I Can See Through Everything

"So, are you thinking of selling this ginseng?" the old doctor asked.

"Not necessarily, I just want to know its value so I can have an idea," Lu Qing replied honestly.

The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, ginseng of this age is always in high demand and hard to come by."

"Ginseng can replenish energy and blood, strengthen the body, and even save lives in critical moments."

"Those nobles in the city, martial artists, are always eager to get their hands on such a precious herb."

"Although the roots of this old ginseng are slightly damaged, it doesn't affect its medicinal properties."

"In fact, I just tested it. Perhaps because of the unique environment where it grew, this ginseng's medicinal effect is even stronger than typical hundred-year-old ginseng."

Hearing this, Lu Qing recalled the red glow on the ginseng.

The special quality mentioned by his master might be due to this.

"A typical hundred-year-old ginseng can sell for at least a thousand taels of silver in those big cities."

"This one might be worth even more, but I can't say exactly how much."

A thousand taels of silver! Ten times the price of a Red Moon Carp!

Hearing this number, despite being mentally prepared, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel his heart race.

"Are you tempted?" The old doctor laughed, seeing the shocked expression on his disciple's face.

"A little," Lu Qing nodded.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a thousand taels of silver?

Especially a country boy like him.

"However, despite its high value, I still suggest you don't sell it for silver," the old doctor suddenly changed his tone.

"Why, Master?" Lu Qing was puzzled.

"You want to practice martial arts, don't you? This ginseng is one of the best auxiliary medicinal materials for a martial artist at the Qi and Blood level."

"Didn't I say before that I wanted to prepare some Qi and Blood Nourishing Soup for you? This hundred-year-old ginseng, if used properly, is even more effective than that soup."

"With its help, it will be much easier for you to enter the Qi and Blood level."

"I can refine it into Blood Replenishing and Energy Boosting Pills for you. Once you master Health Nourishing Boxing, taking one pill a day will help you step into the Qi and Blood level in no time."

Such good fortune?

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Lu Qing was overjoyed.

He was worried about how to quickly enter the Qi and Blood level, and now a solution had appeared.

"So, do you still want to sell this ginseng or keep it for yourself?" the old doctor asked.

Lu Qing didn't hesitate, "Please help me refine it into pills, Master!"

"Oh, have you thought it through?" The old doctor looked at him.

"Yes, silver is valuable, but it's ultimately an external thing. My own abilities are more important," Lu Qing said.

"It's good that you have this awareness," the old doctor nodded with satisfaction. "In this world, nothing is more important than your own abilities. Without abilities, no matter how much silver you have, you won't be able to keep it."

"Since you've decided, I'll refine the Blood Replenishing and Energy Boosting Pills for you in the next couple of days."

"Thank you, Master!" Lu Qing said happily.

"But don't be too happy yet," the old doctor dampened his spirits. "Even if I make the pills, you won't be able to take them until you master Health Nourishing Boxing."

"Otherwise, taking the pills will just waste their medicinal properties."

Mastering the boxing?

Lu Qing's heart stirred. "Master, yesterday after I went back, I practiced the boxing you taught me and seemed to grasp some key points. Could you check if I'm on the right track?"

"Oh, you've understood something so quickly?" The old doctor was intrigued but didn't take Lu Qing's words seriously, thinking he had just familiarized himself with the moves.

"Show me what you've learned."

"Yes, Master."

Lu Qing immediately began to practice the first to ninth forms of Health Nourishing Boxing.

At first, the old doctor watched with a smile.

But as Lu Qing moved from the first to the second form, the old doctor's smile faded, replaced by surprise.

He noticed that Lu Qing's movements were not only precise and smooth but also carried a unique flavor.

As the creator of Health Nourishing Boxing, the old doctor knew what this meant.

It signified that Lu Qing had not only mastered the moves but had also infused them with his own understanding.

In other words, he had truly grasped the form and begun to internalize the technique.

But how was this possible?

It had only been a night since he taught Lu Qing the boxing!

How could he have progressed this far?

The old doctor was shocked.

Yet, more surprises awaited him.

Lu Qing continued to practice each form with fluidity and ease.

After finishing the ninth form, he started again from the first, practicing repeatedly.

After nine cycles, he finally stopped, exhaling a breath of stale air, his face glowing with health and vitality.

The old doctor stood there, shocked and speechless.

"Master, did I make any mistakes?" Lu Qing asked, full of energy.

"Nine cycles to return to the source, energy and blood thriving, spirit renewed. This means you've fully mastered Health Nourishing Boxing."

The old doctor seemed to be talking to himself, not hearing Lu Qing's question.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing the old doctor like this, Lu Qing was a bit worried. Had he scared his master with his display?

"A Qing, be honest with me!" The old doctor's face suddenly turned serious, startling Lu Qing. "What happened when you practiced yesterday?"

"What happened?" Lu Qing thought for a moment. "Yesterday, as I practiced in the courtyard, I suddenly felt many insights flooding my mind. My body followed the key points you taught, and before I knew it, I felt completely refreshed. The first to ninth forms became much clearer to me, no longer obscure and difficult."

What Lu Qing described was his state after using his ability, though he omitted the existence of the ability.

However, to the old doctor, his words were like thunderclaps.

"Epiphany... it was an epiphany," the old doctor murmured.

He looked at Lu Qing as if he were a rare treasure.

"I took in a disciple on a whim, and it turns out he is a martial arts prodigy who could achieve an epiphany on his first try?"
