I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1248 - 764: Various Transformations, Broke Again_2
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Lu Qing had previously been hesitant to consume top-grade Spiritual Stones for his cultivation, but after this attempt, he was truly stunned by the results.
Regrettably, his supply of top-grade Spiritual Stones was quite limited.
Beyond the small amount looted from the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators he had slain, the bulk of his hoard—a thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones—came from the Gongsu Family’s vault in Zhou Tian City.
He felt uncertain whether this stash of over a thousand stones would suffice to push his Cultivation to the Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation.
"I am still too poor..." Lu Qing sighed involuntarily.
Given the current quality of his Mana, Middle Grade Spirit Stones provided almost negligible benefits.
Only top-grade Spirit Stones possessed the potency required to rapidly advance his Cultivation.
However, such stones were exceptionally rare, typically only found within the reserves of the premier Sects in the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Acquiring them proved to be a significant challenge for Lu Qing.
Thinking of the Heavenly Origin Great World caused Lu Qing’s heart to stir.
"Perhaps I should find time to return once the matters in the Returning Ruins Secret Realm are resolved."
Ever since he learned of the Gui Xu Taoist from Elder Azure Dragon, Lu Qing suspected that resources within this Immortal Palace were likely depleted.
This was evidenced by the fact that Elder Azure Dragon was unable to provide Primordial Spirit-level elixirs when Lu Qing had requested an exchange earlier.
Since he could not rely on the Immortal Palace for resources, he had to become self-sufficient.
The Heavenly Origin Great World was an ideal target for this.
It was, after all, a massive realm overflowing with wealth.
A mere branch of the Thirty-Six Upper Clans, the Gongsu Family, held over a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones in their vault.
One could only imagine the riches held by the main Gongsu Family treasury.
Furthermore, Lu Qing remained curious about the various anomalies he had observed in the deep void while departing from the Witch Clan’s Trial Secret Realm.
There were also several unresolved grievances to address.
With his current strength having increased so drastically, he could now challenge even those at the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit.
It was likely time to head back and settle those old debts.
With his plans beginning to take shape, Lu Qing recalled another matter.
He began to inspect the Storage Magical Treasures he had seized from Mo Tushan and the other two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.
Their hoards were respectable; many of the treasures would cause a frenzy among Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators in the outside world.
Unfortunately, most of the items were of no use to him personally.
Conversely, the elixirs and Spirit Stones they carried were far more practical for his needs.
Lu Qing was particularly delighted to find that Mo Tushan’s Storage Magical Treasure contained several hundred top-grade Spirit Stones.
That was a very welcome surprise.
Aside from the stones and pills, his most significant acquisition was the Nine Abyss Demon Tower.
However, because it was a Demonic Evil Treasure, it didn't suit him, and its handling felt clunky compared to the Green Mist Sword.
Lacking the time for a slow refinement process, he simply suppressed the Artifact Spirit and shoved the tower into a corner.
He would decide how to utilize it if a better opportunity arose later.
Once his inventory was finished, Lu Qing stretched his limbs, preparing to step out.
After such a long period of secluded cultivation and the intensity of the tribulation, he felt the need to soothe his Heart and Spirit.
There were also external matters he intended to deal with.
Additionally, he wondered if Ah Qing had successfully completed the trial set by Elder Azure Dragon.
Lu Qing deactivated the Cave Mansion’s Array and walked out.
As he stepped into the open air, his body suddenly went rigid.
Three pairs of massive eyes were staring down at him from the sky above.
"Greetings, esteemed elders."
Lu Qing bowed quickly, marveling at the power of these Unity Realm Stage beings.
While inside the Cave Mansion, he hadn't detected even a whisper of their presence.
The slight arrogance he felt after his breakthrough vanished instantly, replaced by a calm perspective.
He might be able to dominate the Primordial Spirit Realm and stand against the Nine Tribulations, but he was still insignificant compared to the Unity Realm Stage.
The world remained deep and full of mysteries.
Hidden masters and ancient monsters who had practiced for eons were not enemies he could afford to underestimate yet.
"Ah Qing, congratulations on your advancement to the Primordial Spirit Sixth Tribulation."
Elder Azure Dragon looked down at him.
Sensing that his aura had indeed reached the Sixth Tribulation, the elders all radiated joy.
They were pleased that their assumptions were correct, but they were also shocked by his progress.
It was simply too fast!
Lu Qing’s rate of improvement was staggering.
Even with their expectations, the reality of his current realm left them shaken.
Even in the ancient eras, seeing a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator advance this quickly was a rarity.
Their master’s former direct disciples had all been peerless geniuses who dominated their eras and suppressed all rivals.
Yet, even those legendary figures seemed to fade when compared to Lu Qing.
In just a few years, he had climbed from the Fourth Tribulation to the Sixth Tribulation.
This pace was unheard of; even their master had not matched it during his time in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Furthermore, Lu Qing was cultivating multiple Paths simultaneously, reaching such heights in each that he summoned Law tribulations.
The more Elder Azure Dragon pondered this, the more startled he became.
"It was merely a bit of luck. I wouldn't have succeeded so quickly without the assistance of the Immortal Mountain Cave Mansion on the second level. Additionally, esteemed elders, I must ask for your forgiveness for opening the other Cave Mansions for my cultivation needs without prior consent."
Lu Qing was well aware that the disturbances caused by opening the other mansions would not have escaped the notice of three Unity Realm Stage experts.
Regardless, he knew he had to maintain the correct etiquette.
As expected, Elder Azure Dragon dismissed the concern with a wave of his claw.
He laughed and said, "Do not worry about such trivialities. Those Immortal Mountain Cave Mansions have been sealed for countless years and were serving no purpose. By activating them, you have given them utility. Besides, I told you before that you may stay in any Cave Mansion you wish; there is no need to ask us."
"Quite right," the Black Bull added in a booming voice. "Those Cave Mansions were just sitting there going to waste. By converting the Spiritual Energy within into your Cultivation, you've given them value."
"You are the master’s Direct Disciple; it is only right for you to use the resources here."
Ming Feng nodded at Lu Qing, offering a rare word of approval.
"I thank the elders for their generosity," Lu Qing said, feeling relieved. He then asked, "By the way, Elder Azure Dragon, how did Ah Qing perform in his test?"
"Ah Qing, well..."
Elder Azure Dragon smiled at the mention of the name.
"The boy is doing excellently. His talent regarding the Dao of Space is truly remarkable. In fact, he just recently broke through the trial I designed and is currently in seclusion."
"Remarkable is an understatement! Ah Qing’s spatial talent is nearly on par with Elder Azure Dragon’s own kin!" the Black Bull shouted. "Ah Qing, you should know that Elder Azure Dragon is beaming with pride right now; his clan’s Secret Technique finally has a worthy successor."
The Black Bull’s eyes betrayed a hint of jealousy as he spoke.
He wondered how this old dragon had been lucky enough to find such a perfect heir.
"It is Ah Qing’s great fortune to have earned your favor, senior."
Lu Qing was genuinely happy to hear of Ah Qing's success.
"Speaking of the boy, has he practiced any techniques from our Dragon Clan? I sensed a trace of Dragon bloodline within him," Elder Azure Dragon suddenly inquired.
"He has. Ah Qing was lucky enough to find an inheritance called the [True Dragon Nine Transformations] while we were in the Witch Clan’s secret realm. He also integrated the bloodline of a member of the Blood Dragon Clan," Lu Qing explained truthfully.
He felt it was important to be transparent, especially since Ah Qing was set to inherit the elder's legacy.
To his surprise, Elder Azure Dragon’s eyes snapped wide at the revelation.
"True Dragon Nine Transformations! Ah Qing, are you certain that is the name of the Cultivation Technique?!"
