I Can See Through Everything

"Ah, Ah Qing."

In the haze, Lu Qing heard a childish voice resound in his mind.

He thought he was dreaming, but the next moment, he felt something was wrong and suddenly woke up.

"Ah, Ah Qing, you're awake."

This time, the childish voice was still there, and Lu Qing knew that he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating—someone was indeed calling him.

However, it was the first time he had heard this voice.

He sat up, turned his head to search for the source of the voice, and finally fixed his gaze on a small figure.

Then, his mouth slightly opened: "Xiao Li?"

"It's me, it's me!" Xiao Li joyfully jumped onto his shoulder. "Ah Qing, I think I can talk now!"

Lu Qing nodded, but his expression was still somewhat blank.

The situation had come so suddenly that even he couldn't quite react.

However, he quickly gathered his thoughts, realizing he was no ordinary person.

"Xiao Li, is it because you consumed the Moon Essence that you can now speak? No, this isn't just speaking—it's soul transmission!"

Lu Qing finally noticed something unusual.

Although Xiao Li's voice was echoing in his mind, her mouth hadn't moved.

Xiao Li tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know. After drinking the Moon Essence last night, when I woke up, I felt like I could talk, but when I called Xiao Yan, she seemed unable to hear me."

Lu Qing was now fully convinced that Xiao Li was using soul transmission, not actual speech.

Soul transmission can only be sensed by those who have also refined their soul power, unless the speaker is extremely powerful.

"Come, let me take a look."

Lu Qing thought for a moment and brought Xiao Li in front of him.

Xiao Li didn't struggle; she too wanted to know what was happening to her.

Lu Qing activated his ability, focusing on Xiao Li's body.

Soon, a faint purple energy emerged from Xiao Li's body.

"Purple?"

Lu Qing was slightly surprised and quickly looked at a few lines of text.

【Mutated Black Night Spirit Lynx: Mutated Precelestial Spirit Beast, Infant, Female.】

【Extremely fast, with sharp claws that can shatter stones and cut through metal, capable of slicing through anything.】

【After refining the Beast Spirit Fruit, its bloodline evolved, transforming into a Precelestial Spirit Beast, awakening its bloodline inheritance.】

【After consuming a large amount of Moon Essence, which contains a trace of the power of rules, its intelligence greatly increased, giving birth to soul power, and its bloodline further evolved, awakening a new divine ability.】

【Dark Stealth: After the bloodline evolution, its talent also transformed into a divine ability. Its fur can distort space, fully merging it into the darkness, hiding all traces.】

【Ruyi Size: A divine ability awakened after consuming a large amount of Moon Essence, allowing it to control its body's size at will.】

【It is said that the Black Night Spirit Lynx loves eating fish but is born with a fear of water, often staring longingly at fish.】

"It actually mutated."

After reading the lines of text on Xiao Li's body, Lu Qing was somewhat amazed.

The Moon Essence truly lived up to its reputation as a tremendous gift from the heavens.

After Xiao Li consumed more than half a bottle, she indeed underwent a transformation.

Not only did she gain soul power, but she also awakened a new divine ability.

"Xiao Li, have you awakened a new ability, similar to the one that lets you enter space?" Lu Qing asked.

"Let me think."

Xiao Li tilted her head, trying hard to recall.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Yes, I seem to have learned a new ability, Ah Qing, let me show you!"

After speaking, Xiao Li jumped to the ground, and a strange aura emanated from her body, suddenly enveloping her in a black light.

The next moment, Lu Qing saw that Xiao Li, who was originally the size of a small lynx, began to grow larger.

Soon, she became as tall as two meters, and her fur also grew longer, resembling black flames burning, looking extremely majestic.

The aura from her body also doubled, making Lu Qing feel a bit of apprehension.

If their room wasn't on the ground floor, the floor might have been crushed under her weight.

"How about it, Ah Qing, am I impressive?" Xiao Li looked down at Lu Qing, proudly asking.

"Ah Qing, what happened? Why did a strong, unfamiliar aura suddenly appear on your side?"

At this moment, the old doctor's voice suddenly echoed in Lu Qing's mind.

"Master, it's nothing, just me tinkering with some new things. I'll explain later." Lu Qing replied with soul transmission.

Upon hearing this, the old doctor didn't ask further.

"Xiao Li, can you restrain the aura on your body?" Lu Qing asked.

Xiao Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll try."

Then, she sensed something, and the aura on her body began to gradually decrease until it was entirely retracted.

"Ah Qing, is this okay?"

"Yes, very well done." Lu Qing nodded approvingly.

He knew that Xiao Li's Dark Stealth divine ability was already an extremely formidable talent that could perfectly conceal all traces.

Naturally, restraining her aura wouldn't be difficult.

"Xiao Li, can you now use the other divine ability to hide your body?"

After seeing Xiao Li restrain her aura, Lu Qing continued to ask.

Xiao Li tried, then shook her head. "No, I seem to be able to use only one ability at a time. But I think I might be able to do it once I'm stronger."

"I see..."

Lu Qing was thoughtful.

It seemed that although Xiao Li had awakened two innate divine abilities, she couldn't use them simultaneously for now.

But that made sense. With her current body, the space-distorting power needed to hide would be enormously demanding.

Xiao Li was still just a Precelestial Spirit Beast, so it was normal for her to be limited.

At this moment, Xiao Li's body also began to shrink back to her usual size.

"Why did you change back so quickly?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.

He thought this little one would show off a bit longer.

"Changing is too tiring. I still prefer staying like this."

Xiao Li jumped onto the bed, lay down, and stuck out her tongue, not wanting to move anymore.

"Does it tire you to maintain your larger form?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, very tiring. Just now was the largest I can get. I can only maintain it for a quarter of an hour. If I get a bit smaller, I can last longer."

"It seems that after you use the Size Ruyi divine ability to grow larger, your strength increases, but so does the energy consumption."

Lu Qing understood.

In essence, Xiao Li's transformation divine ability was akin to a martial artist's explosive secret technique, which allows them to unleash greater power in a short time but at the cost of rapidly increased energy consumption.

But compared to that, Xiao Li's divine ability was far more mysterious.

"In that case, Xiao Li, you shouldn't use this divine ability often and don't casually tell others about it."

Xiao Li's enlarged form, with its terrifying aura, even startled Lu Qing.

Her transformation divine ability could definitely be used as a trump card.

"Okay, I understand."

Xiao Li weakly agreed.

This new ability was so exhausting that she didn't want to use it anyway.

"And don't reveal that you can speak, either."

"Okay~" Xiao Li agreed as well.

Besides Lu Qing and Xiao Yan, she didn't like talking to anyone else.

And Xiao Yan couldn't hear her now, so she would only talk to Lu Qing.

"Brother Lu Qing, are you awake?"

Just as Lu Qing was about to say something, Mago's voice suddenly sounded from outside the room.

"Awake, what's the matter?"

"Our horses seem to have a problem. You might want to come and take a look."

"The horses have a problem?" Lu Qing's heart stirred. "Alright, you go ahead; I'll be right out."

"Xiao Li, you rest for a bit. I'm going out to see what's going on."

After instructing Xiao Li, Lu Qing left the room and headed towards the stable.

When he arrived, he saw Mago standing outside the stable, looking dazed.

"Master Ma, what's going on?"

"Brother Lu Qing, you're here?" Mago snapped out of his daze and quickly moved aside. "Take a look; I don't know what happened last night, but our two horses seem a bit different."

Lu Qing walked closer and looked into the stable, then he too couldn't help but be stunned.

Well, overnight, the two horses had not only grown taller but also had their once grayish fur turned pure white.

They looked ten times more majestic than before.

Most notably, each horse had grown a small white horn on their foreheads, with strange patterns on the horns.

"Brother Lu Qing, are these still our two horses?" Mago asked in disbelief.

Inside the stable, the two majestic horses approached Lu Qing, affectionately trying to nuzzle his hand.

Lu Qing patted their heads and nodded. "Yes, they are still our two horses. Something happened last night while you and Zian were asleep, so you didn't see it..."

Lu Qing briefly explained what happened last night, leaving Mago both amazed and regretful.

He marveled at the strange phenomenon that had occurred and regretted that he had missed witnessing such a wonder due to his exhaustion.

"So, these two horses became like this after drinking the Moon Essence you mentioned?"

Mago asked.

"Yes, but this transformation should be good for them. The Moon Essence benefits all living beings greatly, and it seems their bloodlines have evolved."

"No wonder." Mago suddenly understood. "This morning, I almost thought our horses had run away."

When he came to check on the horses earlier, he was truly shocked.

If he weren't so familiar with the two horses that pulled their cart every day and could recognize some marks on them, he would have thought someone had swapped their horses.

Lu Qing chuckled, patted the heads of the two horses who were still nuzzling him, and activated his ability to look at them.

Soon, a rich red light emerged from the two horses' bodies.

【Dragon-Blooded Steed: A supreme horse that has awakened a trace of ancient dragon bloodline.】

【After consuming the Moon Essence, which contains the power of rules, its bloodline evolved, awakening a trace of ancient dragon bloodline, greatly increasing its strength and endurance.】

【It is said that in all living beings, most contain a trace of ancient dragon bloodline, and once awakened, they can gain the power of a dragon.】

...

"So, their bloodlines really evolved."

After reading the information on the two horses, Lu Qing's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

He had speculated when he saw their transformation.

But the benefits these two horses gained were a bit beyond his expectations.

He hadn't expected them to awaken a trace of the ancient dragon's power, transforming into Dragon-Blooded Steeds.

But this was a good thing.

With these two Dragon-Blooded Steeds, their journey to the Sacred Mountain could be much faster.

"Master Ma, these two horses have had their bloodlines evolve, their strength has increased significantly, and their speed will be faster too. When we set off later, you'll need to be careful," Lu Qing said.

"Don't worry, Brother Lu Qing. No matter how fast they are, I can control them." Mago replied confidently.

He wasn't boasting.

In these past days of daily driving, Mago was confident that his skill in handling horses was at least at the level of a grandmaster.

"Get familiar with them first. These two horses have also grown more intelligent, so they should be easier to handle.

I need to go out for a bit. Once I return and we've had breakfast, we'll set off.

Last night, my master and I discussed it. After setting out, we won't make many stops, aiming to reach the Sacred Mountain as soon as possible."

"I understand." Mago's expression turned serious as he responded earnestly.

Leaving Mago to bond with the two Dragon-Blooded Steeds, Lu Qing left the inn and headed towards Renxin Medical Hall.

"Young Master Lu, you're here?"

As soon as he arrived at Renxin Medical Hall, the young apprentice, who had been waiting at the entrance, brightened up and hurriedly came to greet him.

"You're up so early?" Lu Qing smiled.

"My master instructed me to get up early to wait for you, so I was up as soon as the sky started to lighten.

Young Master Lu, I've prepared the herbs you requested." The young apprentice said eagerly.

"Thank you. By the way, how is the patient from last night?" Lu Qing asked.

"Not long after you left, Uncle Wang woke up and has already returned home to rest," the apprentice replied.

"That's good."

Lu Qing felt relieved and followed the young apprentice into the medical hall, where he saw Doctor Zhao sitting inside.

"Doctor Zhao, you're up early too?" Lu Qing was a bit surprised.

"I always rise early." Doctor Zhao said kindly. "Young Master Lu, did you sleep well last night?"

"Pretty well." Lu Qing nodded slightly. "Doctor Zhao, I'm here to pick up the herbs I ordered yesterday."

"The herbs are ready. Xiaoyi, bring the herbs to Young Master Lu."

"Yes, Master." The young apprentice respectfully responded, bringing out a large bundle from under the counter. "Young Master Lu, these are the herbs you ordered. Please check them."

"No need." Lu Qing directly took the bundle and pulled out his money pouch. "How much in total?"

"Young Master Lu, you're too polite. The herbs you ordered aren't that valuable. The silver you left yesterday is enough to cover the cost, and we even owe you a tael of silver."

Doctor Zhao said warmly.

He then had Xiaoyi take out a tael of silver and handed it to Lu Qing.

"Thank you." Lu Qing accepted the silver without fuss, placed it back in his pouch, and said, "Doctor Zhao, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay long. Goodbye."

"Take care, Young Master Lu."

Unexpectedly, this time, Doctor Zhao didn't try to detain Lu Qing but courteously saw him out of the medical hall.

After Lu Qing left, a figure appeared behind Doctor Zhao.

"Master, why didn't you ask Young Master Lu about the strange phenomenon in the sky last night?"
