"Precelestial Realm?"
The old doctor's face showed a mysterious expression.
"This is a miraculous realm, but you'll need to experience it yourself to understand."
With that, a powerful aura emanated from the old doctor, enveloping Lu Qing.
In an instant, Lu Qing felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on him.
The surrounding space seed to solidify, making it impossible for him to move even a finger.
Lu Qing's eyes widened in horror.
Though he knew his master wouldn't harm him, the suffocating feeling of being in the depths of the ocean still terrified him.
Fortunately, the aura was only present for a mont. The old doctor withdrew it after letting Lu Qing feel the pressure of the Precelestial Realm.
Lu Qing felt a sudden relief, the previous suffocation disappearing as if it had been an illusion.
As for Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, they remained bewildered, completely unaffected, not sensing their master's aura at all.
But Lu Qing knew it wasn't an illusion. Just now, he truly couldn't move.
If his master had wanted to kill him, it would have been as easy as a thought.
"Master, what was that just now?" Lu Qing asked hastily.
Although he had inherited knowledge about the Precelestial Realm, the inheritance couldn't cover every detail about it.
Li Weitian was not one to be overly verbose.
"Just now, what I displayed was the unique pressure of the Precelestial Realm, the Precelestial Pressure," the old doctor explained.
"A Postnatal warrior who has tempered their soul power to perfection, upon breaking through to the Precelestial Realm with the help of the laws of heaven and earth, will have their soul power rapidly grow in strength, gaining considerable power."
"This soul power, combined with the aura of the Precelestial Realm, forms a unique pressure. While it cannot directly harm people, it can intimidate a warrior's mind. Postnatal warriors, unless they have great determination and perseverance, find it hard to break free from this intimidation."
"Even if so warriors can resist the intimidation, under such pressure, their mind would be clouded, and their body would feel heavy, making it difficult to exert more than thirty or forty percent of their strength."
"Precelestial Pressure," Lu Qing murmured.
At this mont, he finally felt a hint of the power of the Precelestial Realm.
Not to ntion the Precelestial body's strength and the mysterious Precelestial Qi.
Just the Precelestial Pressure alone could give a natural advantage when facing Postnatal warriors.
"Indeed, so Ah Qing, if you encounter a Precelestial Realm in the future, you must be cautious and never provoke such an existence lightly."
The old doctor knew his disciple had extraordinary talent and might reach the Internal Organs Realm soon.
Exceptional talent often ca with strong self-confidence.
He didn't want Lu Qing to encounter a Precelestial Realm and provoke their displeasure due to a lack of respect.
If that happened, no matter how amazing the talent, it would be powerless against absolute strength.
"Can't provoke the Precelestial Realm?" Lu Qing scratched his head. "Master, if you had said this a few days earlier, it might have been useful, but now, it's already too late. It seems I've already offended a Precelestial."
"What do you an?" The old doctor was startled.
"A few days ago, while I was gathering herbs in the mountains, I ca across Master Ma being pursued..."
"I suspect those two evil pursuers of Mrs. Wei and her family are from the force that has been oppressing the Wei family in the county. I killed them, and the force behind them likely won't let this go."
Lu Qing detailed the events of a few days ago, when he saved Mago and Mrs. Wei's mother and son, including killing the two disciples of Tian Cang Sect.
He didn't ntion it earlier because his master hadn't broken through yet, and it would have been useless to say anything.
Moreover, he didn't want to worry his master during his critical breakthrough period.
Now that his master had finally broken through to the Precelestial Realm, he could reveal the incident.
"This..." After hearing Lu Qing's story, the old doctor fell silent.
He hadn't expected that just after warning Lu Qing not to provoke a Precelestial, Lu Qing would reveal that he had already done so, and it might even be an experienced Precelestial expert.
But he couldn't say Lu Qing was wrong.
Because he knew that if he had encountered such a situation, he would also intervene. He couldn't just stand by and watch Mago and Mrs. Wei be hard.
At most, he wouldn't have killed those two.
But he understood his disciple's capabilities.
Not long ago, Lu Qing was only at the beginning of the Tendons and Bones Realm.
Facing two such powerful enemies, surviving was already a miracle.
To ask him to show rcy would be unrealistic.
So, for a mont, the old doctor didn't know what to say.
"Master, did I do sothing wrong?" Lu Qing asked nervously.
The old doctor sighed, "You were saving lives, how could it be wrong? It's just our bad luck that we encountered such a situation. It's not about right or wrong."
Thinking that his disciple had offended such a powerful existence, the old doctor suddenly felt his breakthrough wasn't so joyful anymore.
If he hadn't broken through, he wouldn't understand the power of the Precelestial Realm and wouldn't be so worried now.
"Master, now that you are in the Precelestial Realm, shouldn't you be less afraid of other Precelestial beings?" Lu Qing asked.
"How can your master compare with other Precelestial beings?" The old doctor smiled bitterly. "I'm just a healer, not skilled in combat. How could I match those who have been fighting and killing their entire lives?"
"Even with the legacy left by Senior Li Weitian?"
The old doctor paused.
After a mont of silence, he said, "That's the only option. But the thods left by Senior Li Weitian are profound. I don't know if I can learn them."
"You definitely can, Master! If you could reach the peak of the Internal Organs Realm with just the Health Nourishing Boxing, you can surely master Senior Li Weitian's techniques!" Lu Qing flattered.
"Stop trying to butter
up. I know my limits," the old doctor scolded with a smile.
But at this point, he had no choice but to try.
He would see if he could learn one or two simple techniques from the legacy of Senior Li Weitian.
Not to defeat that mysterious Precelestial but to gain more strength to protect his disciple and the villagers.
Seeing that his master planned to practice the legacy, Lu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew his master's character.
Without so pressure, even after a breakthrough, his master would rather study dicine than quickly practice the techniques left by Li Weitian.
As for whether his master could learn the techniques in the Jade Slip, Lu Qing had no doubts.
His master, without a martial arts background, had deduced the refined Health Nourishing Boxing from a fragntary technique.
He had comprehended the Precelestial Law left by Li Weitian, tempered his soul, and stepped into the Precelestial Realm in a short ti.
From any angle, his master was a true martial arts genius.
Only his dedication to dicine had clouded his perception of his own talent.
"Master, I know that the Precelestial Qi cultivated by Precelestial beings has attributes. What is your attribute, Master?" Lu Qing asked.
"My Precelestial Qi has no attribute."
To Lu Qing's surprise, the old doctor shook his head.
Seeing Lu Qing's confusion, the old doctor smiled.
He knew his disciple, despite having inherited many Precelestial techniques, only had a superficial understanding of the realm.
After all, the path of cultivation is profound and mysterious. Many things can't be fully understood without personal experience.
In simple terms, without reaching the realm, knowing more won't lead to complete understanding.
"It's not hard to understand."
"The human body is wondrous, filled with mystery. Except for those with extraordinary talents or natural disabilities, a normal person's body contains all five elents, cycling continuously, making one healthy and vigorous, free from illness. How could there be any attribute division?"
"The attributes of Precelestial Qi ntioned in the classics are not inherent but are the result of the cultivator's deliberate actions."
"The initial Precelestial Qi cultivated in the Precelestial Realm is attribute-less, like the pure and blank state of the world at the beginning of ti."
"Only through subsequent cultivation, with the cultivator using their soul power to rge with the Qi and operate the technique, can they selectively refine the external elental Qi, giving their internal Precelestial Qi an attribute."
Having reached the Precelestial Realm, the old doctor's understanding of the cultivation knowledge in Li Weitian's Jade Slip beca much clearer.
He explained his insights to Lu Qing.
"So, Master, the choice of technique after breaking through to the Precelestial Realm determines the attribute of the Precelestial Qi?" Lu Qing understood.
"Exactly. Everything in the world can be classified into the five elents, and so can the elental Qi. The choice of which elental Qi to refine determines the attribute of one's Precelestial Qi," the old doctor nodded.
When his soul power erged from his Baihui Acupoint, sensing the colorful Qi of heaven and earth, the old doctor's understanding deepened.
"Is it possible to refine all five elents of Qi and have one's Precelestial Qi contain all five elents?" Lu Qing wondered.
"In theory, yes, but human energy is limited. Refining one type of Qi already consus most of a Precelestial cultivator's ti. How could they have the energy to refine more types?"
Lu Qing realized the truth.
Greed often leads to failure. Being overly ambitious usually
results in achieving nothing.
If refining all five elents were easy, there wouldn't be attribute divisions in Precelestial techniques.
"So, Master, which technique do you plan to practice?"
Lu Qing knew that the legacy left by Li Weitian included several Precelestial techniques with different attributes. He wondered which one his master would choose.
"I haven't decided yet. I need to think it over," the old doctor shook his head.
After staying in the Halfway House for a while, gaining more insights about the Precelestial Realm from his master, Lu Qing finally left with Xiao Li and Xiao Yan.
His master needed ti to seclude himself and process his breakthrough. Lu Qing didn't want to disturb him for too long.
Before leaving, the old doctor also warned Xiao Li not to cause trouble by relying on its invisibility.
Earlier, while Xiao Li and Xiao Yan were playing hide and seek in the yard, Xiao Li used its invisibility again.
But the old doctor, now in the Precelestial Realm, saw through Xiao Li's invisibility imdiately, confirming Lu Qing's previous suspicion.
Xiao Li's invisibility couldn't fool a Precelestial's senses.
The old doctor's warning was also a subtle reminder to Lu Qing not to rely too much on Xiao Li's ability for risky actions.
Upon returning from the Halfway House, Xiao Li and Xiao Yan started feeling drowsy.
Lu Qing knew this was because they had absorbed a lot of the elental mist during his master's breakthrough.
The elental mist, condensed from the laws of heaven and earth, was rich in life energy, comparable to Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, highly beneficial to the body.
Ordinary people who absorbed even a small amount would experience significant health benefits.
The two little ones had absorbed a lot, so they felt sleepy as their bodies couldn't imdiately process all the energy and needed to sleep it off.
Even Lu Qing felt a surge of energy within him, making him restless.
He let the two little ones rest on the bed and, after they fell asleep, went to the yard to practice Health Nourishing Boxing.
As he moved, the energy from the elental mist began to flow within him.
He guided the energy, gradually integrating it into his blood, tendons, and deeper parts of his body.
His body quickly grew stronger and more vibrant.
This ti, Lu Qing practiced for a long ti.
He repeated Health Nourishing Boxing over and over.
From the blazing sun to the setting dusk.
If the villagers hadn't often seen him practicing in the yard, they might have thought he had gone mad.
But even so, seeing him practice for so long made so villagers worry about his health.
Grandpa Zhang from next door ca out many tis, looking at Lu Qing with concern from outside the yard.
If he hadn't seen that Lu Qing looked fine, he might have interrupted him.
Lu Qing paid no mind to these concerns.
Completely imrsed in his practice, he was in a unique state.
Finally, as the last bit of sunset faded, Lu Qing's body shook, and his tendons and bones started to crackle.
