Immortal Father - Chapter 40.1 - Qingsu Doesn't Understand
“It’s done! Success! It’s really a flying sword!”
“This quality isn’t bad. It’s enough for disciples at the Spirit-Gathering and Light Condensation realms!”
“If this method can make more powerful magic artifacts, won’t it be able to continuously turn materials into magic artifacts?”
“I understand! The most important thing is that restrictions can be directly engraved on the flying sword at once! How did he come up with this?”
“This way, only magic artifacts can be crafted. For more complicated magic artifacts, the restrictions are engraved from the inside out… Hiss, that’s not necessarily the case. If you want to make any magic artifact, you can pre-make the engraving molds. It’s not impossible to do it from the inside out.”
“Wonderful!”
“Hiss, why didn’t I think of this before?! Have I really wasted my long life?”
In the Mortal Affairs Hall…
Li Ping’an was already standing outside the crowd. A group of immortals surrounded the production line and marveled at it.
Just now, Li Ping’an had received six voice transmissions.
The sect master said, “Ping’an, since you had such a wonderful method, why didn’t you let your father say it in advance?”
Li Ping’an really wanted to say, “It’s my fault.” But due to his low magic power, he could only smile bitterly at the sect master.
The sect master transmitted his voice again. “I was too rash about this matter. Hahaha! When everyone is finished looking, put it away.”
Li Ping’an cupped his hands and bowed.
Elder Yan Cheng transmitted his voice. “Just this method alone has made a great contribution to the sect!”
There was the voice of Wang Zaizhi’s master. “Young Friend Ping’an, Zaizhi has offended you. Please forgive him.”
There was an unfamiliar voice. “I am the sect master of the Eminent Essence Sect. Young friend, I am willing to form a good relationship with you today. If you have time in the future, you can come to the Eminent Essence Sect to play for a few days. My sect will treat you well.”
The poachers were here.
“Put it away quickly,” Elder Xiao Yue said. “This magic artifact is too crude and doesn’t have any concealment restrictions. The sect masters have already memorized it. Do you know how many spirit stones this artificing method can earn for the sect every year? I was blind in the past. Your father actually has such ingenuity.”
Li Ping’an looked at his father and found that he had no intention of coming forward.
Feeling that he had displayed enough, Li Ping’an raised his finger and pointed forward.
These twelve large magic artifacts stopped operating at the same time.
Elder Yan Cheng waved his pipe, and a few outer sect elders immediately moved forward. They stored these magic artifacts in the twelve storage magic artifacts that Li Ping’an had taken out earlier and returned them to him.
The immortals once again formed a semicircle.
But at this moment, the disciples were all looking at Li Ping’an in disbelief.
Li Ping’an bowed and said loudly, “I used this method to craft many magic artifacts.
“These twelve magic artifacts were all made by my father. The materials used were all exchanged with my father’s monthly allowance from the sect. My father had already ordered me to find an opportunity to present these magic artifacts to the sect.
“I am offering this object today. I wish the sect will be forever prosperous, the Dao of Clouds will be everlasting, and the disciples of the sect will find unending success on the immortal path.”
Most of the immortals here had gentle smiles in their eyes.
The inner sect elder stroked his beard and nodded before turning to look at the sect master.
The Myriad Cloud Sect Master stood up and walked forward. “Great! My Dao Heart is very happy. Let’s drink a few glasses today!”
The sect master continued, “Let the matter of the competition be over like this! How can a momentary dispute between young disciples compare to this wonderful artificing method?”
The Opening Cloud Peak immortals hurriedly bowed. “As you command, Sect Master.”
The sect master smiled. “Junior Brother Dazhi, what do you think?”
“It’s all up to you, Senior Brother Sect Master!”
Li Dazhi, who had been silent and wanted his son to be in the limelight, could no longer hide. He said seriously, “Ping’an actually took out this method in a bit of a hurry today. There’s still a lot of room for improvement.
“My son and I used to make a living in the mortal world. We never thought that we would obtain immortal fate and enter the sect to cultivate. After thinking hard, we finally combined cultivation and workshops into one.
“Ever since I joined the sect, my master has treated me like his own son. He has never despised me because of my mortal, profit-driven stench. He has taught me immortal techniques and protected me to become an immortal. The elders and deacons have taken good care of me and my son, and the disciples of the various peaks have treated us with respect. We are extremely grateful.
“Today, I am offering this artificing method to the sect. I don’t want any rewards or fame. I just want to contribute to the sect. Please treat it well!”
The sect master’s eyes were full of emotion, and all the immortals looked at him.
Li Ping’an laughed inwardly.
The immortals had been cultivating in the mountains for a long time, and most of them were simple and indifferent to fame and fortune.
His father’s acting skills had also reached the level of naturalness.
However, it was also possible that his father really thought so… It was hard to say.
Li Ping’an carried the twelve storage magic artifacts forward and solemnly handed them to Elder Yan Cheng.
In the bamboo forest at the back of the main peak…
Daoist Kongming looked at Li Dazhi’s figure from afar with a bit of emotion in his old eyes. This last disciple of mine has more than just great fortune.
…
The decree of the Sect Master of the Myriad Cloud Sect:
Origin Immortal Li Dazhi, disciple of the founding ancestor, is of noble and virtuous character. Since he joined the Myriad Cloud Sect, he has made many contributions to the sect. Today, he has dedicated his wonderful artificing method to expand the wealth of the Myriad Cloud Sect. He is rewarded with five cubic meters of spirit stones, a hundred boxes of precious materials, and twelve immortal treasures.
Li Dazhi has deep fortune and ability. He is a great talent of the sect. Therefore, he is appointed to serve as the deputy hall master of the Wondrous Cloud Hall and receives the title of an outer sect elder. He can enter and leave the six halls of the sect at will.
Inner sect disciple Li Ping’an, son of Dazhi, disciple of Qingsu, has a noble character and is diligent in his cultivation. Today, he has contributed greatly. He is rewarded with three cubic meters of spirit stones, fifty boxes of precious materials, and six immortal treasures.
Li Ping’an is quick-witted and has peak comprehension ability. The sect master allows him to enter and leave the Dao Repository Hall at will.
…
Four hours after the treasure presentation, all kinds of rewards were delivered to Li Ping’an.
“Wow! So many spirit stones!”
In the Heavenly Immortal cave abode, Mu Ningning threw herself onto the three cubic meters of spirit stones with stars in her eyes.
Qingsu pondered carefully.
She really couldn’t understand why her disciple could use those twelve ugly magic artifacts to exchange for so many rewards from the sect.
“Master.” Li Ping’an walked over with the three immortal treasures. “Take these. Take them as a gift from your disciple to honor you.”
Qingsu shook her head slightly. “This is your reward.”
Li Ping’an said, “I don’t need so many immortal treasures. I’ve kept two for me and one for Junior Sister Mu.”
Qingsu said softly, “I lack spirit treasures.”
“Okay.” Li Ping’an smiled. “I’ll come back to honor you when I get a spirit treasure in the future.”
Qingsu asked, “Why did the sect reward you with so many things?”
“It’s a little complicated.” Li Ping’an sorted out his words and tried his best to be precise and concise. “In order to maintain such a large sect, especially to provide monthly allowances to disciples, we need to continuously earn external spirit stones.
“The set of magic artifacts that my father offered to the sect today is actually a new way of thinking. It allows the sect to produce more magic artifacts at the same time and with the same amount of manpower.
“Of course, this is only the first step to earning spirit stones. My father will proceed step by step.
“As long as we can continuously produce high-quality and low-price magic artifacts, we can earn more spirit stones in the towns. With the protection of the three Golden Immortal ancestors, the foundation of the Myriad Cloud Sect will become more and more stable.
“This is why the sect gave such a generous reward.”
