I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 312

Chapter 312: The Way of Immortality, Returning to Qinglong City

The old doctor stared at Lu Qing’s palm in shock.

A small domain, the size of an egg, slowly spun within it.

It was identical to the technique he had demonstrated to Lu Qing before.

The difference was that the domain he had demonstrated was a sword energy domain, imbued with the power of water and fire.

Lu Qing’s domain, on the other hand, was a gray, misty, and unremarkable one.

But the old doctor sensed a profound and profound meaning in the small domain Lu Qing held, far more profound than it appeared.

“Ah Qing, your domain… seems to contain spiritual energy of multiple attributes?”

the old doctor exclaimed, deeply shaken. It wasn’t

just that Lu Qing, after only a short while of comprehending it, had already achieved a mastery almost comparable to his own.

He intuitively sensed that the domain Lu Qing held was incredibly profound.

Even he couldn’t discern its true nature.

“Master, your vision is truly sharp. Indeed, my realm does contain several types of spiritual energy, encompassing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“All five elements?” The old doctor was startled. “Then you just absorbed the spiritual energy of all five elements simultaneously…”

“That’s a new technique I’m practicing, a physical cultivation method that trains all five elements.

After surviving the thunder tribulation, my body transformed, and my ability to absorb spiritual energy of all attributes increased significantly.

Practicing this technique will yield twice the result with half the effort,”

Lu Qing explained.

“A physical cultivation method?” The old doctor’s interest piqued.

“Yes, in the ancient era of immortal cultivation, the path of immortal cultivation was divided into many schools.

This physical cultivation method is one of them.

If you’re interested, Master, I’ll compile detailed information for you later.”

“Okay,” the old doctor nodded.

He knew Lu Qing had received a mysterious inheritance and was well-versed in the ancient era of immortal cultivation.

“Your domain contains only spiritual energy, but no vital energy. Have you converted all the energy within you into spiritual energy?” the old doctor asked.

“The cultivation technique I practice is quite unique. The spiritual energy I condense is quite overpowering. True Qi struggles to coexist with it and is easily devoured.

Therefore, I plan to specialize in one discipline, focusing on cultivating spiritual energy.”

The old doctor understood.

Indeed, spiritual energy is significantly more powerful than true Qi.

As a practitioner of both spiritual energy and true Qi, he could naturally sense the difference between the two.

“Master, the resurgence of spiritual energy is a major trend. The power of spiritual energy is even greater than that of true Qi, and its upper limit is higher.

In the future, cultivation will surely restore the supremacy of the immortal path.

Master, you should make a decision soon.”

The old doctor fell into deep thought.

In fact, he had recently encountered the same problem in his practice.

Spiritual energy and true Qi are two different types of energies.

Whether in terms of power or spirituality, spiritual energy is superior.

It also provides greater nourishment to the body.

Although practicing the Breathing Method is more difficult and slower than the Xiantian Qigong,

this disadvantage is clearly not worth mentioning compared to the benefits of spiritual energy.

With this in mind, the old doctor finally made a decision.

“That’s fine. Previously, we practiced both spiritual energy and true qi simultaneously because the spiritual energy had just revived and was still thin, making it difficult to condense spiritual energy.

Now that the spiritual energy is becoming increasingly rich, it no longer hinders our cultivation. It’s time to specialize in one path.”

“Then, Master, which lineage do you want to cultivate? I’ll compile a set of techniques to pass on to you.”

Seeing his master’s decision, Lu Qing smiled.

“That’s not urgent. I know nothing about immortal cultivation.

I’ll make a decision once I understand the specific schools you’re talking about.

For now, I’ll transform all the true qi in my body into spiritual energy.”

“Then I’ll protect you.”

The old doctor was a decisive man.

Having made his decision, he didn’t hesitate. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began practicing.

The old doctor now had four types of energy in his Dantian Qi Sea.

Water-attributed spiritual power and fire-attributed spiritual power, water-attributed true qi and fire-attributed true qi. He had grasped the profound artistic conception of the harmonious harmony   of water and fire

, perfectly harnessing their power. Therefore   , far from conflicting, the water-fire spiritual energy and the water-fire true qi merged and strengthened each other, functioning perfectly.   However, because spiritual power was more powerful than true qi, the old doctor’s dantian experienced the same situation as Lu Qing’s before.   The water-fire spiritual power was concentrated in the center, while the water-fire true qi was squeezed to the edges.   The old doctor had a hunch that even if he didn’t make a decision now,   as his cultivation increased and the water-fire spiritual power grew, there would still be no room for the true qi in his dantian.   Rather than waiting until then for the two to clash and harm him, it was better to resolve the issue quickly.   Concentrating his mind and calming his spirit, the old doctor began to use his mind to urge his true qi toward the water-fire spiritual energy in the center.   The water-fire spiritual power, in turn, began to devour it without mercy.   Because they shared the same origin, both cultivated by the old doctor.   Despite the difference in nature, the integration process was still very smooth.

Before long, the water and fire spiritual energy had completely devoured all the zhenqi.

When the zhenqi was completely absorbed by the spiritual energy, the old doctor suddenly felt his dantian empty.

A sense of relief spread throughout his body.

The spiritual energy in his dantian flowed smoothly and unimpeded.

He instantly understood that his choice was the right one.

If he had delayed any longer, the problem of zhenqi and spiritual energy would have affected his cultivation.

“Master’s refining speed is quite fast.”

Lu Qing had been paying close attention to his master’s condition.

Suddenly, he saw his body tremble slightly, and a sense of ease and harmony rose from him. He

immediately knew that his master had already let the spiritual energy refine and absorb all the zhenqi in his body.

He thought for a moment, then took out a jade slip, and the power of his soul surged, infusing it into the jade slip and inscribing it.

Even Li Weitian, before his death, was able to create a jade slip of inheritance.

Lu Qing’s current spiritual power was far more powerful than Li Weitian’s at that time.

Naturally, he could easily create a jade slip of inheritance.

Half an hour later, the old doctor awoke from his training.

His eyes were bright, evidently in excellent spirits.

An ethereal aura emerged from him, resembling an immortal, leaving Ma Gu and the others stunned.

At this point, both master and disciple had completely dissipated their inner zhenqi, officially becoming true immortals.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing had also completed the jade slip.

He handed it over. “Master, I’ve recorded all the information about the various schools of cultivation within it. You can take your time to review it when you have time.”

The old doctor nodded, took the jade slip, and put it away.

At this point, as master and disciple, there was no need for formalities.

After putting the jade slip away, the old doctor glanced at the sky and saw that Xiaoyan’s eyelids were already drooping.

He smiled and said, “Well, it’s getting late. Let’s all go to bed. We can discuss anything tomorrow.”

At the old doctor’s words, everyone felt a sudden wave of sleepiness.

After all, they had traveled all day.

Lu Qing and the old doctor had also spent considerable time practicing, and it was already past midnight.

Therefore, everyone said nothing more and went to their respective seats to rest.

As for the night watch, Lu Qing was left to his duties.

His spiritual power was so strong that even days without sleep would have little effect on him.

To him, the night watch was just a matter of meditation.

He didn’t even ask Magu to relieve him during the second half of the night, remaining on guard until dawn.

Furthermore, by the time everyone woke up in the morning, he had already prepared breakfast.

“Brother Lu Qing, old doctor, what should we do next? Should we head straight back to the village, or what?”

Magu asked during breakfast.

They had traveled so quickly yesterday, all day, to evade the spies of the various factions within the Holy City.

Now they were thousands of miles away.

It was impossible for those spies to catch up.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then said, “Let’s head straight back to the village. We’ve been out for so long, and we don’t know what’s going on in the village. It’s best to go back and take a look.”

He was thinking of the patient he had encountered in Yunlai Town that day who had been bitten by a venomous snake.

The poison that had bitten the patient was a strange one, a poison of evil spirits.

And the snake that had bitten him was supposed to be non-venomous.

This indicated that the changes in the heavens and earth had not only revived spiritual energy, but also brought with them a surge of poisonous and toxic energy.

Jiuli Village nestled against the vast Shiwan Mountains, and he had no idea what the situation was like there, whether similar toxic mutations had occurred.

Worried, he naturally wanted to return as soon as possible.

The old doctor shared this thought and nodded, saying, “Ah Qing is right. We’ve been away from the village for so long,

we should return soon.” “Okay, then, let’s continue our journey,” Magu agreed.

“Miss Hu, we’ll reach Qinglong City in two days at most, and you’ll be reunited with your father,” Lu Qing said to Hu Zezhi.

“Yes,” Hu Zezhi’s eyes lit up with longing.

Although she hadn’t been away from home for long—less than a month at most—

so much had happened during that time .

She had even nearly died several times, leaving her terribly longing for her father, the warm figure who always smiled and protected her for over a decade.

For the next two days, Lu Qing and the others continued their journey.

As expected, driven by the formation vehicle’s breakneck speed, they arrived at Qinglong Pass on the morning of the third day.

“Brother Lu Qing, old doctor, I just asked, and today is the day Qinglong City opens its gates.”

A crowd gathered in front of Yixiantian Canyon. Ma Gu, who had just returned from asking questions, said with a cheerful look.

“Looks like we’re lucky,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

Hu Zezhi stood at the cliff’s edge, gazing down with a complicated expression.

It was Ma Gu who had dumped the bodies of the three women in red, who were supposed to be escorting her but had later attempted to murder her, at the bottom of this cliff.

That day was also Hu Zezhi’s first experience of the world’s dangers, far beyond her imagination.

Returning here, her thoughts remained as complex as ever.

“Sister Hu, we’re leaving!”

Hu Zezhi was lost in thought, gazing at the clouds below when Xiaoyan’s voice reached her.

It snapped her back to reality. After another deep look down the cliff, she turned and ran towards the others.

“We’re here.”

Back at Qinglong Yixiantian Canyon, Lu Qing and the others felt the same way.

The strange pressure within this mysterious canyon was exactly the same as when they arrived.

It was still so majestic and solemn, forcing no one to show any disrespect.

Even though Lu Qing had achieved a significant breakthrough in his cultivation, becoming a true immortal cultivator, he still felt a sense of oppression within him.

It was hard to imagine how terrifying the existence of this great rift must have been.

Exiting the Yixiantian Gorge, they stepped onto the massive Qinglong Bridge.

Revisiting the old place, the scenery was still as majestic, but it lacked the awe and wonder of their first encounter.

Lu Qing and his companions crossed the bridge and arrived at the massive platform in front of Qinglong City.

Many merchants and travelers were already waiting on the platform, but it wasn’t yet time for the gate to open, so they had to wait.

“The spiritual energy in Qinglong City is much richer than when we left, and it’s almost as rich as that in Zhongzhou.”

Lu Qing sensed it, noting that the spiritual energy had increased again.

By this calculation, the spiritual energy in the other provinces outside was probably also much richer.

This gave him some peace of mind.

Since the concentration of spiritual energy is centered in Zhongzhou and spreads to all corners of the world,

Jiuli Village is located in a remote area, so the changes should not be too great.

Relaxing, he began to survey the surrounding scenery.

Just then, a conversation not far away caught his attention.

“Have you heard? I heard something big’s happening in the Holy City this time!” someone suddenly said.

“Brother Zhao is so impressive, your business has even reached the Holy City?” another person exclaimed in amazement.

“How could I possibly be so capable? I heard this from a disciple of my sect.

It’s said that a few days ago, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Holy City, showering countless opportunities upon them.

It caused the warrior masters there to fight tooth and nail, and even many Xiantian Realm masters died!”

the voice at the beginning said.

“Many Xiantian Realm masters have died, how could such an incredible opportunity be possible?” everyone exclaimed in astonishment.

“I don’t know about that, but I heard that when the opportunity appeared, not only did a swirling cloud cover the sky and sun appear in the Holy City, but there was also thunder and lightning, and strange phenomena.”

“With such a strange phenomenon, the opportunity must be extraordinary. No wonder those warrior masters are vying for it so fiercely,” everyone exclaimed.

“It’s not just the Holy City that’s seeing strange phenomena. I’ve also heard that a white wolf, ten feet tall and incredibly handsome, has appeared in the north of Zhongzhou.

Not only can it command a pack of wolves, but it’s also incredibly powerful itself.

I heard the Guiyuan Sect’s warrior masters sent out numerous experts, but none of them could defeat it, and many were injured.

Now, the white wolf has fled deep into the mountains and can no longer be found!”

someone else said.

“A ten-foot-tall white wolf, wouldn’t it be able to devour a person in one bite?” someone exclaimed in shock.

“What’s a white wolf? I heard there’s even a white elephant in the south. They’re even more terrifying. With a flick of their trunk, they can shatter rocks as big as a hill!”

Hearing this, Lu Qing’s heart fluttered, and he looked in the direction of the conversation.
