I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 119

"Breaking through again, reaching the pinnacle of the Tendons and Bones Realm."

Standing in the courtyard, Lu Qing quietly sensed the state of his body.

Indeed, he had just successfully broken through to the pinnacle of the Tendons and Bones Realm.

The opportunity gained from witnessing the breakthrough to the Precelestial Realm was truly significant.

Just yesterday, he had broken through to the early stage of the Tendons and Bones Realm. Using the energy mist absorbed during his master’s breakthrough, he managed to break through again in less than a day, stepping into the pinnacle of the Tendons and Bones Realm.

If other martial artists knew about his cultivation speed, they would be astonished.

Moreover, Lu Qing felt that the vital energy formed from the white mist had not been completely exhausted and was still nourishing his body in a deeper layer.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he reached the perfect stage of the Tendons and Bones Realm.

"Ah Qing, what was that?"

Lu Qing turned to see Grandpa Zhang and several villagers looking at him in shock.

It was clear they had been frightened by the crackling of his bones and the vibration of his energy.

"Oh, it's nothing. Just a small breakthrough in martial arts this afternoon," Lu Qing replied.

In fact, while practicing, he could sense the outside situation and knew about Grandpa Zhang and the others' movements. Since they didn't disturb him, he didn't mind.

However, seeing their worried faces, Lu Qing decided it was better to practice in the bamboo forest behind the mountain from now on.

This time, he was training in the courtyard because Xiao Yan and Xiao Li were asleep and he didn't want to go far.

"Is that so? That's good then."

Grandpa Zhang and the others sighed in relief after hearing Lu Qing's explanation. They didn't understand cultivation but knew it was a good thing from Lu Qing's words and felt happy for him.

After knowing Lu Qing was okay, they gradually dispersed.

Lu Qing returned to the courtyard and found that Xiao Yan and Xiao Li were still asleep, so he didn't disturb them and made dinner for himself.

The next morning, the two little ones finally woke up, both shouting that they were hungry.

Lu Qing brought out the breakfast he had already prepared, and they started eating heartily.

While the little ones were eating, Lu Qing used his ability to check their condition.

First was Xiao Yan.

In the rich red light, a streak of golden energy suddenly shone before Lu Qing's eyes.

[Lu Xiaoyan: A human cub, female.]

[A lucky little one, after consuming the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, seems to have accidentally awakened a special talent.]

[Ice Muscle and Jade Bone: Pure constitution, free of impurities, naturally suited for cultivation, especially effective with water and cold attribute techniques.]

[Due to absorbing the life-filled energy mist during the Precelestial breakthrough, her body now has a hint of the Precelestial Dao physique.]

Gasp!

Lu Qing was first shocked by the streak of gold in Xiao Yan's energy light.

Then, seeing the final note, he gasped again.

Precelestial Dao Physique?!!

This was a highly revered mystical physique in the Divine Rune Sect’s heritage.

It was said that those with such a physique were truly blessed by heaven, geniuses among geniuses.

No matter what they cultivated, it would be incredibly fast with almost no bottlenecks.

For example, the cultivation of runes was extremely difficult; without true talent, it was impossible to even get started.

But for a true Precelestial Dao Physique, rune cultivation would become as simple as eating and drinking.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan had a trace of the Precelestial Dao Physique. Even though it was just a trace, it indicated her incredible talent.

If the Divine Rune Sect still existed, they would fight to bring Xiao Yan into their fold due to their reverence for the Precelestial Dao Physique.

After examining Xiao Yan's changes, Lu Qing turned his attention to Xiao Li.

Once again, in the rich red light, a faint golden energy appeared.

[Black Night Spirit Lynx: A mountain spirit beast, juvenile, female.]

[Extremely fast, with sharp claws capable of breaking stones and cutting metal.]

[Has the innate ability to distort light and blend into the darkness.]

[Legend says Black Night Spirit Lynxes love fish but hate water, always yearning for fish they can't reach.]

[After absorbing the life-filled energy mist during the Precelestial breakthrough, it shows signs of evolving into a Precelestial Spirit Beast.]

The golden energy in Xiao Li was even more intense than Xiao Yan's.

Likewise, it had an extra note.

“Precelestial Spirit Beast? What’s that?”

However, Lu Qing didn't understand this term.

The Divine Rune Sect's heritage had no records of Precelestial Spirit Beasts.

But judging by Xiao Yan's situation, it seemed like an extraordinary creature.

He didn’t expect the two little ones to gain so much benefit after sleeping overnight.

Compared to them, his hard-earned breakthrough to the pinnacle of the Tendons and Bones Realm seemed ordinary.

"Brother, what's wrong? Is there rice on Xiao Yan's face?"

Seeing Lu Qing staring at her blankly, Xiao Yan touched her face and asked.

"No, brother was just thinking. Keep eating," Lu Qing smiled, coming back to his senses.

He also secretly resolved that the better the little ones' talents, the more he should train them, not waste such a good opportunity.

"Okay." Xiao Yan continued eating after hearing that there was nothing wrong.

At this moment, Lu Qing felt his pants being tugged. Looking down, he saw Xiao Li sitting in front of him.

"What's wrong, Xiao Li?" Lu Qing asked.

Xiao Li pointed to her empty food bowl with her paw.

"Already finished?"

Lu Qing was surprised.

He had given her the usual amount of fish, which usually lasted a while.

Did her appetite increase after absorbing the energy mist?

"Xiao Li, are you still hungry?"

"Ow~" Xiao Li nodded.

"I'll get more."

It seemed her appetite really did grow.

Lu Qing went to the kitchen, only to find that the fish in the tank were nearly gone, with only a few left.

Because he had been focused on cultivation and anticipating his master's breakthrough, he hadn't gone fishing.

As a result, the household supply was almost depleted.

Lu Qing scooped up the remaining fish and brought them to Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, these are all that's left. Is it enough?"

Xiao Li looked at the fish, then at Lu Qing, her eyes welling up.

"Stop, stop! I get it. I'll go fishing for you later, so don't cry!"

Seeing her expression, Lu Qing immediately shouted.

The tears in Xiao Li's eyes gradually disappeared.

"Brother, are Xiao Li's fish all gone?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Yes, brother hasn't had time to fish, so we're out of fish."

Hearing this, tears welled up in Xiao Li's eyes again.

"Xiao Li, be good. We can go fishing with brother later. Then you'll get fresh fish."

Xiao Yan comforted her, stroking her back.

Xiao Li looked up at Lu Qing after hearing this.

Lu Qing nodded, "Sure, we can go fishing together."

With Xiao Li’s invisibility talent, there was no worry about being seen. She had joined them fishing before.

Seeing Lu Qing agree, the little black beast cheered up, her tail standing tall.

She loved going fishing with Lu Qing.

To her, it was magical and impressive how Lu Qing could use a bamboo rod to catch the fish she could only see but not catch.

Knowing they could go out soon, Xiao Yan finished eating quickly.

"Hurrah! Brother, I'm full, let's go fishing!"

"Wait a moment, let me wash the dishes first."

Lu Qing shook his head, cleaned up the dishes, and put them away.

Then he grabbed the fishing tools.

Fishing rod, basket, net, bait...

When everything was ready, the little ones were already waiting obediently.

Xiao Yan even had a small basket on her back.

Lu Qing had asked a village elder skilled in bamboo weaving to make it. Since Xiao Yan often followed him around, she needed her own basket for her little trinkets and toys.

"Brother, let me carry some."

Xiao Yan took the bait bucket, hung it around her neck, and shouldered the net, pointing forward bravely, "Let's go!"

She rushed out first.

Lu Qing locked the door and followed her.

Xiao Li went invisible and jumped into Xiao Yan's basket.

With Xiao Yan's current physical fitness, the weight was no problem for her.

In the village, Xiao Yan ran ahead, and Lu Qing followed leisurely.

Seeing them, the villagers understood immediately.

"Ah Qing, going fishing again?" a villager asked.

"Yes, just fishing for fun," Lu Qing nodded.

"I don't understand why you love fishing so much. Don't you get tired of eating so much fish?" the villager wondered.

They often saw Lu Qing fishing and bringing back a lot.

They couldn't imagine eating fish every day.

"I just like it. Besides, I love eating fish, and master also loves fried fish with his wine," Lu Qing smiled.

He couldn’t say there was a fish-loving eater at home.

"Fried fish? That must be delicious. No wonder the old doctor loves it!"

The villagers' eyes widened.

They could only imagine how delicious fried fish would be.

But oil wasn't cheap, so they wouldn't dare use it just for fish.

"It's quite good. You should try it sometime."

"Sure, if there's a chance."

After chatting with the villagers, Lu Qing and Xiao Yan left for the river outside the village.

He headed to the special fishing spot.

It was his habit.

Every time

he fished, he would try this spot first, hoping to catch another special fish.

After catching two golden loaches, he hadn't caught any more special fish.

Initially, he thought the river outside the village had more special fish than expected.

Now he realized it was because he was in the new world protection period and could easily catch special fish.

After the protection period ended, he hadn't even caught a scale.

He had tried other river sections, hoping to find another special fishing spot.

But after exploring ten miles up and down the river, he found no more special fish spots.

There were basic spots, but none for special fish.

Lu Qing concluded that the only special fishing spot was near the Blood Apricot Trees on the riverbank.

The Blood Apricot Trees attracted special fish.

He had once picked Blood Apricots for his master, but his master didn’t recognize the fruit. After testing its properties, he deemed it a good medicinal material.

However, he couldn't explain why it attracted special fish.

Sitting at the fishing spot, Lu Qing skillfully baited his hook with two Blood Apricots and cast it into the water.

Over time, he had upgraded his fishing gear.

The fishing line was still silkworm thread, but the rod and hook were replaced.

The hooks were custom-made by a blacksmith in the city, costing him a lot.

Ten hooks cost him ten taels of silver, one tael per hook.

Each hook was more valuable than its weight in gold.

The blacksmith's reaction was also one of surprise.

He couldn't believe Lu Qing had such an expensive hobby, spending so much on hooks.

But Lu Qing didn’t care.

He wasn’t short on money, thanks to the silver from Happy Fort and his master’s wealth.

Spending a little silver on hooks didn’t bother him.

Besides, you get what you pay for. The hooks’ quality was indeed excellent.

They were almost as sturdy as his battle knife and could be used as weapons.

With the hook in the water, Lu Qing patiently waited.

Xiao Li appeared beside him, watching the float intently.

Xiao Yan, knowing her brother and Xiao Li would be absorbed in fishing, played with her toys.

Watching Xiao Li, Lu Qing found it amusing.

The little one had the potential to be a fishing expert. If her paws could hold things, he would make her a small rod.

After a while, the float didn’t move.

Lu Qing was used to it.

He even suspected the river had no more special fish.

He kept coming out of habit and a faint hope of catching one more.

As time passed and the float remained still, Lu Qing prepared to switch spots for regular fish.

The spot had been fished out and needed time to recover.

Just as he reached for the rod, the float suddenly trembled and then plunged underwater.

"Gotcha!"

Lu Qing grabbed the rod.

At the same time, Xiao Li’s eyes widened in excitement.
