Chapter 213: Return, aftermath

Chapter 213 Return, aftermath

 “Old doctor, what was that just now?”

Wei Shanhai looked at Old Doctor Chen in shock.

The two of them were sitting under the plum tree drinking tea, but they were shocked by the sudden fluctuations in the sky and the earth.

Wei Shanhai didn't know why, so he could only ask his old doctor.

He knew that the old doctor's realm was much higher than his, and he should be able to see some truth.

The old doctor looked calm, and after taking a closer look, he sighed.

 “I’m afraid the legendary changes in heaven and earth are about to begin.”

“You said that the great changes in heaven and earth mentioned by Tianji Tower are about to begin?!” Wei Shanhai was shocked.

"I'm afraid that's the case. The fluctuations just now were caused by heaven and earth, and I can vaguely sense that there have been some subtle changes between heaven and earth, but these changes are not obvious and difficult to detect." The old doctor nodded.

At this time, Xiaoyan hugged Xiaoli, rubbed her eyes, and walked out of the house sleepily.

With the cultivation and knowledge of these two people, Xiaoyan is better than ordinary children, which is normal.

"I don't know either." The old doctor shook his head, "But since the heaven and earth have shown signs, it obviously won't take long before we can see what the changes are."

“So where is this change in heaven and earth?” Wei Shanhai was still a little confused.

 But the old doctor knew something inside.

 Actually, the old doctor still knows a little bit.

 Think about it, Lu Qing is a genius that is rare to see in a thousand years, a son of luck.

In the past, he only thought that Xiaoyan was smart, very cute and smart, and much more well-behaved and clever than ordinary children.

Even though she has no cultivation, she can "listen" to the sounds of changes in the rules of heaven and earth. It is obvious that Xiaoyan must have some special talent.

“Xiaoyan, can you hear the sound just now?”

How could Xiaoyan, who was born from the same mother and whose blood is thicker than water, be ordinary?

“Yes, it’s so loud, how could you not hear it? Grandpa Wei, whose family is demolishing the house?” Xiaoyan said confusedly.

"If the world is really going to change, it seems that troubled times are really coming."

 But thinking that she is Lu Qing's sister, and she is very favored by the old doctor.

 Obviously, Xiaoyan should have gained some kind of special ability after taking the earth vein spirit liquid, which allowed her to "listen" to the sounds of the previous heaven and earth.

 In fact, he felt something else in the sound of heaven and earth just now.

He knew that Lu Qing had once given Xiaoyan some Earthly Vein Spiritual Liquid, and he had personally experienced the magic of that spiritual liquid.

Now it seems that things are far from that simple.

 But her words shocked both the old doctor and Wei Shanhai.

If the speculation in the essay that Lu Qing showed him was correct.

Wei Shanhai asked impatiently.

 It’s just that it’s hard to say clearly here.

Logically speaking, there should be martial arts masters who have tempered the power of the soul, and those who are strong in the Xiantian realm, who can feel the vast sound.

 The previous sounds of heaven and earth were fluctuations manifested by the changes in the rules of heaven and earth. They were not ordinary sounds and were difficult to hear with the naked ear.

It turned out that she and Xiaoli were taking a nap in the house just now, and then they were suddenly woken up.

But Xiaoyan, a child, could hear it even in her sleep. How could Wei Shanhai not be surprised?

 The old doctor knew why he was so surprised.

Wei Shanhai sighed.

 I’m afraid that the so-called spiritual energy recovery is about to really begin.

“Grandpa Chen, what happened just now? It seems so noisy outside.”

Then Wei Shanhai opened his mouth slightly and looked at Xiaoyan in disbelief.

 At this time, Wei Shanhai also reacted.

Not only can it greatly improve a person's qualifications, but if you are lucky, it can even inspire some special talents.

 The old doctor also fell into silence.

The look she looked at Xiaoyan was full of strangeness, as if she were looking at a rare treasure.

The more Wei Shanhai looked at Xiaoyan, the more he liked her, and then he turned around and asked.

 But that is just a guess from an ancient book. Before it is confirmed, the old doctor cannot be sure whether it is really the case.

“Old doctor, it seems that Xiaoyan’s talent is also very extraordinary.”

“Old doctor, Xiaoyan is now over seven years old. I wonder why she didn’t become a disciple of yours and practice martial arts?”

 It's just that she is still young and has not yet shown her talent.

The more Wei Shanhai thought about it, the more he felt it was right, and the look he looked at Xiaoyan naturally became more and more enthusiastic.

As soon as the old doctor saw it, he knew that he had something on his mind.

 He recalled what Lu Qing had said before and shook his head.

"Ah Qing once said that Xiaoyan's path of cultivation is quite special and it is not advisable to rush it. He will have to wait until the time is right and then arrange it himself, so it is not easy for me to interfere."

In the past two years, the old doctor has also asked Lu Qing whether he wants Xiaoyan to practice martial arts.

 But Lu Qing has always said that the time has not come yet, so until now, Xiaoyan has not started to practice formally.

“It turns out that Lu Xiaolangjun had already made arrangements.”

When Wei Shanhai heard this, he knew that there was no chance of accepting Xiaoyan as his disciple.

 In his heart, Lu Qing was much more mysterious than the old doctor.

Since he had already made arrangements, it was obviously impossible for Xiaoyan to become a disciple at will.

“Grandpa Chen, why hasn’t my brother come back yet? How long will he stay in the mountains? Xiaoyan misses him.”

Hearing the old doctor and the others mention Lu Qing, Xiaoyan flattened her mouth and said a little aggrievedly.

 She has not seen her brother for many days.

“Yes, old doctor, why did Lu Xiaolangjun stay in seclusion for so long this time?” Wei Shanhai also asked.

After Lu Qing had a discussion with him before, he said he had some insights and went into seclusion. It has been seven days now.

 In the past, Lu Qing rarely stayed in seclusion for so long. Is it possible that he wanted to directly break through to the innate realm?

Thinking of this, Wei Shanhai was shocked.

 If this is the case, it is really a big deal.

How old is Lu Qing now? If he really stepped into the Xiantian realm and spread the news, he would probably cause a sensation in the world and even the four secret places.

“I don’t know either. Ah Qing only said that he was in seclusion for a while, but he didn’t say how long it would take.”

 The old doctor is also a little strange.

He knew that Lu Qing should have gone into retreat deep in the mountains, that mysterious place that he and Xiao Li had discovered together, which could produce earth-vein spiritual liquid.

 But because of Xiaoyan, he rarely stayed in seclusion for so long.

 This time, it is indeed a bit abnormal. Unfortunately, he has never been to that magical place.

Xiao Li is very attached to Xiao Yan. Except for Lu Qing and Xiao Yan, no one else can command it, not even him.

 Otherwise, you can go and have a look.

Whoosh!

 Just when the old doctor and the others were thinking about Lu Qing.

Xiao Li, who was originally being held by Xiao Yan, suddenly jumped out of Xiao Yan's arms and jumped out.

The old doctor and the others were stunned for a moment, then realized what they were doing and quickly looked outside.

Then they saw a figure standing there at the entrance of the courtyard. Xiao Li was standing on his shoulders, rubbing his head against him. Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Qing?

"elder brother!"

When Xiaoyan saw Lu Qing, she immediately opened her arms and ran forward. Before she could reach him, she started to jump and rush toward Lu Qing.

Afraid of falling, Lu Qing could only reach out to catch her.

 Seeing the little guy bury her head in his arms, as if she was about to cry, he rubbed her hair lovingly.

“I’m sorry, it’s my brother’s fault this time. I have been in seclusion for so long and made Xiaoyan wait for a long time.”

 Fortunately, Xiaoyan's mood came and went quickly, so she was easy to coax.

Soon, with Lu Qing’s comfort, they started laughing again.

 After comforting Xiaoyan, Lu Qing put her down and came to the old doctor and the two men.

First he said hello to Wei Shanhai, and then said to the old doctor: "Master, I'm back."

 “Well, just come back.”

 The old doctor nodded and did not ask Lu Qing why the retreat lasted longer than before.

 On the other hand, Wei Shanhai could not suppress his curiosity.

“Lu Xiaolangjun, have you entered the innate realm this time in retreat?”

 Wei Shanhai's eyes were full of expectation.

 Although he could not feel the innate connotation unique to the innate realm from Lu Qing.

 But a long time ago, he had completely failed to see through Lu Qing's reality.

 So even if Lu Qing had a secret method that could conceal his own innate meaning, he would not be surprised at all.

"Never." Lu Qing shook his head, "Although this retreat has yielded some gains, it has only strengthened the foundation, and it has not yet entered the innate realm."

"That's it." When Wei Shanhai heard this, although he was a little disappointed, he still consoled him, "Lu Xiaolangjun, don't be discouraged. Although the innate realm is mysterious, with your qualifications, it is only a matter of time before you step into that realm. I think as long as you settle in a little more, it will come naturally and you will have a natural breakthrough.”

 “Thank you, Senior Wei, for your guidance.” Lu Qing saluted and thanked him.

“Master, have you had lunch?”

 After chatting for a while, Lu Qing asked.

  “Not yet.”

“That’s just right. I’ve been in seclusion for the past few days and I’m feeling a little hungry. Now I’m going to make some side dishes to fill my stomach.”

Lu Qing also didn’t expect that it would take him so long to refine the Earth Spirit Pearl without even realizing it.

If it weren't for his profound cultivation and strong qi and blood, his body might have been unable to bear it long ago.

 “Well, let’s go.” The old doctor naturally had no objection.

“Senior Wei, please stay and have dinner together.” Lu Qing invited.

“Then I’m not polite.” Wei Shanhai smiled and said, “The food you cook, Mr. Lu Xiaolang, has a unique flavor. Even Ningyan and Zian always miss it. Today, I can count myself as having a good meal.”

In the past two years, Wei Shanhai has tasted Lu Qing's cooking several times.

Not to mention, it was indeed different, which surprised even a person like him who was not too obsessed with food and drink.

Now that he heard that Lu Qing was going to cook again, he was really looking forward to it.

"It's just commonplace food. Mrs. Wei and the others are too praised."

Lu Qing entered the kitchen and spent half an hour cooking some food.

　　It has been many days since they have eaten the food cooked by Lu Qing, so Xiaoyan and Xiaoli both ate very happily.

 Old doctor and Wei Shanhai naturally ate quite comfortably.

At the dinner table, Lu Qing also began to inquire about the affairs of the capital city without leaving any trace.

He did not expect that six or seven days would pass in a flash while he was refining the earth spirit beads in the jade cave.

I don't know the situation in the state of the state government. Since he left, he has developed into it, and he can only explore Wei Shanhai.

 Don’t tell me, Wei Shanhai really knows.

 After all, many of the Wei family's properties had been transferred to the state capital a few years ago.

 So the news over there is still very well-informed.

Lu Qing caused such a big incident in the capital city, even killing someone in the Xiantian realm. It is impossible to cover up such a big thing.

 The day after the incident occurred, the Wei family's spies in the capital city of Zhouzhou conveyed the news back.

In the days that followed, the Wei family kept paying attention to what was going on in the capital city.

“Mr. Lu Xiaolang, you don’t know, but it turns out that the old woman of the Zheng family had secretly performed human sacrifices many years ago when her eldest son died.

On that day, the city lord of the capital city invited the leaders of the major forces in the city to open the tomb for inspection, and found dozens of clay figures left behind after the evil ritual was performed. It is conceivable that what happened to the old woman of the Zheng family? How insane!

It is no wonder that she would attract the mysterious strong man to kill her in anger.

To be honest, if I knew about this, I would probably not be able to help but teach the old woman a lesson.

That mysterious strong man was decisive in killing. Not only did he kill the old woman, he also destroyed the tombs and coffins of her son and grandson who were the most important to her. He also killed the second son with one arrow. It was really satisfying! "

Wei Shanhai sighed after telling Lu Qing what happened that day in Prefecture City.

“This is happening. Does anyone know who the mysterious powerful man is?” Lu Qing asked with a surprised look on his face.

 The old doctor had obviously heard about these things, but he did not show any surprise.

“This is the strangest thing. The mysterious and powerful man seems to have appeared suddenly. No one can find out his origin. However, his strength is extremely astonishing.

It is said that when he killed the old woman of the Zheng family, it only took him a dozen breaths.

You must know that although the old woman of the Zheng family did not live long, she was still a strong person at the peak of the first level of Xiantian. She was killed before she could last even ten breaths.

It is conceivable that the mysterious strong man is so powerful. Many people speculate that he is probably a terrifying strong man with an innate ability or above. "

 Lu Qing:…

 The rumors were indeed becoming more and more exaggerated. How could he not know that he was already an innately strong person?

“…Then what will happen if the Zheng family encounters such a catastrophe?” After a moment of silence, Lu Qing asked.

“What else can we do? Although the place in Prefecture City is prosperous, every inch of land is very expensive. Every piece of land has countless people caring about it.

The Zheng family has lost its most important support in the innate realm, even the head of the family has died, and they have committed such taboos as holding human sacrifices in private, so the outcome is doomed.

In the past few days, all members of the direct line of the Zheng family were captured by the city lord and imprisoned, awaiting trial. The remaining members of the branch family also had their property confiscated and were expelled from the city. They were not allowed to step foot inside the city for three generations. , those who disobey orders will be killed.

 It can be said that the Zheng family is gone and has completely disappeared. "
