The [Three-star Spirit Beast Saddle] is a refining blueprint.
Lu Ping manifested the blueprint of the Spirit Beast Saddle, presenting it in the form of an ancient scroll, about the size of a book.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Ping, without needing to flip through, could easily read the contents of the ancient scroll simply by using his Divine Sense.
Lu Ping browsed through it briefly.
It detailed the refining method of the Spirit Beast Saddle, as well as the required refining materials like Purple Sun Wood and Lingxi Vine, even detailing the age, quality, and ideal origins of materials like Purple Sun Wood.
"This Spirit Beast Saddle belongs to the Tier One Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact. Although this tier is somewhat low, considering itâs a magical tool for assisting in spirit beast taming and breeding, the power doesnât need to be strong, nor does it need to be used in battle."
"On the contrary, if the artifact tier is too strong, reaching the levels of Tier Two or Tier Three, it would actually be detrimental for the disciples to use."
Lu Ping looked at the level of the Spirit Beast Saddle, and this tier is just right for the disciples at the Qi Cultivation Stage to use, even those at the first and second layers of Qi Cultivation could use it.
In the future, when Lu Xuelian takes on new apprentices to raise the Flying Cloud Beasts, those disciples might be too weak to wield Tier Two artifacts, but Tier One Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts would still be manageable for them.
Tier One artifacts seem a bit low-end, but they have a wide audience and are inexpensive.
As for who could refine this Spirit Beast Saddle, considering Song Minghuiâs artifact refining mastery is still lacking, Lu Zhiwei is the only suitable candidate left.
"Letâs hand over this Spirit Beast Saddle to Zhiwei for refining later on. We should get started on this matter as soon as possible, without delay."
Lu Ping made up his mind.
Next, it was about the [Three-star Talent Inheritance].
Regarding the user choice for this, Lu Ping had a very clear target in mind and promptly chose Lu Xuelian. The effect soon took effect on Lu Xuelian, and she wouldnât feel anything unusual about it.
From the perspective of Spirit Root Talent, both Lu Xuelian and Chu Qin have Dual Spirit Roots, and their Spirit Root Talents are evenly matched.
However, it should be noted here that Lu Xuelian possesses more than just Spirit Root Talent.
She also has excellent Beast Taming Talent.
According to Lu Pingâs thoughts, if Lu Xuelianâs future children inherited both her Dual Spirit Roots and Beast Taming Talent, that would be the best outcome.
Besides his Spirit Root Talent, Chu Qin also possesses Talisman-Making Talent.
His Talisman-Making Talent, however, was granted to him by Lu Ping through a [Three-star Random Talent].
Curious about how Chu Qinâs talisman-making mastery has developed, Lu Ping checked Chu Qinâs personal attribute panel.
[Name: Chu Qin]
[Identity: Disciple of Cyan Mountain Sect, Tier One Lower-Grade Talisman Maker]
[Age: 24]
[Character: Loyal, Affectionate]
[Status: Healthy]
[Realm: Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation]
[Talent: Wood and Water Dual Spirit Roots]
[Location: Cyan Lotus Mountain]
...
In the identity section of Chu Qin, Lu Ping saw that it indicated a Tier One Lower-Grade Talisman Maker, which means Chu Qin has already stepped into the threshold of a Talisman Maker.
In terms of cultivation, Chu Qin is doing well too, having reached the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation. With another year or two of cultivation, he could break through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, refining his foundation, and prepare for Foundation Establishment.
The disciples within the Cyan Mountain Sect are growing stronger, all moving towards the peak of Qi Cultivation.
This includes Xuu Yi and Lin Han, both of whom have reached the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation.
Lu Ping intends to focus more on supporting the disciplesâ cultivation growth in the sectâs strength in the future.
Lastly, regarding Chu Qinâs talent, Lu Ping took a second look.
"Wood and Water Dual Spirit Roots, not bad at all. In future efforts, letâs use a Three-star Spirit Root enhancement on him to elevate his Dual Spirit Roots to a Celestial Spirit Root."
"This way, Chu Qinâs future children will also have a much greater chance to inherit the Celestial Spirit Root Talent."
Once Chu Qin becomes a Celestial Spirit Root, then his children inheriting this Spirit Root Talent will naturally be better than inheriting Lu Xuelianâs talent.
Either way, in Lu Pingâs opinion, both Chu Qin and Lu Xuelian have decent talents. Whether to enhance Lu Xuelianâs or Chu Qinâs Spirit Roots can be decided flexibly in the future.
The consideration of who to optimize the Spirit Roots for will be decided later, and thatâs Lu Pingâs plan.
Lastly, itâs about the usage of [Three-star Seclusion] and [Three-star Enlightenment].
For the former, after pondering for a while, Lu Ping decided to choose among his three children to accelerate their cultivation speed.
After all, the three siblings Lu Yuanshan are now Foundation Establishment Cultivators and need to progress towards the Crystallization Stage.
However, the eldest son Lu Yuanshan, being the Sect Leader, has to spend more time managing the sect besides regular cultivation.
Therefore, Lu Ping did not plan to use the seclusion on Lu Yuanshan, but rather choose between Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei.
Currently, Lu Zhiweiâs cultivation is at the peak of Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment.
Lu Changfeng, on the other hand, is at Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment, both with considerable strength.
"Perhaps Iâll use it on Changfeng. Zhiwei has daily artifact refining to do, teaching Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan, whereas Changfeng has a bit more leisure time."
After contemplating for a while, this [Three-star Seclusion] was thus used on Lu Changfeng by Lu Ping.
Following that, having considered that the [Three-star Enlightenment] can be used in conjunction with the effect of seclusion, he straightforwardly used it on Lu Changfeng as well.
After completing these operations, Lu Ping then closed the system panel.
...
Time flew by, and it had been ten days since Xuu Mengyuan went into seclusion, yet there were no signs of activity from the Seclusion Chamber during this period.
For Xuu Mengyuanâs seclusion, according to Lu Yuanshanâs arrangement, it was conducted secretly.
Those who knew were only Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei, Zhang Xiao, and Lu Ping.
The outside world knows nothing of it, unaware that Xuu Mengyuan is in seclusion.
These days, Lu Zhiwei stayed in Guangde County and never left. While waiting for Xuu Mengyuan to emerge, she spent most of her time on two things.
First was mastering the refining method of the Spirit Beast Saddle, which was simple for Lu Zhiwei, who quickly grasped it and began collecting materials for crafting the Spirit Beast Saddle.
The second task involved Lu Zhiwei cultivating the "Profound Pure Jade Maiden Heart Scripture."
She wanted to quickly master the second divine technique within this cultivation method, the Cyan Void Ancient Hand Seal, to greatly enhance her strength.
After all, idling in Guangde County left her with free time.
Taking charge of the Profound Fire Order and managing Guangde County turned out to be much easier than Lu Zhiwei had anticipated.
While Lu Zhiwei remained stationed in Guangde County, Lu Yuanshan had already returned to the Cyan Mountain Sect but continued to keep an eye on the developments regarding Xuu Mengyuan, often making visits to Guangde County.
The outside world knew nothing about Xuu Mengyuanâs seclusion, allowing Guangde County to continue its orderly development, bustling with daily activity, with no evil paths daring to invade and fearing the Heaven-Reaching Profound Fire Array.
As a consciousness body, Lu Ping didnât need food or rest and didnât return to Cyan Mountain Sect this time but stayed behind with Lu Zhiwei.
