Immortal Father
Chapter 136 - 136 58 Yun Zhongzi Visits Wanyun Sect

136: Chapter 58 Yun Zhongzi Visits Wanyun Sect 136: Chapter 58 Yun Zhongzi Visits Wanyun Sect ‘It’s always more comfortable to return to the sect.’

Li Ping’an entered the slick and thin Mountain Protection Array and looked at the familiar peaks, his Dao heart radiating a satisfying sense of contentment from the inside out.

Given that Elder Xu was of such high seniority, the Wanyun Sect’s reception standards naturally couldn’t be low.

The Sect Leader was already waiting above the main peak with a few elders, and Li Dazhi, who had been staying in Castcloud Hall, had changed into a widened blue Daoist Robe and stood to the right of the Sect Leader.

Upon seeing Li Ping’an, Li Dazhi immediately raised his eyebrows.

The father and son exchanged glances, and Li Ping’an chuckled sheepishly, taking advantage of the Sect Leader’s conversation with Elder Xu to stealthily slip back to his cave dwelling.

As for the subsequent discussion of contributions and rewards within the sect, he would leave it to his father to take care of it.

In Li Ping’an’s view, this was probably the benefit of having both father and son in the same sect.

Ningning Mu also wanted to slip away with her senior brother, but she was called by an external elder to the Mundane Affairs Hall to receive her reward; Li Ping’an, riding on his sword sheath, returned alone to Unnamed Peak.

He had just bypassed two mountain peaks when he heard a familiar call:

“Ping’an, Ping’an!”

“Deacon?”

Li Ping’an’s Dao heart felt a slight joy as he turned to look behind him, not far away.

Wei Yanzhi peeked his half body out of the forest at the peak, waving continuously at Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but smile wryly and rode his sword sheath down into the woods.

“Deacon, isn’t this our own sect?

Why are you still sneaking around like this?”

“Ah!”

Wei Yanzhi, who appeared even younger than two years ago, was full of complaints:

“Your Cloud Boat flies too fast; I’ve been chasing after it all the way!

I only caught up at the entrance to the sect!

“I’m currently assigned to patrol the East Sea market towns, and without a summons from within the sect, I can’t just return at will.

If Elder Yansheng sees me, he’ll scold me again.”

Li Ping’an sighed, “Elder Yansheng is currently at the East Sea; it seems he’s about to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

“Really?”

Wei Yanzhi’s expression went through a series of changes, first perking up with excitement and then growing hesitant, before staring intently at Li Ping’an:

“Did you give him guidance?”

“It really has nothing to do with me!”

Li Ping’an looked up and sighed deeply:

“It’s not because of anything I said; it’s because of what you all heard.

“Now that’s great, once Elder Yansheng returns, I might as well become a human-shaped Enlightenment Stone, given how many seniors stuck at their bottlenecks might come to me for discussion.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.”

“Hahaha!”

Wei Yanzhi laughed heartily, uninhibited.

Li Ping’an narrowed his eyes and sized up Wei Yanzhi with a curious look: “Deacon, it’s been two years; how come you haven’t broken through even a minor realm?”

The laughter of a certain Ninth Grade Immortal abruptly stopped, and he said glumly: “Aren’t you misunderstanding the cultivation of Immortals?

Do you think everyone can have a breakthrough just by crunching numbers like Ancestor Dazhi?

I even suspect he’s the reincarnation of a Great Power from ancient times; his immortal power seems to grow constantly all by itself!”

Li Ping’an grinned lightly, inviting Wei Yanzhi to sit in his cave dwelling.

But Wei Yanzhi shook his head vigorously and hurriedly said: “Elder Xiaoyue has asked me to deliver something to you, and then I must rush back.

Staying too long in the sect would also be neglecting my duties.”

He took a square brocade box from his sleeve and stuffed it directly into the arms of Li Ping’an, who had no time to say anything before Wei Yanzhi waved his hand and escaped directly.

In the two years they hadn’t seen each other, Wei Yanzhi’s Escape Technique had remained at the level of a ten-thousand-mile escape, without any progress.

These gifts from Elder Xiaoyue…

Li Ping’an opened the brocade box and saw that it was neatly filled with nine storage rings.

The first ring contained several medium-grade Spirit Stones.

——Medium-grade Spirit Stones of the same volume contain about twice as much Spiritual Energy as low-grade ones, and they contain a bit of ‘Spirit Core.’ The value of the same volume is five times that of low-grade Spirit Stones, and their exchange rate is also in the range of one to four to one to six.

The second and third storage rings contained various types of Treasured Materials for Artifact Refining, some of which were materials that Li Dazhi often exchanged at Nourishing Clouds Hall.

This Elder Xiaoyue was really thoughtful.

The fourth ring contained several jade slips, which are rare Tomes for collection in the East Continent market.

The fifth and sixth rings were filled with both men’s and women’s clothing and robes in various styles.

The men’s robes were mostly old-fashioned, while the women’s fairy dresses were diverse, ranging from a red ‘imitation’ dress to a simple and elegant long dress that could wrap tightly from head to toe, and even many, in Li Ping’an’s view, that could bear the name ‘tasteful’ skirts.

‘Are they playing so fancy in the East Continent market town?’

Li Ping’an chuckled silently, then looked through the last three storage rings and found a bunch of medicinal herbs, a bunch of precious poisons, and a Jade Talisman inscribed with [Five Luo Light Smoke Secret].

Holding the Jade Talisman in his hand, Li Ping’an rode his sword sheath towards his own cave dwelling, his Spiritual Sense carefully probing into the Talisman.

“Advanced smoke Escape Technique?”

Li Ping’an’s eyes brightened, followed by a deep sigh in his heart.

His preferences indeed seemed to be well understood by Elder Xiaoyue.

Well, he would later continue to mention to his father the idea of remarrying, putting in a good word for Auntie Xiaoyue.

The total value of the gifts from his Auntie Xiaoyue was indeed not insignificant, which also indirectly indicated that Xiaoyue, this ‘dealer,’ had made a lot of money in the past two years, and the percentage she took out was also acceptable to the sect.

“Is this what Elder Xiaoyue means?”

“If she’s not trying to get into my father’s good graces, why else would she go to so much trouble studying my preferences?”

After mulling this over in his heart for a while, Li Ping’an had already made a plan.

He would paint three paintings for Elder Xiaoyue and hang them in a prominent place in his father’s ‘office.’
