate expert, more than enough to walk the Jianghu."
What they call the Postnatal Peak is the Sixth Grade of Bone Marrow Cutting in the Transforming Body, Yijin, and Bone Marrow Cleansing.
Although Chen Tang has already cultivated to the Fourth Grade Awakening and has opened the Four Apertures,
due to his Horizontal Body Training and Inner Strength of the Viscera, outwardly, he didn't show the characteristics of a Martial Artist in the Opening Acupoints Realm.
In normal cultivation, often stimulating the major acupoints of the head with Inner Qi causes it to surge up, accumulating in the head, and over time, the temples will slightly bulge. This is the most obvious trait of a Fourth Grade Awakening Martial Artist.
When they first boarded the ship, Ah Li's temples were still slightly swollen.
