Spirit Stones in Short Supply, Traveling the World

Lu Qing was struggling with his cultivation.

In fact, besides the Spirit Stone, he also had two other treasures that could quickly improve his cultivation.

It was the Five Elements Treasure Lotus he obtained from the Five Elements Secret Realm, and the Serene Lotus he obtained from the Gray Robe Man.

Both of these precious lotuses are Top-Grade Spirit Medicine, containing extremely powerful medicinal properties; they are truly rare and incomparably precious medicinal treasures.

It is of great use even to powerful beings at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Moreover, these two precious lotuses have other wonderful uses; refining them into elixirs is the best way to unleash their medicinal power.

Directly consuming it to improve one's cultivation level would waste a lot of medicinal power, which is too wasteful.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Lu Qing did not want to use these two Top-Grade Spirit Medicine so soon.

"Let's wait until this matter is settled before going out to see if we can find suitable cultivation resources."

Lu Qing made a decision in her heart.

After drinking the Plum Tea, the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion got up to take his leave. Although Lu Qing and the others tried to persuade him to stay, he had something to entrust to him and needed to quickly convey the information that Lu Qing had obtained to the other major secret places, so he politely declined.

"Young Master Lu, when I came here, several holy lords asked me to pass on a message."

What happened back then was just a misunderstanding, and I hope you won't hold it against me.

The First Holy Master also said that you will always be the most honored Honored Guest of the Holy Mountain.

I hope that one day I can receive some guidance from you.

Before leaving, the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion suddenly said these words.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "I dare not presume to offer guidance. I have long admired the three Holy Lords."

If he has the time in the future, Lu Qing will definitely ascend the Holy Mountain and exchange ideas with the three Holy Lords.

Lu Qing didn't have any ill feelings towards the three Holy Lords of the Holy Mountain.

After all, since the establishment of the Holy Mountain, it has indeed made great contributions to maintaining the stability of the world.

As for the past conflict, Lu Qing didn't care too much, since he hadn't suffered any losses.

On the contrary, the master had received a fortuitous opportunity from there.

Therefore, he gladly accepted the other party's gesture of goodwill.

"Alright, I will report to the Holy Lords when I return."

Upon hearing this, the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion was overjoyed.

He very much hoped that Holy Mountain could repair its relationship with Lu Qing.

After the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion and his disciples left, Lu Qing looked at the Old Doctor.

"I haven't congratulated Master yet on reaching the Foundation Establishment Completion. He's only one step away from the Golden Core stage."

Indeed, when Lu Qing came here this time, he found that his master's aura was harmonious and had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Completion stage.

The Old Doctor smiled and said, "I have to thank you A Qing, for the cultivation techniques and pills you gave me. That's why I was able to cultivate so quickly."

"Pills are ultimately just an aid. It's because you, Master, are so powerful that you can transform pills into real strength once you reach a certain level," Lu Qing said with a smile.

After killing the Gray Robe Man and his Senior Brother, Lu Qing obtained a lot of cultivation techniques and pills from their Storage Magic Treasure.

He kept some things that were useful to himself, and gave a lot of the rest to his master.

Furthermore, with the blessing of the formation, the spiritual energy within Nine Li Village has become increasingly abundant.

This has led to the Old Doctor's cultivation level advancing by leaps and bounds over the past year.

Having overcome several minor obstacles, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Completion.

It is worth mentioning that even Ma Gu and his apprentice Wei Zi'an, as well as Hu Ze Zhi and a few others, were present.

During this year, they all broke through and entered the Innate Realm.

His cultivation progress has been remarkably rapid.

This is not surprising, after all, during their trip to Central Province, the three of them also obtained a wisp of Source Qi.

After refining and absorbing it, his physical aptitude underwent a tremendous transformation, making him no less capable than those born under heaven.

Moreover, he was cultivating in a place as rich in spiritual energy as Nine Li Village, and he also received guidance from the Old Doctor and Lu Qing from time to time.

With such exceptionally favorable cultivation conditions, it would be abnormal if one's cultivation progressed slowly.

Several months passed after the visit by the Master of Heaven's Secret Pavilion.

On this day, Lu Qing awoke from his cultivation in the Jade Cave Chamber.

Looking at the Low-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand, which had become dull, he fell silent.

This Spirit Stone was the last Low-Grade Spirit Stone he had, and he had already used it all up.

He sensed the Mana Golden Core within his body and discovered that he was still far from completing the first transformation.

After receiving the Spirit Stone from the two Gray Robe Man Senior Brother, Lu Qing felt like he had suddenly become rich.

After all, according to "Yan", that was equivalent to the inventory of a large Cultivation Era.

Unexpectedly, even with so many Spirit Stone, he still couldn't cultivate to the first stage of the Golden Core.

The resources required for cultivating this Perfect Golden Core are simply terrifying.

"Could it be that I need to use Mid-Grade Spirit Stone for cultivation?"

Another Spirit Stone appeared in Lu Qing's hand.

This Spirit Stone is much more crystal clear than the previous one.

It was one of the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone he obtained from the Gray Robe Man's Storage Bag.

However, Lu Qing hesitated when he held the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

He didn't get many Mid-Grade Spirit Stone from the Gray Robe Man's Storage Bag, only a dozen or so.

Besides cultivation, Spirit Stone of medium grade and above have many other uses.

For example, formation, weapon crafting, etc.

Alternatively, if he wants to pilot Void Flying Boat across the Starry Sky in the future, his own magical power alone will certainly not be enough.

At this point, Mid-Grade Spirit Stone can come in handy.

After pondering the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand for a while, Lu Qing finally put it away.

Spirit Stone are strategic support, so it's best to keep some on hand for unforeseen circumstances.

If you use them all up at once, it will be quite troublesome if you need them later but don't have them on hand.

Moreover, given his current strength, whether or not he has completed the first stage of cultivation in this world makes little difference.

"It seems it's time to go on a trip."

Lu Qing murmured to herself, having already made up her mind.

He turned and left the Jade Cave Chamber, his body transforming into a stream of light, and quickly returned to the village.

"A Qing is back?"

Some villagers saw the stream of light that Lu Qing had transformed into, looked up at it briefly, and then went back to their own business.

After so much time, they had long gotten used to Lu Qing frequently going out in high places.

"Brother, you're back!"

As soon as she landed in the yard, Xiao Yan ran out of the house.

Xiao Li and Five Elements followed behind.

"Yes, I'm back."

Looking at Xiao Yan, Lu Qing's heart suddenly stirred.

"Xiao Yan, are you bored at home? Do you want your brother to take you out to play?"

"Where are we going to play? To the Da Ji?" Xiao Yan asked, tilting her head.

Although the little girl has grown up a bit, she is still as innocent and carefree as before.

She thought Lu Qing was going to take her to the market.

"We want to go further, to go out and travel around, just like when we went to Central Province last time."

"Are we going on a long trip? Yes, yes!"

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

"Then let's go tell our master, and then we'll set off."

"Isn't Grandpa Chen coming with us?"

"My master is currently at a crucial stage in his cultivation and it is not suitable for him to travel far."

"Then I'll tell Er Ya and my aunts."

"Okay, go ahead."

After Xiao Yan said goodbye to her friends, Lu Qing took Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Five Elements to the Half-Mountain Courtyard.

Are you going on a long trip?

After hearing Lu Qing's words, the Old Doctor asked.

"Yes, my cultivation has recently reached a bottleneck, and further seclusion is no longer useful. So I wanted to take Xiao Yan out to travel and broaden her horizons," Lu Qing said.

The Old Doctor pondered for a moment and said, "It's good to go out for a walk. Don't worry, I'll take care of things in the village, nothing will happen."

Lu Qing was not worried about the safety of the village.

Now that the formidable enemy, Hanging Sky Mountain, has been eliminated, the village is protected by the array he rearranged after achieving the Golden Core.

Moreover, Wei Shanhai and his group have been living in the villa for a long time.

It can be said that Nine Li Village is now completely impregnable and powerful.

There is absolutely no need for anyone to come and cause trouble.

Lu Qing was more concerned about something else.

"Master, what are your plans for Tribulation Transcendence and breaking through?"

The Old Doctor had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Completion several months ago.

But after all this time, there has still been no breakthrough.

"There's no rush. I plan to accumulate more experience. The matter of Tribulation Transcendence is of utmost importance, and I haven't yet sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough."

The Old Doctor, however, was not in a hurry.

"Since we haven't sensed the opportunity yet, there's no rush to break through." Lu Qing nodded.

The Golden Core Tribulation is extraordinary, especially the Mana Golden Core is condensed, which has an extremely important influence on the principles of future cultivation.

Therefore, the more accumulated knowledge and experience one has before Tribulation Transcendence, the better.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing that the master did not sense the opportunity for a breakthrough; on the contrary, it is a good thing.

This means that his accumulation has not reached its limit, and there is still room for him to continue to solidify his foundation.

"Master, when will you Tribulation Transcendence? Remember to send a message to your disciple, and your disciple will return to Protector you."

Lu Qing possesses Void Flying Boat. If he really wants to travel, even if he is far away in Central Province, it won't take him long to return.

"Alright, you guys go out and have fun without worry. If I sense an opportunity for a breakthrough, I'll send you a message."

The Old Doctor readily agreed.

So on this day, Lu Qing took Xiao Yan and two Spirit Beast and left Nine Li Village to travel.

Their first stop was Cang Province, where they lived.

This made Xiao Yan and Xiao Li extremely happy. Every day she could see new things, which not only made her happy but also greatly broadened her horizons.

Even Lu Qing felt quite gratified after seeing their happiness.

Since returning from Central Province, he has often been in seclusion, and the time he spends with Xiao Yan has become much less.

Since we've come all this way, let's make the most of this trip and enjoy ourselves to the fullest.

And so, after visiting Cang Province, Lu Qing and his group went on to Ji Zhou, Qi Province, Feng Province...

As they traveled, their footprints were left in many places across the land.

At first, Lu Qing went to explore the location given by "Yan".

As a result, he discovered that the places mentioned by "Yan" during the Ancient Cultivation Era contained Spirit Stone veins.

Although the spiritual energy is much more abundant than in other places.

But it's unclear whether it was because it had been mined before, or because the time for the world to recover was too short.

Ultimately, no Spirit Stone vein was formed.

Aside from picking some low-level Spirit Herb, there was almost nothing else to gain.

After several fruitless attempts, Lu Qing simply gave up his search for Spirit Stone veins and focused on playing with Xiao Yan and the others.

On this day, Lu Qing and his group arrived in a new large state.

"Is this the ocean? How magnificent!"

On a high mountain, Xiao Yan looked at the boundless ocean in front of her, her eyes filled with amazement.

Lu Qing also looked surprised.

They arrived at a small border state in the east.

This small state borders the East Sea. He brought Xiao Yan here because he wanted her to see the ocean in this world.

As a result, his mind was thoroughly shaken.

Having lived in this world for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen the ocean.

Compared to the Blue Star where I lived in my previous life, the ocean in this world is not only more vast, but also more breathtaking.

Furthermore, Lu Qing's Golden Core Realm level perception told him that there was an extremely powerful force hidden within this sea.

It is even more unfathomable than the land.

He felt a slight chill.

I recalled what "Yan" had once said.

In the Ancient Cultivation Era, the sea was ruled by Sea Race.

Even powerful beings at the Nascent Soul Realm dare not easily venture into the depths of the ocean.

Later, when the spiritual energy was depleted, the ocean became an even more forbidden zone for the Human Race.

Therefore, no one can say for sure what the situation is like deep in the ocean.

Now it seems that the world has changed, and Spiritual Qi Revival.

Unseen changes have also taken place in the depths of this ocean.

Moreover, any change that could make him feel wary must be significant.

The Five-Colored Winged Snake stared wide- Five Elements at the vast, turbulent sea before it.

Although it is a winged serpent, it also loves water.

When it guards the Five Elements Treasure Lotus in the Five Elements Secret Realm, it stays in the water all year round.

Seeing such a vast ocean now, it was not only awe-inspiring, but also felt an urge to go in and swim.

On the contrary, Xiao Li, who was standing on Lu Qing's shoulder, looked at the sea in front of her and sensed the abundant water-based spiritual energy around her, with a look of disgust on her face.

Naturally averse to water, it couldn't be more disgusted to see so much water.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sea, Lu Qing left with Xiao Yan and the others.

Although he was also interested in exploring the sea.

But the ocean is too complicated, and he didn't want to take any risks while carrying Xiao Yan.

Moreover, given Xiao Li's aversion to water, if he knew he was going to explore the ocean, he might get scratched all over.

After leaving the beach, Lu Qing led Xiao Yan and the others northward.

Along the way, we witnessed many new and interesting local customs and traditions.

Xiao Yan and the others were constantly exclaiming in surprise.

Even Lu Qing felt his eyes were opened, and he gained a deeper understanding of this world.

On this day, they arrived in a new large state.

Upon entering this large state, Lu Qing was surprised.

"The temperature here..."

He felt that the temperature dropped sharply after entering this large state.

It is significantly lower than the previous large state.

But the distance between the two is clearly not that far.

"Brother, the weather here is so nice, Xiao Yan likes it here."

What Lu Qing didn't expect was that, despite the low temperature, Xiao Yan looked like she was enjoying herself.

They seem to really like the climate here.

Lu Qing's heart stirred, and he sensed the surrounding laws of heaven and earth.

Soon, he realized the truth.

It turned out that the surrounding laws of heaven and earth had taken on a touch of icy coldness, adding a chill to this great continent.

Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has a trace of "icy cold" attribute.

No wonder Xiao Yan finds the climate here comfortable.

The little girl possesses the talent of "Ice Muscle Jade Bone," so she will naturally feel close to this environment.

"It seems we've arrived in a very special state."

Observing the strange surroundings, Lu Qing seemed to be deep in thought.
