"Brother Lu Qing, this carriage is truly miraculous thanks to the enhancement of the formation."
I estimate that we've already traveled at least a thousand li (approximately 500 kilometers) today.
As evening fell, Magu exclaimed in surprise as they stopped to rest in a grove of trees.
Traveling a thousand miles a day, that's truly traveling a thousand miles a day.
He had heard before that there were magnificent Akhal-Teke horses in the world that could travel a thousand miles a day.
Unexpectedly, one day, the horse-drawn carriage he personally drove could also perform such a miracle.
Most importantly, the two horses that were responsible for pulling the carriage were not particularly tired after running all day.
They can still leisurely nibble on the roadside grass.
It's obvious that they didn't experience much stress after running all day.
Even they, because of the presence of the magic array, did not feel bumpy when the carriage traveled on the rugged road. After a day, everyone did not feel as tired as usual.
"This is nothing," Lu Qing laughed. "Legend has it that in ancient times, there were cultivators who crafted magical flying boats that could truly ride the wind and fly straight into the azure sky, instantly traversing hundreds of miles."
That kind of speed is what truly makes it a celestial treasure.
Although Lu Qing had engraved three magic arrays on the carriage, giving it extraordinary power, it was like a magic weapon.
Strictly speaking, due to its material, it cannot be called a magic weapon, or even a magic artifact; at most, it only possesses a trace of the characteristics of a magic weapon.
It is still far inferior to real magic weapons and artifacts.
"Riding the wind, soaring straight into the azure sky, covering hundreds of miles in an instant..."
Hearing Lu Qing's description, not only were Ma Gu and the others amazed, but even the old doctor was filled with longing.
They couldn't help but imagine how carefree and joyful that scene must have been.
After thinking about it for a while, everyone started preparing to pitch tents and cook dinner.
"Brother, why hasn't Xiao Li woken up yet?"
When Lu Qing finished preparing dinner and invited everyone to eat, Xiao Yan, holding Xiao Li, asked with some concern.
Since eating the Beast Spirit Fruit, Xiao Li has been in a deep sleep, and it hasn't even woken up at mealtimes.
You know, in the past, it would always ask Lu Qing for dried fish every time it was time to eat.
But for the past two days, it has remained asleep without any sign of waking up, which makes Xiaoyan very worried.
Lu Qing took Xiao Li from him; the little guy was still fast asleep.
He sensed it with his divine soul power and then activated his supernatural abilities to examine it further.
He said to Xiaoyan, "It's alright, Xiaoli is still digesting the effects of the medicine. It will wake up in two or three days at most."
"It will take another two or three days."
Xiao Yan was relieved to hear that Xiao Li was alright, but also felt a little melancholy.
Xiao Li has been sleeping these past two days, and no one has been playing chess with her.
"Don't worry, once Xiao Li wakes up, she can play with you again."
Lu Qing walked to the carriage and gently placed Xiao Li in its little nest inside.
To be honest, he didn't expect Xiao Li to sleep for so long this time.
However, he had just sensed with his divine sense that a powerful energy was lurking within Xiao Li's body.
The information detected by the supernatural ability also indicates that it is undergoing a very crucial transformation.
It seems that the Beast Spirit Fruit really had a great effect on it, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to transform.
Lu Qing was very much looking forward to seeing how strong Xiao Li would become after this transformation.
Before consuming the Beast Spirit Fruit, Xiao Li's strength was already enough to easily kill an Inner Strength Realm expert.
Even martial arts masters are powerless against its invisibility talent.
It can be said that, unless there is an exception like Lu Qing, Xiao Li is almost invincible in the Acquired Realm.
Therefore, Lu Qing was quite looking forward to seeing what changes Xiao Li would undergo after waking up this time.
With this expectation in mind, Lu Qing kept a close eye on Xiao Li's condition while traveling in the days that followed.
Then he discovered that the energy within Xiao Li's body was becoming stronger and stronger, and the black fur on her body, which resembled flames, was becoming increasingly dark.
Finally, on the evening of the third day, while Lu Qing and the others were having dinner, a figure suddenly jumped out of the carriage and instantly appeared in front of Lu Qing, looking at him pitifully with two big, misty eyes.
Lu Qingzheng paused, holding the bowl: "Xiao Li, you're awake?"
He was taken aback, because he hadn't sensed Xiao Li waking up at all.
Even his sudden movement came without warning; he almost didn't even have time to react.
The old doctor's face showed a hint of shock.
Like Lu Qing, he also failed to detect Xiao Li's movements in advance.
More importantly, he sensed a danger emanating from Xiao Li.
This shows that Xiao Li is now capable of posing a threat to him to some extent.
"Xiao Li, you're awake!"
Xiaoyan was overjoyed; if she hadn't been holding a bowl, she would have rushed over to hug it.
Xiao Li nodded, but her eyes still showed grievance, and she tugged at Lu Qing's clothes with her little paws.
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Having spent so much time with Xiao Li, Lu Qing immediately understood its meaning.
Xiao Li nodded again.
"I'll go get you some dried fish."
Lu Qing immediately walked towards the carriage, and soon brought out a large basin of dried fish, which he handed to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing the food, and she pounced on it, devouring it in large mouthfuls.
It seems that it really went hungry during those few days of sleeping.
Lu Qing didn't disturb it, but quietly activated his special ability and looked at Xiao Li.
A rich golden light of supernatural power emanated from Xiao Li's body.
【Black Night Spirit Fox: Innate-level spirit beast, juvenile, female.】
【Extremely fast, with sharp claws capable of shattering stone, splitting gold, and cutting through anything.】
【Due to refining the Beast Spirit Fruit, his bloodline underwent evolution and transformation, becoming a Primordial Spirit Beast and activating his bloodline inheritance.】
【After the bloodline transformation, the talent also transformed, becoming a supernatural power. The fur could distort space, allowing the user to completely merge with darkness and conceal all traces of their presence.】
【Legend has it that the Night Spirit Fox loves to eat fish, but is born with an aversion to water, and can only sigh longingly at the sight of fish.】
Lu Qing was overjoyed after reading Xiao Li's message.
After refining the Beast Spirit Fruit, Xiao Li indeed underwent a tremendous transformation.
It is now a spirit beast at the innate level, and not only that, its talent has also undergone a transformation.
Lu Qing remembered that Xiao Li's talent used to be just a skill; it could only distort light and hide her tracks.
However, when encountering a powerhouse at the Innate Realm level, it is still impossible to avoid their spiritual perception.
But now, the information revealed by the supernatural ability shows that Xiao Li's talent has transformed into a supernatural power.
It's no longer just about distorting light; it can directly distort space, become enveloped in darkness, and conceal all traces of its own presence.
No wonder he hadn't noticed Xiao Li's movements earlier; it turned out that its talent had undergone such a great transformation.
Now, this little guy is going to become a true nighttime assassin.
With the ability to distort space, such a terrifying talent, once hidden, even a top expert at the peak of the Innate Realm might not be able to detect Xiao Li's whereabouts.
Also, the note mentioned that Xiao Li activated her bloodline inheritance. I guess I should find some time to ask her what happened.
Because it involved Xiao Li's secret, Lu Qing did not ask it about this transformation in front of everyone.
It wasn't until early the next morning that he took Xiao Li to a valley.
"Xiao Li, after you refined the Beast Spirit Fruit this time, did you feel any difference in your body?"
Xiao Li tilted her head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, her fur rippled and then slowly disappeared right under Lu Qing's nose.
"Is this your newly transformed innate divine power?"
Within Lu Qing's brow acupoint, the power of his soul surged.
Then he discovered that he really couldn't sense Xiao Li's presence.
Everything around was perfectly calm and without any abnormalities.
If he hadn't witnessed Xiao Li disappear with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that a strange spirit beast was lurking nearby.
Suddenly, Lu Qing felt a slight fluctuation in the surrounding space.
If it weren't for his incredibly powerful and extraordinary spiritual strength, no one would have been able to detect it.
He then felt a slight weight on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Li standing on his shoulder, looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for his praise.
Lu Qing naturally praised, "You're really amazing, Xiao Li. After your talent has transformed, even martial artists at the Innate Realm will find it difficult to detect your whereabouts."
Xiao Li immediately raised its head, put its two front paws on its waist, and looked very proud.
Seeing its human-like actions, Lu Qing couldn't help but chuckle.
He tapped its head: "You're becoming more and more like Xiaoyan."
Xiao Yan usually acts smug, just like Xiao Li, with her hands on her hips and a smug look on her face.
The two little ones spend every day together, and even their habits have become similar.
"By the way, Xiao Li, besides your talent becoming more powerful, have you noticed any other strange changes?"
Xiao Li tilted her head and remembered something again.
After a while, its eyes lit up, and it began waving its little paws at Lu Qing, making gestures.
However, the meaning it was trying to convey this time was too complex, and even Lu Qing couldn't fully understand it at once.
"You said... something suddenly appeared in your mind, what was it?"
Lu Qing carefully observed Xiao Li's gestures and spoke slowly.
Xiao Li seemed to realize that communicating like this was too troublesome, so she simply jumped off Lu Qing's shoulder.
Arriving at a rock, it swung its claw and cut a strip of stone off it.
Then it grabbed the stone slab and began to write on the sandy ground of the valley.
"I forgot, Xiao Li, you can read."
Lu Qing chuckled, realizing his own confusion, and bent down to look at the ground.
Because she rarely practices calligraphy, Xiao Li's handwriting is not very good and is quite immature, but fortunately it is still legible.
Lu Qing watched for a while, and surprise gradually appeared on his face.
"Xiao Li, do you mean that something strange suddenly appeared in your mind, somewhat like the cultivation technique I taught Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Li nodded, then continued writing on the sand.
"And you can feel that the cultivation method appearing in your mind is very familiar and will be of great help to you?"
Xiao Li nodded again, and the stone strip on its paw began to move once more.
"You're asking me what to do?"
Lu Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiao Li, can you write down the cultivation technique in your mind?"
Xiao Li shook her head.
Lu Qing thought about it and realized that the cultivation techniques in Xiao Li's mind came from his bloodline, and probably could not be described by simple words.
Unfortunately, perhaps it's because Xiao Li didn't learn the cultivation technique. Even after activating his superpower, he didn't see any prompts for downloading the cultivation technique simulation.
Otherwise, he could use his special ability to help Xiao Li calculate whether there were any problems with those inheritances.
However, after a moment's thought, Lu Qing said, "Since the cultivation technique appeared after your bloodline transformed, it should obviously be inherited from your bloodline. Xiao Li, you should be fine cultivating it. You might as well try it out."
Xiao Li's eyes brightened slightly.
Although it felt a strong connection to the cultivation technique in its mind, it was still somewhat afraid because it was something that had appeared out of nowhere.
Now that Lu Qing had said that, it suddenly felt much more at ease.
As Lu Qing's partner who has fought alongside him many times and knows him best, Xiao Li knows very well just how powerful Lu Qing is.
Since he said there was no problem, it could focus on its cultivation.
"Xiao Li, you should continue cultivating. If there are any problems, I will remind you in time."
Lu Qing guessed that once Xiao Li had mastered the techniques in his mind, he might be able to download and simulate them.
When the time comes, you will naturally know the secrets of that technique.
It's even possible that this could help us explore Xiao Li's origins.
Lu Qing had always been somewhat concerned about Xiao Li's background.
Especially after Xiao Li's bloodline transformation and the supernatural abilities it gained, Lu Qing felt even more that its origins were extraordinary.
Unfortunately, Xiao Li was also completely baffled as to how she ended up in the mountains behind Jiuli Village.
He has no memory of anything that happened before he woke up.
This made it impossible for Lu Qing to investigate.
But Xiao Li's activation of his own bloodline inheritance gave him a glimmer of hope.
Lu Qing intuitively felt that Xiao Li's background was extraordinary, and its slumber and awakening might involve some ancient secrets.
Of course, these are just Lu Qing's guesses at the moment, so he hasn't told Xiao Li about them yet.
Next, he tested Xiao Li's strength.
After being promoted to the Innate level spirit beast, it was discovered that its talent had transformed into supernatural abilities.
As a result, its speed and attack power have also been doubled.
Its claws and teeth, in particular, were already indestructible, capable of shattering rocks and breaking gold, and now they are even sharper, capable of easily cutting through even thousand-times-refined weapons.
Even when Lu Qing took out a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron, Xiao Li was able to scratch claw marks on it.
Looking at the claw marks on the meteorite, Lu Qing was somewhat astonished.
Although the meteorite iron he took out had not been refined or imbued with runes, what it showed was only the strength of the material itself, not its full power.
Even so, it is still harder than ordinary thousand-times-forged weapons, comparable to divine weapons.
Since Xiao Li was able to leave marks on it, it means that even a divine weapon could be ruined if it were scratched a few times.
Absolutely terrifying!
