Chapter 467: Chapter 312
Lu Qing looked over and found that not far away, a group of people had gathered to chat idly.
Their attire suggested they were all traveling rchants.
He was surprised that news from the Holy City had spread so quickly across Central State.
But then he thought of the Jade Token Lin Zhirui gave to Master and felt he understood.
With the recovery of spiritual energy, many Cultivation thods had begun to slowly reveal themselves.
Transmission items like Communication Jade Tokens were likely kept in the storage of many Major Sects.
Even if not, there were always so peculiar flying creatures with incredible speed that could swiftly deliver ssages.
The white vortex atop Holy Mountain that day was simply too vast and shocking.
It was normal for such news to spread across the entire Central State in such a short ti.
He thought for a mont and then walked over.
“Gentlen, this young one offers his greetings.”
The group of people, in the midst of a lively conversation, suddenly heard a voice as smooth as pearls and jade, causing them to pause and then turn their heads.
Upon seeing Lu Qing, they were all taken aback.
At that mont, Lu Qing, having survived the Heavenly Tribulation and stepped into the Innate Realm and practiced Body Cultivation, had beco a true Cultivator.
Though he had retracted all his aura, the transcendent quality inherent to a Cultivator was still inescapably evident.
This imdiately caused a profound stirring in the hearts and spirits of the crowd of rchants.
Seeing the extraordinary Lu Qing, everyone imdiately understood that his identity must be far from ordinary.
He was either a direct descendant of a major family or a disciple of a Sect.
They dared not neglect him and hurriedly returned the greeting, “Not at all, not at all, Young Master, we offer our greetings.”
“Gentlen, I overheard you discussing the phenonon in the Holy City and the matter of the white wolf and white elephant, which I find quite interesting. May I be so bold as to ask for more details?”
Lu Qing asked politely.
“Of course, Young Master, please take a seat.”
Soone imdiately offered their stool and invited Lu Qing to sit down.
Lu Qing didn’t decline and took a seat.
“May I ask what matters the Young Master would like to inquire about?” soone asked.
“Regarding the matters of the Holy City, I too had heard so things on my way over.
But the story of the white wolf and white elephant ntioned by these two gentlen earlier is new to .
Could the gentlen please enlighten further?”
“Ah, so the Young Master is interested in the matter of the Mutant Beasts.”
“Indeed, I have always been interested in the strange and supernatural occurrences of the world.”
“Speaking of the white wolf, now that is a formidable creature…”
The rchant, naturally talkative and fond of showing off, now found a distinguished young man inquiring of him.
His vanity swelled, and he began to speak animatedly.
“So days ago, it is said that a white wolf appeared in the north of Central State.
This wolf was ten feet tall, completely white, devoid of any stray hair.
Not only did it move as fast as the wind, but it also commanded a pack of wolves with military precision.
A few days ago, the white wolf led its pack to attack a small city in the north.
That city was under the jurisdiction of the Guiyuan Sect, which then dispatched many elders and elite disciples to exterminate it.
But not only were they unable to capture the white wolf, they were injured by it and allowed the wolf to escape with ease.”
Despite having heard a brief account earlier, the crowd was still shocked when they heard the details.
“As for the white elephant, that was sothing I heard about in a small town to the south.”
Another rchant who had been to the south began to share his story.
“The townsfolk there said that recently, a white giant elephant appeared in the mountains.
This white elephant was imnsely large, almost half the height of a small mountain.
Soone claid to have seen it use its long trunk to easily shatter boulders as large as small mountains.
Fortunately, the white elephant was not aggressive and had no intent to harm, which allowed the townsfolk to escape disaster.”
“A white elephant half the height of a small mountain, how tall must that be?!”
The crowd was shocked once again, finding it hard to imagine the true scale of the white elephant.
Lu Qing fell into thought.
If what the two n said was true, it ant that the changes occurring in the world since the spiritual energy recovery were even more intense than he had imagined.
The white wolf and the white elephant spoken of by the rchants were clearly Mutant Beasts born from the changes in the world.
It was uncertain whether they were spiritual beasts born naturally like Little Li or had undergone so fortuitous transformation.
Thinking this, Lu Qing smiled and said, “Thank you both for the insightful stories. By the way, I noticed this gentleman’s legs seem to be troubling him?”
Lu Qing referred to the rchant who had spoken of the white elephant.
He was a middle-aged man with graying temples who first appeared startled, then showed a look of surprise.
“How did the Young Master discern this? Indeed, so days ago, I was hurrying through the wilderness when suddenly a heavy rain began, which did not stop for several days.
In my anxiety, I braved the rain and traveled for two days.
Since then, I’ve been having issues with my legs.
At night, they pain terribly, but the pain lessens significantly during the day.
I have consulted physicians, to no avail.
Thankfully, I can manage to walk during the day, otherwise, I fear I would have to give up my livelihood.”
“You see, when you were caught in the rain that day, a cold evil entered your body and lodged in your feet, unable to be dispersed.
It is during the night, when the chill is heavier, that it resonates with the cold evil inside you, intensifying the malicious cold energy.”
Lu Qing explained carefully.
At the sa ti, he figured that the heavy rain the man ntioned was probably the sa Cold Evil Rain they encountered just after leaving Jiuli Village.
