I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 717

Chapter 717: As if in childhood, magical powers are comprehended, and the starry sky changes (asking for monthly tickets)

Lu Qing quickly returned to Jiuli Village with Xiao Li.

Arriving at their home, he found Xiao Yan and Han Lingshuang still in seclusion, cultivating.

Judging from their auras, they were clearly refining their primordial blood with remarkable success, their physical strength having increased significantly.

He looked over and saw Bai Jiao and Wu Xing also diligently cultivating nearby.

He didn’t interrupt their practice, instead strolling through the village.

He hadn’t really explored the village in all that time since returning.

This stroll immediately struck Lu Qing as a stark contrast to the changes the village had undergone.

Before he left, he had strengthened the village’s formations, increasing their ability to gather spiritual energy even more powerfully.

Over the past few decades, the village’s spiritual energy had reached an astonishing level.

While still far from the level of sacred spiritual sites like the Holy Mountain, it was comparable to many sects nestled within renowned mountains and rivers.

Nourished by this rich spiritual energy, the village’s vegetation had transformed into spiritual herbs and trees,

lush and verdant, imbuing the entire village with a vibrant vitality.

Under the influence of such spiritual energy and vitality, the villagers were free from illness and disaster, and even without cultivation, their physical fitness remained remarkably healthy and strong.

Newborns generally possess a natural talent for cultivation. Over time, the talents of the generations of Jiuli Village would undoubtedly improve.

It wouldn’t be surprising if a true genius of cultivation emerged in the future.

Xiao Li, standing on Lu Qing’s shoulder, observed the changes around him with delight.

The village’s atmosphere was quite comforting.

Villagers strolling through the village greeted Lu Qing and Xiao Li respectfully upon seeing them.

Nowadays, with the exception of a few elderly residents, the majority of Jiuli Village residents held Lu Qing in deep respect and admiration. This

extended to Xiao Li as well.

Since childhood, they had heard from the village elders that Xiao Li was a spiritual beast, capable of flight and escaping the earth, and incredibly powerful.

Even powerful cultivators outside were no match

for it. Therefore, everyone held it in awe.

Lu Qing had grown accustomed to the villagers’ attitude.

He knew this was inevitable. After all, the younger generations in the village were too unfamiliar to him.

As he walked, Lu Qing came to a small river.

Unknowingly, he came to the small river where he often fished in the past.

But compared to the past, this small river has also changed a lot.

It has become much more beautiful, and even the water flowing in it is clear and transparent, containing spiritual energy.

It can be said that the river water here alone, before the revival of spiritual energy, can be called a treasure. It is a rare spiritual water.

Lu Qing also felt that there were many breaths of living creatures in the small river, and it was obviously the fish swimming in the river.

At this time, Lu Qing felt something in his heart, turned his head and looked, and then saw Xiao Li’s eyes, staring straight into the river.

Obviously, it also sensed the breath of the fish swimming in the river.

Seeing Xiao Li like this, Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, “Xiao Li, we haven’t fished in ages. Why don’t we go for a bit today?”

“Great, great!” Xiao Li’s eyes lit up. “I haven’t had spirit fish in ages!”

Seeing the little fellow so happy, Lu Qing smiled.

Indeed, he hadn’t fished in ages.

Immediately, Lu Qing pulled out the fishing rod he had painstakingly crafted from his Qiankun Qi bag.

He dug a few earthworms from the mud nearby, threaded them onto the hook, and then randomly selected a spot and began fishing.

Xiao Li squatted beside him, staring at the float in the water with anticipation.

Seeing him like this, Lu Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

In reality, with Xiao Li’s current strength as a Jindan-level cultivator, if he wanted to eat spirit fish, he could easily evaporate the river and grab any he wanted.

But Xiao Li seemed to have never considered that.

He never went to the river to catch fish himself, preferring to eat what was already there.

Lu Qing, however, understood.

It was like fishing. With his current level of cultivation, he could, with a single thought, catch every spiritual fish in the river, not even a tiny fry.

But doing so would be utterly pointless, completely ruining the fun of fishing.

So Lu Qing didn’t do that. He even suppressed his spiritual senses, refusing to explore what fish lay beneath the surface. He

relied solely on his n*ked eyes to observe the float, fully savoring the unpredictable thrill of fishing.

Due to the growing concentration of spiritual energy, the red earthworms along the riverbank now imbued themselves with spiritual energy, becoming spiritual insects.

These insects were also a favorite of the spiritual fish in the river. Shortly after Lu Qing lowered his hook, he saw the float tremble before suddenly sinking.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing flicked his wrist, launching a fiery red spiritual fish into the air.

“Hmm, old friend,”

Lu Qing said, raising his eyebrows as he took in the fish’s appearance.

It turned out to be none other than a Red Moon Carp.

Looking at the Red Moon Carp twisting on the hook, Lu Qing’s mind drifted away for a moment.

Back then, the first fish he’d ever caught was a Red Moon Carp.

He hadn’t expected that after all these years, his first time fishing in his home world would be this same fish.

It must be said that there was a certain magical connection between him and the Red Moon Carp.

Of course, the spiritual energy within this Red Moon Carp was far greater than the one he’d caught back then.

It had transcended the realm of a rare fish and become a true spirit fish.

“Ah Qing~”

Just as Lu Qing was dazed, Xiao Li’s voice echoed in his ears.

He turned to see Xiao Li staring at him eagerly.

Lu Qing smiled, casually removed the fish, and tossed it to Xiao Li. The

Red Moon Carp spun a graceful arc, and before it even touched the ground, Xiao Li pounced and grabbed it, devouring it with relish.

Seeing Xiao Li devouring the meal, Lu Qing’s mood brightened.

He put on a new red earthworm and continued fishing.

Perhaps the noise from the Red Moon Carp he had just hooked was a bit too loud, causing some disturbance below.

This time, after the hook was lowered for a while, no spirit fish took the bait. It wasn’t

until half a quarter of an hour later that Lu Qing finally caught another bite.

“Another Red Moon Carp?”

Lu Qing looked speechlessly at the fiery red spirit fish on the hook.

It seemed like there must be a carp nest near this fishing spot.

Of course, Lu Qing didn’t care; as long as he caught a fish, it was a good thing.

He took off the Red Moon Carp and threw it to Xiaoli, who had already finished eating a spirit fish.

“Brother, you and Xiaoli are fishing here. No wonder I sensed your presence just now, but you disappeared all of a sudden.”

Just as Lu Qing was about to set his hook down for the third time, a voice echoed from behind him.

It was Xiaoyan, accompanied by the white dragon, who had also arrived at the riverbank.

She had sensed Lu Qing’s return while in meditation, but she was refining a strand of primordial blood at the time and couldn’t interrupt. She waited

until she had finished refining the primordial blood before emerging to find Lu Qing.

Lu Qing smiled, “I just saw you were both practicing, and I didn’t want to disturb you, so I came out for a walk.”

“Brother, are you done with your retreat?”

Xiaoyan sat down on the grass beside Lu Qing.

As for the white dragon, it approached Xiaoli and curiously watched it eat fish.

Back in the Tianyuan World, it had often heard Xiaoli talk about how Lu Qing used to catch fish for it in their home world, and now it had finally witnessed it with its own eyes.

“Well, I’ve mastered the secret technique I want to cultivate, but this time out of retreat is only temporary. I’ll have to continue my retreat in a few days.”

Lu Qing had much to cultivate.

The [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Destiny Seal] was just one of them.

Next, he needed to cultivate the magical powers of [Great Strength] and [Psychedelic], transforming them to the level of great powers.

He also needed to complete the deduction of the subsequent techniques of the Dollar Divine Law. After all, he had only deduced the first tribulation, which was far from enough. He

also needed to cultivate and master the Soul Realm sword techniques of [Heaven-Splitting Sword Qi] and [Seven Star Sword Formation].

Besides that, he had to refine the elixir he had promised Hu Zezhi. He even wanted to refine the ice-based spiritual herbs he had obtained in Bingpo Valley into elixirs for Xiaoyan and Han Lingshuang.

It was a lot to keep him busy.

Today’s fishing trip was a break from his busy schedule.

“Brother, you’re really busy,”

Xiaoyan wasn’t surprised by Lu Qing’s response.

As a Jindan realm cultivator, she naturally understood the importance of cultivation.

Even she often felt she didn’t have enough time for cultivation, often spending months or even years in seclusion.

Moreover, unlike her, her brother’s cultivation was vast and varied. He knew swordsmanship, talismans, formations, elixirs, and even many other skills she was unaware of.

This meant that his cultivation time was inevitably even tighter.

Honestly, the more Xiaoyan cultivated, the more she admired her brother.

She found the swordsmanship alone difficult and profound enough.

She felt that even if she devoted her entire life to it, she would probably never reach its peak.

Her brother, on the other hand, dabbled in so many things simultaneously, yet he cultivated each one to an incredible, unimaginable degree.

Even in swordsmanship, he

reached a level beyond her reach. She simply couldn’t imagine the depth of her brother’s talent.

“That’s how cultivation works. As your realm rises, the time spent practicing increases, and the workload increases. I’m afraid your brother’s retreats will only get longer and longer. You won’t blame me, will you?”

Lu Qing sighed.

Xiaoyan shook her head. “No, as long as I don’t run off to places I don’t know like I did before.”

“Okay, I promise, even next time I go out, I’ll take you with me.”

The last time he went out, Xiaoyan had taken a radical approach to her cultivation, nearly destroying her foundation.

If they went out again, Lu Qing wouldn’t dare leave Xiaoyan alone in their home world.

Who knows what might happen?

“Okay, then, let’s make a pinky promise.”

Xiaoyan smiled and held out her pinky finger.

“You’re already a Jindan-level cultivator, and you still like to play tricks like this?”

Lu Qing was a little speechless, but he still held out his finger and gently hooked it with Xiaoyan’s.

“After you make the pinky promise, you can’t regret it,” Xiaoyan said happily.

“I’m not a child,” Lu Qing said helplessly.

After playing around with Xiaoyan for a while, Lu Qing returned to his fishing.

Xiaoyan stopped bothering him and sat quietly on the grass, watching him fish.

It was just like the days when she’d been a child, following her brother to the river to fish.

After years of spiritual energy nourishment, the river had indeed become much more populated with spiritual fish.

Then, Lu Qing began his relentless

fishing. He landed spiritual fish after spiritual fish.

After catching five or six red moon carp, he finally began to catch other spiritual fish.

An hour passed, and Lu Qing had landed nearly twenty spiritual fish. Only when there were no more bites did he reluctantly put his line away. Xiao

Li had eaten most of the caught spiritual fish, leaving him feeling a bit full.

Lu Qing planned to take the rest home for a feast that evening.

Sheathing his fishing rod and holding his freshly caught spiritual fish, Lu Qing glanced at the river with a touch of nostalgia.

Indeed, even after reaching the Soul Realm, fishing still held a great deal of joy for him.

Unfortunately, such leisure time was now considered a luxury for him.

However, this fishing trip completely dispelled the mental fatigue he’d endured from practicing the [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Life Chapter] for the past month.

His Dao heart was clear and tranquil, returning to its true peak state.

Upon returning home, Lu Qing saw that Han Lingshuang had also finished refining a strand of Yuan Blood and had emerged from her trance.

He then prepared another spiritual meal using the spiritual fish he had just caught and the ingredients he had collected from the Tianyuan World, stored in his Qiankun Qi bag. He

then went to invite his master down the mountain, and everyone enjoyed a lively meal.

After the meal, as night fell, everyone returned to their rooms to begin their cultivation.

Lu Qing sat cross-legged in his meditation room, concentrating his mind and contemplating his next steps.

After some thought, he decided to cultivate the two magical powers of [Great Strength] and [Psychedelic Power] first.

After all, these two minor powers, while not as useful to him now as they once were,

would transform into greater powers, their power would be earth-shattering.

At that point, his strength would be greatly enhanced.

As for the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method], the first tribulation of cultivation was sufficient for him to cultivate, but he wasn’t in a rush.

Having made his mental decision, Lu Qing began preparing to cultivate.

Of the two magical powers, he chose to comprehend [Great Strength] first.

As the cultivation method for the magical power of [Great Strength] flowed through his mind, Lu Qing activated his supernatural powers and once again entered the deepest level of meditation.

Countless mysteries of the magical power emerged from the depths of his mind, and he quickly understood and absorbed them.

Just as Lu Qing was comprehending the magical power, a mysterious

wave suddenly emanated from a sea of stars in a mysterious sky. (End of this chapter)
