"I see."
After listening to Lu Qing's words, the old doctor suddenly realized what was going on.
He didn't know how long it would take to consolidate his newly broken Golden Core realm.
But judging from Lu Qing's expression, he clearly had a plan in mind.
"So Master, there's no need to worry. Even if there are really strong people in Suspended Mountain who break through to the Golden Core Realm, we may not be afraid of them."
Lu Qing smiled slightly.
His tone conveyed a firm and unwavering confidence.
"It's good that you have a good idea, Aqing."
The old doctor did not doubt Lu Qing's words, because he knew that his disciple never did anything without certainty.
Although the Golden Core Realm is very powerful, Lu Qing must have some reason for saying he is not afraid.
After his master left, Lu Qing continued to comprehend the evolution of the rules of the surrounding world.
Previously, his cultivation level was low, and his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth was extremely shallow.
Now that I've entered the Foundation Establishment stage, although my understanding is still shallow, I'm gradually able to grasp a bit of its meaning.
"Young master, are you really not worried that the old guy in the Suspended Mountain will come looking for trouble after he breaks through to the Innate Realm?"
Yan's figure appeared beside Lu Qing.
"What, even you, Senior Yan, are worried? As a dignified artifact spirit, you've seen your fair share of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, so why would you care about a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator?"
Lu Qing joked.
Unexpectedly, Yan's expression turned serious.
"I know that you, young master, are exceptionally talented and virtually invincible among those of the same cultivation level."
But the Golden Core Realm is different. Those who have transformed into magical power are far more powerful than those in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The power of the same spell, whether activated by spiritual power or magical power, is also qualitatively different.
Therefore, young master, you must never underestimate any Golden Core cultivator.
Seeing that Yan was speaking seriously, Lu Qing also became serious.
"I have kept your advice in mind."
Don't worry, Senior Yan. I naturally have awe for the power of those at the Golden Core Realm.
"Unless absolutely necessary, I, a junior, would not risk provoking them."
Yan looked at Lu Qing for a while, and seeing that he really didn't seem to be joking, he nodded:
"It's good that you understand, young master. Although the Fire Cauldron and the Universe Qi Bag are powerful, your cultivation level is still a bit low, and the power you can unleash is limited."
Even with two spiritual artifacts in hand, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand against a true Golden Core cultivator.
"I understand."
Yan didn't say anything more.
Although it had been by Lu Qing's side for so long, in Yan's eyes, Lu Qing still had a mysterious aura that it could not fully see through.
Since he is so confident, he probably has some trump card that it doesn't know about.
The days that followed remained peaceful. Lu Qing began to comprehend the evolution of the rules of heaven and earth, and he began to understand them more and more.
On this day, during his contemplation, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a sudden enlightenment arose in his heart.
A mysterious aura emanated from his body.
"I have finally mastered this minor supernatural power of 【Great Strength】."
My current strength is probably not much weaker than that of a Golden Core Realm body cultivator.
Lu Qing felt the surging power within his body, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
He could sense that with his current strength, even a slight tremor would likely completely destroy the bamboo forest behind the mountain.
This power has already exceeded the scope of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and is probably no less than that of the Golden Core Realm.
"Young master, what's wrong with you!"
The "Flame" within the Fire Cauldron manifested as a phantom beside Lu Qing, its illusory face filled with shock. The aura surging from Lu Qing made even the phantom, which had not yet recovered to its peak, feel a pang of fear.
This is power that is completely beyond what someone in the Foundation Establishment stage could possess.
“Senior Yan, there’s no need to panic. It’s just that I’ve achieved some success in cultivating one of my secret techniques,” Lu Qing said.
"Secret technique?"
The look of surprise on Yan's face did not fade.
It was somewhat unbelievable; what kind of secret technique could have enabled Lu Qing's strength to rise to such an extent?
At least back then, the Li Huo Sect certainly didn't have such a terrifying secret technique.
Thinking of this, Yan's heart suddenly stirred, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
"Young master, some secret techniques can make your strength increase dramatically in a short period of time, but if you consume your potential as a result, it will be too much of a loss."
Lu Qing was taken aback, then realized what "Yan" meant.
"What, Senior 'Yan' thinks I've cultivated some kind of demonic secret technique?" Lu Qing said with a smile.
"炎" did not speak, but its meaning was self-evident.
In particular, it thought that there was a mysterious demonic cultivator's soul inside the Fire Cauldron.
The demonic cultivator was also enslaved by Lu Qing's soul, and the two could communicate through the enslavement mark.
Could it be that the demonic cultivator really bewitched Lu Qing?
"Young master, demonic cultivators are always treacherous and cunning. Their words are always full of lies and traps. You must be careful to discern and not believe them easily."
"It seems that you really misunderstood, senior."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing immediately understood the meaning of "炎".
It believed that it had been bewitched by demonic cultivators and had practiced some evil magic that was harmful to itself.
However, Yan's concern still warmed his heart.
At least this ancient artifact spirit is genuinely thinking of me.
"What, young master, didn't you cultivate the secret technique given by that demonic cultivator?"
“Of course not. You know that I cultivate the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】, so how could I possibly cultivate those demonic techniques that would damage my foundation?” Lu Qing shook his head and said.
"Young master, your strength..."
It wasn't that "Yan" didn't believe Lu Qing, but rather that Lu Qing's strength had increased far too unbelievably.
Aside from those evil techniques that damage one's foundation and potential in exchange for power, "Yan" couldn't think of any other secret method that could increase Lu Qing's power to this extent in such a short time.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing suddenly smiled.
"Senior Yan, have you ever heard of the Path of Supernatural Powers?"
"Supernatural powers?"
Yan was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened: "Young master, are you talking about supernatural powers?!"
Their voices all became somewhat shrill.
"good."
Lu Qing dispersed the supernatural power within his body, and gradually concealed his aura.
"When I was undergoing my tribulation, I was fortunate enough to be granted a divine power and secret technique by Heaven. What I have just achieved was merely a result of my understanding and cultivation of that divine power."
"It's actually a supernatural power..."
Yan's gaze was shocked as he murmured.
As a spirit that has lived for tens of thousands of years, "Yan" certainly knows what supernatural powers are.
However, such supernatural abilities are extremely rare. Even in the ancient era of cultivation, only a very few lucky cultivators possessed them by sheer chance.
Those cultivators, once they successfully matured, almost all became powerful figures in their own right, ranking among the top experts in the entire cultivation world.
Now, Lu Qing actually possesses supernatural powers?
