Chapter 262Hearing the voice in his mind, Lu Qing was not surprised. He knew that it was his master using the soul transmission technique to converse with him. This technique could only be used by Precelestial experts with strong soul power. "Miss Hu is somewhat special. I wonder if Master can discern it?" Lu Qing replied using the same soul transmission technique. The old doctor looked at Hu Zezhi, who was chatting warmly with Xiao Yan. He sensed her for a while and finally noticed something unusual. "This girl's aura... seems a bit special?" The old doctor was somewhat uncertain. "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, this Miss Hu should be one of those legendary individuals with great fortune," Lu Qing said. At first, he was also very surprised. If it weren't for the supernatural detection, he wouldn't have believed that Hu Zezhi, a woman with only Qi and Blood Realm cultivation, was a person with great fortune. "A person with great fortune?" The old doctor was shocked. "Are you sure, Ah Qing?" "I am fairly certain," Lu Qing nodded. The old doctor suddenly understood. He naturally wouldn't doubt Lu Qing's words. Lu Qing, with his mysterious inheritance, knew many extraordinary techniques. Observing fortune, though seemingly mystical, wasn't difficult for him. He finally understood why Lu Qing found this girl so different. A person with great fortune was indeed worth paying attention to. "Master, would you be interested in taking another disciple?" Lu Qing continued to transmit. The old doctor was taken aback. "Take a disciple?" "Yes. Since Miss Hu is a person with great fortune, her future accomplishments will surely be significant. If she grows smoothly, she could become a remarkable figure." "But isn't she going to Xuanxin Sect to participate in their disciple selection ceremony? With her fortune, she will likely be chosen easily, right?" "Not necessarily," Lu Qing shook his head slightly. "Apart from the questionable legitimacy of the so-called disciple selection ceremony of Xuanxin Sect, not everyone can see her fortune." More precisely, besides him, it would be difficult for anyone to detect Hu Zezhi's fortune. The concept of fortune was elusive and hard to grasp. Although there were fortune-viewing techniques in immortal cultivation, they required a very high level of mastery. Lu Qing did not believe that in this newly revived spiritual world, anyone could reach such a level. "Let's wait until Miss Hu's leg heals," the old doctor shook his head slightly. He wasn't too keen on taking another disciple, even if it was someone who could achieve great things in the future. He valued a disciple's character and morals more than anything else. Having Lu Qing as his disciple was already enough for him. Seeing his master's lack of interest, Lu Qing didn't insist. He had merely mentioned it in passing. Whether his master wanted to take a disciple or not was his decision. Their conversation was conducted through soul transmission, so Hu Zezhi was unaware that she was considered a legendary person with great fortune. Due to Lu Qing's instructions, Mago did not limit the speed of the carriage. Wrapped in a green aura, the carriage sped along, soon surpassing the caravans and pedestrians ahead of them. This extraordinary scene elicited exclamations. "What happened?" In a large convoy, a curtain was lifted on a luxurious carriage, revealing a handsome face. "Reporting to Young Master, a carriage just sped past us. It was surrounded by a strange green aura, moving extremely fast and very mystical!" A knight in armor reported respectfully, though his eyes still held a trace of shock. He had never seen such a sight. "What? A carriage surrounded by a green aura?" The young man was shocked. "Did you recognize the carriage?" "No, the carriage and horses were entirely shrouded in the green aura, making it hard to discern any details. I could only vaguely see that there were two large horses in front and a man driving the carriage," the armored knight replied. "A wind-riding carriage... Such a legendary thing actually exists? But who could possess such an artifact and be able to activate it?" The young man murmured in disbelief, regretting that he had hidden in the carriage for comfort earlier. If he had been outside, he might have been able to stop the carriage and make an acquaintance. "It seems Grandfather's prediction was correct. Zhongzhou has indeed undergone significant changes. Even a wind-riding carriage has appeared. More extraordinary things might reveal their ancient powers soon. Grandfather predicted great opportunities would arise in Zhongzhou. I wonder if I will have the fortune to seize some of them." Lu Qing didn't know that someone had mistaken his modified carriage for an ancient wind-riding carriage. But he knew that their flamboyant travel would surely attract attention. However, he didn't mind. Their primary goal was to reach the Sacred Mountain quickly. The people they left behind couldn't catch up anytime soon. The carriage hardly stopped, even for meals, which they ate inside. Because of the rich spiritual energy in Zhongzhou, the carriage's formations were more powerful, increasing the speed and making the horses less fatigued. Hu Zezhi grew worried by the afternoon. "Mr. Lu, we've been traveling for so long. Shouldn't we stop to let the horses rest?" "It's fine," Lu Qing smiled. "Our horses are capable of running a thousand miles a day. This distance is nothing for them. Also, Master Ma, who is driving, will stop if they get tired." "I see. I didn't expect your horses to be so extraordinary," Hu Zezhi relaxed after hearing this. Lu Qing smiled but didn't continue the conversation. What he said was true. The horses, already excellent, had been nourished by the formation's power during their journey, enhancing their stamina and strength. He even believed that with continued nourishment, they might eventually gain intelligence and become spirit beasts. Unfortunately, his sect's inheritance lacked methods for nurturing spirit beasts, a specialty of the Beast Taming Sect. Otherwise, he might have found a way to expedite their evolution. As Lu Qing's thoughts wandered, a small creature resembling a snail emerged from a small nest beside him. Xiao Li climbed onto Lu Qing's lap, still sleepy. "Xiao Li, you're awake. Are you hungry?" Lu Qing stroked its head. Xiao Li wagged its tail, indicating it wasn't hungry, without opening its eyes. "Xiao Li, you've been so lazy lately, always sleeping," Xiao Yan teased. But Xiao Li remained sleepy, not playing with Xiao Yan. Lu Qing gently stroked Xiao Li's fur. Since it began practicing the inherited technique in its mind, it had become increasingly sleepy. It slept deeply at night and most of the day. But Lu Qing could feel its growing strength, indicating the technique was effective. He wondered if its sleepiness would worsen or improve once the technique yielded results. Hu Zezhi watched Xiao Li curiously. She had seen the little beast when she boarded the carriage, but it had gone to sleep and missed lunch. Her curiosity grew as she saw Lu Qing and the others talk to it, and it seemed to understand. "Mr. Lu, what is this?" she asked. "Oh, this is Xiao Li, Xiao Yan's playmate and our companion," Lu Qing smiled. "I thought I saw it understand you earlier?" "Yes, Xiao Li can understand us," Lu Qing nodded. "That's amazing. Can I pet it?" Hu Zezhi's eyes lit up.

"Xiao Li doesn't like being touched by strangers." Xiao Li squinted at Hu Zezhi, then turned to snuggle into Lu Qing's arms, continuing to sleep. How noisy, another woman... two-legged creatures really like to meddle... Hu Zezhi: ... Was it her imagination, or did the little beast seem to disdain her? The carriage traveled swiftly until dusk. "Sir, it's getting dark. There's a town ahead. Should we stay there for the night?" Mago's voice came from the front. "Yes, let's enter the town. Miss Hu's leg needs proper rest, and I need to buy some herbs," Lu Qing said. Hu Zezhi felt warm at his words, her face slightly flushed. Mago guided the carriage towards the town. Lu Qing opened the window and looked outside. As they approached, he saw a large stone tablet with the town's name and read softly, "Yunlai Town?" Hu Zezhi, lost in her thoughts, was startled. "Mr. Lu, what did you say?" "I said this town is called Yunlai Town. It's quite an interesting name." "Yunlai Town!" Hu Zezhi's eyes widened. "Mr. Lu, are you sure it's Yunlai Town?" "Come see for yourself. There's a large stone tablet outside the town with the name," Lu Qing made space for her. Despite her injured leg, Hu Zezhi moved to look outside. Seeing the tablet and the town, her eyes widened in shock. "It's really the Yunlai Town my father mentioned. But how is this possible?" "What's the matter, Miss Hu? Is there something wrong with Yunlai Town?" Lu Qing asked. "No, I need to check the map," Hu Zezhi hurriedly took out a parchment map from her bag. Seeing the marked locations, she was stunned. "Miss Hu, what happened?" Lu Qing asked, concerned. The old doctor and Wei Zian were also curious. "Mr. Lu, honestly, did I fall asleep for several days due to my leg injury after boarding the carriage?" "No, you were awake and talking with us. Besides, didn't we leave Azure Dragon City this morning?" Lu Qing replied, confused. "But how could we have traveled from Azure Dragon City to Yunlai Town, three thousand miles away, in just one day?" Hu Zezhi's face showed her disbelief. "So that's why," Lu Qing laughed. "I thought something was wrong with Yunlai Town . I told you, our horses are extraordinary. They can run a thousand miles a day. Let's get off and find a place to stay. Xiao Yan, help Miss Hu." "Got it, Brother," Xiao Yan replied sweetly. "Miss Hu, let's go. I'll help you," Xiao Yan said, helping the still-dazed Hu Zezhi down. "Thank you, Xiao Yan," Hu Zezhi said, still bewildered, as she slowly got off the carriage. She was confused, replaying Lu Qing's words in her mind. Yes, Lu Qing said their horses were extraordinary. But traveling three thousand miles in one day? Did that count as a thousand miles a day? "Miss Hu, I forgot to make you a crutch. Use this stick for now," Lu Qing handed her a thick wooden stick. "Thank you, Mr. Lu," Hu Zezhi accepted it, using it as a crutch to stand steadily. She was a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist, so walking with support was manageable despite her injured leg. But seeing the two horses that had pulled them three thousand miles in a day, calmly grazing on roadside grass, she was again puzzled. Table of content
