"Brother, what is this?"
In the evening, at the Lu family home, after dinner, Xiao Yan looked at the jade bottle that Lu Qing had taken out and asked curiously.
"This is good stuff, dessert after dinner, it's for you," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Sweet?" The little guy's eyes lit up immediately.
She likes to eat sweets.
"Yes, it is a little sweet. Try it."
Xiao Yan obediently opened her mouth, and Lu Qing dripped a drop of Earth Vein Elixir into her mouth.
"It's so sweet!"
Xiaoyan smacked her lips and said happily.
Then she looked at Lu Qing expectantly: "Brother, just a little bit?"
"You can't eat too much of this. You like sweets, so I'll make you some desserts tomorrow."
Xiao Yan is still young, and the energy of the Earth Vein Elixir is extraordinary. Although the medicine is mild, Lu Qing still dared not give her too much at once.
Let's try one drop first and see the effect.
If she can digest more, then it's not too late to give it to her later.
"Then it's a promise, brother." Xiaoyan was immediately happy to hear this.
After taking a drop of the Earth Vein Elixir, Xiao Yan quickly became drowsy.
Not long after, her eyelids grew heavy, and she slowly fell asleep next to her brother.
Lu Qing carried her to the small bed and covered her with a blanket.
Xiao Li jumped up and lay down in its little nest made of bamboo at the head of the bed, silently guarding the tiny two-legged creature.
After covering Xiaoyan with a light blanket and feeling her steady breathing, Lu Qing felt relieved. He walked out of the room, into the yard, and sat down in his favorite recliner.
It was nearly dusk, and Lu Qing looked at the setting sun in the distance, feeling a sense of contentment.
His trip into the mountains yielded tremendous rewards, granting him opportunities that others could only dream of.
But in the mountains, you still need to be quite mentally alert.
After all, there are many poisonous insects and snakes in the mountains, and if you are too relaxed, you may be in big trouble.
Now that he's back home, he can finally relax completely.
Gazing at the sunset, Lu Qing's mind went blank for a while before he involuntarily started thinking about things again.
Master is now helping him refine blood-nourishing and qi-boosting pills.
He originally intended to help and, incidentally, practice his alchemy skills.
However, his master had just broken through to the next level and was full of energy. Finding him a nuisance, he kicked him out of the medicine room.
He said he could make some blood-nourishing and qi-boosting pills all by himself, without needing anyone's help.
Moreover, using century-old ginseng to practice alchemy is too wasteful, and he couldn't bear to see Lu Qing squander such good medicinal materials.
Lu Qing didn't insist. Anyway, he knew how to make the Blood-Nourishing and Qi-Boosting Pill, so he could practice it later.
Once his master has finished refining the blood-nourishing and qi-boosting pills, he can devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
At that time, his strength will enter a period of rapid improvement.
Now, all you need to do is wait patiently for two or three days.
Besides martial arts training, the cultivation of runes should not be neglected.
Although the path of runes is weak in the early stages, once one truly masters it, one can master all sorts of mysterious powers, something that martial arts can never compare to.
How could Lu Qing possibly give up such miraculous power?
Thinking of this, Lu Qing took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, activated his supernatural ability, entered a state of calm and tranquility, and slowly began to observe.
He had actually gained some insight in the Jade Transformation Cave, but was interrupted by Xiao Li's awakening.
Now we can continue to ponder and comprehend it.
As darkness gradually fell, Lu Qing, who was in a state of deep meditation, did not notice the passage of time.
Only when the moon was high in the sky and the stars were shining brightly in the dead of night did he suddenly come to his senses.
I looked around and then looked up at the sky, feeling somewhat lost.
"It's already this late. When you're trying to understand runes, it's really easy to lose track of time."
The same thing happened in the Jade Transformation Cave. He felt that only a few hours had passed at most, but in reality, more than a day and a night had passed outside.
"However, the time spent was worth it."
Lu Qing looked at the silver in his hand and smiled.
He had already grasped the meaning of the patterns on the silver.
I believe that with a few more contemplations, I will be able to fully comprehend it.
Of course, understanding the pattern on a piece of silver does not mean that he has entered the path of runes.
If the Way of Runes were that simple, it wouldn't have disappeared, leaving only a jade-like cave.
This lineage is profound and mysterious, and Lu Qing still has a long way to go if he wants to fully master it.
After putting away the silver, Lu Qing stood up and found that his clothes were already damp.
However, his clothes were soaked by the night.
Fortunately, he is now a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist with a strong physique.
If it were an ordinary person with a weaker constitution, sitting in the courtyard for half an evening like this would probably cause them to catch a cold and fall ill.
Shaking his head, Lu Qing circulated his qi and blood, causing his body temperature to rise rapidly. After drying off the layer of dampness, he returned to the room to rest.
The next morning, Lu Qing got up, practiced his boxing a few times, and then went to make breakfast.
Just as I finished preparing breakfast, I heard Xiaoyan and Xiaoli playing around in the room.
He went into the room and saw the two little ones rolling around on the bed.
"elder brother!"
Xiao Yan called out as soon as she saw Lu Qing enter.
"You're awake! You slept all night, how are you feeling?"
"Brother, Xiaoyan seems to have gotten fairer!"
The little guy stretched out his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and showed Lu Qing his chubby little arm.
Her arms, which were originally somewhat dark, are now as white and tender as lotus roots, and are very cute.
Even without her showing it, Lu Qing could already tell that Xiao Yan had changed a lot.
Lately, the food at home has been quite good, and Xiaoyan's health has improved considerably since he first transmigrated, thanks to his care.
Not only did he gain a lot of weight, but even his originally dry and yellow hair improved a lot.
Although it has improved, the treatment period is still short, and the hair is still a bit yellow.
And because I play outside every day, my skin has gotten quite tanned.
Now, not only is her hair black and shiny, but her skin has also become fair and tender.
She has become even cuter and more lovable.
"Yes, not only has it become whiter, but its hair has also turned black," Lu Qing nodded.
"Really? Xiaoyan's hair has turned black?" The little guy's eyes lit up.
Ever since her friends told her that her hair wasn't pretty, Xiaoyan has been very concerned about it.
Now that her brother has told her that her hair has turned black, she immediately becomes concerned.
“Of course it’s true. You can see it when you get up and wash.” Lu Qing nodded.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyan quickly got out of bed: "Brother, I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face!"
After running outside to the yard and looking at her reflection in the water in the washbasin for a while, Xiaoyan exclaimed happily, "Brother, Xiaoyan's hair has really turned black!"
"Your brother already said that as long as you eat well and sleep well, your hair will become beautiful soon," Lu Qing said with a smile.
At the same time, he activated his supernatural ability and secretly checked the little guy's information.
Soon, a faint red light emerged from Xiaoyan's body.
【Lu Xiaoyan: A human cub, female.】
【The lucky little guy seems to have unexpectedly awakened a special talent after consuming the Earth Vein Elixir.】
【Ice-like Skin and Jade Bones (Not Fully Activated): A pure and immaculate physique, a natural talent for cultivation. Cultivating water-based, cold-attribute techniques will yield twice the results with half the effort.】
Lu Qing was very surprised to see the information appearing on Xiao Yan's body.
Not only because of the red supernatural light that was on par with Xiao Li's, but also because of the two notes behind it.
Stimulated by the medicinal power of the Earth Vein Elixir, Xiao Yan actually awakened a talent called Ice Skin and Jade Bones.
And this talent, according to the description on the note, is quite remarkable.
He's a true cultivation genius.
only......
"Not fully activated?"
Lu Qing looked at the words on the third note, lost in thought.
Is it because I only consumed one drop of Earth Vein Elixir that it wasn't fully activated?
Lu Qing felt that it should be.
Xiao Li's awakened invisibility talent was fully activated after consuming five points of Earth Vein Elixir.
Xiaoyan only took one drop, which is definitely not enough.
To fully activate this Ice Skin and Jade Bone talent, it will probably require a few more drops of spiritual liquid.
However, he has plenty of earth vein essence liquid.
From the Jade Transformation Cave, Lu Qing obtained approximately forty drops of Earth Vein Elixir.
He used three drops himself, five drops each for Xiao Li and his master, and one drop for Xiao Yan last night, for a total of fourteen drops.
He still has more than twenty drops of earth vein essence in his hand.
Even if he gives Xiaoyan four more drops, he will still have about twenty drops left.
Of these twenty drops of earth vein essence liquid, ten were reserved for him to cultivate the secret technique of the Divine Talisman Sect for tempering the soul in advance.
He can at least keep ten drops for emergencies.
Therefore, Lu Qing was not worried at all about not having enough Earth Vein Elixir.
On the contrary, seeing that Xiaoyan had unexpectedly activated such a special cultivation talent made Lu Qing happy but also somewhat speechless.
After consuming the Earth Vein Elixir, Xiao Li and Xiao Yan both awakened their talents, and their master's cultivation also improved, soon breaking through to the Innate Realm.
He, aside from a slight increase in potential, didn't receive any special benefits.
So in the end, everyone else is exceptionally talented, and he's the only good-for-nothing?
Lu Qing's feelings were complicated.
Over the next two days, Lu Qing gave Xiao Yan a few more drops of Earth Vein Elixir.
After finally waking up from the fifth drop of the spiritual liquid, he used his supernatural ability to check Xiao Yan's information again.
A rich red light emerged from Xiao Yan's body.
【Ice-like Skin and Jade Bones: A pure and immaculate physique, a natural talent for cultivation. Cultivating water-based, cold-attribute techniques will yield twice the results with half the effort.】
Seeing that the few words on the note that hadn't been fully activated had disappeared, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
As he expected, Xiao Yan's talent also required five drops of earth vein essence to be fully activated.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yan had just finished washing up and was waiting for Lu Qing to tie her hair when she saw her brother staring at her blankly, which seemed a little strange.
"It's nothing, my brother is just thinking about something."
Lu Qing quickly tied Xiao Yan's hair into two little buns.
After tying it up, he looked at it from both sides and was very satisfied.
She had shiny black hair, a fair complexion, and big, bright eyes.
Xiao Yan, who was already very cute, became even more like a porcelain doll after taking the Earth Vein Elixir, making her extremely lovable.
According to the little one, she went out to play these past two days and ran into Grandpa Zhang and his family. She was always praised and received lots of treats and little trinkets, which made her very happy.
"Alright, let's go eat breakfast."
Inside the house, the brother and sister were drinking meat porridge facing each other, while Xiao Li was enjoying her fresh fish on the other side.
It has to be said that the Black Night Civet truly loves fish.
Even if Xiao Li eats fish three times a day, it will never get tired of it.
While drinking his porridge, Lu Qing was thinking about something else.
Now that Xiaoyan has awakened such a special cultivation talent, some of his plans will have to be changed.
Originally, Lu Qing hoped that Xiao Yan could live a peaceful and safe life without having to strive for any achievements.
But ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) now that Xiaoyan has awakened such a great talent, it would be a shame not to make use of it.
In this world where martial arts reign supreme, mastering the power of martial arts is something countless people dream of.
However, most people simply don't have that qualification.
Since Xiaoyan has such talent, he should support her even more.
So in the days that followed, he began to slowly teach Xiaoyan some knowledge about cultivation.
However, according to the information displayed by her supernatural ability, the most suitable cultivation techniques for Xiaoyan are those with water and cold attributes.
Unfortunately, Lu Qing didn't possess either of these two techniques.
The inheritance left by Li Weitian consists entirely of cultivation techniques at the Innate Realm, none of which are of the Water/Cold attribute, making them unsuitable for Xiaoyan to cultivate.
"It seems I'll have to find a water-type inheritance for Xiaoyan in the future," Lu Qing thought to himself.
Of course, there's no rush.
Before entering the Innate Realm, the cultivation of the Acquired Realm does not actually have attribute distinctions.
Everyone is systematically cultivating their Qi and blood, strengthening their muscles and bones, and refining their internal organs.
Only after entering the Innate Realm and cultivating one's own unique Innate True Qi can one distinguish between attributes.
Xiaoyan is still just a little kid. She hasn't even started her first step in cultivation yet. Even if she has extraordinary talent, who knows when she will be able to cultivate to the Innate Realm.
The search for cultivation methods can be done slowly.
For now, her master's health-preserving fist techniques are enough for her to learn the cultivation of the Acquired Realm.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing looked up and asked, "Xiao Yan, do you want to learn to read?"
"You can read?" Xiaoyan blinked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, it's about learning to read. Don't you love listening to stories about little monkeys? There are actually many stories outside that are even better than those about little monkeys, but those stories are all written in books. Once Xiaoyan learns to read, she can read those stories herself in the future."
During this time, Lu Qing still told Xiao Yan stories from time to time.
He just couldn't understand how the little guy could listen to the story of a little monkey so many times and still never get tired of it.
Not only Xiaoyan, but even Xiaoli, would sit obediently with bright eyes watching him whenever he started telling stories, listening with great interest.
So, in order to inspire Xiaoyan's desire to learn, he decided to use this to tempt her.
Sure enough, Xiaoyan immediately became interested upon hearing this.
Even Xiao Li perked up her ears.
"Brother, are there really many stories outside that are even more beautiful than those about the little monkey?"
"Of course, but those stories are written in books, and people who can't read can't understand them."
"I want to learn, I want to learn, brother, I want to learn to read!" Xiaoyan said immediately.
“Alright, starting today, I’ll teach you to read. If I’m busy, you can learn from Grandpa Chen.”
Seeing that the little guy had taken the bait, Lu Qing smiled slightly.
Just then, he felt something tug at his trouser leg. Looking down, he saw Xiao Li looking at him expectantly.
"What, Xiao Li, you also want to learn to read?" Lu Qing was taken aback.
Seeing it nod, Lu Qing was speechless.
The story's charm was so exaggerated that even the little black beast was inspired to learn to read.
But how do you teach a small animal?
He has no experience!
"That's perfect, brother! I'll learn with Xiao Li!" Xiao Yan exclaimed happily.
Having study partners is of course the best.
"Oh well."
Faced with the expectant eyes of the two little ones, Lu Qing could only nod in agreement.
