Chapter 307: Chapter 227: The Method of Consuming Qi
“Dad, what did you say?”
Fang Rou looked towards her father.
Da Shi and Zhao Qianlin, as well, looked on in confusion.
“I said, Elder Doctor Chen and Young Master Lu and the others, in going to Yunzhou, aren’t actually going to conduct any important matters. Instead, they are showing up deliberately to lead the people of Flowing Cloud Sect away in order to prevent them from coming to investigate later, which could once again bring disaster to the people of Qingfeng Town and pursue us.”
“Then, isn’t that very dangerous for Mr. Lu and the others!” Fang Rou’s face suddenly turned pale.
Fang Tao’s face also looked unsightly as he became annoyed, “No wonder I always felt something was strange before. I should have dissuaded them!”
“Master, Elder Doctor Chen and the others haven’t gone far. Should we chase after them now and stop them?” Da Shi said anxiously.
He couldn’t bear to watch his benefactors put themselves in such great danger.
“It’s useless.” Fang Tao shook his head, “Once they have made their decision, it’s not something we can persuade them against. Do you think Young Master Lu is the kind of person who would change his mind easily?”
Remembering Lu Qing’s resolute and decisive manner from before, everyone fell silent.
With Lu Qing’s extreme strength, his will was undoubtedly far stronger than ordinary people.
Such a person would not easily waver in his decisions.

“Then Dad, are we just going to watch as Mr. Lu and the others enter Yunzhou?” Fang Rou said unwillingly.
“That’s the only way. Elder Doctor Chen and the others clearly do not want Qingfeng Town to suffer any more calamities. Such an act of benevolence… even if we caught up to them, what reason could we have to dissuade them?” sighed Fang Tao.
Fang Rou and the others didn’t know what to say for a moment.
They just looked in the direction Lu Qing and the others had left, their expressions extremely complex.
There was admiration, but also shame, and even more so, worry.
Lu Qing and the others did not know that Fang Tao had already guessed their purpose in heading to Yunzhou.
After leaving Qingfeng Town, they followed the map that Fang Tao had given them and headed towards Yunzhou.
In the evening, when they stopped in a valley on the roadside to cook and rest, Lu Qing approached the elder doctor.
“Master, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
The elder doctor nodded, and the two walked to the other side of the valley.
Once they were far enough away, the elder doctor said, “Ah Qing, what do you want to discuss?”
Lu Qing said, “Master, as you can feel, the world has changed. There seems to be an indescribable and strange energy of will power in the world now, isn’t there?”
“Indeed.” The elder doctor nodded, “This energy of will is lively and full of vitality, seemingly even more mystical than the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. I can feel that if we could absorb and refine it, it would be extremely beneficial for cultivators.
However, when I tried to capture it, I couldn’t do so successfully.”
“If I’m not mistaken, that should be Spiritual Energy. To absorb and refine Spiritual Energy, two prerequisites are needed,” Lu Qing said.
“What are the prerequisites?” asked the elder doctor.
He wasn’t surprised as to why Lu Qing knew these things.
He knew that Lu Qing had received some mysterious inheritance and knew much more about ancient times than he did.
“The first prerequisite is that one needs to have reached the Innate Realm where the Qi Acupoints are opened. The second is to know a unique Qi Refining Method, which the ancient Cultivators called the Qi Eating Skill.”
“Qi Eating Skill?” the elder doctor realized, “No wonder, it turns out you need a unique cultivation method to refine Spiritual Energy. It’s not surprising, given how mystical and beneficial the Spiritual Energy is to the human body, that it’s not easy to refine.”
“Master, I happen to have a Qi Eating Skill here. I’m not sure if it’s suitable for you, but why don’t you take it and contemplate it to see if there’s any benefit?”
“Ah Qing, you know the Qi Eating Skill?”
Now, the elder doctor was truly surprised.
“This Qi Eating Skill is one of the inheritances I obtained in the cave where I found the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid. I never thought I’d use it in this lifetime, but now that the Spiritual Energy has recovered, it finally has a place to be used.”
“But, since it’s the inheritance you received, is it appropriate for you to teach it to your master?” the elder doctor hesitated.
“It’s okay. There was no requirement in the inheritance that a disciple must not pass it on to others, and besides, Master, you are not an outsider, so there is no prohibition.”
Even if there were prohibitions, Lu Qing wouldn’t care.
What he intended to teach his master was actually the inheritance he had obtained from the Leaving Fire Tripod.
“Who I pass the cultivation technique to is still up to me.”
“Since that’s the case, I shall shamelessly ask for your guidance, old man.”
Hearing Lu Qing say that it was not taboo, Old Doctor Chen also set his mind at ease.
Besides, he was curious how miraculous a cultivation technique that could refine spiritual energy could be.
“Master, please concentrate and clear your distracting thoughts to prepare for receiving the cultivation technique,” Lu Qing suddenly said solemnly.
Seeing this, Old Doctor Chen’s expression also turned serious and he nodded slightly.
The mentor and disciple began to face each other, sitting cross-legged on a large rock in the valley.
“Master, please forgive your disciple’s impudence.”
After Old Doctor Chen had completely calmed his heart and spirit.
Lu Qing extended a finger and gently touched it to his master’s forehead.
Despite being surprised, out of absolute trust in his own disciple, Old Doctor Chen didn’t move and allowed Lu Qing’s finger to touch his forehead.
Then, the next moment, a very surprised expression appeared on his face.
However, Old Doctor Chen couldn’t say anything before he closed his eyes and quietly received the information transmitted by Lu Qing.
After a while, when all the information had been received and Lu Qing’s finger was withdrawn,
Old Doctor Chen opened his eyes and looked at Lu Qing in astonishment, “It’s like a sudden enlightenment, Divine Soul Transmission, Ah Qing, your Divine Soul Power has grown this strong?”
Old Doctor Chen couldn’t help being astonished because, from their recent contact, he realized that Lu Qing’s Divine Soul Power was even stronger than his own.
At least Lu Qing had just shown a Divine Skill that he himself couldn’t perform now.
But his own disciple hadn’t even broken through to the Innate Realm yet!
“Disciple has encountered some opportunities recently which have greatly enhanced my Divine Soul Power,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
Old Doctor Chen was speechless.
He found it hard to imagine what kind of encounter could allow a Postnatal Realm martial artist to possess a Divine Soul Power far stronger than that of an ordinary Innate Realm.
Could this be the terrifying aspect of a so-called Child of Fate?
Involuntarily, Old Doctor Chen started to believe what Wei Shanhai often mentioned, that his own disciple being a Child of Fate wasn’t without reason.
“Master, I have now completely transferred the ‘Water-Swallowing Breath Technique’ to you. Please try to comprehend it and see if you can glean anything,” Lu Qing continued with a smile.
Old Doctor Chen nodded, closed his eyes, and began to contemplate the cultivation technique Lu Qing had taught him.
Seeing his master earnestly contemplating the technique, Lu Qing’s eyes finally showed a trace of fatigue.
Transferring the cultivation technique to his master seemed simple, but it was not easy.
A method like Divine Soul Transmission was usually something only martial arts experts above the Great Success of the Innate Realm could use.
It was only because he had formed the Divine Soul Talisman, reached the second level of the Qi Refining Method at the Honglu Temple, and understood various techniques of employing Divine Soul Power, that he could barely execute it.
However, after transferring the technique, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat exhausted.
He didn’t want his master to notice, so he pretended as if nothing had happened.
Now that his master was entering the cultivation state, his exhaustion surged forth.
Fortunately, Lu Qing had the Earth Spirit Pearl.
In the acupoint of his forehead, the Earth Spirit Pearl was slowly rotating; each rotation alleviated a portion of Lu Qing’s spiritual fatigue.
After several dozen breaths, he felt completely relieved of his mental exhaustion.
Not only that, he keenly noticed that as the fatigue dissolved, the resilience of his Divine Soul Power seemed to have also strengthened slightly.
“Hmm?”
Lu Qing thought to himself, a contemplative look crossing his face.
However, he quickly dismissed these thoughts.
Because he sensed that the spiritual energy in the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated.
And the source of this disturbance was coming from his master.
