I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 593

Chapter 593: Disciples of the Qiankun Sect, begging for help

“Fellow Daoist Lu seems quite wary of the Gongshu family?”

Taoist Wubao, who was performing acrobatic maneuvers in the dense forest, asked Lu Qing.

He had previously noticed that Lu Qing seemed reluctant to have too much contact with the Gongshu family.

“Not just the Gongshu family, I’m wary of all these powerful forces,” Lu Qing said. “We’re weak and can’t leave this secret realm for the time being. If we’re targeted, even if we wanted to escape, it wouldn’t be easy.” Taoist Wubao nodded,

recalling the current situation within the secret realm.

Currently, due to the shortage of spirit stones and elixirs, the independent cultivators within the secret realm have begun to plunder each other.

The elite disciples of these powerful forces, with their deep backgrounds, might not resort to such demeaning behavior for the time being.

But over time, it’s hard to say.

“So, should we go look for Fellow Daoist Ye and the others?”

“Yes, this ancient pagoda is so conspicuous, Miss Ye and the others should be nearby,” Lu Qing nodded.

The two men traversed the dense forest. Meanwhile, Lu Qing, relying on his superior spiritual perception and Xiao Li’s warning, led the Five Treasures Taoist priests to avoid the forces lurking in the dense forest.

Finally, after two quarters of an hour, his expression shifted, and he finally sensed a few familiar wisps of causal energy.

“We’ve found it. It’s just up ahead, Taoist priest. Let’s go.”

The two men maneuvered and dodged, finally arriving at a valley.

“Who?”

Because Lu Qing and his companions hadn’t concealed their presence, they immediately alerted the people in the valley.

“I’m Chen Qing. I didn’t know this was the headquarters of the Qiankun Sect. I’d like to visit Daoist Fellows Ye Qingzhu and Zixiao,”

Lu Qing announced loudly, standing at the valley’s entrance.

He could see that a powerful formation had been set up within the valley, enveloping it entirely,

preventing them from seeing the true situation within.

“Senior Sister Ye and Senior Brother Zixiao’s friend, Chen Qing, you said your name is Chen Qing, the Taoist friend Chen Qing who saved Senior Sister Ye and the others?”

The Qiankun Sect disciple on guard was initially skeptical, but upon hearing Lu Qing’s name, something clicked in his mind and he exclaimed in surprise.

“…That must be me.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll go report.”

Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist waited quietly outside the valley. Soon, they saw the valley entrance shift and distort, the power of a magic circle pulsating.

Then, a slender figure emerged from the area, rushing towards Lu Qing. It was Chu Xiaojing.

But Chu Xiaojing’s face was filled with anxiety, not even the surprise of seeing Lu Qing again.

Using her acrobatics, she reached him, grabbed his hand, and tried to pull him into the valley.

“Brother Chen, hurry! Senior Sister Ye and Senior Brother Zixiao are dying!”

Lu Qing had been about to break free, but at these words, his body froze. He didn’t struggle, and followed Chu Xiaojing into the valley.

As for the Five Treasures Taoist priests, they naturally followed closely behind.

Passing through the light curtain of the formation at the valley’s entrance and emerging into the valley,

Lu Qing spotted several wooden houses within. Over a dozen figures were approaching them.

Leading the group was a square-faced young man in azure robes.

Seeing Chu Xiaojing running in with Lu Qing in tow, the young man frowned and immediately scolded, “Xiaojing, please don’t be so rude! How can you treat such a distinguished guest like this?”

“Second Senior Brother.”

Chu Xiaojing was clearly a little frightened of the young man, and she paused involuntarily at the rebuke.

But soon, she called out anxiously, “But Senior Sister Ye and Senior Brother Zixiao are seriously injured…”

“Qingzhu and Zixiao’s injuries are certainly serious, but they’re not going to last that long. Fellow Daoist Chen is a distinguished guest of our Qiankun Sect. How can you be so disrespectful?”

Chu Xiaojing didn’t dare to speak. She squeezed Lu Qing’s hand, her lips pouting in grievance.

Lu Qing gently pulled his hand free, bowed, and said, “I’m Chen Qing. Greetings to everyone from the Qiankun Sect. Miss Chu said Miss Ye and the others were injured. What’s going on?”

“Greetings, fellow Taoists. I’m Qin Zheng, their incompetent senior brother.”

The square-faced young man returned the greeting earnestly, then sighed softly.

“It’s a long story, but Junior Sister Qingzhu and Junior Brother Zixiao are indeed injured, and their injuries are serious. I don’t know if they can survive this.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing immediately said, “Then could I take a look? I have some medical knowledge and perhaps I can be of assistance.”

Remembering the divination by Taoist Wubao, Lu Qing wondered if the danger described in the hexagram reflected Ye Qingzhu and the others’ current situation.

“Of course,” Qin Zheng said quickly. “I’ve also heard from Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others that fellow Daoist possesses astonishing medical skills and the ability to bring the dead back to life. I’m sure he can help Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others recover.”

“Miss Ye, you’re too kind.” Lu Qing smiled. “Then there’s no time to lose. Let’s go check on their injuries first.”

“Brother Chen, Senior Sister Ye and Senior Brother Zixiao are inside. I’ll take you there.”

Chu Xiaojing immediately took Lu Qing’s hand and headed towards one of the wooden houses.

Qin Zheng frowned again, but this time, he didn’t say anything. He simply followed behind with his fellow disciples.

The other Qiankun Sect disciples also showed curiosity.

They were familiar with the name Chen Qing.

After all, Junior Sister Xiaojing had mentioned him frequently these days. She

often said that he was not only a master swordsman, but also a master doctor, capable of bringing the dead back to life.

If that were true, Qingzhu and Zixiao might truly be saved.

Lu Qing followed Chu Xiaojing into a wooden house.

Inside, Ye Qingzhu, Zixiao, and two other Qiankun Sect disciples lay sprawled on wooden planks.

Their robes were stained with blood, and their breath was extremely weak.

Ye Qingzhu suffered a massive wound between her waist and abdomen, nearly bisecting her diagonally. She looked horrific.

Zixiao’s condition was equally serious. His right arm was missing, and his chest was sunken. His face was pale, and his breath was barely alive.

Two other Qiankun Sect disciples, whom Lu Qing didn’t recognize, were also gravely injured, and their condition was grim.

“How could they have sustained such severe injuries?”

Lu Qing frowned as he surveyed their injuries.

“Senior Sister Ye and the others were injured by the strange beasts guarding the ancient pagoda,” Chu Xiaojing said, a look of hatred crossing her face. “If it weren’t for those Gongshu clan members deserting the battlefield, ruining the formation, we wouldn’t have been defeated head-on by the strange beasts, and Senior Brother Zhao and the others wouldn’t have died…”

“Xiaojing!” Qin Zheng suddenly shouted, interrupting Chu Xiaojing.

But Lu Qing already understood. It seemed this matter was related to the Gongshu family.

Could it be that the man-made disasters mentioned in the divination by the Five Treasures Taoist priests were referring to the Gongshu family?

“Fellow Daoist Chen, Xiaojing’s nonsense is embarrassing.”

After scolding Chu Xiaojing, Qin Zheng said to Lu Qing, “I wonder if there is any way to treat Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others’ injuries?”

“I can’t guarantee anything. I’d need a thorough diagnosis to know.” Lu Qing didn’t promise.

“Then please ask Fellow Daoist Chen to diagnose it. If you can save Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others, our Qiankun Sect will be deeply grateful for this favor.”

Qin Zheng saw that Lu Qing didn’t immediately deny it, and a hint of joy crossed his face.

This meant there was still hope.

“Then I’ll be so presumptuous.”

Lu Qing first approached Ye Qingzhu, gently placing his fingers on her wrist. A wisp of magic power seeped into her body, examining her condition. As

his mind followed the magic power into Ye Qingzhu’s body, a hint of understanding soon crossed Lu Qing’s face.

At this point, Ye Qingzhu’s injuries were extremely severe.

Not only was her body nearly split in two, but her meridians were completely shattered by the brute force.

Her Dantian Qi Sea was also damaged, and her magic elixir was dim.

These injuries were no less serious than those inflicted by Li Motian.

After examining Ye Qingzhu’s injuries, Lu Qing returned to Zixiao’s side and placed his fingers on his wrist.

This person’s injuries were even more severe than Ye Qingzhu’s.

He had lost his right arm, and his chest had been completely destroyed by some unknown force, brutally and violently.

Not only was his sternum shattered, but even his internal organs were utterly damaged, leaving only a faint pulse in his heart.

It was likely that the vitality of a Jindan realm cultivator was strong enough, otherwise, with these injuries, he would have died countless times over.

After examining Zixiao, Lu Qing checked the injuries of the other two Qiankun Sect disciples, then paused in thought.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, how are things going? Can Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others be cured?”

Qin Zheng, seeing Lu Qing’s silence, felt a pang in his heart and asked hurriedly.

“I can only say there’s some hope, but I can’t guarantee a complete cure,” Lu Qing said cautiously.

This is what Master taught us: as a healer, even if you’re absolutely certain, you must never make promises.

“That’s good!” Qin Zheng was overjoyed upon hearing this, bowing deeply to Lu Qing. “Please do your best to save my fellow disciples.”

Though he appeared composed, Qin Zheng had been under immense pressure ever since Ye Qingzhu and the others were seriously injured and unconscious, and his two fellow disciples had died.

However, as the leader of this expedition into the secret realm, he couldn’t let this pressure show.

Otherwise, his already restless disciples would surely panic even more.

But even with his composure, seeing Ye Qingzhu and the others’ life force dwindling, with no way to help,

Qin Zheng’s anxiety grew .

Now, hearing Lu Qing’s words of hope, his anxiety grew.

“Miss Ye and the others are acquaintances of mine, so I will naturally do my best to help them,” Lu Qing nodded. “But I’m afraid we’re a bit limited in this cabin. Please help move Miss Ye and the others outside while I treat them.”

“Outside?” Qin Zheng was stunned.

Generally speaking, healing is best done indoors, but Lu Qing unexpectedly went the other way.

“Yes, we need to go outside,” Lu Qing said seriously. “The spiritual energy in this secret realm is thin. Miss Ye and the others are seriously injured, and without spiritual nourishment, their condition is only getting worse.

I’ll need to set up a formation to stabilize their injuries, but

I’m afraid it won’t be enough in this room.” “Fellow Daoist Chen is right. We were negligent.”

Qin Zheng, a late Jindan cultivator, though not skilled in medicine, understood Lu Qing’s words immediately.

In fact, their inability to treat Ye Qingzhu and the others’ injuries

was due not only to their lack of medical skills, but also to their location within this secret realm.

The spiritual energy in this strange realm was incredibly thin, significantly diminishing the power of their Taoist techniques.

As for the formations they had set up, without the ability to draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, their effectiveness was reduced to a tenth of its original value.

So, while they did try to help Ye Qingzhu and the others, their efforts were minimal.

Qin Zheng immediately instructed his fellow disciples to move Ye Qingzhu and the other three outside the room and place them on a blanket on the ground.

“Everyone, please step back.”

Lu Qing stood in front of Ye Qingzhu and the others, asking them to step back. Then, he formed his fingers into swords, channeling his sword energy and carving patterns on the surrounding ground.

The Qiankun Sect disciples watched this scene with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity.

This was the first time they had seen a formation being carved before treating an injury.

Taoist Wubao was also watching intently.

He had always heard Chu Xiaojing speak of Lu Qing’s astonishing medical skills, and this time, he finally had the chance to witness them firsthand.

Only Xiaoli remained oblivious to the scene before him.

He lay on a nearby boulder, his eyes closed, pretending to sleep.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Lu Qing quickly carved a profound formation.

Then, with a flick of his finger, he inserted spirit stones and talismans into the formation’s nodes.

Qin Zheng’s expression shifted slightly at this sight.

He could tell that all the spirit stones Lu Qing had mined were mid-grade. Given

the current situation within the secret realm, such generosity was truly remarkable.

“Xiao Jing and the others are right. This Daoist Chen truly possesses a kind heart, a compassionate mind like a doctor.”

The other Qiankun Sect disciples were equally astonished at the sight of Lu Qing’s continuous minting of spirit stones.

Spirit stones were even more precious than magical treasures in the secret realm today.

This Daoist Chen was surprisingly generous.

Lu Qing was unaware of the Qiankun Sect disciples’ thoughts.

He had inserted spirit stones into the formation to serve as a source of power, maximizing its might.

Otherwise, with the thin spiritual energy within this secret realm, the formation would be powerless.

Once the formation was fully deployed, he tapped his foot, activating it.

The next moment, a curtain of light illuminated, enveloping him and Ye Qingzhu.

The spiritual energy of the spirit stones within the formation was unleashed, instantly filling the entire formation with a hazy, spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy, tinged with a vibrant green, was strikingly different from the ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This was because the talisman Lu Qing had inserted into the formation was a healing jade talisman he had personally refined, imbued with the power of the wood element.

Enhanced by the healing talisman, the spiritual energy had become a powerful and unique energy.

When the spiritual energy in the formation was dense enough, Lu Qing pinched the magic formula, and the spiritual energy was controlled by him, flowing towards the unconscious Ye Qingzhu and the other three, and began to nourish their injured bodies.
