Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Master Has Gone Mad, Even Bestowing an Immortal Artifact
The celestial phenomenon above Qingyun Peak lasted for another three days before it finally dissipated.
Lu Qinglian emerged from the medicinal pool, her three-thousand strands of black hair reaching her waist. With a swing of her fist, Fire Lotus True Qi burst forth, causing the entire barrier and cave dwelling to shake.
“The ‘Divine Elephant Suppressing Demon Body Refining Skills’ have at last reached great accomplishment. Now I can also help my master with his troubles.”
Lu Qinglian picked out a long dress and her entire demeanor was transformed anew.
Firelight seemed to flow within Lu Qinglian’s black hair.
The Martial King Divine Physique had made minor achievements, she had finally taken a small step on the path to becoming a Martial God!
When Lu Qinglian stepped out of the cave dwelling, even Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but take notice.
The little girl he had once protected had finally cultivated the ability to stand on her own.
With the Martial King Divine Physique just beginning to manifest, and the talismans and elixir pills that Lu Changsheng had prepared for her, as long as she didn’t encounter a Supreme Elder from the Demon Sects at the Void Refinement Realm, there were few who could kill her.
In the future, this disciple could also help him by dealing with some of the Demon Sects’ underlings.
“Very good.”
Lu Changsheng looked over the peerless genius he had cultivated with satisfaction.
Each disciple had the potential to ascend to the Immortal Realm with him someday, and if he could nurture a Martial God, Immortal Emperor, or a Saint of that caliber, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t need to act personally in the future—he could simply have one of his disciples take action.
“Do you like this magical treasure?”
With a flip of his hand, Lu Changsheng revealed the Holy Fire Immortal Ring.
“Is this an Immortal Artifact? It certainly looks nice.”
Lu Qinglian felt the terrifying Immortal Qi contained within the Holy Fire Immortal Ring.
“Since you like it, and this Immortal Artifact suits your Fire Lotus True Qi, I, as your master, hereby bestow it to you.”
Lu Changsheng was quite nonchalant about it.
The Holy Fire Immortal Ring had limited use in the hands of Lu Changsheng.
For offensive magical treasures, Lu Changsheng had the Fierce Sword Annihilation; for defense, he had the Mysterious Yellow Tower and the Taiji Dao Robe; and for pill refining, he had the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron.
So, Lu Changsheng bestowed this Immortal Artifact to Lu Qinglian, who cultivated the Fire Lotus True Qi.
At Lu Qinglian’s pace of cultivation, she would soon be able to activate the Holy Fire Immortal Ring. Even if she had just one opportunity to attack, that would still be a method to save her life.
“Master, you’re going to bestow this Immortal, Immortal Artifact to Lian?”
Lu Qinglian was greatly surprised; she knew her master was generous, but not to the extent of casually handing over an Immortal Artifact to a disciple at the Dao Palace realm, right?
Even the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect couldn’t bring himself to give the Holy Fire Immortal Ring directly to his son, instead entrusting it to the Supreme Elder who protected his son.
A Dao Palace realm disciple could only wield an Immortal Artifact for a single blow before essentially awaiting their demise and also risked easily losing the Immortal Artifact.
Immortal Artifacts, serving as the Sect-Defending Treasures of the major sects, were rare; not all powerhouses in the Void Refinement Realm even had one.
And her master just gave it to her like this?
And the reason for the reward was that she thought the treasure looked nice?
“From now on, this Immortal Artifact belongs to you.”
Lu Changsheng casually bestowed the Immortal Artifact without caring about any system rewards.
In the future, he would have plenty of Immortal Artifacts; rather than letting them gather dust, it was better to give them to his disciples as a trump card for saving their lives.
The Martial King Divine Physique could utilize any weapon, and the Holy Fire Immortal Ring was no exception.
“Master is really good to Lian. Once Lian can skillfully use this Immortal Artifact, I will defeat all enemies for Master!”
Lu Qinglian accepted the Holy Fire Immortal Ring. This Immortal Artifact had already had the imprint of the Joyous Union Sect erased by Lu Changsheng, and when he further gifted it to Lu Qinglian, he also erased his own imprint, rendering it an unowned item.
Lu Qinglian infused the Holy Fire Immortal Ring with Fire Lotus True Qi, and it let out a clear and crisp cry of a phoenix, echoing through Qingyun Peak.
“Immortal Artifacts possess spirit. They can exhibit their greatest power only when they encounter the right master,” Sect Leader said.
Lu Changsheng felt the joy emanating from the Holy Fire Immortal Ring, and it was precisely because he knew his second disciple was in harmony with the artifact that he granted it to her.
The Holy Fire Immortal Ring offered no resistance and was easily refined by Lu Qinglian, becoming her very own magical treasure.
“Stop there,” Sect Leader quickly intervened as he saw Lian’s face flush with excitement, wanting to test the might of the Holy Fire Immortal Ring.
This magical treasure wasn’t just any ordinary item. It was an attack-type Immortal Artifact and, if not handled properly, could destroy the entirety of Qingyun Peak.
Lu Changsheng had cultivated on Qingyun Peak for a long time and had developed a deep affection for this cave dwelling.
“Oh.”
Lian scratched her head and reluctantly withdrew the Holy Fire Immortal Ring back into her body.
She was already contemplating finding an opportunity to slip away from Mount Shu to test the power of the Immortal Artifact.
“In future sparrings with the elders of Mount Shu’s various peaks, you must not use the Immortal Artifact, or else your master will expel you from the sect,” Sect Leader said, worried that Lu Qinglian, with her Dao Palace Realm cultivation, might destroy mountain peaks or accidentally kill Mount Shu elders with the artifact, thus imposing the most severe punishment.
“Master, please don’t expel Lian from the sect. Lian will only use this magical treasure against the Demon Sects,” Lu Qinglian pleaded, knowing well the power of the Immortal Artifact and naturally not intending to use it against her own people.
“Good, you have perfected the Earth Rank high-level Cultivation Technique ‘Fire Lotus True Scripture.’ Your master will now impart you with the Heaven Rank high-level Cultivation Technique ‘Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture’,” Sect Leader continued to nurture his disciple, officially imparting a Heaven Rank cultivation technique.
‘Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture,’ a technique created by the ninth Sect Leader of Mount Shu, the Immortal Green Lotus herself, was even sufficient for use in the Void Refinement Realm.
“This technique, when combined with the Earth Fire from Fire Lotus Peak for cultivation, can achieve twice the results with half the effort,” Sect Leader said.
[Ding, you rewarded your disciple Lu Qinglian with the Heaven Rank high-level Cultivation Technique ‘Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture,’ earning the Teaching Return Reward one hundredfold: an Immortal Rank low-level Cultivation Technique ‘Red Lotus Karma Fire Art.’]
This time, the system returned another Immortal Rank Technique capable of causing a sensation in Mount Shu, a technique not even recorded in the Scripture Pavilion of Mount Shu.
Lu Changsheng then rewarded Lian with an Innate Spirit Treasure of low-tier Earth Rank “Unparalleled Overlord Spear” and a mid-tier Heaven Rank Martial Technique ‘Azure Dragon Nine Forms,’ which were rewards from prior impartations.
[Ding, you rewarded your disciple Lu Qinglian with the Innate Spirit Treasure of low-tier Earth Rank “Unparalleled Overlord Spear,” earning the Teaching Return Reward a thousandfold: a high-tier Innate Spirit Treasure “Fire Dragon Divine Spear.”]
[Ding, you awarded your disciple Lu Qinglian with the mid-tier Heaven Rank Martial Technique ‘Azure Dragon Nine Forms,’ earning the Teaching Return Reward seventyfold: a high-tier Heaven Rank Martial Technique ‘Azure Dragon Twelve Forms.’]
Since the Holy Fire Immortal Ring is an Immortal Artifact, with Dao Palace Realm cultivation, it’s not possible to use the Immortal Artifact as a main weapon. Normally, it’s best to use Innate Spirit Treasures.
Today, there was only one more opportunity left to reward her.
Lu Qinglian had just achieved a minor level of perfection in her Martial King Divine Physique, having mastered the ‘Divine Elephant Suppressing Demon Body Refining Skills.’ It was not advisable to continue Body Tempering for a short period; thus, Sect Leader did not impart the mid-tier Heaven Rank Nine Dragons Refinement Technique. Instead, he passed on the high-tier Acquired Spirit Treasure “Phoenix Feather Universe Clothes” returned from the previously granted “Purple Brilliance Battle Clothes.”
[Ding, you rewarded your disciple Lu Qinglian with the high-tier Acquired Spirit Treasure “Phoenix Feather Universe Clothes,” earning a thousandfold Teaching Return Reward: a high-tier Innate Spirit Treasure “Red Lotus Battle Skirt.”]
“…”
Having gained a high-tier Innate Spirit Treasure skirt, Sect Leader could only save it for Lu Qinglian to use in the future.
With her Martial King Divine Physique, Lu Qinglian could easily comprehend any martial technique. In just a few days, she had fully grasped the fifth form of ‘Azure Dragon Nine Forms.’
With the foundation of ‘Fire Lotus True Scripture,’ Lu Qinglian’s speed of cultivating ‘Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture’ was extremely fast.
For the next few days, Sect Leader would first impart techniques or reward treasures to Lin Qingzhi and Shen Xiaoyao.
