Chapter 235: Deceiving An Apotheosis Stage Cultivator 2

Therefore, even though there were up to 100 methods to refine magic items and magic instruments in the Breakdown of 100 Armaments, Lu Yuan could truly refine less than 10% of them.

This was also why Jing Ming was not worried that Lu Yuan would leak these weapon refinement techniques.

Even if he leaked this information, it would be very difficult for others to refine these magic items.

Not to mention that in the world of celestial cultivation, many magic items needed time to settle.

A magic item with an artifact spirit and a magic item without one were worlds apart in terms of power.

However, Lu Yuan was still very satisfied with the Breakdown of 100 Armaments.

Other people might not learn a particular divine ability just to refine a particular magic item as it was not worth it.

However, Lu Yuan was different. He had a skill interface and clones.

He could learn any divine ability or cultivation technique in a fraction of the time.

Moreover, he might be able to use these skills in other ways.

Therefore, learning more divine abilities was actually a good thing for Lu Yuan.

After confirming that there were no problems with the cultivation technique and the divine ability given by Jing Ming, Lu Yuan put them away.

Through the window, he looked at the starry sky outside.

He made arrangements for his upcoming plan.

The plans he had set up in the city should be working.

The Twelve Earthly Branches that had entered the Lower Realm to fish in troubled waters were about to be forced to the surface by him.

Originally, Lu Yuan was worried that if he forced these people out, no one would be able to deal with them.

However, after meeting Jing Ming, Lu Yuan could only say that this group of people could not have had worse timing.

They were against an Apotheosis Stage cultivator, and a sword cultivator at that.

It would be a child’s play for Jing Ming to deal with a group of cultivators who were only at the Core Formation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage.

It was a pity that Lu Yuan did not dare to reveal too much in front of Jing Ming.

Otherwise, with so many big catches, he might be able to pick up the leftovers.

“What a waste,” Lu Yuan sighed internally.

At the Immortal Ascension Assembly in the Sacred Realm.

Just as Lu Yuan had guessed, Jing Ming had given him the Purple Qi Mystical Heaven Record to test him further.

He wanted to test Lu Yuan’s talent and see if he was as simple as he appeared on the surface.

After all, talent and cultivation could be faked.

However, it was difficult to fake one’s cultivation speed.

Who would deliberately slow down their cultivation speed when alone?

As for whether Lu Yuan had the ability to discover Jing Ming’s hidden self, Jing Ming felt that Lu Yuan would not have such a powerful divine soul.

To sense his existence, one had to at least have a Real Realm divine soul or they would have to have mastered some special divine soul methods.

This was even under the condition that Jing Ming wasn’t serious.

Once Jing Ming became serious, even a Real Realm divine soul might not be able to sense him.

Jing Ming would never have imagined that not only did Lu Yuan master many special divine soul techniques, but he also pretended not to see the former after discovering him. Moreover, his acting skills were also very outstanding.

Of course, Lu Yuan was able to discover Jing Ming mainly because he took advantage of the latter’s underestimation of him.

An Apotheosis Stage cultivator would not treat a Core Formation Stage cultivator?

Soon, Jing Ming forgot about probing Lu Yuan’s luck.

Compared to Lu Yuan, he was most concerned about his precious descendant, Xu Wan’er and the thief who had stolen the luck.

He had locked onto a potential suspect, Zhuang Yangbing.

However, the other party hadn’t done anything too outrageous for the time being, so he was not in a rush to act. He wanted to avoid alerting the enemy.

Therefore, Jing Ming went to Xu Wan’er’s room as soon as he returned to the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

At this moment, Xu Wan’er was working hard on her cultivation.

Due to her relationship with Jing Ming, Xu Wan’er no longer needed to care about the assessment results of the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

Currently, she was a person with connections.

Setting aside the fact that her talent was outstanding, even if her talent was ordinary, Jing Ming had means to bring her to the Spirit Sword Sect.

Xu Wan’er, who had been cultivating, immediately opened her eyes when she sensed Jing Ming’s arrival.

Xu Wan’er was still not used to facing her patriarch, who looked like her father but was actually more than 1000 years old.

However, out of politeness, she greeted him respectfully, “Greetings, Patriarch Jing Ming.”

Jing Ming nodded and asked out of concern, “Wan’er, have you had any problems with your cultivation recently?”

Xu Wan’er was stunned. She wanted to say that her recent cultivation had actually been proceeding very smoothly.

However, she suddenly thought of what Lu Yuan had said to her.

Lu Yuan once said that any relationship in this world needed to be managed.

Indeed, one could accept the kindness of others without doing anything. However, if one did not give an equivalent exchange, then this would actually wear away the other party’s good intentions.

There was a limit to a person’s kindness.

No one would be nice to a person for no reason. Even between relatives, if they did not talk for a long time, the relationship would gradually fade.

Therefore, when one met someone who was worthy of their friendship, one should remember not to overdraw the other party’s kindness.

She had to learn how to repay the other party.

Xu Wan’er still remembered the last words Lu Yuan said to her.

He said, “Celestial cultivation isn’t just about fighting and killing. There’s also the way of the world. What I’m telling you now might not help you improve your cultivation, but it will definitely help you make more friends and fewer enemies.”

Thinking of this, Xu Wan’er stood up and said directly, “I haven’t encountered too many bottlenecks in my cultivation recently. Thank you for your concern, patriarch.”

Although Jing Ming didn’t say anything, he was still a little disappointed.

He originally wanted to use the excuse of helping her cultivate to get close to his only descendant.

He didn’t understand what this feeling was, but he had seen it from the elders of many sects who treated their children.

Jing Ming felt that he had slipped into the role of Wan’er’s father.

Although he wanted to find other topics to talk to her, as a sword cultivator, he was different from those cultivators who spent most of their time in the secular world; he was not very good at talking.

Therefore, he could only say, “Alright, then get some rest…”

After saying that, Jing Ming turned around and left expressionlessly.

To his surprise, Xu Wan’er spoke up just then.

“Patriarch, although 1 don’t have any questions about cultivation, 1 actually want to know what happened between you and my grandmother. Can you tell me more?”

Hearing this, Jing Ming stopped in his tracks.

His originally dejected mood was instantly lifted up.

He turned around and a rare smile appeared on his face.

“This will take quite some time.”

Xu Wan’er also smiled and said, “It’s fine. Please take a seat, Patriarch.”

After Jing Ming sat down, he began to talk about his relationship with Xu Wan’er’s grandmother.

His gentle expression and tone showed how precious these memories were to him.

Moreover, the way he looked at Wan’er softened even further.

It was obvious that he valued Xu Wan’er more and more now.

When Xu Wan’er saw this, she realized that she had successfully applied some of the deceptive tricks that Lu Yuan had taught her.

Such was the art of interacting with people.

When she had the absolute initiative, she could actually control the situation as she pleased.

First, she pretended to turn down his kindness. Then, she took the initiative to bring up a topic.

This way, the emotions produced by the difference in the other party’s emotional states would become stronger.

These were all little tricks taught to her by Lu Yuan.

Since ancient times, true feelings could not win the hearts of people. Only tricks worked.

Jing Ming never imagined that he was being deceived by Xu Wan’er.

Moreover, he would never have thought that Xu Wan’er wanted to maintain a good relationship with him not just because of their bloodline, but rather because Xu Wan’er felt that if she could manage her relationship with Jing Ming well and keep him around, she would have more ways to help Lu Yuan.

Unfortunately, Jing Ming’s place in Xu Wan’er’s heart was miserably lower than that of Lu Yuan, and by a large margin.

Not only was this Apotheosis Stage cultivator deceived by his own great-granddaughter, he was also treated as a potential aid for her lover in the future.

If Jing Ming knew about this, he might have returned to Niu Family Village and executed Lu Yuan on the spot.

The only thing he would feel for Lu Yuan was rage!
