I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 94
The Black Night Spirit Lynx: A mountain spirit beast, juvenile, female.
Extremely fast, with sharp claws that can shatter stones and split metal.
According to legend, the Black Night Spirit Lynx loves fish but is inherently averse to water, leaving it longing for fish it can never reach.
This little beast is currently undergoing a peculiar transformation; it may undergo significant changes upon awakening.
After using his abilities to check Xiao Li’s current condition and finding no problems, Lu Qing relaxed.
He sat nearby, waiting for Xiao Li to wake up, while silently continuing to study the inheritance left by the Divine Rune Sect with his abilities activated.
The first step in rune cultivation is called “Calming the Mind and Purifying the Heart.”
Through specific breathing and meditation techniques, one’s mind is trained to achieve a state of relaxation and emptiness.
In this state, observing the outside world makes it easier to see the essential patterns of all things, triggering inspiration and finding that moment of spiritual resonance, gaining insights into the mysteries of these patterns.
Even this first step is not easy for many people.
Most people in the world are restless and find it difficult to maintain a pure mind.
The human mind, full of erratic thoughts, is the hardest to control, often giving rise to distracting thoughts and irritability if not careful.
Naturally pure-hearted people who can easily control their minds are rare.
Therefore, this first step of rune cultivation, “Calming the Mind and Purifying the Heart,” stumps countless people.
For Lu Qing, however, this step was not difficult.
He had already purified his mind once after the battle at Happy Fort, strengthening his martial spirit.
Moreover, he had his abilities to assist him.
When he activated his learning state, he entered a state similar to epiphany, making it extremely easy for him to achieve a state of mental emptiness.
Thus, he easily accomplished the first step of rune cultivation, “Calming the Mind and Purifying the Heart.”
After successfully calming the mind and purifying the heart, the next step was to choose an object for observation.
One should observe its growth patterns and structure, then compare these with the runes recorded in the inheritance, looking for connections and understanding the runes.
The inheritance suggests that beginners in rune cultivation should start by observing simple objects, such as common grass, stones, or wood.
This makes it easier to gain insights and verify the runes.
Lu Qing looked around; the cave chamber had been transformed into jade, devoid of any debris, let alone stones or soil.
Not knowing when Xiao Li would wake up, he was reluctant to leave the cave.
After some thought, he took out a piece of silver from his money pouch.
After all, silver is a common item, similar to grass or stones, and should not be difficult to observe.
Holding the piece of silver in his hand, Lu Qing began his detailed observation.
This piece of silver was from the box sent by Mago, pure snowflake silver with very high purity and beautiful snowflake patterns.
Lu Qing had never observed a piece of silver so closely before.
In the state of mental emptiness from “Calming the Mind and Purifying the Heart,” he watched the silver according to the Divine Rune Sect’s mental techniques, feeling a noticeable difference from usual.
The silver seemed magnified in his eyes, revealing some special patterns.
These patterns seemed somewhat familiar.
He recalled that some runes recorded in the Divine Rune Sect inheritance bore a slight resemblance.
“So, this is how one verifies runes?”
Lu Qing remained calm, but a sense of realization arose in his mind.
The Divine Rune Sect inheritance included a general outline.
It recorded three hundred runes, divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, with sixty runes in each element.
The patterns on this piece of silver shared some similarities with the metal-element runes.
If Lu Qing could comprehend these similarities, he could use the metal-element runes to connect with the patterns on the silver.
At that time, even a piece of silver in his hand could become a formidable weapon, unleashing terrifying power.
However, reaching this level required a profound realm, likely the same as the mysterious existence that had created the jade-transformed cave chamber.
This was beyond Lu Qing’s current abilities.
Nonetheless, this insight gave Lu Qing a deeper understanding of the essence of rune cultivation.
He realized that observing the patterns of all things and connecting with them was the key.
With this understanding, Lu Qing became even more interested in rune cultivation.
He continued observing the piece of silver in his hand, constantly comparing its unique patterns with the runes in his mind, trying to find connections.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Qing immersed himself in the unique practice of rune cultivation.
The cave chamber, with its special light, seemed perpetually bright, oblivious to the changes outside.
It was unclear how much time had passed when a slight movement beside him awakened Lu Qing from his cultivation state.
“Xiao Li, you’re awake?”
Lu Qing stopped his cultivation and looked at Xiao Li, who was stretching lazily.
At this sight, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Li seemed unchanged in size, still the same small beast.
However, its black fur, like flames, had become deeper and its aura more ethereal, giving a completely different impression.
Lu Qing focused his gaze on the Black Night Spirit Lynx.
A dense red light with a hint of gold emerged from Xiao Li’s body.
The Black Night Spirit Lynx: A mountain spirit beast, juvenile, female.
Extremely fast, with sharp claws that can shatter stones and split metal, cutting through everything.
It possesses a gifted ability: its fur can distort light, merging it into darkness.
According to legend, the Black Night Spirit Lynx loves fish but is inherently averse to water, leaving it longing for fish it can never reach.
Gold?!
Lu Qing was astonished to see the golden light emerging from Xiao Li.
Previously, although Xiao Li was a spirit beast, as a juvenile, its aura was only a faint red light, inferior even to that of the Wei family’s chief steward.
Unexpectedly, after consuming a few drops of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, it had directly broken through the limit, reaching a hint of golden level.
Moreover, the description now indicated it had gained a new gifted ability.
The Earth Vein Spirit Liquid indeed deserved its reputation as a rare treasure that could enhance one’s aptitude.
Lu Qing marveled and couldn’t help but look forward to the changes he would undergo after consuming the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid.
“Xiao Li, how do you feel now? Any changes in your body?” Lu Qing asked expectantly.
He wanted to see Xiao Li’s newly acquired gifted ability.
“Yip?”
Xiao Li tilted its head in confusion, then seemed to sense something.
The next moment, an extraordinary scene unfolded before Lu Qing.
The light around Xiao Li twisted.
Then, Xiao Li suddenly vanished before his eyes.
