Chapter 389 - 389 142 Ping'an Calms the Sea Artifact Refining Causes Ripples_2

389: Chapter 142: Ping’an Calms the Sea, Artifact Refining Causes Ripples_2 389: Chapter 142: Ping’an Calms the Sea, Artifact Refining Causes Ripples_2 This scripture was widely circulated in the main towns and sects of the East Continent.

Numerous Qi Cultivators chanted this scripture, occasionally having epiphanies and beginning to retreat for breakthroughs; the name “Grand Enlightenment” had already far surpassed that of the Grand Wealth Immortal.

Yet when this scripture fell into the hands of Li Ping’an,

Li Ping’an felt as if he had plunged into darkness, his Primordial Spirit stabbing its own eyes.

The feeling was indescribable, as if…

a boomerang he had thrown out half a month ago, that had been spinning for half a month, suddenly appeared, magnified a hundredfold, and hit him right in the back of the head.

What was going on here!

Was he trying to achieve enlightenment before the Western Sect?

After a simple investigation into the development of the situation, Li Ping’an almost wanted to curse.

What the hell!

What the hell was this cultivation world!

Why were there so many jokers in the cultivation world…

Li Ping’an slumped down on a recliner, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds over the East Sea, and couldn’t help but mutter,

“It’s over, I can never shake off this undesired reputation now.”

Ye Zisang, who felt utterly guilty, swallowed and read the scripture embroidered on the golden cloth, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

“This scripture is wonderful!”

Ye Zisang said with a smile,

“Ping’an, you’ve made a name for yourself in the East Continent this time!”

Li Ping’an rolled over from the recliner, switching from lying to prone, his entire body like a piece of seaweed that had lost its purpose.

He could already envision the scene where he shows his face in the town, and a group of cultivators pester him with cultivation problems.

Yun Zhongzi, his teacher, had borrowed his mouth to preach the Dao, making it impossible for him to stay in the Wanyun Sect;

The “Grand Enlightenment Sutra” had spread widely across the East Continent, and he’d soon feel unable to stay there as well!

Li Ping’an lay there in silence for a long time, then suddenly stood up straight and brushed off his sleeves.

Unmoved by hollow fame that dazzles the eyes, firm is the Dao heart that seeks eternal life!

Since things had developed to this point, he decided to fully “convert” the Sea Watch Sect, and then retire after achieving his goal, going into hiding to continue his cultivation and help his father resolve calamities!

Empty fame is but a fleeting cloud, his own plan must not be abandoned halfway!

Ye Zisang asked in a soft voice, “Li brother, what are you going to do?”

“Ye brother, intensify the inquiries into the Sea Watch Sect’s founding patriarch’s lineage, question them every two days!”

“All right, I’ll arrange it now.”

Li Ping’an thought for a moment, then took out a Messaging Jade Talisman to seek help from his father, asking him to send someone with enough ordinary Immortal wine to get a hundred thousand people drunk.

He couldn’t afford anything expensive.

Ye Zisang’s voice held a shaky undertone, mumbling, “Li brother, what are you planning to do?”

“Help the Sea Watch Sect have a good, drunken bout.”

Li Ping’an narrowed his eyes slightly,

“Aren’t they trying to find a way to sever ties with that Vice Hall Master?

“Let them have a session of insulting their masters in a ‘rising against superiors’ venting conference, and cut ties completely with their founding patriarch!”

Ye Zisang’s Dao heart trembled slightly; he felt like Li Ping’an was getting ruthless.

He carefully put away the Divine Cloth in his hand and asked with an awkward laugh, “Li brother, about this…

This is my fault, I truly didn’t expect…”

“No worries, it’s a minor issue.”

Li Ping’an waved his hand and sighed lightly,

“Both praise and slander can destroy a person’s Dao heart, Ye brother, please remember this lesson, and don’t randomly employ the Memory Sphere in the future.”

Ye Zisang readily agreed, “Yes, yes, I will immediately seal all the Memory Spheres!”

Li Ping’an pointed towards the courtyard door.

There, four hands of various sizes and skin tones were dragging four glittering Memory Artifacts.

Ye Zisang rushed over with a grin, shouting, “I didn’t call you over to play around!

Get to work!”

This incited a round of teasing from a group of friends.

Li Ping’an sat back down in the recliner, beginning to draft a series of plans to revamp the Sea Watch Sect.

He intended to use six months to transform the Sea Watch Sect, and then make his getaway!

Er, to retire after fulfilling his duties.

…

After the “Grand Enlightenment Sutra”, Li Ping’an’s cultivation life was generally peaceful.

He hid within the Sea Watch Sect, protected inside by Senior Xu Sheng and two Golden Immortal patrons, and outside by five thousand immortal soldiers as well as the Sea Watch Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, keeping at bay a swarm of ‘flirtatious bees and butterflies’ that came upon hearing rumors.

His father Li Dazhi, after resolving the matter of Dong’an City and returning to the sect, was joined by Yansheng, an elder who sent sixteen true immortals and primordial immortals from the Wanyun Sect, led by Minister Weiyen, to obey Li Ping’an’s commands.

Qing Su, after sending Wen Rou away, also quietly arrived beside Li Ping’an.

She wasn’t worried about Li Ping’an’s safety; she simply missed the feeling of having her disciple around.

With his own immortal nearby, Li Ping’an found it much more convenient to go about his affairs.

As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like possessing a treasure.

Having stayed in the Sea Watch Sect for half a year, and after half a year of close interaction with Senior Xu Sheng, focusing on the craft of puppet refining and improving his skills with magic artifacts, immortal artifacts, and artifact refining,

Li Ping’an’s foundation in artifact refining improved by leaps and bounds.

Xu Sheng didn’t exactly bestow all his knowledge on Li Ping’an, but he desperately wished he could even borrow from the Heavenly Dao to teach Li Ping’an the things he himself didn’t know.

Li Ping’an didn’t mistreat the senior either.

Though he didn’t give away the All-Encompassing Heavenly Work Map directly, he did make sixteen copies of the more esoteric artifact refining methods from it and presented them to Senior Xu Sheng.

When Xu Sheng received these methods, he was so excited that he wanted to swear brotherhood with Li Ping’an on the spot.

Fortunately, Li Ping’an, considering his friendship with Xuntian Xu, tactfully declined Xu Sheng’s offer.

Because of the dilemma in his own cultivation—the suppression by the Heavenly Dao, forbidding him from becoming an Immortal—he could only continue to comprehend the Azure Clouds Great Dao and delve into the mysteries of the second transformation of spirit metamorphosis.

Aside from refining artifacts and cultivating, Li Ping’an didn’t forget to send his regards to his father and Ningning regularly, asking Minister Weiyen to send messages back to the sect once a month.

Of course, Li Ping’an didn’t neglect his ‘official duties’ over the half year either.
