Chapter 297: Chapter 219: Missed, Heaven and Earth Transform, Spiritual Energy Emerges
“Why can’t the calculations figure it out?”
Disheveled, staring at the stones scattered on an odd array before him, madness flashed in his eyes.
“Why can’t my divination techniques determine the whereabouts of that Lu Qing and his companions?
Even though the Heaven and Earth Laws are changing, they haven’t completely changed yet. At most, they should only confuse ordinary Prediction Masters’ senses; by reason, they shouldn’t be able to block my Heart Demon Divination.”
Feeling baffled, he looked toward the still heavy rain outside the cave and suddenly had an epiphany.
“Is it because of this chill rain that their tracks have been completely concealed?”
“Indeed worthy of being a Child of Fate, allowing nature itself to shield you and conceal your aura, Lu Qing, the fate on you is so rich it makes one envious!”
“However, the more it is so, the more valuable you are to me. I really can’t wait to devour you.”
A terrifying glint appeared in the disheveled figure’s eyes.
He had an intuition that if he could devour that youth called Lu Qing and strip his fate,
It might prove more useful than consuming a hundred young geniuses. Then, he would become the most fated person at the beginning of the spiritual energy recovery era!
“Wait for it, Lu Qing, you can’t escape my grasp. Since I can’t find your trace, I’ll just go directly to Central State to wait for you.
I don’t believe this heavenly fate can protect you all the time. I’ve killed Children of Fate before, after all!”
A sinister and ruthless voice echoed from within the cave, and the next moment, the disheveled figure had vanished from the cave.
He didn’t know how long the chill rain would last, but he couldn’t wait any longer.
In case Lu Qing reached Central State before him, it would take a lot of effort to find him.
The disheveled figure dashed quickly through the rain.
A strange aura emanated from him, keeping the indescribable chill of the rain at bay.
Though the chill was troublesome, as the Heaven and Earth had just begun changing, both spiritual energy and evil Qi were still too weak to bother someone as powerful as him.
The disheveled figure sprinted all the way toward Central State.
Passing through towns along the way, he did not stop but pressed forward directly.
Soon, he had crossed a stretch of forest, but he was unaware of it and continued on his way.
Lu Qing, who was in the midst of refining the Earth Spirit Pearl, felt a disturbance in his heart and spirit and suddenly opened his eyes.
At the same time, the elder doctor, who was reading a medical book, also looked up.
Little Li’s ears twitched too.
Seeing Lu Qing unmoved, it did not matter and continued to play chess with Little Yan.
The Divine Soul Talisman in the center of Lu Qing’s brow trembled slightly, and the scope of Divine Soul Sensing suddenly expanded outward.
However, it turned up nothing.
A trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Just now, while immersed in refining the Earth Spirit Pearl, he suddenly sensed an extremely evil presence that flashed across the edge of his Divine Soul Sensing.
But when he tried to sense it carefully, that presence had already vanished.
Seeing his master’s expression, he knew he likely hadn’t found the reason for that presence either.
After pondering for a while and failing to understand, and since the presence did not reappear, Lu Qing decided to let it go for now.
Yet, he was inwardly on high alert.
Even though that presence wasn’t very strong, its degree of evil was among the worst he had encountered.
He recalled the words of Mr. Zhi Rui from the Tianji Building, with a great upheaval, devils abound. Could it be that the presence just now was one of them?
Unfortunately, since he was focused on refining the Earth Spirit Pearl, he couldn’t capture that presence immediately. Otherwise, he would have gone out to investigate.
The rain continued for three days before finally stopping completely.
During these three days, no one had come searching for them at the Taoist abbey, which allowed Fang Tao and the others to truly relax.
They knew that the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect must have been blocked by the heavy rain and temporarily lost track of them.
On the fourth morning, sunlight streamed in from outside, bringing great surprise to Lu Qing and the others.
The rain had stopped, which meant they no longer had to be confined in the Taoist abbey and could begin their journey.
“Old Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu, the rain has finally stopped. I think it’s time for us to part ways.”
At this moment, Fang Tao, accompanied by his daughter and disciples, came over.
“Thank you, elder doctor and Mr. Lu, for your healing grace. Xiao Rou is indebted and can only keep this kindness in her heart for future reciprocation.”
Fang Rou bowed deeply to Old Doctor Chen and Lu Qing.
During these three days, under the elder doctor’s acupuncture and Lu Qing’s medicinal meals, Fang Rou’s condition had rapidly improved. Not only were her injuries mostly healed, but she was also able to get out of bed and walk. She was still a bit weak but no longer severely hindered.
“No need for such formalities.” Elder Doctor Chen helped her up. “That you’ve recovered so quickly is also due to your own good constitution. Otherwise, even the best Medicine Stone would not have been effective so quickly.
However, remember, for the upcoming days, you shouldn’t engage in combat and will need some more time to recover completely.”
“Yes, Xiao Rou will remember,” Fang Rou obediently responded.
“Old Doctor Chen, since we indeed have troubles to face, let’s part here. These past few days, we were greatly aided by your efforts. This kindness, Fang will never forget and will surely repay generously given the opportunity.”
