I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 146

“The origins of this Li Huo Cauldron are so ancient.”

After receiving the inheritance, Lu Qing had a much deeper understanding of the great cauldron's history.

The Li Huo Cauldron originated from the Li Huo Sect, an immortal cultivation sect from tens of thousands of years ago. It was a sect-protecting spiritual artifact, painstakingly refined by pooling the entire sect's strength.

Later, due to a great upheaval, the spiritual energy in the world diminished, spiritual materials became extinct, and conflicts frequently erupted among various immortal sects vying for resources.

The Li Huo Cauldron was damaged in a fierce clash between the Li Huo Sect and another immortal sect's protecting artifact.

That battle was extremely brutal.

Not only was the Li Huo Cauldron damaged, causing the spiritual formations within to collapse and revert to its original form, but the Li Huo Sect itself was also obliterated, uprooted completely. Only a few disciples managed to escape.

The Li Huo Cauldron was taken by the sect leader's son, who fled and eventually hid in a secret cave abode built by the sect, barely surviving.

However, the sect leader's son also eventually succumbed to his severe injuries and passed away in that cave abode.

The Li Huo Cauldron remained in the cave for tens of thousands of years until it was discovered by Wei Shanhai and Wang Cangyi.

The inheritance within the cauldron was left by the Li Huo Sect's leader's son.

“Spiritual energy, immortal sects... I never thought that in this world, tens of thousands of years ago, there existed such a strange energy called spiritual energy, and the cultivation methods that thrived on it were the legendary immortal cultivation techniques.”

“Unfortunately, spiritual energy is now scarce. Even if I have obtained these immortal cultivation techniques, they are of no use.”

Lu Qing felt a bit regretful.

The Li Huo Sect's leader's son had left behind numerous immortal cultivation techniques within the Li Huo Cauldron, including the sect-protecting technique "Nanming Bright Fire Technique," which was reserved for the sect leader's lineage.

However, all these immortal techniques required the absorption and refinement of spiritual energy to enhance one's power.

In the current world, where spiritual energy was lacking, these immortal techniques, no matter how powerful, became useless.

The cost-effectiveness of cultivating these techniques paled in comparison to martial arts.

After all, martial arts, upon reaching the Precelestial realm, were not much weaker in power compared to immortal cultivators of the same realm.

Moreover, the elemental energy of the world, although not as mystical as spiritual energy, was abundant and omnipresent.

Therefore, despite acquiring the immortal techniques, Lu Qing had no intention of switching his cultivation focus.

“However, even if I cannot cultivate these immortal techniques, some of the minor methods in the inheritance are still very useful to me.”

For instance, some of the techniques for refining tools and alchemy in the inheritance were highly instructive for Lu Qing.

The Li Huo Sect, named after fire, evidently had profound research in the path of fire.

In fact, besides their powerful techniques, the Li Huo Sect was also extremely adept in tool refining and alchemy.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to refine a spiritual artifact as extraordinary as the Li Huo Cauldron.

Lu Qing, who was originally trained in medicine, found the alchemy techniques immensely enriching for his medical knowledge.

As for tool refining...

Earlier, in the battle with the burly man, his war blade had been damaged.

This forced him into a hand-to-hand combat situation.

This made Lu Qing realize the importance of having a good weapon.

If his war blade had been sturdy enough, defeating the burly man wouldn't have required so much effort.

Blade skills alone would have sufficed.

Now, with the tool refining techniques, he could attempt to forge a truly treasured blade of his own.

Moreover, some methods in the inheritance regarding the use of soul power were also very enlightening for him.

Perhaps he could even develop a technique specifically for cultivating soul power from these methods.

In the quietness, Lu Qing meticulously sorted through the inheritance he had just received, contemplating his cultivation path.

When he had almost finished organizing his thoughts, he was suddenly awakened by a strong fluctuation from outside.

He opened his eyes and saw that the source of the fluctuation was his master.

At this moment, his master displayed a strange phenomenon.

On the left side of his body, white mist rose, and water vapor filled the air. On the right side, red light radiated, filled with heat.

Between his hands, a red and white swirling vortex slowly rotated, intertwining and blending harmoniously, appearing extremely mystical.

The others who were comprehending techniques were also awakened by this commotion.

When they saw this scene, they all widened their eyes.

Especially Wei Shanhai, who was greatly astonished and couldn't help but exclaim, “Water and fire in harmony, how is this possible!”

Water and fire in harmony?

Lu Qing's heart stirred, and he immediately activated his ability to observe his master.

Amid the intense red light of the ability, several lines of text emerged from his master's body.

[Chen Songqing: Masterful in medicine, kind-hearted, respected, an excellent old physician.]

[Cultivation: Peak of Precelestial Initial Stage, true qi of water and fire attributes.]

[Possesses the power of merit, can avoid misfortune and attract blessings, highly fortunate.]

[Remarkable comprehension, has grasped a trace of the Precelestial Domain.]

[Comprehended the principle of water and fire in harmony, controls true qi of water and fire attributes, enhancing cultivation speed and power.]

“Master is truly a genius in cultivation.”

Reading the text emerging from his master, Lu Qing was amazed.

Originally, his master cultivated a water attribute Precelestial technique left by Li Weitian, and his true qi was also of the water attribute.

Unexpectedly, in this underground chamber, he comprehended the principle of water and fire in harmony and mastered another attribute of true qi.

Moreover, these two types of true qi not only didn't conflict but also complemented each other, greatly enhancing their power and even accelerating cultivation speed.

In the chamber, everyone lost their focus on cultivation, their eyes fixed on the old physician displaying the phenomenon.

Wei Xinghe, Mago, and the others vaguely sensed something from the phenomenon displayed by the old physician.

But when they tried to grasp that inspiration, it always slipped away.

Until the phenomenon on the old physician gradually faded and he opened his eyes, they still hadn't captured that inspiration.

“Why are you all staring at this old man?”

The old physician, upon opening his eyes and seeing everyone except Lu Qing staring at him intently, was startled, thinking something was wrong with him.

“Doctor Chen, what were you cultivating just now?”

Wei Shanhai couldn't wait to ask.

Being in the Precelestial realm himself, he was completely shocked by the water and fire aura on the old physician.

“Nothing much, just a moment of realization while comprehending the mystical essence on this cauldron, and integrating another technique I had previously comprehended.” The old physician smiled.

“I saw water and fire alternating on you just now. You can actually cultivate two completely opposing types of true qi simultaneously?”

Wei Shanhai was incredulous.

“It was just a fortunate moment of insight into the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.”

Wei Shanhai's eyes widened even more, losing all semblance of a Precelestial expert's demeanor.
