Chapter 586: Chapter 377: Qi Cultivation Perfection, Elder Doctor’s Breakthrough

In the early morning, Lu Qing was sitting cross-legged in the bamboo forest behind the Lu Family home.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was gradually being pulled by him, thread by thread, absorbed into his body.

Time flies, and it had been a month since Lu Qing returned from West State.

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

In Jiuli Village, thanks to the gathering and conditioning by the array, the density of the spiritual energy had even reached the level Lu Qing initially felt in Central State.

Of course, so much time had passed, and the spiritual energy in Central State must have become much richer than when Lu Qing and the others had left.

But no matter what, the spiritual energy in Jiuli Village now sufficed for both his and his master’s cultivation.

As Lu Qing cultivated, the spiritual energy swirling around him grew denser.

Eventually, it even showed signs of condensing into mist.

Suddenly, Lu Qing’s body shook, and he absorbed all the rich spiritual energy surrounding him.

Following that, a sense of perfection emerged from his body.

“Congratulations, Young Master, on reaching the realm of Qi Cultivation Perfection.”

“Yan” materialized beside Lu Qing, congratulating him.

At the same time, she marveled inwardly at the speed of Lu Qing’s cultivation.

It hadn’t been long since his last breakthrough to Qi Refining Great Success, and now he had made another breakthrough, reaching the realm of Qi Cultivation Perfection, just a step away from the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If it wasn’t said, no one would dare believe that what Lu Qing was practicing was the “Five Elements Body Refining Technique” from the ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, known for its slow progression.

“The progress is still slow,” Lu Qing shook his head and said.

Yan: …

Lu Qing perceived Yan’s silence, but he did not offer any more explanations.

He understood what Yan meant; compared to an ordinary cultivator, his cultivation pace indeed was very fast.

With his solid foundation and the enhancement from his lifebound magical treasure, the Five Elements Gourd, even practicing the “Five Elements Body Refining Technique” couldn’t hinder the speed of his cultivation.

However, Lu Qing’s goal had never been to compare himself with cultivators of the same level.

More than a month had passed since the last Heaven and Earth Dao Sound.

The evolution of heaven and earth’s rules was also gradually reaching a new limit.

Lu Qing estimated that it wouldn’t be long before the fifth Heaven and Earth Dao Sound would ring out.

Based on the previous experiences, with every sound of the Heaven and Earth Dao Sound, the heaven and earth rules would become more perfect.

The beings they could accommodate would also grow stronger.

The current heaven and earth rules allowed cultivators to practice up to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After the next Heaven and Earth Dao Sound, it was very likely that the rules would evolve to accommodate the emergence of Golden Core Realm powerhouses.

By then, whoever could break through first would greatly influence the world’s power structure.

Lu Qing didn’t expect to be the very first to step into the Golden Core Realm; that would be unrealistic.

But he must ensure that he had the confidence to face a Golden Core Realm cultivator at that time.

And clearly, this was not something that could be achieved at the Qi Cultivation realm; he needed a qualitative breakthrough as well.

“Hopefully this fifth Heaven and Earth Dao Sound can come later.”

Now at Qi Cultivation Perfection and with his superpower, Lu Qing hardly faced any confusion regarding his realm.

He just needed a little more time to be ready to step into the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He had a premonition that after this fifth Heaven and Earth Dao Sound, there would be a significant change in the world.

Not to mention other actions, Suspended Mountain was sure to stir.

So, he needed enough strength to deal with the coming changes.

“Hm?”

As Lu Qing was pondering in his heart, suddenly, he sensed a fluctuation.

He looked excitedly towards the direction of Half Mountain Small Courtyard, “Has Master broken through?”

A few days ago, Master mentioned he would enter closed-door cultivation for a few days; Lu Qing didn’t expect it to be so quick.

Lu Qing felt a gentle breeze around him, and in the next moment, he had disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Soon after, he arrived at the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.

“Brother, you’re back!”

Little Yan, who had just finished practicing the “Qi Eating Skill” in the courtyard, greeted Lu Qing happily upon his return.

After over a month of cultivation, the little fellow had attained a profound level of proficiency with the “Qi Eating Skill.”

Her spiritual power was abundant within her, and her accumulation in the Qi Refining Realm was substantial. She was not far from reaching the Minor Success Realm of Qi Refining.

After all, Little Yan’s talent for cultivation was extraordinarily remarkable.

According to “Yan,” even in the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, she would have been considered a rare genius, on par with the core true disciples of top-tier Cultivation Sects.

“Uh-huh.”

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

He could sense that his master was still inside the quiet room, presumably experiencing the changes after his breakthrough.

Therefore, he did not enter to disturb him but stood quietly in the courtyard, waiting.

After a while, there was a sound of a door opening from inside the house, and soon, the figure of the elder doctor appeared at the doorway.

“Grandpa Chen, you’ve finished your retreat!”

Little Yan shouted cheerfully.

“Heh, I’ve just finished my retreat.”

The elder doctor stroked his beard with a big smile on his face, clearly in an excellent mood.

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

Lu Qing also offered his congratulations happily.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel astonished once again.

The talent of his master’s cultivation was simply too exaggerated.

He had been baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation and had a robust foundation crafted from the Origin Energy of nine worlds. Additionally, with the assistance of the Lifebound Magical Treasure like the Five Elements Gourd,

it made sense for his cultivation speed to be uncommon among ordinary people.

But Master didn’t have as many fortuitous encounters as he did, yet his cultivation speed was not much slower, reaching the stage of Qi Cultivation Perfection early on.

Now, he had even broken through the barrier and stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Such progress in cultivation was astonishing.

Even “Yan” couldn’t help but exclaim in Lu Qing’s mind, “Young Master, your master’s perception is indeed rare in this world.”

“It seems I can’t hide anything from you, Ah Qing,” the elder doctor said with a laugh. “Some days ago, I was adjusting the bodies of Zihao and the others.

From the unusual runes in their bodies, I gleaned some insights into the mysterious operation of Vitality Qi in the human body.

With the intuitive realization, I managed to break through some of the mysterious aspects of Foundation Establishment.

I had only planned to retreat for a few days to organize my findings, but I did not expect to break through directly.”

“Master’s talent for cultivation is truly admirable,” Lu Qing sighed.

He also felt surprised.

He naturally knew what the runes his master mentioned were about.

They were the rune marks planted by Demon Cultivators within the bodies of Wei Zihao and others, belonging to Demon Dao Techniques.

That his master could obtain inspiration from them and discern the mysteries of Foundation Establishment, achieving a breakthrough in his realm, was beyond imagination.

“Don’t flatter an old man,” the elder doctor retorted with a laugh and a mock scold.

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

As the master and disciple exchanged praise, Lu Qing suddenly felt a stir in his heart.

He sensed a breath lingering outside Jiuli Village.

And that breath, he was quite familiar with it.

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