"My thoughts are similar to yours: change weapons and then focus on training."
Lu Hao said.
"Don't worry about resources these next few months. Focus on improving yourself. That way, you can still catch up with what Qin Fengqing mentioned. Otherwise, by the time we slowly break through, they might have already exhausted all their resources."
"It's probably around mid-February now. We'll cultivate and digest for three months, and then in May we'll go down to the underground cave and tell Qin Fengqing where we'll make our move."
Lu Hao didn't go into details about the energy mine, after all, they were traveling back and forth in Hope City, what if someone overheard them and had the same idea as them?
"Okay, no problem. Let's meet again in May. Focus on your training these next few months."
Wang Jinyang said.
Qin Fengqing, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
It was already noon when they came out of the cave. Lu Hao and the other two planned to go to Lu Hao's dormitory first to finish distributing the sunflower plates, and also to distribute the remaining high-grade fifth-rank flesh and blood.
As soon as he exited the underground passage and was about to head towards the dormitory area, Lu Hao saw Lü Fengrou and Fang Ping walking towards him.
"Hello, Teacher Lü," Lu Hao quickly stepped forward to greet them. He hadn't expected to run into them here. Could it be that Lü Fengrou was taking Fang Ping down to the underground cave?
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang, who were standing nearby, also greeted them.
"You three look like you just came back from the cave?"
Lu Fengrou looked at the three of them and asked, after all, they were all wearing tattered clothes and were covered in blood.
"Yes, we just came up from the underground cave. Teacher Lü, are you taking Fang Ping down into the underground cave?"
"No, I'll show him the specific situation in the southern area and introduce him to the underground caves."
Lu Hao nodded. So that's how it is. He was wondering why Fang Ping, who was so afraid of death, would have gone down to the underground cave on his own initiative at the second rank.
"You three have really gotten addicted to going down into underground caves, huh? I remember we just went there before the New Year, didn't we?"
"There's no other way. Cultivation requires resources, and when resources run out, we have to go down into the underground caves."
Lu Hao said with a smile.
"Well, it's good that you're back safe and sound. As long as you're alive, you can always grab more resources. You guys go and rest, take a shower and calm down. After all, if you were walking down the street right now, you'd definitely be mistaken for murderers." "Okay, Teacher Lü, we'll be going now. See you later."
After Lu Hao finished speaking, he left with Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang. The two of them didn't say another word after exchanging greetings.
After all, Lü Fengrou was his mentor, and neither of them had much interaction with Lü Fengrou.
"Lu Hao, Qin Fengqing, what do you think of Fang Ping who was next to Instructor Lü just now? That kid has already broken through to the second rank, and he'll probably reach the third rank soon."
Wang Jinyang said as he walked.
"Fang Ping? If I remember correctly, Lu Hao also underwent three rounds of bone tempering, just like you, and has now reached the second rank. You'd better not let him catch up."
Qin Fengqing looked at Lu Hao with a look of utter defeat and said with a smile.
"You've got a good idea. I'm already at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, so I'm not worried. You should be the one who's worried. After all, you've already fallen behind me. He's also undergone three bone temperings, has no shortage of resources, and quickly reached the third rank. After a couple more trips to the underground caves, he can easily reach my level. As for you? Your progress is too slow, and you'll be caught up soon."
Lu Hao said.
He wasn't worried about Fang Ping catching up with him. After all, once the option to materialize his killing points appeared, his cultivation path was basically cleared. Moreover, with the space for performing magic, his control over his blood and qi would only increase.
Their combat strength was naturally far superior to Fang Ping's.
"Hmph, I'm already at the low-level fourth rank. I estimate I'll reach the high-level fourth rank within three months before the next underground cavern trip. By then, he probably won't even be at the third rank yet. What am I afraid of?"
Qin Fengqing gave a light snort and said.
"That's not necessarily true. After all, Fang Ping has undergone bone tempering three times, and with ample resources, completing the second-grade tempering in a month isn't impossible. However, his actual combat skills probably can't compare to yours, setting aside his ability to recover by consuming pills."
His practical experience is not as good as yours. After all, he has never been down into the underground cave and has never experienced a life-or-death battle, Lu Hao commented honestly.
"What's wrong, Lao Wang? You've taken a liking to this kid?"
"I do value him a bit, after all, we're both from Yangcheng, we know each other well, and I'm also considered his mentor."
So I still pay close attention to him.
You have no idea how cunning this kid is. When he was just an ordinary person, he used a sleeping potion to knock out a peak second-grade criminal martial artist.
Wang Jinyang talked about what happened when he met Fang Ping before.
"Huh? Old Wang, don't lie to me, a second-rank martial arts criminal was drugged and knocked out by an ordinary person?"
When Qin Fengqing heard what Wang Jinyang said, her first reaction was disbelief. After all, no one would believe such a thing.
"Of course it's true, what good would it do me to lie to you?"
Wang Jinyang glanced at Qin Fengqing and said.
"He's really quite cunning, look," Lu Hao showed them a piece of paper with his name on it.
The page displayed detailed information about the Yuanfang e-commerce platform, whose owner was Fang Ping.
"Wow, online resource exchange with delivery anytime, that's an interesting idea. But how can he be sure some students won't run off with the money when they see how important the exchanged resources are?"
Qin Fengqing commented from the side and pointed out the flaws in it.
"Look, this has my mentor's endorsement on it. No ordinary person would dare to run away, after all, my mentor is at least a peak sixth-rank expert."
Lu Hao pointed to a line on the paper and said.
"That still carries risks. After all, if we were to exchange tens of thousands of credits at once, let alone your advisor..."
Even if Dean Huang came, he might not be able to control them. After all, if they could absorb these credits, they would probably have enough cultivation resources for half a lifetime.
Qin Fengqing continued to nitpick.
"Indeed, that's a problem. I'll remind Fang Ping when we get back. Besides, what's the point of this kid doing this?"
I don't see what the benefit is for him? Just for that little bit of running errands?
Wang Jinyang agreed with what Qin Fengqing said.
"Take a closer look," Lu Hao analyzed. "This kid has quite a plan. Right now it's just an intermediary platform, but what if it expands into a platform specifically for martial artists to trade?"
"Huh? He has the guts? Martial arts resources are monopolized these days, and the profits involved are huge. He's just a second-rank martial artist—"
Qin Fengqing said that he did not expect Fang Ping's platform to expand so much, but if it expanded like this, it would offend too many people.
"He's a second-rank official now, but he won't always be. If he can demonstrate his strength and potential, a grandmaster might invest in him, and things might just work out."
Lu Hao said.
"That is indeed the way, but it's not so easy to gain the approval of a grandmaster."
