Chapter 945: Chapter 339: Ping’an, How Did You Come Here?_2
Because the Family had a good reputation, people were willing to trust them even if their purchase prices were cheaper by a few percentages.
However, he was now disguised, which made it inappropriate to engage in purchasing activities.
“Hmm!?”
Just then, Lu Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes as if he sensed something.
He saw a tall, burly, dust-covered man looking like a wanderer of the rivers and lakes who had found a spot to sit down in the distance.
Lu Changsheng instantly sensed a familiar aura from the person.
“Ping’an?”
Lu Changsheng swept his divine sense and immediately saw through the disguise.
“Isn’t Ping’an supposed to be traveling? Why has he come to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm?”
A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes as he transmitted his voice, “Lu Ping’an, come here.”
“Ah?”
Lu Ping’an, upon hearing this, was startled and looked around in confusion.
He didn’t return home this trip, knowing that if his father knew he was aiming for the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, he would likely disagree.
So, he decided on his own to come here secretly.
Unexpectedly, he had just arrived at Ziyun Gorge when he heard his father’s voice.
He looked around but did not see his father, Lu Changsheng.
Moments later, he saw a man in his thirties, with a dignified appearance and a profound aura, wearing a dark robe, walking toward him accompanied by a scholarly young man in a black robe.
“You are… Father?”
Lu Ping’an asked, somewhat unsure.
The man in the dark robe looked nothing like his father as he usually appeared.
“Indeed.”
Lu Changsheng answered, nodding slightly. His current disguise tactic wasn’t as simple as his early years’ disguises.
Not only was he using a Fate-Defying Robe to mask and contain his aura, but he also wore a specialized disguise mask.
Unless a Nascent Soul Immortal used divine sense to investigate, it would be hard to discern his real face.
Lu Quanzhen was also disguising his appearance and aura.
“Ping’an, why are you here?”
Lu Changsheng brought his son to the side and asked.
“I heard that the Purple Shadow Secret Realm was opening, so I thought I’d come to check it out. Maybe I could find something…”
Lu Ping’an scratched his head, looking somewhat sheepish.
As if worried his father might misunderstand, he hastily explained, “Father, I’m not overestimating myself. I had some fortuitous encounters before, and I’ve reached the fifth level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, so I dared to come here.”
“Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art’s fifth level!?”
Lu Quanzhen next to him narrowed his eyes in surprise.
In his younger years, Lu Changsheng had taught him the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.
However, he didn’t excel in it and eventually abandoned this cultivation technique.
Unexpectedly, his elder brother had advanced this technique to the fifth level, which meant his physical body was comparable to a Spiritual Artifact?
“Since you are already here, would I blame you?”
Lu Changsheng said to his son, sounding a bit irritable.
“Thank you, Father.”
Lu Ping’an immediately relaxed and nodded.
It was usually fine dealing with Lu Changsheng.
But in his current disguised form, with an inherent authority that commanded respect, it genuinely made him nervous.
“Father, why are you here?”
Lu Ping’an continued, looking at Lu Quanzhen, eager to know who this was.
“I came to bring Quanzhen here.”
Lu Changsheng answered.
“Big brother.”
Lu Quanzhen called out with a smile, his demeanor gentle and scholarly.
“You’re Quanzhen?”
Lu Ping’an looked at Lu Quanzhen, surprised.
Then he said, “Father, isn’t the Purple Shadow Secret Realm quite dangerous? Quanzhen coming here…”
He did not know much about Lu Quanzhen’s situation.
Only that this younger brother’s cultivation level wouldn’t be much higher than his own.
“Quanzhen too has had some opportunities; he is now at the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement.”
“When you both enter the secret realm, you can contact each other through your identity jades and look after each other.”
Lu Changsheng instructed.
“Energy Refinement Ninth Level.”
Lu Ping’an looked surprised, not expecting his younger brother to have reached the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement.
However, considering he himself had encounters, it was quite normal for his siblings to have some fortuitous adventures.
“Rest assured, Father!’
“You have any preparations for entering the secret realm?”
Lu Changsheng asked.
“Uh… I did inquire about the Purple Shadow Secret Realm and learned some information about it.”
Lu Ping’an said somewhat awkwardly.
“Sigh.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head helplessly.
He then took them to a secluded spot and took out a stack of talismans and a couple of bottles from his storage ring to give to his son.
In the past, he would have carried a plethora of magical artifacts and heavenly and earthly treasures on him.
But now, with a family to care for, the previously acquired magical artifacts and treasures were all placed in the Treasure Pavilion at home for the family to manage.
Therefore, he only had elixir medicines and talismans, with no spare magical artifacts.
Otherwise, he would have equipped his son with a complete set of magical artifacts.
“Thank you, Father.”
Lu Ping’an’s heart warmed as he thanked his father.
“Big brother, do you need any magical artifacts? See if there’s anything you could use?”
At this moment, Lu Quanzhen took out several top-tier magical artifacts and asked.
These artifacts had been prepared by Lu Changsheng for him, complete for offense, defense, escape, and support.
“Uh, no need, no need, I have magical artifacts.”
Lu Ping’an quickly waved his hands, feeling awkward about taking his younger brother’s artifacts.
“Big brother, I have a robe, and I won’t be using this Spiritual Armor. Take it.”
Lu Quanzhen, knowing his elder brother practiced body cultivation, handed Lu Ping’an a piece of Spiritual Armor.
“Since Quanzhen is offering it so kindly, then accept it. Be extra cautious on this trip into the secret realm…”
Lu Changsheng, pleased to see his sons getting along well, said with contentment.
He then informed Lu Ping’an about some points to be wary of in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.
Although Lu Ping’an mentioned he understood the realm’s situation…
