First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

Thinking about this, Lu Ding opened the Golden Finger’s Pulverize interface and tossed all the unused spells into it, pulverizing them into Colorless Large Crystals.

A hundred and twenty-nine crystals directly landed in his account, plus the original three hundred and forty-two he had left, making a total fortune of four hundred and seventy-one.

Then he opened Refine.

Dragging in the [Dan-Seizing Qi-Controlling Hand].

Directly activating it!!!

[Do you wish to spend two Colorless Large Crystals to refine this divine ability?]

”Yes!”

As a rumbling sound echoed.

The original [Dan-Seizing Qi-Controlling Hand] gradually faded away after being backed up, and brand-new characters slowly emerged.[Divine Ability: Cloud-Parting Crane-Guiding Hand]

[Cloud-Parting Crane-Guiding Hand: Part the clouds, guide the cranes, sweep away the mist to see the sun. Can fuse with Wind-Bending Grass Technique to form an advanced killing move.]

Lu Ding stared at the divine ability description.

He couldn’t help but think: ”It can even do this?”

This was literally stepping on his left foot with his right foot to climb higher.

Not only had he refined the [Dan-Seizing Qi-Controlling Hand], which couldn’t fuse with any other spells or divine abilities, into the [Cloud-Parting Crane-Guiding Hand], which could fuse with other spells and divine abilities.

He also had the [Wind-Bending Grass Technique], it was just that he had pulverized it into Colorless Large Crystals.

But that didn’t matter, the Golden Finger had backups.

If a pulverized spell was needed later.

It could be directly exchanged back for double the cost in Colorless Large Crystals.

Lu Ding opened the pulverization records, found the [Wind-Bending Grass Technique] he had obtained from containing the Straw-Headed Demon back in Niuxin Village, and spent eighteen Colorless Large Crystals to exchange it back.

He saw the newly exchanged [Wind-Bending Grass Technique] appear on the Golden Finger.

[Wind-Bending Grass Technique, in position!]

[Cloud-Parting Crane-Guiding Hand, in position!]

The characters merged with each other, and new text gradually emerged.

[Divine Ability: Star-Plucking Moon-Seizing Hand · Marvelous Dao Transformation Palm]

[Star-Plucking Moon-Seizing Hand · Marvelous Dao Transformation Palm: A divine killing move. Pluck stars and seize the moon, take objects from across the void. Marvelous Dao transforms into the palm, a killing blow...]

In other words, forcibly yank the enemy over with hard control, then deliver a single palm strike that melts the enemy apart like cream. And it was a chain combo!!

Lu Ding knew it.

His luck couldn’t stay bad forever.

After all, he had Heaven-Man Unity on his side.

The previous [Dance of Destruction] was purely an accident, like a Greymon evolving into a SkullGreymon. It wasn’t unusable, it wasn’t underwhelming, it was just a bit off-target.

Now these two Colorless Large Crystals had refined out the [Cloud-Parting Crane-Guiding Hand], which linked and synthesized with the previous [Wind-Bending Grass Technique] into the [Star-Plucking Moon-Seizing Hand · Marvelous Dao Transformation Palm]. This was fucking pulling a red!!

Through his long experience using the Golden Finger.

Lu Ding had concluded.

Any ability with a short name and short description was generally awesome. Abilities with especially long names and especially long descriptions were also awesome.

The ones stuck in the middle, neither here nor there, were just average.

After a brief moment of comprehension, Lu Ding knew that this [Star-Plucking Moon-Seizing Hand · Marvelous Dao Transformation Palm] was exaggeratedly overpowered.

The name ”pluck stars and seize the moon” wasn’t a metaphorical description of power, it was a factual statement. The current Lu Ding could completely raise his hand and pluck a star!

Don’t ask about seizing the moon. Seizing the moon was a no-go, Lu Ding’s cultivation wasn’t high enough, it was too far away.

The power and the effect this time, Lu Ding was very satisfied with.

He forcibly restrained himself. Even though he still had a fortune of four hundred and fifty-one in his bag, he didn’t refine anymore.

This one!

This one was good!!!

He flashed away and returned to the Shen Family.

At this moment, the trembling Shen Family servants were being directed by Wu Yong to clean up the mess.

Lu Ding appeared with a thunderous presence.

Everyone hurriedly knelt and kowtowed along with Wu Yong.

Lu Ding walked past them, going straight to the main hall, and looked at the Shen Family Matriarch who was tied up hand and foot in the hall.

He asked: ”Why wasn’t she locked up somewhere else?”

Wu Yong replied: ”Reporting to the Immortal Master, tying her here allows for constant surveillance. If she were locked in the dungeon, we wouldn’t even know if she escaped. Besides, tying her here makes it convenient for the Immortal Lord to see her at a glance when he returns.”

Smart, but without too many of his own ideas, faithfully executing Lu Ding’s orders.

Acceptable.

Not bad.

Lu Ding liked this kind of person, someone who wouldn’t gild the lily.

He dragged a stool over and sat down, ignoring the tied-up Shen Family Matriarch whimpering ”wooo wooo” beside him. Lu Ding spoke: ”Tell me about your master.”

Wu Yong said: ”My master, originally named Shen Lingfeng, goes by the title Great Creation Immortal Lord. He is at the eighth rank of God Ascension. He is a righteous and kind person, with many virtuous deeds widely praised.”

These were all things that could be found out from outside. As for what couldn’t be found out, and other more detailed matters, Wu Yong didn’t say much.

Lu Ding looked at him: ”What about the rest?”

Wu Yong lowered his head and said nothing.

He was a servant. It was true that he didn’t like the Matriarch, but the Great Creation Immortal Lord, Shen Lingfeng, had treated him and his father, Butler Wu, quite well.

Some intelligence and details could be said by anyone.

Except for him, Wu Yong.

These were matters of principle.

Even knowing that if he didn’t speak, the Immortal Master before him might get angry.

Wu Yong still chose to stand there stubbornly, remaining silent. When faced with a difficult question, he simply didn’t answer.

He might be a servant, but he was a loyal servant, and he had his own dignity.

Lu Ding understood.

Admirable.

Not bad.

At least he was loyal.

Lu Ding himself wasn’t all that interested in learning about the Great Creation Immortal Lord, Shen Lingfeng.

He changed the topic: ”You said he has many virtuous deeds widely praised. Something like this happened in his family, and he did nothing?”

Wu Yong finally answered: ”Reporting to the Immortal Master, it’s not that my master didn’t want to manage it, it’s that he couldn’t. The Matriarch has the Jin Family and Jin Tianran backing her up.”

”Moreover, she acted first while the Immortal Lord was away.”

”When the Immortal Lord returned and learned of the matter, Miss Jiannan’s heart had already been dug out, and Miss Jiannan’s mother had already been severely beaten.”

”The Immortal Lord was furious, but he didn’t have the power to decide everything. On top of that, several Family Elders used the collective interests of the Shen Family as leverage to persuade him.”

”They said, ’You’ve already sacrificed one daughter, do you want to sacrifice another?’”

”If the Shen Family had the opportunity to rise to the next level by virtue of possessing the genius with the Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart, it would be a waste to let it slip away. The Family Elders wouldn’t allow it.”

”Furthermore, if he moved against the Matriarch and Miss Yingxia, that would mean declaring war on the Jin Family. At that point... it would be difficult to control.”

”The Immortal Lord is first the Patriarch of the Shen Family, and only then Miss Jiannan’s father. So...”

This was how family power structures worked.

In fact, all powers basically faced these kinds of problems.

Lu Ding understood it clearly. It was like when he had killed members of those families before, those families didn’t dare act recklessly either, because Lu Ding had the Great Han at his back. Even though they were the elders and fathers of the deceased, they were also members of those families.

If you enjoy the benefits of the family, you have to consider the family’s interests.

You gain some, you lose some.

Lu Ding could understand that. But this wasn’t his business, he had to see what attitude this Great Creation Immortal Lord would take first.

”How much longer until your master returns?”

Wu Yong glanced secretly at Lu Ding, praying in his heart that things wouldn’t develop in the worst possible direction.

”Reporting to the Immortal Master, my master went to Tonghe Town. The messenger should take some time to reach him. As for his return, he should arrive by tonight.”
