Chapter 268

Chapter 268 Extreme Speed, Premonition

“Master, this Lu Xiaolangjun must know the reason for last night’s strange phenomena. Why don’t you ask him?”

the seemingly dull and honest eldest disciple asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I’ve already asked, but unfortunately this Lu Xiaolangjun is unwilling to speak.” Doctor Zhao sighed.

“When did Master ask?”

The eldest disciple was stunned. He had been listening in the whole time and didn’t hear the master ask about last night again.

“I asked Lu Xiaolangjun if he slept well last night. His answer was very good, which was the answer.”

Seeing that the eldest disciple was still puzzled, Doctor Zhao sighed again.

He was also a disciple of someone else’s family, so why was his own disciple so dull?

He patiently explained, “Some things don’t need to be made explicit. We witnessed this Young Master Lu perform miraculous feats on the inn’s rooftop last night.

But when I asked him how he slept, he didn’t mention it at all, clearly unwilling to engage in a deeper discussion.

This Young Master Lu is clearly no ordinary person. Since he won’t say anything, why bother asking and irritating himself?”

The eldest disciple finally stood up, his gaze lost in thought.

The younger disciple beside him, however, was completely bewildered. “Master, Senior Brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand a single word.”

Doctor Zhao, feeling even more exhausted as he watched his even more clueless younger disciple, said expressionlessly, “Nothing much. Remember to be more vigilant next time you sleep. Don’t sleep like a pig, oblivious to what’s happening outside.”

“Oh.”

…

“This Doctor Zhao is quite interesting.”

Leaving the Renxin Clinic, Lu Qing smiled faintly.

He had naturally detected the probing tone in Doctor Zhao’s earlier words.

However, since he didn’t know him well enough, he wouldn’t casually reveal such a secret.

Since the other party couldn’t even sense the Dao Sound of Heaven and Earth, it was clearly not a destined one. Even if they knew, it would only add to their troubles. They

returned to the inn with the herbs, and by then everyone else had gotten up.

After breakfast, Lu Qing and the others prepared to depart.

“Ah Qing, are these our two horses?”

Everyone was stunned when they saw the two dragon-blooded horses, whose appearances had been transformed.

Even the old doctor was stunned.

The innkeeper and the waiter were especially stunned, their mouths dropped open.

There was no other way. Over the past night, the two horses had become so majestic, practically like the legendary celestial horses.

Anyone who saw them would be struck by their majestic appearance.

“I gave them some moon essence last night, and that’s how they turned out.” Lu Qing loaded the luggage onto the carriage.

“Everyone, get aboard! These two horses’ transformed bloodlines should make them even faster. Perhaps we can reach the Holy Mountain sooner than expected.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Their carriage was already fast enough, but if it could go even faster, wouldn’t it literally fly?

With this anticipation, everyone began to board.

“Master Ma, it’s all right,”

Lu Qing said once everyone was seated.

Ma Gu immediately tugged on the reins, and the two dragon-blood horses set to work, gently pulling the carriage forward.

The clatter of hooves echoed through the town streets. The two dragon-blood horses rode with their heads held high, and passersby could not help but gape in amazement.

It was still early, so the streets were sparsely populated; otherwise, both sides would have been packed with onlookers.

Even so, by the time Lu Qing and his companions were almost out of town, they were still thronged with people coming out to see the spectacle.

“It seems we won’t be able to stay in the city again,”

the old doctor sighed, hearing the commotion outside.

“That’s fine, Master. We can just stay in the wild or in a small village like before.”

Lu Qing understood his master’s concerns.

The two dragon-blood horses were incredibly majestic, evidently of extraordinary breeds, and incredibly eye-catching.

It was fine in a small town like Yunlai, but if they were in a larger city, they would easily attract the attention of others.

That would inevitably lead to additional trouble.

“Master, you’re right. That young Master Lu is truly no ordinary person.”

Doctor Zhao and his eldest disciple stood at a certain intersection.

The eldest disciple gazed at the two dragon-blood horses pulling the cart with a look of awe.

It was the first time he had ever seen such extraordinary and unique horses.

“It’s a shame I didn’t get to meet Young Master Lu’s master and learn from him,” Doctor Zhao lamented.

Lu Qing’s medical skills were already astounding enough, so what kind of person must have been to have trained such an exceptional disciple?

Doctor Zhao was filled with curiosity, but ultimately, he didn’t get to see him, a real regret.

“Brother Lu Qing, pay attention! I’m going to speed up.”

Once outside the town, Ma Gu cracked his whip.

At the crack of the whip, the two dragon-blood horses began to stir with excitement.

After their bloodline transformation, they felt a surge of strength within them, and had long been eager to unleash their energy.

Now, finally fulfilling their wish, they instantly exerted force, stomped their feet hard on the ground, and rushed forward.

At the same moment, a whirlwind suddenly arose, a cyan current appearing, enveloping both horses and carriages.

Whoosh!

The power of the formation, combined with the greatly enhanced strength of the dragon-blood horses, caused the carriage’s speed to soar to an extreme, far exceeding its previous maximum.

“Wow!”

Despite his preparedness, Ma Gu was still startled by the carriage’s speed. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have nearly lost his grip on the reins and been thrown off.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing and the others in the carriage, protected by the formation, were not in any danger.

“What a swift pace!”

The old doctor couldn’t help but look surprised as he felt the carriage speeding down the road like a flash of green.

“Master, it looks like we can reach the Holy Mountain sooner,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

As for Wei Zi’an and Hu Zezhi, they were already stunned by the scenery whizzing by outside the window.

The two dragon-blood horses raced with increasing excitement, their speed increasing, almost as if they were about to fly.

Ma Gu was forced to order them to slow down, otherwise, the speed would continue to increase and he would lose control of the carriage’s direction.

Just like that, at this breakneck speed, the carriage continued its journey towards the Holy Mountain.

When they stopped in the evening, Lu Qing and his companions checked the map and discovered they were already five thousand miles away from Yunlai Town.

And this was all thanks to Magu’s deliberate speed reduction.

Otherwise, if they were running at top speed, they would have been ten thousand miles away from Yunlai Town.

“Excellent! At this rate, we should be able to reach the Holy Mountain in three days at most,”

Lu Qing said with great satisfaction after reviewing the map.

Even more satisfying was the sight of the two dragon-blood horses. Even after a full day of galloping, they showed no signs of fatigue, appearing to still have energy left.

It was well worth the amount of moon essence they had been given to drink.

“Let’s rest here tonight. I’ll go see what to eat,” Lu Qing said.

They were staying in a forest, and with a few tents, they could get by for the night.

Ma Gu and the others were in charge of setting up the tents, while Lu Qing took Xiao Li for a walk around the area and brought back a few fat rabbits.

“Rabbits!” Xiao Yan’s eyes lit up when she saw the fat rabbits Lu Qing had brought back. “Brother, are we having roasted rabbits tonight?”

“Yes, I haven’t made barbecue for you in a while, and I’m lucky enough to have caught these rabbits, so we can have a treat.”

“There’s barbecue tonight…”

Ma Gu and Wei Zi’an couldn’t help but swallow their saliva after hearing this.

Even the old doctor was a little tempted.

Hu Zezhi, who was still immersed in the shock of having traveled 5,000 miles in a single day, couldn’t help but become curious when he saw this scene.

Wei Zi’an happened to be right next to her. While Lu Qing was preparing and cleaning the rabbit, she gently asked,

“Young Master Wei, is Young Master Lu’s roast rabbit delicious? Why do you all seem so excited?”

“Of course!” Wei Zi’an replied without hesitation. “Doctor Lu Qing’s roast meat is the best. No, it should be that whatever he cooks is the best!”

“So amazing?”

Hu Zezhi became even more curious, and at the same time, she couldn’t help but wonder just how delicious this roast meat, so highly praised by everyone, could be.

And before long, Hu Zezhi’s curiosity was satisfied.

“Sister Hu, this is what my brother asked me to bring you.”

Xiaoyan held a plate and placed it in front of Hu Zezhi.

On it was a freshly cut piece of roast rabbit.

Looking at the large, golden piece of roasted rabbit meat, with the leg still attached, and the amazing aroma that constantly filled her nose,

Hu Zezhi couldn’t help but swallow.

The aroma of roasted rabbit was too rich.

“Thank you, Xiaoyan.”

Hu Zezhi took the plate, she turned her head and saw that Magu and the others had already started eating.

The rabbit meat in her hand was so delicious that she didn’t care about being reserved anymore and took a light bite.

When she took a bite of the rabbit meat, Hu Zezhi’s eyes widened immediately.

The rabbit meat had crispy skin and tender meat, the skin was crispy and fragrant, but the meat inside was very tender and full of gravy. It was really a delicacy she had never tasted before.

No wonder Wei Zian and the others’ eyes lit up when they heard that Lu Qing wanted to grill meat.

It turned out that Mr. Lu’s cooking skills were really that good.

Hu Zezhi looked at Lu Qing who was still grilling meat, and suddenly realized.

The long-lost grilled rabbit meat made Magu and the others eat very happily.

After dinner, Lu Qing took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark yet, opened the big bag of medicinal materials he bought from Renxin Medical Clinic in the morning, and began to prepare the medicine.

“A Qing, what medicine are you going to prepare?” asked the old doctor.

“I’m planning to make some intermittent healing ointment. Miss Hu’s leg injury is quite serious, and ordinary medicinal herbs are still a bit slow to take effect.”

Lu Qing expertly prepared the medicine, then took out the medicine pot and began to boil it.

To maximize the ointment’s effectiveness, he even added a little of the spiritual liquid he and his master had prepared.

Hu Zezhi felt even more grateful when she heard that Lu Qing was brewing ointment for her.

At the same time, Lu Qing’s image in her mind became even more mysterious and majestic.

His medical skills were superb, and his cultivation was unfathomable, like an immortal. Now, even his cooking skills could impress everyone.

She really couldn’t imagine what else Lu Qing couldn’t do.

It took more than an hour for Lu Qing to finally boil the intermittent healing ointment.

After the ointment cooled, he scooped it out, put it into a small clay pot, and handed it to Hu Zezhi.

“Miss Hu, apply this ointment to your wound every night before bed. I estimate that by the time this small jar of ointment is used up, your wound should be completely healed, leaving no scar.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lu,”

Hu Zezhi accepted the pottery jar, hugged it tightly, and thanked him gratefully.

She had originally thought that the scar on her leg would be with her for the rest of her life.

Now, to hear that it could actually heal, she was truly delighted.

That night, Hu Zezhi applied the ointment to her wound in her tent.

She had assumed that direct contact with the wound would cause considerable pain, just like with the golden medicine.

However, she had never expected the regenerative ointment to be so miraculous. Instead of feeling any pain, it sent a cooling sensation that greatly alleviated the initial pain.

That night, free of leg pain, Hu Zezhi slept soundly.

The next morning, she looked at the scar on her leg and found it had almost healed.

Even the leg bone had grown back substantially.

As for the pain, it was even less noticeable, almost imperceptible.

If she hadn’t felt that her leg bones hadn’t fully grown, Hu Zezhi would have suspected that her legs had been seriously injured.

At this moment, Hu Zezhi knew how precious the plaster Lu Qing made for her was.

It could make such a serious injury as a broken leg almost healed overnight.

Such an ointment could be called a miracle drug.

Even in Qinglong City, she had never heard of any medicine that was so effective.

“Sister Hu, are you awake?”

Just when Hu Zezhi was stunned, Xiaoyan’s voice rang out outside the tent.

“Uh, awake,” Hu Zezhi replied quickly.

“Then we should get up quickly. My brother said we’ll set off after breakfast.”

“Okay, I’ll be right out.”

Hu Zezhi quickly put on her coat and walked out of the tent. Seeing that everyone was already up, even Xiaoli was leaning on Lu Qing’s shoulder, she couldn’t help but blush.

“Sorry, I think I overslept.”

“No problem, we just got up a while ago too,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “Is the ointment from last night still working?”

“Very effective. I feel like my leg injury is almost healed. Master Lu, your ointment is really amazing. If it were sold in the city, I’m afraid countless people would rush to buy it.”

Hu Zezhi exclaimed in amazement.

“As long as it works.”

Lu Qing looked at Hu Zezhi’s face, and suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly.

At the same time, the old doctor seemed to notice something and looked at Lu Qing.

The master and disciple exchanged glances, but said nothing.

Finally, it was Lu Qing who said, “Alright, let’s have breakfast first. We’ll set off after that.”

Everyone quickly finished their breakfast, packed their bags, and set off.

As the carriage sped away again, the old doctor quietly sent a message to Lu Qing.

“Ah Qing, did you notice anything just now?”
