CHAPTER 481: CHAPTER 451: ENDURING STRENGTH, RED FLAME CELESTIAL SWORD

"Distant Mountain."

Lu Ping spoke.

"Father."

Upon hearing Lu Ping’s voice, Lu Yuanshan respectfully responded.

Lu Ping’s voice slowly echoed, "Distant Mountain, your current cultivation has reached the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Perhaps you can find a way to earn more Battle Merit Points to exchange for a Five Elements Crystal at the Dubhe Institute and attempt to break through to the Crystallization Stage."

"Breaking through to the Crystallization Stage... it’s what I desire as well!"

No sooner had he started speaking, Lu Yuanshan’s hands moved swiftly, consuming magical power, wielding the Golden Crow Sword, and once again slaying a Tier Two Demon Beast.

"Since you desire it, it can be arranged."

Lu Ping made an acknowledgment, opened the System Mall.

"Distant Mountain, let me aid you."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanshan was initially stunned, but quickly reacted with a hint of joy.

Father is about to employ his immortal-like methods again.

There’s a bit of anticipation in the heart.

"Rise to the skies, and keep a safe distance from the Demon Beast Group; I am about to act."

Lu Ping instructed.

Lu Yuanshan nodded, unfolded the Wind Thunder Wings, and in an instant soared into the sky, distancing himself by dozens of yards from the Demon Beast Group.

In the System Mall, Lu Ping’s gaze swept over and found [Three-Star - Enduring Strength].

The effect of this item, upon designating a sect member, is that the member can maintain peak strength for twenty-four hours.

During these twenty-four hours, or two days, the member will not experience fatigue, weakness, or a shortage of Qi Blood and Magical Power.

This item’s exchange cost is 1000 Reputation Points.

Unlike the previous Bone Demon Cliff operation, Lu Yuanshan has the aid of Crystal Power.

With the strength of the Crystallization Stage, Lu Yuanshan single-handedly has the power to clear out a Demon Beast Group numbering over a thousand.

The strength gap between the Crystallization Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage is not just a slight difference; it’s a world apart.

Although it can’t make Lu Yuanshan’s strength reach the Crystallization Stage once more, once empowered with [Three-Star - Enduring Strength].

Given Lu Yuanshan’s Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment strength, it’s enough to deal with this group of Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts.

Moreover, Lu Ping’s gaze also landed on [Three-Star - Red Flame Celestial Sword].

This is a combat assistance type item, with an exchange cost of 800 Reputation Points.

Its effect is, upon designating a sect member, nine Red Flame Celestial Swords will appear around the member for automatic defense against enemies.

The power of each Red Flame Celestial Sword can reach the early-stage Foundation Establishment.

Once this effect is empowered, it’s as if there are nine early-stage Foundation Establishment helpers assisting Lu Yuanshan in defense against demon beast attacks and actively engaging to slay demon beasts, earning Battle Merit Points for him.

In Lu Ping’s plan, with [Three-Star - Enduring Strength] and [Three-Star - Red Flame Celestial Sword], after these empowerments on Lu Yuanshan, it will certainly multiply his efficiency in slaying demon beasts.

In this way, a substantial amount of Battle Merit Points can be obtained.

No need for hesitation, Lu Ping immediately deducted 1800 Reputation Points, exchanged for [Three-Star - Enduring Strength] and [Three-Star - Red Flame Celestial Sword].

After selecting Lu Yuanshan as the target for use, these effects began to take effect.

Lu Yuanshan, prepared, soon discovered that within his body, the state of magical power became extremely stable.

The magical power that was consumed earlier astonishingly recovered in an instant.

Qi Blood and Magical Power both restored to peak state.

"Father, what is this?"

He was just communicating to inquire why his magical power had recovered and become extremely stable, as if it couldn’t be depleted, and what exactly was going on.

In the next moment, Lu Yuanshan saw around him, suddenly with a swish, scarlet lights appearing.

Moreover, these scarlet lights contained the might of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

High in the sky, temporarily out of the attack range of demon beasts, Lu Yuanshan’s face showed an expression of confusion.

Upon closer inspection, he saw nine energy forms resembling flying swords hovering around him.

Judging by their shapes, they were scarlet flying swords with flames flowing over their blades.

"Father, are these... magical artifacts?"

Lu Yuanshan immediately communicated to ask, feeling a bit unbelievable.

For these nine flying swords all exhibited the might of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

This phenomenon is unlike ordinary magical artifacts; there are nine appearing at once.

"These are Red Flame Celestial Swords, capable of automatically defending against enemies and actively initiating attacks, assisting you in slaying demon beasts."

Lu Ping explained, casually mentioning the effect of [Three-Star - Enduring Strength].

"Additionally, you must have noticed that the magical power within your body has restored to a peak state."

"Moreover, this magical power will become stable and enduring in a short period."

"That is to say, in the next twenty-four hours, your magical power, no matter how much you consume or perform big moves, will not diminish."

"Your spirit will also be maintained at peak state."

After Lu Ping’s explanation, Lu Yuanshan’s eyes lit up.

No need to express an astonished look or exclaim the miraculous.

He had already witnessed various magical methods performed by his father before.

"Thank you, Father!"

Externally, Lu Yuanshan was excited beyond words, already impatient to test the effects.

The reason his father imparted these two miraculous effects right now, Lu Yuanshan, upon thinking briefly, could guess it was for dealing with this demon beast group.

In this way, his strength could be sustained, aided by nine Red Flame Celestial Swords, making the task of clearing these demon beasts twice as effective with half the effort.

Lu Ping merely nodded lightly.

After empowering Lu Yuanshan, he said no more.

Lu Yuanshan understood, knowing this meant there were no more words needed, and to quickly act against the demons.

Swoosh.

Unfolding the Wind Thunder Wings, Lu Yuanshan dived headlong into the Demon Beast Group without hesitating in entering the lion’s den.

"Lu Daoist!"

While fiercely slaying demon beasts, Xu Shouye, upon seeing Lu Yuanshan diving into the Demon Beast Group, couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

The Sect Leader of the Cyan Mountain Sect is this valiant?

Daring to venture into the Demon Beast Group.

Swish, swish, swish.

Faced with the mighty number of surrounding demon beasts, inclusive of Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts, the Red Flame Celestial Sword swiftly took action.

Nine Red Flame Celestial Swords, centered around Lu Yuanshan, with sword hilts inward, sword tips outward, stretched out into the void, commencing offense and defense.

Roar!

Three Tier One Demon Beasts, upon seeing Lu Yuanshan land beside them, their eyes immediately showed a greedy look, seeing Lu Yuanshan as prey, and attacked towards him.
