I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 723

Chapter 723: Seizing Heaven’s Fortune, the Immortal Pill
“A true breakthrough?”
Everyone was stunned as the Laws of Heaven and Earth descended, enveloping Madam Wei in its primordial energy.
He had instantly transformed a centenarian, unskilled in cultivation, into a master of the Innate Realm, adding two hundred years to her lifespan.
Lu Qing’s feat was truly a feat of divine intervention, a feat worthy of a deity!
Wei Xinghe and Wei Zi’an, father and son, were especially thrilled.
They were the two most delighted by Madam Wei
‘s advancement to the Innate Realm. The rich primordial energy of Heaven and Earth completely engulfed Madam Wei.
Lu Qing stood guard, protecting her from the fluctuations of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
After all, this was merely a breakthrough to the Innate Realm. Such celestial might was nothing to him, not even a gentle breeze.
After two quarters of an hour, the fluctuations of the Laws of Heaven and Earth gradually faded, and the primordial energy enveloping Madam Wei dissipated.
When she emerged, her entire appearance had changed.
A faint aura of innate wisdom emanated from her. Her once-gray hair had turned jet-black, her facial wrinkles completely vanished, and her skin became smooth and firm.
She looked like she was in her thirties, just as she had when Lu Qing first met her and Wei Zian.
This scene left everyone stunned.
Madam Wei had not only entered the innate realm, but had even regained her youth, returning to her youthful appearance.
“Mother, how are you feeling?”
Wei Zian asked cautiously, a little dazed at the sight of his rejuvenated mother.
As for Wei Xinghe, he was completely stunned at the sight of his rejuvenated wife.
“I feel great,”
Madam Wei herself found it incredible.
Before taking the elixir, her cultivation in the Inner Viscera realm had kept her from looking old, but she could still conceal the desolate air of her limited lifespan.
But now, she was filled with vitality, a vibrant energy within her, as if she had completely changed her body.
The flow of innate true energy made her feel a power she had never felt before.
“So this is zhenqi! The power you normally possess is so miraculous.”
Madam Wei marveled as she felt the zhenqi within her.
“Madam, you’ve just achieved a breakthrough. You’ll need to spend some time consolidating your cultivation in the coming days,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
“But, but I don’t know how to practice,” Madam Wei said, somewhat bewildered.
“No problem. I’ll teach you a method of refining qi. It’s simple, and you don’t need exceptional talent to practice it. Madam, just practice regularly and you’ll increase your cultivation.”
Lu Qing spoke, then gently pointed a finger at the spot between Madam Wei’s eyebrows.
The next moment, Madam Wei felt a surge of information flooding her mind, forcing her to close her eyes and absorb it.
Simultaneously, the innate zhenqi within her body began to flow involuntarily, following this realization.
When a full cycle of circulation was complete, Madam Wei was astonished to discover that she had memorized the technique’s path.
She couldn’t help but practice it over and over again, following the path she had just memorized.
Unbeknownst to her, Lu Qing’s finger had already left her brow.
As the technique completed nine cycles, a faint wisp of spiritual energy appeared in her Dantian Qi Sea.
“Ah Qing, this is…”
Madam Wei opened her eyes, bewildered.
“Congratulations, Madam, you have mastered the Changqing Gong and become a true Qi Refiner,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
“Changqing Gong?”
“Yes, the technique I just passed on to you is called Changqing Gong. It’s a method that focuses on physical conditioning. It’s simple to begin with, easy to understand, and very easy to master. It’s
also not difficult to practice. With diligent practice, you’ll reap the rewards.
This technique has the effect of prolonging life and maintaining youth.
The downside is that it lacks power. If used against an enemy, it’s much weaker than ordinary techniques.”
“Prolonging life and maintaining youth?”
Madam Wei’s eyes lit up at Lu Qing’s words.
Even Hu Zezhi’s expression shifted slightly.
“Well, Madam, if you practice diligently and perfect this technique to the Qi Refining stage, you can even break through the normal Qi Refining stage lifespan and add another fifty years to your lifespan.
However, Changqing’s spiritual power is relatively weak and not suitable for use against enemies. Please keep this in mind, Madam,”
Lu Qing warned.
“That’s enough, that’s enough. I don’t fight well, so even if the power is great, it’s useless to me,”
Madam Wei said quickly, delighted.
She then stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Qing. “Ah Qing, thank you so much for giving this old woman another life. I truly don’t know how to repay you for this kindness.”
“Yes, Brother Lu, thank you so much for devoting so much of your time to helping my mother break through to the Xiantian realm,”
Wei Zian also hurriedly thanked Lu Qing.
Wei Xinghe also bowed deeply. “Thank you, young master, for your kindness in giving my wife a new life.”
“You’re welcome,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “It’s just a small favor. It didn’t take much energy for me.”
Lu Qing wasn’t saying this to comfort the others. Helping Madam Wei break through earlier had indeed taken very little energy from him.
The elixir he had just given Madam Wei was a unique elixir from beyond the stars, called the Absolute Immortal Elixir.
Its primary function was to forcibly open up all the acupoints in the body of a mortal in the Postnatal Realm, allowing him to reach the Xiantian Qi Refining Realm, where all meridians are unblocked.
However, this elixir also carries significant risks.
As its name suggests, using it to achieve a breakthrough is a method of forcing growth. After achieving a breakthrough, one’s potential will be severely compromised.
From then on, further breakthroughs will be impossible, effectively severing one’s path to immortality, making it impossible to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
Legend has it that the Absolute Immortal Elixir was invented by a Soul Realm alchemist from a certain small world.
This Soul Realm alchemist was a deeply sentimental individual. In his youth, before embarking on the path of cultivation, he had a mortal wife.
They were deeply in love. Later, a passing Immortal Master spotted this Soul Realm alchemist, who, realizing his exceptional aptitude for cultivation, offered him a disciple and brought him back to the mountain gate to cultivate. However,
the Soul Realm alchemist, deeply attached to his wife and reluctant to part with her, flatly refused.
Consequently, the Master forcibly abducted him and made him his disciple, promising that if he diligently cultivated, he would be reunited with his wife upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
Determined to reunite with his wife soon, the alchemist practiced day and night. After decades, he finally succeeded in building his foundation and attained considerable proficiency in alchemy, earning him the opportunity to return home.
However, upon his return, he discovered his wife, already gray-haired and aging, her days numbered.
Undeterred, the alchemist sought to restore his wife’s youth and prolong her life.
He brought her back to the sect, poring over its texts and incorporating his own natural talent for alchemy.
Eventually, he successfully developed an elixir capable of transforming a mortal into an immortal.
Sadly, before he could refine the elixir, his wife succumbed to the ravages of time and passed away.
The alchemist was devastated by the loss of his beloved wife. A Foundation Establishment cultivator, his hair had turned white overnight.
After burying his wife, he returned to the sect to devote himself to cultivation.
Perhaps his wife’s passing severed his last ties to the world, bringing a profound spiritual uplift.
The alchemist’s potential was fully unleashed, and his cultivation progressed at an incredible pace. In a short period of time, he achieved a series of breakthroughs, achieving the Golden Elixir stage.
He then overcame the Soul Tribulation in just two hundred years, becoming the youngest cultivator in the sect to reach the Soul Realm.
This greatly pleased the alchemist’s master, the immortal master who had abducted him and the sect’s leader, deeply proud of his decision.
Had he not had a sudden inspiration, deliberately creating obstacles and using his disciple’s mortal wife as a target for his spiritual cultivation,
how could the disciple have severed his mortal ties, attained a pure Dao heart, and comprehended the truth that the Great Dao is ruthless, only the immortal path is eternal?
Just as the sect leader was brimming with pride, pondering how to train his disciple to become the next leader of the sect, tragedy struck.
On a bloody night, a strange poison consumed the sect’s disciples and elders, wiping them all out overnight.
Even the sect leader was assassinated after being poisoned.
The culprit behind this tragedy was none other than his prized disciple, the alchemist.
After his wife’s death, the alchemist harbored an immense hatred for his master, who had abducted him.
This hatred fueled his relentless pursuit of cultivation, his
goal to avenge his master once he became powerful enough.
He knew his master cared deeply about the sect, so he determined to destroy everything he held dear, to make him feel the bittersweetness of despair.
Ultimately, he succeeded.
His fellow disciples, who had spent their days together, were completely unprepared and were silently poisoned with his meticulously researched elixir.
Even his master, caught off guard, was poisoned and ultimately killed by his own hands.
Lu Qing pondered the legend of the Absolute Immortal Elixir.
He had read about it in a text on alchemy left by a master in the Soul Realm.
According to the text, after the master destroyed his own sect, he himself exploded and perished.
However, before committing suicide, he recorded the reasons for all events in a jade slip and left behind all his life’s learning.
These relics were eventually obtained by other sects who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, revealing the entire story of the extermination.
The method for refining the Absolute Immortal Pill was also passed down through the ages.
Lu Qing’s initial reaction to this story was mixed.
He couldn’t judge the right or wrong of the incident, only feeling that the world’s unpredictable events were sometimes truly lamentable.
Of course, these thoughts remained in Lu Qing’s mind; he kept the legend of the Absolute Immortal Pill to himself.
While the Absolute Immortal Pill wasn’t of high rank, its value was considerable, requiring the refinement of a variety of spiritual herbs.
He had even obtained this one from the collection of a powerful Yuanshen master.
Unfortunately, the Absolute Immortal Pill’s use was subject to certain restrictions.
The user must possess a certain foundation of Qi and Blood, at least reaching the late stage of the Acquired Realm.
Otherwise, ordinary mortals would be unable to withstand the potent potency of the pill.
Therefore, an elderly person like Uncle Zhang, lacking any cultivation, couldn’t use the elixir.
Lu Qing had no solution; he wasn’t omnipotent after all.
“Regardless, Brother Lu, your kindness to our family is truly immense. We, the Wei family, can never repay you in this lifetime,”
Wei Zi’an said with immense gratitude.
“We’ve known each other for so many years, this little thing is nothing.”
Lu Qing smiled and stood up.
“Okay, I’ve finished my work, and it’s time to go back. Zi’an, practice hard. When you break through to the Golden Core Realm, I’ll have a gift for you, too.”
“Brother Lu, I’ll see you off,” Wei Zi’an said hurriedly.
The others also stood up.
Lu Qing waved his hand, “No need. Why send me off for such a short distance? I’m leaving now.”
With that, he transformed into a stream of light and flew out, heading towards his home.
“Ah Qing, this is truly…”
Mrs. Wei was surprised that Lu Qing would leave so suddenly. She didn’t have time to express her gratitude, so she could only sigh.
“Young Master Lu used to be afraid of trouble, and it seems he hasn’t changed after all these years.” Wei Shanhai sighed.
The people from the Wei family stayed for a while before saying goodbye to Hu Zezhi.
When they returned to their own courtyard, the servants at home were naturally in an uproar when they saw Madam Wei, who had regained her youth.
But all this had nothing to do with Lu Qing.
After he returned home, he saw Xiaoyan and the others just waking up from their meditation.
“You’re awake? That’s great, I have something for you.”
Lu Qing called Xiaoyan and Han Lingshuang over.
“Brother, what good stuff is it?”
Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up when she heard it.
“I’ve refined some pills these days.”
Lu Qing took out a few jade bottles.
“These two bottles of elixirs are filled with ice-type elixirs, which can increase your cultivation. You are practicing ice-type techniques, so they are just right for you. As for this jade bottle, it contains an elixir that can increase the grade of the golden elixir. It is for you, Palace Master Han.”
“Ice-type elixir?” Xiaoyan happily took the jade bottle. “So, brother, you have been refining elixirs in the quiet room these days. No wonder I always feel like I can smell the fragrance of medicine.”
“Your Excellency, how can I use such precious elixirs?”
Han Lingshuang was a little panicked and didn’t dare to take it.
“It’s okay. These things are useless to me. Using them to increase your cultivation is the best way to put them to good use.”
Without further ado, Lu Qing placed the jade bottle in Han Lingshuang’s hands, forcing her to take it.
“Then Lingshuang, thank you very much
, Your Excellency.” Han Lingshuang bowed gracefully before putting the jade bottle away.
“No need for formalities,” Lu Qing nodded, then added, “By the way, Xiaoyan, I’m going into retreat again, so I might not be able to cook for you for a while.”
“It’s okay, brother, you can go on retreat. I also need to refine the elixir you gave me,” Xiaoyan said readily.
“Okay, just be careful. Even though you have the Mysterious Ice Cold Flame, don’t refine too many elixirs in a short period of time, or you’ll accumulate elixir poison.”
“I understand.”
After Lu Qing gave some more instructions, he prepared to leave for the Jade Transformation Cavern for retreat.
But before leaving, Xiaoli jumped onto his shoulder, asking to join him in retreat.
Lu Qing wouldn’t refuse, and soon he took Xiaoli to the Jade Transformation Cavern.
Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Lu Qing began to concentrate and calm his mind.
This time, he had finally finished all his chores, and his mind had returned to peak condition. He
could now fully focus on comprehending the [Psychedelic] divine power, elevating this minor divine power of the soul to the level of a major divine power.
As Lu Qing entered a state of meditation, his mind once again sensed the sea of laws. (End of this chapter)
