After successfully establishing the Foundation, acquiring a position as an Elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect was indeed beyond Zhang Nianchuanâs expectations.
Frankly speaking, he had never considered becoming an Elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect.
His master, Lu Zhiwei, was one of the Elders of the Cyan Mountain Sect, so if he also became an Elder, how should he address Lu Zhiwei in the future?
Continue to call her Master?
Or call her Senior Sister?
It seems like it would be quite confusing.
While thinking about this, without waiting for Zhang Nianchuan to ask, Lu Yuanshan, not joking, patted his shoulder, "The position of Elder is not urgent, first take some time to stabilize your cultivation, and I will call for you when itâs time."
Every cultivator experiences instability in their cultivation level after successfully establishing the Foundation, and the True Essence in their Dantian may scatter Magical Power, necessitating a few days to adapt to controlling the True Essence for better usage.
"Then I will take my leave now."
Zhang Nianchuan nodded heavily, still immersed in the joy of establishing the Foundation, but he also understood the importance of quickly stabilizing his cultivation at this time.
Moreover, the upcoming period wouldnât allow for delays, as he needs to head downhill promptly.
"Senior Brother Zhang, congratulations on establishing your Foundation."
"Well done!"
Outside the forbidden area, seeing Zhang Nianchuan come out, the disciples immediately gathered around him.
"Junior Brother Zhang, now that youâve established your Foundation, it feels inappropriate to keep calling you Junior Brother."
Song Minghui smiled, feeling happy for Zhang Nianchuan.
Zhang Nianchuan responded to the greetings of his fellow disciples, and after a while, he followed them and left.
Once Zhang Nianchuan and the disciples departed, Lu Yuanshan and his siblings chatted briefly before changing the topic from Zhang Nianchuan.
They each had their own matters to attend to.
Lu Zhiwei was engaged in refining magical artifacts, intending to make good use of those demon beast corpses to craft a new batch of magical artifacts for the sect.
Meanwhile, thanks to the guidance during this period, Song Minghuiâs knowledge in artifact refining had reached a level where she could challenge the Tier One Lower Grade.
After Lu Ping used a "Three-star Random Talent" to awaken Song Minghuiâs Artifact Refining Talent, she was arranged to learn the Artifact Refining Dao with Lu Zhiwei as her teacher.
Lu Zhiweiâs Artifact Refining Mastery had rapidly advanced from Tier Three Middle Grade to Tier Three Top Grade in just over a month.
Her artifact refining progress was so fast that Lu Ping sometimes thought that with a few "Two-star Refiner Upgrades," Lu Zhiwei could be directly elevated to a Tier Four Refiner level.
Lu Zhiweiâs future in artifact refining was limitless.
This time, Lu Zhiwei aimed to guide Song Minghui in artifact refining, and through this opportunity, elevate Song Minghui to the level of a Tier One Lower-Grade Refiner.
With Lu Zhiwei leaving first, Lu Yuanshan didnât linger either. After bidding Lu Ping farewell, he also left.
Only Lu Changfeng remained when Lu Ping called out to him.
"Dad, whatâs up?"
Being called by Lu Ping, Lu Changfeng assumed there was another task requiring him to go downhill.
"How has your progress in studying arrays been?"
"Hahaha, is that all?"
Lu Changfeng chuckled while scratching his head.
"Dad, you could compliment me a bit this time. Through my relentless efforts, Iâve officially become an Array Master, reaching the level of a Tier One Lower-Grade Array Master!"
Lu Changfengâs words had a hint of pride in them.
"Not too bad, I suppose."
Lu Ping nodded mildly.
"Arenât you going to praise me, Dad?"
Lu Ping replied with an extremely calm tone, "Youâve been studying for so long and just crossed the threshold into becoming an Array Master, and you still have the nerve to ask for praise?"
"Dad, you shouldnât belittle your own son like that."
"Enough with the nonsense. Although your level is a bit low, just having entered the beginnerâs threshold, with your father around."
Lu Changfeng paused for a moment, sensing that Lu Ping must have another trick up his sleeve to help him.
Before he could ask, Lu Ping continued speaking.
"Tier One Lower Grade, Iâll level you up."
"Ah ha?"
Regardless of Lu Changfengâs reaction, as he was gaping in surprise, Lu Ping opened the system warehouse and among many rewards, found the "Two-star Array Master Upgrade."
This was obtained from completing the Doorway Affairs related to the tree demon incident at Celestial Peace Mountain in Qi Kingdom.
At that time, it was Lu Zhiwei who took action.
Lu Zhiwei eradicated the tree demon, earning Lu Ping the reward for that Doorway Affairs event, which included the "Two-star Array Master Upgrade."
Lu Ping intended to use it to enhance Lu Changfengâs array skills.
However, due to the restriction that it could only be used on someone who had crossed the threshold into become an Array Master, it couldnât be used on Lu Changfeng then.
At that time, Lu Changfeng was new to the Path of Array and hadnât even crossed the threshold.
Now that Lu Changfeng had finally crossed the threshold, the upgrade had found a purpose and didnât need to gather dust in the system warehouse.
After triggering the effect of "Two-star Array Master Upgrade," Lu Ping chose Lu Changfeng as the recipient.
Lu Changfeng, no longer bewildered, had already experienced Lu Pingâs extraordinary divine techniques several times, as his Array Talent was also a gift from Lu Ping, making it all too familiar.
"Bring it on, Dad!"
Lu Changfeng was a bit excited, as his father was finally willing to upgrade his second son.
God bless, finally being favored!
To the point where Lu Changfeng had already prepared himself, without Lu Pingâs prompting, he immediately sensed a tremendous influx of array knowledge in his mind the next moment.
This knowledge covered from Tier One Lower Grade to Tier One Middle Grade, so abundant that Lu Changfeng felt momentarily overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the infusion of these knowledge points was mandatory and didnât require Lu Changfeng to memorize them, as they were promptly etched into his mind.
In an instant, Lu Changfeng grasped foundational arrays like the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Talents Array, Jia Wood Armor Binding Array, and Profound Yang Purple Fire Array.
Now, Lu Changfeng could effortlessly set up those Tier One Middle Grade arrays circulating in the market.
After completing the upgrade, Lu Changfeng still felt a bit unsatisfied.
"Dad?"
Having tasted the benefits, Lu Changfeng, filled with joy, communicated with Lu Ping.
"Hmm?"
"Would you give your child another upgrade?"
Quickly ascending from Tier One Lower Grade to Tier One Middle Grade brought such exhilaration to Lu Changfeng that he was thrilled.
So much so, that he wanted it to happen once or twice more.
"What did you say?"
Lu Ping felt the frustration building.
But soon found it hard to refute.
The idea of instantly enhancing oneâs array skills, who wouldnât want that, wouldnât want more of it?
