I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 600

Chapter 600: The framework is complete, Qin Zheng’s reminder

“With so many Jindan-level techniques as my resource, I’ve finally glimpsed the beginnings of the Seventh Transformation. It’s truly remarkable!”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but sigh.

Cultivation is a journey filled with hardships and obstacles.

Cultivators who reach the Jindan realm are no easy feats; they can all be considered exceptionally gifted practitioners.

Those who create Jindan-level techniques are even more exceptional. After all, creating something from scratch is never easy.

Each of the twenty or thirty Jindan-level techniques he’s acquired embodies the painstaking efforts of a prodigy, and the wisdom within them is truly remarkable.

As he contemplated them, he was constantly amazed by the ingenuity of their ideas.

Finally, a flash of inspiration struck, and through accumulated experience, he finally overcame his obstacles and gained a glimpse into the Seventh Transformation of his [Perfect Jindan Method].

Of course, it was only a clue at this point.

To truly deduce the Seventh Transformation, he would need to spend the next few years building the framework and gradually perfecting it.

But everything is difficult at the beginning. The most difficult step has been taken; what remains is steady practice.

Lu Qing possesses supernatural powers, so even steady practice wouldn’t take too long.

After sighing for a moment, Lu Qing glanced at the time, realizing it was still early, and activated his powers again to continue his contemplation and deduction.

By the time daybreak broke outside and the disciples of the Qiankun Sect began to stir, Lu Qing had already formed a rough outline for the seventh stage of the [Perfect Golden Elixir Method].

“Finally, I see hope,” Lu Qing smiled.

With the framework in place, the rest would be much easier. By gradually filling in the details, it wouldn’t be long before the seventh stage of the method would be fully complete.

However, such a task wouldn’t be completed in a day or two, and Lu Qing had more important matters to attend to today, so he paused his deductions.

“Ah Qing, are you finished practicing?”

Xiao Li, upon seeing Lu Qing awaken, immediately jumped into his arms, looking up at him with sparkling eyes.

“Well, we’re done with our training. We’ll head over to the ancient pagoda later.”

Seeing the little creature’s expression, Lu Qing clearly understood its intentions.

After removing the formation and carrying Xiao Li out of the cabin, Lu Qing saw that the Qiankun Sect’s disciples were all busy with their own affairs in the valley.

“Brother Chen, you’ve come out of retreat!”

Chu Xiaojing had been keeping an eye on the movements in the cabin where Lu Qing was. Seeing him emerge with Xiao Li, she immediately dropped her work and trotted over.

“You just came out of retreat. Miss Chu, are you cooking?”

Lu Qing looked at the firewood in Chu Xiaojing’s hands. Her palms were slightly black, and even her fair face was stained with a few black marks. He couldn’t help but feel curious.

“Yes,” Chu Xiaojing hid her hands behind her back, a little embarrassed. “Second Brother said that Senior Sister Ye and the others have just recovered from serious injuries and have damaged their fundamental Qi and blood. They need to replenish their Qi and blood, so he asked us to cook some food for them. I’m not very good at cooking, so please forgive me, Brother Chen.” “

Yes, Fellow Daoist Qin is right. Appropriate medicinal food can better replenish the fundamental Qi and blood,” Lu Qing nodded in approval.

Jindan realm experts aren’t completely detached from the mundane world.

Ordinary food holds little appeal to them. Only spiritual food made from spiritual ingredients imbued with spiritual energy can truly capture their attention.

Within Tianshu City, for example, there are numerous restaurants specializing in spiritual food.

Naturally, these offerings are generally quite expensive.

“But why use firewood instead of spiritual fire to cook the medicinal food?”

“Second Senior Brother said we don’t know how long we’ll be staying here, so we can’t waste too much mana, so we chose to cook over firewood.”

“I see,” Lu Qing nodded.

Qin Zheng was a thoughtful man; this was a precautionary measure.

“Brother Chen, you know how to cook?” Chu Xiaojing asked curiously.

“I used to be a healer, and cooking medicinal food was part of my job, so I know a thing or two.”

“I see. But we don’t have very good spiritual ingredients, and we don’t know how effective the resulting medicinal food will be,”

Chu Xiaojing said with some distress.

They had just entered this secret realm when they arrived at this dense forest and were captivated by the ancient pagoda.

These days, because they had to take care of the seriously injured Ye Qingzhu and others, they had been staying in this valley.

So they had not been able to explore the secret realm properly, let alone look for spiritual materials.

Lu Qing thought for a while, and then took out two fat rabbit beasts from the Qiankun Yiqi bag.

“If you are cooking medicinal food, you might as well add these two beasts. It should be more effective.”

“Brother Chen, did you catch these?” Chu Xiaojing looked at the two rabbit beasts, his eyes lit up.

“I caught these on my way here. They contain a lot of blood and flesh essence. If you use them to nourish your qi and blood, they should be a good choice.” Lu Qing said with a smile.

When Lu Qing passed by the grassland, he caught quite a few of these rabbit beasts.

Originally, he wanted to wait until he had some free time to taste what they tasted like with Xiao Li.

Unexpectedly, they would come in handy here.

“Thank you, Brother Chen! With these two rabbits, the medicinal food will definitely be more effective. Senior Sister Ye and the others will recover faster!”

Chu Xiaojing was also in the Golden Core Realm, so she could naturally feel the powerful blood and flesh energy contained in the bodies of these two rabbit beasts.

After thanking Lu Qing, she took the rabbit beasts and went to the medicinal food that was being cooked.

However, she soon ran into trouble. She didn’t know where to start with the corpses of the two rabbit beasts and didn’t know what to do with them.

As a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, killing the beasts was naturally a piece of cake for her, but it was her first time to gut and use them as food.

So, for a moment, he was unsure how to proceed.

Seeing this, Lu Qing smiled and walked over. “Let me do it.”

He took the two rabbit beasts, a wisp of sword energy condensing in his hand.

He quickly gutted them, skinned them, and then condensed a cloud of mist. After cleaning, he finally broke them into pieces.

Chu Xiaojing was stunned as she watched Lu Qing expertly handle the ingredients.

She had assumed that Lu Qing’s words about understanding were only a little,

but his deft movements were clearly no less skilled than those of the spiritual chefs in restaurants and hotels.

“Thank you, Brother Chen, I’m so clumsy.”

As Lu Qing added the pieces of meat to the simmering medicinal food, Chu Xiaojing finally came to her senses and hurriedly thanked him.

“No problem, I’m free anyway.”

Lu Qing smiled and simply pulled out a few more rabbit beasts from his Qiankun Yiqi bag.

He then took out a jade urn engraved with runes and some spiritual rice.

Using the Small Cloud and Rain Technique, he condensed a cloud of mist, washed the spiritual rice briefly, and placed it in the jade jar.

Driven by his magical power, the runes on the jade jar lit up, and soon bursts of heat emanated.

Lu Qing used the same method to slice up one of the rabbit beasts, preparing to put it into the jar to boil later.

After processing the remaining three rabbit beasts, he strung them together, condensed a ball of spiritual fire, and began to slowly roast them.

“Brother Chen, what are you doing?”

Chu Xiaojing asked, watching blankly from the side.

“I haven’t made breakfast for a long time. I’m trying to see if my cooking skills have faded.”

Lu Qing controlled the spiritual fire and slowly roasted the rabbit beast in his hand.

These days, he was either busy with repairs or traveling.

It’s been a long time since he tried to cook for himself.

Seeing Chu Xiaojing boiling the medicinal food just now, he couldn’t help but feel itchy.

“Brother Chen, do you always carry spiritual rice with you?”

Chu Xiaojing asked, sniffing the aroma of rice emanating from the jade jar.

“Yes, I’m a foodie, so I usually carry some cooking utensils and ingredients with me. I even grew this spiritual rice myself.”

“Grown spiritual rice myself…” Chu Xiaojing was stunned again.

This was another completely unexpected answer.

Watching Lu Qing, who was diligently grilling meat, Chu Xiaojing felt a little dazed.

She found that the more she interacted with this Brother Chen, the less she understood him.

Besides his unfathomable cultivation level, his unexpected behavior was also a factor.

For example, what he just said about personally cultivating spiritual rice was something she found difficult to understand.

Was the rough work of cultivating spiritual rice usually reserved for the sect’s outer disciples in the Qi Refining stage?

Why would someone at the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage even undertake such a trivial task?

As Chu Xiaojing paused, the spiritual rice porridge simmering in the jade jar began to boil.

Lu Qing placed the sliced rabbit meat into the jar, and soon, a delicate fragrance wafted out.

Of course, the more intense aroma came from the exotic rabbit he was roasting.

The rich aroma quickly caught the attention of the other Qiankun Sect disciples cultivating in the valley, and they all opened their eyes.

Even Ye Qingzhu and the others, who were regulating their breathing in another wooden hut, were drawn in.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, you’re in a good mood, grilling meat here so early in the morning,”

Qin Zheng said with a chuckle, emerging from one of the huts.

“Just got nothing to do. Miss Ye, Miss Chu has prepared your medicinal meal. Eating it should replenish your Qi and blood.”

Lu Qing removed the pot of medicinal meal and brought out some bowls and chopsticks, motioning to Ye Qingzhu and the others.

Knowing that Chu Xiaojing had specially prepared this medicinal meal for them, Ye Qingzhu and the others expressed their gratitude before accepting it.

However, after taking a sip, their faces turned bitter.

“Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Zixiao, how was it? This is my first time cooking. Was it good?”

Chu Xiaojing asked expectantly.

“Hmm, not bad, just a little too herbal,” Ye Qingzhu forced a smile.

“Delicious!” Zixiao said seriously, his expression serious.

As for the other two Qiankun Sect disciples, they naturally didn’t dare to say anything, but they all said it tasted good.

This praise immediately made Chu Xiaojing smile.

To have earned the approval of her senior brothers and sisters on her first try, it seemed she had a natural talent for spiritual cooking.

Delighted, she immediately announced, “Then I’ll prepare herbal meals for you over the next few days.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu and the others froze.

“Well, Junior Sister, don’t bother me. I think my injuries have almost healed. Eating too much herbal food might make me too weak to take it all in,” Ye Qingzhu said gently.

“Yes!” Zixiao and the other two nodded in agreement. “Is that so?

That’s a shame,” Chu Xiaojing said with some regret.

Seeing she’d given up, Ye Qingzhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

If they ate a few more of the medicinal meals cooked by Junior Sister, even if their bodies recovered, their spirits would likely have suffered significant damage.

Lu Qing, watching from the sidelines, secretly amused himself, but he didn’t expose their

misconceptions. Instead, he poured out four bowls of meat porridge and handed them to them. “Miss Ye, you should also try my meat porridge. It’s made with spiritual rice and exotic rabbit meat, and it’s quite nourishing.”

“Did Fellow Daoist Chen cook it himself?”

Ye Qingzhu and the others took it, somewhat flattered .

Breathing the delicate fragrance wafting from the bowl, they couldn’t help but take a sip.

The next moment, their eyes lit up.

This spiritual rice and meat porridge was fragrant, soft, and smooth, with a rich meaty aroma. It was truly delicious.

More importantly, their taste buds had just experienced the devastation of Junior Sister Xiaojing’s medicinal meals, and the contrast between this delicious meat porridge and the porridge made the taste even better.

“Fellow Daoist Chen’s cooking skills are truly remarkable, on par with those renowned spiritual chefs in Tianshu City,” Zixiao couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“That’s not to be trifled with. We’ve simply not eaten in a while, so we find

the food particularly delicious,” Lu Qing said with a smile. He then called the other Qiankun Sect disciples over for breakfast.

This time, he’d cooked quite a bit of porridge, and with the spiritual rice stored in his Qiankun Qi Bag even more plentiful, he wasn’t worried about running out.

At first, the Qiankun Sect disciples were a bit embarrassed, but eventually, under Qin Zheng’s guidance, they all gathered around to eat.

And so, after all these days in the secret realm, the Qiankun Sect disciples finally had a decent breakfast.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, Junior Brother Zixiao was right. Your cooking skills are truly on par with those renowned spiritual chefs.”

After breakfast, even Qin Zheng couldn’t help but offer his praise.

The barbecue, in particular, was unlike anything he’d ever tasted before.

“It’s just the ingredients that are good. My limited culinary skills are just icing on the cake,” Lu Qing said modestly.

He wasn’t wrong, though; it was indeed the ingredients that contributed.

Even he was surprised by the surprisingly good taste of the rabbits he’d casually caught on the grassland.

It was truly remarkable: when alive, these rabbits were incredibly strong, impervious to swords and knives.

But after death, their meat became incredibly tender, not tough at all.

Furthermore, Lu Qing had roasted it with spiritual fire, completely roasting it through and through, so it wasn’t tough to chew; on the contrary, it tasted divine.

“Sure enough, the beasts within this secret realm owe their formidable bodies to the witch’s primordial blood within them. Once they die, their blood isn’t mobilized, and their bodies become much weaker,” Lu Qing realized.

“By the way, Fellow Daoist Chen, there’s something I need to tell you. Yesterday, while you were in seclusion, someone from the Gongshu family came…”

At this moment, Qin Zheng suddenly brought up something, recounting the Gongshu family’s visit.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, are you telling me to be careful of someone from the Gongshu family?”

Lu Qing asked thoughtfully.

“Indeed, Gongshu Yu has a sinister nature. He must have noticed you and me appearing with him yesterday. Now that we’ve broken ranks with him, I’m afraid he’ll vent his anger on you, and it could be detrimental to you,” Qin Zheng said seriously.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin, for the reminder. I’ll be careful.”

Seeing Lu Qing agree, Qin Zheng finally felt relieved.

Although Lu Qing’s strength was unfathomable, even he couldn’t see through his true intentions.

But as the saying goes, two fists can’t beat four hands. The Gongshu clan was outnumbered, and Gongshu Yu’s cultivation level was even higher than his, having reached the peak of the eighth stage of the Golden Core Realm.

In this secret realm, he was only slightly weaker than Ba Tian of the Overlord Clan, Chen Cangfeng of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Daozi of several major factions like Daoxu Temple and Biluo Palace. No matter how

powerful Lu Qing was, he was only one person. If he fell into the Gongshu clan’s formation, he would probably be unable to resist.

Therefore, he didn’t want this benefactor who had done so much for their Qiankun Sect to suffer because of his family’s affairs.

“Brother Chen, since that’s the case, why don’t you stay in the valley? As long as we advance and retreat together, the Gongshu clan won’t be able to do anything to us,” Chu Xiaojing said.

“I’m afraid that won’t work.” Lu Qing shook his head. “I have to go to the ancient pagoda again later.”
