Chapter 510 - 478: Elder Lu, the Dragon That Shows Its Head but Not Its Tail

Upon hearing Lu Ping’s communication, Li Weimiao turned her head and looked around.

Zhang Nianchuan was also in the communication channel. Seeing Li Weimiao’s reaction, a wry smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.

The elder ancestor of the Cyan Mountain Sect was intriguing, always communicating without showing up, creating an air of mystery.

To Li Weimiao’s inquiries, Lu Ping didn’t explain, instead manifesting the Cold Ice Sword and Cold Ice Heart Method from the system warehouse.

Seeing a flying sword and a cultivation technique jade scroll appear out of nowhere, Zhang Nianchuan and Li Weimiao widened their eyes.

Zhang Ruoruo beside them was also shocked, unable to understand what was going on.

For Zhang Nianchuan and the others, who were witnessing Lu Ping’s magical manifestation for the first time, it was inevitably astonishing.

Zhang Nianchuan was somewhat aware, knowing of Lu Ping’s existence, and upon seeing the manifested items, he could guess they were the doing of Ancestor Lu.

However, Li Weimiao and Zhang Ruoruo were unaware of Lu Ping’s existence and were left bewildered, thinking it was Zhang Nianchuan’s doing.

"The sword is the Cold Ice Sword, and the jade scroll is the Cold Ice Heart Method."

"Both carry the ice attribute, suitable for Li Weimiao’s cultivation, so it’s a gift for her."

Lu Ping’s communication echoed in the minds of Li Weimiao and Zhang Nianchuan.

These rewards couldn’t be more appropriate for Li Weimiao.

Looking at the items in front of her, Li Weimiao didn’t know how to respond. The person communicating was surprisingly kind to her.

Evidently, it wasn’t Zhang Nianchuan’s doing.

Zhang Nianchuan’s gaze fell on the Cold Ice Sword and the cultivation technique jade scroll. Seeing that Li Weimiao didn’t respond or thank Ancestor Lu Ping, he reminded her.

"Junior Sister Li, this communicator is our Cyan Mountain Sect’s founding ancestor, Elder Lu."

"The Ancestor is giving you a great opportunity!"

Upon hearing Zhang Nianchuan’s reminder, Li Weimiao was stunned, clearly not expecting Lu Ping to have such an origin.

And she did not doubt Zhang Nianchuan’s words.

Although she did not know the true origin of her sect’s founding ancestor, having lived and cultivated at Cyan Mountain Sect for a while, Li Weimiao knew that her master Lu Zhiwei, Grand Elder Lu Changfeng, and Sect Leader Lu Yuanshan were all the children of the founding ancestor.

If even her master, the Grand Elder, and the Sect Leader were so powerful, how much more powerful must the founding ancestor, Elder Lu, be?

Thinking like this, Li Weimiao quickly followed the communication, respectfully saying, "Disciple Li Weimiao greets the Ancestor."

Saying "greet" but not knowing where Lu Ping was, Li Weimiao could only look around cluelessly.

"Ancestor, are you around?"

She asked, scratching her head.

To Li Weimiao’s inquiry, Lu Ping did not respond; he just smiled faintly and said, "Little Weimiao, diligently cultivate."

After saying this, Lu Ping slowly disconnected the communication.

Hearing this, Li Weimiao nodded vigorously, realizing the communication had ended, and felt a little lost inside.

Li Weimiao was very curious about this Ancestor.

She wanted to take this opportunity to say a few more words to the Ancestor and admire his demeanor.

However, the Ancestor’s mystery only made Li Weimiao more curious.

"Senior Brother Zhang, have you ever seen this ancestor of our Cyan Mountain Sect?"

Li Weimiao turned to Zhang Nianchuan.

"I haven’t seen him either."

Zhang Nianchuan shook his head with a wry smile.

"The ancestor is always mysterious, appearing and disappearing like a divine being; perhaps one day, we will have the chance to see him."

Not just Li Weimiao, even Zhang Nianchuan wanted to see the style of Lu Ping, the Golden Core Ancestor.

"Alright, Junior Sister Li, let’s put this aside for now."

Zhang Nianchuan pointed to the Cold Ice Sword and the cultivation technique jade scroll on the ground, showing envy, saying, "The Ancestor is very good to you, giving you a flying sword and cultivation technique."

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Ruoruo beside them asked, unable to comprehend Zhang Nianchuan and Li Weimiao’s conversation for a moment.

Zhang Ruoruo wasn’t in Lu Ping’s communication channel earlier.

To Lu Ping, the Zhang family disciples were not as intimate as those from the Cyan Mountain Sect.

After bidding farewell to the three, Lu Ping drifted to Little Cold Mountain to conduct an investigation.

The main purpose of coming here was to check on the Flying Cloud Beast Group and the Zhang family.

Since transferring the Flying Cloud Beast Group here for breeding, the spiritual energy and environment here have greatly aided in breeding them.

Now, the group of Flying Cloud Beasts has been successfully tamed, breeding to over five hundred in number.

Liu Shiyao has recently been stationed here, responsible for taking care of these Flying Cloud Beasts.

Lu Ping noted Liu Shiyao’s current beast-taming mastery has reached a Tier One Middle Grade.

Although her beast taming talent isn’t as outstanding as Lu Xuelian’s, it’s still considerable.

As for the Zhang family, Lu Ping floated around the Zhang clan territory.

The Zhang family’s cultivator number was sparse, far less than the Cyan Mountain Sect’s, with the highest cultivation being Zhang Deming, the patriarch of the Zhang family.

Zhang Deming has now reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Cultivation Stage and is ready to undergo secluded cultivation to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, due to the lack of a Foundation Establishment Pill, Zhang Deming doesn’t dare to take this big risk and currently chooses to maintain the family’s economic growth.

Notably, under the guidance of Zuo Luo and Li Ziqi, the Zhang family’s spirit field now yields high output, reminiscent of the Cyan Mountain Sect’s bumper harvest after expanding their spirit field.

The primary economic source of the Zhang family is spirit field cultivation, followed by growing spirit medicine and developing other resource industries that the Zhang family is currently striving for.

Zhang Deming’s plan is to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill from Lu Yuanshan once he returns from the war with the Southern Wilderness, to use for his Foundation Establishment.

Although the Zhang family doesn’t have much heritage, they do have enough to spend ten thousand Spirit Stones to purchase one Foundation Establishment Pill.

Moreover, with the help of the Cyan Mountain Sect, the Zhang family has developed very steadily.

Finally, Lu Ping noted that Little Cold Mountain’s spirit vein had upgraded from Tier Two High-Grade to Tier Three Lower Grade.

This upgrade wasn’t due to the Cyan Mountain Sect investing Spirit Stones into cultivation but because six months ago, Lu Ping used a [Three-star Spirit Vein Upgrade] to enhance this spirit vein.

As time passed, the upgrade of this spirit vein succeeded.

The Zhang family benefitted greatly from this.

This led the Zhang family members to increasingly believe that forming an alliance with the Cyan Mountain Sect and relocating the clan to Little Cold Mountain was the wisest decision in the Zhang family’s history.

After tarrying for a while, finding nothing else of interest, Lu Ping then considered returning to the Southern Wilderness Frontline.

With Lu Zhiwei as the target, Lu Ping spent 5 Reputation Points to activate [Instant Transmission] and was instantly transmitted to Lu Zhiwei’s side.

As soon as he surveyed the surroundings, he saw Lu Zhiwei, Zhao Mingyuan, and Liu Hanshuang leading a large group of cultivators, rushing rapidly in a certain direction.

"Is it starting again?"

Lu Ping’s eyes narrowed.
