According to Mr. Zhang's own wishes, his funeral was not very grand.
After a simple funeral, she was buried next to Xiaoyan's grandfather and parents' graves according to the old man's wishes.
During the funeral, Lu Qing and Xiaoyan both kept vigil for the old man all night.
He can make two Jindan realm masters guard his soul, and one of them is the strongest person in the world.
Uncle Zhang is probably the only mortal in the many worlds who has this honor.
In the days after the funeral, Lu Qing became much more taciturn.
From time to time, he would stare at the sky in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.
One day, he came to a small courtyard halfway up the mountain to play chess with his master.
Suddenly, the old doctor said, "Ah Qing, have you been worried about something recently?"
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he realized that his master had noticed his condition these days.
He thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "Master, I have been thinking about something recently."
"What's got you so tangled?"
"I want to leave this world and venture out into the outside world."
"Going out into the outside world?"
The old doctor paused, slowly put the chess piece back into the chess box, and looked at Lu Qing.
"You said you wanted to leave this world?"
Lu Qing once mentioned things about other worlds to the old doctor, so he knew something about it.
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded.
"Master, the magical elixir that I have condensed is somewhat special and has a strong power. The spiritual energy of this world now is no longer enough to improve my cultivation.
To be honest with you, Master, I have not made any progress in my cultivation for more than ten years.
Unless the sound of heaven and earth sounds again, the spiritual energy will undergo further transformation.
Only then will the disciple’s cultivation have a chance to make a breakthrough.
But the disciples estimated that even if the sound of heaven and earth sounded again.
It won’t be long before my cultivation level will stagnate due to spiritual energy issues.”
“It’s actually like this…”
After hearing Lu Qing's words, the old doctor was shocked.
Ever since Lu Qing entered the Golden Core Realm, he has never been able to see through the true cultivation level of his disciple.
I didn't know that his cultivation hadn't improved at all in more than ten years.
Looking at Lu Qing's calm face, the old doctor finally understood why he wanted to leave this world and venture into the outside world.
This disciple of mine has an amazing talent for cultivation.
From the day he officially started practicing, his speed of practice was extremely fast, shocking the world.
Much more powerful than any genius.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, he has been making rapid progress. In a short period of time, he has overcome the golden elixir catastrophe and become the number one person in the world.
Such a peerless genius has not made any progress in his cultivation in more than ten years.
To be honest, the fact that Lu Qing has been able to endure until now made the old doctor feel that his disciple’s devotion to Taoism is strong enough.
Thinking of this, the old doctor asked: "However, it is not easy to leave this world, and the journey to other worlds should not be easy either."
“In the relics left behind by the two aliens from outer space who were at the Jindan realm that my disciple had killed.
There are star maps that record the starry sky coordinates of many worlds in the outside world and can guide monks to walk in the starry sky.
There is also a magic flying boat that can cross the starry sky, Master, don’t worry.”
"It seems that you, Ah Qing, have already made plans." said the old doctor.
"Well, I didn't leave before because of Xiaoyan. Now that girl has entered the Golden Core Realm, there are few strong people in this world who can threaten her. I can travel with peace of mind." Lu Qing nodded.
"You mean you won't take Xiaoyan with you?" The old doctor was a little surprised.
"Xiaoyan has just passed the tribulation. The next few decades will be a time for her to consolidate her realm and improve her cultivation. It is not suitable for her to go out.
Moreover, the world that the disciple wants to go to is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many powerful people.
The road ahead is unpredictable, and even as a disciple, I don’t have the confidence that I can protect Xiaoyan.
So the disciple prepared to explore alone first.
If I can gain a foothold in the outside world in the future, I will consider bringing Xiaoyan over."
Lu Qing expressed his plan.
Crossing the starry sky is not an easy task.
There are still many unknown dangers.
Even though Lu Qing was confident, he didn't want to take risks with Xiaoyan.
After all, the girl is different from him, although what she condensed is a powerful top-grade golden elixir.
But it is far from reaching the limit of this world. Even if he stays in this world to practice, he can still improve his cultivation.
"That's fine, but I'm afraid it's hard to ask Xiaoyan about it, right?"
The old doctor joked.
But he knew how much that girl depended on Lu Qing.
If I knew I wouldn't be able to see Lu Qing for decades, I would probably be angry.
"Disciple will convince Xiaoyan. The girl is now a Jindan realm expert and will understand."
Having said that, when I really came to Xiaoyan and looked at her expectant eyes.
Lu Qing has a firm faith in Taoism and can remain calm even when facing a heavenly calamity.
I actually started to feel a little nervous.
"Brother, you said you had something important to tell me, what is it?"
Xiaoyan looked at Lu Qing expectantly.
"Um, this is Xiaoyan..."
Lu Qing calmed himself down and slowly told him about the plan.
"It's basically like this. My brother wants to leave this world for a while and find a stronger world to practice in."
After saying this, Lu Qing still felt a little uneasy.
"So that's what happened. I thought what my brother was going to talk about was some big deal."
However, to his surprise, after listening to what he said, Xiaoyan did not get angry but was surprisingly calm.
"Xiaoyan, aren't you angry?" Lu Qing was stunned.
"How could that be?" Xiaoyan shook her head. "In fact, even if brother didn't say it, Xiaoyan would have guessed it."
"My brother has been much stricter with Xiaoyan's training over the years. At that time, Xiaoyan had a premonition that my brother seemed to be preparing for something.
But since you didn’t tell me, Xiaoyan never asked.
It was not until today that I found out that my brother had encountered difficulties in his cultivation and had not made any progress in more than ten years.
Brother, the reason you haven't set out yet is because you're waiting for Xiaoyan to pass the tribulation, right?"
"Xiaoyan..."
Looking at Xiaoyan's calm appearance, Lu Qing was a little dazed.
After a while, he reached out and rubbed the girl's hair with a complicated expression.
"It seems that my dear sister has really grown up. It's my brother's fault for still treating you like a child."
Yes, although Xiaoyan is already a powerful Jindan realm expert.
But in Lu Qing's heart, Xiaoyan has always been just that well-behaved little sister.
So from time to time, he would subconsciously treat her like a child.
Now it seems that he really needs to change his mentality.
"Brother, is the world you want to go to very far away from us?" Xiaoyan asked.
"Well, if there is no special flying boat magic weapon, even if it is a powerful Yuanshen, it will take dozens or even hundreds of years to cross the starry sky with its own strength before it can reach its destination."
"It's so far away." Xiaoyan was shocked.
She is now in the Jindan realm, and her speed is already extraordinary. Even if she crosses many continents in the world, it will only take a few days.
And the speed of the powerful Yuanshen, which is far above the Jindan, must be even more terrifying.
Even such a powerful person would need dozens or even hundreds of years to cross the starry sky. She could not imagine how far that distance was.
"Don't worry, my brother has a Void Flying Boat, so it's not difficult to cross the starry sky, and it won't take that long.
If everything goes well, we should be able to reach that world in a few years at most."
"Several years!" Xiaoyan's eyes lit up when she heard that. "That means, if you want to come back by then, it won't take too much time?"
"That's right. So this time, I can't take you with me. Wait until I have gained a foothold there and make sure there is no danger, then I will come back to pick you up."
"Okay, Xiaoyan will wait for you to come back home!" The girl nodded repeatedly.
At the same time, I felt more relaxed.
To be honest, it was impossible for her not to be nervous when she heard her brother say that he was going to another world.
The starry sky is far away, who knows when my brother will come back.
I just forced myself to suppress this emotion deep in my heart so that my brother wouldn't see it.
But it would be different if the round trip could be made in less than ten years.
This period of time might have passed if she had practiced in seclusion once or twice.
"Brother, when are you going to leave?"
"Wait a few days, brother will stay with you for a few more days."
Lu Qing was also in a very good mood.
He didn't expect that the hurdle he thought was the most difficult could be passed so easily.
However, what he didn't expect was that Xiaoyan, who he thought was the most difficult to convince, passed the test easily.
When he arrived at Xiaoli, Lu Qing encountered a problem.
"No, I want to go with you!"
When Xiao Li heard Lu Qing's idea of leaving this world, he spoke directly.
The tone was firm and there was no hesitation at all.
"Xiao Li, the world I'm going to is full of powerful people, even quite a few powerful Yuanshen..."
"I don't care, I want to go with you!"
Lu Qing was about to persuade him, but Xiao Li didn't even listen and interrupted him directly.
Next, no matter how Lu Qing persuaded him, Xiao Li just said that he wanted to follow Lu Qing and leave this world.
In the end, Xiaoyan came out to smooth things over: "How about, brother, why don't you take Xiaoli with you?"
"But……"
"Brother, didn't you say that Xiao Li's parents probably didn't die in the last era of immortal cultivation, but left this world with the Demon King?
If you take Xiao Li with you, maybe you can find out some information about Xiao Li's parents."
Hearing this, Lu Qing hesitated.
Over the years, ever since Xiao Li achieved the Golden Elixir, he had revealed to it the details of its life experience.
Now that Xiaoyan mentioned it, he remembered this matter.
After hearing this, Xiao Li looked at Lu Qing even more intently.
Facing the little guy's gaze, Lu Qing pondered for a while and finally nodded.
"Okay, but Xiaoli, the things about your parents were originally just our guesses.
It is not certain whether they really left this world.
And tens of thousands of years have passed since the last era of cultivating immortals.
Even if they really left, if we go out, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
There is only a very slim chance of finding any information about them, so you must be prepared."
"I know, as long as I can go with you, Aqing." Xiao Li nodded seriously.
"Okay then, you can leave with me in a few days." Lu Qing said helplessly.
But he thought that the little guy had the magical power to change his size at will.
In fact, there is nothing inconvenient about following him.
It’s just that he originally wanted Xiaoli to stay and accompany Xiaoyan, but he didn’t expect the little guy to be so stubborn.
Wu Xing, who was standing by, saw that Xiao Li could leave with Lu Qing, and immediately became interested and wanted to follow.
This time, after Lu Qing thought about it, he simply agreed.
It doesn’t matter if you bring one or two.
Besides, Wu Xing was his enslaved spirit beast, and he was not sure whether the enslavement mark would still be effective if the distance was too far.
So just take it together.
However, he originally wanted to leave them to accompany Xiaoyan, but now that they have been taken away, he is worried about Xiaoyan coming back.
Hearing his concern, Xiaoyan laughed instead.
"Don't worry, brother. Grandpa Chen and everyone in the village are here. If I'm bored, I can go to Sister Lingshuang and practice with her."
"It seems that the girl has really grown up."
Seeing that his sister was comforting him, Lu Qing just rubbed her head and said nothing more.
For the next few days, Lu Qing did nothing except the necessary daily practice.
The rest of the time, I will spend time with Xiaoyan.
The brother and sister went fishing, collected herbs, and then cooked a lot of delicious food.
In short, I relived all the things I experienced in my childhood.
Three days later, in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Lu Qing was dressed lightly, with Xiao Li and Wu Xing standing on his shoulders respectively.
Master and Xiaoyan were behind him.
This time when he left, Lu Qing didn't tell anyone except Xiaoyan and his master.
"Master, I am ready to set off."
"Well, be careful on the road. When you arrive in other worlds, don't fight with others easily. Preserving yourself is the most important thing." The old doctor warned.
"Disciple understands."
"Brother, you have to come back early." Xiaoyan's eyes were misty.
Although she acted very strong these days, she couldn't help but feel emotional when Lu Qing was really about to leave.
"Don't worry, brother will come back in fifty years at most, no matter whether we can gain a foothold in other worlds or not." Lu Qing rubbed the girl's head.
This is also the deadline he set for himself.
Although fifty years is a long time, it is nothing for Xiaoyan and Master who are at the Jindan stage.
You know, a strong person in the Jindan realm, even if he has just entered the Jindan realm, has a lifespan of a thousand years.
"By the way, Master, I left a puppet body behind to practice in the Jade Cave.
If you need help with anything in the future, you can call it out.
And this jade talisman is the formation jade talisman of the disciple’s cave in the holy mountain.
If you want to go to the Holy Mountain to practice in the future, you can enter and leave at will with this token."
Lu Qing handed a jade talisman to his master.
"Okay, I understand." The old doctor took the jade talisman.
"Xiaoyan, then brother will leave."
Finally, Lu Qing rubbed Xiaoyan's head again.
He summoned the Void Flying Boat and flew in with Xiao Li and Wu Xing.
Then, under Xiaoyan's reluctant gaze, it turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.
