"Little guy, do you know any spatial abilities?"
The old dragon stared at Xiao Li with shining eyes.
Xiao Li trembled as she was stared at by such a powerful being.
However, after Lu Qing gently comforted her, Xiao Li's heart suddenly calmed down.
Meeting the old dragon's gaze, it nodded vigorously: "Yes, I possess a spatial innate ability."
"Then could you demonstrate your skills here so that this old man can take a look?"
Xiao Li looked at Lu Qing, who gave it an encouraging look.
The little guy thought for a moment and then jumped out of Lu Qing's arms.
Then, the supernatural power within its body surged, and the surrounding space also began to fluctuate.
Finally, in front of the old Azure Dragon, Xiao Li slowly disappeared into the space, vanishing from everyone's sight.
This scene made the old dragon's eyes shine even brighter.
After more than ten breaths, Xiao Li's figure slowly reappeared, its aura becoming somewhat weaker.
"That's all I can do. The space here is too stable; it's difficult for me to break through," Xiao Li said somewhat embarrassedly.
Little did it know that its performance had already greatly surprised the three strange beasts.
The old Azure Dragon, in particular, was so excited that its tail trembled slightly.
He quickly replied, "Not bad at all, your performance was already very good."
Black Bull and Phoenix understood why it was so agitated.
It should be noted that the space within the Celestial Palace is extremely stable.
Even a cultivator at the ninth tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm would find it difficult to shake the slightest bit.
Xiao Li was able to forcefully break through space and enter another layer of space using her innate supernatural abilities.
Although the spatial gap that was broken open was very shallow and the time spent there was very short, it was enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of Xiao Li's spatial abilities.
Putting aside everything else, at least his position in the Great Dao of Space is probably not low.
The Old Azure Dragon clan is most skilled in the application of spatial principles.
Even the spatial control within the celestial palace is primarily under its jurisdiction.
However, the old Azure Dragon clan had already been reduced to a single member in ancient times, with no one else to inherit its clan's spatial secrets.
Now that he sees a junior beast like Xiao Li with spatial supernatural powers, how could he not be delighted?
"Ah Qing, you just said you wanted to find some suitable cultivation techniques for Xiao Li?" Old Canglong suddenly turned to Lu Qing and asked.
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be a cultivation technique,” Lu Qing said thoughtfully. “I’d like to find a suitable cultivation path for Xiao Li. Do the three seniors have any suggestions?”
"How about this, Ah Qing? If you trust me, why don't you let me teach Xiao Li for a while? I happen to have some insights into the cultivation of the Dao of Space," the old Azure Dragon suggested to Lu Qing.
The black bull then said, "That's right, Ah Qing. Among the three of us, the old Azure Dragon is probably the most suitable to teach Xiao Li. Its clan is naturally close to the Dao of Space and its application of the Dao of Space is extremely exquisite."
As for Mingfeng, although she didn't speak, she nodded slightly in agreement.
And what Lu Qing and others were waiting for was this very sentence.
He immediately nodded: "That would be excellent. It is a blessing for Xiao Li to receive guidance from a senior."
Only then did Xiao Li realize that A Qing had brought her out to seek an opportunity for it.
It immediately had a sudden inspiration and raised its claws to thank the old dragon.
"Thank you, Grandpa Canglong."
"well!"
Seeing Xiao Li's obedient appearance, the old dragon's face immediately showed a look of great joy.
"Then I'll leave Xiao Li in your care for the next few days, Senior Canglong," Lu Qing said respectfully.
"No need for that. If Xiao Li can truly inherit the secret techniques of my clan, then it should be this old man thanking you." The old dragon said with a smile.
As for the Black Bull and the Phoenix, they were somewhat envious.
Their populations had already disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago.
However, they were not so lucky as to find a suitable successor.
"By the way, Ah Qing, you made amazing progress during your seclusion this time, breaking through to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm so quickly."
After a while, once the old dragon had calmed down, it remembered the purpose of their visit.
The gazes of Black Bull and Mingfeng also fell on Lu Qing.
With their level of understanding, they could easily tell that Lu Qing's current level was the true fifth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, not the aura he had previously faked.
"I also owe a lot to the elixirs bestowed by my seniors; my cultivation is rather special."
Previously, he was limited by the availability of medicinal pills, which is why his cultivation level remained relatively low.
With the help of those elixirs, I was able to break through quickly.
Lu Qing began to explain.
"Can I break through quickly with elixirs?"
Upon hearing this, the three strange beasts exchanged glances. Instead of showing joy, their faces betrayed a hint of worry.
The old dragon said meaningfully, "Ah Qing, although pills are good, you should not rely on them too much, otherwise your foundation will be unstable and it will affect your future path. Your path should be in the Dao Integration Realm, or even the Dao Transformation Realm. Don't limit yourself to the small Yuan Shen Realm."
They mistakenly believed that Lu Qing's rapid breakthrough was due to the large amount of pills he consumed to forcefully enhance his abilities.
Lu Qing understood the meaning behind the old dragon's words, and he said earnestly, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will pay attention."
Seeing that Lu Qing humbly accepted the offer, the old dragons were finally relieved.
After all, Lu Qing was the most stunning person they had ever seen in hundreds of thousands of years.
They certainly didn't want Lu Qing to ruin his path due to his eagerness for quick success and instant benefits.
However, Lu Qing's next words left them stunned.
"However, senior, I have already consumed most of the pills you gave me before. I wonder if you have any more? I can exchange them for corresponding treasures."
"What did you say? You refined all the pills I gave you before?"
The three old dragons were stunned upon hearing this.
My first reaction was that it was impossible.
It should be noted that even a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator at the Ninth Tribulation level would not be able to refine all the pills they provide in such a short time.
Putting aside everything else, the sheer amount of accumulated poison alone is something that a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator cannot withstand.
As a fourth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Qing should have been even less likely to be unharmed, let alone break through to the next level.
"Not all of it has been refined, but there isn't much left."
Lu Qing was also a little embarrassed.
The resources required for his cultivation are simply outrageous.
However, the pills that the old dragon gave him were indeed very effective, which is why he wondered if he could exchange treasures for the pills.
Anyway, he still has quite a few spiritual artifacts that he seized from the Tianyuan Great World. He doesn't usually need them, so exchanging them for cultivation resources is a good idea.
The three old dragons fell silent, unsure of what to say, and simply stared at Lu Qing.
Seeing the composure on Lu Qing's face, they realized that he was not joking.
The old dragon remained silent for a while before speaking, "With so many pills, how did you manage to withstand the enormous amount of pill poison?"
More importantly, after refining so many pills, Lu Qing only managed to break through from the fourth to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
"As I have said, my cultivation is rather special, and my physique is also somewhat unique. Therefore, things like pills and poisons are not harmful to me, but rather a great tonic."
Lu Qing was not lying.
Having successfully cultivated the [Eternal Heavenly Witch Body], his physical body now possesses some characteristics of powerful calamity beasts, enabling him to devour various exotic energies and transform them into his own power.
Although erysipelas is potent, it is merely a form of energy to him; far from being harmful, it can actually enhance his own abilities.
But Lu Qing's answer silenced the old Azure Dragon and the others once again.
The constitution that can regard erysipelas as a tonic may have been found in some legendary mythical beasts.
But I have never heard of human cultivators having such abilities.
Looking at Lu Qing, who only possessed the strength of the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, the three powerful beasts suddenly realized that they could not see through him.
The black bull recalled the scene where Lu Qing forced out his essence blood and had the Mind-Calming Mirror examine it.
It had sensed before that Lu Qing's blood and energy were extraordinary.
Could it be that Lu Qing possesses some kind of extraordinary physique?
However, Black Bull did not mention this issue.
Every cultivator has their own secrets. Since Lu Qing is not telling them, if they rashly inquire, it is easy to arouse Lu Qing's displeasure.
Having finally found such a peerless genius disciple for its master, it didn't want to cause any rift between them because of this.
"I never expected you, Aqing, to have such a unique physique. It's truly rare."
The old dragon had also thought of this problem, so it didn't ask in detail, but instead sighed.
"However, I'm afraid you won't be able to get more pills."
"The master left in a hurry back then, without leaving behind much, and he also took most of the resources in the Immortal Palace with him."
The pills I gave you before are almost all of my stock.
There are still some pills left for those used in the Dao Integration Realm, but very few for those used in the Nascent Soul Realm.
At this point, the old dragon showed a hint of embarrassment: "After all, the Immortal Palace didn't use many pills for the Nascent Soul Realm back then. They were basically given as rewards to some outer disciples and servants. The master's personal disciples used resources for the Dao Integration Realm."
Lu Qing was somewhat stunned.
He understood what the old dragon meant: there were indeed still resources in the Immortal Palace, but they could only be used by those at the Dao Integration Realm or above.
There are not many suitable candidates for the Nascent Soul Realm anymore.
To put it bluntly, his level of understanding is too low; even if he has resources, he can't use them now.
Seeing Lu Qing's expression, the old Azure Dragon also felt a little embarrassed.
The three of them had just been discussing how to train Lu Qing.
Unexpectedly, they are now even running out of cultivation pills for the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, on the other hand, who would have thought that Lu Qing would need such an exaggerated amount of pills for cultivation?
Logically speaking, the pills that Old Azure Dragon gave him earlier should have been enough for even a peerless genius to cultivate from the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
But all those pills only allowed Lu Qing to break through from the fourth to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm.
How did he absorb such a huge amount of medicinal power, or was most of it wasted?
If it's the latter, then that would be a bit bad.
This suggests that Lu Qing's talent in cultivation may not be as good as they imagined.
"I see. I was being a bit presumptuous."
Lu Qing snapped out of his daze and smiled.
Although I was somewhat disappointed, I wasn't exactly dejected.
After all, for him, the lack of cultivation resources was the norm, and he was already used to it.
Moreover, even without elixirs, with the help of the spiritual energy in the Lingxu Peak cave, his cultivation will not be too slow.
At most, it won't be able to make the same rapid progress as it has during this period.
After adjusting his mindset, Lu Qing then asked about another matter.
"By the way, senior, has anything happened in the secret realm during my two or three years of seclusion?"
"Nothing particularly special happened. It was just the cultivators who came in trying out the trial passage," the old Azure Dragon said casually.
"Ah Qing, do you have some past relationship with those cultivators outside?" the black bull asked.
"It's not that we have any old ties. It's just that when I first came here, I had some dealings with some of the cultivators," Lu Qing said with a smile.
Old Canglong and the others suddenly realized.
If Lu Qing said that, then he must have some grudge against someone outside.
They were well aware of the nature of the cultivators outside. Lu Qing was entering the secret realm alone, and he would inevitably be coveted by others.
I imagine something must have happened before they woke up.
“The fastest cultivators who attempted to break through the barriers are now stuck at the sixth level, far behind you, Ah Qing,” said the old Azure Dragon.
"The fastest one is still in level six?"
This was somewhat unexpected for Lu Qing.
He had been in seclusion on Lingxu Peak for two or three years, but he never expected that those people had only reached the sixth level.
You should know that many of the cultivators outside are experts at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and are the true disciples of many top forces.
"May I ask, senior, among those cultivators, there was a sword cultivator named Yu Jian and another cultivator named Mo Tu Shan. Which level have they each reached?"
"They are all in the sixth level."
Old Canglong understood that since Lu Qing had specifically mentioned these two people, it must be related to the "connection" he had just mentioned.
With a thought, it added, "However, that swordsman named Yu Jian was ambushed by a cultivator named Mo Tu Shan during the fifth level and suffered a serious injury. Although he recovered somewhat, it greatly affected his speed of breaking through the level, causing him to fall behind."
"Yu Jian was ambushed by Mo Tu Shan? No, there's still fighting in the trial passage. Did they all use the same passage?"
Lu Qing was quite surprised.
He knew the array passage he had taken; when trapped within the array, not only was fighting between them forbidden, but even communication was prohibited.
"The conditions of each test channel are not quite the same. Some channels can communicate with each other, and at certain checkpoints, the channels can be interconnected."
When you were clearing levels before, didn't you see teleportation arrays under your feet in levels five, seven, and nine?
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing recalled that it seemed there was indeed such a thing.
However, at the time he was focused on downloading and comprehending the formation inheritance, and did not pay much attention to these things.
Now I understand the meaning of those teleportation arrays.
His eyes lit up without him noticing. (End of Chapter)
