Chapter 249"You're giving this divine weapon to me?" Looking at the black long staff Lu Qing handed over, Wei Zian was stunned. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "That's right, you're the only one among us who uses a staff. This divine weapon is perfect for you," Lu Qing said with a smile. "But... it's too valuable," Wei Zian hesitated. It wasn't that Wei Zian didn't want it, but divine weapons were indeed extremely valuable. One must know that in the entire Wei family, only the ancestor had a divine weapon. Even his father, the family head, did not possess one. Now, Lu Qing was offering him a divine weapon, and Wei Zian really didn't dare to accept it. "It's fine. After all, it's something we got for free. If we don't use it, it's a waste. Since you're the only one skilled in using a staff, who else would we give it to? Just take it," Lu Qing placed the long staff in Wei Zian's hands. Seeing Lu Qing's insistence, Wei Zian reluctantly accepted the long staff. But his expression still seemed somewhat dazed, as if he couldn't believe that he had so easily obtained a divine weapon. Feeling the cool and comfortable texture of the staff, he began to wonder if he was dreaming. "However, although the divine weapon is good, with your current realm, you still can't fully utilize its power. For now, it's best to nourish and familiarize yourself with it using your qi and blood. It's not suitable for fighting yet. When you become an Internal Organs Realm martial artist in the future, this divine weapon will become a great help to you," Lu Qing reminded as he saw Wei Zian's fondness for the staff. A divine weapon was no ordinary item. Even the most basic divine weapon had some characteristics of a magical artifact. With Wei Zian's current cultivation, he couldn't yet handle it. "I'll remember that," Wei Zian responded solemnly. Driving the carriage, Mago heard the conversation inside and smiled. Wei Zian was his only direct disciple, and as his master, Mago was naturally very happy that Wei Zian had obtained a divine weapon. "By the way, Ah Qing, what kind of power did you use earlier when you fought the sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect? It seemed quite strange," the old doctor suddenly asked after Lu Qing had finished instructing Wei Zian. He was quite surprised by the power Lu Qing had displayed in his battle with Mo Zhen. Before, with an outsider like the swordsman present, it wasn't convenient to ask, but now he could finally inquire. "That's a power I recently mastered," Lu Qing stretched out his hand, revealing a faint yellow light. "I once obtained a treasure, and with the recent changes in the world, I refined a part of it, gaining this ability." With that, Lu Qing flipped his hand and pressed down lightly. Everyone in the carriage felt an invisible force pressing down on them, making their bodies feel slightly heavier. Of course, Lu Qing only wanted them to feel it slightly, so he didn't exert too much force. Otherwise, the horses wouldn't be able to bear it. "This power..." the old doctor showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He could feel that this heaviness wasn't an illusion; his body had indeed become heavier. "This is the force of magnetism, a type of earth power, similar to the gravity of the earth. However, it is under my control and can change direction at will," Lu Qing explained, lifting his hand slightly, and the force instantly changed, lifting them up as if they were about to float. "Magnetic force? This power is indeed extraordinary. Even among earth powers, it is quite rare. Not even some Innate Grandmaster experts specializing in earth-based true qi may be able to master this," the old doctor praised after feeling it. The others were equally amazed. Especially Xiaoyan, who opened her eyes wide. "Brother, Xiaoyan feels so light. If it gets lighter, will I be able to fly?" "It's not that easy. But if you want to learn to fly, it's not impossible," Lu Qing smiled. "Can Xiaoyan really learn to fly?" The little girl opened her eyes even wider. Wei Zian also looked over in disbelief. Can humans really fly? As far as he knew, even Innate Realm experts couldn't fly. The old doctor, however, seemed to have thought of something, his mind stirring slightly. "But learning to fly is not easy. You have to endure a lot of hardships. Do you still want to learn?" Lu Qing asked seriously. "Xiaoyan wants to learn!" The little girl immediately shouted without any hesitation. "Alright, from tomorrow onwards, I'll start teaching you the technique to fly," Lu Qing said with a smile. Originally, he planned to wait a few more days until they reached Zhongzhou, where they wouldn't have to rush around, before teaching Xiaoyan to cultivate. But the gains from the Flowing Cloud Sect made him change his mind. Since he had the Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid, Xiaoyan's cultivation could be advanced. "Ah Qing, you've decided to teach Xiaoyan to cultivate?" the old doctor asked. "Yes, Master. I obtained some items from the treasure hall of the Flowing Cloud Sect that can aid Xiaoyan's cultivation," Lu Qing replied. The old doctor nodded. But he was also curious. He had mentioned Xiaoyan's cultivation several times, but Lu Qing always said the time wasn't right. Now that Lu Qing was ready to let Xiaoyan cultivate, he was curious about what method Lu Qing would teach her. Wei Zian, hearing this, finally understood that Lu Qing was using the promise of flying to spark Xiaoyan's interest in cultivation. It seemed that the so-called flying technique was probably something Lu Qing had made up. The carriage moved forward steadily, occasionally bumping due to the uneven ground. After several battles, the old doctor was quite exhausted and closed his eyes to rest and regain his energy. Seeing this, Wei Zian and Xiaoyan also quietly stopped talking. With a precious treasure on him that constantly nourished his body, Lu Qing didn't feel tired. However, seeing that the carriage was quiet, he closed his eyes and immersed his mind into his brow acupoint. In his brow acupoint, the Earth Spirit Pearl occupied the center, like a brown star, radiating a heavy and majestic aura, rotating slowly. Surrounding it were five differently colored light clusters. A tiny but extremely mysterious soul rune was fixed at the center of the Earth Spirit Pearl, controlling everything within the acupoint. In Lu Qing's perception, the Earth Spirit Pearl, with its heavy and majestic aura, rotated slowly. But each rotation was like a heavenly grindstone, grinding away the impurities within his body. This continuous enhancement of his flesh and soul power had made his physical strength and soul power double since he left Jiuli Village. Lu Qing estimated that with his current strength, he could easily kill that old woman from the Zheng family with just his flesh and blood power, without needing any other tricks. Similarly, the enhancement of his soul power allowed him to further refine and control the Earth Spirit Pearl. He had already refined most of the Earth Spirit Pearl, and the day of complete control was not far off. This further control of the Earth Spirit Pearl also allowed him to master more of its abilities. In the Flowing Cloud Sect, he used the magnetic force, which was one of its abilities. The magnetic force was extraordinary, and even Lu Qing couldn't fully explain its essence. If he had to compare, it was somewhat like controlling gravity. However, the magnetic force he could control now wasn't very strong. He estimated that it could only restrain a newly advanced Innate expert. If a stronger expert like Mo Zhen exerted full power, it wouldn't hold. Moreover, its range wasn't large, only about ten feet. For Lu Qing's strength, it wasn't a trump card but was quite useful for dealing with weaker opponents. Of course, if he could completely refine the Earth Spirit Pearl, the magnetic force would greatly increase, becoming a terrifying killing move. "I can feel that in ten days or so, my physical and soul power will reach another peak. By then, it will be about time to reach Zhongzhou. I wonder if I can find my opportunity there. If not, I'll break through to the Innate Realm directly." Lu Qing pondered silently. His strength had long reached the point where he could enter the Innate Realm at any time. However, some intuition told him that it wasn't the best time for a breakthrough, so he kept suppressing his realm. Later, with the Earth Spirit Pearl, his physical and soul power broke through the limit again, allowing further enhancement. He postponed the breakthrough to the Innate Realm. Now, his physical and soul power were about to peak again. Moreover, Lu Qing felt that this time he would reach true perfection. Even with more powerful spiritual medicines or treasures, his physical and soul power might not improve further. To become stronger, he would have to step into the Innate Realm. So he decided that after reaching this peak, if he didn't find the opportunity, he would break through directly. The path of cultivation required opportunities, but the determination to advance was equally important. Hesitation and wavering were detrimental to cultivation. If he kept suppressing his realm for a vague opportunity, it would harm his cultivation mindset. Understanding this, Lu Qing's mind suddenly cleared. His soul power in the brow acupoint also became livelier, with an indescribable quality. Lu Qing was slightly stunned, then realized. "I didn't expect that just understanding this would lead to a small enlightenment, making my soul power purer and livelier. It seems the ancient saying to reflect on oneself thrice daily is truly wise." This small enlightenment further strengthened Lu Qing's decision . Time flew by, and after nearly two hours of travel, the sky began to darken. Passing by a village, Lu Qing and his companions spent some silver to rent a house from a wealthy farmer for the night. While Lu Qing and the others were busy arranging their night's stay. In a mysterious place. There were towering mountains, ancient temples, flowing clouds, flying cranes, and a fairyland atmosphere. On a majestic mountain, halfway up, in front of a jade palace complex, was a large square. At this moment, on the square, an elderly man in a white robe with high hair bun, white hair and beard, and an immortal demeanor, was gazing at the clouds, lost in thought. Soon, footsteps were heard, and a tall, stout old man with black hair and beard, wearing a black robe, approached. "Senior brother, what are you thinking?" "I was wondering if, now that the world has changed and spiritual energy has reappeared, our sect should prepare to re-enter the world." "Senior brother, has the time come?" the black-haired old man was surprised but delighted. "The time for us has not yet come," the immortal-like old man shook his head. "Although the world has changed, the rules are still evolving and not yet perfect. If we go out now, we won't gain opportunities but might be suppressed by the rules, damaging our foundation." "But you just said..." the black-haired old man was puzzled. "The time for us has not come, but the opportunities for the younger generation are about to arrive." The immortal-like old man's eyes showed a mysterious light as he gazed at the sky. "If I'm not mistaken, in half a month, the world's rules will evolve to a certain degree. At that time, the first great opportunity will appear, and whoever seizes it will become a true favored child of heaven. They will lay the strongest foundation for their immortal path and gain a true advantage in this era of great strife. In the future, becoming an immortal and ancestor will not be impossible." "Is there such a thing? Senior brother, what is this great opportunity?" The black-haired old man was shocked and quickly asked. "I don't know the specifics. I only gained this insight from the ancestral records and my calculations. According to the records, each great change in the world brings a great opportunity, which is not fixed. Only when it appears will people know what it is." The immortal-like old man sighed. "Can't we seize this opportunity ourselves?" the black-haired old man asked. "No," the immortal-like old man shook his head. "The world has a spirit and won't let all opportunities be monopolized. This is for the young cultivators. If we go out, the world's rules will suppress us immediately. Even if we seize the opportunity, it will be a Pyrrhic victory." Table of content
