I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 117



“Grandpa Chen!”

Early morning, in front of the Halfway House.

Lu Qing held Xiao Yan's hand, with Xiao Li standing on his shoulder, just coming up from the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the old doctor practicing boxing in the courtyard, Xiao Yan sweetly called out.

“You’re here?”

The old doctor finished the last move of Health Nourishing Boxing and effortlessly concluded his practice.

“Master, your Health Nourishing Boxing has reached the pinnacle of perfection, far surpassing mine,” Lu Qing exclaimed.

The master’s boxing, which was seamlessly integrated with the surroundings, was something Lu Qing couldn’t yet achieve.

“After all, I've been practicing for decades more than you; it's only natural I'm a bit more proficient,” the old doctor laughed.

“It seems you've been adjusting well these past few days, Master.”

Lu Qing observed his master, who now looked like an ordinary old man, without any sign of being a powerful warrior on the verge of stepping into the Precelestial realm.

Even Lu Qing, without using his abilities, couldn't discern anything unusual.

This indicated that the master's control over himself had reached an astonishing level, with not a trace of Blood Qi leaking out.

“You’re already slightly stronger than me, having quickly broken through to the Tendons and Bones Realm.”

With his current level, the old doctor naturally saw through Lu Qing's progress at a glance.

After exchanging compliments, the group entered the courtyard.

“Master, where do you plan to break through?” Lu Qing asked.

“Here in the courtyard. I've lived here for so many years and am most familiar with this place. The fragrance of herbs in the courtyard gives me a sense of peace,” the old doctor replied.

Lu Qing nodded.

From the inheritance in his mind, he knew that the breakthrough to the Precelestial realm didn't have stringent requirements for the external environment.

Since primordial qi was everywhere, once the level was reached, the location wouldn’t significantly affect the warrior's ability to draw qi into their body.

Of course, some famous mountains and rivers, natural blessed lands, had inherently abundant primordial qi, increasing the chances of a successful breakthrough.

However, such blessed lands were usually occupied by powerful forces and inaccessible to Lu Qing and his master.

Thus, since the master felt at peace in the Halfway House, it was the best place for his breakthrough.

“A Qing, this is my first attempt at breaking through to the Precelestial realm. Watch carefully; you might gain something from it.”

The old doctor sat cross-legged on the stone table where he usually drank tea, his expression solemn.

“Mm.” Lu Qing nodded earnestly and told Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, “You two, watch Grandpa Chen closely.”

Being able to observe a breakthrough to the Precelestial realm up close was a tremendous opportunity for any Postnatal realm warrior.

That’s why Lu Qing brought the two along.

Even though they were young and naive, the essence of the breakthrough would leave a lasting impression, greatly benefiting their future growth.

Even spirit beasts like Xiao Li were no exception.

These weren’t mere guesses; the inheritance from Li Weitian explicitly recorded these facts.

In some major sects, when someone broke through to the Precelestial realm, they would often hold a viewing ceremony for core disciples to experience the essence of the breakthrough.

The goal was to hope the Precelestial breakthrough could bless the disciples, helping them gain insights and progress more smoothly in their cultivation journey.

Hearing Lu Qing's words, the two children widened their eyes, watching the old doctor intently.

Especially Xiao Li, whose spirit beast sensitivity made it keenly aware that something miraculous was about to happen to the old doctor.

The old doctor closed his eyes, breathing quietly, adjusting his state to the best condition.

He then mobilized the meticulously refined power of his soul, directing it towards the qi orifice in his dantian.

For a Postnatal realm warrior to break through to the Precelestial realm, the first step was to refine the power of the soul.

The second step was to use this soul power to open the qi orifice in the dantian.

The third step was to draw primordial qi into the body, guiding it into the dantian qi orifice, refining it into the unique Precelestial qi.

Only with the formation of Precelestial qi could one truly break through to the Precelestial realm.

Among these steps, the second and third must not be separated.

If the dantian qi orifice opened but didn’t receive the nourishment of primordial qi in time, it would quickly shrink and close.

Then, reopening it would become ten times more difficult.

Thus, the first breakthrough from Postnatal perfection to the Precelestial realm was the most critical.

If interrupted or attacked during the breakthrough, causing the qi orifice to close, it would become exceedingly difficult to break through again.

Such actions were akin to cutting off one's path, leading to enmity even among the closest of kin.

Knowing this crucial point, Lu Qing insisted on protecting his master during the breakthrough.

Under the guidance of the old doctor's mind, the power of his soul quickly reached the dantian, finding the door to the qi orifice.

The qi orifice door in the dantian, existing between reality and illusion, was profound and mysterious, only perceptible by a warrior's soul power.

Hence the saying that only by refining the soul power at Postnatal perfection could one hope to break through to the Precelestial realm.

Without soul power, unable to sense the qi orifice door, no matter how strong one was, they couldn’t open the qi orifice to break through to the Precelestial realm.

Having consumed the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, the old doctor’s body was full of vitality, perfectly balanced, with a loosened qi orifice.

Thus, upon finding the qi orifice door, he smoothly opened it, carving out the qi orifice.

The newly opened qi orifice was fragile and unstable, requiring the use of soul power to carefully polish and stabilize it.

This was a meticulous task, demanding a high level of mental stability from the warrior.

Any impatience or excessive force could damage the qi orifice, affecting the foundation even if the breakthrough succeeded, trapping one in the initial Precelestial stage.

Fortunately, the old doctor, having witnessed countless life and death, suffering and joy in his long career, had honed his mind to be calm and unperturbed.

Even many true Precelestial experts might not match his mental stability.

Thus, he meticulously polished his qi orifice, remaining patient even when mentally exhausted.

Finally, when his mind was half-spent, the qi orifice was fully polished and stabilized, no longer closing.

After stabilizing the qi orifice, the old doctor was spiritually enlightened.

He directed the remaining soul power to rush towards the Baihui acupoint at the top of his head, known as the meeting point of all meridians and acupoints.

Invisibly, the old doctor seemed to hear a faint sound.

As the Baihui acupoint opened, he felt a mysterious connection between his qi orifice and the external world.

Simultaneously, his soul power sensed the omnipresent primordial qi in the world, previously unnoticed.

What a profound mystery of the world!

The old doctor was moved by this newfound perception of the world.

Fortunately, he quickly realized he couldn’t lose himself in this worldly perception.

Otherwise, his mind would deplete, and his will would be assimilated by the primordial qi, never to awaken.

Regaining awareness, the old doctor cautiously used his soul power, through the mysterious connection, to draw a strand of primordial qi into his body, guiding it into the dantian qi orifice.

Once the primordial qi entered the qi orifice, he began refining it according to the secret method left by Li Weitian.

This was another meticulous task.

After an unknown period, the old doctor finally refined the primordial qi into a strand of his own Precelestial qi.

With the emergence of this Precelestial qi in the qi orifice, it was as if an ancient deity had opened the heavens and earth. The previously stabilized qi orifice instantly expanded and merged with the entire dantian.

From then on, the dantian was the qi orifice, and the qi orifice was the dantian, inseparable.

With the formation of the dantian qi orifice, a chain reaction occurred, causing the old doctor’s entire body, including his soul power, to undergo an astonishing transformation.

Simultaneously, an intangible essence emerged in the external world.

Countless primordial qi rapidly gathered, forming a white mist that poured into the old doctor’s body, providing the energy needed for his transformation.

Lu Qing and Xiao Yan watched this miraculous scene, feeling the awe-inspiring will of the heavens and earth, their mouths slightly agape in astonishment.

After the initial shock, joy appeared on Lu Qing’s face.

“The white mist appears; the Precelestial realm is achieved. Master has successfully broken through to the Precelestial realm!”

With the inheritance in his mind, Lu Qing naturally understood the significance of this scene.

The white mist was the result of the extremely dense primordial qi condensing, a reward from the heavens for a warrior who overcame great trials to break through from Postnatal to Precelestial.

With this extremely dense primordial qi, the warrior had enough energy to transform their body into a Precelestial form.

The body’s strength would greatly increase, and lifespan would be extended, allowing them to live up to three hundred years without illness or disaster.

As the white mist continued to gather, Lu Qing’s heart tensed.

The time for each warrior to break through from Postnatal perfection to the Precelestial realm varied.

The longer the transformation, the more solid the warrior’s foundation, and the greater their potential for future

advancement.

Generally, an ordinary Precelestial breakthrough would complete the transformation within a quarter of an hour.

Some martial geniuses, with exceptionally solid foundations, could sustain longer transformations, becoming outstanding among Precelestial warriors.

Naturally, Lu Qing hoped his master’s transformation would last as long as possible.

However, he also knew that his master was not particularly obsessed with martial cultivation, so he was unsure how long his master’s transformation would last.

As time passed, the awe-inspiring will of the heavens and earth continued to shock Lu Qing and Xiao Yan.

Meanwhile, strands of the white mist, formed from primordial qi, also landed on them, merging into their bodies.

This was the blessing of witnessing a Precelestial breakthrough.

Both the imprint of the heavens and earth’s will and the white mist of primordial qi were greatly beneficial to Lu Qing and the others.

They would make their future cultivation journey smoother.

As time ticked by, Lu Qing kept counting the minutes.

Slowly, his mouth began to open wider in surprise.

He realized that his master’s transformation had already lasted for two full quarters, twice the usual time for a Precelestial breakthrough.

“Did Master build such a solid foundation, or is it the effect of the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid?” Lu Qing was astonished.

In his astonishment, over three quarters passed.

He finally saw the white mist around his master gradually dissipate, and the intangible will of the heavens and earth that enveloped the courtyard also gradually faded.

When his master’s body became visible, Lu Qing’s eyes widened again.

His master’s appearance had changed significantly.

The once graying hair had turned jet black, and the wrinkles on his face had disappeared, his skin glowing. He looked decades younger, appearing middle-aged.

“Brother, the tree is blooming!”

At that moment, Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Qing then noticed that the tall old plum tree beside the stone table was now covered in white blossoms, overshadowing his master.

Under this snowy white canopy, the old doctor opened his eyes.

His gaze was calm, like a tranquil sea, devoid of ripples.

“Congratulations, Master, on successfully becoming a Precelestial expert.”

Lu Qing stepped forward to congratulate him.

“Yes, I finally broke through.”

A hint of emotion appeared in the old doctor’s eyes as he sighed.

He had thought this breakthrough would be smooth and quick, but unexpected dangers arose.

Especially when his mind rushed through the Baihui acupoint to sense the primordial qi. Had he not regained his senses quickly, his will might have been assimilated, leaving him a soulless body.

Indeed, the path of cultivation required caution at every step.

No matter how well-prepared, dangers still lurked in breakthroughs.

These couldn’t be truly understood without experiencing them firsthand.

“Grandpa Chen, you look so young now!”

At this time, Xiao Yan approached, speaking with great surprise.

“Oh, really?”

The old doctor looked at his body, then chuckled.

“What is this? I’m still old, yet I look so young. It’s just a cause for laughter.”

Saying this, he seemed to use some technique, quickly restraining his qi and blood.

His hair reverted to gray, and the wrinkles on his face reappeared.

Aside from a change in temperament, he returned to his original appearance.

“Master, what is this?” Lu Qing was shocked.

“Just a technique to restrain qi and blood,” the old doctor laughed.

“I’m already so old, what’s the point of looking young? If people saw me like this, wouldn’t they call me a monster? How would I continue treating patients then?”

Lu Qing was speechless.

Master truly embodied the essence of a pure healer.

Even after becoming a Precelestial expert, his first thought was still about treating patients.

Such a sincere heart was truly rare.

Moreover, Lu Qing was amazed at his master’s technique to change his appearance at will, a method far surpassing any disguise technique.

The Precelestial realm was indeed formidable.

“Master, now that you’ve broken through to the Precelestial realm, how does it differ from the Postnatal realm?” Lu Qing asked curiously.
