"Old Doctor, what was that just now?"
Wei Shanhai looked at the old doctor with a face full of shock.
The two of them had been sitting under the plum tree drinking tea when they were suddenly stunned by the sudden fluctuation of heaven and earth.
Wei Shanhai didn't understand what was happening and could only ask the old doctor.
He knew the old doctor's cultivation level was much higher than his own, so he should be able to see through it.
The old doctor's expression was calm. After carefully sensing for a while, he sighed.
"I'm afraid the legendary transformation of heaven and earth is about to begin."
"You mean the great change that Tianji Tower spoke of is about to start?!" Wei Shanhai trembled all over.
"It seems so. That fluctuation just now was from heaven and earth, and I can vaguely sense that there have already been some subtle changes between heaven and earth. However, these changes are not obvious yet and are difficult to detect." The old doctor nodded.
"So, where exactly will this change take place?" Wei Shanhai was still somewhat confused."I don't know either." The old doctor shook his head. "But since heaven and earth have shown signs, it won't be long before we can see what the change really is."
In fact, the old doctor knew a little bit.
If the speculation in the notebook that Lu Qing showed him was correct.
The so-called spiritual revival was about to truly begin.
But that was just an ancient guess. Before it was confirmed, the old doctor dared not ensure whether it was true.
"If heaven and earth are really going to change, it seems that troubled times are indeed coming."
Wei Shanhai sighed.
The old doctor also fell into silence.
In fact, he sensed some other things in the sound of heaven and earth just now.
But it was not convenient to say them at the moment.
"Grandpa Chen, what happened just now? It was so noisy outside."
At this time, Xiao Yan, holding Xiao Li, rubbed her eyes and walked out from the house, looking sleepy.
She had been napping with Xiao Li in the house just now and was suddenly awakened.
But her words made both the old doctor and Wei Shanhai tremble.
"Xiao Yan, you could hear the noise just now?"
Wei Shanhai asked eagerly.
"Yes, it was so loud. How could I not hear it, Grandpa Wei? Was someone demolishing a house?" Xiao Yan said, confused.
Wei Shanhai's mouth opened slightly, looking at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
The old doctor understood why he was so surprised.
The sound of heaven and earth just now was the manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, not an ordinary sound, and it was difficult to hear with the naked ear. R??ö?È?
By rights, only Martial Grandmasters who had tempered their soul power and Precelestial Realm experts could sense that vast sound.
But Xiao Yan, a child, could hear it even in her sleep. How could Wei Shanhai not be shocked?
But the old doctor knew some inside information.
He knew that Lu Qing had given Xiao Yan the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, and he had personally experienced the magic of that liquid.
Not only could it greatly enhance a person's aptitude, but with good luck, it could even trigger some special talents.
Obviously, after taking the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, Xiao Yan had gained some special ability, allowing her to "listen" to the sound of heaven and earth just now.
"Old Doctor, it seems Xiao Yan's talent is also extraordinary."
At this time, Wei Shanhai realized.
His gaze at Xiao Yan was full of wonder, like looking at a rare treasure.
He used to think that Xiao Yan was smart and cute, much more clever and intelligent than other children.
But considering that she was Lu Qing's sister and greatly favored by the old doctor.
With the cultivation and insight of these two, it was normal for Xiao Yan to be stronger than ordinary children due to their influence.
But now it seemed that things were far from simple.
Obviously without any cultivation, she could "listen" to the Dao sounds of the changes in the rules of heaven and earth. It was clear that Xiao Yan must have some special talent.
Moreover, Lu Qing was a peerless genius rarely seen in a thousand years, a child of fortune.
How could Xiao Yan, who shared the same blood, be ordinary?
She was just young and had not yet shown her talent.
The more Wei Shanhai thought about it, the more he felt it was right. Naturally, his gaze at Xiao Yan became more enthusiastic.
"Old Doctor, Xiao Yan is already seven years old. Why hasn't she been taken under your wing to cultivate martial arts?"
The more Wei Shanhai looked at Xiao Yan, the more he liked her, and then he turned his head and asked.
The old doctor knew his intentions as soon as he saw this.
He remembered what Lu Qing had said before and shook his head.
"Aqing once said that Xiao Yan's cultivation path is special and shouldn't be rushed. It must wait for the right time to be arranged by him personally, so I don't interfere."
In the past two years, the old doctor had also asked Lu Qing if Xiao Yan should cultivate martial arts.
But Lu Qing always said the time had not come, so Xiao Yan had not formally started cultivating until now.
"So, Lu Xiaolangjun has already made arrangements."
When Wei Shanhai heard this, he knew that his idea of taking Xiao Yan as a disciple was not feasible.
In his heart, Lu Qing was much more mysterious than the old doctor.
Since he had already made arrangements, it was obvious that he wouldn't let Xiao Yan casually take a master.
"Grandpa Chen, why hasn't brother come back yet? How long will he stay in the mountains? Xiao Yan misses him."
Hearing the old doctor mention Lu Qing, Xiao Yan pouted and said a little aggrievedly.
She hadn't seen her brother for many days.
"Yes, Old Doctor, why has Lu Xiaolangjun's seclusion been so long this time?" Wei Shanhai also asked.
Previously, after sparring with Wei Shanhai, Lu Qing said he had some insights and went into seclusion, and it had been seven days.
In the past, Lu Qing rarely secluded himself for so long. Was it possible that he was going to directly break through to the Precelestial Realm?
Thinking of this, Wei Shanhai's heart trembled.
If that were true, it would be no small matter.
Lu Qing was only how old now? If he really stepped into the Precelestial Realm and it spread, it would shock the world. Even the four great secret places would be moved.
"I don't know either. Aqing only said he would be in seclusion for a while but didn't say how long."
The old doctor was also a little puzzled.
He knew that Lu Qing should be in the deep mountains, where he and Xiao Li had discovered, the place where Earth Vein Spirit Liquid could be produced, in seclusion.
But because of Xiao Yan, he rarely secluded himself for so long.
This time, it was indeed a bit unusual.
Unfortunately, he had not been to that mysterious place.
Xiao Li stayed close to Xiao Yan, and besides Lu Qing and Xiao Yan, no one else could command it, not even him.
Otherwise, he could go and see what was happening.
Whoosh!
Just as the old doctor and others were thinking about Lu Qing.
The Xiao Li that had been held by Xiao Yan suddenly jumped out of her arms and dashed outside.
The old doctor and others were first stunned, then reacted quickly and looked out.
Then they saw a figure standing at the gate of the courtyard, with Xiao Li on his shoulder, rubbing against him. Who else could it be but Lu Qing?
"Brother!"
When Xiao Yan saw Lu Qing, she immediately opened her arms and ran forward, jumping up and leaping towards Lu Qing before she even got there.
Afraid she would fall, Lu Qing had to reach out and catch her.
Seeing the little girl bury her head in his arms, looking like she was about to cry, he fondly rubbed her hair.
"Sorry, it's my fault this time for being in seclusion for so long and making Xiao Yan wait."
Fortunately, Xiao Yan's emotions came and went quickly and were easy to comfort.
Soon, under Lu Qing's comforting, she was laughing again.
After comforting Xiao Yan, Lu Qing put her down and came to the old doctor and Wei Shanhai.
He greeted Wei Shanhai first, then said to the old doctor, "Master, I'm back."
"Good, it's good that you're back."
The old doctor nodded and didn't ask why Lu Qing's seclusion took longer than usual.
But Wei Shanhai couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Lu Xiaolangjun, did you reach the Precelestial Realm in this seclusion?"
Wei Shanhai's eyes were full of expectation.
Although he couldn't sense the unique aura of the Precelestial Realm from Lu Qing.
He had long been unable to see through Lu Qing's true level.
So even if Lu Qing had some secret technique to conceal his Precelestial aura, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
"No." Lu Qing shook his head. "Although I gained something in this seclusion, it only solidified my foundation further, and I have not yet reached the Precelestial Realm."
"I see." Wei Shanhai, though a bit disappointed, still comforted him. "Lu Xiaolangjun, you don't need to be disheartened. The Precelestial Realm is mysterious, but with your talent, reaching that realm is only a matter of time. I'm sure as long as you accumulate a little more, you will
naturally break through."
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Wei." Lu Qing saluted in thanks.
"Master, have you had lunch?"
After a little chat, Lu Qing asked.
"Not yet."
"Then it's perfect. I've been in seclusion for these days and feel a bit hungry. I'll go make some dishes now."
Lu Qing didn't realize that refining the Earth Spirit Pearl took so long.
If it weren't for his profound cultivation and strong blood and qi, his body would have been unable to bear it.
"Go ahead." The old doctor had no objections.
"Elder Wei, please stay for the meal as well." Lu Qing invited.
"Then I won't be polite." Wei Shanhai laughed. "The food you make has a special flavor. Even Ningyan and Zian often miss it. Today, I'm fortunate to enjoy it."
In the past two years, Wei Shanhai had tasted Lu Qing's cooking a few times.
It was indeed different and amazed him, even though he wasn't usually particular about food.
Hearing that Lu Qing was going to cook again, he was a bit looking forward to it.
"It's just some home-cooked food. Madam Wei and the others praised it too much."
Lu Qing entered the kitchen and spent half an hour making some dishes.
Having not eaten Lu Qing's cooking for days, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li were especially happy eating it.
The old doctor and Wei Shanhai also ate quite contentedly.
At the dinner table, Lu Qing also started to subtly inquire about the situation in the prefecture city.
He hadn't expected that refining the Earth Spirit Pearl in Yuhua Cave would take six or seven days.
He didn't know how the situation in the prefecture city had developed since he left and could only ask Wei Shanhai.
Unexpectedly, Wei Shanhai knew quite a bit.
After all, many of the Wei family's businesses had moved to the prefecture city in previous years.
So, the news from there was still very well-informed.
Lu Qing had caused such a big incident in the prefecture city, even killing a Precelestial Realm expert. Such a big event couldn't be covered up.
The day after the incident, the Wei family's spies in the prefecture city had sent the news back.
Since then, the Wei family had been keeping an eye on the situation there.
"Lu Xiaolangjun, you don't know that the old woman of the Zheng family had privately conducted a human sacrifice ritual many years ago when her eldest son died.
That day, the Lord of the prefecture city invited the heads of various forces in the city to open the tomb for inspection and found dozens of clay figurines left after the ritual. It shows how insane the old woman of the Zheng family was!
It's no wonder that mysterious expert was so angry and killed her.
Frankly, if I had known this, I might have taken action myself to teach that old woman a lesson.
That mysterious expert was decisive in killing, not only killing the old woman but also destroying the graves and coffins of her most cherished sons and grandsons, and even shooting her second son to death with an arrow. It was truly satisfying!"
After recounting the events in the prefecture city, Wei Shanhai sighed.
"Such a thing happened. Does anyone know who that mysterious expert is?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.
The old doctor seemed to have heard these things before and didn't show surprise.
"This is the strangest part. The mysterious expert seemed to appear out of nowhere, and no one could find his background. Yet his strength was extremely terrifying.
It is said that when he killed the old woman of the Zheng family, it took only a dozen breaths.
You must know that although the old woman of the Zheng family had little life left, she was still a peak Precelestial Realm expert. She didn't last even a dozen breaths and was killed.
It can be seen how powerful that mysterious expert is. Many people speculate that he is likely a formidable expert above the small achievement stage of the Precelestial Realm."
Lu Qing: ...
The rumors were indeed exaggerated. How could he not know he had reached the small achievement stage of the Precelestial Realm?
"…What happened to the Zheng family after suffering such a disaster?" After a moment of silence, Lu Qing asked.
"What else could happen? The prefecture city is prosperous, but land is extremely valuable. Every plot is coveted by many.
Without the most important Precelestial Realm support, the Zheng family head dead, and committing the taboo of conducting human sacrifice, their fate was sealed.
In the past few days, the direct line of the Zheng family was captured and imprisoned by the city lord, waiting for punishment. The rest of the collateral relatives had all their properties confiscated and were expelled from the city. For three generations, they are not allowed to step into the city, and violators will be executed.
It can be said that the Zheng family is gone, completely wiped out."
