Martial Uncle... Do You No Longer Want to Look After Qinghe?
[Twenty-two years old, with four years of work experience.]
[Trait being generated...]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: Sixty-Second Voice Message (Level D) -- You received six sixty-second voice messages from your boss. You're devastated...]
Upon seeing this Trait, Lu Ping felt completely distraught.
The suffocating feeling of being a corporate slave washed over him; he felt as if the vengeful spirits of Blue Star were chasing him across two worlds.
System, I was wrong! Please stop your Divine Ability and stop chasing me!
At this moment, Lu Ping deeply regretted replacing the "Flattery."
If that Trait were still there, he would have written an 800-word eulogy to the system today, sincerely praying that it wouldn't come up with this kind of hellish thing that hits you right in the head again next time.
Lu Ping chose not to change.
[You choose not to change.]
[That Qinghe naturally broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.]
[Counting the days, it's actually the same time it took for her to break through to the next realm when you deliberately suppressed her in your previous life!]
Lu Ping, watching from outside the screen, nodded in satisfaction.
See, this is the advantage of holistic education!
There's absolutely no need to force them to break through their cultivation levels. As long as you assign enough homework, how can those brats have the energy for early romance... pshaw, how can they have the energy for reckless breakthroughs?
Not only did they build a solid foundation, but they also gained a valuable side skill for free—a win-win situation.
[On the day Qinghe Foundation Establishment, you not only bestowed upon her the pair of top-grade Law Artifacts, the Azure Nether Rings, as usual, but also gave her an extra Jade Slip.]
[The Jade Slip was branded with the "Spirit Refining Technique".]
"Now that the Foundation Establishment, Divine Sense becomes of paramount importance."
"Take this 'Spirit Refining Technique' and study it diligently to solidify the foundation of your spirit and soul."
"In the future, whether it's alchemy, Artifact Refining crafting, puppet manipulation, or dealing with unexpected events, I'll have more confidence."
[Qinghe accepted the Jade Slip with both hands, looked at your calm face, suppressed the joy that had just risen in her eyes, and obediently performed the ritual.]
"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for bestowing upon me the Dharma."
"My martial uncle is wonderful in every way, and these Azure Nether Rings are exactly what I wanted. It's just that he makes me do homework every day, sigh..." Qinghe thought resentfully to herself.
[Your life has once again entered a monotonous yet fulfilling AFK mode.]
[As for the Bloodline Mark of the Chunwu in Falling Crow Valley, it was naturally handled secretly by Wang Tongyou, Zhao Kangquan, and others.]
[In this life, you didn't kill Zhao Kangquan, letting him and Wang Tongyou continue their dog-eat-dog struggle for favor and official duties; their efficiency was actually higher than in the previous life.]
[You only need to go to Falling Crow Valley every one or two years, activate the Bloodline Reversal Grand Formation to transform those Rogue Cultivators into Demon Cultivators, and then send Crow-Crow to secretly keep an eye on them.]
[The sect is managed, the villains are made, the spirit medicine ripen automatically, and the Spirit Stones increase in value automatically.]
[Now that you have some free time, you finally have the opportunity to delve into a major research topic.]
[You summoned the Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace and held it in your palm.]
[In the last simulation, you used the Origin Fragments of the Palm-Center Buddha Kingdom, combined with the Seventy-Two Earthly Sha Restrictions of the Little Toad, to deduce and merge a Heavenly Gang Fusion Restriction, helping the Little Toad leap to become a Supreme Law Treasure, and even cultivate the embryonic form of Grotto-Heaven.]
[By sheer fortuitous opportunity, the Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace gave birth to Artifact Spirit.]
[Looking at the Heavenly Gang Restriction within the Little Toad's body, you suddenly felt something.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Deriving the Cultivation Method is time-consuming and energy-draining; save your energy and get some more sleep.]
[B: By delving deeper into the path of this Heavenly Gang Restriction, you can create a supreme Artifact Refining method unique to you!]
[C: You have a brilliant idea and decide to develop the "Law Treasure Pinduoduo Cut-and-Upgrade System." Once you have 3,200 fellow cultivators who infuse Spiritual Power into Law Treasure and cut it once, a low-grade magic Law Artifact can instantly mutate into a supreme innate treasure. After cutting it to 99.99%, you only need to recruit one more Body Integration Soul Saint user to withdraw your winnings!]
The Star River Myriad Blades and the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak that Lu Ping possesses are now Supreme Law Treasures.
Once you reach the Spirit Transformation Stage, Supreme Law Treasures are sufficient, but what about going further?
If he could truly deduce this method of superimposed Heavenly Gang Restriction, wouldn't it mean that his old treasures all had the potential to be upgraded to spiritual treasures?
However, with a major calamity imminent, Little A's words were actually those of a mature and prudent person.
Besides, if you don't have enough Law Treasures, you can just rob them...
Lu Ping's eyes darkened slightly, and he chose B.
[You chose B.]
[Your first scheme upon joining the Profound Beast Taming Sect was to Bloodline Mark of the Chunwu, and this matter is now on track.]
[As for Qinghe, burdened by her sect and studies, she has become increasingly composed, and her cultivation progress is now within your calculations.]
[The hidden plot has been uncovered, and the main move has been made.]
[You began dedicating a significant amount of time to seclusion on Returning to Truth Peak, focusing all your efforts on refining that Artifact Refining method.]
[Reverse Engineering, in effect.]
[The Artisan Spirit is now in effect.]
[Multiskilling, effective.]
[Workaholic, effective.]
[...]
[Within your Sea of Consciousness, countless Array Patterns Restrictions are rapidly circulating, colliding, dismantling, and recombining.]
You've poured almost all your energy into the simulation.
[Throughout the entire Profound Beast Taming Sect, your true form is almost nowhere to be seen.]
[During this period, the sect organized a demon-hunting operation across the Myriad Demon Domain as usual. Too lazy to interrupt the deductions, you had Crow-Crow transform into your likeness and accompany you on the boat.]
With "you" in charge, the Demon-Catching Squad had a smooth journey and returned with a full haul.
[The Crow-Crow is Transformation Great Demon, and also an avatar of your Divine Sense; ordinary cultivators naturally cannot see through it.]
[Only with Qinghe, you never missed your monthly exams or homework.]
[However, although this girl's cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment, she is exceptionally perceptive.]
[On one occasion, you happened to be at a crucial juncture in the deduction of the fusion of Restrictions, and you were unable to spare the time.]
[So, I resorted to my old trick again, letting the Crow-Crow transform into your likeness to take the test for you.]
[You, expressionless, flipped through the Armor-Piercing Talisman and Mechanism Puppet that Qinghe had handed you.]
[Following your usual practice, Crow-Crow nodded in a perfunctory manner, raising her hand to wave her away.]
[Ke Qinghe stood motionless before the desk, her hands hanging limply at her sides, her fingers clenching the hem of her clothes.]
She lowered her head, staring at the blue brick floor, and remained silent for a long time before speaking softly.
"Uncle-Master... is it that you no longer want to take care of Qinghe?"
[The voice was very soft, yet trembled slightly with suppressed emotion.]
[A slight tremor ran through you in the Quiet Chamber, followed by a helpless sigh.]
[The same thing happened in the last simulation.]
[You never revealed your true form as "Lu Ping" to Qinghe. However, the first time Qinghe saw your true appearance, she immediately recognized you as the "Uncle-Master" who had been with her for nearly ten years.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Just a few perfunctory words to appease them.]
[B: The real person shows up in person, and casually adds extra homework, using a massive amount of assignments to cure her overthinking!]
[C: You pull out a copy of the "Regulations on the Construction and Management of Teachers' Ethics and Conduct in the Cultivation World" and slam it on the table. Pointing to the red-line clause "Teacher-student relationships are strictly prohibited," you say with a pained expression, "Qinghe! Don't refine pills tonight. Join your uncle in studying by lamplight. Copy these regulations, along with your 30,000-word reflection, eight hundred times! Tomorrow, take a megaphone and broadcast it on all the peaks, proclaiming our pure and flawless nine-year compulsory cultivation teacher-student relationship!"]
