I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Choice of the Future, Breeding of the Spirit

Watching Han Lingshuang and the others depart, Lu Qing fell into deep thought.

These old friends had all broken through and entered new realms.

While he was happy for them, he couldn’t help but think of his own situation.

Over the years, especially in recent years, Lu Qing’s cultivation progress had been increasingly slow.

After reaching the perfection of the Third Transformation, there had been no further progress.

No matter how much he absorbed spiritual energy, his cultivation couldn’t improve even a bit.

Let alone breaking through the bottleneck and entering the Fourth Transformation.

Lu Qing knew the reason for his limited cultivation.

His spiritual power was too pure, and the spiritual energy of this world was no longer sufficient for his cultivation.

Only if the Sound of Heaven and Earth resounded once more, causing a qualitative transformation in the world’s spiritual energy, would his cultivation level be able to continue to rise.

However, over a decade had passed since the last Sound of Heaven and Earth, and it hadn’t sounded again.

Furthermore, during these decades, while the laws of heaven and earth hadn’t completely stabilized,

they were still evolving, but at a very slow pace.

It’s unknown how many years it will take for the next Heavenly Dao Sound to resonate.

This means that for a considerable period of time, Lu Qing’s cultivation will likely be stagnant.

Of course, if he uses spirit stones for cultivation, his cultivation can still improve.

However, Lu Qing has already used up most of his spirit stones over the years.

He must save some for emergencies.

He has also ventured out to search for spirit stone mines, but with little success.

This has forced him to be more cautious with his spirit stones and not waste them so easily.

“Perhaps it’s time to explore the outside world?”

Lu Qing pondered silently.

This thought wasn’t a sudden impulse; it had been brewing for a long time.

Ever since he realized that the recovery of his spiritual energy couldn’t keep up with his own cultivation, Lu Qing had been pondering this issue.

His perfect golden elixir was so powerful that it could easily crush even a high-grade golden elixir.

But similarly, with such a powerful mana golden elixir, every tiny improvement in cultivation would be enough to increase his cultivation.

The spiritual energy required was not only enormous, but also demanded extremely high quality.

Clearly, this small world was no longer sufficient for his cultivation needs.

However, cultivating in a medium-sized world, or even a large one, might be a different story.

According to the jade slips he’d read from the two alien visitors, the large worlds were immense, filled with countless incredible treasures and wonders.

Not only were there countless Jindan masters, but even those at the Yuanshen realm were no exception.

It was far beyond the reach of small worlds.

If he could cultivate there, even if he were a Perfect Jindan, he wouldn’t have to worry about the quality of the spiritual energy.

However, despite having harbored this thought for a long time, Lu Qing was hesitant.

Not only was the path beyond his control uncertain, but there were also many people in this small world he cared about.

“Let’s wait a little longer. Xiaoyan has already reached Foundation Establishment perfection. We can wait until she overcomes the heavenly tribulation and achieves Jindan.”

After a moment’s deliberation, Lu Qing finally made his decision.

Xiaoyan had just reached Foundation Establishment perfection, and she needed considerable time to strengthen her foundation before she could overcome the tribulation.

If the spiritual energy of this world still hasn’t transformed after she achieves the Golden Elixir, perhaps he should really make a choice.

After making the decision, Lu Qing concentrated his mind and continued his retreat.

Although it is difficult for him to improve his cultivation even if he practices now, it does not mean that he has nothing to do.

It is just right that he can take this opportunity to use his own special abilities to deduce and sort out what he has learned.

Whether it is to deduce the subsequent formulas of the [Perfect Golden Elixir Method] or to comprehend the magical powers.

Or to hone his skills in refining qi and refining pills.

In short, in addition to improving his cultivation, there are still many things he can do.

Time flies.

Ten years had passed since Han Lingshuang’s visit.

During these ten years, Lu Qing, drawing on his supernatural powers, had thoroughly summarized and synthesized all he had learned, gaining a deep understanding. This

had given him a clearer understanding of his own path of cultivation.

His greatest achievement was his advancement of his self-created [Perfect Golden Elixir Method] to the sixth level. He

had also cultivated two of his divinely gifted minor magical powers to the realm of great perfection.

He had also mastered many of the Taoist arts and techniques he had previously learned to the limits of his control.

Therefore, while his cultivation remained at the third level of perfection,

his strength had skyrocketed, reaching an even more unfathomable depth.

One day, spiritual energy surged within Lu Qing’s quiet room. A spirit bag before him slowly rotated.

Suddenly, it swallowed the entire spiritual energy in the room in a single gulp.

Then, the spirit bag trembled, and a vibrant and lively aura emanated from it.

Sensing this, Lu Qing smiled.

As soon as the incantation was completed, the spirit bag flew towards him, nuzzling his face affectionately like a puppy.

“Congratulations, Master, for re-refining the spirit within this Qiankun Yiqi bag, restoring it to its peak power.”

At this moment, the figure of “Yan” appeared beside Lu Qing, congratulating him. He

also looked at the Qiankun Yiqi bag with a complicated expression.

This ancient spiritual artifact, from its own era, had now been fully revived.

However, the spirit within was completely new, completely unrelated to the one that once existed.

This sense of change still left him with a sense of regret.

“Yes, I finally refined it.”

Lu Qing teased the Qiankun Yiqi bag with his fingers, also lamenting the difficulty it had taken.

The Qiankun Yiqi bag was the first spiritual artifact he had acquired back then.

However, the spirit within had long since dissipated, leaving only a trace of spiritual energy.

Later, with the spiritual energy resurgence, the Qiankun Yiqi bag was nourished by spiritual energy, gradually regaining its power and strengthening its spiritual energy.

Only today has it once again nurtured its spirit.

However, unlike “Yan,” this new spirit had long since lost its past memories.

It was now a blank slate, utterly immature.

It only treated Lu Qing, its creator, as a family member. Otherwise, it was like a newborn, still completely clueless.

“No wonder the classics state that refining a spiritual artifact requires a cultivator at least at the Soul Formation Realm.

Just regenerating the spirit of the Qiankun Yiqi Bag has taken me so much time. To forge

a brand new spiritual artifact from scratch would require immense resources and energy.

A cultivator at the Jindan Realm, barring a Soul Formation Realm powerhouse, simply couldn’t withstand such a toll.”

Lu Qing thought again of his natal magical weapon, the Five Elements Gourd.

The Five Elements Gourd’s predecessor was the Plague Gourd, the natal spiritual artifact of the Plague Old Man.

The Plague Old Man’s spirit was completely slain by him, its spiritual essence extinguished. The Plague Gourd’s rank also declined, becoming a mere treasure.

Later, he re-refined the Plague Gourd and transformed it into his own magical weapon, the Five Elements Gourd.

But after so many years, despite his day and night refining and nurturing,

the Five Elements Gourd still showed no signs of nurturing a spirit and transforming into a spiritual weapon.

He estimated that even if he had a perfect golden elixir, it would be unlikely to transform the Five Elements Gourd into a spiritual weapon

before entering the Seventh Transformation Realm .

Just as Lu Qing was pondering, a stream of light suddenly flew in from outside.

He took it, examined it with his mind, and suddenly a hint of joy appeared on his face.

“Is Xiaoyan finally going to overcome the tribulation and break through?”
