Early in the morning, Lu Qing was sitting cross-legged in the bamboo grove behind the Lu family's residence.
He was drawing in the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, absorbing it into his body.
Time flies, and another month has passed since Lu Qing returned from Xizhou.
Throughout this month, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth continued to increase.
The spiritual energy in Jiuli Village, under the regulation and gathering of the array, is so concentrated that it is no less dense than what Lu Qing felt in Zhongzhou.
Of course, so much time has passed, and the spiritual energy in Zhongzhou must be much richer than when Lu Qing and the others left.
But in any case, the spiritual energy in Jiuli Village is now sufficient for his and his master's cultivation.
As Lu Qing cultivated, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounding him became increasingly abundant.
Later on, it even showed signs of condensing into a misty state.
Suddenly, Lu Qing's body trembled, and he absorbed all the dense spiritual energy around him.
Immediately afterwards, a sense of fulfillment emanated from him.
"Congratulations, young man, you have reached the perfect state of Qi Refining."
The figure of "Yan" materialized beside Lu Qing and congratulated him.
At the same time, he was amazed at how fast Lu Qing's cultivation speed was.
It hasn't been long since he last broke through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and now he has broken through again, reaching the Perfection of Qi Refining. He is only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Qing was cultivating the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】, which was known for its slow progress in the ancient cultivation era, no one would believe it.
"The progress is still a bit slow," Lu Qing said, shaking his head.
"inflammation":......
Lu Qing sensed Yan's silence and offered no further explanation.
He understood the meaning of "flame"; compared to ordinary cultivators, his cultivation speed was indeed extremely fast.
With his solid foundation and the blessing of his natal magic treasure, the Five Elements Gourd, even the Five Elements Body Refining Technique could not limit his cultivation speed.
But Lu Qing's goal was never to compare himself with cultivators of the same level.
More than a month has passed since the last time the sound of the Dao of Heaven and Earth was heard.
The evolution of the rules of heaven and earth has gradually reached a new limit.
Lu Qing estimated that it wouldn't be long before the fifth Heavenly Dao Sound would resound.
Based on previous experiences, each time the Daoist voice of Heaven and Earth resounds, the rules of Heaven and Earth become more perfect.
Those that can accommodate something will become increasingly powerful.
The current rules of heaven and earth allow cultivators to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
When the Daoist sounds again in the next world, it will likely evolve to the point where it can accommodate the birth of a Golden Core Realm expert.
Whoever breaks through first will greatly influence the global landscape.
Lu Qing didn't aspire to be the first to reach the Golden Core realm; that was unrealistic.
But he must ensure that he has the confidence to face those at the Golden Core stage.
This is clearly not something that someone in the Qi Refining Realm can achieve; he also needs a qualitative breakthrough.
"I hope this fifth Heavenly Dao Sound can arrive a little later."
Lu Qing has now reached the pinnacle of Qi Refining, and with his extraordinary abilities, he is almost free from any confusion regarding his cultivation level.
With a little more time to prepare, it wouldn't be difficult for him to enter the Foundation Establishment stage.
He had a premonition that after this fifth Heavenly Dao Sound, the world would undergo a major change.
Putting aside everything else, there will definitely be other actions happening on the other side of the Suspended Mountain.
Therefore, he needs to have sufficient strength to cope with future changes.
"Um?"
Just as Lu Qing was pondering this in his heart, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation.
He looked towards the courtyard halfway up the mountain with surprise: "Master has broken through?"
A few days ago, my master said he was going into seclusion for a few days, but I didn't expect him to break through so quickly.
A gentle breeze stirred around Lu Qing, and in the next moment, he had disappeared into the bamboo forest.
Soon, we arrived at the small courtyard on the hillside.
"Brother, you're back!"
Xiao Yan, who had just finished practicing the 【Qi Absorption Technique】 in the courtyard, was delighted to see Lu Qing return.
After more than a month of training, the little guy has mastered the 【Qi Absorption Technique】 to a considerable degree.
With abundant spiritual energy within his body, he had accumulated some strength in the Qi Refining Realm and was not far from reaching the Minor Completion of Qi Refining Realm.
After all, Xiaoyan's talent for cultivation is also exceptional.
According to Yan, even in the ancient era of cultivation, he would be considered a peerless genius, a core disciple of a top-tier cultivation sect.
"Um."
Lu Qing patted the little guy's head and looked towards the house.
He could sense that his master was still in the meditation room, presumably experiencing the changes that followed his breakthrough.
So he didn't go in to disturb them, but stood in the courtyard, waiting quietly.
After a while, the sound of the door opening was heard from inside the house, and soon, the old doctor appeared at the door.
"Grandpa Chen, you're out of seclusion!"
Xiaoyan shouted happily.
"Hehe, just came out of quarantine."
The old doctor stroked his beard, his face beaming with smiles, clearly in a very good mood.
"Congratulations, Master, on reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Lu Qing also offered his congratulations with great joy.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh again.
Master's talent for cultivation is simply too exaggerated.
He had been baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation, and with the solid foundation condensed from the primordial energy of the Nine Paths World, plus the assistance of his natal magic treasure, the Five Elements Gourd.
His cultivation speed is different from that of ordinary people, which is understandable.
His master didn't have as many opportunities as him, but his cultivation speed wasn't much slower, and he reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage much earlier.
Now, he has broken through the barrier and entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
Such progress in cultivation is astonishing.
Even Yan couldn't help but marvel in Lu Qing's mind: "Young master, your master's comprehension is exceptionally strong, a rarity in the world."
"As expected, you can't hide anything from you, Aqing," the old doctor said with a smile. "A few days ago, I treated Zihao and the others."
From the strange runes on their bodies, we gleaned some other insights into the workings of the body's vital energy.
With a sudden realization, he also glimpsed a trace of the profound mystery of Foundation Establishment.
I originally only planned to retreat for a few days to organize my thoughts, but I didn't expect to break through directly.
"Master's talent for cultivation is truly admirable," Lu Qing exclaimed.
I was also surprised.
He naturally knew what his master meant by runes.
Those were rune marks planted by demonic cultivators in the bodies of Wei Zihao and the others; they belonged to demonic cultivation techniques.
Unexpectedly, Master was able to gain inspiration from that, decipher the mysteries of Foundation Building, and break through to a higher realm.
This level of understanding is simply unimaginable.
"Don't try to sweet-talk this old man," the old doctor said with a laugh.
When it comes to talent in cultivation, is there anyone who can compare to my disciple?
Just as the master and apprentice were praising each other, Lu Qing suddenly felt a slight stirring in his heart.
He sensed it; a wisp of energy was lingering outside Jiuli Village.
And that aura was quite familiar to him.
Lu Qing smiled and said, "Master, it seems we have guests."
