Chapter 378: Qi Training Completed, Old Doctor Breaks Through

Early in the morning, in the bamboo forest behind the Lu family, Lu Qing sat cross-legged.

The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was being drawn in by him, absorbed into his body.

Time passed quickly, and another month had passed since Lu Qing returned from Xizhou.

During this month, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had continued to increase.

The spiritual energy in Jiuli Village, regulated and concentrated by the formation, was now as rich as Lu Qing had felt in Zhongzhou.

Of course, with so much time having passed, the spiritual energy in Zhongzhou must have been much richer than when Lu Qing and his friends had left.

But regardless, the spiritual energy in Jiuli Village was now sufficient for his and his master’s cultivation.

As Lu Qing cultivated, the spiritual energy lingering around him grew increasingly rich.

Later, it even showed signs of condensing into a mist.

Suddenly, Lu Qing’s body shook, absorbing the rich spiritual energy around him.

Immediately, a sense of perfection emerged from him.

“Congratulations, young master, on reaching the Perfection of Qi Refining.”

Yan materialized beside Lu Qing and congratulated him.

He marveled at Lu Qing’s incredible cultivation speed.

It hadn’t been long since he’d reached the Great Completion of Qi Refining, and now he’d already broken through again, reaching Perfection. He was only a step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.

If he hadn’t been told, no one would have dared to believe that Lu Qing was still practicing the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, a technique notorious for its slow progress from the ancient era of immortal cultivation.

“Progress is still a bit slow,” Lu Qing said, shaking his head.

Yan: …

Lu Qing sensed Yan’s silence and didn’t explain further.

He understood Yan’s meaning. Compared to ordinary cultivators, his cultivation speed was indeed very fast.

With his strong foundation and the blessing of his natal magic weapon, the Five Elements Gourd, even practicing the Five Elements Body Refining Technique couldn’t limit his progress.

But Lu Qing’s goal has never been to compare himself with practitioners of the same level.

Over a month has passed since the last sound of the Heavenly Dao.

The evolution of the laws of Heaven and Earth has gradually reached a new limit.

Lu Qing estimated that it wouldn’t be long before the fifth sound of the Heavenly Dao would sound.

Based on previous experience, with each sound of the Heavenly Dao, the laws of Heaven and Earth would become more complete.

The beings it could accommodate would become increasingly powerful.

The current rules of Heaven and Earth could allow cultivators to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage.

When the next Heavenly Dao Sound sounded, it would likely evolve to accommodate the birth of a powerful Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Whoever could break through first would then have a significant impact on the world’s situation.

Lu Qing didn’t seek to be the first to enter the Golden Core Realm; that wasn’t realistic.

But he had to ensure that he had the confidence to face the Golden Core Realm head-on.

This was obviously not something that could be achieved at the Qi Refining Realm; he would also need a qualitative breakthrough.

“I hope that the fifth sound of heaven and earth will come later.”

Lu Qing has now completed his Qi training. With his supernatural powers, he has almost no confusion about his realm.

As long as he prepares for a few more days, it will not be difficult for him to enter the foundation-building stage.

He has a premonition that after the fifth sound of heaven and earth, the world will undergo a major change.

Apart from anything else, there will definitely be other actions over at Xuankong Mountain.

So he needs to have enough strength to cope with the future changes.

“Hmm?”

Just as Lu Qing was thinking in his heart, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation.

He looked in the direction of the courtyard halfway up the mountain with surprise: “Master has made a breakthrough?”

A few days ago, the master said that he would go into seclusion for a few days, but he didn’t expect that he would make a breakthrough so soon.

A breeze blew on Lu Qing’s body, and the next moment, he had disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Soon, he arrived at the courtyard halfway up the mountain.

“Brother, you’re back!”

Xiaoyan, who had just finished practicing the Breathing Method in the courtyard, exclaimed happily upon seeing Lu Qing return.

After over a month of practice, the little one had already reached a considerable level of mastery in the Breathing Method.

With her spiritual energy overflowing, she had accumulated some strength in the Qi Refining Realm, and wasn’t far from the Minor Success stage.

After all, Xiaoyan’s cultivation talent was exceptional.

According to Yan, even in the ancient era of immortal cultivation, she would have been a peerless genius, a core disciple of a top-tier sect. “Hmm

.”

Lu Qing patted the little one’s head and looked toward the house.

He could sense that his master was still in his meditation room, perhaps experiencing the changes after his breakthrough.

So, he didn’t go in to disturb him, but stood in the courtyard, quietly waiting.

After a while, he heard the sound of a door opening, and soon, the old doctor appeared at the door.

“Grandpa Chen, you’ve emerged from retreat!”

Xiaoyan exclaimed happily.

“Haha, I just came out of retreat.”

The old doctor stroked his beard, his face full of smiles, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

“Congratulations, Master, for entering the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Lu Qing also congratulated happily.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but sigh again in his heart.

Master’s cultivation talent is really too exaggerated.

He has been baptized by the heavenly tribulation, and with the strong foundation condensed by the nine world origin energies, and with the help of his life-saving magic weapon such as the Five Elements Gourd. His

cultivation speed is different from that of ordinary people, which is understandable.

Master did not have as many opportunities as him, but his cultivation speed was not much slower than his. He reached the perfection of Qi training early.

Now he has broken through the barrier and entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Such progress in cultivation is amazing.

Even Yan couldn’t help but marvel in Lu Qing’s mind: “Young Master, your master’s comprehension is rare in the world.”

“I can’t hide it from you, Ah Qing,” the old doctor said with a smile. “A few days ago, I treated Zihao and the others.

From the strange runes on their bodies, I comprehended other mysteries about the circulation of vital energy in the human body. Inspired

by this, I also grasped a hint of the profound mysteries of foundation building.

I had only planned to retreat for a few days to sort out my insights, but I didn’t expect to achieve a breakthrough directly.”

“Master’s cultivation talent truly earns your respect,” Lu Qing exclaimed. He

was also surprised.

He naturally knew what the runes his master was talking about were.

They were rune marks planted by the demonic cultivators in the bodies of Wei Zihao and the others, belonging to the magic technique.

He had never expected that his master could draw inspiration from them, penetrate the mysteries of foundation building, and break through the realm.

Such comprehension was simply unimaginable.

“Stop trying to sell me on this old man,” the old doctor scolded with a smile.

When it came to cultivation talent, who could compare to his disciple?

As the master and disciple were flattering each other, Lu Qing’s heart suddenly stirred.

He sensed a presence lingering outside Jiuli Village.

It was a presence he was quite familiar with.

Lu Qing smiled, “Master, it seems we have a guest.”
