I Can See Through All Things' Information

Lu Qing and Old Doctor Chen stood before the Half Mountain Small Courtyard, watching the Wei Family's people slowly depart.

After a while, Lu Qing said, "Master, this Housekeeper Wei is truly formidable."

Lu Qing genuinely admired the Housekeeper of Wei.

The first time he saw Young Master Wei, his behavior at the large market made Lu Qing believe that the Wei Family would be a domineering clan that liked to bully others with their power.

Otherwise, why would their heir have such a temperament?

But this Housekeeper Wei had significantly altered Lu Qing's perception.

No wonder Ma Gu said that the Wei Family's influence spanned across the State Mansion, reaching even the royal capital.

This could be seen from the Grand Steward's method of handling affairs.

Not to mention the Wei Family Patriarch who commanded his obedience.

Perhaps, this is what truly constitutes a noble and wealthy family.

With such a person residing in the mansion, it was no wonder the Wei Family's development was swift.

"To hold the position of Grand Steward within a prominent family like the Wei Family, one certainly can't be a simple individual."

The elder doctor also sighed a bit.

Even he, who had lived for most of his life, rarely encountered individuals like the Housekeeper of Wei.

Upright and proper, aware that he was winning over people's hearts, yet they still couldn't refuse him.

"Master, what should we do with all this gold and silver?"

Back in the courtyard, Lu Qing looked at the gold and silver, inquiring unavoidably.

The Wei Family's gift of ten thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold wasn't entirely in cash.

Apart from one large box of silver ingots and a smaller box of gold ingots, the rest was converted into silver notes and gold notes, placed in another small box.

Yet, even just this large box of gold and silver was enough to dazzle and bewitch anyone.

It was only because Old Doctor Chen and Lu Qing were extraordinary individuals that they hadn't pounced on these treasures. An ordinary person would have done so upon seeing such wealth.

"Let's take it inside and store it for now."

Old Doctor Chen didn't know how to deal with these items at the moment, so he and Lu Qing carried them into the house to keep them safe.

Gazing at the large and small boxes casually placed in the corner of the storeroom, Lu Qing pondered in his heart.

Nobody would expect that these two boxes contained so much gold and silver.

After casually placing some miscellaneous items on top of the boxes, Lu Qing walked out.

"Ah Qing, regarding the Bone Forging Pill you have, there are some things I need to tell you."

Upon leaving the storeroom, the elder doctor spoke with a certain seriousness.

Lu Qing immediately approached his master, listening respectfully.

"The Bone Forging Pill is an elixir that many martial artists in the Muscle Bone Realm yearn for, true, it can break the limit of those in the Muscle Bone Realm and expand their foundational potential and root bone potential."

"But the potency of this elixir is also extremely powerful. Even an ordinary strong individual in the Muscle Bone Realm may not be able to withstand its strength."

"Therefore, even if you step into the Muscle Bone Realm in the future, do not hurry to ingest and refine this pill. You must wait at least until you've reached Small Success in the Muscle Bone Realm before attempting to refine it."

"Otherwise, if you consume it too early and can't bear its potency, it's very likely that your qi-blood and marrow will burn out, and you'll die."

Hearing of the grave risks in ingesting and refining the Bone Forging Pill, Lu Qing's face became extremely solemn, "Yes, Master, your disciple remembers."

After giving this serious advice, the elder doctor waved his hand, "Now that you remember, you should head back. You've been tired these past few days because of this matter with Young Master Wei. Go back and rest well. For the next few days, there's no need to come help me."

"Ah?"

Lu Qing was at first astonished, then noticing the box held in his master's hand, he quickly understood.

His master had just acquired a valuable scripture and wanted to retreat and study it intently.

Without exposing his master's subtle intention, he replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."

It was exactly what he wanted—to take time to focus on his martial arts.

Recently, Lu Qing had been refining one Blood Nourishing and Qi Boosting Elixir every day, and his Qi and Blood Power had grown extremely fast.

In the past couple of days, he had vaguely felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Holding the thank-you gifts meant for himself and Little Yan, Lu Qing headed down the mountain.

When he got home, he saw Little Yan and Little Li playing there.

Ever since Little Li came to their house, having such a playmate meant Little Yan seldom went out.

She wanted to play with Little Li every day.

Even the time she spent frolicking with her playmates in the village had lessened.

Lu Qing also didn't want her to loiter in front of Housekeeper Wei, lest Little Li's presence be accidentally revealed.

So these days, every time he went to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard, he left Little Yan at home.

After all, with Little Li there and having cautioned Little Li to protect Little Yan, he wasn't worried.

This creature was a Red Light Spiritual Beast.

Unless faced with a Martial Artist at the Internal Organ Realm level, ordinary Martial Artists couldn't bother it at all.

"Brother, you're back!"

Little Yan, who was playing chess with Little Li, immediately shouted when she saw Lu Qing.

Little Li also called out to him.

"Mm, I'm back."

Lu Qing put his things in his room and, upon coming out, saw the chessboard on the table and asked, "Who won more games today?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The chessboard was something Lu Qing had made by carving a piece of wood with a knife.

The chess pieces were simple, just a box of short wooden sticks and a box of small stones.

As for the chess game the two kids were playing, it was what he had taught them, known as Five-in-a-Row in his previous life.

He had taught the two kids chess because one day, while he was reviewing medical texts, the two of them kept playing boisterously in the house, which was too distracting.

He couldn't concentrate on his reading at all.

Even if he got them to quiet down temporarily, before long, they would start playing sneakily again.

To keep them quiet for longer, Lu Qing had the idea to just teach them to play chess.

After all, Five-in-a-Row wasn't difficult and, incidentally, could also help develop their thinking skills.

As expected, the two kids became infatuated with this new thing as soon as they were introduced to it, Little Li included.

These days, whenever they had time, the two kids would start competing in chess.

As for who won or lost, it was a mix, with the main theme being a close match.

Indeed, this time was no different.

Little Yan said happily, "I won more, I won seven games today, and Little Li only won six!"

Then Lu Qing saw Little Li call out, take a small stone from the box with its paw, and place it on the chessboard.

Upon seeing this, Little Yan immediately became dejected, "Now we've both won seven games."

This time it was Little Li's turn to cheer, its ears moving backward, eyes squinting with joy, and tail held high.

Lu Qing: …

The reason why these two little ones had been playing so vigorously lately, often giving him a headache, was no mystery.

With these two's intelligence, they were assuredly akin to Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix, a pair of peerless geniuses.

He decided to leave the two to their games and went to cultivate in the bamboo forest behind the mountain.

For the next few days, since he didn't need to go to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard, Lu Qing didn't leave the house, focusing entirely on cultivation in the bamboo forest at the back.

Feeling close to a breakthrough, he even halted his training with the Four Directions Saber, concentrating solely on practicing Nourishing Body Boxing and refining his Qi and Blood.

Finally, after taking several more Blood Nourishing and Qi Boosting Elixirs, he felt the opportunity for breakthrough on that very morning.
