"Can you feel something calling to you from the sacred mountain?"
Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.
The old doctor standing nearby also looked over.
"Yes, and that call was rather strange. I could sense it was on the Holy Mountain, but I couldn't pinpoint its exact location."
Hu Zezhi hesitated for a moment.
Lu Qing and the old doctor exchanged a glance. As expected of someone with great fortune, despite only being at the Qi and Blood Realm, he was able to sense the opportunities within the Holy Mountain just like them.
“I didn’t expect that you, Miss Hu, could also sense the strangeness in the sacred mountain,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “But there’s no need to worry, that thing is probably not ready to be born yet.”
"Young Master Lu, you can also sense what that is?" Hu Zezhi asked.
“I don’t know either.” Lu Qing shook his °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° head. “Perhaps we will only know what it is when the time comes.”
However, Miss Hu, this should be a good thing; you just need to wait patiently.
Hearing Lu Qing say this, Hu Zezhi finally felt relieved.
Otherwise, she would be quite flustered by these inexplicable sensations that are beyond her comprehension.
And so, Lu Qing and the others settled down temporarily in the courtyard next to Lin Zhirui, keeping to themselves and rarely showing their faces outside.
Two days later, in the morning, Lin Zhirui came over for tea and brought some news.
One of them was exactly as Lu Qing had guessed.
Following the people from the Cloud and Water Secret Realm, the people from the other three major secret realms also appeared the next day.
However, they didn't linger in the holy city either, but went straight to the holy mountain.
Therefore, not many people in the Holy City know about this.
Another piece of news concerns the old doctor's meditation in the sacred pool.
As luck would have it, there haven't been any newly promoted Innate Realm cultivators recently, so the Sacred Pool is needed.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Zhirui applied to the Holy Mountain, he received a response that the old doctor could go to the Holy Pool for enlightenment at any time.
"In that case, Master, when would you like to go and study the Sacred Pool?" Lu Qing asked.
The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do it today. More and more martial artists are gathering in the Holy City these days, and we don't know what will happen next."
"Completing our study of the Sacred Pool as soon as possible will fulfill one of the purposes of our trip."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirui immediately said, "In that case, I will go and make arrangements for you, Senior Chen."
That afternoon, the old doctor followed Lin Zhirui to the Holy City.
As for Lu Qing, having nothing else to do, he saw Ma Gu and Wei Zi'an, master and disciple, cultivating in the courtyard.
On a whim, he decided to give Magu and the others some pointers on their cultivation.
"Brother Lu Qing, would you like to check our cultivation progress?"
Upon hearing that Lu Qing was going to give them guidance in their cultivation, Ma Gu and Wei Zi'an immediately perked up.
"Not bad, Master Ma, you look very energetic and your knife skills are smooth and skillful. You seem to have made a lot of progress. Zi'an is the same; your staff skills have already reached a point of perfection."
We were all busy traveling before, now let me see how far you've all progressed in your cultivation.
"Then we'll demonstrate it for you again!"
Both Ma Gu and Wei Zian knew that Lu Qing's current cultivation level was unfathomable.
Even ordinary experts at the Innate Realm are no match for him.
Now that he's told me he'll give me some pointers, I immediately start practicing.
"Master Ma, your cultivation has progressed well. You have already reached the peak of the Bone and Tendon Realm, and you are only a hair's breadth away from the Inner Organ Realm."
Lu Qing was somewhat surprised when he saw Ma Gu demonstrate the Mountain and Sea Blade.
Compared to before, Ma Gu's swordsmanship has not only advanced further, but his cultivation has also greatly improved. He has completely honed his bones and muscles to perfection, and is only one step away from breaking through to the Inner Organ Realm.
It should be noted that when they first set off from Jiuli Village, Ma Gu's cultivation level was only at the Great Perfection of the Bone and Tendon Realm.
"I don't know why, but recently, while driving the carriage, I unknowingly broke through to a higher level." Ma Gu scratched his head.
Lu Qing nodded, understanding what was going on.
Since he engraved the magic array on the carriage, the carriage's speed has greatly increased.
Once the two horses pulling the cart transformed into Dragonblood Horses, their speed experienced a qualitative leap.
It is no easy task to steadily control a carriage that moves at such incredible speed.
Magu had to be completely focused on controlling the carriage and could not afford to make the slightest mistake.
Otherwise, a moment's carelessness could cause the carriage to veer off course and overturn into a ditch.
During this period, Lu Qing and his group had been traveling day and night.
Driving the carriage at full speed for such a long time undoubtedly put a tremendous strain on Ma Gu's mind and spirit.
It's safe to say that once he fully absorbs the experience he's gained during this period, breaking through to the Inner Organ Realm is a certainty.
With time and further development, it's not impossible for him to become a martial arts master.
After Lu Qing explained these things to Ma Gu, the middle-aged man immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
"Brother Lu Qing, do you think I have a chance to become a martial arts grandmaster in the future?"
"That depends on you, Master Ma, but your mental strength is now very powerful, no less than that of many people who have reached the peak of the Inner Organ Realm."
With proper reflection and diligent practice, it's not impossible.
Magoo was stunned and stood there.
My mind went blank; I was completely stunned by this sudden news.
Seeing this, Lu Qing didn't disturb him, but simply let him quietly process the information.
After a while, Ma Gu came to his senses and looked at Lu Qing, saying, "Brother Lu Qing, what should I do?"
"It's simple, just break through to the Inner Organ Realm first," Lu Qing said with a smile. "Master Ma, you've already accumulated enough; you're just missing that final step."
After saying that, he stretched out a finger and pointed it at Magu's body.
"Do not resist, concentrate and calm your mind, and carefully feel the changes in the force I apply to your body."
Upon hearing this, Magu immediately closed his eyes and focused his mind completely.
Seeing this, Lu Qing nodded slightly.
This is the result of Magu's recent experience in driving the carriage; he can now concentrate his mind very easily.
Without further ado, Lu Qing began to lightly tap Ma Gu's body with his fingers.
With each finger strike, a peculiar force dispersed Ma Gu's vital energy, guiding it to permeate into his internal organs.
Ma Gu focused intently on experiencing the changes in his body's Qi and blood, as his internal organs were shaken and permeated by the unique force pointed out by Lu Qing.
Gradually, a sense of enlightenment rose within him.
The next moment, the blood and qi in his body began to circulate with his thoughts, and like the peculiar force used by Lu Qing, they began to vibrate gently.
"You grasped it quite quickly."
Seeing this, Lu Qing withdrew his finger and made no further move.
However, even though Magu had already grasped the key, the fluctuations of his qi and blood did not stop. They continued to vibrate at a peculiar frequency and slowly seeped into his internal organs.
After a while, suddenly, Magu trembled, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.
At the same time, his eyes opened, filled with surprise.
