Incredible Sect Simulator

[Reputation: 48]

After checking the current reputation points, although they weren't many, Lu Ping decided to do something for the sect again, aiming to quickly tackle the battle against the Black Water Profound Snake.

After obtaining the Celestial Cyan Divine Wood and nurturing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for the sect, that Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree in the Cyan Mountain Range would also be within reach.

Looking at the sect's mall, there weren't many items that could substantially benefit the sect. Lu Ping thought about it and decided to refresh the mall.

10 points were deducted for the refresh, and the mall underwent an update.

The mall interface flickered, revealing a new interface with newly listed items.

The refresh was quite lucky, bringing five new items in total.

Among them, four intrigued Lu Ping.

One was [One-Star - Diligent and Studious].

A little over a year ago, this was used on She Qingqing. With the effect's blessing and She Qingqing's own efforts, she successfully became an alchemist in over a year.

This item is quite useful indeed.

The other three items Lu Ping hadn't seen before.

Among them, two were two-star items; the odds of refreshing a two-star item were pretty high this time. E*nj#o%y+in$g@ the s&to^ry.?% D%i@s-c$o@v&er mo@r$e on M|.V|LE*M6$P+YR.!

[One-Star - Qi Fortune Blessing], [Two-Star - Cloud Water Green Waves], [Two-Star - Spirit Vein Upgrade].

Lu Ping clicked on the first one to examine.

[Qi Fortune Blessing: One-Star]

[Effect: Select a sect member, granting them a chance to receive a qi fortune blessing]

[Reputation: 20]

Qi fortune is deeply mysterious. Cultivators with good fortune tend to have a smooth-sailing life, facing fewer setbacks, and having more opportunities to encounter fortuitous chances than other cultivators.

It was the first time Lu Ping saw that the system could grant qi fortune blessings to sect members. Such an opportunity couldn't be missed; this item had to be redeemed.

As for who to give it to?

After pondering for a while, Lu Ping remembered Xuu Yi was still experiencing in the Cyan Mountain Range.

If a sect member was to receive a qi fortune blessing, Lu Ping decided to choose Xuu Yi.

The reason was simple: the [Experience] function allows the designated disciple to bring back some specialties, fortuitous chances, or even dao companions to Cyan Mountain Sect. It can also trigger some random missions for Lu Ping to complete.

Overall, it benefits Cyan Mountain Sect.

Just like last time, when Xuu Yi discovered the Demon Cultivator in Tide Sound Town, the system issued an experience mission to eliminate the Demon Cultivator. After dealing with Wu Heng, a subsequent experience mission was issued.

These two experience missions brought considerable reputation points to Lu Ping.

And recently, Xuu Yi captured Ying Biehe, the Flower Thief of Jiyang City, bringing in 40 reputation points.

Now, granting a qi fortune blessing to Xuu Yi might let him encounter even better opportunities.

Regardless of whether this idea can be realized, trying it won't hurt.

As the only disciple experiencing outside of Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Ping wouldn't shortchange him; the necessary resources would still be provided.

Spending 20 reputation points, Lu Ping redeemed [Qi Fortune Blessing] and applied it to Xuu Yi.

Hopefully, this disciple will encounter a good opportunity while experiencing in the Cyan Mountain Range.

After blessing qi fortune, Lu Ping checked the other two-star items.

The [Two-Star - Cloud Water Green Waves] particularly surprised Lu Ping.

This is an ice attribute technique tailored specifically for cultivators with the Ice Attribute Main Spirit Root. It can accommodate cultivation through Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and Crystallization realms.

Currently, there is no ice attribute technique in Cyan Mountain Sect.

Li Weimiao has the Ice Attribute Celestial Spirit Root, possessing great aptitude, yet Cyan Mountain Sect cannot provide her with a suitable technique. This is quite stifling and might squander Li Weimiao's talent.

Fortunately, the appearance of Cloud Water Green Waves is just right for Li Weimiao and also resolves the lack of ice attribute techniques within Cyan Mountain Sect.

"However, it's quite expensive. To redeem Cloud Water Green Waves, 100 reputation points are required."

With limited reputation points, completely redeeming all items was impossible, so Lu Ping had to settle for a brief glance.

The final item was [Two-Star - Spirit Vein Upgrade].

[Spirit Vein Upgrade: Two-Star]

[Effect: Optimize a sect spirit vein, upgrading it by one tier. The optimization effect requires a year to complete, finalized after one year]

[Reputation: 300]

"It can upgrade the Spirit Vein Level?!"

Seeing this effect, Lu Ping's expression shifted.

This was akin to [Resource Optimization] but could only be used on sect spirit veins.

Currently, the Cyan Lotus Mountain Spirit Vein level is Tier Two Lower Grade, confirmed several times in the system panel by Lu Ping.

Cyan Lotus Mountain was chosen as the sect's founding site by Lu Ping, originally harboring a Tier Four Lower Grade spirit vein.

To acquire this vein, Lu Ping struck down the Golden Core Level demon beast, Green Water Flood Dragon, which occupied Cyan Lotus Mountain.

Afterward, Cyan Mountain Sect took root at Cyan Lotus Mountain. Until the demonic chaos, the sect protection array 'Li Fire Celestial Ruins Array' was shattered by the Three Demon Venerables leading numerous Demon Cultivators up the mountain.

The Cyan Lotus Mountain spirit vein was severely damaged due to the extensive warfare, plummeting to Tier One Lower Grade, almost becoming a Land of the Dead.

Once the demonic chaos subsided, Lu Yuanshan spared no expense, pouring tens of thousands of spirit stones into repairing and nurturing the spirit vein to maintain the sect's foundation.

After a decade of effort and continuous spirit stone investment, the Cyan Lotus Mountain spirit vein was finally raised to Tier Two Lower Grade.

The process was truly arduous.

After reviving, Lu Ping learned the spirit vein level was still weak and wanted to further improve this spirit vein, but the sect simply couldn't afford enough spirit stones for the task.

Cultivating a spirit vein requires purchasing and deploying a Spirit Gathering Array, which is expensive, at least five thousand spirit stones.

Additionally, it requires time, usually taking three years minimum to see results.

It's costly and time-consuming.

However, now with [Two-Star Spirit Vein Upgrade], it would be much easier to enhance the Cyan Lotus Mountain spirit vein.

The key is, it doesn't cost money.

Just needs reputation points!

[Reputation: 18]

Seeing the current reputation points, Lu Ping was a bit troubled; the difference was still significant.

Moreover, he wanted to redeem both [One-Star - Diligent and Studious] and [Two-Star - Cloud Water Green Waves].

Calculating it, redeeming these three items required 420 reputation points.

It seems that another secluded cultivation session is necessary.

The sect's development is smooth, and security concerns don't worry Lu Ping for now.

Constantly watching the system where the desired items couldn't be redeemed and the redeemable ones having little effect on the sect, failing to further acquire the capability to change the sect's fortunes.

In this situation, instead of wasting time supervising the sect every day, it would be better to undergo secluded cultivation for another year or two to accumulate some reputation.

After all, as someone who's experienced secluded cultivation once, another session wouldn't be difficult to adjust to.

After contemplating, there's approximately two years left before the three-year period, that is, before stopping the disciples' allowance for three years.

How about undergoing secluded cultivation for two years this time, then upon waking, replenish the disciples' allowances, and by then, gather enough spirit stone resources to accomplish major tasks.

The sect needs to gather funds, Lu Ping needs to accumulate reputation.

Just two years, not long, and nothing should occur during that period to impact the sect significantly. With Lu Yuanshan managing, Lu Ping feels quite assured.

Another aspect is that Lu Ping plans, after emerging from secluded cultivation this time, to organize a group to advance towards Hidden Nether Mountain to combat the Black Water Profound Snake.
