I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Xuanming Black Jade, someone behind it

“Junior Sister Xiaoyan, is this evil cultivator dead?”

Mu Tian asked, looking at the fallen figure in front of him.

While the death energy attack unleashed by the evil cultivator had been powerful, they, being near Lu Qing, naturally took no damage.

“He should be dead,”

Xiaoyan said uncertainly.

From her perception, the evil cultivator’s aura had vanished, leaving no trace of life.

But her brother had said that one shouldn’t completely trust one’s spiritual senses. Even when facing an enemy, even if they showed no signs of life, one should never be complacent.

Furthermore, this evil cultivator was clearly skilled in corpse refining, making her even more uncertain.

Xiaoyan couldn’t help but glance at her brother.

Lu Qing smiled faintly. “Since you can’t be sure, then what did my brother teach you?”

Xiaoyan thought for a moment, then suddenly understood.

She then pulled a fiery red talisman from her storage artifact.

Conveying her mind, she suddenly heard a dragon’s roar.

A fiery dragon flew out, hurtling towards the fallen evil cultivator.

Boom!

The fire dragon’s power was immense, comparable to a full-strength attack from a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

The blade landed on the evil cultivator’s corpse, instantly incinerating it at a speed almost imperceptible to the n*ked eye.

Soon, only a pile of dust remained, with a few pitch-black magical instruments still lying in their place.

Throughout this entire process, the evil cultivator hadn’t moved a muscle.

“Brother, he’s dead,”

Xiaoyan reported to Lu Qing.

“…”

Mu Tian and the others watched the scene in silence.

When Lu Qing had just spoken, they had assumed he’d taught Xiaoyan some secret method for determining whether an enemy was still alive.

They hadn’t expected such a straightforward method.

This, however, confirmed the truth for everyone.

The evil cultivator was as dead as dead could be.

“Yes,” Lu Qing nodded.

He could certainly confirm whether the evil cultivator was truly dead.

But Xiaoyan still had to be cautious.

It seemed Xiaoyan had truly taken his previous teachings to heart.

“Not bad, it seems you’ve already grasped the essence of Master’s swordsmanship,” Lu Qing exclaimed.

Xiaoyan had just displayed her flying sword technique with unwavering control, combining it with her icy spiritual power.

She easily dispatched a Foundation Establishment Realm foe.

This performance left him quite satisfied.

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

When Xiaoyan had achieved success in her cultivation, reaching the perfection of the Innate Realm,

Lu Qing had asked her what combat technique she wished to specialize in. Surprisingly,

the young woman’s greatest desire was sword flying.

Consequently, Lu Qing had specially refined a top-grade, treasure-level flying sword for Xiaoyan to cultivate.

Over the years, she had been training with her master in Jiuli Village,

and it seemed she had made considerable progress.

However, Xiaoyan had not used her natal flying sword in this fight.

She had only activated her usual sword.

Otherwise, with the power of the flying sword Lu Qing had painstakingly crafted,

even a Jindan Realm cultivator would have suffered a heavy loss if not carefully considered.

“Hehe, brother, Xiaoyan hasn’t slacked off in her training, has she?”

Xiaoyan beamed at her brother’s praise, just like the little girl who had always been by Lu Qing’s side.

“Well, you’ve passed. I’ll give you a reward later.” Lu Qing smiled.

“Really?”

Xiaoyan’s surprise was even greater upon hearing this.

Mu Tian and the others, who were nearby, overhearing the siblings’ conversation, understood.

As expected, Xiaoyan had a remarkable mentor.

They just didn’t know which powerful sect she came from. Could it be one of those legendary secret sites?

Mu Tian and the others pondered this and realized that none of the world’s leading sects seemed to possess a disciple as exceptional as Xiaoyan.

After all, Xiaoyan had just slain a demonic cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.

And most importantly, she was still so young.

With such talent, even the talented disciples of Zhongzhou’s top sects would be far superior.

Their only thought was the long-held, secretive Three Secret Sites.

Even the Holy Mountain had never heard of such a gifted disciple.

As they speculated, Lu Qing stepped forward and gathered up the several black magical instruments left behind after the demonic cultivator had been incinerated.

Under the burning of the talisman fire dragon cast by Xiaoyan, most of these evil magic tools suffered varying degrees of damage, and their power was greatly reduced.

The only one that remained intact was a black jade pendant.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing looked at the jade pendant and let out a light exclamation.

In his perception, the refining method of this jade pendant was quite sophisticated, and it was not something that a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm could refine.

Moreover, the aura within it did not have that “ancient” connotation.

It was obvious that this was a magic tool refined in recent years, not a treasure left over from ancient times.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” Xiaoyan asked.

“Nothing.”

Lu Qing shook his head, continued to look at the black jade pendant, and quietly activated his supernatural power.

Soon, a faint golden supernatural light emerged from the jade pendant.

Several pieces of information floated out.

[Xuanming Jade Pendant: A top-grade magic tool refined from Xuanming black jade.

Xuanming Black Jade: A rare and precious jade found deep underground in a place thick with deathly aura.

This jade pendant was crafted by a certain evil cultivator at the Jindan realm. It has the power to calm the mind and suppress inner demons. …

“

So it’s the Xuanming Black Jade,”

Lu Qing understood after reading several messages.

The Xuanming Black Jade was also mentioned in the legacy left by the Lihuo Sect.

This type of black jade is only found in desolate places.

It is a rare gem nurtured by countless years of deathly aura. It

has the unique power to clear the mind and suppress inner demons.

For cultivators, it is an extremely rare treasure for calming the mind. This is

especially true for those cultivating the evil and demonic ways, who crave such a precious jade.

Because evil and demonic cultivators, due to the limitations of their cultivation methods, are prone to inner demons.

For them, the Xuanming Black Jade, a jade imbued with the spirit of death and capable of calming the mind, is simply the most precious treasure.

Even an evil cultivator at the Yuanshen realm would be tempted by the sight of the ultimate Xuanming Black Jade.

However, the Xuanming Jade Pendant in Lu Qing’s hand was made from the most basic, low-grade Xuanming Black Jade.

Its ability to calm the mind and spirit wasn’t particularly strong, and could only work on cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm at best.

It would have virtually no effect on a cultivator at Lu Qing’s level.

However, what Lu Qing cared about with the jade pendant wasn’t these things.

Instead, it was another piece of information revealed in the note just now.

“Made by some evil cultivator at the Jindan realm? Sure enough, there must be someone else behind this…”

Lu Qing looked at the black jade pendant in his hand, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
