I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Secret Realm Closed, Visit

“Five Elements, come and catch me!”

By the river, Xiaoyan giggled, stomping her feet, leaving a trail of afterimages as she circled around several old trees.

Behind her, Five Elements, the multicolored winged snake, had shrunk to the size of an arm, chasing after her at an equally fast pace.

For a moment, the trees were filled with the figures of Xiaoyan and Five Elements, creating a dazzling spectacle.

A martial arts expert observing this scene would likely be stunned.

Such exquisite agility, even in a little girl, was simply incredible.

Compared to the bustle over there, Lu Qing’s place was much quieter.

He sat by the river, a fishing rod in front of him, leisurely casting his line.

Xiaoli sat beside him, his gaze fixed intently on the float.

Seeing this, Lu Qing couldn’t help but smile. “Xiaoli, with your current level of cultivation, catching fish wouldn’t be easy. Why are you still watching me fishing?”

Hearing this, Xiaoli glanced at the shimmering river.

Disdain was evident in his eyes. “Water, disgusting!”

Lu Qing laughed even harder and shook his head.

Xiao Li was now a spirit beast in the Foundation Establishment stage, and had recently refined the spirit fruit he had given him not long ago.

His cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and he was not far from perfecting it.

So, cultivating a spirit beast was actually quite simple; often, simply eating and drinking could boost their strength.

However, even for a powerful spirit beast at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, possessing supernatural powers,

Xiao Li still refused to go fishing in the river.

His aversion to water was ingrained in his bones.

So whenever Lu Qing came fishing, Xiao Li was always the happiest, because he could enjoy the freshest fish.

Plus, he had been so busy with his training lately that he had little time for fishing.

This time, Xiao Li naturally stayed put, unwilling to even move.

As he spoke, Lu Qing felt the float move, then suddenly sink.

The next moment, he had already raised his rod, and a beautiful fish, swimming in a beautiful arc, was lifted into the air.

With Lu Qing’s current power, catching a simple spirit fish wouldn’t require any elaborate rod-spinning techniques.

Once a fish takes the bait, simply pull up the rod.

Furthermore, his current rod is truly extraordinary.

He recently discovered, while in the bamboo forest behind the mountain, that some bamboos, nourished by spiritual energy, have begun to transform, gaining a new aura, showing signs of becoming spiritual objects.

He selected the best of them and crafted a new fishing rod,

infusing it with several layers of restraints.

The rod he now holds is more than just a fishing rod; it’s a true magical instrument.

And its grade is not low, reaching the level of a top-grade magical instrument.

A top-grade magical instrument-level fishing rod can withstand extraordinary strain.

At full power, it could easily pull not just a small spirit fish, but even a small mountain.

Of course, fishing is enjoyable, and Lu Qing went fishing to relax, so he naturally wouldn’t do anything that would spoil the fun.

He didn’t even use his spiritual power to explore the river to find out what kind of fish there were.

What you catch depends entirely on fate.

Therefore, he was somewhat surprised to see the red carp struggling on the hook.

“It’s a Red Moon Carp.”

Speaking of which, it had been a while since he’d caught one.

After removing the Red Moon Carp and weighing it, Lu Qing tossed it to Xiao Li, who was already eyeing it eagerly.

Before the spirit fish even touched the ground, Xiao Li leaped up, firmly grasped it, and began devouring it right there.

With each bite, his eyes narrowed, a look of satisfaction and happiness on his face.

Although he also ate cooked food, his favorite thing was this fresh spirit fish.

Seeing it happily feasting, Lu Qing smiled, re-baited, and continued fishing.

This time, the hook had barely been lowered when fish started biting again.

With a brilliant set of strokes, Lu Qing landed another Red Moon Carp.

Over the next few minutes, Lu Qing cast again and again.

After half an hour, he had landed seven or eight spirit fish in a row.

Besides the common red moon carp, there were also golden loaches and a spirit fish he had never seen before.

After catching another red moon carp, Lu Qing paused, a thoughtful look on his face. He gazed at the river, unleashing his spiritual power.   Suddenly, everything in the river reflected in his mind. Then, he

sensed a wisp of spiritual energy emanating   from the surrounding ten-mile stretch of river. There were surprisingly   many spirit fish in the river.   ”It seems that with the growing concentration of spiritual energy, the changes in all things in heaven and earth are finally becoming apparent.”   Lu Qing sensed the aura of the spirit fish swimming in the river, and a realization dawned on him.   The shifting laws of heaven and earth, the resurgence of spiritual energy, brought about comprehensive changes in the world.   The poisonous insects and snakes in the Shiwan Mountains had increased in venom and ferocity.   Similarly, the spirit fish in this small river, originating from the Shiwan Mountains, had also increased in number.   ”It seems Xiaoli will never have to worry about a shortage of spirit fish to eat.”   Lu Qing smiled, but put away his fishing rod.

今日钓到的灵鱼已经够多了。

不但小离能吃饱，就连他们的晚餐也有了着落。

“小妍，五行，别玩了，回去啦！”

提着鱼桶，陆青喊道。

至于小离，已经站在他肩膀上，开始舔爪洗脸起来。

一连吃了三条红月鲤的它，这下可真的是吃得舒坦了。

“哥哥，钓到鱼了吗？”

小妍小跑过来，脸上红扑扑的。

虽然她如今也已经达到先天境小成的境界，但连续施展先天级的身法，灵力消耗还是颇大的。

至于五彩翼蛇，则跟在她的身后。

有些羡慕地看着站在陆青肩膀上地小离。

它也想和主人这么亲近。

但是它知道，小离霸道得很，要是它敢太靠近的话，绝对会被揍得。

被揍倒还好，反正它皮糙肉厚的，小离也打不疼它。

但是它知道，要是自己真的和小离打起来，主人绝对是站在那只狸猫那边的。

This was the lesson the Five-Colored Winged Snake had learned after several painful experiences during this period.

“Of course I caught it.”

Lu Qing, oblivious to the Five-Colored Winged Snake’s subtle movements, showed Xiaoyan the fish bucket.

“So many spiritual fish! They’re Red Moon Carp and Golden Loach!”

Xiaoyan’s eyes widened when she saw the fish in the bucket.

“It’s rare to catch so many spiritual fish. How about we make fish soup tonight?” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“Okay!” Xiaoyan nodded vigorously.

The fish soup made from Red Moon Carp is incredibly delicious.

Thinking about it now makes her mouth water.

The brother and sister, along with their two spirit beasts, happily walked toward the village.

As soon as they returned home, Grandpa Zhang, who lived next door, came over.

“Ah Qing, just back from fishing?”

“Yes, I caught quite a few spirit fish and am planning to cook

them tonight. Grandpa Zhang, please come over too,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “Haha, my eyes are blurry now, so I can’t pick out the fish bones anymore. You guys should eat

them,” Grandpa Zhang chuckled. “Don’t worry, Grandpa Zhang. Xiaoyan can help you pick out the bones!

” Xiaoyan said immediately. “Xiaoyan is so good,” Grandpa Zhang patted the little girl’s head.

Then

, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. Lu Qing noticed this and asked, “Grandpa Zhang, are you in trouble?”

Seeing that Lu Qing had noticed something, Grandpa Zhang hesitated for a moment, then let go.

“Ah Qing, yesterday, the elders in the village gathered together and discussed for a while. We have something to ask of you.”

“What is it?” Lu Qing asked.

“It’s just that some young men in the village, after witnessing your divine power before, want to learn some skills from you, Ah Qing. I’m wondering if that’s possible

.” Lu Qing was stunned, not expecting this to be what Grandpa Zhang was talking about.

For a moment, he paused.

Seeing this, Grandpa Zhang quickly said, “Ah Qing, I know you’re now one of the immortals. As they say in the opera, the teachings of immortals shouldn’t be passed on lightly. If you’re not comfortable, don’t worry. I’ll go back and tell them.”

“Grandpa Zhang misunderstood.” Lu Qing came to his senses and smiled. “It’s not a question of convenience.

The path of cultivation isn’t just about having the intention; it also requires understanding and aptitude.

Otherwise, even if you possess the true method, it’ll be difficult to begin and embark on the path of cultivation.”

Lu Qing didn’t resent the villagers’ thoughts; instead, he understood them.

After all, who wouldn’t yearn for the skills of an immortal?

If he were in their shoes, seeing someone displaying immortal techniques would undoubtedly inspire him to cultivate.

However, cultivation isn’t just about having the intention.

Without any one of these—aptitude, understanding, perseverance, and concentration—one cannot achieve much in cultivation, and might even be unable to even begin.

At least when it comes to cultivating immortals, based on his understanding of the young people in the village, he hasn’t yet identified any with significant potential.

“Is that so…”

Grandpa Zhang sounded disappointed.

He understood Lu Qing’s implication that none of the young people in the village seemed to possess the potential to cultivate immortality.

Seeing the disappointment on the old man’s face, Lu Qing pondered for a moment and said, “But nothing is absolute. Everything has its own glimmer of opportunity.

So, Grandpa Zhang, go back and discuss with everyone and see if anyone wants to cultivate.

Have them gather at my place tomorrow, and I’ll give them a chance.”

“Really?” Grandpa Zhang’s face lit up with surprise.

“Of course,” Lu Qing nodded.

“Okay, I’ll go back and tell them now!”

A faint smile crossed his face as he watched Grandpa Zhang hurried away.

As a member of the village, he naturally hoped for the continued success of Jiuli Village.

If the village could truly produce one or two individuals with a natural talent for cultivating immortals, it would be a boon for the village.

Now that spiritual energy has fully revived, the world will be dominated by immortals for tens of thousands of years to come.

If Jiuli Village wants to survive in this era, it can’t remain solely under his protection.

After all, he doesn’t know if he will remain in this world forever.

If Jiuli Village can have its own cultivators,

then if he ever leaves this world, there will be someone to continue protecting the village and ensure its survival.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing had a plan in mind.

As he pondered this, a sudden wave of energy emanated from the depths of the Shiwan Mountains, then gradually faded away.

Lu Qing was startled, then transformed into a stream of light and flew into the mountains.

Soon, he arrived at the valley where the entrance to the secret realm lay. He

saw the black vortex leading to the secret realm gradually shrinking.

“Is the entrance to the Five Elements Secret Realm finally closing?”

Lu Qing observed the shrinking black vortex, but did nothing.

The opening and closing of secret realms is a normal phenomenon in this world.

Unless someone, like the other four secret places, is willing to completely integrate a spiritual artifact into the secret realm, it would be possible to prevent the secret realm from closing.

However, the several spiritual artifacts Lu Qing currently possesses are of great use to him.

Naturally, he cannot integrate them into the secret realm.

After all, the greatest opportunities within the Five Elements Secret Realm have already been taken by him.

Most of the other spiritual herbs and spiritual objects have also been plundered by the martial arts masters who entered later.

Later, many of these masters were slain by the white-robed youth, and the spiritual objects they obtained were also confiscated, ultimately falling into Lu Qing’s hands.

It can be said that the value of the Five Elements Secret Realm has now greatly diminished, making it unworthy of him to waste a spiritual artifact.

Seeing the black vortex finally disappear completely, and the valley completely calmed down,

the spatial fluctuations that had been lingering for a long time completely dissipated,

Lu Qing felt a sense of regret.

This Five Elements Secret Realm has brought him great opportunities.

Without the Five Elements Spiritual Fluid obtained from the secret realm, he would not have been able to reach the Golden Core Realm so quickly.

It’s even more likely that, lacking such a strong foundation, he missed the opportunity to achieve the perfect golden elixir.

He also gained a top-grade spiritual medicine and a spiritual beast of incredible potential.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this Five Elements Secret Realm is his greatest blessing.

It’s just that after its closure, there’s no telling when it will reappear.

After a moment of reflection, Lu Qing glanced into the depths of the valley with a half-smile, then transformed into a stream of light and departed.

After waiting for his figure to completely disappear, a few people emerged tremblingly from a dark corner of the valley,

their eyes filled with the look of having survived a catastrophe.

“Who on earth is this young man? He exudes such a terrifying aura, and he can even fly!”

“Whoever he is, we absolutely cannot afford to provoke him!”

“I was thinking, with all the quiet in the Hundred Thousand Mountains lately, I’d take the opportunity to reenter this secret realm and find a spiritual herb or two.

I didn’t expect it to be closed just after we arrived, and to encounter such a terrifying being. What bad luck!”

“No, it’s fortunate we arrived a little late. If we had arrived earlier, we’d probably be trapped to death in the secret realm.”

“Stop talking, let’s go! I have a feeling that the person just now has discovered us. If they turn back, we’ll die without knowing how.”

As soon as these last words were uttered, the others shuddered, daring no longer to continue chatting. They hurried out of the valley and fled in another direction.

Lu Qing had naturally noticed the people hiding in the valley,

but now he no longer cared about the Innate Realm cultivators.

Since they hadn’t provoked him, he naturally ignored them.

I flew all the way back to the village and just as I landed at home, someone came to visit again.

This time, it was Lin Zhirui.

And he brought two other people with him.
