I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 551

Chapter 551: Checking the Storage Bag, a Large Amount of Spiritual Stones

“This strange bird has such a strong ability to conceal its breath that I didn’t discover it in advance.”

Lu Qing’s heart trembled.

But his reaction was extremely fast.

He put his fingers together to form a sword, and a sword energy shot up into the sky.

Feeling the sharp murderous intent of the sword energy, panic suddenly appeared in the eyes of the strange bird.

It had never expected that this inconspicuous human boy in front of it, who was only at the third level of the Golden Core Realm, could actually burst out such a terrifying sword energy.

It flapped its wings hard, trying desperately to dodge.

But the speed of Lu Qing’s sword energy was so fast, and the strange bird was rushing towards it at a very fast speed.

So it had no time to dodge, and was cut in half by the sword energy, blood spilled in the sky, and a demon pill fell from

it. Lu Qing passed by and had already collected the two halves of the strange bird’s corpse and the demon pill into the Lihuo Cauldron.

Then he bent his body and fell to the mountain range below, and then found a cave to crawl into.

After knocking out a nest of leopard-like spirit beasts and temporarily occupying their lair, Lu Qing summoned a formation disk to conceal the cave.

He then sat cross-legged, breathed a sigh of relief, and retrieved the carcass of the strange bird.

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the corpse, the largest leopard in the nearby den stiffened before fainting.

Lu Qing smiled softly and surveyed the carcass of the strange bird before him.

Honestly, he was still startled.

The strange bird had appeared so suddenly, seemingly hidden within the clouds, its aura blending seamlessly with the mist.

Even he hadn’t noticed anything amiss. Fortunately

, the bird wasn’t particularly powerful, only at the mid-stage Jindan stage.

A powerful late-stage Jindan demonic beast would have been a significant disadvantage.

“I guess I’ll have to be more careful when navigating this Tianyuan world from now on,” Lu Qing thought, a note of caution.

Even while flying, he was attacked by this strange bird, capable of concealing its presence.

This time, he was strong enough to escape unscathed.

But who knows if he’ll be so lucky next time.

“Master.”

Just as Lu Qing was reflecting, Wu Xing nudged the corner of his shirt.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Qing turned.

“Can I eat the carcass of this strange bird?”

Wu Xing pointed at the two halves with the tip of his tail.

“You want to eat that?” Lu Qing was surprised.

“Yes, I can sense it. Eating it would be good for me.”

Lu Qing pondered. He knew that demonic beasts and spirit beasts could cultivate and evolve by consuming blood.

Even in his home world, the distinction between demonic beasts and spirit beasts was based on whether they cultivated through blood. Those

who preferred to consume blood were influenced by the bloody aura and had relatively violent temperaments, and were called demon beasts.

Those who focused on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and comprehending the laws of nature were more gentle and were called spirit beasts.

In reality, there was no fundamental difference between the two, merely differing paths of cultivation.

This strange bird was a Jindan-level demonic beast, its flesh imbued with immense vital energy.

It was only natural that the Five Elements would be envious of it.

Lu Qing was debating whether to allow it to pursue the path of devouring blood.

But then he remembered that when it first underwent the tribulation, the Five Elements only had eight tribulation thunders.

Its potential was still somewhat inferior to Xiao Li’s.

Perhaps cultivating the path of devouring blood could compensate for its deficiencies.

As for demonic beasts that pursue the path of devouring blood, their temperaments tended to be more violent, but that wasn’t a problem for Lu Qing.

The Five Elements had long been enslaved by his spirit and soul, commanding absolute obedience. They

weren’t susceptible to the bloody evil energy generated by devouring blood.

“Xiao Li, do you want to eat this?”

Even though he had made up his mind, Lu Qing still asked Xiao Li first.

“No! Give it to that stinking snake.”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Li looked at the strange bird’s corpse with disdain.

It only liked to eat fish and had no interest in these strange things.

“Very well, Wuxing, you may take the corpse. However, I cannot give you the monster bird’s demonic elixir. I still have a use for it.”

“Yes, Master!”

Wuxing exulted, his body swelling in size as he devoured the corpse of the monster bird in one gulp.

Then, returning to its original form, he lay down beside it, and began to refine and absorb the monster bird’s essence.

Lu Qing watched thoughtfully.

In his home world, Wuxing had never expressed this desire for the flesh of other spirit beasts and demonic beasts.

Was this a new change after refining the dragon turtle’s bloodline, or was it because the spirit beasts and demonic beasts in his home world were too weak to pique his interest?

After pondering for a moment, Lu Qing withdrew his mind and allowed Wuxing to refine the monster bird’s corpse.

He then took out a few items.

They were two storage bags and an ancient ring.

They were the two storage bags Mo Hongyun had given him, and the storage ring Nangong Yuanwu had given him.

“It’s a pity that Gongshu Yu and the other two people in the Yuanshen realm didn’t dare to take the storage bags.”

Looking at the several storage magic weapons in front of him, Lu Qing felt a sense of regret in his heart.

When he defeated Gongshu Yu and captured the two unconscious Yuanshen realm masters of the Gongshu family and brought them into the city,

he had the opportunity to seize their storage artifacts.

However, after careful consideration, he ultimately decided not to do so.

After all, he didn’t know if the Gongshu family had tampered with the storage artifacts or the treasures within them.

What if there were some secret tracking method left there, and he was unaware of it? He wouldn’t

be found by someone else and would be left clueless.

Therefore, for safety’s sake, he ultimately left the three people’s storage artifacts alone.

While the treasures were tempting, he would undoubtedly need to cultivate in the Tianyuan World for a considerable period of time.

He couldn’t afford to leave himself vulnerable to such a serious threat due to his momentary greed.

Picking up one of the storage bags, Lu Qing released his spiritual power and probed within.

If he remembered correctly, this storage bag should have been left behind by Master Qiu.

Master Qiu had been killed by Mo Hongyun, and the storage bag he left behind naturally became ownerless.

So Lu Qing’s spiritual power entered it very easily.

Then his face became a little surprised.

“Master Qiu is quite rich. Is the treatment at the Treasure House so good, or did he embezzle it?”

Lu Qing saw that in Master Qiu’s storage bag, there were many talismans and magic tools, as well as elixirs, various spiritual herbs and medicines, and refining materials.

In addition, there were jade slips and other miscellaneous things.

It can be said that everything is available.

Lu Qing did not take a close look at the talismans and magic tools refined by Master Qiu.

Instead, he was more interested in the jade slips, spiritual herbs and medicines, refining materials, etc.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and a one-foot square brocade box appeared in his hand.

“So heavy?” Lu Qing raised his eyebrows.

He originally thought that it would contain some precious spiritual medicine or other treasures.

Now it seems that he was wrong.

With a hint of curiosity, Lu Qing opened the brocade box.

The next moment, a shimmering, pearlescent light emanated from within.

Lu Qing couldn’t help but gasp as he took in the contents.

Inside was a neatly stacked box of spirit stones, all of them mid-grade.

A rough estimate suggested the box contained at least a thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

“So, this seems to be why Master Qiu rebelled and unleashed demonic energy in the Treasure House.”

Lu Qing, upon seeing the spirit stones within the brocade box, immediately understood.

While Master Qiu held a high position within the Treasure House, it was impossible for him to amass such a large amount of spirit stones.

And someone as stingy and greedy as him wouldn’t do anything without profit.

He wouldn’t be willing to take such a huge risk and unleash demonic energy in the Treasure House without a sufficient price.

It seemed the spirit stones within the brocade box were that price.

“However, Tianjifang is truly generous, spending thousands of mid-grade spirit stones in one go.”

Lu Qing felt a sense of wonder, then a surge of delight.

Tianjifang’s generous spending had benefited him greatly.

With Master Qiu’s thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, plus his own recent earnings, he was now considered well-off, even among the Jindan realm experts in the Tianyuan World.

Lu Qing thought happily.

“Oh, and there are also the storage magic tools of the building owner and the city lord.”

Lu Qing picked up another storage bag and storage ring.

He remembered that Mo Hongyun and Nangong Yuanwu had also given him spirit stones.

After Lu Qing used his spiritual power to examine the remaining storage bags and storage rings,

he suddenly became dazed.

After more than ten breaths, he regained consciousness. He

muttered, “This time, it’s more than just a small accumulation…”

Lu Qing estimated that the storage bag given by Mo Hongyun contained at least five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

And the storage ring given by Nangong Yuanwu, while not as many, still contained a full three thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

It seemed likely that this Soul Realm master, despite being the lord of a city, must have

incurred considerable expenses for his daily cultivation. His accumulated spirit stones were, in fact, not as numerous as those of Mo Hongyun, who was known for his wealth.

However, combined with his previous earnings, Lu Qing’s holdings of mid-grade spirit stones had already surpassed ten thousand.

Over eleven thousand, five hundred!

This was a colossal sum!

Just recently, he had

been worried about the spirit stones needed to stay at the inn. Now, with tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones in hand, Lu Qing’s heart surged.

It took a long time for Lu Qing to calm down,

silently warning himself not to get carried away.

He estimated that his current stash of spirit stones was considered exceptional, not just for a Jindan Realm master, but even for a Soul Realm master.

If anyone knew of his vast reserves, even a Soul Realm master would be tempted to rob him.

Therefore, he had to maintain a low profile and not show off his wealth.

This wasn’t his home world, and he no longer possessed that sweeping, invincible might.

Even a single powerful soul wouldn’t be enough for him to handle.

If he were to display his prowess too much, provoking an unstoppable foe, that would be a truly tragic endeavor.

“Ah Qing, what’s so exciting about you that you’re grinning like that?”

Xiao Li, standing nearby, couldn’t help but ask, noticing Lu Qing’s smirk.

“Xiao Li, we’re in luck this time!”

Lu Qing picked up Xiao Li and rubbed his head vigorously, expressing his joy.

He rubbed the little guy so hard that he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him.

Xiao Li, however, became curious. “Were we in luck? Did that woman and the city lord give you a lot of spirit stones?”

“Well, the spirit stones given by the host and the city lord, plus what we earned before, guess how many spirit stones do we have now?”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but keep Xiao Li guessing.

“How many? Could it be four or five thousand mid-grade spirit stones?” Xiao Li’s eyes lit up.

“No, no, no.” Lu Qing raised a finger and shook it. “We currently have over 11,500 mid-grade spirit stones!”

“Over 11,500 mid-grade spirit stones…”

Xiao Li’s eyes widened at the number.

Although he had rarely ventured out since entering the Xiaocang Realm, he knew what a staggering sum this was.

“Ah Qing, are we truly rich?” Xiao Li muttered.

“Yes, of all these spirit stones, the owner of the building gave the most, a full 6,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

Lu Qing also counted the spirit stones from Master Qi’s storage bag toward Mo Hongyun’s.

After all, Master Qiu’s storage bag had been given to him by Mo Hongyun.

“That woman is truly wealthy!”

Xiao Li couldn’t help but exclaim.

“By the way, Xiao Li, this is for you.”

Lu Qing suddenly picked up the storage ring and took out a piece of refined iron.

After smelting it with true fire, it became a shimmering silver magic chain.

He then put the storage ring on and hung it around Xiao Li’s neck.

“This storage ring has quite a lot of space inside, so I’ll give it to you to store your things. You’re not used to using a storage bag anyway.

I’ve already placed a hundred mid-grade spirit stones in the ring.

You can use them freely during your cultivation.”

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment as he looked at the storage ring hanging around his neck.

After hearing Lu Qing’s words, he quickly said, “Ah Qing, you said I should use spirit stones for cultivation. Isn’t that too extravagant?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? We have plenty of spirit stones now,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “Spirit stones are good, but the most important thing is to transform them into our own strength. Otherwise, they are just external possessions.

The spiritual energy in this Tianyuan world is rich and imbued with unique meaning.

It’s sufficient for our daily cultivation.

However, it’s still far inferior to the spiritual energy of mid-grade spirit stones.

So if you feel you’ve hit a bottleneck in your cultivation, then use spirit stones directly.

We’ll probably be staying here for a while.”

“Ah Qing, you’re going to retreat here. Didn’t you say you wanted to travel first?” Xiao Li asked, puzzled.

“That was just a lie to outsiders. I didn’t expect the host and the others to give us so many spirit stones.”

Now that we have enough resources for cultivation, we should naturally prioritize improving our strength.

Furthermore, digesting the Five Elements will likely take some time.

Didn’t you say you were close to a breakthrough?

In that case, let’s retreat here for a while. “

Lu Qing’s primary goal in entering the Tianyuan World was simply to improve his cultivation.

Broadening his horizons was only a side benefit.

Now that Mo Hongyun and the others have suddenly gifted him such a large sum of immortal resources,

he naturally needs to digest them first and transform them into his own strength.
