I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 460

Chapter 460: The Spirit Pearl Induction, the Old Doctor Overcomes the Tribulation

It was already evening when Lu Qing returned home with Xiaoyan.

At night, a fiery red bead appeared in his hand.

It was the Fire Spirit Bead he had retrieved from the Hanshui Palace’s treasury.

The secret realm of the Hanshui Palace was dominated by cold energy.

This Fire Spirit Bead was hidden deep within the treasury, making it difficult to draw upon.

Therefore, by the time Lu Qing discovered it, its power had almost dissipated.

So, during his retreat within the underground spiritual veins of Changhen Mountain, Lu Qing had placed the Fire Spirit Bead within them to nurture it.

After six months of nurturing, the Fire Spirit Bead had absorbed sufficient spiritual energy and regained its former power.

Now, it was time to formally refine it.

Holding the Fire Spirit Bead in his hand, Lu Qing’s mind moved, and a wisp of his spiritual power immediately entered the Fire Spirit Bead, recognizing it as his master and refining it.

The refining process was remarkably smooth, and Lu Qing easily left his spiritual imprint within it.

Immediately, the Fire Spirit Bead transformed into a stream of light and flew towards his brow acupoint.

After entering the Acupoint between the eyebrows, the Fire Spirit Pearl immediately flew to the center of the acupoint space.

It initially intended to compete with the Earth Spirit Pearl for the central position, but soon, a wave emanated from the Earth Spirit Pearl.

Simultaneously, the shadowy image of a talisman emerged from the Earth Spirit Pearl.

The Fire Spirit Pearl trembled, ultimately obediently shrinking slightly, orbiting the Earth Spirit Pearl in a mysterious orbit.

Lu Qing simply watched this scene quietly, without interfering.

Spiritual objects like the Five Elements Spirit Pearl inherently possess spirituality.

Although he had refined it and recognized it as his master, he would not erase that spirituality.

A struggle for position like this should be left to resolve on its own.

It seemed that the Earth Spirit Pearl had the upper hand.

This was not surprising, however. The Earth Spirit Pearl had been with him the longest, nurtured to its greatest strength, and held the Divine Soul Talisman firmly within it.

The power of the Earth Element, renowned for its strength and stability, was tasked with stabilizing the acupoint space.

It was only natural that the Fire Spirit Pearl would be superior.

With the Fire Spirit Pearl yielding, it circled the Earth Spirit Pearl several times in a mysterious pattern.

A mysterious connection began to form between the two pearls.

At the same time, Lu Qing, the master, felt a strange sensation.

He paused, then carefully discerned it.

He soon discovered that the sensation was coming from several directions, all very far away.

The aura emanating from the source was remarkably similar to that of the Earth and Fire Spirit Pearls.

“So that’s how it is…”

A sudden realization struck Lu Qing.

“These auras are coming from the other pearls. If I gather two of these Five Elements Spirit Pearls, I can sense the location of the others.”

A hint of joy crossed Lu Qing’s face.

He had previously thought that collecting all five spirit pearls was hopeless. He

hadn’t expected these Five Elements Spirit Pearls to possess such a power.

Gathering two or more would allow him to sense the location of the others.

This would make gathering the five spirit beads much easier.

Delighted, Lu Qing immediately began sensing the vibrations of the other beads, hoping to pinpoint their locations.

After a while, a realization slowly dawned on Lu Qing.

“Of the three spirit beads, one seems to be in Zhongzhou, one in the far west, and the last one is in the east… in the ocean?”

As the locations of the three spirit beads were roughly determined, Lu Qing felt a wave of astonishment.

The two in Zhongzhou and the far west were fine; he was confident they shouldn’t be difficult to obtain.

But the eastern ocean wouldn’t be so easy.

He recalled the ocean presence he’d sensed over half a year ago when he’d taken Xiaoyan and the others to the seaside.

The vastness of the ocean had filled him with a sense of alarm.

It was conceivable that in those deep seas, where humanity had never ventured before, there must be something extraordinary.

“But there’s no rush. Let’s wait until Master has passed the tribulation and settled matters at the Holy Mountain, then we can slowly collect the remaining three spirit beads.”

Lu Qing had a hunch that once all five spirit beads were collected, they would be of immense benefit to him. It had been fine

before, as he didn’t know where the other spirit beads were, but now that he knew, he had to collect them all.

The day after Lu Qing returned, nothing happened.

The old doctor had been in seclusion, refining the two precious beads.

On the third day, however, Lin Zhirui, who had been traveling, rushed back.

He immediately visited Lu Qing and brought the three Holy Lords’ request, imploring him to gather at the Holy Mountain.

However, Lu Qing didn’t immediately agree, stating that Master’s tribulation was imminent and he couldn’t leave. Everything should wait until after

that. Naturally, Lin Zhirui had no objection.

He knew the old doctor’s place in Lu Qing’s heart, and he knew that Lu Qing must be there to protect the Dharma during such a significant event.

On the fourth day, early in the morning, while Lu Qing was cultivating, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

“Ah Qing, I’m going to prepare for the tribulation.”

Lu Qing shuddered, immediately stopped practicing, and went to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

“Master, you said I’m going to prepare for the tribulation?”

“Well, I’ve been refining the two pearls you gave me these past two days. They are indeed magical instruments of the treasure level.

As soon as I had it sacrificed and recognized as my master, gaining complete control,

the water and fire energies within the magic weapon cleansed my soul and body,

making them more stable and condensed. The flow of the water and fire energies within it benefited me immensely.

Once I had digested all those insights and integrated them into my own water and fire principles,

I naturally sensed the opportunity for a true breakthrough.

The old doctor’s face now glowed, and a harmonious and perfect aura emanated from him.

Lu Qing could sense that Master had truly reached the state of perfect foundation building,

and his foundation was incredibly deep.

The intensity of his aura alone was even comparable to that of Li Changbo, the Jindan realm master he had previously encountered.

He could even sense a faint wisp of tribulation energy looming above Master’s head.

This indicated the verge of transcending the tribulation, a point where a single thought could trigger a heavenly tribulation.

“Then, Master, when do you plan to transcend the tribulation?” Lu Qing asked.

“Right now.”

“Now? Better soon than late. Master, take this.” “

In Lu Qing’s hand, a crystal clear jade stone with a misty aura flowing inside appeared.

“A Qing, this is…”

The old doctor took the jade stone, and when he sensed the magnificent spiritual charm in it, his expression was shocked.

“This is a medium-grade spirit stone, which contains extremely pure spiritual energy, which can be directly absorbed and refined.

When you go through the tribulation later, it will allow you, the master, to recover your spiritual power at the fastest speed.”

Normally speaking, a low-grade spirit stone can support a strong man in the initial stage of the Golden Core to practice for a long time.

Even if the old doctor has a deep foundation, at most a low-grade spirit stone should be enough for him to go through the tribulation.

However, there are too many variables in the heavenly tribulation, and Lu Qing was worried, so he directly gave him a medium-grade spirit stone to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

“Spirit stone…”

The old doctor felt the spiritual charm in the spirit stone and realized that this should be another extraordinary spiritual object.

He didn’t refuse, putting away the mid-grade spirit stone. His confidence in surviving the tribulation grew even stronger.

Half an hour later, deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains,

in front of the peak where Lu Qing had previously survived the tribulation, now half-broken by the lightning tribulation.

“Master, are you sure you want to survive here?”

Lu Qing asked again.

He had been speechless the moment he heard his master’s choice of location.

“Master, there are so many peaks in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. There’s no need to choose a damaged one like this one, right?”

“This place is perfect. The destructive power of the heavenly tribulation is immense. There’s no need to choose another one to wreak havoc.

Besides, Ah Qing, you successfully survived the tribulation here. It’s a good opportunity for me to share in your joy,”

the old doctor chuckled.

Lu Qing: …

Well, that certainly seems like Master’s idea. To avoid destroying another peak, even a battered one wouldn’t matter.

“Grandpa Chen, you will definitely survive the tribulation!”

Xiaoyan, standing beside him, pumped her fist in encouragement to the old doctor.

“Ouch!”

Even Xiao Li, in a rare move, called out to the old doctor.

While the little creature could telepathically transmit messages, it had never demonstrated this ability to anyone besides Lu Qing and Xiao Yan.

Seeing Xiao Li’s silence, Wu Xing froze for a moment before rubbing his head against the old doctor’s hand.

“Alright, Grandpa Chen will definitely succeed in overcoming the tribulation!”

Seeing the three little creatures cheering him on, the old doctor laughed heartily, a rare surge of pride rising from his heart.

Then, a cloud of air appeared beneath his feet, slowly carrying him toward the mountain where Lu Qing had previously overcome the tribulation.

Lu Qing, along with Xiao Yan and the other little creatures, retreated slightly to the summit of another mountain, ready to protect their master.

As soon as they landed, they heard a rumbling sound, and a powerful and immense pressure materialized from nowhere.

Above the sky, the wind and clouds suddenly shifted, and a massive vortex of tribulation clouds slowly emerged.

“Senior Chen is about to begin his tribulation.”

Dozens of miles from where the old doctor was undergoing his tribulation, Wei Shanhai and Wei Xinghe, along with Lin Zhirui, Wei Zi’an, Ma Gu, and others, also stood atop a mountain, gazing at the swirling tribulation clouds emerging ahead.

The heavenly tribulation was formidable, and without Lu Qing’s abilities, they naturally dared not get too close.

“I didn’t expect Senior Chen to be undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation so soon! His cultivation speed is truly swift.”

A sigh of admiration crossed Wei Xinghe’s face.

He first learned of the old doctor when his youngest son, Wei Zi’an, went mischievous in the mountains, searching for a birthday gift. He

accidentally fell off a cliff, sustaining severe injuries and being sent to the old doctor for treatment.

He had heard Ah Hai say that the old doctor was a powerful Neigu realm cultivator, and that his disciples were also warriors.

Thus, he remembered this figure.

However, at the time, he still didn’t pay much attention to it, and he never imagined that his family would have any further interactions with this master and disciple.

However, he never imagined that when the Tiancang Sect attacked, his Wei family would face annihilation.

In their most desperate moments, they were saved by this master-disciple duo.

From then on, a deep friendship was forged.

Under Lu Qing’s protection, the Wei family was largely unaffected by the outside world’s conflicts.

Now, in just a few years, not only had Lu Qing become a world-renowned Jindan realm expert,

but even the old doctor was about to begin his journey through the tribulation and achieve the Jindan stage.

“Yes, this cultivation speed is truly astonishingly fast,”

Wei Shanhai’s face also reflected a sigh of admiration.

He remembered that when he first met the old doctor, he was only at the beginning of the Xiantian realm, slightly inferior to him.

Unexpectedly, just a few years later, the old doctor was already on the verge of achieving the Jindan stage through the tribulation.

Meanwhile, he had barely entered the Xiantian Perfection realm, still a long way from the Foundation Establishment stage, and had yet to sense the slightest sign of a breakthrough.

This was due to the fact that he had spent the past two years living in Jiuli Village, cultivating in the rich spiritual energy there.

Otherwise, he’d probably only be at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm at best, even Xiaoyan wouldn’t be able to match him.

Thinking of this, Wei Shanhai felt the gap even more acutely.

Lin Zhirui, standing by, remained silent.

However, his inner turmoil was no less intense than Wei Shanhai and the others.

Compared to the Wei family, he knew the old doctor and his group best.

Yet, he was still astounded by the old doctor’s rapid cultivation.

Lu Qing aside, he was the first person to undergo the tribulation after the transformation of heaven and earth and the resurgence of spiritual energy, and he was able to trigger the heavenly tribulation while entering the Innate Realm.

Such a peerless prodigy was destined for brilliance.

So, while his rapid advancement to the Golden Core Realm was unbelievable, it was still understandable.

But what about the old doctor?

Before the revival of heaven and earth, he was merely a wandering healer with some accomplishments. He was largely unknown, not only in the world, but even in Cangzhou.

Even after the revival, he remained detached from competition, always maintaining a peaceful and kind demeanor.

It was only during his time in Zhongzhou that he displayed a hint of his brilliance.

After returning from Zhongzhou, he subdued his charisma and

quietly cultivated in Jiuli Village. His occasional outings were to treat the surrounding villagers.

He rarely displayed his cultivation skills.

Unexpectedly, he had quietly reached the stage of inducing a heavenly tribulation, on the verge of achieving the Golden Core.

Furthermore, judging by the vast vortex of tribulation clouds ahead and the overwhelming, suffocating divine might,

Lin Zhirui knew the old doctor’s tribulation was likely extraordinary, no ordinary Golden Core tribulation.

“I wonder what color the tribulation clouds Master has summoned?”

Lu Qing wondered, observing the vortex of tribulation clouds in the sky.

Master’s foundation was profound, and

his cultivation of the principles of water and fire was also exceptional.

The tribulation clouds he summoned would surely not be ordinary gray.

It was unknown whether they would ultimately be red or golden.

The tribulation clouds continued to brew, slowly gathering with time.

Beneath the vortex of tribulation clouds, the old doctor constantly adjusted his body and mind, maintaining peak condition.

“Is this the might of a heavenly tribulation?”

the old doctor wondered, sensing the overwhelming divine might descending from the sky.

Back in Zhongzhou, he had witnessed Lu Qing’s tribulation and

had sensed its terrifying power even then.

However, only now, when he was truly facing the might of heaven, did he finally understand.

The might of heaven he had felt while observing from the sidelines was not even one-tenth of what the person undergoing the tribulation felt.

“Ah Qing said that the Golden Core Tribulation is also divided into several levels. I wonder what my tribulation will look like.”

The old doctor quietly observed the swirling tribulation clouds in the sky, his eyes calm.

Finally, he saw that as the clouds continued to gather and brew, the tribulation clouds officially took shape, and lightning began to flash.

The color of the tribulation clouds was a faint golden color!
