I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 508

Chapter 508: An old friend visits and gives advice

Lu Qing headed down the mountain, but not to the three Holy Lords, but back to his own cave.

Although he and Han Lingshuang were old acquaintances, since they were visiting the three Holy Lords, there was no need for him to join in the fun.

“Brother, are you out of retreat?”

Xiaoyan emerged from her meditation room upon returning to the cave.

It turned out her cultivation had also come to a close.

“Yes, I just finished, so I went out for a walk.”

Lu Qing sensed Xiaoyan’s aura and smiled. “Breakthrough?”

“Yes, brother, I have. I’ve now completed my foundation!” Xiaoyan said happily.

“Excellent! Keep working hard and strive to overcome the tribulation and reach the Golden Core Realm soon,” Lu Qing encouraged.

He wasn’t surprised, however.

Xiaoyan’s cultivation talent was already exceptional.

However, Lu Qing had always intended for her to focus on honing her foundation, not rushing her to improve her cultivation.

This had resulted in the little girl’s foundation being exceptionally solid and profound.

Now cultivating in a blessed place like the Holy Mountain, she naturally found her comfort and progressed rapidly.

“Yes, I will!” Xiaoyan clenched her fists, a look of determination on her face.

Although the little girl hadn’t said it a while ago, Xiaoli and Wuxing’s tribulations had in fact somewhat irritated her.

After all, among so many family members, she was the only one who hadn’t yet achieved the Golden Core stage.

Fortunately, she had now completed her Foundation Establishment and was not far from the Golden Core stage.

“Brother, I’m going to continue my retreat!”

With this thought, Xiaoyan’s enthusiasm for cultivation rekindled, and she prepared to return to her quiet room to practice.

But Lu Qing stopped her.

“Don’t rush into retreat yet. The true way of cultivation is to balance relaxation and tension.

Blindly practicing in seclusion, with your mind tense, will only yield half the results.

You’ve just achieved a breakthrough today, so relax and don’t rush into cultivation.

It’s a good idea. An old friend might come visit us later. Join me in welcoming her.”

“Old friend? Brother, who is it?” Xiaoyan was puzzled.

In her mind, there weren’t many who could truly be called old friends.

And even fewer who were qualified to come to the Holy Mountain.

So for a moment, she had no idea who it was.

“You’ll find out in a moment,”

Lu Qing said, keeping it a secret.

He had already sensed someone approaching the cave.

Soon, while Xiaoyan was still perplexed, the First Saint Lord’s voice echoed from outside.

“Little Daoist Lu, are you in the cave?”

“Come on, Xiaoyan. An old friend has arrived. You’ll be delighted to see her.”

Lu Qing led Xiaoyan outside. “I

‘m so delighted to have an old friend visit. Palace Master Han, long time no see.”

“Sister Lingshuang!”

At this moment, Xiaoyan also saw Han Lingshuang. A look of surprise crossed her face, and she trotted over.

“So, it’s you, brother!”

“Uh…” Han Lingshuang, who was about to greet him, froze for a moment, then looked at Lu Qing. “Does the Supreme Lord know I’m in the Holy Mountain?”

“I was just taking a walk on the mountaintop when I saw the Palace Master approaching,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“So that’s how it is,” Han Lingshuang suddenly realized.

At the same time, she felt even more unfathomable about Lu Qing’s strength.

She hadn’t felt Lu Qing’s presence at all before.

As expected, even after entering the Golden Core Realm, the gap in strength between her and the Supreme Lord remained unimaginably vast.

“Congratulations, Palace Master, on surviving the Heavenly Tribulation and achieving a mid-grade Golden Core.”

Lu Qing sensed Han Lingshuang’s aura, somewhat surprised.

Judging from her occasional fluctuations, Han Lingshuang had clearly only recently passed the tribulation.

Therefore, she still lacked perfect control over her own power.

However, her aura was powerful, comparable to that of the three Saint Lords.

“As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Supreme Lord.” Han Lingshuang smiled brightly.

“Since receiving the Supreme Lord’s guidance, Lingshuang has diligently cultivated and honed her foundation. Half a month ago, she finally succeeded in passing the tribulation and, by some chance, condensed a mid-grade Golden Core.”

After the Holy Meeting ten years ago, Han Lingshuang had sought an audience with Lu Qing at the Holy Mountain, ultimately receiving his guidance.

Understanding the impact of her Golden Core grade on her future path,

Han Lingshuang, who could have easily passed the tribulation and achieved a breakthrough, ultimately suppressed her desire.

She spent an extra ten years honing her foundation.

Finally, half a month ago, she triggered a red tribulation cloud, successfully transcended it, and condensed a mid-grade mana golden elixir.

Excited by this, she only briefly consolidated her cultivation, not yet fully mastering the power of the golden elixir realm, before coming to the Holy Mountain, wanting Lu Qing to witness her achievements and

show him that she had lived up to his guidance.

“Mid-grade golden elixir!”

Upon hearing this, the three Holy Lords looked at Han Lingshuang in shock.

They had sensed her exceptionally powerful aura upon meeting her earlier,

even hinting at a power that could rival theirs.

They had assumed it was due to Han Lingshuang cultivating some powerful technique. After all, Hanshui Palace was a secret place passed down from a previous era of immortal cultivation.

Its profound heritage was hidden from outsiders, so it was natural for it to inherit some profound techniques.

They hadn’t anticipated the fact that Han Lingshuang had condensed a mid-grade golden elixir.

For a moment, the three Holy Lords were filled with envy.

Having also received Lu Qing’s guidance, they understood the importance of the golden elixir’s quality.

The mid-grade golden elixir Han Lingshuang condensed far surpassed their lower-grade counterparts in both power and potential.

This meant that, at least for now, Han Lingshuang’s path was already much smoother than theirs.

“So the Palace Master condensed a mid-grade golden elixir! No wonder we sensed the Palace Master’s aura was extraordinary just now,” the First Saint Lord said with a smile. “

Lingshuang was just lucky. Without the guidance of the Supreme Lord, I wouldn’t have been able to condense a mid-grade golden elixir,” Han Lingshuang said modestly.

Lu Qing shook his head, “A mid-grade golden elixir can’t be condensed solely through guidance. It’s primarily due to your endurance of tedious practice, day after day, cultivating your foundation, that you have achieved this.”

Seeing this, the three Saint Lords felt even more envious.

At the same time, they felt a surge of regret. It was

a shame they had rushed to achieve success, transcending the tribulation and entering the Golden Core realm too early.

Otherwise, if they had received Lu Qing’s guidance before the tribulation, they would have achieved something much better.

Perhaps, they also have the opportunity to condense a mid-grade golden elixir.

Now, although the low-grade golden elixir also has the hope of being refined and promoted to a mid-grade golden elixir.

But that is a difficult road after all, and no one dares to guarantee whether they can do it.

In the following time, Lu Qing welcomed Han Lingshuang and others into the cave, and several people in the Golden Core Realm began to discuss the Dao.

Although it was called a discussion, it was actually mainly Lu Qing who was preaching and giving instructions, and the others were listening carefully.

When Lu Qing finished his instructions, Han Lingshuang and others felt that they had gained a lot, and they wanted to go back to practice in seclusion immediately to digest what they had learned from this lecture.

When Han Lingshuang and others said goodbye and slowly left.

Lu Qing looked at their backs, but fell into deep thought.
