I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 418
Chapter 418
“Wuxing, when the opportunity arises, I’ll find you some suitable cultivation techniques from the demon race for your practice,” Lu Qing said, stroking the head of the Five Elements Winged Serpent.
The reason he named the serpent Wuxing was naturally due to its unique attributes.
The serpent had guarded the Five Elements Lotus for countless years, living within the spirit pool. Its physical body, nurtured by the essence of the five elements, had developed remarkable strength and attributes associated with those elements. Over time, it had even begun to form the foundation of a Five Elements Spiritual Body, giving it astonishing potential.
However, according to Wuxing, it had been in the hidden realm since birth and had never encountered any other living beings. As a result, it relied solely on its instincts for cultivation. This explained why, despite possessing the physical strength of a Golden Core Realm creature, it lacked refined combat techniques. Its crude methods made it easy for Lu Qing to trap it within the Li Huo Cauldron.
With a suitable cultivation technique, Lu Qing believed that Wuxing’s future achievements could rival or even surpass those of Xiao Li.
“Hiss—”
The Five Elements Winged Serpent nuzzled Lu Qing’s hand, transmitting a mental thought.
“You want the lotus seeds of the Five Elements Lotus?” Lu Qing was momentarily surprised before he smiled. “It’s not impossible. If you behave well in the future, I’ll consider it.”
Hearing this, the Five Elements Winged Serpent grew even more enthusiastic, eagerly rubbing against his hand in an ingratiating manner.
Lu Qing chuckled. When he first encountered the serpent, the information he gleaned from it indicated that its long-term guardianship of the Five Elements Lotus was primarily driven by its desire for the lotus seeds, which seemed to be crucial for its transformation.
Now that the serpent was bound to him as a spirit beast, helping it grow stronger would ultimately benefit him. Given this, Lu Qing didn’t mind being generous with the lotus seeds.
After settling the Five Elements Winged Serpent, Lu Qing turned his attention to the corpse of the white-robed youth. Since the body was here, it was best to dispose of it properly.
Lu Qing removed the items from the corpse, then summoned a flame and began incinerating it. The flame, drawn from the spiritual fire of the Li Huo Cauldron, was immensely powerful. Even the remains of a Golden Core Realm cultivator were reduced to ashes within moments, leaving behind nothing but a few orbs of light—artifacts that the white-robed youth had refined and stored within his body.
These artifacts, treasured by a Golden Core cultivator, were naturally extraordinary. Lu Qing examined the orbs and found several treasure-tier artifacts among them. The most striking was a fist-sized white pearl adorned with mysterious runes that occasionally flickered on its surface.
Activating his spiritual powers, Lu Qing focused on the white pearl. Soon, lines of information emerged in his vision:
“A supreme treasure-tier artifact…” Lu Qing murmured, his understanding deepened as he studied the pearl.
This pearl greatly enhanced spellcasting abilities, especially for cultivators skilled in water-based techniques. No wonder the white-robed youth’s Ten Thousand Arts Palm technique had been so formidable, combining offense, defense, and precision. It seemed the Ten Thousand Arts Pearl played a critical role.
“This would be perfect for my master,” Lu Qing mused. Though his master specialized in swordsmanship, his insights lay in the Dao of Water and Fire, making this artifact highly compatible with him.
However, Xiao Yan would also benefit from the Ten Thousand Arts Pearl. With her Ice Muscle and Jade Bone physique, her talents were rooted in water-element cultivation, making the pearl an excellent match. Yet, her current cultivation level was too shallow to handle a supreme treasure-tier artifact.
After careful consideration, Lu Qing decided to keep the Ten Thousand Arts Pearl for now, planning to give it to whoever needed it the most in the future. As for himself, with two spiritual artifacts and a life-bound treasure that surpassed ordinary spiritual artifacts in potential, he had no need for it. Besides, the pearl’s functions overlapped with his Five Elements Gourd, which was far superior.
Lu Qing then turned his attention to the remaining orbs, retrieving several other impressive artifacts and storing them away for future use.
Next, he examined the items taken from the white-robed youth’s corpse. Among the various trinkets, his gaze was drawn to a jade-green ring engraved with intricate runes. From the ring, he sensed faint spatial fluctuations. Activating his powers, he analyzed the ring:
“So it’s a spatial artifact,” Lu Qing said, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
He had been puzzled earlier by the white-robed youth’s meager possessions. If the youth had a spatial artifact, it all made sense.
With a thought, Lu Qing infused a strand of his soul power into the jade ring. Since the previous owner had perished, the artifact was now unbound, and Lu Qing easily imprinted his soul imprint, claiming it as his own.
After successfully refining the ring, Lu Qing inspected its contents, his expression shifting to delight.
“As expected of someone from the Yuanhao Great World, this Golden Core cultivator was truly wealthy.”
With a wave of his hand, he released the items stored within the ring into the spiritual space of the Li Huo Cauldron. The treasures hovered in midair—rare minerals, spiritual herbs, alchemical pills, and more, all radiating powerful auras.
Yan, the artifact spirit of the cauldron, glanced over and immediately focused on a pile of crystalline stones emanating dense spiritual energy.
“Spirit stones! That Golden Core cultivator actually had so many spirit stones stored up!” Yan exclaimed.
...
Meanwhile, atop a majestic mountain in Zhongzhou, a powerful shockwave erupted, scattering the clouds within a radius of dozens of miles. A cold, detached voice echoed across the heavens.
“Junior Brother, wait for me. I will avenge you.”
