102: Preparation before leaving

Amidst the clinking of cups, Lu Hao was already a little tipsy. Looking at the lively scene before him, he felt a sense of joy.

So, he raised his wine cup and stood up.

As soon as the others saw Lu Hao rise, they all immediately stood up as well.

"Fellow Daoists of Heaven Sword Sect."

Lu Hao said in a clear voice:

"Thank you for the warm hospitality of Heaven Sword Sect. Lu feels very honored. I wish all Fellow Daoists of Heaven Sword Sect advanced Cultivation and an early ascent to the Peak!"

"Moo!"

The Stubborn Ox beside Lu Hao also let out a roar, offering his blessings.

Lu Xiaolong was leaning against Stubborn Ox, fast asleep.

He had originally wanted to drink with Lu Hao, but Lu Hao said children couldn't drink, so he could only sleep.

Now, his chubby little face still bore an expression of grievance.

After Lu Hao finished speaking, he raised his cup and drained it in one gulp.

The other Cultivators, hearing Lu Hao's words, immediately responded:

"Thank you for Lord Lu's blessing!"

With that, they all tilted their heads back and finished the wine in their cups, slowly sitting down as Lu Hao did.

This festive atmosphere lasted for three days, and Lu Hao happily stayed in Heaven Sword Sect for three days.

Three days later, Lu Hao prepared to return to Qingxuan Sect.

Rong Yuanliang presented the resources he had promised earlier, and the entire Sect came out to see him off.

"Everyone, we shall meet again!"

"Brother Rong, we shall meet again!"

Lu Hao cupped his fists and said to the people of Heaven Sword Sect below.

Then, with a flash, he disappeared from before the Heaven Sword Sect.

As soon as Lu Hao left, various voices began to continuously transmit.

"Lord Lu is truly the most astonishing person I have ever seen in my life. So young, yet his Cultivation has reached such a Peak!"

"Especially, Lord Lu's temperament is exceptionally good. He doesn't put on any airs of a powerful person at all. Being with him is truly like bathing in a spring breeze."

"I wonder if I will ever have the chance to see Lord Lu's back in this life..."

"Give up that thought. We and Lord Lu are ultimately not on the same level. He is destined to have a broader world. We should focus on managing our Sect well."

...After leaving Heaven Sword Sect, Lu Hao rode Stubborn Ox back to Qingxuan Sect.

The first thing he did upon his return was to chat with his Master Ling Tian and present him with a large amount of Cultivation resources suitable for his use.

Lu Hao hadn't chatted for long when he saw a small figure run into the main hall of Qing Xuan Prefecture.

"Daddy, Grandmaster, so you two are here."

Ling Tian heard this voice, a look of confusion on his face.

Daddy? Grandmaster?

When did his Disciple have a son? Why did he have no information at all?

Lu Hao felt a bit embarrassed. Lu Xiaolong had been asleep since he hatched.

Then, after waking up, he followed him to Heaven Sword Sect. Ling Tian only saw him for the first time now.

Lu Hao smiled and said to Ling Tian:

"Master, Xiaolong is the Black Dragon that was previously on Qingxuan Sect. He was hatched by my Bloodline, so he has always called me Daddy. It's not a true father-son relationship in the conventional sense."

Ling Tian was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

His Disciple always managed to surprise him every time.

Black Dragon? The Black Dragon, one of the strongest races in the world, was Lu Hao's son?

It was truly outrageous!

"Disciple, I see that you are probably leaving Qingxuan Sect after returning this time?"

"Yes, Master. Once I have prepared the remaining items, I will depart. I wonder if Master would like to come along?

I remember Master once said that when his Cultivation was sufficient, he wanted to travel. With your current strength, you should be able to travel now."

Ling Tian laughed heartily after listening:

"I will not go with you, Master. My lifespan is still very long, and there's no hurry right now. Qingxuan Sect has not yet fully risen.

It still needs us old bones to guard it. When the Sect no longer needs me, I will go out and see the world."

"Then Disciple will take his leave in a few days. Once I establish a territory in a larger world, I will bring you all over!"

"Hahaha, good. Then Master will wait to enjoy the blessings."

Lu Hao, holding Lu Xiaolong, started chatting with Ling Tian in the main hall again.

Lu Xiaolong would occasionally interject, making the Master and Disciple laugh heartily.

For a time, the main hall was filled with an exceptionally warm atmosphere.

Time also slipped away faster in this atmosphere.

Soon, it was when the bright moon hung in the sky. Lu Hao bid farewell to his Master.

Stepping on the clear breeze, accompanied by the moonlight, he returned to his Qingfeng Courtyard.

Thinking that he was about to leave this small courtyard where he had stayed for so many years, Lu Hao still felt a lot of reluctance.

Lu Hao stayed up all night, sitting quietly in the chair below, his mind filled with unknown thoughts.

The next day, as dawn was just breaking.

Lu Hao got up to make the final arrangements for Qingxuan Sect.

This was equivalent to his main base, and the Cultivators within were all helping him Cultivate.

No matter what, he had to ensure that after he left, the Disciples here could safely Cultivate.

He first handed over the various resources given by Heaven Sword Sect to the Hall of Points for processing.

Then, he took out a Heaven Rank top-grade Storage Pouch from his Storage Pouch.

Lu Hao came to the central area of the Sect and placed this Magic Treasure here.

He hung a plaque on it.

Lu Hao personally wrote on it

"Shenbing Pavilion"

three large characters.

Then he entered the Magic Treasure and threw in tens of thousands of Heaven Rank Magic Treasures that he had organized last time.

Lu Hao thought for a moment and then still placed some Spirit Rank and Dao Grade Magic Treasures inside.

When a Qingxuan Sect Disciple's Cultivation reaches Soul Transformation Perfection, he can enter the Shenbing Pavilion.

After they enter, they only need to activate their Cultivation, and all the Magic Treasures within the Shenbing Pavilion will automatically recognize their master.

The fated person will obtain a Magic Treasure, but no matter who it is, they can only take one Magic Treasure.

Of course, his Master was an exception; he was the only one in Qingxuan Sect qualified to receive all the Magic Treasures!

Then Lu Hao went to the main Peaks of the seven prefectures respectively.

He set up a trial ground on each main Peak.

He placed a thousand Puppets in each trial ground, with Cultivation ranging from Qi Refining to Undergoing Tribulation.

On one hand, it was to provide a combat platform for the Sect's Disciples.

Cultivating blindly, the Foundation is ultimately not solid and requires combat for assistance.

Lu Hao allowed every Disciple to come here and battle Puppets of the same Realm.

As long as they could defeat the Puppet, they could receive Points.

In the current Qingxuan Sect, Points had already become a hard currency more important than Spirit Stones.

On the other hand, so many Puppets should be enough to protect Qingxuan Sect from fatal harm.

After setting up the seven trial grounds, Lu Hao took out Black Soil. He had Black Soil command all the Puppets of the Sect.

After all, Black Soil was the most Spiritual Qi-filled among the Puppets he owned.

"Black Soil, after I leave, you will have only one mission: protect Qingxuan Sect!"

"Yes, Master!"
