Chapter 659: Chapter 442: Secret Realm Closes, Visitors_2

After eating three Red Moon Carp in a row, it was truly content.

“Brother, did you catch any fish?”

Little Yan came running over, her face flushed red.

Although she had reached the Innate Realm Early Stage, continuously using Innate Level movement techniques consumed quite a bit of spiritual power.

As for the Five-colored Winged Snake, it followed behind her.

It looked a bit enviously at Little Li standing on Lu Qing’s shoulder.

It also wanted to be that close to its master.

But it knew, Little Li was quite domineering; if it dared to get too close, it would definitely get beaten.

Getting beaten up wasn’t so bad, since its skin was thick and tough, and Little Li couldn’t hurt it.

But it knew, if it really ended up fighting with Little Li, the master would surely side with that Raccoon.

This was the lesson learned from several painful experiences by the Five-colored Winged Snake over this period.

“Of course I caught some.”

Lu Qing didn’t pay attention to the little movements of the Five-colored Winged Snake and showed the bucket of fish to Little Yan.

“So many Spirit Fish, there’s Red Moon Carp, and even golden loach!”

Seeing the fish in the bucket, Little Yan’s eyes widened immediately.

“It’s rare to catch so many Spirit Fish; tonight, let’s make fish soup, shall we?” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“Yes!” Little Yan nodded enthusiastically.

Fish soup made from Red Moon Carp was extremely delicious.

Just thinking about it made her mouth water.

The siblings and the two spiritual beasts happily walked back to the village.

As soon as they got home, Uncle Zhang from next door came over.

“Ah Qing, just got back from fishing?”

“Yes, caught quite a lot of Spirit Fish, planning to make fish tonight, Grandpa Zhang, you should come over too.” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“Haha, my old eyes are too dim to pick out fish bones, you all eat.” Uncle Zhang laughed.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa Zhang, Little Yan can help you pick out the bones clean!” Little Yan immediately said.

“Little Yan is so good.” Uncle Zhang patted the little girl’s head.

Then he seemed to hesitate.

Lu Qing noticed it and asked, “Grandpa Zhang, is there anything troubling you?”

Seeing Lu Qing had noticed it, Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak freely.

“Ah Qing, it’s just that yesterday, some of the village elders gathered together and discussed something, they have a request for you.”

“What request?” Lu Qing asked.

“Some of the young lads in the village, after witnessing your divine prowess before, wanted to learn some skills from you, would that be possible?”

Lu Qing was taken aback, not expecting Uncle Zhang to bring up this topic.

For a moment, he pondered.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhang quickly added, “Ah Qing, I know you are now among the immortals, but as the stories go, immortal techniques cannot be easily passed on. If it’s inconvenient for you, don’t worry, I’ll explain to them.”

“Grandpa Zhang misunderstood.” Lu Qing came back to his senses and said with a smile, “It’s not a matter of convenience.

The path of cultivation is not just about intention; it requires insight and talent.

Otherwise, even if there’s a true method, without the right talent, one cannot enter the path of cultivation.”

Lu Qing didn’t resent the villagers’ thoughts but rather understood them.

After all, who wouldn’t aspire to the means of immortals?

If it were him, seeing someone use an Immortal Technique, he would surely develop a heart for cultivation.

However, cultivation is not merely about having the desire.

Talent, insight, perseverance, and determination–all are necessary; lacking any one would make significant achievements in cultivation impossible, perhaps even prevent entry.

As far as cultivation goes, based on his understanding of the village’s youth, none seem to have remarkable potential at the moment.

“I see…”

Grandpa Zhang seemed disappointed.

He could hear from Lu Qing’s words that the village’s young people seem to lack potential for cultivating Immortal Techniques.

Seeing the disappointment on the elder’s face, Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, “But nothing is absolute, any matter could have a hint of opportunity within it.

How about this, Grandpa Zhang, discuss with everyone and see who wishes to cultivate.

Tomorrow, have them gather at my place; I will give them a chance.”

“Really?” Uncle Zhang’s face showed delight.

“Of course.” Lu Qing nodded.

“Alright, I’ll go back and tell them right now!”

Watching Uncle Zhang’s hurried departure, Lu Qing showed a slight smile on his face.

As a member of the village, he naturally hoped that Jiuli Village would become better and better.

If the village could produce one or two people with cultivation talent, it would also be a good thing for the village.

Now that spiritual energy has fully revived, the next tens of thousands of years will be an era dominated by the Immortal Dao.

Jiuli Village wants to preserve its legacy in such a grand trend, it cannot always rely solely on his protection.

After all, he didn’t know whether he would always stay in this world.

If Jiuli Village could have its own cultivators.

In case one day he had to leave this world, there would be someone to continue protecting the village and ensure its continuity.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing already had a plan in mind.

While he was pondering, suddenly, a wave of fluctuation came from the depths of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, and then gradually dissipated.

Lu Qing paused for a moment, then transformed into a stream of light and flew into the mountains.

Soon, he arrived at the front of the valley where the secret realm’s entrance was located.

He saw that the black vortex leading to the secret realm was gradually shrinking.

“Is this entrance to the Five Elements Secret Realm finally going to close?”

Lu Qing looked at the gradually shrinking black vortex and did nothing.

The opening and closing of the secret realm is a normal phenomenon of this world.

Unless, like the Four Great Secret Places, he was willing to completely integrate a spiritual artifact into the secret realm, it would be impossible to stop the secret realm from closing.

However, the few spiritual artifacts he had now were of great use to him.

He naturally couldn’t integrate them into the secret realm.

After all, the greatest opportunity in the Five Elements Secret Realm had already been taken by him.

Most of the other spirit grasses and spiritual objects had also been mostly searched by the martial arts experts who entered later.

Those experts who came later were also slain by the white-robed youth, and the spiritual objects they obtained were confiscated and eventually fell into Lu Qing’s hands.

It could be said that the current value of this Five Elements Secret Realm had greatly diminished, not worth wasting a spiritual artifact.

Seeing the black vortex finally completely disappear, the valley returned to complete tranquility.

The pervasive space fluctuations vanished completely.

Lu Qing felt a bit of sentiment inside.

This Five Elements Secret Realm brought him an enormous opportunity.

Without the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid obtained from the secret realm, he wouldn’t have been able to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm so quickly.

Moreover, without such a solid foundation, he might have missed the opportunity to achieve a perfect Golden Core.

Additionally, he also harvested a supreme spiritual medicine and a spiritual beast with incredible potential.

It could be said that this Five Elements Secret Realm was his greatest blessed land, without exaggeration.

Just don’t know when, after closing this time, it would reappear in the world again.

After a moment of reflection, Lu Qing, with a faint smile, glanced at the depths of the valley, then transformed into a stream of light once more and left the place.

As his figure completely disappeared, only then did a few people timidly emerge from a dark corner in the valley.

Their eyes were filled with the look of a narrow escape.

“Who is this young man, with such a terrifying aura, and can even fly in the air!”

“No matter who he is, he’s someone we absolutely cannot provoke!”

“Originally, we thought that since the Ten Thousand Great Mountains had been quiet recently, we might take the opportunity to enter this secret realm and find one or two spirit grasses.

Unexpectedly, as soon as we came here, this secret realm closed, and we encountered such a terrifying existence. Truly unlucky!”

“No, we should say it’s fortunate we came a step late. Had we come earlier, we might have been trapped to death in the secret realm.”

“Stop talking, let’s leave quickly. I have a feeling that person actually already discovered us. If he returns, we wouldn’t even know how we died.”

With this last sentence, the others immediately shivered and dared not talk any longer. They hurriedly left the valley, fleeing in another direction.

Lu Qing naturally noticed those people hiding in the valley.

But now, he no longer paid attention to a few Innate Realm individuals.

Since they didn’t provoke him, he naturally didn’t bother to deal with them.

Flying back to the village all the way, just as he landed at home, suddenly, someone came to visit.

And this time, it was Lin Zhirui who came.

Moreover, he brought two others with him.
