After a day of cultivation, Lu Qinghe completely refined the medicinal power.
The next day, at the approximate time for taking the medicine, Lu Qinghe went straight to the kitchen.
He didn't want to eat leftover food from others again.
In the kitchen, the medicinal soup had been prepared and the maid was about to pick it up.
When she saw Lu Qinghe, she couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Young Master Lu?"
"I'll take it there myself."
Lu Qinghe said calmly.
"How can that be? This bowl of medicinal soup is primarily made from Tianxin Begonia and is worth no less than a thousand gold. It's extremely precious. If anything goes wrong, I can't bear that responsibility."
"If anything goes wrong? At the very least, I feel that if I bring it over, the potion won't be any less than if you bring it over."
After Lu Qinghe finished speaking, the maid, like a cat with its tail stepped on, couldn't help but exclaim, "Young Master Lu, what do you mean? What do you mean that if I bring it over, it won't be any less, could it be that I secretly drank some?"
Seeing the young girl in front of him, who was now yelling and attracting attention, Lu Qinghe remained calm, "One bowl of Tianxin Begonia. I don't want to cause a commotion like the sky is falling. But if you don't know your place..."
"What do you mean by not knowing your place? Even if you're a young master, you can't arbitrarily accuse us servants. If young master Lu doesn't give me an explanation, I will have to ask Madam to do me justice..."
"Bang!"
Before the maid could finish speaking, the Moon Frost Sword, in its sheath, had already struck her face hard, sending her flying and crashing heavily into the wall.
"Wow!"
A mouthful of blood instantly sprayed from her mouth.
"Murder..."
As the maid was about to scream, the sharp edge of the Moon Frost Sword was already at her throat, the icy coldness stopping her from making any further sound.
"Is there Tianxin Begonia's medicinal power in your blood, easily detectable, and do I need to confirm whether I've accused you wrongly?"
With these words, the maid's pain turned into fear in an instant.
For a maid to secretly consume spirit medicine, if discovered, according to the strict rules of the Snow Sword Villa...
Execution!
In an instant, the maid could not help but tremble all over, "Young Master Lu... I..."
"It won't happen again."
Lu Qinghe took the Moon Cold Sword and the medicine soup of the Heavenly Heart Begonia, turned and left.
This maid belonged to the second lady.
Lu Qinghe didn't care about anything in Xuejian Manor, even the position of the Manor Lord of Xuejian Manor, he didn't care, he just wanted to seek the truth in his cultivation, and didn't want to have too much resentment with the people of Xuejian Manor.
If it weren't for Lu Qingyun...
He probably would never have returned to Xuejian Manor.
Back in his room, Lu Qinghe immediately consumed the medicine soup while it was still hot.
Relying on the power of this medicine soup, he moved his true energy through thirty-four meridians in one go, reaching the threshold of the Triple Refinement of True Essence.
After the final portion of the medicine soup was refined on the third day, Lu Qinghe's cultivation had reached thirty-six meridians, only waiting to break through the Governor and Conception Channels, and then he could circulate his true energy in the large cosmic cycle, crossing from the Postnatal to the Prenatal, and step into the realm of the Quadruple Refinement of True Essence.
The Heavenly Heart Begonia belongs to Yin, while the Xuanming Technique in the Five Elements is Yang. The two attributes cannot perfectly blend, otherwise, a single Heavenly Heart Begonia might directly reach the Quadruple Refinement of True Essence.
"Relying on the medicinal power of the Heavenly Heart Begonia, my meridians are being nourished, it should be much easier to break through the Governor and Conception Channels..."
Moreover, for Lu Qinghe himself, breaking through the Governor and Conception Channels was not a difficult task.
Toughening the bones, tendons, and organs, and exchanging blood, requires the practitioner to have extreme control over the physical body. Otherwise, even a slight mistake could damage the body and lead to hidden ailments.
Lu Qinghe was able to cultivate to the peak of Refining Essence into Qi in the past, with surging essence and blood in his body, and his qi and blood were like rainbows, because of the rebirth from exchanging blood.
Perhaps there was the profound mystery of Qingping Sword's insight in this, but Lu Qinghe's own persistence and perseverance were also commendable.
"Stabilize the cultivation base, wait until the true energy in the body circulates freely, and the qi and blood merge, forming a continuous trend, then start to impact the Governor and Conception Channels and step into the Preliminary Prenatal."
Lu Qinghe's thoughts were clear.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that his perception of the outside world was meticulous, his mind was clear, and his problem-solving was thorough, almost...
Almost akin to the profound insight he had when he first obtained the Qingping Sword.
Soon after breaking through to the peak of the Triple Refinement of True Essence not long ago, he had a feeling. At that time, the clarity and lucidity were not so obvious, and he didn't think much of it, but at this moment...
"Is the breakthrough in cultivation due to the Qingping Sword?"
Lu Qinghe suppressed this doubt in his heart.
As a practitioner's cultivation breaks through, the refinement of true energy also enhances the sharpness of their senses. This was the first time Lu Qinghe had encountered the state of refining true energy, and although he sensed changes in himself, he couldn't determine the reason behind it.
"After going to the Asking Immortal Sect, I will need to spend some time supplementing the basic knowledge about the world's cultivation system."
Lu Qinghe thought to himself.
"Qinghe!"
At this moment, a voice brought Lu Qinghe's attention back.
A bright-eyed and white-toothed girl was walking towards him with a straight posture, a Blue Edge hanging from her waist, and her long black hair flowing in the wind, giving off a heroic and extraordinary demeanor.
Lu Qingyun.
"I've heard about what happened to the maid. It's my fault."
"It's a small matter."
"Hmph! If someone dares to bully us siblings, it's no small matter. I've ordered someone to break her hands. If it weren't for Second Lady interceding, I would have killed her."
Lu Qinghe looked at the girl in front of him and said with a faint smile, "It's not good to always talk about killing at such a young age."
"Stop it! You act as if you're so old."
Lu Qingyun rolled her eyes at Lu Qinghe.
Lu Qinghe remained calm.
In his past life, he was already twenty-nine, making him entirely an uncle to the sixteen-year-old Lu Qingyun.
"That's right, you've reached the peak of the Triple Refinement of True Essence. At this rate, in a few months, you'll be able to step into the Preliminary Prenatal of the Quadruple Refinement of True Essence. When you reach the Prenatal, let's see who still dares to talk nonsense."
Lu Qingyun's keen eyes saw a faint fluctuation of true energy emanating from Lu Qinghe at this moment.
"Rest for a day to stabilize your realm. We will set off tomorrow for the Asking Immortal Sect."
Lu Qinghe nodded.
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
"I will."
Lu Qingyun nodded slightly.
Lu Qinghe did not inquire whether Lu Qingyun had refined the Three-Colored Blood Lotus, nor did he ask about her current progress in cultivation. However, judging from his perception, compared to when they first met in Qingyuan City, Lu Qingyun's overall spirit, vitality, and demeanor had stepped up to a higher level.
A day passed quickly.
The next morning, they set off.
"The Asking Immortal Sect is located on the border of the Thousand Ancient Kingdom, occupying an area of three thousand miles in the Elysian Mountains. It is considered a sacred place for cultivation in the hearts of many practitioners in the Thousand Ancient Kingdom. The Asking Immortal Sect lives up to its name as a sacred place, and I, Lu Qingyun, am considered the most outstanding genius since the establishment of Xuejian Manor. However, in the Asking Immortal Sect, there are countless individuals with abilities similar to mine, if not more."
As Lu Qingyun said this, there was no hint of discouragement in her expression, but rather a spirit of determination and enthusiasm, "But I believe that one day, I, Lu Qingyun, will stand at the peak of the Elysian Mountains and tread all those geniuses of the Asking Immortal Sect underfoot. They will cheer my name, Lu Qingyun!"
Lu Qinghe looked at this spirited young girl and nodded slightly.
"I believe," he said.
"Of course you must believe. I am your most outstanding sister, unique and irreplaceable, incomparable to anyone else!"
Lu Qinghe smiled faintly.
Looking at this girl's face that still had a hint of innocence, there was a touch of gentleness in his eyes.
Lu Qinghe...
Has a good sister.
