Upon hearing Lu Ping’s summons, Lu Yuanshan arrived at the Forbidden Area outside the Cave Mansion in the back mountain.
Lu Ping went straight to the point, entrusting two Doorway Affairs to him.
Knowing there were two Doorway Affairs to complete, but with ample ti, taking a year to execute them, Lu Yuanshan readily agreed.
"After transplanting this batch of Cyan Jade Bamboo back to the Sect, you can try having Zhiwei start refining so Cyan Bamboo Swords, which will be useful in the future."
"As for the reason, there’s no need to ask. It’s certainly beneficial for you, beneficial for the Sect, and enhancing your equipnt is a good thing."
"Additionally, when clearing out the Sandstorm Beasts, try to establish good relations with the caravans there, which will facilitate potential business interactions for the Sect in the future."
"These two affairs should be completed without affecting the Sect’s developnt, and you can handle the timing as you see fit."
"Alright, father, leave these tasks to . I will certainly take care of them for you."
"Hmm, as for Qingqing, if she has any needs regarding learning Alchemy, just try to satisfy her as long as it’s reasonable."
"Li Weixiao and Li Weimiao also need to be taught more to lay a foundation for cultivation as soon as possible."
These two matters were already contemplated by Lu Ping.
By the ti he erges from seclusion, She Qingqing will have almost finished comprehending those Alchemy books from the Qingxi Records, and Lu Ping can guide her in attempting Alchemy.
For Li Weixiao and Li Weimiao, spending a year to lay a good cultivation foundation is not a big problem.
Hearing Lu Ping’s instructions, Lu Yuanshan didn’t say much, nodding continually to assure Lu Ping not to worry.
These affairs beneficial to the Sect’s developnt, he would handle with care and diligence.
"And one more thing."
Lu Ping ntioned the matter of his secluded cultivation, getting to the main point.
"I will be in secluded cultivation for a year, and during this year, I will not erge or be conscious, so try not to disturb ."
"Father..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanshan realized for the first ti that all of Lu Ping’s previous instructions were preparations for the forthcoming secluded cultivation.
He couldn’t help but be a bit worried and said, "Father, you previously retreated for thirty years due to health issues, and now you’re going into seclusion for another year. Is it your health..."
"No need to worry, I’m perfectly fine, it’s just a normal secluded cultivation."
Lu Ping said calmly, his tone very steady in reassuring him.
"You should be used to secluded cultivation by now. In the future, I will likely frequently undergo secluded cultivation for long periods."
Lu Yuanshan nodded, hearing this he didn’t think much more.
A Foundation Establishnt Cultivator often undergoes secluded cultivation for several months, even a year or so for cultivation.
A Crystallization Cultivator is even more so, let alone his father, a Golden Core Ancestor.
For a Golden Core Ancestor, a year of secluded cultivation is really quite short.
Compared to his father’s previous thirty years of seclusion, a year passes in the blink of an eye, Lu Yuanshan did not feel it long.
The Sect is also developing in a good direction now, many things require ti to fernt, so it makes sense for his father to choose to enter seclusion at this ti.
Having given his instructions on secluded cultivation, Lu Ping said no more for the ti being, pondering if there was anything else to remind him of.
Seeing his father not speaking or instructing him to leave, Lu Yuanshan could only wait silently, ready to handle any other instructions his father might have.
After a brief silence, Lu Ping’s voice rang out again.
"Yuanshan, there’s one last thing for you to handle."
After instructing about his secluded cultivation and pondering a bit, Lu Ping thought of the Exorcism Divine Thunder Talisman in the system warehouse.
This spirit talisman should be passed on.
He took out the Exorcism Divine Thunder Talisman he exchanged for earlier, and personally brought it outside the Cave Mansion, placing it in front of Lu Yuanshan, Lu Ping explained briefly.
"This is a Tier One Top-Grade Exorcism Divine Thunder Talisman. It can counteract Demon Cultivators and ghosts, playing a significant role at critical monts."
"As Sect Leader, you stay inside the Sect handling Sect affairs most of the ti and rarely engage in magical combat, so this ti, it’s more appropriate for soone else to have this talisman."
"After consideration, I decided that you should give this talisman to Zhiwei for ergencies."
After thinking it through, Lu Ping decided to pass down the Exorcism Divine Thunder Talisman.
Otherwise, with a year of secluded cultivation, keeping the talisman at hand would be useless, only allowing it to gather dust.
As an Elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Zhiwei, compared to the reclusive Lu Yuanshan, had a much higher chance of utilizing the talisman as she frequently led disciples on missions outside.
On the other hand, Lu Changfeng already had the Blazing Sword Box and Golden Armor, providing him with so self-defense capabilities and considerable combat power.
This ti, Lu Ping decided to equip his younger daughter.
He hadn’t given her any equipnt since his awakening.
As for Lu Yuanshan, he did optimize him into a Celestial Spirit Root.
Seeing the talisman materializing in front of him, knowing its effects, Lu Yuanshan carefully put it away.
Within the Sect, Tier One High-grade Spirit Talismans were indeed rare, and there was only this one.
"Yuanshan, during my seclusion, the Sect’s future for the year will be entrusted to you."
Having passed down the talisman, Lu Ping gave a final instruction before bidding Lu Yuanshan to leave.
"Go ahead, co see in a year."
Lu Yuanshan paid his respects, reminding Lu Ping to take care of his health, before finally turning away.
Watching his eldest son’s gradually disappearing silhouette, Lu Ping wasted no ti, activating the [Secluded Cultivation] feature and setting the ti to a year.
Once the year-long secluded cultivation ti was set, Lu Ping imdiately felt the scene before him blur, as if drowsiness had co over him, quickly losing consciousness temporarily, sinking into an endless void slumber.
The Cave Mansion fell into silence.
Elsewhere, after leaving the Forbidden Area, Lu Yuanshan quickly executed his tasks, personally going to Lu Zhiwei’s residence to hand over the Exorcism Divine Thunder Talisman to his younger sister.
Moreover, fearing his younger sister would worry, Lu Yuanshan, as the elder brother, repeatedly assured her that although Lu Ping would be in seclusion for a year this ti, it was normal seclusion without any health issues appearing.
Upon learning that their father was already in seclusion today and wouldn’t erge for another year, Lu Zhiwei nodded in understanding, finding nothing particularly strange about it.
She looked at the talisman in her hand, her heart ward slightly.
Even in seclusion, their father was still thinking of her.
In the following month, with Lu Ping in seclusion, the Sect’s developnt continued systematically and orderly, unaffected by Lu Ping’s retreat.
Lu Yuanshan, accustod to Lu Ping’s guidance and hearing his father’s voice, began feeling a bit uneasy after Lu Ping had been in seclusion for over a month.
Whenever he passed by the Forbidden Area in the back mountain, he would glance in the direction of the Cave Mansion, feeling a sense of emptiness, as the Sect’s matters suddenly all fell upon his shoulders alone.
"Am I too reliant on father?"
He murmured to himself, shaking his head at the thought of such dependency.
After all, his father was just in seclusion, and not for long, just a year, so he might as well strive to complete those two Doorway Affairs to divert his attention from his father’s seclusion.
The next day, Lu Yuanshan gathered the disciples and first instructed them on transplanting the Cyan Jade Bamboo.
Seeing who had the ti and was willing to serve the Sect by transplanting that batch of Cyan Jade Bamboo back from Black Mountain.
