Incredible Sect Simulator

In the impressions of Song Minghui, Zhang Nianchuan, Lin Han, and Chu Qin.

Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng, these two elders, or perhaps Sect Leader Lu Yuanshan, these three people, usually seem to stay within the sect most of the time, almost reclusive.

Yet once they leave the mountain, they can pinpoint the growth points of spirit medicine in the Cyan Mountain Range, as if they had scouted it before.

Except for carrying out tasks occasionally or heading to Qinghe Market, these two elders aren't often seen descending the mountain.

Unaware that Ancestor Lu Ping was backstage, manipulating things and acting as a scout, it was understandable that these thoughts would cross the minds of Song Minghui and the others.

As the guide, Lu Ping also wasn't idly standing by—he was actually quite busy.

Guiding was one aspect.

Secondly, he was constantly scouting the path, investigating whether tricky demon beasts were lurking about, threatening the safety of Lu Zhiwei and her party.

Demon beasts of the Seventh and Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, when encountered, can be fought and slain with combined effort.

But encountering a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, or even a Foundation Establishment level demon beast, becomes quite troublesome and difficult to handle.

In the Cyan Mountain Range, Foundation Establishment level demon beasts are not scarce, and Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation ones are numerous and not uncommon.

The remaining three spirit herb and fruit locations are not on the outskirts of the Cyan Mountain Range.

After all, the outskirts are relatively safe areas, visited countless times by loose cultivators and demon hunting squads, leaving little of value for the Cyan Mountain Sect to bother with. This is pаrt оf а sеriеs frоm Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М|V|L1ЕМРYR).

As the group gradually ventured deeper into the mountain range, leaving the outskirts, the demon beasts here increased in level, ranging from the Seventh to Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

There were also one or two at the Foundation Establishment level.

"Zhiwei, four li ahead, a Foundation Establishment stage Ghost-calling Eagle is resting on a giant tree. We'll take a detour and move eastward around it."

Lu Ping's voice slowly sounded, his tone very solemn.

"During the detour, maintain a distance of more than three li from it, absolutely no less, and I'll remind you from time to time."

Lu Zhiwei absolutely trusted Lu Ping's words and knew that her party's strength was indeed shallow, definitely no match for a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast.

Encountering a powerful demon beast, they must take a detour.

"Follow me."

She called to Song Minghui and others, leading them eastward cautiously.

In this way, to avoid that Ghost-calling Eagle, the group twisted and turned in the forest, detouring for more than half an hour.

"Twenty-six li to the east, a pack of Howling Moon Wolves is rushing towards you; among them, three have reached Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation. Don't hesitate, retreat south immediately."

Receiving the order, Lu Zhiwei and company dared not delay, quickly retreating southward at full speed, avoiding the wolves' detection range.

From afar, indeed, they also heard the wolves howling to the sky, startling hundreds of birds in the forest.

Subsequently, Lu Ping also made some other discoveries and started letting She Qingqing gather herbs.

"Under a ginkgo tree ahead, there are twelve Tier One Top-Grade spirit medicines, Red Umbrella Mushrooms. Let She Qingqing pick them."

"To your right, there's a Spirit Jujube Tree Seedling as well, take it back to the sect."

"The one about three inches tall?"

Lu Zhiwei asked.

"Yes."

Thus, acting as the scout, while leading the way, Lu Ping continuously scouted, investigating the surroundings, avoiding all dangers, and picking a small amount of spirit medicine.

Under Lu Ping's guidance, the group occasionally hid in place, concealing their human presence, witnessing small groups of demon beasts migrating past, avoiding many dangers.

They also occasionally altered their route.

During this time, Lu Zhiwei's acts of leading detours and hiding made Song Minghui and the four disciples initially puzzled, feeling perhaps it was overly cautious or that they were lost in the forest.

Initially hesitant to ask, they just obediently followed.

But as time went on, witnessing the great effects of these actions, avoiding demon beast groups and powerful demon beasts' detection ranges, Song Minghui and the others finally understood the reason behind Lu Zhiwei's leadership.

It seemed the sect had an intricate understanding of the Cyan Mountain Range.

Knowing exactly where what level of demon beast was, and in which direction beast herds were migrating.

This proficiency was quite impressive.

Moreover, Lu Zhiwei even knew in advance that a demon hunting squad would appear, not only understanding that the squad consisted of loose cultivators but also being aware of their intended route.

It seemed as if an eye overlooking from above was guiding Lu Zhiwei forward.

Of course, all this was thanks to Lu Ping's scouting.

While leading, confirming the absence of threats nearby, Lu Ping would expand his reconnaissance scope, continuously monitoring the surrounding environment.

For instance, regarding that demon hunting squad, Lu Ping even eavesdropped on some conversations, learning that the squad was about to leave the Cyan Mountain Range.

Due to caution against loose cultivators, he also avoided letting Lu Zhiwei's group encounter them, opting to detour around them from afar.

Traversing for two days like this, following Lu Ping's guidance, the last three locations were successfully acquired by the group.

This outcome further convinced Song Minghui and others that the sect must have sent someone to investigate this area.

Perhaps, the places the sect had explored weren't just these few; other areas might be hiding treasures.

During this expedition, the group efficiently focused only where essential, avoiding unnecessary battles, and slaying a total of three demon beasts.

A Tiger Demon, a Green Demon Python, and an Earthfire Lizard.

They harvested a total of six hundred twenty-three spirit medicines.

With Zixu Grass being the most abundant.

The rest included Fire Cloud Reishi, Wind Spirit Grass, Ice and Fire Fruit, Jade Vine Flower, among others.

Altogether, in terms of selling, these spirit medicines could bring around two thousand nine hundred Spirit Stones in profit to the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Following Lu Ping's suggestion, selling a portion while leaving the rest in the sect for She Qingqing's alchemical use was possible.

Once five of the six locations were successfully completed, with only the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree left temporary unattainable, Lu Ping called Lu Zhiwei and her group to return to Cyan Lotus Mountain.

Xuu Yi, being an experiential trainee, was allowed by Lu Ping, per his wish, to continue honing on the outskirts of the Cyan Mountain Range.

This was a good opportunity for his tempering; Lu Ping would not intervene.

The Cyan Mountain Range could be left unattended for now.

"I'll return to Cyan Lotus Mountain with you."

"I'll scout the way ahead."

Having led them deep into the Cyan Mountain Range, naturally, Lu Ping wanted to ensure a safe return, thus accompanying Lu Zhiwei's group back to the sect.

Also intending to continue escorting, avoiding high-tier demon beasts that might linger on the mountain range's outskirts.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and they returned to the Cyan Mountain Sect without obstacle.

Upon returning to the sect, She Qingqing immediately went back to the Medicinal Garden, beginning to store and plant the spirit herbs.

Zixu Grass and Wind Spirit Grass, being some of the spirit herbs, also had a few immature seedlings to attempt cultivation.

After more than a year of Spirit Vein nourishment, the spiritual energy in the Medicinal Garden gradually thickened, enabling the sect to plant additional spirit herbs.

Therefore, the sect would attempt to cultivate Zixu Grass and Wind Spirit Grass.

Lu Ping need not worry about the matters concerning the spirit herbs.

He had other issues to attend to.
