Chapter 1146: Chapter 710: Time Changes, Spirits of Grass and Wood

"Indeed, an elixir that can purify the Golden Core. By chance, I obtained the Spiritual Medicine necessary to concoct such an elixir, and I should be able to refine some."

Seeing everyone’s astonished expressions, Lu Qing merely smiled.

He could naturally understand their surprise.

An elixir capable of purifying the Golden Core is considered quite precious, even in the Heavenly Origin Great World.

He could still recall the scene from years ago at the auction in Tianshu City, where an elderly man at the Golden Core Realm tearfully begged others for access to such an elixir.

However, coincidentally, Lu Qing had the Spiritual Medicine that could purify the Golden Core in his possession.

Given his current level of cultivation, he no longer had any use for such Spiritual Medicine.

It was better to refine it into an elixir rather than let it go to waste.

Upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, everyone felt a twinge of envy.

But envy was useless; they were not even at the Golden Core Realm and had no right to hope for an elixir of that level.

Hu Zezhi seemed somewhat apprehensive: "Brother Lu, this is too valuable; I’m afraid I don’t deserve it."

"There’s nothing to feel undeserving about. The Spiritual Medicine is of no other use to me anyway, and my master told me that over the years, you’ve been quietly protecting the village, and that’s commendable."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zezhi felt a pang in her nose, though she did not let Lu Qing see it, instead showing a brilliant smile: "Then I shall thank Brother Lu in advance."

Lu Qing chatted with Hu Zezhi and Ma Gu for a while longer, and at that moment, Wei Zian came over with a young boy and girl and a middle-aged beautiful woman.

"Brother Lu, let me introduce you: this is my wife, and these are my son and daughter. The elder is my daughter, named Shu Yun, and the younger is my son, named Shu Yao."

Following that, Wei Zian instructed his son and daughter: "You two, quickly pay your respects to your Uncle Lu!"

"Yes, Father,"

The young boy and girl obediently responded, then prepared to kneel and kowtow to Lu Qing.

However, Lu Qing lightly waved his sleeve, supporting them: "No need for such formalities."

Then he remarked with some emotion to Wei Zian: "I didn’t expect that after a trip out and back, you’ve already settled down and have such well-behaved children."

Thinking for a moment, Lu Qing took out a pair of Jade Tokens from the Qiankun Qi Bag.

"I don’t have much to give, but take these Jade Tokens. After refining them, wear them regularly. They help calm the spirit and nourish the physical body. If you encounter a strong enemy, activating them will also manifest a Magic Shield, ensuring some safety."

Wei Shu Yun and Wei Shu Yao looked at the Jade Tokens in Lu Qing’s hands, their eyes shining, but they still glanced first at their father.

Wei Zian smiled and said: "Since it’s a gift from your Uncle Lu, go ahead and accept it."

Inwardly, Wei Zian was also somewhat excited, knowing that Lu Qing’s divine skills were beyond their imagination and that anything he gifted must be extraordinary.

With their father’s permission, Wei Shu Yun and Wei Shu Yao carefully took the Jade Tokens from Lu Qing’s hands and put them away preciously.

After some conversation, once Wei Zian and his family left, Uncle Zhang and a few elders from the village came to visit.

During the following period, at Uncle Zhang’s invitation, Lu Qing paid a visit to the ancestral hall, meeting with the village’s residents.

Lu Qing’s presence brought great excitement to the villagers.

The younger generation was especially thrilled, seeing him as ethereal as an Immortal.

Many of them had grown up listening to Lu Qing’s stories and gazing at his portraits.

Astonishingly, despite the passage of years, Lu Qing’s appearance hadn’t changed, still as youthful as ever.

After meeting with the villagers, Lu Qing bestowed some fortunes upon them.

Over the decades, Jiuli Village has produced some cultivators.

The highest cultivation level achieved was the Foundation Establishment.

After all, Jiuli Village had the Spirit Gathering Array set up by Lu Qing years ago.

Months and years under the nourishing spiritual charm have subtly altered the villagers’ bloodlines and talents.

As a result, many of the infants born later had considerable talent for cultivation.

The timing is still short, but in a few hundred or thousand years, Jiuli Village may well become a hidden secret land.

After this meeting, however, Lu Qing sighed silently.

There were indeed not many familiar faces left in the village.

A few elders he knew well were frail and close to the end of their lives.

At that moment, Lu Qing truly felt the sentiment of the emotionless Immortal Dao, where things change, yet people remain the same.

After meeting the villagers, with Uncle Zhang and a few others, Lu Qing took Little Yan and Little Li to pay respects to his parents and Grandpa Zhang, as well as other deceased elders of the village.

After all that, Lu Qing then brought Little Yan and the others to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.

Upon descending, Lu Qing noticed a small, wrinkled figure, like a little old man, suddenly burrowing underground.

He paused in surprise, then realized it was the thousand-year-old ginseng he had captured back then, and it had now transformed.

Yet, observing the little creature, it seemed somewhat afraid of him, perhaps still holding a grudge from back then.

"You’re here?"

The elder doctor emerged from the house, having heard the commotion.

"Master, the ginseng has transformed. Why don’t we stew it tonight? I know a medicinal dish that uses ginseng as a lead, and it’s extremely nutritious."

Lu Qing deliberately suggested at that moment.

Then he felt a surge of energy trembling beneath his feet, quickly burrowing deeper underground.

The elder doctor was initially puzzled, then also sensed the ginseng’s burrowing energy.

He couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking his head: "You’re already a Great Power at the Primordial Spirit Realm, yet you’re teasing a little plant spirit."

"It’s just that this guy keeps hiding from me as if I’m really going to harm it," Lu Qing replied with a smile.

Han Lingshuang, watching from the side, was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Lu Qing to have such a childlike side.

Entering the courtyard, Lu Qing’s gaze landed on a plum tree still in bloom, his eyes sparkling.

He sensed that the plum tree also contained spiritual wisdom.

Clearly, over the years, this plum tree had also developed spiritual wisdom.

The old plum tree, seeming to sense the daunting aura from Lu Qing, rustled its branches, as if bowing in salute.

Seeing this, Lu Qing knew it was expressing goodwill, so he smiled and sat with his master at the stone table beneath the plum tree.

"Master, is your injury better?"

"After eating the Spirit Food you made last night and resting overnight, the injury is almost healed," the elder doctor said with a smile.

"Glad to hear that. I’ll cook more for you when I have time," Lu Qing responded joyfully.

After chatting for a while, Lu Qing took out a Jade Bottle.

"Master, during my trip, I gained some fortune. Please see if it’s suitable for you."
