After hearing Lu Ping's call, Lu Yuanshan came to the forbidden area, outside the Houshan Cave.
Lu Ping went straight to the point and explained two extra-curricular matters.
After learning that there were two extra-curricular tasks to be completed, but there was plenty of time, it would only take one year to implement them, so Lu Yuanshan readily agreed.
"After these green jade bamboos are transplanted back to the sect, you can try to have Zhiwei start refining some green bamboo swords, which will be useful in the future."
"As for the reason, you don't have to ask. It must be beneficial to you and the sect. It is a good thing to enhance your equipment."
"In addition, when eliminating the Sandstorm Beasts, you can try to establish a good relationship with the caravans there to facilitate the sect's possible business dealings in the future."
"These two tasks can be completed without affecting the development of the sect. You can take care of the time."
"Okay, father, leave these two things to me, and I will definitely take care of them for you."
"Well, as for She Qingqing, if she has any needs for learning alchemy, as long as you think it is reasonable and reasonable, try your best to satisfy her."
"Brother and sister Li Weixiao also need more guidance to lay the foundation for cultivation as soon as possible."
Lu Ping had already thought about these two things.
By the time he came out of seclusion, She Qingqing had almost finished studying the alchemy books in "Qingxi Notes", and Lu Ping could guide She Qingqing to try alchemy.
For Li Weixiao and Li Weimiao, it is not a big problem for them to spend one year laying a solid foundation for cultivation.
After hearing Lu Ping's instructions, Lu Yuanshan didn't say much and nodded vigorously to reassure Lu Ping.
He will do his best to handle these matters that are beneficial to the development of the sect.
"And one more thing."
Lu Ping mentioned the matter of retreat and got to the point.
"My father will be in seclusion for a year. He will not come out or wake up within this year. Please try not to disturb him."
"Father……"
Hearing this, Lu Yuanshan suddenly realized that all Lu Ping's previous explanations were in preparation for the upcoming retreat.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried and said: "Father, you were in seclusion for thirty years because of physical illness, and now you have to go into seclusion for another year, but your health..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just in seclusion normally."
Lu Ping said calmly, comforting him in a very calm tone.
"You should have been used to seclusion for a long time. My father may be in seclusion frequently for a long time in the future."
Lu Yuanshan nodded and no longer thought about it after hearing this.
A foundation-building monk often goes into seclusion for several months, or even a year and a half, for the sake of spiritual practice.
This is especially true for crystallization monks, let alone my father, the ancestor of the golden elixir.
For a Jindan Patriarch, one year of retreat is really a short period of time.
Compared with his father's previous thirty years of seclusion, one year passed by in a blink of an eye, and Lu Yuanshan did not feel that it was long.
The sect is also developing in a good direction. Many things need time to ferment. It is reasonable for my father to choose to retreat at this time.
After explaining the retreat, Lu Ping didn't speak again for the time being. He was thinking about what else he needed to tell him.
Seeing that his father didn't say anything and didn't ask him to leave, Lu Yuanshan could only wait quietly. If his father had anything else to explain, he would do his best to handle it.
There was silence for a short while before Lu Ping's voice sounded again.
"Yuanshan, there is one last thing you need to do."
After explaining that he was going into seclusion, Lu Ping thought about it for a while, and then he thought of the evil-dispelling thunder talisman in the system warehouse.
Let’s pass this talisman on.
He took out the evil-warming divine thunder talisman that he had exchanged before, took the talisman himself and floated it outside the cave, placed it in front of Lu Yuanshan, and Lu Ping introduced it briefly.
"This is a first-level high-grade evil-repelling divine thunder talisman. It can restrain evil spirits and ghosts, and can play a big role at critical moments."
"As the leader, you stay in the sect all year round to handle sect affairs, and rarely fight with others, so this time, it is more appropriate to hand this talisman to others."
"My father has been thinking about it for a long time. Please give this talisman to Zhiwei later and give it to her in case she needs it in case of emergencies."
After much deliberation, Lu Ping still decided to pass on the Evil God Thunder Talisman.
Otherwise, after a year of seclusion, the talisman will be useless in your hand, and it will easily become dusty.
As the elder of the Qingshan Sect, Lu Zhiwei has a greater chance of using the magic talisman than the reclusive Lu Yuanshan, and will often lead his disciples out on missions.
Lu Changfeng's side was equipped with a blazing sword box and golden light armor. He could barely protect himself and his combat power was not low.
This time, Lu Ping decided to equip his little girl.
After waking up, I haven't given her any equipment yet.
Lu Yuanshan's side was optimized to become a Tianling root for him.
Seeing the magic talisman in front of him and knowing its effect, Lu Yuanshan carefully put the magic talisman away.
There is really no first-level high-grade spiritual talisman in the sect, just this one.
"Yuanshan, while my father is in seclusion, the sect will be handed over to you for the next year."
After passing down the magic talisman, Lu Ping gave a final explanation and ordered Lu Yuanshan to leave.
"Go ahead and see me again in a year."
Lu Yuanshan saluted and told Lu Ping to take care of himself before turning around and walking away.
Seeing the eldest son's disappearing back, Lu Ping no longer delayed, turned on the [Retreat] function, and adjusted the time to one year of retreat.
After the one-year retreat time was set, Lu Ping immediately felt that the scene in front of him was blurry, as if sleepiness was coming, and he soon temporarily lost consciousness and fell into an endless sleep of nothingness.
There was silence in the cave.
On the other side, after leaving the forbidden area, Lu Yuanshan worked very efficiently. He went to Lu Zhiwei's residence in person as soon as possible and handed the Evil God Thunder Talisman to his little sister.
Moreover, in order to avoid worrying his little sister, Lu Yuanshan, the elder brother, said several times that although Lu Ping would be in seclusion for a year this time, it would be a normal seclusion and he would not suffer any physical illness.
When she learned that her father had gone into seclusion today and would be released from seclusion in a year, Lu Zhiwei nodded and didn't find anything strange at all.
She looked at the talisman in her hand, and her heart felt slightly warm.
Even in retreat, his father still misses him.
In the next more than a month, as Lu Ping retreated, the development of the sect continued in an orderly manner, without being affected by Lu Ping's retreat at all.
Lu Yuanshan was used to being guided by Lu Ping. Hearing Lu Ping's voice, after being in seclusion for more than a month, he was already a little uncomfortable.
Often when passing through the forbidden area in the back mountain, he would glance in the direction of the cave and feel empty in his heart. All the affairs of the sect suddenly fell on his shoulders.
"Am I too dependent on my father?"
After muttering something to himself, Lu Yuanshan shook his head. He shouldn't have such a sense of dependence.
In any case, my father is just in seclusion, and the time is not long, only one year. It is better to work hard and complete the two outside affairs first.
It's a diversion of attention from thinking about my father's retreat.
The next day, Lu Yuanshan summoned his disciples and first handed over the matter of transplanting the green jade bamboo.
Let's see who has time and is willing to work for the sect and transplant back the batch of jade bamboos from Black Mountain. This chapter has been completed!
