Chapter 668: Chapter 446: Spirit Stones in Short Supply, Traveling the World_2

Spirit stones are strategic support, it’s better to keep some on hand for emergencies.

If they are all consumed at once and needed later, it would be troublesome not to have any.

Moreover, with his current strength, achieving the first transformation in this world doesn’t make much of a difference.

“It seems, it’s time to go on a journey.”

Lu Qing muttered to himself, having already made up his mind.

He turned and left the Jade Cave, transforming into a stream of light, quickly returning to the village.

“Ah Qing is back?”

A villager noticed the stream of light that Lu Qing had transformed into, glanced up, and continued with their tasks.

After such a long time, they were already accustomed to Lu Qing frequently coming and going.

“Brother, you’re back!”

As he landed in the courtyard, Little Yan ran out of the house.

Behind her were Little Li and Five Elements.

“Mm, I’m back.”

Looking at Little Yan, Lu Qing suddenly had a thought.

“Little Yan, do you feel bored staying at home, would you like brother to take you out for fun?”

“Where are we going to play, are we going to the market?” Little Yan tilted her head and asked.

The little girl, although a bit grown up now, was still as innocent and lively as before.

She thought Lu Qing was going to take her to the market.

“A bit further away, just going out for a walk like when we went to Central State last time.”

“We’re going on a trip, great!”

Upon hearing this, Little Yan’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Then let’s tell master about it and head out.”

“Isn’t Grandpa Chen coming with us?”

“Master is currently at a crucial point in his cultivation, not suitable for a long trip.”

“Then I’ll tell Second Sister and Aunt about this.”

“Mm, go ahead.”

After Little Yan said goodbye to her little companions, Lu Qing took Little Yan, along with Little Li and Five Elements, to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.

“Are you going on a trip?”

The elder doctor asked after hearing Lu Qing’s words.

“Yes, disciple’s recent cultivation has hit a bottleneck, closing off again is useless, so I’d like to take Little Yan out to experience the world and broaden her horizons.” Lu Qing replied.

The elder doctor pondered for a moment and said, “It’s good to go out and relax, don’t worry, I’ll look after the village, there won’t be any issues.”

Lu Qing wasn’t worried about the safety of the village.

Now that the major threat from Suspended Mountain had been eliminated by him and the village was guarded by the array he set up after achieving the Golden Core.

And Wei Shanhai and others mostly resided here steadily.

It could be said that Jiuli Village was now as impregnable as a fortress, strong in power.

No one could cause trouble.

Lu Qing was more concerned about another matter.

“Master, when do you plan to cross the tribulation and break through?”

Months ago, the elder doctor reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment Realm.

Yet after all this time, he hadn’t broken through.

“No rush, I plan to accumulate more, crossing the tribulation is of great importance, I haven’t felt the breakthrough opportunity yet.”

The elder doctor was not anxious.

“Since you haven’t sensed the opportunity, there’s indeed no rush to break through.” Lu Qing nodded.

The Golden Core Tribulation is not ordinary, especially the condensation of the Magic Power Golden Core, which has an immensely significant impact on the path of future cultivation.

Thus, before crossing the tribulation, the deeper the accumulation, the better.

So, not sensing the breakthrough opportunity wasn’t a bad thing, but rather a good thing.

It meant that his accumulation hadn’t reached its limit and there was still room to solidify his foundation.

“Master, remember to send a message to me when you plan to cross the tribulation so that I can come back and protect you.”

Lu Qing had the Void Flying Boat, and if he really wanted to hurry back, even if it was far away in Central State, it wouldn’t take him long.

“Alright, you all can go out and have fun, if I sense the breakthrough opportunity, I’ll send you a message.”

The elder doctor agreed readily.

Then on that day, Lu Qing took Little Yan, along with two spiritual beasts, leaving Jiuli Village to go on a journey.

The first stop was to tour around Cang State.

This brought immense joy to Little Yan and Little Li, every day she could see new things, and besides the joy, it greatly broadened her perspective.

Seeing their happiness, Lu Qing even temporarily set aside searching for spirit stone veins.

Since returning from Central State, he often needed to go into seclusion, and the time spent with Little Yan became much less.

This time, since they were out, they might as well have a good time traveling.

Thus, after finishing their tour of Cang State, Lu Qing and his companions went on to Jizhou, Qi State, Feng Province…

Along the way, they left their footprints in many places across the world.

On this day, Lu Qing and his companions reached a new major state.

“Is this the sea? How magnificent!”

From atop a high mountain, Little Yan gazed at the endless expanse of the ocean before her, eyes filled with awe.

Lu Qing also had a look of astonishment in his eyes.

They had arrived at a small frontier state on the eastern edge.

This small state bordered the East Sea, and he brought Little Yan here intending to show her the world’s ocean.

The result was that his heart and spirit were thoroughly shaken.

Having been in this world for so long, it was his first time witnessing the ocean of this land.

Compared to the Blue Star of his previous life, the ocean in this world was more vast and even more awe-inspiring.

Moreover, Lu Qing’s Golden Core level perception told him that buried within might be incredibly powerful forces.

More unfathomable than the land.

His heart and spirit were slightly on edge.

He recalled the words once spoken by “Yan.”

In the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, the sea was ruled by the Sea Clan.

Even experts at the Primordial Spirit Realm dared not easily venture into the depths of the sea’s domain.

Later, when the spiritual energy was exhausted, the sea even more became a forbidden zone for the Human Race.

So no one could clearly say what lay deep beneath the sea.

Now it seems, under the changes of heaven and earth and the revival of spiritual energy.

The depths of the sea have undergone unknown changes.

Moreover, to make even him feel a sense of alertness, the change must not be minor.

The Five Elements Winged Snake looked at the vast sea ahead, its eyes fixed.

Though it was a Winged Snake, it too loved water greatly.

During its guardianship of the Five Elements Treasure Lotus in a secret realm, it resided in water for many years.

Now seeing such a vast ocean, apart from being amazed, it even felt the urge to dive in and swim.

In contrast, Little Li, perched on Lu Qing’s shoulder, looked at the ocean ahead, sensing the abundant Water Element Spiritual Energy around, and showed a face of disdain.

Naturally water-averse, it couldn’t express enough disdain seeing so much water.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the ocean, Lu Qing took Little Yan and the others away.

Although he was also interested in exploring the sea.

But the ocean was too complex, and with Little Yan around, he didn’t want to take the risk.

Moreover, knowing Little Li’s aversion to water, if it knew they were going to explore the ocean, it wouldn’t hesitate to scratch all over his face.

After leaving the seaside, Lu Qing led Little Yan and the others northward.

Along the way, they saw many new and exotic customs.

Little Yan and the others were constantly exclaiming with surprise every day.

Even Lu Qing felt his eyes opened wide, gaining a deeper understanding of this world.

On this day, they arrived at another new major state.

As soon as they entered this major state, Lu Qing was surprised.

“The temperature here…”

He felt that upon entering this state, the temperature suddenly plummeted.

It was much lower than the previous state.

But clearly, the distance between the two wasn’t very far.

“Brother, the weather here is so comfortable, Little Yan likes it here.”

What surprised Lu Qing even more was that, despite the low temperature, Little Yan showed an expression of enjoyment.

She seemed to really like the climate here.

Lu Qing’s heart stirred, sensing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Rules.

Soon, he gained insight.

It turned out that the Heaven and Earth Rules around had a touch of icy flavor, giving this major state a peculiar chill.
