I Can See Through All Things' Information

Chapter 263: Chapter 193: Miracle Emerges

In the early morning, Lu Qing arrived at Half Mountain Small Courtyard with Little Yan and Little Li.

He saw that the ancestor of the Wei Family was also there, while Elder Doctor Chen was brewing tea under the plum tree.

“Senior Wei,” Lu Qing greeted with a bow.

“Hello, Grandpa Wei,” Little Yan also greeted obediently.

“Good, all is good,” Wei Shanhai said with a smile across his face, “By the way, Young Master Lu, the materials you asked me to find a few days ago have all been gathered. I’ve placed them inside the house. You can go check them later to see if anything is missing.”

“All the materials have been found?”

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

He went inside to check and indeed found that the materials had been assembled.

He quickly came out to give thanks, “Thank you, Senior Wei, for gathering these materials. How much did it cost? I will reimburse you.”

“My young lord, you flatter me. It’s just some materials, hardly worth mentioning. The kindness you’ve shown to our Wei Family cannot be repaid with such trivial things,” Wei Shanhai laughed.

Lu Qing tried to refuse again, but seeing that Wei Shanhai insisted, he had no choice but to accept.

“Then, I shall accept them with gratitude.”

“That’s right. However, I am quite curious, Young Master Lu. Some of the materials you requested are quite peculiar. May I know what you plan to use them for?” Wei Shanhai inquired.

“I intend to experiment with a few things. As for what exactly, please allow me to keep it under wraps for now. Once I succeed, I shall seek guidance from you, Senior Wei.”

“Ha ha, then I shall eagerly await the results,” Wei Shanhai chuckled.

Seeing that Lu Qing did not wish to reveal more at that moment, Wei Shanhai was not upset; instead, his anticipation grew.

Previously, Lu Qing had asked their Wei Family to find materials from which he crafted a very magical Fire Liquid, and with that Fire Liquid, he forged a rarely seen Divine Weapon.

The materials Lu Qing sought this time were even more peculiar, so the project he wanted to test must be even more extraordinary.

Thus, he was very expectant.

“Come, Mr. Wei, have some tea.”

At this moment, Elder Doctor Chen’s tea was ready.

Little Yan conscientiously took Little Li to the study to read.

Lu Qing also sat down and chatted with the two elders.

“Excellent tea!” After drinking a cup, Wei Shanhai felt a refreshing aroma fill his mouth, and he couldn’t help but praise, “Elder Doctor Chen, each time I drink your Plum Tea, it has a different taste. Your tea brewing skills are truly marvelous.”

“It’s just that this plum blossom is rather unique. My tea brewing skills are actually quite ordinary,” the elder doctor chuckled.

Although Wei Shanhai knew this was a humble remark, he couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

He looked enviously at the plum tree behind the elder doctor.

This plum tree had received the nourishment of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and had undergone a transformation, becoming a rare treasure tree.

He felt somewhat regretful; when he had entered the Innate Realm, why hadn’t he thought of this?

If he had also sought a quality tea tree to aid his breakthrough at that time, he could now also possess a treasure tea tree.

However, Wei Shanhai knew that this was just wishful thinking.

Back when he glimpsed the chance for a breakthrough, he was overjoyed, forgetting everything and focusing solely on the breakthrough, fearing he would miss the opportunity.

He wouldn’t have thought to make such thorough arrangements ahead of time.

After several cups of tea, everyone became more engaged in the conversation.

“By the way, Young Master Lu, a considerable part of the materials you needed this time were purchased from the State Mansion. Yesterday, the Manager who escorted the materials from my mansion also brought news of some recent major events happening in the world.”

“Oh, what interesting events?” Lu Qing asked with keen interest.

With the imminent changes in heaven and earth, he was quite concerned about the dynamics of the world.

“The first major event is in Jizhou. Over the past few months, a very powerful Demon has appeared who likes to hunt down accomplished martial artists who have succeeded in their cultivation.

“This demon isn’t known for which Devil Technique he cultivates, but he can suck the Qi-Blood and marrow from people, which is extremely tyrannical and terrifying.”

“Every martial artist harmed by him ends up drained of Qi-Blood and marrow, looking like a dried corpse, which is utterly horrifying.”

“And it seems this demon specifically targets young, famous martial artists with excellent innate talents.”

“So far, he has already harmed dozens of young martial artists, many of whom were disciples of sects from Jizhou, and among them were even experts of the Internal Organ Realm.”

“This matter has already caused an uproar in Jizhou, all the major sects have already dispatched experts, determined to slay this demon and avenge their fallen disciples.”

“Can such things be?”

Elder Doctor and Lu Qing were both startled.@@novelbin@@

Especially Lu Qing, the way Wei Shanhai described the deaths of those martial artists made him think of some rather unpleasant things.

“This matter is absolutely true, now in Jizhou, there is already quite a bit of panic, many young martial artists no longer dare to travel outside, for fear of encountering that demon and becoming his prey,” said Wei Shanhai solemnly.

A thought struck Lu Qing, “Senior Wei, I remember that your esteemed house’s eldest son is studying in Jizhou, so…”

“That’s not something to worry about, Hao Er has already left Jizhou half a year ago with several fellow disciples to travel to Central State.”

Talking about this, Wei Shanhai also felt somewhat relieved.

Otherwise, given the cruelty of that demon, he truly couldn’t guarantee that Wei Zihao wouldn’t encounter harm.

Elder Doctor pondered for a moment, then asked, “Can suck human bone and blood… could it be that this demon is a high-ranking expert of the Demon Path in the Innate Realm?”

“I’m not sure about that either,” Wei Shanhai shook his head.

“Since the establishment of Holy Mountain a thousand years ago, the Demon Path has been declining, and it has been quite a while since a demon of the Innate Realm has appeared. If this demon truly were a demon of the Innate Realm, Holy Mountain would have taken action.”

“If he’s not a demon of the Innate Realm, does that mean Holy Mountain won’t intervene?” asked Lu Qing.

“Exactly, Holy Mountain holds such an exalted status; naturally, it can’t possibly handle everything personally, nor can it manage every matter.

Aside from certain principle-based prohibitions, it generally doesn’t intervene in the conflicts of martial artists below the Innate Realm.

Even if it’s a war between commanderies that could put hundreds of thousands of people in dire straits, it remains an indifferent observer.

If that demon hasn’t reached the Innate Realm, Holy Mountain is likely to continue standing by.

After all, the world is vast and martial artists are born continuously, it is only the death of a few dozen young martial artists.

In Jizhou, it might be a big issue, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s hardly significant.”

Hearing this, Lu Qing pondered deeply, gaining further insight into the stance of Holy Mountain.

“If that demon is only causing trouble in Jizhou, it’s still better,” continued Wei Shanhai.

“What I’m worried about is that now that the major sects of Jizhou have already dispatched experts to hunt this demon,

the moment that demon sees that the situation is unfavorable, he might flee to our Cang State, which would be troublesome.

For example, Young Master Lu, you have to be extremely careful, that demon likes to target young, talented martial artists, and he might come for you.

People of the Demon Path, their techniques are strange, and they are vastly different from our martial cultivation; you really must be extra cautious.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Doctor also said solemnly, “Indeed, Ah Qing, you must be vigilant.”

Lu Qing was known in the Hidden Dragon List, a true peerless genius.

Given the tendencies exhibited by that demon, Wei Shanhai’s concern was not unfounded.

“Yes, I will be careful,” Lu Qing responded earnestly.

Although he was confident, he also didn’t feel that there was nobody in the world who could pose a threat to him.

According to what Wei Shanhai said, if the Cultivation Technique that demon practiced was really as he suspected, he truly couldn’t afford to be careless.

“Besides the Jizhou matter, there’s another significant issue.”

Seeing that Lu Qing had taken the words to heart, Wei Shanhai also felt relieved and continued to chat.

“However, this matter happened here in our Cang State, and it’s something from the past few days.”
