CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 348: DEMON CULTIVATOR OF BLACK BRILLIANCE MOUNTAIN

Lu Yuanshan took out this note at the moment, naturally to help Zhang Nianchuan.

Lu Yuanshan slowly said: "Among the disciples I have favored in Cyan Mountain Sect in recent years, you are one of the top, and your talent is among the best in your age group."

"In the future, the sect also needs a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like you who has great perseverance and great courage."

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not say much more."

"This scroll of notes records in detail my experiences in Foundation Establishment back then. I hope it will help you this time."

"Additionally, take this too."

Before finishing his words, Lu Yuanshan took out a portion of Moonlight Powder from his Storage Bag.

"Moonlight Powder can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by ten percent. You may take it together."

"Sect Leader... this..."

Seeing Lu Yuanshan being so generous, not only taking out his Foundation Establishment experiences but also giving a portion of Moonlight Powder, Zhang Nianchuan hesitated slightly, feeling a burst of warmth, but was embarrassed to accept it.

"Nianchuan, since you are determined to establish your foundation soon, with your own ideas, all I can do is provide this."

"Compared to you finding the Water and Wood Cave Heaven, this scroll of Foundation Establishment notes and Moonlight Powder are just small toys."

"Seclude yourself well for Foundation Establishment, I await your emergence."

After speaking, Lu Yuanshan waved his hand.

"You may go."

Zhang Nianchuan no longer declined, solemnly accepting the Foundation Establishment notes and Moonlight Powder, then gave Lu Yuanshan a deep bow before turning to leave.

Watching Zhang Nianchuan’s departing silhouette, Lu Yuanshan remained silent for a long time.

Hopefully, Zhang Nianchuan succeeds in Foundation Establishment this time. Otherwise, this might be the last time seeing him.

"Father."

After being alone for a while, Lu Yuanshan went to Cyan Lotus Peak, to the rear mountain Cave Mansion, and informed Lu Ping of Zhang Nianchuan’s decision to risk Foundation Establishment.

He also told Lu Ping about giving Zhang Nianchuan the Foundation Establishment notes and Moonlight Powder.

Lu Yuanshan hoped Lu Ping could lend some assistance.

If Zhang Nianchuan perishes during the Foundation Establishment process, it would be a great loss not just to Cyan Mountain Sect losing a talent, but also a heavy feeling for Lu Yuanshan, who didn’t wish to see Zhang Nianchuan die prematurely.

"Not relying on the Foundation Establishment Pill for secluded cultivation, Nianchuan is indeed quite courageous."

"In the younger generation within Cyan Mountain Sect, besides Li Weimiao, the one I favor most as a father is Nianchuan."

"Rest assured, though, this step of Foundation Establishment, ultimately relies on him to complete."

"As a father, I will find ways to escort him as much as possible."

Lu Ping’s response brought a joy to Lu Yuanshan’s heart.

"Then I’ll thank father in advance for Nianchuan."

"Hmm."

After sending Lu Yuanshan away, Lu Ping thought for a while and opened the System Mall, searching inside and found an item [Two-star - Breakthrough Bottleneck].

This item’s effect could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.

Furthermore, after refreshing the System Mall ten consecutive times, Lu Ping did not obtain any items beneficial to Foundation Establishment.

A portion of Foundation Establishment notes, plus a portion of Moonlight Powder, and an item [Two-star - Breakthrough Bottleneck], hopefully, Nianchuan can succeed in Foundation Establishment.

Next, it depends on his luck.

Whether Foundation Establishment succeeds or not still depends on Zhang Nianchuan.

After completing this operation, Lu Ping’s gaze shifted to the system map, and this time he made a discovery.

Two small red dots appeared on the map.

These were two hidden tasks.

Regarding hidden tasks, Lu Ping hadn’t encountered them for quite some time; these required personally drifting over to investigate.

The position of the nearest small red dot was on Black Brilliance Mountain in Yunbei County, roughly thirty-six thousand miles from Cyan Mountain Sect.

Lu Ping’s journey there lasted six or seven days.

The exploration result came out smoothly.

[Conquest Task: Within Black Brilliance Mountain, Demon Cave Cultivators are harming citizens, refining Demonic Dao Magical Artifacts. Please dispatch disciples to clear out that group of Demon Cultivators.]

[Quantity: 10]

[Combat Power: First-Layer Foundation Establishment to Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment]

[Status: Settled on Black Brilliance Mountain two months ago, roaming on Black Brilliance Mountain]

[Completion Rewards: Reputation 2000, Three-star Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman × 3]

...

This hidden task requires cleaning the targets, whose strength is not weak; all ten Demon Cave Cultivators’ strength is in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Upon seeing the word Demon Cave, Lu Ping decided this task must be completed.

Against all Demon Cultivators of the world, Lu Ping has always hated evil and removes each he encounters.

Moreover, during the magical chaos in Lushan County back then, Demon Cave was one of the Demonic Dao forces that attacked Cyan Mountain Sect.

And the reward for completing this hidden task, 2000 Reputation points, is not low, plus three Three-star level Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talismans.

Lu Ping has personally experienced the power of such talismans.

Next was the second hidden task.

The location of this task was within Lushan County.

[Conquest Task: Within Hengyue Mountain Range, Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts broke out of the mountain range, disturbing neighboring towns. Please dispatch disciples to clear out those Demon Beasts.]

[Quantity: 19]

[Combat Power: Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation to Second-Layer Foundation Establishment]

[Status: Already disturbing neighboring towns, needs urgent clearance]

[Completion Rewards: Reputation 1020, Three-star Cultivation Cave Mansion × 1]

...

Having spent some time to explore the second hidden task, Lu Ping returned to Cyan Lotus Mountain a day later.

Lu Ping summoned Lu Yuanshan and instructed him on the two hidden tasks.

Due to opponents reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, the current cultivation level of Cyan Mountain Sect disciples is decisively insufficient.

Thus, only Lu Yuanshan and his three siblings could solve them.

Lu Yuanshan volunteered, deciding to lead the team.

The next day, Lu Yuanshan set off with Lu Zhiwei, first destination being those Demon Cave Demon Cultivators on Black Brilliance Mountain.

Upon arrival at Black Brilliance Mountain, they found the Demon Cultivators’ stronghold and began their slaying operation in just two days.

"Who dares to attack us?"

"I see you’re tired of living!"

A Demon Cultivator of Second-Layer Foundation Establishment quickly reacted after Lu Yuanshan attacked, immediately summoning a Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, calling forth seven ghosts to attack fiercely, with a grim demeanor and intense killing intent.

Lu Yuanshan charged forward, sparing no effort, directly deploying the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword and Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc.

With two Magical Artifacts, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword attacked forward, Sword Qi surging.

The Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi acted as a Defensive Spiritual Artifact, protecting his side, ready to ensure Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei’s safety at any time.

Facing Demon Cultivators, whose tactics are insidious and treacherous, there is no defense; even if his own strength was higher by one or two Small Realms, Lu Yuanshan had no intention of underestimating the enemy and chose to go all out.

"Hmph!"

Regarding the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner as such Demonic Dao Magical Artifact, Lu Yuanshan’s expression was extremely cold, knowing well how many innocent mortals would be harmed by refining such Demonic Dao Magical Artifacts, wielding the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword’s aggressive attack mercilessly.
