I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 339
Chapter 339
"Finally, all of it is refined."
At the Halfway House, Lu Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead as he looked at the numerous formation pillars before him, a smile appearing on his face.
Even with the strength of his soul power, after several consecutive days of refining the formation materials, he still felt mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, through this high-intensity continuous refining, he also felt that his mind had been honed significantly.
His mastery of soul power had become much more refined, which was a rewarding outcome.
With a wave of his hand, the formation pillars on the ground flew up, transforming into streaks of light.
Most of the pillars fell towards Jiuli Village below, while the rest surrounded the small mountain where the Halfway House stood, embedding themselves into the earth.
Seventy-two formation pillars sank into the ground, resonating with the thirty-six previously placed, forming formation nodes that linked their energies together.
Instantly, an unusual phenomenon occurred in Jiuli Village.
A faint glow of the formation lit up at the village's edge before slowly fading and merging into the ground.
Then, wisps of thin mist began to drift through the village.
The mist gave the village an ethereal feel.
Having experienced something similar last time, the villagers were not frightened this time, knowing that Lu Qing was likely up to something again.
Of course, they were still curious.
One villager, seeing a wisp of mist drift by, reached out to grab it out of curiosity.
The white mist turned into a trace of moisture, landing in the villager’s hand.
The next moment, the villager felt a cool sensation spread through him, calming his mind and refreshing his body. Even his fatigue seemed to dissipate, making him feel incredibly light.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Young Master Lu, is there something special about this mist?"
Up on the mountain, where the mist also swirled, Wei Shanhai, noticing the phenomenon, grabbed a wisp of mist, his eyes filled with amazement.
From the mist, he sensed something extraordinary.
"Senior Wei, your insight is sharp. This mist contains the essence of life, which is beneficial to the body. If one stays within the formation for an extended period, they will be nourished by the mist, which can strengthen the body, alleviate illness, and prolong life," Lu Qing explained with a smile.
"This is remarkable!"
Wei Shanhai looked at the mist in his hand, indeed sensing a faint life force within it.
Though subtle, one could imagine that if nourished by this life-giving mist over time, it would be highly beneficial to the human body.
Looking down at the mist drifting through Jiuli Village and the curious villagers reaching out to touch it, Wei Shanhai's gaze became complicated.
These villagers probably had no idea just how fortunate they were.
Setting aside everything else, just the life-giving mist alone was something even the nobility in the capital would find hard to come by.
He was certain that if the effects of this mist became known, countless people would scramble to come here.
"Young Master Lu, did you set up this formation to improve the health of the villagers?" Wei Shanhai asked.
"Of course not. The life-giving mist is just a byproduct of the formation. As for its other functions, the formation is still new, and its power hasn’t fully accumulated, so I can’t demonstrate them for you just yet," Lu Qing explained.
He had expended a great deal of effort setting up this formation, and it was certainly not just for the purpose of generating a bit of life-giving mist.
As a simplified version of the Li Huo Sect's protective grand formation, if it had only this one function, it would be laughable.
"The ways of immortals are truly wondrous."
Hearing Lu Qing's words, Wei Shanhai wasn’t offended but rather filled with admiration.
At the same time, his desire for the path of immortality grew stronger.
Unfortunately, despite spending the past few days studying the cultivation technique Lu Qing had given him, he had only just begun to grasp its concepts.
It would still take quite some time before he could truly enter the path of cultivation.
Seeing the villagers’ joyful expressions below, Lu Qing felt a sense of relief.
Now that the formation was complete, it would be impossible for any cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage to sneak into the village without his detection.
As for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, not to mention that there were very few such experts in the world, even if one did come to Jiuli Village, they would hardly lower themselves to engage in sneaky actions.
With this, the village’s safety was finally assured.
Letting the villagers enjoy their newfound happiness, Lu Qing stood up and walked to the medicine field behind the Halfway House.
The formation he had set up this time also included the Halfway House within its perimeter.
As a result, the earth energy here had grown much denser than usual.
This was especially true around the medicine field.
The earth energy had become so thick that the thousand-year-old ginseng growing there was nearly rolling in delight.
Even when it saw Lu Qing approaching, it didn’t hide underground. Instead, it shook its leaves in greeting.
Usually, the thousand-year-old ginseng gave Lu Qing a cold shoulder, always remembering the time when he had caught it.
To the ginseng, Lu Qing was both fearsome and loathsome.
Surprised by the ginseng’s friendly gesture, Lu Qing smiled, though he didn’t have time to tease the little thing today.
He pulled out several translucent jade tablets engraved with mysterious runes from his Qi Bag.
These were crafted from a portion of the jade stones that Chief Steward Wei had delivered, which Lu Qing had refined during his free time while making the formation pillars.
After taking some measurements around the medicine field, he selected the appropriate nodes and placed the jade tablets one by one.
When the last tablet was set in place, everyone felt a subtle tremor in the surrounding space.
Immediately afterward, the already dense earth energy on the mountain began to gather slowly towards the medicine field.
Even the spiritual energy in the surrounding air was drawn in, merging with the field.
"Young Master, did you refine these Spirit-Converging Tablets to cultivate a spirit field?"
Sensing this scene, Yan transmitted his voice to Lu Qing.
Over the past few days, as Yan absorbed the Heaven’s Meteorite Iron provided by Lu Qing, its true spirit had significantly recovered.
Even while assisting Lu Qing in refining the formation pillars, it remained unfazed.
"Yes. Although spiritual energy is reviving, it will take years, perhaps even centuries, for many of the natural treasures to grow. So, I thought it would be better to cultivate some spiritual materials myself and gain an early advantage," Lu Qing replied.

"That’s a brilliant idea."
Yan praised, "The revival of spiritual energy takes time before it can nurture powerful heavenly treasures. In fact, many of the top immortal sects of ancient times also seized an early advantage when spiritual energy first began to revive. By securing vast resources early on, they eventually grew into powerful sects."
"Planning ahead ensures that when the true opportunities arise, you’ll have enough strength to seize them."
"I’m not really interested in building a sect," Lu Qing shook his head. "But I’ve made more than a few enemies, so I still need to be prepared."
Lu Qing spoke truthfully. He had no interest in founding a sect.
Managing a sect would take a great deal of mental energy, which he would rather use to focus on his cultivation.
Yan remained silent, but after spending the past few days with Lu Qing, it had realized something.
Lu Qing didn’t seem to be someone driven by a strong desire for power.
On the contrary, this young man had a rather carefree personality.
He was indifferent to many things and was quite easygoing.
Even the ordinary villagers in the village below often joked with him, and not only did he not get angry, but he also went to great lengths to set up a formation to protect them.
Compared to the ruthless side he had shown when threatening Yan and refining the Plague Elder, Lu Qing seemed like a completely different person.
Such contradictory behavior made Yan more cautious in its dealings with Lu Qing.
This young man was becoming increasingly unpredictable.
With the Spirit-Converging Tablets in place, the earth energy around the medicine field grew even thicker.
The surrounding spiritual energy was also continuously drawn into the field.
The thousand-year-old ginseng, feeling all of this, became even more excited.
Its leaves swayed joyfully.
While Lu Qing carefully tended to the spirit field at the Halfway House, a few unexpected guests arrived at the city’s provincial capital.
