CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 180: I AM THE FOUNDING PATRIARCH OF THE CYAN MOUNTAIN SECT, LU PING

When he first saw the effect of the [Three-star Wood Element Spirit Body], Lu Ping’s breathing became a little rapid.

The Wood Element Spirit Body is an excellent physique for cultivation, belonging to the ancient Five Elements Physique, and is on par with the Gold Spirit Body, Water Spirit Body, Fire Spirit Body, and Earth Spirit Body, belonging to the same category.

At the same time, the Wood Element Spirit Body is similar to the previously refreshed [Three-star Transparent Sword Body], and this Wood Element Spirit Body is by no means inferior.

Once any cultivator possesses such a physique, as long as they do not die prematurely, they are bound to congeal a Golden Core in the future, and the Nascent Soul Stage can be anticipated.

As for the user selection, there is nothing to ponder.

The best effect of the Wood Element Spirit Body is achieved when used by a cultivator with a Wood Attribute Main Spirit Root.

Within the Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Yuanshan, who possesses a Wood Attribute Celestial Spirit Root, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

This item must be exchanged for later.

As for the other item, the [Three-star Random Talent], from the introduction, Lu Ping also understood that this item is valuable.

Talent is innate, belonging to inherent talent.

Having a talent for alchemy makes it easier to achieve accomplishments in the path of alchemy in the future.

The same goes for artifact refining, talisman making, beast taming, etc.

You can focus on a specific talent and develop it in a targeted manner.

For example, She Qingqing has a very good talent for alchemy, guiding her to learn alchemy, constantly leading her to learn and develop, benefiting the sect.

The importance of talent is something Lu Ping is very clear about.

This item must be exchanged for later.

After browsing through the effects of various new products, Lu Ping looked at the remaining 560 Reputation Points, feeling a bit troubled.

Exchanging for one barely suffices.

Obviously, it’s impossible to exchange for both.

Currently, the only three-star item available for exchange is the [Three-star Pursuing Dao Heart], requiring 500 Reputation Points.

After exchange, only 60 Reputation Points would remain, which made Lu Ping hesitate.

The rest of the two-star items can be exchanged with 560 Reputation Points.

Among the two-star items, after comparison, Lu Ping decided to first exchange for the [Two-star Spiritual Root Enhancement].

The effect of this item is excellent, worth exchanging for first.

After deducting 100 Reputation Points, Lu Ping exchanged for the [Two-star Spiritual Root Enhancement] and began to ponder over its user.

The first two times this item was used were for Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei, respectively.

It once upgraded Lu Yuanshan’s Wood and Earth Dual Spirit Roots to Wood Attribute Single Spirit Root, which is a Celestial Spirit Root.

The second time, it was used on Lu Zhiwei, enhancing her Gold and Wood Dual Spirit Roots to Gold Attribute Celestial Spirit Root.

Adding Li Weimiao’s Ice Attribute Abnormal Spirit Root, which can also be considered a Celestial Spirit Root, now the Cyan Mountain Sect has three Celestial Spirit Root cultivators.

Speaking of Li Weimiao, Lu Ping has high expectations for this little girl.

Back then, to find her a suitable ice attribute cultivation technique, he worked hard to exchange for the Cloud Water Green Waves from the mall and had Lu Zhiwei teach it to the little girl.

Now, he doesn’t know how diligent this little girl is in her cultivation and what realm she has reached.

Lu Ping called up Li Weimiao’s personal attribute panel to check her cultivation level.

[Realm: Third Layer Qi Cultivation].

Well, not bad.

After all, Li Weimiao has been cultivating for a short time but has basically been advancing one realm per year and is soon breaking through to the Fourth Layer Qi Cultivation.

Compared to her brother Li Weixiao, who started at the same time and is still at the First Layer Qi Cultivation, Li Weimiao’s talent is remarkably good.

To get back on track, now, on whom should this [Two-star Spiritual Root Enhancement] be used? Lu Ping’s first thought was his second son, Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng is the least talented among the three children, with Fire, Wood, and Gold Three Spirit Roots, his strength being slightly inferior to that of his little sister Lu Zhiwei.

As for Lu Zhiwei, she now has the support of the Transparent Sword Body and has practiced the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, refining her Lifebound Flying Sword, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.

Her strength can be glimpsed from her ability to kill the Black Water Profound Snake with two sword slashes back then.

She has no rivals in the Qi Cultivation Stage and should now be considering Foundation Establishment.

At this time, Lu Ping did consider using it on Lu Changfeng to enhance his spiritual root.

However, for a three spirit root, even after enhancement, it would still be only a dual spirit root...

The gap between dual spirit roots and single spirit roots is quite significant; it might be better to choose a dual spirit root sect disciple and cultivate another Celestial Spirit Root.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping did feel a bit troubled and hesitant.

After all, although Lu Changfeng is a bit lacking in talent, he is still his second son, naturally inclined to be protective, with a bias towards him.

However, this time, Lu Ping decided to leave Lu Changfeng alone temporarily.

Lu Changfeng’s current cultivation has reached the peak of the Qi Cultivation Stage, standing at a bottleneck, so he can now consider Foundation Establishment.

Before a successful Foundation Establishment, cultivation holds little significance and does not bring significant improvement.

Once Changfeng establishes his foundation, Lu Ping can exchange for another Spiritual Root Enhancement to upgrade his spiritual root then.

Now, he should reasonably use this [Two-star Spiritual Root Enhancement] on the most suitable candidate.

"Among the sect disciples, who are at the forefront in cultivation and possess dual spirit roots?"

Having decided to enhance a disciple’s spiritual root, Lu Ping took some time browsing through the personal attribute panels of sect disciples.

After repeated comparisons and considerations, he finally shortlisted two candidates.

Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan.

Senior Sister Song possesses Gold and Wood Dual Spirit Roots, like Lu Zhiwei, with her Main Spirit Root being Gold Attribute and her cultivation technique primarily focusing on the gold attribute.

Her current cultivation is at the peak of the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

Zhang Nianchuan, Lu Zhiwei’s direct disciple, possesses Earth and Water Dual Spirit Roots, with his Main Spirit Root being Earth Attribute, and his cultivation has also reached the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

These two are currently the strongest disciples in the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Back then, during the Cyan Mountain Sect’s major competition to select key future cultivation targets, they stood out and won the top two places.

The competition result was Zhang Nianchuan first and Song Minghui second.

According to Lu Ping, these two are the Foundation Establishment seeds of the Cyan Mountain Sect and can attempt to touch the threshold of Foundation Establishment in the next two or three years.

Both are excellent with great potential, but only one can be chosen.

Senior Sister Song or Nian Chuan...

In the two-to-one choice, Lu Ping pondered for a while, ultimately establishing communication with Zhang Nianchuan.

"Nian Chuan, this is Lu Ping, founder of the Cyan Mountain Sect."

The reason for choosing Zhang Nianchuan was simple: Zhang Nianchuan’s overall strength was stronger than Song Minghui, and he was younger than Song Minghui.

In the disciple courtyard, Zhang Nianchuan, who was practicing the Blink Sword Technique, was startled when he heard the voice in his mind.

Frowning in confusion, he looked around but found no one else standing nearby.

The founder of the Cyan Mountain Sect?

Lu Ping?

The ancestor of the Cyan Mountain Sect is indeed also called Lu Ping...

What kind of trick is this guy playing, daring to impersonate the ancestor and engage in such a joke?

Immediately, Zhang Nianchuan became vigilant and, following the communication trail, whispered a question: "Who are you?"
