230: 89 Chapter Traveling with the Master_2 230: 89 Chapter Traveling with the Master_2 Li Ping’an smiled and said, “Thank you, Elder.”
“Be careful when you go out,” Elder Yansheng urged, “Do not try to show off your strength or compete for victory.
One person cannot take care of all the injustices in the world, just take good care of yourself.”
Qing Su and Li Ping’an moved very quickly, quietly leaving the sect with the Wanyun Sect Order and left Wen Ling’er to keep watch over the cave dwelling.
As Li Ping’an had instructed, half an hour after his master and disciple had left, Wen Ling’er stood at the entrance of the cave dwelling, quietly waiting with two Messaging Jade Talismans in hand.
Just as Li Ping’an had predicted, it wasn’t long before Li Dazhi hurried over.
Where are you going for your training?
The Western Continent is not our Human Race’s territory.
If you want to train, you should just go to the border of the East Continent and kill some small demons!”
“Elder Ancestor, the young ancestor has already left!”
Wen Ling’er chirped as she skipped forward, her short skirt swaying lightly, and said with a giggle, “This is a letter the young ancestor left for you!”
Li Dazhi glared and scolded, “And you can still laugh!
Why didn’t you stop him?”
“I’m just a maid,” Wen Ling’er pouted, “I’m only in charge of serving tea and water.
You never gave me the authority to discipline the young ancestor, and now you’re blaming me.”
Li Dazhi gritted his teeth and cursed, “You could have still tipped us off!
Do you not understand the concept of tipping someone off?”
“Elder Ancestor, you spoil the child too much!
“Young Master Ping’an is exceptionally intelligent; I’ve never seen anyone more cunning.
“Teacher Qing Su is very powerful, and handling three Heavenly Immortals alone wouldn’t be a problem,
“They are just going out to gain experience, isn’t that a normal thing?
You can’t just keep Young Master Ping’an confined within the sect forever.”
Li Dazhi waved his sleeve:
“Now you’re lecturing me, so impudent!”
He glanced at the Jade Talisman; it contained a simple letter that Li Ping’an had left behind.
After reading it, Li Dazhi felt somewhat reassured.
Li Ping’an had made it clear where he was going and had also outlined the rough route they would take there and back.
The letter from Li Ping’an read:
[Father, my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, perhaps due to an insufficient understanding and grasp of this world.
This time, I have asked my master to escort me to the Western Continent, specifically the southeastern area.
The demons there are not strong, there are many Human Race fortresses, and it’s a region where the Human Race and Demon Race often clash.
I will travel north of the Southern Continent on my way there and south of the Southern Continent on my return.
This trip is just to appreciate the many wonders of this world, and I should return in about three to five years.
Father, please do not worry excessively.
Furthermore, the development of Castcloud Hall can’t always maintain a high position.
After expanding our territory, we should actively adopt a defensive posture, accumulate strength, and also be wary of difficulties from other sects like the Forge-Heaven Gate and the Sea Watch Sect.
Your son, Ping’an, with respect.]
Li Dazhi sighed softly, then glanced at the Jade Talisman in Wen Ling’s hand, asking, “Is this for Ningning?”
“Yes, your daughter-in-law.
She doesn’t even know that Young Master Ping’an has left yet.”
Feeling much better, Li Dazhi took out a storage ring from his sleeve and tossed it to her.
“Give this to Ningning; it’s just something for daily cultivation.
Take one-third of the items inside for yourself.”
I’ll make sure she doesn’t notice a thing!”
Wen Ling’er said with delight.
When she later delivered the letter, she only took some Spirit Stones from the ring and did not touch any other Elixir Pills or Treasured Materials.
After thinking it over, Li Dazhi went to check the small formation he had set up at the rear mountain of the main peak, musing to himself.
For the next three years, should he renew it every three days?
He raised his hand to touch his hair, the corners of his mouth twitching involuntarily.
Did he have to go bald every time his dear Ping’an went out for training?
In the Liuyun Monastery, Niu Qi stretched lazily as he stepped out of his courtyard.
Using his keen hearing, he overheard the discussion among the junior disciples and realized what he had missed.
Li Ping’an had actually visited the Liuyun Monastery?
It was a pity he hadn’t encountered that fellow.
Niu Qi savored the sweetness of the Five Grains Pill, pondering deeply.
He had already sneaked into Wanyun Sect and arrived near Li Ping’an’s stronghold; was there any chance he wouldn’t be able to interact with that fellow and probe his strength and weaknesses?
Niu Qi looked towards the direction of Wanyun Sect’s main peak.
Next, let this king weigh the strength of your Human Race’s sect system!
Even though this body of mine is currently insignificant, with only mediocre potential;
With my lifespan of over thirty thousand years and years of experience roving the southeastern region of the Western Continent, I will surely rise through the ranks in this sect!
The young Niu Qi laughed while holding his sides, attracting the gaze of those around him.
He quickly coughed and ducked his head, hurrying toward the backyard and the mountain spring outside the wall.
Let’s not mention how Ningning Mu felt lost upon receiving that letter;
Nor mention that over the next three years, Li Dazhi really did cast spells every three days to lend his own good fortune to his son, to the point where his hair became increasingly sparse, almost to the verge of ‘brilliance.’
Speaking only of Li Ping’an and Qing Su leaving Wanyun Sect.
Li Ping’an used the Shape-Shifting Technique to transform into a beetle and crawled into his master’s sleeve, resting at the cuff to enjoy the view of the world.
The master and disciple first headed south, indulging in the mortal world’s fine food and drink for several days.
Li Ping’an was in charge of trip planning, and Qing Su took on the task of savoring local delicacies.
Even before they began slaying demons, they had made exceptional contributions to the cause of ‘preventing domestic animals from turning into demons.’
Li Ping’an made a special trip to Castcloud Hall’s new branch in the central part of the East Continent.
The core market of Wanyun Sect had always been in the middle section of the East Sea coast, and the central part of the East Continent was a newly developed market, inevitably with many unstable factors.
