In the Snowfield Plateau, this underground Lingxi source is now considered insignificant.
The base camp at Cyan Lotus Mountain hasn’t even been properly constructed yet.
Best to hurry back and focus on building up the sect, enhancing the disciples’ strength.
Calculating the return ti, it takes at least a month, which is a bit ti-consuming.
Lu Ping hasn’t forgotten the way back, so there’s no issue of getting lost.
Being stingy with reputation points at this ti isn’t wise.
Lu Ping spent 5 reputation points to redeem an [Instant Transmission], selecting the target as Distant Mountain.
In just the blink of an eye, Lu Ping’s consciousness underwent a fluctuation.
The scene of snowflakes falling before his eyes changed, and in the next mont, he appeared at the peak of Cyan Lotus Mountain, next to Lu Yuanshan.
Lu Yuanshan was ditating and cultivating, and wasn’t particularly busy these days.
Lu Ping didn’t disturb him, floating out of the palace and habitually returning to the back mountain cave mansion to rest for a while before bringing up the system mall.
[Reputation: 745].
After checking the reputation points, redeeming the [Three-Star Cyan Plum Tree] required 600 reputation points.
Sufficient, let’s do it now.
After deducting 600 reputation points and redeeming the [Three-Star Cyan Plum Tree], Lu Ping quickly established a communication with She Qingqing.
"Qingqing, co to my cave mansion once."
Upon hearing the summons, She Qingqing inford Li Weixiao, put down her pest control work temporarily, and went alone to the back mountain cave mansion.
"Greetings, Patriarch."
She respectfully perford a greeting ritual.
It’s not the first ti Lu Ping has summoned her, so she seed natural and didn’t feel nervous at all.
"I called you this ti for two things."
Lu Ping opened the system warehouse and received the reward, [Two-Star Alchemist Upgrade], from clearing the Peach Blossom Demon in Peach County, choosing She Qingqing as the recipient.
"The first thing, as per usual, is to upgrade you, sa as last ti, stay calm."
"The upgrade effect is the sa as before."
With a brief explanation, Lu Ping activated the effect.
Quickly, She Qingqing felt an unusual sensation in her mind, with a flood of alchemy knowledge pouring in, quite marvelous.
Her own alchemy mastery was once again enhanced.
From Tier Two Lower Grade, she was elevated to Tier Two Middle Grade in one leap.
Even though She Qingqing told herself to stay calm, to be composed, she still couldn’t help showing a look of astonishnt, feeling incredulous.
Is Patriarch’s thod a knowledge infusion?
Truly amazing.
Ignoring She Qingqing’s expression, Lu Ping completed the upgrade for her, then manifested the Cyan Plum Tree seedlings.
"The second thing, here are three Tier Two Spirit Woods, Cyan Plum Trees, take them to the dicinal garden and cultivate them well, with care."
"In about a year, they will blossom and bear fruit, with a very short maturity period."
"The Cyan Plum Spirit Fruits they produce will greatly benefit Foundation Establishnt Cultivators and will beco one of the sect’s most precious resources in the future."
It’s not the first ti She Qingqing received spirit dicine for cultivation from Lu Ping, so she didn’t ask much. Understanding what needed to be planted, she carefully put the three Cyan Plum Tree seedlings into her storage bag.
The three seedlings, if not planted, can stay fresh for a day or two.
"Moreover, concerning alchemy, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, I’ll clear them up for you."
"Well... there are indeed so, please enlighten , Patriarch."
With questions at hand, She Qingqing didn’t hold back and imdiately asked for guidance.
Most were alchemy-related doubts, which Lu Ping understood and explained them one by one to She Qingqing.
Until dusk, the two only then realized the ti had passed and ended the conversation.
She Qingqing didn’t have anything else to ask, having solved many recent alchemy doubts.
As She Qingqing was about to take her leave, Lu Ping brought up the matter of the Jade Bee Pill.
"The Jade Bee Pill is a Tier Two Middle-Grade Elixir. You’re now a Tier Two Middle-Grade Alchemist, so when you have ti, try refining the Jade Bee Pill. The sect has a certain demand for this elixir."
"Co back and ask if you don’t understand."
She Qingqing obediently nodded, still digesting the alchemy knowledge in her mind.
"Go on."
After She Qingqing left.
A mont later, Lu Ping summoned Lu Yuanshan over.
With matters on She Qingqing’s end settled, Lu Ping also needed to ensure the cultivation progress of his eldest son.
"Are the sect’s affairs busy recently?"
Upon seeing Lu Yuanshan, Lu Ping didn’t beat around the bush.
"Not much."
"Since there aren’t many affairs, go into secluded cultivation in the cultivation cave mansion to achieve a breakthrough to the Second-Layer Foundation Establishnt as soon as possible."
Lu Ping instructed, leaving no room for delay.
With sect affairs not being busy, then focus on cultivation!
"Uh..." Lu Yuanshan was slightly taken aback, as it was the first ti his father had proactively asked him to go into seclusion, a bit unusual.
Nonetheless, he slightly nodded, not refusing.
He did indeed have plans for secluded cultivation recently.
In terms of sect affairs, there weren’t many, mostly trivial matters.
The managent of various resources was carefully overseen by She Qingqing, Li Ziqi, Lu Xuelian, and others, generally avoiding mishaps.
Outside the sect, with the Sect Establishnt Order’s protection, there’s no worry of external invasions.
As long as the disciples remain within the sect and practice diligently, all will be well.
"Alright, then I’ll be off to secluded cultivation."
"For the sect’s affairs, I’ll leave them to my younger sister to manage. She’s more ticulous than I am in handling sect affairs, not inferior to at all."
"Fine."
Lu Ping nodded.
"Make proper arrangents before your seclusion. If Zhiwei encounters any indecisive situations regarding sect affairs, let her co to for advice. I’ll be staying in the cave mansion most of the ti."
That afternoon, Lu Yuanshan entered the cultivation cave mansion.
The day of erging from seclusion was undecided; he could co out whenever he wanted.
If necessary midway, Lu Ping would awaken Lu Yuanshan.
A month after Lu Yuanshan went into seclusion, a dialog box flashed before Lu Ping’s eyes.
[Xuu Yi, who was out experiencing in the Qingli Sea, cleared out the local pirates at Chengfeng Ferry, securing the area against pirate threats, spreading the reputation of Cyan Mountain Sect at Chengfeng Ferry]
[Cyan Mountain Sect’s reputation increased, reputation points 100]
...
Xuu Yi...
Noticing the notification, Lu Ping’s eyes narrowed.
It slipped his mind; this disciple was still out experiencing.
Last ti, he captured the notorious flower thief, Ying Biehe, in Jiyang City, boosting the reputation and bringing 40 reputation points to Cyan Mountain Sect.
This ti, once again, he punished evil at Chengfeng Ferry and cleared out the local pirates.
Lu Ping appreciated this chivalrous act.
The system’s [Experience] function was indeed effective and quite practical.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ping decided to trigger the [Experience] function again, planning to send one or two more disciples down the mountain for experience, hoping to gain more benefits for the sect.
Reputation points, for instance, which were a reward Lu Ping greatly needed.
Regular exploration of external affairs, sending disciples to execute missions, is acceptable once or twice. Disciples would still act on orders.
If too frequent, they might harbor dissatisfaction.
Balance work and rest.
Lu Ping examined the disciples’ strengths and personalities among them, choosing the candidates for this descent for experience.
