Incredible Sect Simulator

In the state of a consciousness body, no Demon King could detect the presence of Lu Ping, so there was no need to worry too much about safety.

In case he was exposed, he could still use **Instant Teleportation** to return to the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Running away was also ensured.

As he ventured deeper, the level of demon beasts appearing around him gradually increased, and most of them had already reached the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation and above.

Occasionally, he could see a few Demon Hunting Squad teams here and there, with the leader's cultivation reaching the peak of the Qi Cultivation Stage; they were all seasoned loose cultivators.

Additionally, Lu Ping also saw some spirit medicines and fruits, but the quantity was not much, very scarce.

Simply sending disciples to pick them wouldn't gain any Reputation Points, and this place wasn't very safe, either.

There was no need to risk sending disciples here for these rare Tier One spirit fruits and medicines.

Lu Ping had yet to find Tier Two, or even Tier Three spirit medicines, and he continued heading deeper into the Cyan Mountain Range.

After about ten days of exploration, except for the central area of the Cyan Mountain Range, Lu Ping had roughly explored most of the surrounding areas within a thousand miles in radius.

Among them, he identified some key locations where some heavenly treasures worth the sect's attention were growing.

Some rare Tier Two and Tier Three spirit medicines such as Zixu Grass, Jade Vine Flower, Ice and Fire Fruit, etc.

There were six areas like this, and picking the treasures wouldn't be easy. The weakest guardian demon beasts had reached the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.

The last area he was investigating was the one Lu Ping was most interested in and most eager to seize.

It was a small valley; spirit medicines were scant in the valley, and there was hardly any vegetation, making it seem like a barren land, yet it harbored a Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree.

The Celestial Spirit Fruits produced by such a spirit plant is one of the main materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, named along with the Jade Marrow Branch, Golden Lotus, and Purple Monkey Flower as the four main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

According to the current development of the Cyan Mountain Sect, She Qingqing's alchemy mastery was certainly not enough to refine a Tier Three elixir like the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But for the sect to develop in the long term, it must eventually produce its own Foundation Establishment Pills.

It's an unavoidable step and a crucial one.

For now, getting hold of this Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree and transplanting it into the sect would allow the sect to produce Celestial Spirit Fruits in the future.

Selling Celestial Spirit Fruits could also bring a considerable income of Spirit Stones to the sect.

Such main materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills never lacked a market; as many as you have, you can sell.

After memorizing the location of the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree and investigating the surrounding situation, Lu Ping found himself in a bit of a dilemma.

Heavenly treasures like the Celestial Spirit Fruit are naturally occupied by demon beasts.

Guarding the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree was a Purple-eyed Demon Ape, with a body size reaching two Zhangs, and it didn't look easy to deal with.

Moreover, this Purple-eyed Demon Ape had the strength of an early-stage Foundation Establishment, roughly at the First-Layer Foundation Establishment.

The Cyan Mountain Sect currently stood no chance against a Foundation Establishment Stage demon beast.

To take this place, at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator would be needed.

But does the Cyan Mountain Sect have any Foundation Establishment cultivators?

"Although we can't fight now, it doesn't mean we won't have this strength in the future, so let's leave it for now."

"Judging by the growth state of the Celestial Spirit Fruit, it will still take about eight to ten years to mature."

After hesitating for a while, Lu Ping left the small valley and started exploring deeper into the Cyan Mountain Range.

Back when he reached the Golden Core Stage, Lu Ping had ventured into the Cyan Mountain Range.

He had explored the central area in the depths and had even fought with one or two early-stage Golden Core demon beasts, slaying a Bloodthirsty Griffin of the early Golden Core Stage.

"Over a hundred years ago, I could still fight early-stage Golden Core Demon Kings and had a chance to kill them, but now, when I look at Demon Kings of this level, I can only stare helplessly."

"Speaking of strength, I probably couldn't even compete with small Qi Cultivation Level cultivators."

After over a hundred years had passed, stepping here again, Lu Ping felt a bit emotional.

Time does not spare people as it rushes on, and looking back, a hundred years have passed.

In the journey of cultivation, time always passes like a fleeting cloud, and in a blink, it's hundreds or thousands of years.

Cultivators strive to reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao, constantly seeking the path of longevity, advancing relentlessly as they tread on piles of white bones to compete for the azure sky.

Ordinary people, in pursuit of the supreme position of a cultivator, similarly scramble and vie, desperate to join the Immortal Sect, and break their heads just for that supreme immortal technique, stepping onto the rugged immortal path, severing worldly ties.

"Cultivation is hard, and attaining longevity… even harder!"

...

After reflecting for a while, Lu Ping began to carefully explore the central area of the Cyan Mountain Range.

There was no shortage of heavenly and earthly treasures here.

There were also miraculous cave abodes.

Here, there were even some scattered storage bags lying on the ground, revealing several Tier Three and Four spiritual artifacts, Tier Four elixirs whose properties had been lost, broken Tier Three spirit talismans, etc.

Judging solely from the condition of the storage bags, their owners definitely had a distinguished background, at least at the Crystallization level.

But even such Crystallization Stage cultivators perished here, turning into piles of white bones, erased from the world, with no one left to remember.

The danger level here was not any less than attacking a Nascent Soul Sect.

Just by taking the first steps, Lu Ping came face to face with three Golden Core Demon Kings.

These three Golden Core Demon Kings were respectively a Tiger King, a Snake King, and a Turtle King.

The Tiger King was the Red-eyed White Tiger.

The Snake King was the Green-Scaled Rattlesnake. The full series is hosted on My Virtual Library Empire, known as MV7LEMPYR.

The Turtle King was the Martial Arts Star Shocking Turtle.

Among them, the Green-Scaled Rattlesnake was a population, numbering over a thousand, with even Crystallization-level demon snakes among them.

This wasn't even the most troublesome.

The most troublesome was the ruler of these three Golden Core Demon Kings, a Purple Jade Flood Dragon at the early Nascent Soul stage.

This Purple Jade Flood Dragon was the real overlord here. When Lu Ping discovered it, he was sitting here investigating for a day to find out.

Usually, this flood dragon would not show itself, always hidden in the Deep Water Lake, either slumbering or cultivating.

When Lu Ping saw it, this flood dragon had already transformed into a handsome and elegant man in a purple robe.

Just looking at that handsome face could make women feel intimidated and marvel at why a man could be so good-looking.

Good-looking, indeed, but appearances can be deceiving; this guy was a Nascent Soul Level Demon Emperor!

When Lu Ping saw the opponent, he subconsciously wanted to retreat three paces back.

Even at his peak, with his Golden Core Peak strength, facing off against this Demon Emperor wouldn't offer much hope of victory.

Moreover, the Flood Dragon species inherently possesses some powerful innate divine techniques, enough to run rampant among those of the same level.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping quickly composed himself and, with a quick sarcastic smile at himself, he silently cursed his own foolishness.

He was already dead, with only his consciousness body left. Running was pointless, as it would be as if he hadn't run at all.

With that thought, Lu Ping quickly calmed down again and began to listen to a conversation nearby.
