I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 488

Chapter 488 Successful Transaction, Reunion

Three jade bottles slowly ascended and floated before Lu Qing.

Lu Qing took them and opened one, sensing the surging energy and rich aura of life within. He nodded slightly.

After a brief examination, he placed the bottle in his Qiankun Yiqi bag and ejected another jade slip, which fell towards the old dragon turtle.

“Senior Dragon Turtle, this contains a complete star map of the region of the starry sky we are in.

With the guidance of this star map, if you wish to venture into the starry sky in the future, you should not be lost.”

The old dragon turtle caught the jade slip and examined it with his mind. He saw a star map within, far more complete and complex than the previous one, and was delighted.

But once he saw the map’s contents clearly, he was shocked.

“Our world is so far away from the next world of life?”

In the star map Lu Qing had given him, the faint light representing their world

was not only at the very edge of the map, but also surrounded by a vast expanse of dark nothingness.

It seemed as if their world was isolated and utterly tethered within the starry sky.

“Indeed, our world is located at the edge of the starry sky, immensely distant from other worlds of life,”

Lu Qing nodded upon hearing the old dragon turtle’s exclamation.

“No wonder, in the last era of immortal cultivation, those who ventured too far into the starry sky either returned empty-handed or lost themselves in the galaxy.”

After examining the entire star map, the old dragon turtle felt a sense of relief.

Condensing three portions of True Blood was no easy task.

Even with a body at the level of a Soul Realm, it would inevitably suffer a period of weakness after condensing three portions of True Blood.

It was precisely because spiritual energy had only been revived for over a decade that no sea creatures capable of threatening it had yet emerged from the deep sea.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to agree to Lu Qing’s request.

Initially, it felt a little sorry for losing its three portions of True Blood.

But now, it saw that it hadn’t suffered a loss in this deal.

After all, for it, if it wanted to advance further after recovering its cultivation, remaining in this world would be impossible.

But according to the star map Lu Qing had provided, if it had ventured into the starry sky without its guidance, it would likely have ended up like the pioneers of the previous era of immortal cultivation:

either returning empty-handed or lost in the starry sky.

There was no chance of finding the next world of life.

Understanding this, the old dragon turtle felt a sudden sense of peace.

This star map was extremely useful to it, and the sacrifice of several portions of true blood that could be restored later was completely worth it.

“Senior Dragon Turtle, I hope you didn’t suffer a loss in this transaction?” Lu Qing asked with a smile.

Lu Qing was well aware of the value of the star map.

To the outside world, a star map might be of little value and could be purchased at will.

But for cultivators in their own world, a star map was a guiding light, its value far greater than anything else.

“Indeed, this star map is of great value,” the old dragon turtle did not deny.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave.”

Seeing the old dragon turtle satisfied with the deal, Lu Qing felt relieved.

After bidding farewell to the old dragon turtle, Lu Qing did not return to the Holy Mountain, but instead headed north, entering the northern territory.

“The Five Elements say Xiaoyan and the others are in a small state called Linzhou?”

After entering the northern border, Lu Qing immersed his mind in the acupoint between his eyebrows, sensing the location of the Five-Colored Winged Snake.

The Five-Colored Winged Snake was his enslaved spirit beast, and as long as the distance was not too far, he could sense its location.

“Over there.”

Lu Qing quickly sensed the Five-Colored Winged Snake’s location through the Soul Slave Mark and immediately flew towards it.

“Are they in the inn?”

When Lu Qing arrived at the location of the Five-Colored Winged Snake, he found it was a small city. The Five Elements’ aura was inside a building that looked like an inn.

At the same time, he also sensed the auras of Xiaoyan and Xiaoli, who were in the same location.

Near them, there were several auras, the weakest of which had reached the Innate Minor Success stage.

He thought they must be the companions Xiaoyan mentioned in the message.

“The little girl is quite diligent,”

Lu Qing observed from the sky.

He discovered that Xiaoyan lived in a separate courtyard. A subtle surge of spiritual energy swirled around the courtyard, and the little girl was cultivating in her room.

He slowly descended, his face changing, his muscles slightly adjusting, until his appearance only vaguely resembled his original form.

During his descent, no one could detect Lu Qing’s whereabouts.

Only after landing in the courtyard did he remove his spell, revealing a hint of presence.

Xiaoli and Wuxing, who were inside, sensed this presence and immediately jumped out.

Upon seeing Lu Qing in the courtyard, they all cried out in surprise.

“Ah Qing!”

“Master!”

They all rushed forward.

One perched on Lu Qing’s shoulder, rubbing his head fiercely.

Another circled around him, occasionally nudging his trouser leg.

“Xiaoli, Wuxing, what happened?”

At that moment, a crisp voice echoed from the room.

Then, a beautiful girl with skin as white as ice and an elf-like demeanor emerged from the house.

Seeing Lu Qing comforting Xiao Li and Wu Xing in the courtyard, she was stunned for a moment.

Then, a look of disbelief slowly crossed her face: “Brother?”

“How come you don’t even recognize me after just a year?” Lu Qing jokingly asked.

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Yan was finally certain it was truly her brother.

Surprise crossed her face, and she immediately leaped forward: “Brother, it’s really you!”

Xiao Yan, now a powerful cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, leaped forward, employing her acrobatics.

In an instant, she was in front of Lu Qing, hugging him and burying her head in his arms.

Lu Qing felt the girl’s slightly trembling shoulders, and a flicker of guilt crossed his heart.

His hand gently touched the long black hair, soothing his sister.

“Okay, you’re already a grown-up girl, why are you still crying so easily?”

“Brother, why did you take so long to visit Xiaoyan?”

the little girl asked sullenly, burying her head in Lu Qing’s arms, unwilling to get up.

A hint of sob lingered in her voice.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve finished my retreat and will have a lot of time with Xiaoyan from now on.”

“Is that true?”

Xiaoyan immediately looked up, her eyes filled with surprise.

Seeing the tears on her face, Lu Qing reached out and wiped them away.

He smiled, “Of course it’s true, and your cultivation has greatly improved. Even if I go into retreat again in the future, I can take you with me.” He

hadn’t taken Xiaoyan to the Holy Mountain before because her cultivation was still relatively shallow.

The pressure in his retreat was too great, not suitable for the little girl to stay there for long.

But now that she was a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, she could definitely hone her skills at the Holy Mountain.

Hearing Lu Qing’s assurance, Xiaoyan’s smile grew even brighter.

She was about to say something when a furious shout suddenly rang out.

“Thief, let go of Xiaoyan!”

Along with this angry shout, there was also a sharp sword energy, stabbing towards Lu Qing!
