Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Dad Must Be Cheating

Lu Ping, who once spent money lavishly, has now become somewhat frugal.

It seems that after Father’s thirty years of secluded cultivation, his temperament has changed somewhat.

Lu Zhiwei thought this in her heart.

In fact, Lu Ping is not truly frugal.

If he knew what Lu Zhiwei was thinking at the moment, he would surely be amused and perplexed.

If I could exit my retreat, unlock the restrictions outside my cave mansion, and retrieve some of the Spiritual Elixirs and Magical Artifacts to give to you, why would I need to hold onto this pair of scythe arms?

Ultimately, the sect is simply too poor.

Meanwhile, the appearance of the Mantis Locust also taught Lu Ping a lesson.

Fortunately, no disciples were lost.

In the future, whenever upgrading resources for the sect, it would be wise to give advance notice and make proper preparations.

After solving the Insect King problem in the Spirit Field, Lu Ping immediately communicated with Lu Yuanshan about the enhancement of the Spirit Field’s tier and emphasized that this matter should be known just between them, not spread around.

After all, enhancing a Tier One Spirit Field to Tier Two in a short time, even the Spirit Rice reached Tier Two, such a mysterious feat is something Lu Ping couldn’t do without the help of a system.

If this kind of news were to leak and fall into the hands of those with ill intent, it might bring trouble to the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Lu Ping understood the idea that "a man is innocent, but becomes guilty by possessing a valuable object."

It was very necessary to remind Lu Yuanshan.

When Lu Yuanshan heard that Lu Ping had upgraded the Spirit Field, he was speechless with surprise for quite some time.

The Cyan Lotus Mountain Spiritual Vein was severely damaged back then, plummeting from Tier Four to Tier One; the sect painstakingly invested vast resources over more than a dozen years to cultivate it back to Tier Two.

Now, Father managed, using who-knows-what methods, to simultaneously upgrade the Spirit Field and Spirit Rice in a snap, instantly reaching Tier Two Lower Grade.

This method... is simply miraculous.

According to a term Father once used, this is "hacking the game," right?

Nonetheless, shocked or not, Lu Yuanshan understood Lu Ping’s concern and solemnly assured that he would keep it confidential.

On the other hand, Lu Zhiwei took away a pair of scythe arms, ready to begin artifact refining.

As the only Artifact Refiner left in the sect, it’s fair to say that Lu Zhiwei could monopolize the entire refining field of Cyan Mountain Sect.

Without her participation, Cyan Mountain Sect couldn’t self-produce Spiritual Artifacts.

And the reason Lu Zhiwei chose the path of Artifact Refining was because at eleven, Lu Ping discovered his youngest daughter’s talent in artifact crafting incidentally.

Discovering this artifact refining talent at eleven was partly because Lu Ping was busy managing the sect and in constant meditation for cultivation, which delayed the discovery.

Moreover, at that time, Cyan Mountain Sect was not lacking in Artifact Refiners.

Being a Golden Core Ancestor, Lu Ping’s connections were still quite good; recruiting a few excellent Artifact Refiners to join Cyan Mountain Sect only required spreading the word, and before long, talents in this area would come to join.

There were even one or two outstanding Artifact Refiners introduced by friends.

Cyan Mountain Sect selectively recruited several outstanding Artifact Refiners to serve the sect.

Since Cyan Mountain Sect had Artifact Refiners serving it and of not low tier, Lu Ping gradually neglected the idea of training his children as Artifact Refiners.

As a Loose Cultivator, he crawled and rolled, having faced life and death countless times, deeply believing in his bones that cultivation level is most important.

Only hard fists are the fundamental of standing firmly in this world.

These Hundred Skills of Cultivation are not things one cannot engage in or learn. The premise is to engage in them after at least reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, having attained a longer lifespan, so as not to delay cultivation.

For these reasons, Lu Zhiwei entered the artifact refining path much later.

When Lu Ping realized her refining talent, he then fostered the idea of guiding her into the Artifact Refining Dao.

Not developing an artifact refining talent would be a waste indeed.

Moreover, as the only daughter, the business of fighting and killing is there for her Golden Core Level father and two elder brothers, isn’t it?

At worst, whoever dares to bully the little girl would be challenging all of Cyan Mountain Sect.

The entire Cyan Mountain Sect was Lu Zhiwei’s backing, her greatest protection.

This was precisely Lu Ping’s former way of thinking, which has led to today, due to Lu Zhiwei entering artifact refining late, her attainment in the field is not high.

However, even so, a Tier One High-Grade Refiner is nonetheless a treasure within the current Cyan Mountain Sect.

The task of refining a Spiritual Artifact using the scythe arms from the Mantis Locust truly couldn’t be done by others in the sect.

It is only dependent on Lu Zhiwei to make an effort.

Upon receiving Lu Ping’s instructions to refine a new Spiritual Artifact for the sect, Lu Zhiwei came to the Artifact Refining Room the second day, prepared to go into secluded cultivation for a few days, focusing on artifact refining.

Even though the refining room of Cyan Mountain Sect hadn’t been used in years, the facilities for refining inside were still very complete and well-preserved.

A slight cleaning would make it usable.

"Little sister, you haven’t refined artifacts in years. This time, Father has tasked you with refining; are you confident?"

Lu Yuanshan opened the long-sealed refining room, having learned from Lu Zhiwei about the instructions given by Lu Ping.

"If you are unsure, I can discuss this with Father, and there’s no rush at this moment. You could brush up on your refining knowledge first before starting again."

Lu Yuanshan felt a bit worried.

Not that he feared Lu Zhiwei might fail in refining, wasting a pair of scythe arms.

But concerned that Lu Ping might blame the little sister afterward for poor execution.

Lu Yuanshan knew about Lu Zhiwei’s intent to restore her Dao Heart, she had mentioned it to him.

However, this method allowing one to restore their Dao Heart was something Lu Yuanshan had never heard of before, and Lu Zhiwei gave a brief description of the entire process.

To sum up, it involved foolishly standing in front of Father’s cave mansion, doing absolutely nothing, eating nothing, with Father offering little guidance or comfort, and her Dao Heart mysteriously restored, becoming more resolute.

Isn’t it astonishing? Certainly quite miraculous.

Father, having secluded himself for thirty years, hasn’t revealed himself yet, but these unordinary, remarkable means are undeniably genuine.

Who knows where Father learned them from?

Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter much, as he is a Golden Core Ancestor, after all. There are too many things that a small cultivator at Lu Yuanshan’s level could not comprehend or articulate.

All in all, no matter how Father acts or how miraculous his methods are, they wouldn’t harm little sister, right?

Thinking like this, Lu Yuanshan felt relieved.

"Don’t worry, big brother."

Lu Zhiwei replied, her voice very gentle.

Though inexperienced in this artifact refining matter, crafting one or two Tier One Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts shouldn’t be too difficult.

She felt warm at heart for Lu Yuanshan’s concern.

"Just going into seclusion for a few days, wait for my good news."

As soon as her words fell, Lu Zhiwei remained silent and entered the refining room alone, leaving Lu Yuanshan wandering outside.

"Let’s hope... my worries are unnecessary."

After lingering for a long time, Lu Yuanshan left.

Waiting for Lu Zhiwei to exit secluded cultivation, he didn’t forget to assign a disciple to guard the refining room, preventing any disturbances to Lu Zhiwei.
