The fairy father

In the middle of the night, Li Ping'an floated back to his cave, exhausted.

Socializing in this fairy sect is a hundred times more tiring than fighting in the ring...

Because the cave was shrouded in the master's immortal power barrier, Li Ping'an could finally take a short breath and no longer need to be watched by those immortal consciousnesses.

So he took off his robe, took off his boots, put the clothes he took off into a storage artifact called the 'dirty clothes basket', and lay down on his own private lounge chair wearing only the inner placket of his single coat and trousers.

The sound of water in the lotus pond was tinkling, and two butterflies that had been let in at some unknown time were sucking water drops on the lotus leaves.

Li Ping'an's eyes were empty, and he slowly recovered from the huge energy consumed by the 'Exploding Spirit Art'. He felt drowsy and had some migraines.

He was really holding on before.

To perform such a large-scale Spirit Exploding Technique today, he needed to control hundreds of magic weapons to arrange themselves in a formation at the same time. This was a bit difficult for him at this time, and it took a lot of mental energy.

This kind of fatigue does not mean that the mana is empty or that the physical strength is exhausted, but that the soul is weak.

‘Alas, my cultivation level is too low after all. ’

Li Ping'an sighed, and thought that he had now become a master and had his father assisting him. It was the right time, the right place, the right people, and there was no need to complain.

Just work harder.

At this moment, my father rushed to the main peak, Wanyun Palace, and continued to accompany the head to receive foreign guests.

——Li Ping'an's current official status is just an ordinary inner disciple, and it is inconvenient to attend such an occasion directly.

On the way to see Li Pingan back, his father took Li Pingan's arm and said a few words to him.

Li Ping'an was quite pleased with this.

What the father said was:

"It's not that Wang Zaizhi deliberately wanted to embarrass you today, he is just a disciple, and his master, Elder Bi, arranged it behind the scenes.

"You are not injured. After this competition, you should think of a way to get to know him. It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. There is also a peak behind this disciple. Too much tension will not be conducive to the unity of the sect and our progress.

"We must not lose face, but we must also find a way to give them some face, so that they don't jump over the wall in a hurry... Dad can handle it."

Finally!

My old father finally began to take the matter of 'candidates for leadership' seriously!

Father finally no longer avoids his expectations for the next leader!

This is right!

Old Li had become frightened earlier, and he, Xiao Li, could fish safely and asked.

In fact, many times, just because a person is in this position and has this identity, he will be regarded as a threat by others, even if the person does nothing.

Relying on the love of the founder Kong Ming, his father passively became the disruptor of Wanyun Sect's "powerful inheritance", and he would naturally become a thorn in the side of some powerful groups.

Although many human Qi refiners are tired of power, there are always those who are accustomed to being superior, and their Taoist hearts are deviated, and they are nostalgic for the so-called power...

That's just human nature.

Li Ping thought about this quietly.

The main reason why he directly took out the "Exploding Spirit Art" today and spent a batch of magic weapons to defeat Wang Zaizhi head-on was to establish his authority.

Their father and son are now at a low level of cultivation, and they cannot be easily humiliated.

In addition, Li Ping'an also has a secondary purpose.

——He wanted to use the Spirit Exploding Technique to attract the attention of the sect, and then take advantage of the opportunity to take out the set of magical weapons that their father and son tinkered with and present it to the sect to consolidate his father's position in the sect.

Having said that, Wang Zaizhi's way of applying the power of talismans is quite good and you can learn from it.

Li Ping'an had just recovered a little, and he had a few more talismans on his fingertips, and he carefully recalled Wang Zaizhi's fighting skills.

"Hmm."

This is a vocal reminder from the Celestial Master.

Li Ping'an quickly stood up, looked at the master who was strolling over, bowed his head and saluted: "Master, are you interrupting your practice?"

"without."

Qingsu lay naturally on the lounge chair beside her, closed her eyes, and folded her hands in front of her belly; a slight breeze blew by, and her loose and soft ice blue dress fluttered slightly.

She pointed to the recliner next to her: "Lie down."

"Hey, yes."

Li Ping'an straightened his clothes, moved his recliner back half a foot, and lay down honestly.

"Master," he said with a guilty conscience, "I didn't say anything about the Explosive Technique before. I didn't conceal it intentionally. This kind of fighting method should be used to fight for life. I didn't intend to use it in a competition within the sect... "

"It doesn't matter."

Qing Su said softly: "I also have many secret techniques that I haven't told my master."

"The disciples only have this secret method of fighting, a few methods of alchemy and weapon training, and a few miscellaneous techniques..."

The more Li Ping'an talked, the more he felt guilty, so he could only say:

"Disciple likes to ponder these things. My father helped me borrow a lot of immortal books from Daozang Hall before, so I have learned a lot.

"If Master wants to know, this disciple will demonstrate it to Master one by one."

"Need not."

Qingsu seemed a little disappointed:

"I only know how to retreat and fight. I can't teach you these things."

"Master, don't say that. These things that the disciples are trying to figure out are just external arts after all!"

Li Ping'an hurriedly said:

"What Master can teach me is how to practice and how to survive in this world. These cannot be learned from classics."

Qing Su turned her head and looked over, and found Li Pingan behind her. With her hands gliding lightly, the wooden chair under her body floated to the same level as Li Pingan.

Qing Su looked Li Pingan up and down, as if she had just met her apprentice today.

Li Ping'an felt a little frightened. He always felt that his master's clear and smart eyes were looking at every bone in his body.

Qing Su suddenly asked: "They say that your understanding is very powerful. Is that true?"

"I'm actually... okay."

Li Ping'an smiled bitterly and said:

"You ask your disciple to boast, but he is also a bit thin-faced.

“You can’t say for sure when it comes to understanding, and you might get stuck when you encounter a small bottleneck.

"For practice, luck and qualifications are more important."

"Then apprentice, come and take a look at this."

Qing Su took out a jade talisman and pushed it into Li Ping'an's hand.

Li Ping'an took a few glances, and there were lines of beautiful small characters inside. If he looked carefully, he could see that they were scriptures copied from different periods.

"Master, what is this?"

"The scriptures that I couldn't understand before I became an immortal."

Qing Su's bright eyes seemed to be quite interested in this matter, and she ordered:

"Come and give it a try and let me see your understanding."

Master's wrong question book?

Li Ping'an muttered: "Master, you accepted the disciple as your disciple before, simply to repay the disciple's favor."

"otherwise?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Li Ping'an smiled bitterly, "Being able to worship Master as my disciple is really a blessing that a disciple has cultivated for many generations."

Qingsu blinked: "Seriously?"

"really!"

Li Ping'an said decisively, with a smile on his plain and beautiful face.

Li Ping'an secretly sighed...his master was a bit easier to coax than the priest girl back then.

He clutched the jade talisman, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to think about it carefully.

The test paper given by Qing Su made Li Ping'an quite difficult;

But after understanding one or two of the scriptures, Li Ping'an felt a lot of emotions in his heart, and he had the urge to retreat immediately and not participate in tomorrow's Heavenly Ranking Competition.

…

In the cave, Taoist masters and apprentices are discussed, and the main peak gathers immortals and plays music.

The night of Dabi was lively and lively. Generally speaking, it went smoothly. It was just that there was some trouble in the Fanshi Palace in the second half of the night.

In the early morning of the second day of the great competition inside the gate, the hall was crowded with people.

Li Dazhi, wearing a mysterious robe, stood in front of the palace gate, raised his hands to the rows of immortals in front of him and shouted:

"Everyone!

“Those who travel a hundred miles are half-ninety, and this is the end of the road!

Yesterday, the contests of the people list and the place list came to a successful conclusion. There were no errors or omissions and all parties made consistent arrangements. It was all thanks to everyone's hard work!

"Today's Tianbang competition is even more important. I hope everyone in the preparation hall will continue to work hard! Don't slack off in the slightest!

"Pindao has asked the leader for instructions. When the competition ends tomorrow, our preparation hall will celebrate here. There will be rewards within the gate!"

More than a hundred immortals smiled and returned the gift at the same time.

Li Dazhi waved aside.

Melodious bells rang out from the main peak, and fairy lights flew out of the Hall of All Things.

Two rows of cranes spread their wings out of the mist in the forest, and the fairies on the cranes' backs sprinkled petals all over the sky; the huge arena under the main peak slowly rose into the sky, and the three-sided cloud platform quickly took shape under the urging of the immortals.

The Battle of Tianbang officially begins!

Guests came from the main hall on clouds, and disciples from various peak sects rode on clouds to control things. They formed several colorful ribbons from the sky and gathered towards the foot of the main peak.

Anyone who sees this situation will praise Wanyun Sect as "the prosperity of the Immortal Sect".

The several old men who were retreating in the bamboo forest in the back mountain were all smiling at this moment.

Li Pingan followed his master Qingsu and couldn't help but yawned a few times.

Forgot to take a break.

He answered 30% of the test questions given by his master last night. His already tired mind was even more sleepy, and he was already a little groggy at this moment.

Li Ping'an made up his mind to just finish in the top 50 on the ranking list today, and then go to the stage to rest after finishing the game.

He had enough limelight yesterday.

"Safety!"

Deacon Wei Yanzi suddenly appeared from the side and bowed to Immortal Qingsu.

"Qingsu Immortal, I have something to do to find peace!"

"Yes," Qing Su nodded lightly and walked to the front road to wait.

Li Ping'an Shi Shiran stood up, and was immediately pulled by Wei Yanzi's arm, asking questions.

"Ping An, why do you look so tired?"

"I didn't adjust my breath well, and I was tested on scriptures by Master all night."

Li Pingan sighed feebly:

"Deacon, is there anything important? If you don't have me, just go and meditate for a while."

"I'm fine," Wei Yanzi said, "Something happened last night. I didn't mean to tell you earlier."

Li Ping'an suddenly became energetic: "What's the matter?"

"Then Wang Zaizhi's master is not convinced."

Wei Yanzi whispered:

"A few immortals went to the Fanshi Palace last night...

"Oh, I don't know if they are crazy. In front of so many guests, is there anything that can't be discussed after the competition is over?"

Li Ping'an asked: "Which peak is his master an immortal from?"

Wei Yanzi said: "The true immortals of Kaiyun Peak are average in strength. The strongest among the Kaiyun Peak masters is Elder Bi."

Li Ping'an smiled and said, "Why are they dissatisfied?"

"First of all, I don't accept the favoritism within the sect and say that you were practicing in Liuyun Temple before, so how could you obtain the sect's immortal skills? The method of practicing the sect's immortal skills can only be given to the inner sect disciples who are above the realm of refining the void."

Wei Yanzi sighed and continued to speak:

"Secondly, I'm not convinced by your Spirit Exploding Technique. So many magic weapons were directly detonated. I suspect that you used the treasure house inside the door, otherwise there would be so many magic weapons.

"Third, I'm not convinced that a minor cultivator in the Condensing Light Realm can reach the top ten on the Earth Ranking and the seventh on the Heavenly Ranking. They also say that if everyone values ​​the Dharma and despises the Tao, it will create an unhealthy trend in the door. ."

Li Ping'an curled his lips and asked again: "How did my father deal with it?"

"It's pretty awesome."

Wei Yanzi smiled and said:

“Master Dazhi’s ancestors refuted point by point.

"He first took out the jade talisman authorized by the elder of the Chuan Gong Hall. Your cultivation method was approved by the elder of the Chuan Gong Hall and there was no violation of the rules.

"Then your father said that after the competition, he would let you show off your original weapon-refining method.

"As for them saying they value the law over the Tao... This was directly pointed at by an inner sect elder and scolded them, scolding them that they can't afford to lose. Now one or two of them have grown up, and the dignified immortals are actually in trouble with a child."

Li Ping'an laughed dumbly.

Is there any Ben San baby in the world?

Wei Yanzi asked: "Ping An, do you have any problems with this demonstration of the weapon refining method? Do you need to prepare anything?"

"Help me prepare some low-quality treasure materials, just the treasure needed to refine the mortal flying sword."

Li Ping'an's eyes flickered slightly and he said seriously:

"As my father said, after the competition, I will explain to the elders how to quickly refine a large number of magical weapons for the Explosive Spirit Technique."

Wei Yanzi asked in a low voice: "Do you have a bottom line?"

"nature."

"Okay," Wei Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm going to prepare the treasures right away. Don't stress about safety. Once those guests leave, those immortals won't dare to jump around. They just deliberately gave Da Zhi Master adds to the problem."

Li Ping'an said: "Deacon, just don't worry."

Wei Yanzi gave a thumbs up, then hurriedly left in the clouds.

A fairy light flashed beside Li Ping'an, and Qing Su appeared beside him, leading him to continue moving forward.

Li Ping'an hesitated to speak.

He could feel that Master was worried about him, but he didn't know how to dispel Master's worries.

When he was approaching the ring, Qing Su suddenly said: "Don't be afraid."

"Um?"

Qingsu said calmly: "Wang Zaizhi's master can't beat me."

Li Ping'an:...

To be moved is to be truly moved;

But my master's thoughts are really simple.

Looking at his master's back so close, Li Ping'an felt a little warmer in his heart.

…

The rules of the battle for the Heavenly Ranking are basically the same as those for the Earthly Ranking. The points system will be implemented first, followed by the group round-robin and knockout rounds. Starting from the semi-finals, a double-elimination format will be used, focusing on an ornamental attraction.

In today's arena, disciples of the He Zhen Realm have begun to appear.

For example, some disciples who have been in the profession for nineteen years and sixty-eight months are far from comparable to disciples like Li Pingan who have been in the profession for three years.

Li Ping'an had already stolen the limelight yesterday, but he was very low-key today. He barely entered the top 64 knockout round with three wins and three losses, and calmly stopped at the top 32, with his disciple ranking around thirty.

Today he focuses on ‘lucky in winning’ and ‘graceful in losing’.

All the disciples originally wanted to see Li Pingan perform the Exploding Spirit Technique again;

Unfortunately, Li Pingan's opponents today were quite polite, even too polite. Two people wanted to admit defeat directly when they saw Li Pingan. Those who won against Li Pingan gave up in various ways to apologize, for fear of being bombed.

Fortunately, Li Ping'an proactively promised that he would not use the Exploding Spirit Technique today, so he finished the schedule normally.

In the end, Li Ping'an only used spear formations and talismans to fight against the enemy.

Wang Zaizhi became the only disciple in the sect who enjoyed the Explosive Spirit Art.

After his own schedule came to an end, Li Ping'an could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He hid behind his master and meditated with his eyes closed. After a while, he began to take a nap to recover the energy he had lost in the past two days.

After a while, Qing Su turned her head and looked behind her, tilting her head slightly.

In the fairy light, Li Ping'an smiled at the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and fell asleep; he usually liked to relax his frown slightly, and his handsome face was clean and clear.

Qing Su watched quietly for a while, raised her hand and lit a ray of fairy light, wrapping Li Ping'an with the power of the fairy to avoid being disturbed by the people around her.

Not long after, Mu Ningning sneaked over quietly and meditated behind Qing Su;

Mu Ningning also prepared some dishes and snacks, just waiting for Li Pingan to wake up and eat and drink together.

There is a small figure in the distance, raising his head and looking here from time to time.

The Tianbang competition was in full swing, and Li Pingan slept more and more peacefully.

Li Dazhi was busy preparing for the closing ceremony of the competition.

As for the trouble that Li Ping'an needs to prove his own weapon refining method after the competition... Li Dazhi is quite confident and completely justified.
