Chapter 213 Return, Aftermath
"Old Doctor, what was that just now?"
Wei Shanhai looked at Doctor Chen in shock.
The two were sitting under a plum tree drinking tea when they were shocked by the sudden movement of heaven and earth.
Wei Shanhai didn't understand and could only ask his old doctor.
He knew that the old doctor's level of attainment was much higher than his and he should be able to see what was going on.
The old doctor looked calm. After carefully sensing it, he sighed.
"I'm afraid the legendary change of heaven and earth is about to begin."
"You said that the great changes in the world that Tianji Tower talked about are about to begin?!" Wei Shanhai was shocked.
"I'm afraid so. The fluctuation just now was caused by the heaven and earth, and I can vaguely sense that some subtle changes have occurred between heaven and earth. It's just that these changes are not obvious yet and are difficult to detect." The old doctor nodded.
"So where exactly has the world changed?" Wei Shanhai was still a little confused.
"I don't know either." The old doctor shook his head, "But since the heaven and earth have shown signs, it's clear that it won't be long before we can see what the changes are."
In fact, the old doctor still knows something.
If the speculation in the essay that Lu Qing showed him was correct.
I'm afraid the so-called revival of spiritual energy is about to begin.
But that was just a guess in an ancient book. Before it was confirmed, the old doctor couldn't be sure whether it was true.
"If the world is really going to change, it seems that troubled times are really coming."
Wei Shanhai sighed.
The old doctor also fell silent.
In fact, he also felt something else in the sound of heaven and earth just now.
But it’s not easy to say it clearly here.
"Grandpa Chen, what happened just now? It seemed so noisy outside."
At this time, Xiaoyan walked out of the house holding Xiaoli, rubbing her eyes, sleepily.
It turned out that she and Xiaoli were taking a nap in the room, and then they were suddenly woken up.
But her words shocked both the old doctor and Wei Shanhai.
"Xiaoyan, could you hear the noise just now?"
Wei Shanhai asked impatiently.
"Yes, it's so loud, how could I not hear it, Grandpa Wei, who is demolishing the house?" Xiaoyan said in a daze.
Then Wei Shanhai opened his mouth slightly and looked at Xiaoyan in disbelief.
The old doctor knew why he was so surprised.
The sounds of heaven and earth before were the fluctuations manifested by the changes in the rules of heaven and earth. They were not ordinary sounds and were difficult to hear with the naked ear.
Logically speaking, only martial arts masters who have cultivated the power of the soul and spirit, and strong people in the innate realm, should be able to feel that vast sound.
But Xiaoyan was just a child and could hear it all in her sleep. How could Wei Shanhai not be surprised?
But the old doctor knew some inside information.
He knew that Lu Qing had once given Xiaoyan the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, and he had personally experienced the magical power of that spiritual liquid.
Not only can it greatly improve a person's qualifications, but if you're lucky, it can even inspire certain special talents.
Obviously, after taking the earth vein spiritual liquid, Xiaoyan should have gained some special abilities, allowing her to "listen" to the previous sound of heaven and earth.
"Old doctor, it seems that Xiaoyan's talent is also very extraordinary."
At this time, Wei Shanhai also reacted.
The look he gave Xiaoyan was full of wonder, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
In the past, he only thought that Xiaoyan was smart, cute and lively, and much more obedient and clever than other children.
But thinking that she was Lu Qing's sister, and was very much favored by the old doctor.
With the cultivation and knowledge of these two, it is normal for Xiaoyan to be stronger than ordinary children after being influenced by them.
Now it seems that things are far from that simple.
Although she has no cultivation at all, she can "listen" to the sound of the changes in the rules of heaven and earth. It is obvious that Xiaoyan must have some special talent.
Come to think of it, Lu Qing is a rare genius that appears once in a thousand years, a son of destiny.
How could Xiaoyan, who was born to the same mother as him and whose blood was thicker than water, be ordinary?
It's just that she is still young and has not yet shown her talent.
The more Wei Shanhai thought about it, the more he felt it was right, and the look he gave Xiaoyan naturally became more and more passionate.
"Old Doctor, Xiaoyan is already seven years old now. I wonder why she hasn't become your disciple and learned martial arts?"
The more Wei Shanhai looked at Xiaoyan, the more he liked her, and then he turned around and asked.
The old doctor knew at a glance that he was up to something.
He remembered what Lu Qing had said before and shook his head.
"Ah Qing once said that Xiaoyan's path of cultivation is rather special and should not be rushed. He will make arrangements personally when the time is right, so it is not easy for me to interfere."
In the past two years, the old doctor also asked Lu Qing whether he wanted to let Xiaoyan practice martial arts.
But Lu Qing always said that the time was not right, so until now, Xiaoyan has not started formal practice.
"It turns out that Young Master Lu had already made arrangements."
When Wei Shanhai heard this, he knew that it was impossible for him to take Xiaoyan as his apprentice.
In his heart, Lu Qing was much more mysterious than the old doctor.
Since he had already made arrangements, it was obviously impossible for Xiaoyan to become his disciple casually.
"Grandpa Chen, why hasn't my brother come back yet? How long will he stay in the mountains? Xiaoyan misses him."
When Xiaoyan heard the old doctor and others mention Lu Qing, her lips pursed and she said a little aggrievedly.
She hasn't seen her brother for many days.
"Yes, old doctor, why did Young Master Lu stay in seclusion for so long this time?" Wei Shanhai also asked.
After Lu Qing discussed with him before, he said that he had some insights and went into seclusion. Seven days have passed now.
In the past, Lu Qing rarely retreated for such a long time. Could it be that he was going to break through directly to the Innate Realm?
Thinking of this, Wei Shanhai was shocked.
If this is true, it is really a serious matter.
Lu Qing is only a few years old now. If he really enters the innate realm, if the news gets out, it will probably cause a sensation in the world, and even the four secret places will be shaken.
"I don't know either. Ah Qing only said that he would be in seclusion for a while, but he didn't say how long it would be."
The old doctor was also a little surprised.
He knew that Lu Qing should be in seclusion in the deep mountains, in the magical place that he and Xiao Li had discovered together, which could produce the earth vein spiritual liquid.
But because of Xiaoyan, he rarely secluded himself for such a long time.
This time, it was indeed a bit abnormal.
Unfortunately, he has never been to that magical place.
Xiao Li never leaves Xiao Yan's side. No one except Lu Qing and Xiao Yan can control it, not even him.
Otherwise, you can go and take a look.
whoosh!
Just when the old doctor and others were thinking about Lu Qing.
Xiaoli, who was originally held by Xiaoyan, suddenly jumped out of Xiaoyan's arms and ran out.
The old doctor and the others were stunned at first, then they reacted and looked outside.
Then they saw a figure standing at the gate of the yard. Xiao Li was standing on his shoulder and rubbing his head against him. Who else could it be but Lu Qing?
"elder brother!"
When Xiaoyan saw Lu Qing, she immediately opened her arms and ran forward. Before she arrived, she started jumping and pounced on Lu Qing.
Afraid that she would fall, Lu Qing could only reach out and catch her.
Seeing the little girl burying her head in his arms, as if she was about to cry, he rubbed her hair lovingly.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault this time. I stayed in seclusion for so long and made Xiaoyan wait for so long."
Fortunately, Xiaoyan's emotions come and go quickly, and she is still easy to coax.
Soon, with Lu Qing's comfort, he started laughing again.
After comforting Xiaoyan, Lu Qing put her down and came to the two old doctors.
He first greeted Wei Shanhai, and then said to the old doctor: "Master, I'm back."
"Well, it's good to be back."
The old doctor nodded, and did not ask why Lu Qing's retreat this time would be longer than before.
On the contrary, Wei Shanhai couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Mr. Lu, have you already entered the Xiantian realm during your retreat this time?"
Wei Shanhai's eyes were full of anticipation.
Although he was unable to feel the innate meaning unique to the Innate Realm from Lu Qing.
But long before that, he had completely lost sight of Lu Qing's true intentions.
So even if Lu Qing had a secret method that could conceal his innate meaning, he would not be surprised at all.
“No.” Lu Qing shook his head. “Although I have gained something from this retreat, it has only strengthened my foundation. I have not yet entered the innate realm.”
“So that’s how it is.” Wei Shanhai was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he still comforted him, “Young Master Lu, don’t be discouraged. Although the Xiantian Realm is mysterious, with your aptitude, it is only a matter of time for you to enter that realm. I believe that as long as you settle down a little longer, you will naturally break through.”
"Thank you, Senior Wei, for your guidance." Lu Qing bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"Master, have you had lunch yet?"
After chatting for a while, Lu Qing asked.
“Not yet.”
"That's perfect. I've been in seclusion for these days and I feel a little hungry. I'm going to make some side dishes to fill my stomach."
Lu Qing didn't expect that it would take him so long to refine the Earth Spirit Pearl without him noticing.
If it weren't for his profound cultivation and strong blood and energy, his body would have collapsed long ago.
"Well, go ahead." The old doctor naturally had no objection.
"Senior Wei, please stay and have dinner with us," Lu Qing invited.
"Then I won't be polite." Wei Shanhai said with a smile, "The food you cook, Mr. Lu, has a unique flavor. Even Ning Yan and Zi'an often miss it. Today, I am lucky enough to have a good meal."
In the past two years, Wei Shanhai has also tasted Lu Qing's cooking several times.
It’s true, it’s different from anything else, and even he, who isn’t too obsessed with food, is amazed.
Now that he heard that Lu Qing was going to cook again, he was actually looking forward to it.
"It's just some commonplace food. Madam Wei and the others are overly flattering."
Lu Qing went into the kitchen and spent half an hour cooking some food.
Xiaoyan and Xiaoli enjoyed the meal very much as they hadn’t eaten Lu Qing’s cooking for many days.
The old doctor and Wei Shanhai naturally enjoyed the meal very much.
At the dinner table, Lu Qing also began to inquire about the happenings in the provincial capital city without leaving any trace.
He had not expected that six or seven days would pass in a flash while he was refining the Earth Spirit Pearl in the Jade Cave.
He also didn't know how the situation in the provincial capital had developed since he left, so he could only ask Wei Shanhai.
Don’t say it, Wei Shanhai really knows it.
After all, many of the Wei family's industries had been moved to the provincial capital a few years ago.
Therefore, we are quite well-informed about the news over there.
Lu Qing caused such a big incident in the provincial capital city that he even killed a person in the Innate Realm. It is impossible to cover up such a big incident.
On the second day after the incident, the Wei family's spies in the provincial capital passed back the news.
As a result, in the days that followed, the Wei family kept a close eye on what was happening in the provincial capital.
"Mr. Lu, you didn't know that the old woman of the Zheng family had secretly performed a ritual of human sacrifice when her eldest son died many years ago.
On that day, the mayor of the provincial capital city invited the leaders of all major forces in the city to open the tomb for inspection. They unexpectedly found dozens of clay dolls left behind after the evil ritual. It is conceivable how crazy the old woman of the Zheng family was!
No wonder she attracted the mysterious strong man to take action and kill her in anger.
To be honest, if I knew about this, I would probably not be able to help but take action and teach that old woman a lesson.
The mysterious warrior killed decisively. Not only did he kill the old woman, he also destroyed the graves and coffins of her sons and grandsons, which were the most important to her. He also shot his second son to death with one arrow. It was really gratifying!"
After Wei Shanhai told Lu Qing what happened in the provincial capital that day, he sighed again.
"This is actually happening. Who is that mysterious strong man? Does anyone know?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.
The old doctor had obviously heard these things before, but he did not show any surprise.
“This is the strangest thing. That mysterious strong man seemed to have suddenly appeared. No one could find out where he came from, but his strength was extremely astonishing.
It is said that it only took him a dozen breaths to kill the old woman of the Zheng family.
You know, although the old woman of the Zheng family didn't have much time left, she was still a strong person at the peak of the innate initial realm. Yet, she was killed before she could even last a dozen breaths.
It is conceivable that the mysterious strong man is very powerful. Many people speculate that he is probably a formidable strong man who is above the innate minor success level. "
Lu Qing: ...
The rumors were getting more and more exaggerated. How could he not know that he was already a powerful innate minor success?
"...What will be the fate of the Zheng family after encountering such a great disaster?" Lu Qing asked after a moment of silence.
"What else can I do? Although the provincial capital is prosperous, every inch of land is valuable. I don't know how many people are eyeing each piece of land.
The Zheng family had lost their most important support in the Xiantian realm, even the head of the family was dead, and they had committed the cardinal taboo of performing a living sacrifice in private. The outcome was inevitable.
During these few days, all the direct descendants of the Zheng family were captured by the city lord and thrown into jail, awaiting trial. The rest of the side branches also had their property confiscated and they were expelled from the city. For three generations, they were not allowed to set foot in the city. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed.
It can be said that the Zheng family is gone, completely vanished into thin air."
