Immortal Father
Chapter 342 - 342 126 Night Visit to Xu Family Temple

342: Chapter 126: Night Visit to Xu Family Temple 342: Chapter 126: Night Visit to Xu Family Temple ‘After facing Aunt Wen Rou head-on, Aunt Xiaoyue must feel the pressure by now, and I’m not sure if it will prompt her to take the initiative to attack Father.’

Li Ping’an hid in his master’s sleeve, this thought crossing his mind, then he smirked to himself in delight.

This time, Father should have no time to urge me to marry and have children, right?

‘Stay calm, stay calm.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, Auntie must continue to work hard.’

Li Ping’an maintained his peace of mind, putting aside his father’s concerns and began to contemplate the next big move he had to make.

Inside the Wanyun Sect, the situation had largely stabilized.

The date of Vice Sect Leader Moyi’s return remained indefinitely distant;

Most of the elders and Peak Masters within the sect maintained a neutral stance, not really caring who would become the next Sect Leader, while a small remainder of the Peak Masters were already staunch supporters of my old father.

Not to mention, Teacher Yun Zhongzi’s ‘fatal attraction’ over the three Golden Immortals within the sect.

With all these influences piling up, Father’s position as the next Wanyun Sect Leader was basically assured.

Li Ping’an’s focus now was solely on one matter.

Transcending tribulation.

When Li Ping’an last rushed to Dong’an City, he actually had no particular plan; he simply thought to mingle with the Demon Cultivators in the market town, especially to make contact with the Happy Valley faction to gather more intelligence.

Coming from a world of information, he obviously understood the importance of intelligence and information.

Now, with the burial of two Blood Fiends from the Blood Fiend Hall in Dong’an City and the deployment of three thousand immortal soldiers from the Eastern Alliance there, how to make good use of these soldiers and Happy Valley’s information was key to the next stage in dealing with the Blood Fiend Hall.

At this moment, Li Ping’an already had many plans in mind, but given the current situation, luring the enemy out was neither a simple nor straightforward task.

‘One must not be impatient; victory will come from stability.’

Qing Su suddenly asked, “Weren’t we supposed to go to Dong’an City?

Why are we heading south?”

“Master, let’s find a place to stop; I will take over the journey,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, “It just so happens that Senior Xu Sheng is with us too, and I would like to visit Brother Xu.”

“Alright,” Qing Su nodded gently, choosing a forest to descend into.

Li Ping’an immediately changed into ‘Mo Wenqing’s outfit, donned a half-face armor, switched to nightwear, and draped a black cloak over himself.

The pendant transformed by Qing Su was hidden between his outer robe and inner lining.

The wooden stand, transformed by the senior Xu Sheng, was still hidden in Li Ping’an’s sleeve, continuously sensing the Dao Charm of the Cangyue Bead and meticulously contemplating the methods of refining it.

Li Ping’an did not even dare imagine what would happen if he brought out the Diagram of All-Encompassing Crafts; what would Senior Xu Sheng’s reaction be…

In essence, the Cangyue Bead was a Storage Treasure.

Although it was a Spiritual Treasure that came with self-preservation capabilities, for an Artifact Refiner, its value was still somewhat inferior compared to the Diagram of All-Encompassing Crafts.

That was the essence of Yun Zhongzi’s Path of Artifact Refining!

It was about the only way for Senior Xu Sheng to seek a breakthrough in the Path of Artifact Refining!

Li Ping’an traveled for half a day, using a dozen different Escape Techniques along the way, amusing Xu Sheng to no end.

“Ping’an,” Xu Sheng communicated, chuckling, “you like using poison and are keen on studying Escape Techniques; you seem a bit different from the righteous folk, ha ha ha!”

Qing Su corrected through transmitted voice, “My disciple is surely of the righteous path.”

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “Master, Senior Xu Sheng is just teasing me.

When have I ever committed an act that goes against heaven and reason?

However, Senior Xu, there is something I must inform you about.”

“What is it?”

Li Ping’an spoke seriously:

“Brother Xu is ranked second among the Demon Cultivators’ Artifact Refiners; having been out there for a thousand years, he also needs to rely on some power to advance his Artifact Refining methods.”

“Ah, I knew about that long ago,” Xu Sheng sighed:

“Actually, I have always known where he is.

I also have some friends in the Demonic Path.

As an Artifact Refiner, you know, people always need you, as they do Alchemists.

“My friends have a wide range of information sources, and they have been helping me keep an eye on him.

“Ping’an, do you know who the number one Artifact Refiner in the Demonic Path is?”

Li Ping’an:…

Don’t tell me you are that ‘Forging God Heart’ from the Ten Thousand Demons Realm!

Fortunately, Senior Xu Sheng laughed, “I also know that Forging God Heart.

He was somewhat of a teacher to me back in the day, but then my refining techniques surpassed his, and the output of my reforging was incomparable to mine.

He became even more eccentric.

Ping’an, do you know about our achievements back then?”

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “I would love to hear more.”

“Back then, the front lines were in need of a batch of Immortal Treasures as weapons.

The skin and flesh of those demons and monsters were tough; only Immortal Treasures could break through their shells.”

Xu Sheng spoke proudly, yet he also gave a sigh:

“At that time, a group of demonic creatures attacked the Forging Bureau, and countless Artifact Refiners were killed or injured, with the bureau losing a third of its workforce.

“Back then, with a single Meteor Hammer and three hundred and sixty-two treasure chests, I spent a year and six months to forge one thousand two hundred and sixty-seven Immortal Treasures!

“Whether it was the quality and quantity of forged weapons or the efficiency in preserving Treasured Materials, I was ranked first in the Forging Bureau!

“Later on, I even received personal hospitality from the Yellow Emperor himself, ha ha ha ha…

But let’s not talk about it any further; old stories are best left untouched.”

“Tsk!”

The young Artifact Spirit of the Cangyue Bead said indifferently, “If you don’t want to talk about it, why be so detailed with the numbers?

It’s hard to forge a Spiritual Treasure with inconsistency between heart and mouth.”

Li Ping’an hastily interjected, “You shouldn’t say such things…”

“Heh heh,” Senior Xu Sheng laughed, “Cang Yue Grandmaster speaks the truth.

With the charm and wisdom like yours, I could study for several eons and still not be able to create anything like it!”

The Cangyue Bead responded, “Hmph, my former master intended to forge an Innate Spiritual Treasure.”

Xu Sheng spoke as if entranced, “Teacher Yun Zhongzi’s Path of Artifact Refining is truly marvelous.

Don’t hide now, let me appreciate it some more.”

Li Ping’an:…

He really shouldn’t have opened that topic!
