I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 706

Chapter 706 Golden Silk Dragon Tooth Rice

“Uncle Zhang?”

Lu Qing asked uncertainly when he saw the old man’s face clearly.

The old man shuddered and raised his head. When he saw Lu Qing, the wooden basin in his hand suddenly fell down.

“Is it, is it Ah Qing?”

Uncle Zhang’s eldest son, also known as Uncle Zhang, looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

“It’s me, Uncle Zhang, I’m back.”

Lu Qing walked forward and gently supported the old man.

“It’s really Ah Qing, you’re back!”

“I, old man, thought I would never see you come back in this lifetime.”

Feeling the warmth in Lu Qing’s hand, the old man realized that this was not a dream, but Lu Qing was really back.

All of a sudden, his eyes became moist.

“I was wondering who came to clean up every day, and it turned out to be you, Uncle Zhang.”

Lu Qing supported Uncle Zhang and walked into the house.

“I’m old, and now I don’t have to work in the fields. I don’t have much to do, so I’ve come here to clean the tables and chairs. You’re all gone, so I can’t let the old house fall into disrepair,”

Uncle Zhang muttered as he walked.

Lu Qing listened intently, not telling Uncle Zhang that he had set up a formation around the old house, ensuring it wouldn’t fall into disrepair even after decades or centuries.

Entering the house, Uncle Zhang was overjoyed to see Xiaoyan and Xiaoli.

“Xiaoyan and Xiaoli are back too! Great, everyone’s home.”

“Uncle Zhang.”

Xiaoyan, seeing the old man, hurried over to help him.

“Great, that’s great.”

Uncle Zhang looked at Xiaoyan with a pleased smile.

In the past, before Xiaoyan left to take charge of the Holy Mountain, everyone in the village could see the change in her.

But no one could do anything about it.

Now that Lu Qing had returned, Xiaoyan was happy too, and Uncle Zhang was genuinely relieved.

“Who is this?”

Uncle Zhang, upon seeing Han Lingshuang standing nearby, was initially struck by her stunning beauty before asking.

“This is Han Lingshuang, Palace Master of Hanshui Palace, one of the Four Great Secret Sites,” Lu Qing introduced.

“Greetings, Mr. Zhang,” Han Lingshuang bowed gracefully.

Although she could clearly see the old man before her was merely an ordinary, elderly man,

seeing how friendly Lu Qing and Xiaoyan were, she didn’t dare to be rude.

“Well, well, you’re all good children.”

Uncle Zhang, having rarely left Jiuli Village, naturally had little knowledge of the Four Great Secret Sites.

But seeing such a beautiful girl come to Ah Qing’s place, and so politely, he was genuinely delighted.

Little did he know, Han Lingshuang’s true age was likely even older than his.

Uncle Zhang then inquired about Lu Qing’s whereabouts and why he hadn’t returned in all those years.

Lu Qing briefly recounted his adventures exploring the starry sky, leaving the old man stunned.

He had originally assumed that Lu Qing, having been absent for years, was in seclusion in some distant land, cultivating.

He hadn’t expected Lu Qing to actually leave this world and enter the starry sky above, exploring other worlds.

“Ah Qing, you’re truly an immortal now, capable of soaring through the stars. No, even the immortals in the stories and plays don’t seem to possess such a power!”

The old man couldn’t imagine what that would be like, but he knew it was something only a true immortal could achieve.

On the other hand, Lu Qing’s appearance had remained unchanged over the years, remaining youthful. The old man wasn’t particularly surprised.

After all, Xiaoyan and the old doctor in the village had also remained unchanged.

Everyone knew that, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, practitioners could achieve eternal youth.

“Uncle Zhang, you’re right. I’m still a long way from being a true immortal,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

The others chatted with Uncle Zhang for a while, and then the old man began to get up.

“Well, since you have guests, Ah Qing, I won’t bother you any further. Ah Qing, can you tell the villagers about your return?”

“Of course,” Lu Qing nodded. “This time I’m back, I won’t be leaving for quite a while.”

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Uncle Zhang smiled. “Then I’ll go back and tell everyone. You’ve been away for so many years, and many younger generations have grown up hearing your stories. They all admire you so much. They’ll be happy to know you’re back.” “Uncle Zhang, please

take care of the arrangements.”

After Uncle Zhang left, Xiaoyan looked at Lu Qing. “Brother, Uncle Zhang’s health…”

“No problem. I just checked, and Uncle Zhang is still strong. He shouldn’t have any problem living for a few more years. I’ll help him recuperate when I have time, and he should be fine.”

Earlier, while supporting Uncle Zhang, Lu Qing had quietly checked on his condition.

He knew that despite his age, the old man was in good health and nothing serious was wrong.

“That’s good.”

Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, she had seen off many elderly people in the village.

There were only a few familiar elders left in the village.

Uncle Zhang was already one of their closest relatives.

After relaxing, Xiaoyan suddenly asked, “Brother, what are we eating tonight? I’m craving your cooking.”

“You’re already a sixth-level Jindan immortal, and you’re still so greedy,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“But Xiaoyan hasn’t had your cooking in years,” Xiaoyan said coquettishly.

“Cooking isn’t that simple. I happen to have some special ingredients, so I’ll make you some spiritual food.”

Lu Qing was just teasing his sister, so he naturally wouldn’t refuse her request.

“Spiritual food?” Xiaoyan’s curiosity piqued.

Han Lingshuang also looked curious.

“This is a cooking method developed by practitioners in other cultivation worlds. You’ll see once I make it.”

Lu Qing immediately entered the kitchen and prepared to cook.

Since he was going to prepare spiritual food, the existing kitchen utensils were naturally unsuitable.

Lu Qing directly pulled out some magical utensils and cooking utensils he had refined in his spare time over the years from his Qiankun Yiqi bag and set to work.

In less than an hour, he had prepared a table full of delicious food.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up at the aroma of the food.

“Alright, dinner’s ready. Xiaoyan, go and invite Master over.”

Lu Qing placed another dish on the table.

“Okay!”

Xiaoyan immediately transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Soon, she summoned the old doctor.

“Ah Qing, Xiaoyan said your cooking was delicious and insisted I come,” the old doctor said with a smile.

“Well, I’ve learned some rather unique cooking techniques and obtained some unusual ingredients while out there, so I wanted you, Master, to try them too.”

Lu Qing invited the old doctor to the main seat.

“Oh, cooking techniques from other worlds? I’d love to see them,” the old doctor said with interest.

“You all take a seat. I’ll bring out the food, and we can eat.”

Lu Qing entered the kitchen and brought out a large pot. As he lifted the lid, a strange fragrance instantly filled the room.

The old doctor sniffed the fragrant aroma of rice and was suddenly stunned, looking into the pot.

“Ah Qing, this rice…”

He saw that the rice in the pot was clearly grained, each one half an inch long, like a dragon’s tooth.

Crystal clear, with strands of golden color, it looked extremely beautiful.

More importantly, just by smelling the aroma of rice, he felt that his injuries had improved a little.

You have to know that he is now a cultivator in the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm. Just a whiff of rice fragrance can make his injuries better.

It can be imagined that the pot of rice that Lu Qing brought out must be extremely extraordinary.

“This is rice cooked from a spiritual rice called Golden Thread Dragon Tooth Rice,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “This spiritual rice is quite rare, imbued with a unique spiritual aura. It has a nourishing effect even on those with great powers, even those with great spirits. I was lucky enough to obtain some, and I’m happy to share it with everyone.”

In fact, Lu Qing obtained this Golden Thread Dragon Tooth Rice from the magical storage device of a powerful being in the Spirit Realm.

In the Tianyuan World, Lu Qing had slain many beings in the Spirit Realm and Golden Core Realm, and even looted the treasury of the second branch of the Gongshu family. He

had acquired countless treasures,

including various magical weapons, elixirs, and

spirit stones, as well as many other treasures. He had acquired over a dozen different varieties of spiritual rice alone, and this Golden Thread Dragon Tooth Rice was one of the highest grades.

“Golden Thread Dragon Tooth Rice, a spiritual rice that has nourishing effects even for those with great spirits?”

The old doctor and the others were immediately enthralled by the news.

Xiaoyan quickly served everyone a meal, even Wu Xing and Bai Jiao.

Of course, the two great spirit beasts had shrunk in size; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to enter the house.

After the meal was served, everyone looked at the old doctor.

He understood their intentions and smiled, then lifted his bowl. “Alright, we’re all family, so let’s not worry about formalities. Let’s eat.”

He then took a mouthful of the Golden Dragon Tooth Rice and began to eat.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

The old doctor took a mouthful of the spirit rice, and with just a chew, he was filled with a fragrant, sweet, and delicious aroma.

A few breaths after the mouthful was swallowed, he felt a strange aura rising from his abdomen. It circulated through his body several times, and his injuries, which had originally required a period of rest and healing, suddenly improved significantly.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyan was in the same situation.

To fight the three demons, she had previously used a secret technique that depleted her essence, forcibly increasing her strength.

After eating two mouthfuls of the Golden Thread Dragon Tooth Rice, the rich spiritual nourishment made up for most of her lost essence.

As for Han Lingshuang, it goes without saying.

She felt that this Golden Thread Dragon Tooth Rice was more magical than any panacea she had ever eaten.

After only two mouthfuls, she felt that her cultivation had improved a little.

“Master, how is this Golden Thread Dragon Tooth Rice? It’s pretty good, right?” Lu Qing asked.

“It’s worthy of being a spiritual rice favored by even the great spirits.” The old doctor sighed, “Ah Qing, you can obtain such a treasure, I believe you must have put in a lot of effort. Come on, now that we have time, tell us in detail what the outside world is like?”

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyan and Han Lingshuang also pricked up their ears. (End of this chapter)
