…

Li Dazhi actually heard this from his master, that Yun Zhongzi, a Great Power from Jade Void Palace, placed great importance on Ping’an.

However, even he, the Grand Wealth Immortal, had not anticipated that Yun Zhongzi could bestow two such invaluable treasures at once…

Although these treasures were not meant for magical combat, each, if taken out, would be enough to completely shake up the artifact refining circles of the East Continent.

The first item that Li Ping’an took out was that treasure bead.

This treasure bead, named Cangyue Bead, was fundamentally a Storage Treasure, yet it was crafted by Yun Zhongzi in the ancient times, its materials sourced from a special Storage Treasure in the Chaos Sea.

The Cangyue Bead had three remarkable features.

The first was its storage properties.

The Cangyue Bead was divided into inner, middle, and outer layers, with the outer layer used for storage, its boundary approximately the size of a lake;—capable of holding a massive amount of treasures.

The middle layer was for storing Spiritual Power, Spirit Stones placed within would be rapidly drained of their Spiritual Energy, and once the Spiritual Energy condensed to a certain extent, it would liquefy;—equivalent to carrying a Spirit Gathering Array with oneself.

The inner layer housed the Cangyue Secret Realm, where Li Ping’an’s Primordial Soul could reside, allowing him to comprehend The Great Dao with peace of mind, and in times of peril, abandon his physical body, letting his Primordial Soul, Primordial Spirit escape into the bead.

The second feature were the dozens of piles of treasures originally stored in the outer layer of the Cangyue Bead.

The good news was, all these treasures, without exception, were ancient and primeval collections of Yun Zhongzi, each extremely precious.

The bad news was, none of these treasures could be controlled without the power of a Golden Immortal.

Clearly, Yun Zhongzi’s approach to Li Ping’an was to cultivate him for the long haul.

The third unique feature was quite formidable.

Li Ping’an tapped on the Cangyue Bead, and a wisp of Immortal light emanated above it, condensing into a youth of about twelve or thirteen years old, with two buns tied on his head.

Artifact Spirit!

And it was personally enlivened by Yun Zhongzi!

When the youthful Artifact Spirit appeared, he bowed to Li Ping’an and said, “Master, do you have any commands?”

“It’s just to show your existence to my father,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, “Don’t mind it.”

“Understood.”

The young Artifact Spirit formally accepted the command with a bow, and then glanced sideways at Li Dazhi, not deigning to give him a direct look.

There was no helping it, for such a treasure’s Artifact Spirit had an innate behavior, with actions centered around their master.

Of course, there were also those rebellious Artifact Spirits that would turn against their master, but they were rarer in number and unlikely to originate from Yun Zhongzi.

The youth returned to the Cangyue Bead, which continued to orbit around Li Ping’an.

In Li Ping’an’s hand appeared several Jade Talismans, as he smiled, “Father, do you want to see?

These are the comprehensive guidelines on artifact refining and the introductory methods left by Teacher Yun Zhongzi.”

Li Dazhi shook his head with a smile, “I’m not interested in that, you said before that setting up an assembly line could earn Spirit Stones for the sect, that’s why I went back to my old profession, otherwise I’d be leisurely cultivating immortality.”

“There’s one more treasure.”

Li Ping’an took a hold of that scroll.

He slowly unrolled the scroll, which appeared blank at first glance, with nothing but mist obscuring the canvas.

But upon closer inspection, one could see in the tiny squares countless designs of various Magic Artifacts and Magic Tools, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Li Ping’an said, “Elder, please appear.”

A wisp of cloud drifted from one side of the scroll, condensing into an old man with white hair, who bowed to both Li Dazhi and Li Ping’an.

The old man said with a smile, “Greetings to the master, and the master’s father.”

Li Dazhi squinted with a smile, scrutinizing the elder for a moment before asking, “Is this also an Artifact Spirit?”

“This is the Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Manifestation Chart,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, “I named it the Myriad Manifestation Chart; previously, Teacher didn’t name this treasure.”

Li Dazhi inquired with a smile, “What’s the use of this treasure?”

The elder introduced himself:

“I am the culmination of the old master’s years of artifact refining methods.

Though this is merely a canvas, it is comparable to a Hall of Dao Treasures; within it are dozens of methods for refining Spiritual Treasures, and over ten thousand methods for refining Immortal Treasures.

“Whatever type of Magic Artifact the young master wishes to refine, he can find the secrets to craft it here with me.

“If the young master acquires certain treasures, provided they are not Innate Spiritual Treasures, I can deduce and offer the young master the secrets to replicate them.”

Li Dazhi paused, instantly realizing the immense value of this treasure.

Wanyun Sect could even transform into a top artifact refining sect of the East Continent!

However, Li Dazhi immediately thought of the consequences of doing so, fearing it would displease the elder Yun Zhongzi, affecting the future development of his son Ping’an.

Li Dazhi immediately dismissed such thoughts and signaled Li Ping’an to put away the two treasures, earnestly advising:

“Ping’an, these treasures are precious indeed, but they can easily attract the envy of others.”

“If you encounter some great trouble in the future, you can use this treasure to block a calamity and use the name of Elder Yun Zhongzi to intimidate the other party, but try not to reveal it in front of others.”

“Sure, dad, don’t worry,” Li Ping’an smiled, “I understand such matters; I’m also planning to keep it from my master for the time being and will slowly explain it to her later…

My master isn’t interested in artifact refining.”

“Sigh!”

Li Dazhi sighed, took a teacup into his hand, and took a gulp of the cool tea.

Li Ping’an had already put away the precious treasure and sat beside his father, smiling, “What’s wrong, dad?

Is there anything troubling you?”

“Human life is too cheap.”

Li Dazhi sighed:

“You are young and adapt to the environment quickly.

My mindset is actually close to that of an old man’s now.

Many of my beliefs can’t change overnight.

“A demon calamity took the lives of hundreds of thousands, their souls were instantly absorbed.”

“These demons should absorb the spiritual energy of heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars to cultivate, but instead, they choose to refine by absorbing the souls of weaker beings, to improve their strength more quickly.

“Sigh!

I’m a bit frustrated that they didn’t let me handle this demon calamity!”

Li Ping’an laughed, “Dad, do you believe in fortune-telling?”

Li Dazhi said, “I didn’t believe in it at first, but now I do…

aren’t we in a world where cultivating immortality is possible?”

“Teacher Yun Zhongzi has done a divination for me,” Li Ping’an said seriously, “According to the hexagram, dad, you have one calamity in your fate, related to the demon race.”

“Ah?”

Li Dazhi’s eyes widened, “Really?

Or are you kidding?”

“It’s true,” Li Ping’an said seriously, “You should avoid two things, one is a blood-colored cloud and the other is a golden arrow.

Other details weren’t revealed by the hexagram.”

“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Li Dazhi laughed, “You don’t need to worry, I won’t go out as a Heavenly Immortal…

ah, that’s not right, I’ll have to leave the sect once after almost a year.”

Li Ping’an immediately became anxious, “Dad, where are you going?”

“To Yuan Sect,” Li Dazhi laughed, “to set up a branch there, probably for about a month.”

“Please make sure to take me with you, Comrade Li!

Li Ping’an’s eyes shone as he grabbed his father’s elbow.

“Dad!

I’ve been waiting for this day for so long!

You have great fortune, they say you find adventures just by stepping outside, picking up treasures from falling off cliffs, and finding opportunities wherever you go!”

“Ah?”

Li Dazhi’s expression was colorful and varied:

“No way!

What could you do at Yuan Sect?

What opportunities could there be?”

Li Ping’an said earnestly, “To learn advanced artifact refining techniques, strengthen ties between our two sects, and make a small personal contribution to the exchange between disciples of both sects.”

“Hahahaha!

Alright, alright!

I’ll take you!”

“And ask my master to come along, and Priest Ningning too,” Li Ping’an smiled, “If possible, I’ll also invite the friend I just made.

We can all share the opportunities as long as we stick close to you, dad.”

Li Dazhi: …

If they were to obtain opportunities, it would naturally require a source for those ‘opportunities’ to arise.

Seeing the way Ping’an was acting, it seems he won’t rest until he has plundered the entire Yuan Sect.

Li Dazhi listened to Li Ping’an’s discourse on the many benefits of great fortune with a smile, his Dao heart stirred with ripples, finding these moments truly warm and gentle.

Unfortunately, the river of time always flows forward relentlessly, and such scenes can only turn into memories stored in the heart.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

Yuan Sect was urging so persistently that Li Dazhi had to plan a trip there ahead of time, expecting to set out in half a month.

Once the itinerary was confirmed, Li Dazhi promptly informed Li Ping’an of the plan.

Li Ping’an immediately reported to his master and notified Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu.

Unfortunately, Yu Yingshu was in closed-door cultivation;

Upon hearing that she could come along for the chance at good fortune, Gu Qingcheng readily agreed.

Li Ping’an also faced a bit of trouble.

Ningning Mu hadn’t come to the cave dwelling in over half a year, and although Li Ping’an had been in closed-door cultivation for that half-year, such ‘abnormal’ behavior still made Li Ping’an somewhat concerned.

“I should go to Caiyun Peak to take a look.”

With this thought, Li Ping’an left Sword Cloud Peak, adjusted the direction of his flying sword scabbard, and slowly descended towards Caiyun Peak.

When great wealth moves, fortune arises naturally.
