Immortal Father - Chapter 39.1 - Ping'an Finally Becomes Famous

“Senior Brother… Senior Brother?”

Li Ping’an opened his eyes in a daze and turned to look at Mu Ningning, who had gently pushed him a few times.

How long have I slept? It’s already dark. Li Ping’an raised his head and looked around. His master was standing at the side with her hands behind her back. Of the original huge ‘spectator stands’, the only one left was the one under him.

The Heaven Ranking arena had already fallen to the ground, and the disciples of the various peaks had already returned to their peaks.

Elder Yan Cheng and another white-haired, white-bearded elder were standing not far away and looking at Li Ping’an with smiles.

Only then did Li Ping’an remember that he still had to prove that the magic artifacts he had used were made by him.

Mu Ningning reminded softly, “Senior Brother, the two elders have been waiting for a while.”

“I’ll be right there.” Li Ping’an adjusted his collar. He felt refreshed after a good sleep. From his primordial soul to his Dao Body, there was an indescribable sense of clarity.

He turned to look at Mu Ningning, who was about to go with him. “Junior Sister, don’t come with me. It won’t be anything fun today.”

“I’ve heard it all!” Mu Ningning’s peach blossom eyes were slightly annoyed. She even showed the communication jade talisman in her hand and harrumphed.

“My master said that if the immortals of Opening Cloud Peak bully disciples of our Rosy Cloud Peak, I should use the jade talisman to call them over to quarrel.

“Can’t they even afford to lose in the internal sect competition? But they’re insisting on not letting it go!

“Senior Brother, don’t worry. We’re in the right. What’s there to be afraid of?! Our Rosy Cloud Peak has never lost a quarrel!”

Qingsu pursed her lips and nodded.

Li Ping’an seemed to be able to see his master’s primordial spirit waving her little fists and shouting, “Yes, yes.”

He couldn’t help laughing. “That’s fine. Junior Sister, if you want to follow, then follow. But Opening Cloud Peak and Rosy Cloud Peak are both Daoist temples of the Myriad Cloud Sect. Don’t make yourself unhappy because of this trivial matter. Don’t say anything today, and don’t use the jade talisman to call people. I’ll deal with it.”

Mu Ningning pouted and whispered, “I’ll listen to you. I’m just afraid that people will bully you.”

“Who can bully me inside the sect?” Li Ping’an smiled and shook his head. “My father is Li Dazhi.”

Qingsu looked over.

Li Ping’an immediately added, “My master is Immortal Qingsu.”

Qingsu smiled and raised her head, clearly very satisfied with Li Ping’an’s self-introduction.

Mu Ningning covered her mouth and giggled. She jumped onto the white cloud under Qingsu’s feet and followed behind her aunt-master.

Li Ping’an rushed to Elder Yan Cheng’s side, but this elder took the initiative to hold his arm. The two of them transmitted their voices while rushing to the Mortal Affairs Hall.

Elder Yan Cheng asked in a deep voice, “Are you confident in handling the situation today?”

“Elder, don’t worry.” Li Ping’an smiled. “When I used that secret technique to suppress the Opening Cloud Peak disciple yesterday, I had already thought of a way to deal with them. I was actually afraid that they wouldn’t cause trouble.”

“Oh?” Elder Yan Cheng stared at Li Ping’an with his small eyes and continued transmitting his voice. “The sect master is paying attention to this matter. Although most of the guests have left, there are still a few sect masters here. With their immortal senses, this matter can’t be hidden.

“Don’t fall into youthful impetuosity. If you don’t have a way to deal with it, I will help you cover it up.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Elder.”

Li Ping’an immediately frowned and asked softly, “Elder, can you please invite a few inner sect elders over to seal the Mortal Affairs Hall? Don’t let those sect masters investigate.”

“Why?”

“I won’t just hand over the first version of the Spirit Explosion Art to the sect today,” Li Ping’an said in a deep voice. “My father has been thinking about artificing methods for three years and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Today, my father wants to use me to advise the sect. This matter concerns the sect’s spirit stone business.”

Elder Yan Cheng’s eyes were full of doubt.

If it were any other Light Condensation disciple who said this, Elder Yan Cheng would definitely arrange for a few deacons to cleanse this disciple’s Dao Heart.

But it was Li Ping’an who said it…

“Take your time going to the Mortal Affairs Hall.”

Elder Yan Cheng transmitted his voice. “I’m going to report to the sect master. The sect master’s previous intention was to deal with this matter in front of the friend sect experts to prevent others from saying that our Myriad Cloud Sect is unfair.”

Li Ping’an cupped his hands. “Thank you, Elder.”

“It’s a small matter.” Elder Yan Cheng turned into a beam of rainbow light and shot straight toward the top of the main peak.

The outer sect elder looked at Li Ping’an curiously. He didn’t know what Elder Yan Cheng and this disciple had whispered to each other. At this moment, he only followed Elder Yan Cheng’s instruction and slowed down the cloud’s speed by half.

Li Ping’an thought that the Mortal Affairs Hall would soon be sealed.

But he didn’t expect that Elder Yan Cheng had hurriedly left and quickly returned. He said to Li Ping’an, “The sect master said… What seal? Is there anything we can’t tell outsiders? We should explain this matter openly so that the immortals of the friend sects won’t see it as a joke!

“Ping’an, just reveal it. Since the sect master has said so, what doubts do you have?”

Li Ping’an: “…”

This wasn’t the end.

When Li Ping’an landed in front of the Mortal Affairs Hall, a white cloud carrying five middle-aged Daoists, three men and two women, slowly descended in the hall. The group of immortals hurriedly bowed and called out ‘sect master’.

Li Ping’an’s forehead was covered in black lines.

That’s right. Not only did the sect master not send the sect masters of other sects away, but he even brought them directly!

Just as Li Ping’an decided that even if he were scolded today, he wouldn’t take out his ‘artificing production line’ to prevent leaking trade secrets.

A familiar voice entered his ears. “Elder Yan said that you wanted to offer the technique to detonate magic artifacts to the sect. He also said that you can improve the spirit stone business of the sect.

“Come, let these sect masters see the style of our Myriad Cloud Sect disciples!

“I promised you a few treasures before. If you perform well today, how about I give you a few more?”

Li Ping’an looked at the middle-aged male cultivator sitting in the main seat surrounded by immortals in the hall. He knew who had spoken to him yesterday. He lowered his head and bowed.

Since the sect master said so, he only had to obey as a disciple.

He would just show it later.

In any case, this set of ‘Industry Artificing Standards Trial Version’ would be eliminated sooner or later.

…

At this moment, hundreds of people had gathered in the hall. Most of them were disciples who came to watch the fun, and some were disciples who came to receive the rewards from the competition.

This group of spectators formed a semicircle and circled the following ‘place of debate’.

There were two groups of people standing in the semicircle. On the left were a few True Immortals and disciples of Opening Cloud Peak, and on the right were Li Dazhi, Wei Yanzi, Mu Ningning, and several female immortals of Rosy Cloud Peak.

Li Ping’an was standing in the middle of the semicircle with his Heavenly Immortal master behind him.

After the Myriad Cloud Sect Master and the other sect masters sat down, they didn’t say anything else.

A white-haired inner sect elder stood up and cupped his hands at the disciples.

This elder was rather dignified. He looked at the Opening Cloud Peak people in the crowd and the red-faced Wang Zaizhi, who didn’t dare to raise his head, and said loudly, “Regarding the matter of the Opening Cloud Peak immortals being disgruntled with the outcome of the competition, let’s end it here.

“The immortals of Opening Cloud Peak have said three things.

“First, why did the sect let a young disciple of the Flowing Cloud Temple come into contact with the profound immortal spells and techniques of the sect?

“According to the sect rules, only inner sect disciples who have reached the Void Refinement realm can cultivate the Cloud Mimicry Spell under the guidance of their master.

“Is there an explanation for this matter?”
