The Lu family's foundation-building monks all live halfway up the mountain. A formation has been set up here, and the spiritual energy is much richer than at the foot of the mountain, making it more suitable for foundation-building monks to practice.

The entire Chongming Peak is covered by a formation called "Clouds and Mist".

In daily life, this formation can gather and distribute the spiritual energy of the surrounding spiritual veins, and can form fog to obscure the enemy's consciousness during attack or defense.

Similarly, there are always family elders guarding the foot of Chongming Peak all year round, and the one guarding here now is Lu Hao.

Lu Ping came to find Lu Hao and said respectfully: "Uncle Lu Hao, I have some matters regarding cultivation that I want to ask the clan leader. I hope to go to Chongming Peak."

Lu Hao smiled when he heard this and said, "The old patriarch has already told you that you don't need to inform me if you want to go. There's no need to inform me every time."

"Family rules must be followed."

Lu Hao felt relieved after hearing this. “There are fewer and fewer disciples in the family who abide by the rules like you. Some guys in the family have no rules at all.” His words seemed a little harsh.

Lu Ping naturally knew what was going on. Lu Hao was a conservative person who liked to follow the rules. It was Uncle Lu Hao who discovered what happened this year.

He didn't want to talk about it any more, and without further greeting, he said "bye" and walked up the mountain path.

Lu Ping used the Swift Wind Step to climb up from the bottom of the mountain, quickly climbing along the stone steps opened up in the forest, and soon arrived at the mountainside. As for the top of the mountain, it was where the formation was located, and non-family foundation-building cultivators were not allowed to go there.

There is a piece of artificially repaired flat land on the mountainside. When Lu Ping walked here, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful when sensing the spiritual energy around him. The spiritual energy on the mountain is only for foundation-building cultivators. Even if he is very much loved, he cannot practice here.

When he arrived outside the clan leader's cave, he looked at the protective formation outside the cave, saluted, and shouted loudly, "Lu Ping, the younger generation disciple, greets the clan leader."

The old patriarch’s name is Lu Xuanyuan, but Lu Ping is a junior so how can he call him by his name?

In the center of the cave stood an old man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a light green Taoist robe embroidered with cranes and clouds, which turned out to be a top-grade magical weapon.

His spiritual consciousness seemed to sense Lu Ping outside and immediately ended his practice.

"Come in!" A voice came slowly from the white fog, and then the vast white fog in front of Lu Ping rolled over, revealing a safe passage that was wide enough for one person to walk through.

Lu Ping walked along the passage into the cave and saw the old man. He said respectfully, "Greetings, great grandfather."

The Lu family cultivators form a generation of thirty years, and they can be renamed when registering in the family tree. All names are single characters, and those of the same generation are called brothers. Those of different generations are called uncles and nephews. When they reach the stage of building the foundation, they will be given the character "Xuan". Those who have made great contributions will also be given the character "Xuan".

The management of family monks is not as strict as that of the sect, but there must also be family etiquette and rules, which are also the way for the family to establish itself.

The old man looked at Lu Ping carefully and said with a smile: "Really good, you are worthy of being a rare genius disciple of my Lu family in a hundred years. It has only been less than half a year and you have broken through to the late stage of Qi training."

Lu Ping said quickly: "Thanks to that bottle of Qiling Pill, otherwise my grandson would not have been able to break through so quickly."

"Don't be modest. The Qiling Pill only has the effect of accumulating spiritual power. It is also a small bottleneck in the late stage of Qi training. The fact that you can break through so quickly shows that you are also working hard."

When Lu Ping heard this, he was naturally very happy. How could he not be happy to receive praise from the elders of the family, especially the recognition from the pillar of the family and the strongest foundation-building cultivator, when he had already been integrated into the family?

But no matter how happy he was, he must not get carried away, so he quickly replied respectfully: "Grandpa, you are too kind. I just did some of my duties, but I don't deserve such praise."

"Humph, what a responsibility! If every member of my Lu family could practice as hard as you, Ping'er, the Lu family would have no worries about not prospering. Those useless ones are almost thirty years old and haven't even reached the late stage of Qi training."

Lu Xuanyuan seemed to be thinking of something unhappy.

Lu Ping naturally knew what it was. It was the same thing. Some of those cousins ​​were obsessed with worldly affairs. This year, one of them lost his virginity before he was thirty years old, which caused quite a stir.

It was inconvenient for him to talk about this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "My grandson's spiritual eyes can now be opened and closed freely without any abnormal phenomena. I want to learn some magic to help the family."

When Lu Xuanyuan heard this, he understood why Lu Ping went up the mountain to find him. He was probably trying to gain some experience in the world.

Seeing that Lu Ping had reached the late stage of Qi training, he was unwilling to stop him, but after all, his spiritual eyes were coveted by others, so it would be better to check them out for the sake of caution.

"Oh, let me take a good look, you use it on me first."

Hearing this, Lu Ping understood that his great-grandfather was wondering if he could see it. If even he, who was in the late stage of foundation building, couldn't see it, then he could display it and hide it from others, thus greatly improving his safety.

He replied, "Yes."

Lu Ping channeled his spiritual power to his eyes, and the movement of things in his spiritual eyes seemed to be slowed down. This was a manifestation of his insight. Afterwards, many spiritual lights appeared on Lu Xuanyuan, the subject of his vision. The brightest lights were on his waist, feet, and robes.

When Lu Xuanyuan saw that Lu Ping did not have any strange thoughts or spiritual fluctuations after answering, he moved his mind, pinched his left hand and performed the detection technique. He saw a milky white light covering Lu Ping, and the light surrounded Lu Ping for a few breaths before disappearing.

"Ping'er, did you use your spiritual eyes just now?"

I was shocked to see my great grandfather suddenly cast a spell, thinking something had gone wrong, but I was relieved when I saw it was a detection spell to detect the fluctuation of spiritual energy. At this moment, when I heard this, a thought flashed through my mind, I was afraid that my great grandfather could not see whether I had cast the spiritual eyes.

"My grandson has already used his Spirit Eyes."

Afraid that the great grandfather would not believe it, he added, "I can see that the robe and shoes that the great grandfather is wearing are a magical instrument."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Hearing this, Lu Xuanyuan was stunned. It was normal to be able to tell that the robe was a magic weapon, after all, the fluctuations of spiritual energy were conspicuous. However, these shoes were not an accelerating magic weapon but a magic weapon that concealed its own aura.

He secretly sighed in his heart, "He can see this, his spiritual eyes are indeed extraordinary."

He thought again that if he couldn't see the fluctuations of spiritual energy, then there would probably be few people below the Jindan level who could see it. The possibility of Ping'er's spiritual eyes being exposed would be less, and with this advantage, it would definitely not be exposed.

He sighed inwardly again, and decided not to stop him, allowing Lu Ping to go out and use his spiritual eyes.

"Ping'er, since you can control your spiritual eyes and won't be detected by outsiders, it's natural for you to contribute to the family. But be careful. The spiritual eyes can only detect. Fighting with others depends on spiritual methods and magic tools."

"Here are two magic weapons. I don't need them anymore, so I'll give them to you." After saying that, he took out a storage bag that he had prepared long ago from his lapel and handed it to Lu Ping.

He also said, "The way to practice is persistence. Practice is the foundation of life. You must persevere. You must not neglect your practice when you are away from home."

"First, gain some experience on Chongming Island before going to other areas."

He then reminded her, "As for exposing your means of detection, just tell me about the detection spells you practiced..."

Lu Ping stood there respectfully, listening to his great-grandfather's lecture, and answered yes every time Lu Xuanyuan said something.

Seeing Lu Ping answering his question, Lu Xuanyuan seemed to realize that Lu Ping had grown up and had his own ideas. He had a lot of things in his mind but couldn't say them. After a moment of silence, he said, "You don't need to come to visit me again after you get the mission from the Foreign Affairs Hall."

Lu Ping was thinking about what his great grandfather said, and he was suddenly confused when he heard this. What did he do? Why did his great grandfather suddenly say this! He quickly said, "Great grandfather, did your grandson do anything wrong?"

"It has nothing to do with you. I just thought of some unhappy past events."

Seeing that Lu Ping was a little worried, he found it funny. "It's just some old things. What should I, a foundation-building cultivator, worry about? Go. The best thing I can do is for you to work hard to expand the family."

After hearing what his great-grandfather said, Lu Ping felt relieved. He tied the storage bag around his waist, said goodbye, and went down the mountain road.

Lu Xuanyuan looked at Lu Ping's departing figure, and took out a photo stone. He watched the photo stone flash with a trace of crystal light... and finally sighed, "Spiritual eyes!"

After Lu Ping returned to his room, he couldn't wait to input spiritual energy into the storage bag. The storage bag opened after receiving the spiritual energy, and Lu Ping took out the magic weapon inside.

"They are actually two mid-grade magic weapons, and this one is a defensive robe." Lu Ping was a little excited when he looked at the information about the magic weapons.
