Chapter 252: Traveling Thousand Miles a Day, the Wind-Ride Car

“Brother Lu Qing, what should we do next?”

Ma Gu asked, after he had harnessed the carriage to a fairly smooth stretch of road.

The old doctor, Wei Zi’an, and Xiao Yan stood by the roadside.

“Just drive. I’ve specially adjusted the formation on the carriage. As soon as it enters the driving state, it will automatically activate its power,” Lu Qing said.

Normally, Ma Gu was the one driving the carriage. Without spiritual power, the formation couldn’t be activated.

Therefore, Lu Qing had set the formation to automatically activate.

As soon as it sensed the carriage starting to move, the formation would activate and protect it.

“So amazing! Okay, let me try it first.”

Ma Gu’s anticipation grew.

He gently flicked his whip, and the two tall horses pulling the carriage, having spent so much time together, had almost become in tune with Ma Gu’s thoughts. They immediately set off with light hooves.

Ma Gu immediately sensed the difference as they ran.

He had been driving this carriage almost exclusively since leaving Jiuli Village.

He knew it like the back of his hand, a familiar presence.

But this time, as the carriage began to move, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

The entire carriage became incredibly light, practically floating above the road.

A strange force surged forth, enveloping not only the carriage but also the two horses at its head.

The carriage’s speed soared as soon as it began to move, practically whizzing off into the distance.

“How fast!”

the old doctor and the others exclaimed in astonishment.

The carriage’s speed was several times faster than their usual top speed.

Such a rapid pace nearly caught Magu off guard, forcing him into a collision with the trees by the roadside.

Fortunately, Magu, a martial arts expert nearing the perfection of the Bones and Muscles realm, possessed a formidable command of the vehicle. At the crucial moment, he managed to steer the carriage to a stop, preventing it from tipping over.

Even the two horses were startled, glancing back repeatedly, as if wondering why the carriage was so much lighter than usual.

“Master Ma, are you alright?”

Lu Qing was also a little startled. Although he knew that, under the protection of the formation, even if the carriage did overturn, it would be fine, he couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m just not prepared.” Ma Gu waved his hands repeatedly, his face flushing. “I’ll try again.”

“Then be careful.”

Sitting in the carriage, Ma Gu took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious.

This time, he couldn’t afford to embarrass himself again. He

cracked the whip.

The two horses, hearing the whip, instinctively raised their hooves and broke into a gallop again.

As the carriage began to move, the strange power surged again, enveloping the horses and the carriage.

The speed of the carriage soared again.

This time, mentally prepared, Ma Gu quickly adapted and controlled the carriage steadily.

But in the eyes of Lu Qing and the others, they saw Ma Gu driving the carriage, and with a gust of wind, he quickly disappeared at the bend in the road ahead.

Not long after, he rushed over from the front again, and finally stopped steadily in front of them.

During the whole process, apart from the sound of the horse’s hooves, there were not many other sounds. Even the sound of the carriage’s wheels was almost inaudible.

“Brother Lu Qing, this carriage has become amazing after your transformation!”

Ma Gu jumped out of the car with an excited look on his face.

Even the two horses snorted loudly, as if agreeing with him.

“Master, how does it feel to drive this carriage after the seal formation?” Wei Zian asked curiously.

“Excellent!” Ma Gu replied excitedly. “You don’t know, once the carriage starts moving, a magical force envelopes the body and horses, making them incredibly light and nimble, and moving at an incredible speed.

But while moving, the carriage doesn’t feel bumpy at all. It feels like riding the wind. It’s incredible!”

“I’ve engraved three magic arrays on the carriage,” Lu Qing explained. “[Light Spirit Array], [Fresh Wind Array], and [Solidification Array].

The lightness and wind-riding sensations you feel are probably the effects of the [Light Spirit Array] and [Fresh Wind Array].

As for the [Solidification Array], it’s used to strengthen the carriage, so it’s hard to feel it at the moment.”

“[Light Spirit Array]… [Fresh Wind Array]…”

Ma Gu and his disciple whispered the two names, their eyes filled with strange lights as they looked at Lu Qing.

They never imagined that Lu Qing actually understood such a magical method.

The art of formation, that’s the magic that only the gods and immortals in the novels know, but Lu Qing can actually perform it.

Could it be that Lu Qing is a god who has come down to earth?

A thought arose involuntarily in the minds of Ma Gu and his disciple.

Especially when they thought of all the magical things that Lu Qing had shown all along, they felt that this idea was very likely to be true.

For a moment, the master and the disciple looked at Lu Qing with awe in their eyes.

“You two, don’t look at me like that.”

Lu Qing felt the change in the master and disciple’s eyes, and roughly guessed what they were thinking, and couldn’t help laughing.

“I’m not a god, I just know some art of formation. It happened that the world is changing now, and the art of formation has regained its power, so I can use it.

Didn’t you know before that it was the Liuyun Sect that used the formation, which caused so many townspeople in Liuyun Town to die?”

“Changes in heaven and earth…” Ma Gu read these words and looked up, “Brother Lu Qing, I’ve actually always wanted to ask. I often hear you and the old doctor talk about changes in heaven and earth. What exactly has changed in heaven and earth?”

Wei Zian also looked at Lu Qing.

“I thought Master Ma would be able to hold back from asking.” Lu Qing smiled, “Well, it’s time to tell you about this.”

“The so-called changes in heaven and earth, if our estimation is correct, actually refers to…”

Lu Qing roughly explained to Ma Gu and Wei Zian that the spiritual energy had revived.

The master and disciple were stunned.

“Brother Lu Qing, do you mean that the spiritual energy is gradually revived, and those legendary immortals and their methods are actually real? “

It took a long time for Ma Gu to come back to his senses.

“Almost. In fact, tens of thousands of years ago, the way of cultivating immortals really existed, but later the spiritual energy disappeared, causing the way of cultivating immortals to gradually decline.

Now that the spiritual energy has revived, I think it won’t be long before all kinds of methods of cultivating immortals will reappear in the world.”

The hearts of Ma Gu and his disciple were shaken again, and they couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Seeing the shock on their faces, Lu Qing didn’t continue to speak, letting them digest the news.

After all, suddenly, they changed from a world of martial arts to a world of immortals.

No matter who it is, it takes time to accept such news.

“Doctor Lu Qing, then what you said to Xiaoyan before, that you would teach her the art of flying, is it true?” Wei Zian suddenly asked.

Xiaoyan immediately looked up at her brother.

“Yes, as long as Xiaoyan practices hard, it’s not impossible for her to learn to fly someday,” Lu Qing nodded.

Wei Zian’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Then, Doctor Lu Qing, can I, can I…”

“Learn the art of flying too?”

Wei Zian nodded vigorously.

Riding the wind, soaring through the azure sky—who wouldn’t want to?

“Not impossible. As long as you practice hard, I can teach you when you break through to the Xiantian realm,” Lu Qing said bluntly.

If Wei Zian could truly reach the Xiantian realm, it would prove that he had considerable talent.

Teaching him some cultivation techniques wouldn’t be impossible.

“Okay, Doctor Lu Qing, I will practice diligently!”

Wei Zian, overjoyed at Lu Qing’s promise, said solemnly.

He secretly vowed to practice tirelessly and reach the Xiantian realm .

Seeing this, Ma Gu felt quite relieved.

As for himself, he didn’t have such extravagant hopes.

He was well aware of his own talent. If he could one day reach the Inner Viscera Realm and touch the level of a martial arts master, he would be completely satisfied.

As for the Xiantian Realm, that was something he had never dared to dream of.

If Wei Zi’an could ever become a Xiantian warrior, then as his master, he would truly have no regrets.

The old doctor watched from the sidelines, smiling, and not interfering with Lu Qing’s decision.

“Master, now that the formation is engraved, should we head back or go directly through Ezhou?” Lu Qing asked.

The old doctor pondered for a moment, then finally said, “Let’s head back. Since the carriage’s speed has increased so much, even if we take a longer detour, it shouldn’t delay our journey. Ezhou

is still too unsuitable for carriage travel.”

Before seeing it firsthand, the old doctor had never imagined the terrain of Ezhou to be so treacherous.

Looking at the narrow mountain roads, even with the blessing of Lu Qing’s formation, it would be difficult for the carriage to pass through.

Not to mention the numerous deep mountains, which are prone to miasma and poisonous insects, adding to the danger.

Under normal circumstances, the old doctor would have been interested in exploring.

But right now, the most important thing for them was to get to Zhongzhou as soon as possible, so they shouldn’t create any more complications.

“Okay, then let’s do as you say, Master.” Lu Qing nodded.

In fact, he also preferred to go back.

After making the decision, everyone immediately began to pack up and prepare to set off.

After everyone got on the carriage, except for Lu Qing, the others had a look of anticipation on their faces.

“Old doctor, hold on tight!”

Ma Gu, who was sitting at the front of the carriage, shouted softly and cracked his whip.

The two tall horses in front, after a few Herodian shouts, excitedly raised their hooves and galloped forward.

The carriage started, and a strange force emerged from the magic circle on the body of the carriage, enveloping the entire carriage, including the horses, causing the carriage to suddenly increase in speed and drive forward rapidly.

The sudden increase in speed made everyone in the carriage feel a powerful force pulling them backwards.

Lu Qing and the old doctor stood back. With their level of cultivation, they weren’t fazed by this situation.

They remained motionless, steady in their positions.

Xiaoyan and Wei Zi’an, on the other hand, lacked such ability and were about to fly toward the back of the carriage.

But just then, a gentle current of air appeared from nowhere within the carriage, gently supporting their bodies and keeping them in place.

“Doctor Lu Qing, what is this?”

Wei Zi’an exclaimed in surprise, feeling the invisible air gently supporting and protecting him.

“This is the effect of the [Qingfeng Formation],” Lu Qing smiled. “The [Qingfeng Formation], as the name suggests, is a formation that harnesses the flow of cool breeze. It not only uses the power of wind to accelerate our carriage,

but also protects you within the carriage from any sudden changes.”

“So that’s how it is! This formation is truly miraculous!” Wei Zi’an exclaimed.

At the same time, experiencing the magical power of the formation firsthand, his resolve to cultivate diligently became even stronger.

As long as he could reach the Xiantian realm, he would be able to master such miraculous techniques in the future!

Hearing Wei Zian’s admiration, Lu Qing smiled.

If an ordinary cultivator had set up a [Qingfeng Formation], it wouldn’t have had so many variations.

After all, it was merely a rudimentary formation.

However, the [Qingfeng Formation], after his calculations and modifications, was different.

In other words, the three rudimentary formations he had personally engraved on the carriage had undergone significant changes from those recorded in the Lihuo Sect’s tradition, subtly transcending the scope of rudimentary formations.

This was all thanks to the Soul Talisman in his brow acupoint.

Lu Qing also discovered that, with the blessing of the Soul Talisman,

his engraved formations were not only flawless but also possessed a profound meaning, making them significantly more powerful.

It was as if a touch of spirituality had been imbued into the formation, making it less rigid and more dynamic.

“Is this the true strength of the Divine Talisman Sect’s legacy?

After condensing into a soul talisman, whether deploying formations or refining magical talismans, the power is far greater than that of ordinary immortal cultivators.”

Lu Qing pondered silently.

He had doubts before.

The rune cultivation method passed down by the Divine Talisman Sect was so difficult to practice. Just getting started was far more difficult than ordinary immortal cultivation methods.

But similarly, other immortal cultivators could also set up formations and draw talismans, harnessing the power of runes.

In that case, wouldn’t the Divine Talisman Sect’s cultivation methods be superfluous?

Now he understood that the true mystical power of the Divine Talisman Sect’s inheritance lay in the refinement of the Divine Soul Talisman.

Those who possessed the Divine Soul Talisman were true rune practitioners.

The rune power they could harness was far more powerful than that of ordinary immortal cultivators.

Empowered by the power of the formation, under Ma Gudi’s control, the carriage moved swiftly along the road.

Anyone watching from outside would be amazed to find that

Lu Qing and his companions’ carriage was enveloped in a cyan airflow, speeding along at a truly bizarre speed.

Not long after, they returned to Yunzhou, outside the small village where they had stayed the day before.

But this time, Lu Qing and his companions didn’t stop. Instead, after determining the direction, they chose another road and quickly departed.

In this way, the carriage sped along, and by the time it got dark, Lu Qing and his companions had already left Yunzhou and entered another large state.
