I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Five Elements Spiritual Power, Strong Foundation, and Health
As the first strand of Five Elements spiritual energy condensed, Lu Qing’s mind was instantly captivated.
This condensed energy, formed from five distinct spiritual energies, wasn’t the vibrant color he’d expected.
Instead, it was a rather dull gray, seemingly unremarkable.
Yet, this strand of Five Elements spiritual energy was imbued with a profound aura, encompassing all five elements and conveying a sense of perfection.
Just the mere contact of his mind allowed him to sense its immense power. It
was far more powerful than any single-attribute spiritual energy he’d previously condensed.
“I didn’t expect it would be so easy to condense Five Elements spiritual energy. Is it because of my special body?”
According to the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, the most challenging step in practicing this technique is condensing the Five Elements spiritual energy.
Fusion of these five distinct, mutually reinforcing and counteracting spiritual energies requires extreme caution.
Any carelessness could lead to chaotic spiritual energy, conflict, reversed flow of Qi and blood, and an explosion of the Dantian Qi Sea.
But just now, while refining the five elements of spiritual energy, Lu Qing had felt unusually relaxed.
The five spiritual energies offered little resistance to his smelting
, allowing him to condense them with ease.
Such an unexpected event naturally astonished Lu Qing.
His first thought was the nine primordial energies that had merged with his own being.
These primordial energies were the manifestation of the very essence of this world, possessing the unique property of evolving and encompassing all things.
Having refined these nine primordial energies, his body naturally acquired a touch of these qualities.
Perhaps this was why the five spiritual energies had become so incredibly docile, allowing him to refine and smelt them without any resistance.
“It seems this [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] is truly the perfect technique for me,” Lu Qing exclaimed delightedly.
The biggest drawback of the [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] was its slow training process.
Now that he was condensing the five elements of spiritual energy so smoothly, his training could be greatly accelerated.
At least, it wouldn’t be slower than practicing a single-attribute technique.
As the Five Elements Spiritual Power matured, Lu Qing’s Dantian Qi Sea also underwent a transformation.
The attributeless innate true qi he had previously cultivated, already relegated to the margins,
was now even more tightly compressed by the Five Elements Spiritual Power’s mighty power the moment it appeared .
Had it not been restrained by the Dantian Qi Sea, it would have likely escaped.
Simultaneously, the Five Elements Spiritual Power developed a sense of longing, seemingly drawn to the innate true qi.
“Want to devour this innate true qi?”
Lu Qing immediately found it intriguing.
He knew this wasn’t a sign of the Five Elements Spiritual Power possessing consciousness, but simply a phenomenon of energy devouring one another.
He reflected that since he had already condensed the Five Elements Spiritual Power, this attributeless innate true qi was naturally of no use to him.
Furthermore, in cultivating a path, it’s taboo to be partial.
Multiple different energies exist within the Dantian Qi Sea. Unless one has grasped a special state of mind, like their Master, enabling them to complement each other and enhance their cultivation, they can be used to cultivate and enhance their power.
Otherwise, even if things remained peaceful for a while, over time, it would ultimately hinder his cultivation.
So, Lu Qing, with a thought, urged the innate true qi in his dantian to flow toward the five elements spiritual power in the center.
The five elements spiritual power, in turn, showed no mercy, instantly generating a devouring force, continuously consuming the incoming innate true qi.
Once all the innate true qi was consumed, Lu Qing’s dantian sea of qi was empty, with only a wisp of the five elements spiritual power floating within.
Despite consuming a vast amount of innate true qi, his five elements spiritual power only increased slightly, not significantly.
Seeing this, Lu Qing sighed.
He had originally thought that if consuming so much innate true qi would significantly increase his five elements spiritual power,
he might then use it to nourish himself, rapidly increasing his five elements spiritual power.
After all, condensing innate true qi was easy for him.
With the immense power of his soul, he could absorb and release vast quantities of heaven and earth energy with a single thought, refining it and condensing it into true qi.
It now seemed that there really was no such thing as a quick fix.
Such a large amount of innate true qi only increased the Five Elements’ spiritual power by a few points. With
such low efficiency, it would be much faster to diligently practice the [Five Elements Body Refining Technique].
“The gap between true qi and spiritual power shouldn’t be this great.
But the power of the Five Elements’ spiritual power far surpasses ordinary spiritual power.
Despite its slow training speed, this technique is truly astonishingly powerful.
No wonder so many of the top immortal cultivation sects of the ancient era collected it.
I imagine they recognized its uniqueness.”
However, those who could join the top immortal cultivation sects were invariably gifted and exceptionally talented.
Most of these peerless geniuses possessed extremely high aspirations, their sights set on the realms above the Yuanshen realm.
Naturally, few would pursue a technique that was slow to develop and capped at the Jindan realm.
However, for Lu Qing, with his unique constitution, the [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] was the most suitable technique for him.
“Let me test my cultivation speed first.”
Lu Qing’s mind was calm as he practiced the techniques and began to cultivate according to the Five Elements Body Refining Technique.
As his mind turned, the spiritual energy between the surrounding heaven and earth was immediately stripped away from the higher-level space by his powerful spiritual power.
Absorbed into the body, it entered the Dantian Qi Sea for refining and smelting.
Soon, a second strand of Five Elements spiritual energy appeared within the Dantian Qi Sea.
Then a third, a fourth…
As Lu Qing concentrated on his cultivation, the old doctor’s eyes widened.
“Simultaneously absorbing five spiritual energies, what kind of cultivation method is Ah Qing practicing?”
The old doctor sensed that the spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth—the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—was being absorbed into Lu Qing’s body without hesitation.
Yet, his face showed no sign of discomfort.
Instead, he remained composed, his face radiant with a precious light.
Clearly, his cultivation had gone smoothly, and the strange phenomenon he was experiencing was under his control.
This shocked the old doctor, wondering what kind of cultivation method Lu Qing was practicing.
“Master Chen, Brother Lu Qing’s cultivation should be fine, right?”
Ma Gu and the others were still at the Acquired Realm and could not sense the changes in spiritual energy.
But they could sense that Lu Qing’s aura was becoming increasingly terrifying.
The overwhelming sense of oppression filled them from afar, making them tremble with fear.
“It’s okay. Ah Qing must be practicing a very powerful technique. Don’t stray too far from me.”
The old doctor also sensed Lu Qing’s aura was alarmingly strong.
He immediately instructed Ma Gu and the others not to leave his side.
That way, he could protect them in the event of an emergency.
Fortunately, Lu Qing’s cultivation was always calm and composed.
Though his aura was powerful, he never felt out of control.
“My cultivation speed is far faster than described in the Five Elements Body Refining Art.”
Lu Qing looked at the egg-sized ball of Five Elements spiritual energy in his Dantian and smiled with satisfaction.
According to the Five Elements Body Refining Art, it would take at least a month for a beginner to condense this amount of Five Elements spiritual energy.
But he had achieved it in less than an hour.
His cultivation speed was far superior to that of the practitioners who had cultivated this technique throughout history, and even compared to the powerful Jindan realm cultivator who had created it.
“This cultivation speed is already comparable to those renowned geniuses recorded in the Lihuo Sect’s legacy,”
Lu Qing said with immense satisfaction.
It was worth his repeated suppression of his realm, which ultimately led to his breakthrough in Zhongzhou.
The benefits he gained from his tribulation were immense.
It laid a strong foundation for his future cultivation.
He even felt that with continued practice, the benefits of his deep foundation would only grow greater.
“That’s all for the consolidation of the Five Elements spiritual energy.
Next, it’s time to truly refine the body.”
The [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] is a physical cultivation technique.
The practice of physical cultivation, in simple terms, involves using spiritual energy to refine oneself and strengthen the physical body.
The only difference is that each physical cultivator’s method for refining the body differs.
Those who cultivate fire spiritual energy often use fire-refining techniques.
For example, one could place oneself in magma, using the high temperature and one’s own spiritual energy to forcibly refine the impurities in the body. Those
who cultivate water spiritual energy prefer water-refining methods.
For example, diving into the abyss of the ocean, using spiritual energy to control the cold currents beneath the water’s surface to temper the body.
In short, various schools and sects employ a myriad of unique methods, encompassing all manner of techniques.
The [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] naturally includes a similar, though even more extreme, approach.
However, this would only be required after Lu Qing’s cultivation reached a certain level.
When just starting out, such extremes were unnecessary.
Direct manipulation of the five elements’ spiritual energy to refine the body was sufficient.
Lu Qing concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, beginning to mobilize the five elements’ spiritual energy, circulating it throughout his body and refining it.
The power of the five elements’ spiritual energy was immense. As his technique circulated, the spiritual energy flowed throughout his body, nourishing and strengthening his body bit by bit wherever it touched.
“The first step in the body-refining method of the Five Elements Body Refining Art is nourishment.
The Five Elements spiritual energy contains the power of the Five Elements, reflecting the five elements of the human body.
It nourishes the body and makes it stronger.
This step is nourishment.
However, relying solely on nourishment, the body will soon reach its limit and will be difficult to strengthen.
At that point, if the body is to be further strengthened, it must enter the second step of body refining: breaking.
Using extreme force to break through the limits and shackles, the body can break through the limits and continue to strengthen.
The extreme body-refining methods of various schools are actually aimed at pushing one’s potential and breaking through the limits.
However, with my current level of cultivation, I am still some distance away from the limit of nourishment, so there is no need to rush.” Lu Qing
mentally urged the Five Elements spiritual energy to circulate throughout his body to nourish his body.
The various key principles of the Five Elements Body Refining Art also emerged in his mind.
“Brother’s body is glowing!”
At this time, Xiaoyan exclaimed softly, her eyes full of wonder.
The others also noticed that Lu Qing, sitting cross-legged on the ground, was now radiating a white glow.
The light, like mist and air, formed a halo, emphasizing Lu Qing’s majestic and inviolable appearance.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qing felt that the Five Elements spiritual energy in his Dantian had been almost completely depleted.
He knew that this period of cultivation had come to a temporary end. He
felt his body, the overwhelming power of his spirit and soul, coupled with his precise control of himself, and
concluded that this first round of physical training had strengthened his body by more than 10%.
Although the effects of cultivation are always faster at the beginning,
this speed of training still surprised Lu Qing.
After all, according to the Five Elements Body Refining Technique,
normally, reaching this level would take at least one or two months.
Yet, he had already achieved this in just his first attempt.
Slowly gathering his aura, Lu Qing opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was the crowd retreating in the distance.
“Brother, you’re awake!”
Xiaoyan cried out in delight as she saw the glow emanating from Lu Qing’s body recede.
She ran towards him with a chuckle.
The old doctor sensed that Lu Qing had finished his training and didn’t try to stop him.
Xiaoyan trotted over to Lu Qing, staring at his face with curiosity.
“What’s going on? Is there something on my face?”
Lu Qing was puzzled by the little girl’s gaze.
“Brother, Xiaoyan just saw your body glowing. How did you do that?” Xiaoyan asked.
“That was just a strange phenomenon from my training, nothing special,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
“Then, if Xiaoyan becomes more powerful, will she be able to do that?” the little girl continued.
Although he didn’t understand why the little girl was so persistent about this question, Lu Qing nodded affirmatively.
“Of course. Didn’t I tell you that if Xiaoyan practices diligently, she can even fly? Shining a little light is nothing.”
“Really? Then Xiaoyan, you need to practice even harder!” The little girl’s eyes lit up.
Wei Zian saw this and a look of envy crossed his face.
Seeing the envy on his face, Lu Qing smiled and said, “Master Ma and Zi’an, you too! Now, you both possess a source of primordial energy.
Once you’ve absorbed it, your talents should be transformed.
Reaching the Xiantian realm in the future will surely be a breeze.
Then, I’ll teach you the Qi-eating method. The path to
immortality won’t be far off either.” Wei Zi’an’s spirits soared upon hearing this, and he immediately declared, “Doctor Lu Qing, I won’t let you down!”
Even Ma Gu’s expression was resolute.
He had once considered it a great blessing to even reach the Internal Visceral Realm.
Now, Lu Qing had bestowed upon him such a great opportunity.
If he didn’t seize it, he would be truly ungrateful.
Only Hu Zezhi, standing nearby, had a slightly dimmed gaze, but she quickly regained her composure and showed no signs of abnormality.
“Ah Qing, how did you get through your comprehension of the domain?”
the old doctor asked.
He didn’t inquire about the technique Lu Qing had been practicing,
but rather about his understanding of the domain.
Hearing this, Lu Qing smiled slightly and held out his hand.
The next moment, the old doctor’s eyes suddenly widened.
