I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1164 - 720: Yan’s Ambition, A Storm is Brewing

Lu Qing had spent the entirety of the previous year contemplating the Dao, a process that had severely drained his mental energy.

While he hadn't noticed the toll during the intensity of his Cultivation, the sudden relaxation brought a wave of exhaustion to his heart and spirit.

Consequently, he decided to take a break for a few days to recover before attempting to cultivate the "Mistaken" divine skill.

"If Brother is going to cook, then Little Yan wants to eat fish~"

Little Yan’s eyes sparkled as she spoke in a sweet, coaxing tone.

"You want fish? Hmm, very well, we shall go fishing in a bit."

Lu Qing agreed to her request without a second thought.

As it happened, fishing served as an excellent method for him to soothe his mind and spirit.

"Are we catching Spirit Fish? Hooray!"

Little Li was so thrilled by the prospect of fishing that his ears twitched with joy.

Even Han Lingshuang found herself subconsciously swallowing; she vividly recalled the Spirit Fish banquet Lu Qing had prepared previously, which remained the most delectable meal she had ever consumed.

That exquisite flavor was something she still frequently reminisced about.

"Since everyone has a craving for fish, let’s head to the riverbank immediately."

Without delay, Lu Qing led the group toward the water's edge.

The local villagers noticed Lu Qing carrying his fishing tackle while Little Li hauled a wooden bucket, and they instantly realized the group was heading out to fish again.

Watching this scene, the younger villagers mused to themselves.

They recalled the village elders mentioning how much Immortal Master Lu enjoyed fishing, and they realized those stories were entirely accurate.

After a pleasant afternoon by the river, Lu Qing and the others returned with a heavy haul, having secured a large number of Spirit Fish.

Lu Qing cooked a Spirit Fish feast for the group, leaving everyone in high spirits.

Following dinner, Lu Qing retreated to his meditation room, feeling momentarily restless.

He had intended to rest for several days to allow his spirit to fully mend before beginning his work on the "Mistaken" divine skill.

However, being so used to nightly Cultivation, the sudden idleness left him feeling rather bored.

As he pondered, a thought struck him, and he casually summoned the Leaving Fire Tripod.

"Yan, I intend to refine some Elixirs and I may require your assistance."

"Yes, master!"

The spirit "Yan" within the Leaving Fire Tripod was caught off guard at first, unsure why Lu Qing had called upon it so suddenly.

Upon hearing that he wished to perform alchemy, it became instantly enthusiastic.

A significant amount of time had passed since it last participated in pill refining.

Furthermore, as Lu Qing’s Cultivation reached increasingly unfathomable heights, "Yan" feared that the utility of the Leaving Fire Tripod was beginning to fade.

This was especially true after Lu Qing mastered his divine skills and manifested the True Witch Body; the mere natural force field of his physical form was capable of warping and collapsing the surrounding space.

This display had left "Yan" completely stunned.

It had never imagined that the physical body of a practitioner could reach such terrifying levels of power.

It even questioned if Lu Qing’s own body had become more durable than the Leaving Fire Tripod itself.

Because of this, "Yan" harbored a quiet sense of dread.

As Lu Qing's power continued its upward trajectory, it feared the day the Leaving Fire Tripod would no longer be of any use to him.

Thus, "Yan's" excitement at being asked to help with alchemy was palpable.

This was a chance to prove its continued worth.

"Master, which Elixirs do you intend to create?" Yan inquired.

"My plan is to start by refining the Ice Spiritual Medicine we gathered in Ice Soul Valley into Spirit Pills for Little Yan and Lord Han.

After that, we shall see if we can transform the Pure Lotus and the Five-colored Treasure Lotus into pills as well."

Since both Little Yan and Han Lingshuang practiced Cold Ice System Techniques, the Ice Spiritual Medicines collected by Lu Qing and Little Li in the Ice Soul Valley were perfect for them.

Leaving them sitting in a storage ring was pointless; it was far better to process them into elixirs for the girls to consume.

As for the Pure Lotus and the Five-colored Treasure Lotus, Lu Qing had originally meant to use them for his own benefit.

However, his path of Cultivation had turned out to be quite unique, and these Spiritual Medicines meant for boosting talent were no longer very effective for him.

While the immense medicinal energy of such top-grade Spiritual Medicines could still push his Cultivation forward,

doing so felt like a waste of their potential.

If Lu Qing simply wanted to increase his power, his hoard of Spirit Stones was more than enough.

Refining these two legendary Spiritual Medicines into pills would maximize their utility.

The Pure Lotus, in particular, possessed the rare ability to purify a Golden Core and raise its rank.

For individuals like Hu Zezhi and Han Lingshuang, who were currently at the Mid-grade Golden Core stage, this represented a genuine hope of one day attaining the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"I understand. The Li Huo Sect possesses several pill recipes for Ice Element elixirs that can either boost Cultivation or refine one's talent."

As the most vital Sect Spirit Artifact of the Li Huo Sect, the Leaving Fire Tripod had been utilized to forge countless Spirit Pills and Magical Treasures over the ages.

As the Artifact Spirit, it was essentially a grandmaster in the arts of alchemy and forging.

It possessed deep knowledge of all the Li Huo Sect’s secret refining techniques.

"If those aren't quite right, I have a vast collection of pill recipes you can utilize."

"Master possesses many pill recipes?"

"Yan’s" eyes gleamed with interest.

"Indeed. Not just recipes for pills, but various methods for forging artifacts. Would you like to see them?"

Lu Qing had claimed numerous secret techniques, Magical Treasures, and refining methods from the powerful Golden Core and Primordial Spirit Realm experts he had bested.

This included the specific refining process for top-tier spiritual items like the Pure Lotus.

It was this knowledge that prompted him to consider refining the two high-grade Spiritual Medicines.

Upon hearing Lu Qing’s offer, a realization dawned on "Yan," filling it with excitement.

"Uh, Master, may I make a request?"

"Yan" asked with a hint of nervousness.

"What is it?"

"If it is possible, would you be willing to teach me those techniques for refining Elixirs and Magical Treasures?"

"Of course. When I find a moment, I will compile those Jade Scrolls for you to use as you wish."

Lu Qing gave his consent without any reluctance.

"My deepest thanks, master!"

"Yan" was thrilled and immediately bowed in gratitude.

Lu Qing smiled softly.

He had already committed all those refining methods to memory.

Since "Yan" was eager to learn, there was no harm in sharing them. It spent most of its time idle inside the tripod anyway; it might as well have a project to focus on.

"Then master, let us begin the refining!"

With Lu Qing’s blessing, "Yan’s" motivation reached a new peak.

It immediately set to work refining the Elixirs according to Lu Qing’s directions.

While Lu Qing and "Yan" collaborated on their alchemy,

far away across the starry expanse, within the Heavenly Sword Sect—the holy land for all Sword Cultivators—the atmosphere was solemn.

On the peak of the tallest, sword-shaped mountain,

a youth dressed in white stood at the head of dozens of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators. Each of them stood perfectly straight, their Sword Intent radiating outward as they saluted a gray-robed elder standing with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Sword Master, the disciples are assembled and prepared to depart at your word."

"Mm."

The elder turned around, his eyes sweeping over the gathered disciples.

Under the weight of the Sword Master’s gaze, the Primordial Spirit Realm disciples stood even taller.

As the leader of the Sky-breaking Sword Sect, the Sword Master was a figure as rare and elusive as a divine dragon; opportunities to stand in his presence were few and far between.

Naturally, they all wished to demonstrate their best selves.

"Good. Very good."

Seeing the sharp spirit of the disciples, the gray-robed elder nodded with approval.

"You are all aware of the objective for this mission, are you not?"

"We understand!" the disciples shouted in unison.

"Since you know your duty, I shall not linger on it. The Returning Ruins Secret Realm is on the verge of opening; your goal is to claim the treasures within. While these opportunities are vital, your survival is paramount. Ensure you follow the lead of your Senior Brother."

"Yes, Sword Master!"

"Very well, you are dismissed. You have three days for final preparations before you set out. The journey to the Returning Ruins Secret Realm is long, so do not delay."

"We obey!"

Once the other disciples had left, the young man in white remained behind.

"Is there further news?" the elder asked.

"Sword Master, regarding the youth you asked me to track—the one wielding Sky-breaking Sword Qi in the Heavenly Origin Great World—my scouts have returned with their report."

The youth in white spoke with deep respect.

"Oh? Let me hear it."

The gray-robed elder’s eyebrow twitched slightly, though his voice remained perfectly composed.
