Chapter 228"Father, what did you say?" Fang Rou looked at her father. Dashi and Zhao Qianlin also looked over with puzzled expressions. "I said, old doctor Chen and Young Master Lu went to Yunzhou not because they had important business, but to lure away the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect, so they wouldn't come here and cause more trouble for the residents of Qingfeng Town or hunt us down." "In that case, wouldn't Young Master Lu and the others be in great danger?" Fang Rou's face turned pale. Fang Tao's expression also darkened, filled with regret. "No wonder I felt something was off before. I should have stopped them!" Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Master, old doctor Chen and the others haven't gone far. Should we catch up and stop them now?" Dashi said anxiously. He couldn't bear to watch his benefactor take such a risk. "It's no use," Fang Tao shook his head. "Once they've made up their minds, there's no way we can persuade them. Does Young Master Lu look like someone who easily changes his mind?" Fang Rou and the others remembered Lu Qing's resolute and ruthless demeanor and fell silent. For a warrior as powerful as Lu Qing, his will must be far stronger than that of ordinary people. Once he decided on something, he wouldn't easily waver. "Then, Father, are we just going to watch Young Master Lu and the others enter Yunzhou?" Fang Rou asked unwillingly. "We have no other choice. Old doctor Chen and the others clearly don't want Qingfeng Town to suffer any more calamities. Such a righteous act—what reason do we have to stop them even if we catch up?" Fang Tao sighed. Fang Rou and the others didn't know what to say, staring at the direction where Lu Qing and his group had left, their gazes filled with complex emotions—admiration, shame, and worry. Lu Qing and the others didn't know that Fang Tao had already guessed their intentions for going to Yunzhou. After leaving Qingfeng Town, they followed the map Fang Tao had given them, heading towards Yunzhou. In the evening, when they stopped in a valley by the roadside to rest and cook, Lu Qing approached the old doctor. "Master, there's something I want to discuss with you." The old doctor nodded, and the two of them walked to the other side of the valley. When they were far enough away, the old doctor asked, "A Qing, what do you want to discuss?" Lu Qing said, "Master, the world has changed now. You must have felt it too. There's a peculiar energy in the air, more vibrant and full of life than the spiritual energy. If we can absorb and refine it, it would be greatly beneficial to us cultivators." "Indeed," the old doctor nodded. "This peculiar energy is lively and full of vitality. It's even more extraordinary than spiritual energy. I can feel that if we could capture and refine it, it would be immensely beneficial. But whenever I try to capture it, it slips away." "If I'm not mistaken, that should be spiritual energy. To absorb and refine it, turning it into our own, requires two prerequisites," Lu Qing said. "Two prerequisites? What are they?" the old doctor asked. He wasn't surprised that Lu Qing knew about these things. He knew Lu Qing had received some mysterious inheritance and was more knowledgeable about ancient matters than he was. "The first prerequisite is reaching the Precelestial Realm, with your qi orifice open. The second is knowing a unique method for absorbing qi, called the Art of Absorbing Qi by those ancient cultivators." "The Art of Absorbing Qi?" the old doctor suddenly understood. "No wonder. So, you need a unique cultivation method to refine spiritual energy. This energy is so wondrous and beneficial to the body that it's naturally not easy to refine." "Master, I happen to have a method for absorbing qi. I don't know if it will suit you, but you can take a look and see if it helps." "A Qing, you know the Art of Absorbing Qi?" This time, the old doctor was truly surprised. "I obtained this Art of Absorbing Qi from the same cave where I found the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid. I thought I'd never use it in my lifetime, but now with the revival of spiritual energy, it has finally found its use." "But since it's your inheritance, is it appropriate for you to pass it on to me?" the old doctor hesitated. "It's fine. The inheritance doesn't prohibit me from passing it on to others, and besides, you're not an outsider." Even if there were restrictions, Lu Qing wouldn't care. He planned to pass on the technique from the Li Huo Cauldron inheritance, and since the Li Huo Sect was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago, he was the only inheritor left. He could decide whom to teach. "In that case, I'll shamelessly accept your guidance." The old doctor relaxed upon hearing Lu Qing say it was fine. Moreover, he was very curious about this cultivation method that could refine spiritual energy. "Master, please calm your mind and clear away distractions. Prepare to receive the technique," Lu Qing said seriously. Seeing Lu Qing's serious expression, the old doctor also became solemn and nodded slightly. The two of them sat cross-legged on a large stone in the valley. "Master, forgive my rudeness." Once the old doctor had calmed his mind completely, Lu Qing extended a finger and gently touched his master's brow. Although a bit surprised, the old doctor trusted his disciple completely and let Lu Qing's finger touch his brow. In the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. However, he didn't have time to say anything before he closed his eyes and quietly received the information Lu Qing was transmitting. After a while, when all the information had been transmitted and Lu Qing withdrew his finger, the old doctor opened his eyes and looked at Lu Qing in amazement. "Pouring wisdom directly into the soul, A Qing, your soul power is already this strong?" The old doctor couldn't help but be astonished. From the contact just now, he realized Lu Qing's soul power was stronger than his own. The soul techniques Lu Qing had displayed were beyond his current ability. But his disciple hadn't even reached the Precelestial Realm yet! "I've had some encounters recently, and my soul power has significantly increased," Lu Qing said with a smile. The old doctor was speechless. He couldn't imagine what kind of encounters could allow a Postnatal warrior to possess soul power far stronger than that of an ordinary Precelestial warrior. Could this be the terrifying aspect of being a Child of Fortune? The old doctor couldn't help but start to believe Wei Shanhai's frequent assertions that his disciple was a Child of Fortune. "Master, I've transmitted the entire 'Fire and Water Breathing Technique' to you. Please study it and see if you gain anything." Lu Qing continued smiling. The old doctor nodded and closed his eyes, beginning to study the technique Lu Qing had passed on. Seeing his master engrossed in the technique, Lu Qing's gaze finally revealed a trace of fatigue. Transmitting a technique like this seemed simple but was actually quite strenuous. Such soul techniques were usually only within the capabilities of advanced Precelestial warriors. It was only because he had condensed a soul rune, cultivated the Furnace Visualization Method to the second level, and mastered various soul power techniques that he could barely manage it. But after transmitting the technique, he couldn't help feeling exhausted. He had acted nonchalant so his master wouldn't notice, but now that his master was meditating, the fatigue hit him. Fortunately, Lu Qing had the Earth Spirit Pearl. The Earth Spirit Pearl in his brow acupoint rotated slowly, and with each rotation, it alleviated his soul's fatigue. Within dozens of breaths, he felt the mental fatigue completely disappear. Moreover, he keenly sensed that as the fatigue dissipated, the resilience of his soul power seemed to increase slightly. "Hmm?" Lu Qing's thoughts stirred, and he looked thoughtful for a moment. But he quickly dismissed these thoughts. Because he felt a sudden movement in the spiritual energy around him, and the source of the disturbance was his master. Table of contentNext Chapter >>>
