"The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing; it can also be about handling things calmly and peacefully."
Lu Tao patted the little guy's head and said, "Of course, there's a prerequisite: you have to be strong enough before others will talk to you properly, understand?"
These kids know almost nothing about the martial arts world and can only be taught slowly by Lu Tao and the others.
"Understood, I will work hard to cultivate."
Wu Ming nodded heavily, determined to cultivate diligently and prevent outsiders from bullying the Immortal Sect.
The other little ones also took it to heart.
Next, Lu Tao took out the six thousand pairs of chopsticks he had made in his spare time in Dafeng Town and handed them to He Zongming, asking him to teach them how to gain experience.
The others also went back to cultivate.
Lu Tao also returned to his room, which was next to He Yuanshuang's, and on the other side was the little guy Wu Ming.
Name: Lu Tao.
“Cultivation level: Early stage of Marrow Refining Realm”
"Cultivation Techniques: Heavenly Eye (Perfect), God Slayer (Perfect), Free and Easy Wandering (Perfect), Breath Concealment Technique (Perfect), Primordial Body Refining Technique (Perfect), Flying Divine Feathers (Perfect)... (omitted)"
"Skills: Horse-Taming Master (Perfect), Lu's Hammer Technique (Perfect)."
"Fortune Points: "
"Godslayer" is a sword technique created by Lu Tao by combining thousands of sword techniques, and it also consumed a large number of Creation Points.
Now, Lu Tao's self-created swordsmanship, movement techniques, Heavenly Eye, and Breath Concealment Technique have all reached the mid-level of the Profound Rank. Among them, his swordsmanship is extremely powerful. Although it is only at the mid-level of the Profound Rank, its power exceeds that of the upper-level Profound Rank and is almost comparable to the lower-level Earth Rank.
This is also why the four innate masters from Sunset Mountain believed they were no match for Lu Tao.
"Divine Array (0/10 Beginner)".
After reading a jade slip, Lu Tao discovered it was a sixth-order formation called the Divine Control Formation, primarily designed to resist divine sense probing.
The array jade slip is different from the power transfer jade slip that Chen An gave to Lu Tao before. The array jade slip only records the introduction of the array, how to set it up, and the materials required.
It didn't allow Lu Tao to directly comprehend the formation to a certain level, like the jade slip for transferring skills.
"System, get to work."
Creation Points -10, Divine Array (Beginner).
Creation Points -50, Minor Success.
Creation Points -100, Mastery.
Creation Points -150, Great Success.
Creation Points -250, Divine Array (Perfect).
In the blink of an eye, the points were added, and Lu Tao had completely mastered the arrangement of the Divine Control Array.
Lu Tao then looked at another jade slip...
With divine sense, viewing the jade slip is extremely convenient; a quick scan with divine sense is enough to read all the information in a short time.
Divine Control Array, Blinding Array, Gathering Yuan Array... Tortoise Mystic Array.
There are seven arrays in total, for preventing divine sense, spying, eavesdropping, gathering energy, and protecting the array, etc.
Among them, the Tortoise Mystic Formation was the last jade slip formation that Manager Feng gave to Lu Tao. When fully set up, it can withstand attacks from those at the peak of the Innate Realm.
When adding points, Lu Tao also discovered that the starting point of the Tortoise Mystic Formation was 100 points.
This shows that the Turtle Mystic Formation is as precious as a Rank 1 cultivation technique.
After adding points to the seven formations, 8960 (560*6+5600) Creation Points were consumed.
"Fortune Points: "
Lu Tao thus easily mastered the seven array formations, and then took out some array flags he had obtained earlier from his storage space and began to set up the arrays within the mansion.
Most of these banners came from Red Flower Valley, and some came from Master Xue Luo.
They had basically left the array flags gathering dust in their storage bags, hardly ever using them, but now they've benefited Lu Tao.
Of course, even without the array flags, Lu Tao could make them himself; it just saved him a little time.
Before long, several beams of light appeared above the Immortal Sect's residence, enveloping the entire residence. Outsiders could not see anything inside the residence, nor could they hear any sound.
"Which sect is this? They're only staying for two or three days, why bother setting up an array?"
"The most embarrassing thing in the sect, what a waste of spirit stones."
"Dog Dafu".
Outside the mansion, when the formation suddenly rose, a light screen covered the mansion, attracting the attention of many people around. Some members of the sects even showed expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
They also wanted to set up a formation that provided a strong sense of security.
The Sunset Mountain group, who had already settled in another residence, looked relieved upon seeing this. Fortunately, they had apologized to Lu Tao and hadn't impulsively attacked him. If they had fought back then, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"If you dare to offend someone again, I'll beat you to death."
Elder Shi looked terrified. If he hadn't heard the words "Immortal Sect" back then, he couldn't imagine whether he would still be alive.
Thinking of this, Elder Shi gave his son a good beating.
The other elders, who would usually try to dissuade them, were unusually silent this time, and some even wanted to take action themselves.
"Dad, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please don't hit me, please..."
A piercing scream echoed through the mansion and carried far.
——
[Divine Guardian Array: 0/1 trillion (A sixth-order array that can prevent any innate-level divine sense from spying on it, but cannot prevent innate divine sense from forcibly invading and spying. The array can sense the intrusion and issue a warning.)]
[Gathering Qi Array: 0/1 trillion (A sixth-order array that can prevent the leakage of the heaven and earth's spiritual energy within the array, while simultaneously gathering the heaven and earth's spiritual energy outside the array and converging it within.)]
...
[Turtle Mystic Formation: 0/100 (A fifth-tier formation, effective against all ordinary attacks below the Grandmaster level for 15 minutes, but can only withstand a single attack from a Grandmaster.)]
After setting up the formation, an experience bar appeared.
Unlike other items, formations are divided into ranks, but not grades. There is no distinction between low-grade and mid-grade sixth rank. If you upgrade from sixth rank, you will be upgraded to fifth rank.
"That's actually quite good."
Lu Tao was very happy about this, as he no longer needed to spend so much time grinding for experience.
Of course, with the formation activated to protect everyone, they were already gaining experience points like crazy.
"Wow, Brother Lu, is there anything you can't do?"
Everyone had been watching Lu Tao wander around, sometimes placing a flag, sometimes a spirit stone. In the blink of an eye, the formation was complete.
Not to mention He Yuanshuang, everyone else looked at Lu Tao with either admiration or disbelief.
They had no idea that Lu Tao had this trick up his sleeve.
From crafting weapons at the beginning, to alchemy later, and now to formations...
Not to mention that they also created their own martial arts techniques.
In their eyes, Lu Tao was practically an omnipotent deity.
Lu Tao chuckled and said, "Now everyone can cultivate with peace of mind, but you still need to keep the Breath Concealment Technique running at all times."
The Concealing Breath Technique doesn't consume much energy; otherwise, no one would use it all the time to pretend to be weak while actually being strong.
During this period, Lu Tao's experience in the Breath Concealment Technique was also far ahead of other cultivation methods.
"good."
Everyone responded enthusiastically.
Now that we have these formations, living in the Immortal Sect's mansion is not only more free than living in the Sky Cloud Inn, but also much safer.
“Brother Lu, these little guys seem to be unable to lift their arms. Why don’t we let them rest for a while?”
As He Yuanshuang passed by the large courtyard in the middle of the mansion, she saw several little ones diligently washing chopsticks and felt a little sorry for them.
Lu Tao calmly said, "No pain, no gain. Let them keep grinding. Once they've done it for two hours, I'll teach them cultivation. Otherwise, they won't cherish the opportunity to cultivate."
Lu Tao did not soften his heart. That's how the martial arts world is. If you don't have talent, you can only rely on hard work.
If they rely entirely on Lu Tao and don't put in any effort themselves, or fail to cultivate a resolute martial spirit, then even if their cultivation level reaches a high level in the future, they will still be useless.
It should be noted that before Wu Ming began cultivating, he often tended the fire for Lu Tao, his face turning red from the heat, and he also washed chopsticks quite often.
Wu Ming has had a strong desire for martial arts since he was a child. Now he is cultivating very hard and his cultivation level has surpassed Chen An's. He is the person with the highest cultivation level besides Lu Tao.
The current Xu Le and his eight companions all come from families with martial arts practitioners at least at the late stage of the Skin Refining realm. Relatively speaking, they have endured very little hardship. Lu Tao cannot allow them to develop the idea that 'everything is easily obtained'.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Lu Tao's voice wasn't quiet, so all the kids heard it. Lu Tao had specifically told them to hear, and the kids responded enthusiastically.
They didn't complain about being tired or suffering.
"Brother Lu, you really know how to teach people." After walking a distance, He Yuanshuang said admiringly.
Lu Tao laughed and said, "Brother Lu knows a lot. Would you like Brother Lu to teach you something else?"
"Yes, I want to know. What should I teach you?" He Yuanshuang was very happy.
Lu Tao chuckled, "I'll teach you cultivation... well, to be precise, I'll open a small fire pit for you."
"Oh, isn't that unfair?"
He Yuanshuang was conflicted. She didn't want Lu Tao to feel unfairly treated by the other members of the Immortal Sect because of her, which would affect Lu Tao's image in everyone's eyes.
Lu Tao chuckled and said, "No, it won't work on them anyway, I'll only teach you."
"ah?"
He Yuanshuang was a little confused. What did it mean that others couldn't learn it and could only teach it to her?
He Yuanshuang was surprised, but she felt that Brother Lu's smile was a little mischievous at this moment.
"Alright then, when will Brother Lu teach me?" He Yuanshuang didn't think much of it.
Lu Tao said, "I can't teach you now, I'll wait until later. Go and cultivate."
"Hmph, I can't teach you even if I want to. I'm leaving."
