"This is......"
"The Dao Sound of Heaven and Earth?"
Lu Qing and the old doctor, who were preparing to study the poisonous blood, were startled when they sensed the massive fluctuations in the heavens and earth. Then, a look of shock appeared on their faces.
Because they discovered that this fluctuation of heaven and earth was exactly the same as the Dao sound of heaven and earth at the beginning of the change of the rules of heaven and earth.
Immediately, neither of them could afford to continue studying the poisonous blood.
He quickly left the room and looked up at the sky.
"elder brother!"
Xiao Yan carried Xiao Li and ran out of the room.
Clearly, she and Xiao Li also heard this Daoist voice.
"Young Master Lu!" At this moment, Hu Zezhi also limped out of her room, a hint of panic on her face. "What was that sound?"
"I'll explain later. Let's talk about it on the roof first."
With a solemn expression, Lu Qing held Xiao Yan in one arm and Hu Zezhi's arm in the other, and with a few leaps, he arrived at the roof of the inn.
As for the old doctor, he was even more relaxed, strolling leisurely and floating lightly onto the roof.
Hu Zezhi's eyes widened at his relaxed demeanor.
Only then did she realize that the kind and gentle old doctor was actually a martial arts master she could hardly have imagined.
The roof of the inn was quite flat. Lu Qing helped Hu Zezhi sit down before looking up at the sky.
Buzz...
At this moment, another invisible sound of the Dao of Heaven and Earth resounded, echoing throughout the world.
"Young Master Lu, this..."
Hu Zezhi then realized that the sound she had just heard was coming from high above, and her mouth immediately gaped open.
"Keep quiet."
However, Lu Qing didn't have time to explain to her at that moment.
He was observing the situation in the sky.
Today is the day of the full moon.
But then he realized that the night sky was exceptionally clear, and the moon was exceptionally bright and clear, giving off a vague sense of oppression.
Seeing this, Hu Zezhi had no choice but to suppress her questions and look up at the sky together.
Buzz...
Another resounding voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
And so, the group remained quietly on the rooftop, listening to the awe-inspiring sounds of the universe resonating through the heavens and earth.
Finally, after the ninth channel finished playing, the world returned to calm.
However, Lu Qing and the old doctor's expressions did not relax.
Because they vaguely sensed that a certain pressure between heaven and earth was growing heavier and heavier.
The bright moon appeared even rounder and larger.
It seems that something is being conceived within it, wanting to break free.
Lu Qing stared intently at the bright moon in the sky, trying to discern something from it.
But this time, his invincible superpower failed for the first time.
Although he could see the bright moon, he didn't know if it was because the distance was too far or because the moon's level of existence was too high.
He looked for a long time, but couldn't see any note appear in his field of vision.
However, although his supernatural abilities could not reveal any useful information, Lu Qing could sense that some kind of aura was brewing in the world.
"Aww~"
As that strange aura began to build, Xiao Li in Xiao Yan's arms started to become inexplicably restless.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan gently stroked its head.
Lu Qing's heart stirred, and he was about to ask.
The next moment, he heard their two tall horses neighing excitedly from the inn's stable.
Even faintly, the howls of wild beasts could be heard from the mountains and forests near Yunlai Town.
Before Lu Qing could figure out what was going on, he suddenly turned his head and looked up at the sky.
At the same time, the old doctor called out softly, "Aqing, it's coming!"
As the old doctor finished speaking.
The strange aura between heaven and earth seemed to have reached its peak, and the bright moon high in the sky suddenly shone brightly.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Qing saw countless beams of moonlight transform into countless stars, falling to earth like shooting stars.
"This is......"
Upon witnessing such an unforgettable scene, Lu Qing's eyes widened suddenly. He thought of a legend recorded in the Li Huo Sect's heritage.
"Aww!"
Seeing the moonlight pouring down from the sky, Xiao Li was instantly excited.
It flew straight up into the sky.
It could sense that the moonlight was of great benefit to it.
Xiao Li's pounce was incredibly fast, sending her soaring more than ten feet into the sky.
However, although the moonlight looked close, it was actually extremely far away from them.
As expected, Xiao Li missed her target and had to lightly flip back onto the roof.
"Xiao Li, don't rush, wait a little longer!"
Seeing Xiao Li fall back onto the roof and try to pounce again, Lu Qing reached out and grabbed it.
He then turned to his master and said, “Master, these moonlight essences are a great opportunity for me. I need to find a way to collect as much of them as possible. Please help me protect the Dharma.”
"good!"
The old doctor didn't ask any more questions and simply nodded.
Seeing that his master had agreed, Lu Qing immediately sat down cross-legged on the roof.
Time was of the essence, and he didn't have time to hide it. He reached into his robes and pulled out a palm-sized jade bottle.
Then he placed the jade bottle in front of him.
The next moment, his thoughts raced, and the divine soul talisman that had been hidden within the earth spirit pearl suddenly emerged from the acupoint between his eyebrows.
It grew larger with the wind, transforming into a gigantic talisman, radiating immense power and majesty, pushing the Earth Spirit Orb to the bottom and reclaiming its central position in the acupoint space.
As the divine soul talisman unleashed its power, a divine soul fluctuation that startled even the old doctor began to emanate from Lu Qing's body.
For the first time, he truly realized just how powerful the divine soul power within his disciple was.
However, Lu Qing didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters at the moment.
After activating the Divine Soul Talisman, he began to rapidly form hand seals.
Soon, a glimmer of light appeared between his hands, hovering in mid-air.
As this spark of inspiration appeared, the old doctor began to feel the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuate and converge towards Lu Qing.
Centered on the aura emanating from his hands, everyone threw themselves into it.
As a large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed, that point of spiritual light rapidly expanded, eventually swelling into a talisman radiating a hazy white light and filled with a profound aura.
"go!"
After the Qi talisman was condensed, Lu Qing did not hesitate at all. He pointed forward with a hand seal, and the Qi talisman immediately flew forward and landed on the white jade bottle he had placed in front of him.
With the Qi talisman activated, the white jade bottle trembled violently. The next moment, a burst of light appeared, and when it dimmed again, mysterious patterns had appeared on the bottle.
Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to see that the pattern is exactly the same as the Qi talisman that Lu Qing had previously condensed.
After imprinting a Qi talisman on the jade bottle, Lu Qing did not stop. Next, at an extremely fast speed, he condensed two more Qi talismans and then poured them into the white jade bottle.
He then stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the sky, and smiled: "Thank goodness, I made it just in time."
Fortunately, his spiritual power has recently improved greatly under the nourishment of the Earth Spirit Orb.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to continuously condense three spiritual energy talismans in such a short period of time.
At this moment, the surroundings became quiet.
Everyone was stunned by the sight of Lu Qing refining the jade bottle.
Hu Zezhi, in particular, was stunned and speechless when she saw Lu Qing's miraculous, almost divine, skills.
Lu Qing picked up the white jade bottle and sensed it with his divine soul power.
"Not bad, although it's a bit rough, it should be usable."
"Awooo... Awooo..."
At this moment, Xiao Li jumped onto Lu Qing's shoulder, pointed to the sky, and called out to him anxiously.
It turned out to be the moonlight falling from the high heavens, finally about to descend upon the earth.
"Don't rush, I'll start collecting now."
After comforting Xiao Li for a moment, Lu Qing tossed the jade bottle forward and said with a slight thought, "Go!"
The jade bottle gently landed at the highest point of the roof, and the next moment, a shimmering light appeared on its surface.
Then, a strange scene unfolded.
Within a radius of several miles, the moonlight that was originally about to fall to the earth was suddenly affected by some strange suction force.
They all changed direction and moved closer to Lu Qing and his group.
"It really works!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing was overjoyed.
He was just trying it out, but it actually worked!
Without hesitation, he unleashed his full power of soul energy to activate the spiritual talisman on the jade bottle.
The next moment, the jade bottle shone brightly, and the suction force suddenly increased.
The speed at which the moonlight in the sky shifted suddenly increased, and it all gathered above the inn, like birds returning to their nests, falling into the jade bottle.
"Awooo! Awooo!"
Seeing so much moonlight essence being absorbed into the jade bottle by Lu Qing, Xiao Li jumped up and down excitedly, her ears trembling.
The moonlight in the sky comes quickly and goes quickly.
Soon, the sky returned to calm, and the once dazzlingly bright moon returned to its usual appearance.
However, Lu Qing could still sense that Mingyue seemed to have a slightly inexplicable meaning.
Of course, this is not the time to concern yourself with these things.
Seeing that the moonlight in the sky had faded, Lu Qing immediately made a hand seal, and the light from the jade bottle receded, flying back into his hand.
Lu Qing took out a jade stopper and put the jade bottle on.
"Aww!"
Xiao Li couldn't wait any longer and jumped onto Lu Qing's shoulder, looking at him expectantly.
"Not now. If you take it now, you'll probably be unconscious for who knows how long. Let me study it first before giving it to you," Lu Qing said seriously.
He wasn't sure if the contents of the bottle were what he suspected, so he couldn't just give it to Xiao Li without careful consideration.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li was anxious, but it also knew that it could only listen to the two-legged creatures.
So, despite his reluctance, he agreed and returned to Xiaoyan's side dejectedly, his tail drooping.
"Ah Qing, you can tell me now, what exactly happened just now?" the old doctor said.
“Master, our previous predictions are probably going to come true,” Lu Qing sighed.
"You mean..."
"The reappearance of the Daoist voice of Heaven and Earth tonight indicates that the rules of Heaven and Earth have evolved to another stage and are about to undergo new changes."
This change, however, will have a much greater impact, affecting all living things.
If I am not mistaken, the moonlight just now was the essence of moonlight.
This essence of moonlight has the effect of awakening the intelligence of all living beings and purifying their bloodline.
Even plants, trees, bamboo, and rocks, if one is fortunate enough to absorb and refine enough of them, may one day transform into spirits and gain sentience.
Tonight, the essence of moonlight, falling from the bright moon high in the sky, is abundant and magnificent.
It is unknown how many living beings will have the opportunity to undergo transformation.
After this ordeal, from now on, all sorts of rare and exotic beasts, magical creatures, and rare herbs will likely gradually appear in the world.
Hu Zezhi was completely bewildered by Lu Qing's words.
The old doctor seemed to be deep in thought.
"So, according to you, the essence of moonlight just now was an opportunity bestowed upon all living things by heaven and earth?"
"Indeed, the most important effect of this moonlight essence is that it can transform the stubborn into the spiritual, and awaken the intelligence of all things."
"For humans like us who are born with intelligence, the effect is there, but not significant," Lu Qing replied.
"Indeed, the heavens and earth are fair. The opportunities that are bestowed are not only useful to the human race, but also to all other living beings."
The old doctor gave a compliment and didn't feel any regret.
“Master, the second appearance of the Dao sound of heaven and earth tonight suggests that the rules of heaven and earth have evolved to a certain extent.”
There are likely to be more changes to come.
"Indeed, I have sensed it; the rules of heaven and earth have become more perfect." The old doctor nodded.
He was a naturally powerful being, and thus had a greater capacity to perceive the subtle changes in the rules of heaven and earth.
"I have a feeling that something big is about to happen at the Holy Mountain soon, and we should get there as soon as possible."
After the second appearance of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, Lu Qing discovered that the attraction he had felt before was even stronger.
He had a premonition that the great opportunity he had been sensing all along was indeed there.
It probably won't be long before that opportunity appears.
"We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
The old doctor, who also seemed to have a premonition, nodded without hesitation.
"And also, Miss Hu."
After seeing that his master agreed, Lu Qing looked at Hu Zezhi, who was still dumbfounded.
"Uh, what?" Hu Zezhi came to her senses, but her expression was still somewhat blank.
There was no way around it; what she saw and heard tonight had a huge impact on her.
It was something she couldn't process at all.
“Miss Hu, I originally intended to heal your leg before sending you to the Xuanxin Sect.”
But the situation is urgent now, and we must get to the Holy Mountain as soon as possible. I'm afraid we won't be able to take a detour to send you to the Xuanxin Sect.”
"You're going to the Holy Mountain?" Hu Zezhi asked in surprise.
She certainly knew about the Holy Mountain; it was the most sacred place in the Central Plains.
However, she did not know that Lu Qing and the others' destination was the Holy Mountain before this, and they did not mention it during the day.
“That’s right, so please forgive me, Miss Hu. I find Yunlai Town quite peaceful and the townspeople kind. Why don’t you stay here and heal your leg injury first, and we’ll come back to pick you up after we’ve finished our business at the Holy Mountain.”
"Of course, Miss Hu, don't worry about the travel expenses; we'll take care of it for you."
Lu Qing originally wanted to spend some time with this person with great fortune and observe him to see what was so special about someone who was favored by fortune.
But now, he simply can't spare the thought for such things.
Upon hearing this, Hu Zezhi's mind immediately became flustered.
To be fair, staying in Yunlai Town to recuperate was indeed a good choice.
After all, she had overheard Lu Qing's conversation with the old doctor, and she feared that their journey to the Holy Mountain would be fraught with danger.
But for some reason, she didn't want to stay there.
Finally, after struggling for a while, Hu Zezhi mustered her courage and looked at Lu Qing, saying:
"Young Master Lu, may I accompany you to the Holy Mountain?" (End of Chapter)
