"Brother, the next sword strike will be my strongest attack yet, so be careful."
High in the sky, Xiaoyan stood in the air, with a long sword in her hand, and a half-foot sword light flickering.
The sharpness of it frightened Xiaoli and Wuxing, who were watching the battle not far away.
"It's okay, just go ahead and do it."
Lu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, not caring.
The magnetic field around the body is undercurrent surging, layer upon layer.
The next moment, Xiaoyan swung the sword in her hand.
An extremely dazzling sword light, with the momentum to cut through everything, slashed towards Lu Qing.
Wherever it passed, even the space was shaken.
The powerful sword light slashed into Lu Qing's force field, breaking through multiple force field defenses with a devastating momentum.
It kept slashing until it reached three feet in front of Lu Qing, then stopped.
“Great!”
Lu Qing stretched out his hand and grasped the sword light, with surprise in his eyes.
"Xiao Yan, if this sword of yours were from an ordinary Jindan realm, even a strong person at the third level might not be able to resist it."
Lu Qing was really surprised.
Although the force field he set up was only the most basic form, there were still many changes that had not been implemented.
But it was indeed beyond his expectation that Xiaoyan could cut him three feet in front of her with one sword.
It can be said that with the power of this sword alone, in the whole world, besides him and his master, there are Xiao Li and the Five Elements.
I'm afraid there won't be any other powerful Jindan realm expert who can take it on.
Even the three holy masters on the holy mountain would have to avoid the edge of this sword if they encountered it.
If you are not careful, you may even die!
Xiaoyan, who swung the sword, is now at the stage where she has just consolidated her cultivation and has not yet officially entered the first stage of the Golden Core Realm.
"Is this the effect of the magical power you gained after overcoming the tribulation?" Lu Qing asked.
Not long ago, after Xiaoyan successfully passed the tribulation, she also gained a small magical power bestowed by the tribulation cloud vortex.
Just now, Lu Qing felt the magical power surging in the girl.
"Yes, brother, the magical power I obtained is called [Sharpness], which is a minor magical power of swordsmanship.
After using it, it can greatly enhance the sharpness of my sword energy, making it unparalleled." Xiaoyan replied.
"It's a very good magical power, and it suits you very well." Lu Qing nodded and said, "You should study this magical power carefully in the future. If you can comprehend it to perfection, your sword skills will be unmatched. Apart from Master, there will be no one else who can match you."
"I will, brother!" Xiaoyan responded seriously.
"Okay, we're done with the sparring, let's go back. You've just consolidated your cultivation and came out of seclusion today, so your brother specially prepared something delicious for you." Lu Qing said with a smile.
"It's delicious! Brother, what delicious food did you make?"
Xiaoyan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.
"You'll know when you get back."
Lu Qing found it a little funny when he saw the girl's shining eyes.
This girl is already a powerful Jindan realm expert, but she is still so greedy.
The brother and sister, along with the two spirit beasts, began to fly towards the village.
However, as soon as he returned to the village, he saw a man walking back and forth in front of his yard with an anxious look on his face.
"Uncle Zhang, what happened?"
Seeing this, Lu Qing landed in front of the yard and asked.
It turned out that the person in front of the yard was the eldest son of Grandpa Zhang next door.
"Ah Qing, you're back. My dad suddenly fainted just now. The old doctor came to see him and said he might not make it!"
"How could that be? Isn't Grandpa Zhang always in good health?"
When Lu Qing heard this, his expression changed drastically, and his figure flashed and he went towards Zhang's house.
"What happened to Grandpa Zhang?"
Xiaoyan was also very confused and hurriedly followed her brother.
When he arrived at Zhang's house, Lu Qing saw that his master was standing beside the bed.
Grandpa Zhang, with his head full of white hair, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He looked normal, his breathing was calm, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.
But Lu Qing could tell something was wrong at first glance.
He could sense that the vitality in Grandpa Zhang's body was almost undetectable at this moment, like a candle in the wind, which could be completely extinguished at any time.
"Are you back?" asked the old doctor.
"Master, why did Grandpa Zhang suddenly become like this?" Lu Qing asked immediately.
"Mr. Zhang is nearing the end of his life. He is almost at the end of his rope and doesn't have much time left." The old doctor sighed.
"How could it be!"
Lu Qing immediately activated his special ability and looked at Uncle Zhang lying on the bed.
After a few breaths, his body trembled.
Because the information on the note detected by the supernatural power also showed that Uncle Zhang was at the end of his life and his energy was running out.
Moreover, in this case, ordinary medicine is difficult to cure.
It is the end of the world, a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, and cannot be solved by ordinary medicine.
Generally speaking, in this world, the longest lifespan in the acquired realm is no more than one hundred and twenty years.
Even a martial arts master who has tempered his body to the acquired perfection state cannot break through this lifespan limit.
Unless one enters the innate realm and undergoes a transformation in the level of life, one can only live for two hundred years.
Uncle Zhang is already over ninety years old this year, and logically he has not yet reached the limit of his lifespan.
But when he was young, he worked day and night to support his family, and his body's vitality was consumed a lot.
As long as he has not fallen ill from overwork, he is already considered to be in good health.
Over the years, although Lu Qing had been taking care of his body from time to time, and with the nourishment of the spiritual energy in Jiuli Village, his health had always been good.
However, the life span he lost due to overwork in his youth could never be fully recovered.
In addition, without spiritual practice, the amount of qi and blood that the body can accommodate is ultimately limited.
So although his body still looks healthy now, his end is near.
"Ah Qing, is my father really dying? Even you can't save him?"
Hearing the conversation between the master and the apprentice, Uncle Zhang's eldest son said anxiously.
"Well, Grandpa Zhang has reached the end of his life. Even I can't save him." Lu Qing nodded.
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang's sons and daughters-in-law all showed expressions of despair.
In their hearts, Lu Qing is an immortal. If even he says that his father cannot be saved, it means that his father has really reached the last step.
Looking at the expressions of Uncle Zhang's relatives, Lu Qing was silent.
In fact, there is still a way to save Mr. Zhang’s situation.
That is, if we can find a magical medicine that can prolong life and let him take it, there may still be hope.
But an elixir of longevity that can break the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth is extremely precious.
That is a supreme elixir that even a Jindan Zhenren or even a Yuanshen Great Power would try to snatch when they encounter it.
Since the revival of this world, there has never been such a magical medicine.
So this method simply doesn't work.
At this time, the old doctor said: "Mr. Zhang is sleeping now, but if he continues to sleep like this, he will die in a day at most.
If you have anything else to say to him, I can use the golden needle method to wake him up.
But after waking up, he was only awake for half an hour.
Whether to use this method or not is up to you to decide."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang's sons and daughters-in-law all looked at each other.
But for the moment, no one could decide.
Finally, Uncle Zhang's eldest son looked at Lu Qing and said, "Ah Qing, what do you think we should do?"
"Uncle Zhang, you are the eldest son, so it is up to you to decide this matter. But no matter what choice you make, I believe Grandpa Zhang will not blame you." Lu Qing said slowly.
Seeing Lu Qingdu say this, Uncle Zhang's eldest son struggled for a while, and finally made up his mind.
"Dad fainted suddenly, and there are still many things he hasn't explained. So please wake him up, old doctor, and see if he has any instructions before he dies."
"good."
The old doctor did not hesitate and immediately used the golden needle method to prick Uncle Zhang several times.
Soon, under the stimulation of the golden needles, Uncle Zhang's face gradually became rosy, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Dad, are you awake?"
Uncle Zhang's sons and daughters-in-law hurried forward.
"What's wrong with me? Why are you all here? Ah Qing, you're here too?"
Uncle Zhang was a little confused when he saw so many people in the room.
"Dad, this is what happened. You suddenly fainted just now..."
The eldest son stepped forward and quickly told everything, especially what the old doctor and Lu Qing said.
"So that's how it is. Am I going to meet your mother soon?"
After listening to this, Uncle Zhang understood.
However, he did not panic. Instead, he looked relieved and accepted the matter calmly.
"I am an unfilial son. The old doctor said you could die peacefully in your sleep, but I was afraid you might have some instructions and I wouldn't have time to tell you, so I asked the old doctor to wake you up by force." The eldest son said with tears in his eyes.
"It's okay, you did a good job. I do have something else to tell you." Uncle Zhang shook his head, "Take out the wooden box under the bed."
The eldest son quickly took out a wooden box from under the bed.
Lu Qing and others walked out of the house, leaving time for the Zhang family.
Uncle Zhang signaled his son to open the wooden box, which contained some land deeds, silver, copper coins and other items.
Uncle Zhang reached out and took out the land deeds.
"Over the years, I have been asking you two brothers to separate the family property, but you were always unwilling. Now I am about to go to meet your mother. After I leave, you can divide the family property."
"These deeds are our family's land deeds. You two brothers should each take half. Divide them equally."
"As for this money, it is what I have accumulated slowly over the years. You can share it among yourself..."
After explaining the household affairs clearly, bit by bit.
Uncle Zhang added, "These are the things I want to tell you. You must remember that after I leave, you two brothers must unite and live in harmony, support each other, and don't quarrel."
"Dad, I remember this."
The two sons said while trying to hold back their grief.
"If there's anything you can't solve, you can ask Ah Qing for help, but don't disturb him on weekdays. Ah Qing is an immortal and does immortal things. Don't bother him with trivial matters." Uncle Zhang reminded again.
"The child knows."
"Okay, now go and invite Ah Qing and Xiao Yan in. I have something to tell them."
Lu Qing stood in the yard, staring at the floating clouds in the sky in a daze.
At this time, Uncle Zhang's eldest son came out of the house and said, "Ah Qing, Dad said he has something to tell you and Xiaoyan."
Lu Qing came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "Yeah."
In the room, when Uncle Zhang saw Lu Qing and Xiaoyan come in, a smile appeared on his face, and his face became even redder.
"You guys go out first, let me talk to Aqing and Xiaoyan alone."
After everyone left, Xiaoyan was the first to be unable to suppress her emotions and sobbed: "Grandpa Zhang..."
Lu Qing also looked at the old man in front of him sadly.
Uncle Zhang has a ruddy complexion and looks very healthy, not like a dying man at all.
But he knew that this was just a flash in the pan.
The life force that could have lasted for a whole day was concentrated in this half hour and burned out, creating an illusion.
"Don't cry, little girl." Grandpa Zhang reached out and stroked Xiaoyan's head. "You are now an immortal who can fly into the sky and hide in the ground. Why are you still crying?"
"But Grandpa Zhang..."
Xiaoyan wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.
She is now also a Jindan realm cultivator, so she can naturally sense the condition inside Grandpa Zhang's body.
"Don't be sad. I'm already over 90 years old and I can die without any illness or disaster. This is much better than most people. This is a good thing. You should be happy for me.
The old guys I grew up with haven’t lived as long as I have, and it’s time for me to meet them.”
Uncle Zhang smiled and comforted Xiaoyan.
When Xiaoyan felt better, Uncle Zhang looked at Lu Qing again.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Ah Qing. If you hadn't set up the formation in the village, we old guys wouldn't have lived such an easy life in our later years."
"This is what Ah Qing should do." Lu Qing said softly.
Over the years, old people have passed away from time to time in the village, and most of the people of Grandpa Zhang's generation are no longer around.
Fortunately, these elderly people, nourished by the village's spiritual energy, all died of natural causes without illness or pain.
It can also be regarded as Lu Qing's contribution to the village.
"You and Xiaoyan are both good children, but it's a pity that we failed to protect your parents back then, and let them encounter such a thing. When I think about it now, I, an old man, still feel guilty." Uncle Zhang sighed.
"Grandpa Zhang, why do you have to say such things? It was the Black Wolf Gang's fault back then, and I have avenged my parents."
“But after all, it was us, the elders, who failed to dissuade your parents in time.
But that’s okay, I’ll be meeting them soon.
When I see them, I can tell them how powerful you and Xiaoyan are, and how you have become immortals..."
Uncle Zhang held Lu Qing's hand and talked a lot.
He kept talking until his breath gradually weakened, and finally he loosened his hands, smiled on his face, and quietly closed his eyes.
"Grandpa Zhang!" Xiaoyan cried out in grief and couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
When the people outside the house heard it, they rushed in, and then a burst of crying was heard.
Lu Qing slowly walked out of the house and came to the yard, looking at the mountains in the distance with a dazed look.
What I thought about in my heart was the care the old man gave to me and my sister when I first came into this world.
Those scenes happened more than 20 years ago.
Thinking about it now, it is still vivid, as if it happened yesterday.
