I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 352

"Wei Family Head, considering the relationship between our two families, if Zihao is in danger, I should accompany you.

However, in the past few days, Xiao Yan has reached a critical point in her cultivation, and I must stay by her side to watch over her. For now, I am unable to leave.

If you can wait a few more days, I might be able to go with you to the State City."

It had been about six months since Lu Qing taught Xiao Yan the Breathing Technique.

Although the little girl was mischievous and playful, she was still diligent in her cultivation.

At the very least, she completed her daily cultivation tasks seriously, without slacking off.

Xiao Yan had exceptional aptitude, already possessing the Ice Muscle and Jade Bone talent and a trace of innate Precelestial Body potential.

When that trace of primordial energy fused into her body, it completely awakened the potential of her innate Precelestial Body.

In terms of cultivation aptitude, Xiao Yan could now be considered a true genius.

Even Hu Zezhi, a favored child of great luck, couldn't compare to her.

Thus, even though she wasn’t particularly hard-working in her cultivation, in the past six months, Xiao Yan had already mastered the Breathing Technique to perfection.

As long as she made another breakthrough, she would achieve a state where her energy flowed smoothly throughout her body, without impurities, and her hundred meridians would be fully opened, entering the Precelestial Realm.

According to Lu Qing's calculations, Xiao Yan’s breakthrough would happen within the next few days.

In Lu Qing’s eyes, apart from his master and Xiao Li, no one else in this world was more important than Xiao Yan.

Breaking through to the Precelestial Realm was not without risks.

So at this critical juncture, even if the sky were to fall outside, he wouldn’t leave.

"Lu Xiaolangjun, I understand your concern, but Zihao might be in danger, and as his father, I can’t afford to wait for too many days. Therefore, I’ll go on my own this time.

Besides, I’m just going to assess the situation and won’t reveal myself.

After all, it's the State City, and even if that mysterious force is brazen, they wouldn't dare cause trouble there openly.

Otherwise, Zihao and the others wouldn't have sought refuge there in the first place."

Wei Xinghe could sense that Xiao Yan’s aura was full and that she was indeed on the verge of a breakthrough.

After a moment of thought, he decided to go to the State City alone to check things out.

Lu Qing nodded. Wei Xinghe’s decision was not unexpected.

He then handed over a jade sword talisman.

"Wei Family Head, this is a sword talisman I crafted in my spare time. Take it with you.

It contains a small Sword Formation, sealed with three strands of Sword Qi.

If you encounter an enemy you cannot handle, you can activate it, and it should be able to fend off the danger."

He then took out two more talismans: "This Lightness Talisman can be activated at a critical moment to increase your speed threefold for fifteen minutes. It may be of great use in times of emergency.

And this one is called a Concealment Talisman. It can mask your innate breath. Unless someone is very close, even those in the Precelestial Realm would have difficulty sensing your aura."

"Thank you, Lu Xiaolangjun."

Wei Xinghe received the three treasures.

He knew that Lu Qing was now a true cultivator, and anything he gifted would surely be extraordinary.

He carefully stored them away with great reverence.

"It’s a pity that time is short. The jade stones sent last time have all been used up.

Otherwise, I could have crafted more talismans for you to carry."

Lu Qing sighed with regret.

The jade stones the Wei family had sent previously were mostly used to create Spirit-Converging Tablets, and there wasn’t much left.

As a result, he hadn’t been able to make many talismans.

"It’s more than enough. Given my current level, I doubt I could activate more treasures anyway."

Wei Xinghe quickly replied.

He was well aware of his limitations.

At present, he was only in the early stage of the Precelestial Realm, and his Soul Power was not strong.

After a brief check, he could feel that each of the three treasures Lu Qing had given him was extraordinary.

Each one would require a significant amount of soul power to activate.

Thus, even if Lu Qing provided him with more talismans, he wouldn't be able to use them effectively.

"Xinghe, you must be cautious on this journey. The current situation in the outside world is not as peaceful as before.

Remember, while Zihao’s safety is important, your safety is also crucial for the well-being of our Wei family."

Wei Shanhai cautioned him.

"I understand, Patriarch," Wei Xinghe replied seriously.

Wei Shanhai would not accompany him on this trip. Although Wei Zihao was an important member of the family, he wasn’t significant enough to warrant the efforts of both Precelestial Realm experts.

If both Precelestial Realm experts were to perish in the State City, the Wei family would be doomed.

As the patriarch of the Wei family, Wei Shanhai knew how to weigh the priorities.

Thus, after the banquet ended, Wei Xinghe set out immediately for the State City.

However, with the Sword Talisman and other talismans Lu Qing had given him, his confidence was significantly boosted.

Especially the sword talisman.

When he probed it with his mind, he could sense the terrifying sword intent contained within.

If it were to be unleashed, the power would be unimaginable.

At least, with his current Precelestial Realm cultivation, he knew he would not be able to withstand it.

The State City wasn’t exactly close to Cang County, and by the time Wei Xinghe arrived, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

Seeing the majestic city walls of the State City, Wei Xinghe adjusted his breathing and prepared to enter the city.

After entering, the city seemed as usual, with no sense of impending danger. Wei Xinghe felt more at ease.

He strolled slowly down the streets, his aura concealed by the Concealment Talisman Lu Qing had given him.

No one in the entire State City noticed that a Precelestial Realm expert had quietly entered the city.

After wandering for a while, Wei Xinghe found an opportunity to sneak into a small tavern.

"Guest, we’re about to close. Please come again tomorrow," the tavern keeper said without even looking up as someone entered.

"Ahem!"

Wei Xinghe coughed heavily.

The tavern keeper was surprised, and when he looked up, his face changed dramatically.

"Family Head! How…"

"Quiet, let’s talk inside."

Wei Xinghe silenced the tavern keeper.

The tavern keeper quickly adjusted: "Yes, yes, this way, guest. We still have a little food left, let me prepare it for you."

Very soon, the tavern keeper led Wei Xinghe to a secluded stone chamber at the back.

"Family Head, this stone chamber is specially built. Whatever is spoken here will not be overheard outside."

"Good, not bad." Wei Xinghe glanced around at the thick, tightly sealed walls of the stone chamber and nodded in satisfaction.

However, his expression quickly became serious.

"I’ve come here because I received word from you that Zihao’s whereabouts had been discovered?"

"Yes, Family Head. Two days ago, we spotted the young master in the city.

At first, we thought we were mistaken, but after further investigation, we confirmed that it was indeed the young master."

"You needed repeated confirmations? Zihao…?"

Wei Xinghe was puzzled. The family’s spies should be very familiar with Zihao’s appearance, so why did they need to repeatedly verify his identity?

"That’s something we haven’t had the chance to report to you yet. Family Head, you should be prepared for this—young master seems to have undergone some changes. He doesn’t quite look like he did before."

The tavern keeper cautiously explained.

"What do you mean by changes? Tell me everything clearly."

Wei Xinghe felt a sense of unease rising within him and immediately pressed for answers.

...

While Wei Xinghe was arriving at the State City, back at the Lu Family in Nine Mile Village, Lu Qing had a solemn expression on his face.

At that moment, Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged before him, her small face tense as the energy in her body surged, showing signs of breaking through the meridians.

"Ah Qing, is Xiao Yan about to break through?" Xiao Li, standing nervously on Lu Qing’s shoulder, asked.

"Yes," Lu Qing nodded, though his attention remained fully focused on Xiao Yan’s fluctuating aura, not daring to relax for even a moment.

He was just as tense as Xiao Li.

Both of them stared intently at Xiao Yan, fearing that something might go wrong during her breakthrough.

This made "Yan" inside the Li Huo Cauldron shake its head in exasperation.

In its view, both Lu Qing and Xiao Li were overly anxious.

The Breathing Technique that Lu Qing had taught Xiao Yan was a genuine method of the Dao, the most reliable and stable kind.

As long as she cultivated step by step, there was almost no risk of her going astray.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan’s foundation was solid, and her aptitude was extraordinary. This breakthrough could be said to be a natural progression, with almost no chance of failure.

Lu Qing and Xiao Li were simply worrying too much out of concern.

As expected, everything went exactly as "Yan" had predicted.

Xiao Yan’s breakthrough was smooth and effortless, with little difficulty in breaking through her meridians.

She easily opened all her meridians, allowing her energy to circulate throughout her body, and successfully advanced to the Qi Refinement Realm.

Of course, Xiao Yan had only reached the Qi Refinement Realm in terms of cultivation.

In terms of power, she was still worlds apart from Lu Qing, with no comparison between the two.

But still, a breakthrough is a breakthrough.

Now that Xiao Yan had entered the Qi Refinement Realm, it meant that she could begin practicing the Qi-Eating Technique, absorbing spiritual energy and transforming it into her own, becoming a true cultivator.

As they watched the Heavenly Dao manifest, bestowing energy upon Xiao Yan to refine her Precelestial Body, both Lu Qing and Xiao Li let out a long sigh of relief.

Reaching this stage meant that Xiao Yan’s breakthrough was complete, and there were no longer any risks.

The process of refining her Precelestial Body wasn’t short.

Given Xiao Yan’s exceptional aptitude, far surpassing that of the average Precelestial cultivator, it took about half an hour before the Heavenly Dao receded, revealing Xiao Yan’s small figure.

The little girl opened her eyes, her face full of excitement.

"Brother, I think I’ve broken through!"

"Yes, you’re right. You did break through. Xiao Yan, you’re amazing."

Lu Qing immediately praised her.

Xiao Li also jumped over to congratulate Xiao Yan.

Watching the two little ones playing, "Yan" couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

Although it had anticipated that Xiao Yan’s breakthrough wouldn’t be difficult, it was still amazed when she successfully opened her meridians and stepped into the Precelestial Realm.

After all, Xiao Yan was still very young. Through its time spent with the Lu family, "Yan" had learned that Xiao Yan wasn’t even nine years old yet.

A Precelestial cultivator under the age of nine—such an extraordinary genius would have been extremely rare even during the ancient era of cultivation.

She was a true seed of the immortal path.

Once discovered, she would undoubtedly be sought after by all the great immortal sects, who would nurture her as one of their core disciples.

Who could have imagined that this mischievous little girl would possess such an extraordinary talent?

And then there was Lu Qing’s strength.

It made "Yan" begin to wonder.

Could it be that Lu Qing and Xiao Yan had some extraordinary bloodline in their ancestry?

Otherwise, how could such a remote village produce a pair of siblings with such unrivaled talent?

"Ah Qing, I just sensed the Heavenly Dao’s fluctuation over here. Did Xiao Yan just break through?"

At this moment, the voice of the old doctor, Chen Lao Dafu, echoed in Lu Qing’s mind.

"Yes, Master. Xiao Yan has just successfully broken through and refined her Precelestial Body," Lu Qing replied via transmission.

"I’m coming right over!"

The old doctor’s tone was full of excitement.

Soon, the sound of two sets of footsteps came from outside—it was the old doctor and Wei Shanhai rushing over.

"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Wei, I’ve succeeded in my breakthrough! Am I amazing?" Xiao Yan ran up to them, eager to show off.

"Yes, Xiao Yan, you’re fantastic."

"Amazing. Xiao Yan is truly amazing."

Neither of the old men held back their praise.

Wei Shanhai, in particular, was full of admiration.

After all, Xiao Yan wasn’t even nine years old and had already stepped into the Precelestial Realm.

Although she didn’t possess much power in this realm yet, the breakthrough itself was significant.

Having entered the Precelestial stage and opened all her meridians, Xiao Yan’s life essence had fundamentally transformed.

Even if her cultivation didn’t progress further, she would now live to two hundred years without illness or suffering, barring any accidents.

And with Lu Qing by her side, how could Xiao Yan’s cultivation not improve?

It was clear that Xiao Yan’s future path of cultivation would be smooth and filled with endless potential.

"Heehee."

Hearing the elders’ compliments, Xiao Yan beamed with joy.

Seeing this, the old doctor couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

The little girl had no desire for cultivation out of ambition.

In the beginning, she had been motivated by her curiosity about flying, as promised by Lu Qing.

Later, she discovered that cultivation was actually quite fun.

Simply by meditating and breathing each day, she could feel completely refreshed and full of energy.

Thus, even though she was mischievous, she completed her morning and evening cultivation tasks diligently every day, never once slacking off.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this carefree mindset that her cultivation advanced so rapidly.

"Brother, you said that once I mastered the Breathing Technique, you’d teach me how to fly.

Can I start learning now?"

Xiao Yan hadn’t forgotten her original motivation for learning the Breathing Technique.

"Of course you can learn, but how quickly you’ll be able to fly depends on how hard you work."

Lu Qing smiled as he teased her.

"I’ll work really hard to learn!" Xiao Yan replied earnestly.

Lu Qing chuckled, just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.

"Ah Qing, what’s wrong?"

The old doctor and Wei Shanhai noticed Lu Qing’s sudden shift.

"I can sense that the talismans I gave to the Wei Family Head have been activated," Lu Qing said, his expression turning serious.
