179: Chapter 72 New Additions to the Cave Dwelling, The Treasure of Qing Su【Seven Updates!】 179: Chapter 72 New Additions to the Cave Dwelling, The Treasure of Qing Su【Seven Updates!】 ‘Dazhi, Yun Mo, Ping’an’s receiving of the teachings from his mentor must be regarded as the sect’s top-secret.
If Ping’an himself doesn’t speak of it, you are not to mention it to anyone.’
The nagging voice of Master Kongming still echoed in Li Dazhi’s ears.
Li Dazhi stood tall with his head raised, feeling as if the sky was exceedingly blue, the flowers exceptionally fragrant, his mood so elevated, and his path so impulsive.
Suddenly, a beam of immortal light shone brightly from his forehead.
Li Dazhi raised his hand to suppress the subsequent glow, glancing around like a thief and quietly sighed in relief.
He had broken through again.
A second-order Elemental Immortal, one step closer to the True Immortal Realm;
And just a bit closer to the day when he could travel across the East Continent after reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Speaking of which, Ping’an probably still doesn’t know that Wen Ling’er has joined his cave dwelling, does he?
Li Dazhi chuckled, suddenly feeling a bit guilty, glanced with his immortal sense at the back of Li Ping’an heading to the Daozang Hall, sped up the white clouds beneath his feet slightly, and prepared to return to the Castcloud Hall for seclusion first.
A call came from behind, and it was Elder Yansheng approaching on clouds.
Li Dazhi descended from his cloud and stepped forward to greet Elder Yansheng.
“Elder, what’s the matter?”
Elder Yansheng’s face showed a hint of hesitation, voluntarily moving closer to Li Dazhi and began to whisper in secret.
Li Ping’an had just returned to the Daozang Hall, only to see Gu Qingcheng sprawled over the desk, sleeping soundly, and Yu Yingshu meditating in the corner.
On the desk were placed more than a dozen Jade Talismans, which were the observations of the Demon Race that Gu Qingcheng had organized over the past half-month.
The day Li Ping’an was called to the main hall for a meeting, he had handed over this task to the two of them;
At the eruption of the demon calamity in front of the Immortal Dynasty, the twelve External Sect Deacons rushed back to the Mundane Affairs Hall to take orders, and after the demon calamity was over, they came back to continue helping with the organization of observations.
The deacons had been busy until now, barely finishing organizing the various ‘messages’ that Li Ping’an needed, and had just left two hours ago.
“Brother Gu, Brother Yu?”
Li Ping’an called out with his immortal sense, and Gu Qingcheng’s body shook, then got up groggily with a dazed look in his eyes and a trace of ‘immortal drool’ at the corners of his mouth.
You’re finally back!”
Gu Qingcheng yawned, and his handsome face showed resentment as he gritted his teeth and said:
“You’re in luck, following the Inner Sect Immortals to slay demons in the south, while the two of us were reprimanded by the elders, told to prepare everything you need.
“We’re all Inner Sect Disciples, so why is there such a big difference!”
Li Ping’an repeatedly bowed in thanks.
He wasn’t following Inner Sect Immortals to the south to slay demons;
He had gone to the south to bully demons with a Spiritual Treasure, smoothly passed the test of a top-notch Great Power, and had received the complete legacy of Artifact Refining from this power.
Of course, this matter absolutely could not be spread publicly.
Li Ping’an deeply understood the consequences of the ‘outstanding tree in the forest’; he wanted to continue cultivating peacefully in the Wanyun Sect, waiting until he reached the Elemental Immortal, True Immortal Realm before trying his luck at the Jade Void Palace.
——If he was too weak, going to the Jade Void Palace would be pointless.
Yu Yingshu laughed with a ‘hehe,’ “Why are you complaining, Elder Gu?
If you, with your Clarity Realm, refine a set of assembly-line Magic Artifacts with the Zongyun Huanxing technique, the elders will take notice of you too!
Brother Ping’an has earned his status with his own abilities.
If you’re not convinced, why don’t you challenge him to a duel?”
Li Ping’an couldn’t tell if this Body Cultivator was being sarcastic or deliberately provoking.
Gu Qingcheng glared at Yu Yingshu and said with a forced smile, “We two have finished organizing the second half of the observations of the Demon Race.
Brother Ping’an, please have a look.”
“Thank you both,” Li Ping’an bowed and said, “Please be sure to join me at my cave dwelling, I’ll cook a few small dishes, and we can enjoy a few drinks!”
Gu Qingcheng immediately felt much more pleased, “Sure!
Yu Yingshu wondered, “Brother Ping’an, you can cook too?”
Li Ping’an took out a brocade box, solemnly collecting the Jade Talismans with ample text written on them from the desk, thanked the Elder guarding the Daozang Hall, mounted a flatboat, and took the two men back to his residence.
Yu Yingshu asked, “Brother, what were you doing this half-month?
Didn’t everyone return that same day?”
“I had some insights and went into seclusion for cultivation,” said Li Ping’an with a look of embarrassment.
“Sorry for rushing into seclusion without notifying you both, I’ll punish myself with three drinks later!”
“That’s what you’ve said, we didn’t force you!”
Gu Qingcheng crossed his arms, raised his eyebrow at Li Ping’an, and asked softly, “Brother, how are things going with Priestess now?”
Yu Yingshu pricked up his ears immediately.
Li Ping’an replied earnestly, “Let’s not joke about this among ourselves, I am gradually progressing with Priestess.”
“I’m not joking on purpose.”
Gu Qingcheng cleared his throat, glanced around, and whispered:
“I have a few Senior Sisters who knew I’m on good terms with you and came to me for information, asking if you were considering taking a Dao Companion after becoming an immortal.
“They are all at the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm, all exceptionally beautiful and internally wise and virtuous.
“That’s why I’m asking, if things are going well between you and Priestess, then I would’ve declined them by saying you have a childhood sweetheart as a junior sister.”
Li Ping’an didn’t conceal the truth either and replied through secret transmission, “I have no intention of finding a Dao Companion at the moment; as long as Priestess continues to be interested in me, I will not disappoint her.
If such matters arise again, there’s no need to ask me.”
Gu Qingcheng snapped his fingers, “Got it!
Now I’ll have an answer to give when I return!”
Yu Yingshu appeared regretful, muttering, “I also have a few Senior Sisters who practice Body Cultivation.
Oh, their figures, sigh, are even stronger than mine.
They also came to me to inquire about Brother Ping’an’s matters.”
Li Ping’an and Gu Qingcheng’s foreheads were lined with frustration.
Laughing and chatting, the three had already arrived in front of their own cave dwelling.
