Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Sect is Getting Better and Better

This secluded cultivation session earned a gain of 1200 Reputation Points, allowing for some operations afterward to refresh the mall and support the sect.

Secondly, there’s the second change.

The sect’s reputation section has undergone a subtle change.

Lu Ping remembered clearly that before the secluded cultivation, the sect’s reputation was always displayed as "reputation greatly reduced, path unclear."

Now, it has changed to "reputation rising, path unclear."

It seems that completing the task of clearing the Sandstorm Beasts, combined with previously eradicating demon cultivators in Tide Sound Town and Guangde County, brought considerable goodwill towards the Cyan Mountain Sect among the people in these three places.

This allowed the Cyan Mountain Sect’s reputation to spread, thereby gaining some prestige.

Regarding the sect’s reputation, Lu Ping decided to pay attention to it in the future and not neglect it.

As for the term "path unclear," the Cyan Mountain Sect has only eliminated four demon cultivators and found no evidence of disciples committing evil in the world, so the system cannot yet assess the sect’s alignment between righteousness and evil.

There is no assessment of whether the Cyan Mountain Sect is a major righteous sect or a demonic cult.

Of course, Lu Ping definitely doesn’t want the Cyan Mountain Sect to develop along the path of evil.

Then, there’s the sect resources, with the addition of the Cyan Jade Bamboo; there’s nothing much to elaborate on here.

Finally, what interested Lu Ping the most was the sect’s income.

Before the secluded cultivation, the sect’s economy had always been in a deficit.

The last time Lu Ping checked the net income data, the net income was at a negative 450 a year.

Compared to previous years, this deficit, even with some improvements and a warming trend, still couldn’t escape the deficit.

But now, it seems that the change is significant.

Not only has the economic deficit been eliminated, but the annual income is estimated at 2990 Spirit Stones per year, with a net income reaching 2120 per year.

This annual income data calculation does not include the resource gains from the Spiritual Peach Tree, Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, and Cyan Jade Bamboo.

These three resources are for future sale or self-use, depending on the sect’s decision.

If not sold externally, there will naturally be no income for the sect, and it cannot be included in the sect’s economic benefit.

The current expenditure for the sect is maintained at 870 Spirit Stones per year, which is over three hundred Spirit Stones less than last year’s expenses.

This expenditure does not include the disciples’ stipend, as it has been temporarily suspended.

The Spirit Stones spent by the Cyan Mountain Sect this year were used to maintain sect operations, purchase Spirit Medicine Seeds, cultivate the Spirit Field and Medicinal Garden, and even invest in breeding Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish and cultivating Cyan Jade Bamboo.

These expenses are unavoidable.

Due to Lu Xuelian’s exploration of breeding Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish last year, the sect invested heavily in this resource, spending more Spirit Stones, so the expenses naturally increased.

Through over a year of exploring breeding methods, Lu Xuelian gradually learned some farming methods, and the Spirit Stones expenditure gradually decreased.

This is the main reason for the sect’s reduced expenditure.

With the reduction in sect expenditure, the sect’s savings of Spirit Stones reached 2790 pieces.

Compared to the destitute look of the sect when he first awakened, the sect is now much better.

The sect is getting better and better, and it will continue to rise in the future.

This time in secluded cultivation, reputation points were gained, and the sect’s economy achieved rapid growth.

Lu Ping rejoiced inwardly.

After understanding the changes in the sect, Lu Ping spent some time leaving the cave mansion to wander around Cyan Lotus Mountain once.

He went to check on the transplanted Cyan Jade Bamboo.

He also took a look at the bountiful Spirit Field and Medicinal Garden.

After spending more than an hour, Lu Ping finished wandering around Cyan Lotus Mountain.

Meanwhile, he found that hardly anyone was visible on Cyan Lotus Mountain at the moment.

Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei were nowhere to be found, and the other disciples were also out of sight, not knowing where they ran off to.

On this tour, Lu Ping only saw Lu Yuanshan, She Qingqing, Li Weixiao, Li Weimiao, and a few other disciples whose names he couldn’t recall.

Where did everyone go?

It was truly peaceful.

Floating outside the cave mansion, Lu Ping thought for a moment and decided to summon Lu Yuanshan first to inquire about the situation of the sect’s disciples and where they had gone.

In addition, he wanted to understand the sect’s development further, conduct mall refresh and exchanges, and further support the sect’s growth and expansion.

Holding more than six hundred Reputation Points, Lu Ping felt it would be a waste not to use them after this secluded cultivation.

"Yuanshan, your father has emerged from secluded cultivation."

"Come to the cave mansion in the back mountain to see me!"

Upon transmitting the message, it resounded in Lu Yuanshan’s mind.

The Cyan Mountain Sect’s second-generation Sect Leader was quite pleased to hear his father’s call.

Immediately, he set aside what he was doing and used the Wind Manipulation Technique to fly to the cave mansion on Cyan Lotus Peak.

Upon arriving outside the cave mansion in the forbidden area, Lu Yuanshan, his face filled with excitement, bowed deeply and performed the grand salute.

"Welcome, Father, out of secluded cultivation!"

"Hmm."

Lu Ping nodded and chatted casually with Lu Yuanshan for a few moments before beginning to inquire about the sect’s development over the past year.

Lu Yuanshan spoke nothing but the truth, informing Lu Ping of the sect’s situation step by step.

He explained that the current quietness of the sect was due to the recent bumper harvest in the Spirit Field and Medicinal Garden.

In order to escort these resource products to Qinghe Market for sale, Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei were dispatched with twenty disciples accompanying them.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping suddenly understood why the sect was so quiet.

Additionally, Lu Yuanshan also reported some individual situations of the sect disciples.

Compared to the cold system data, Lu Ping gained a more detailed understanding of the sect’s economic growth and increased Spirit Stones from what Lu Yuanshan shared.

He quite enjoyed this gradual discussion.

Then, they talked about the sect’s disciples.

Lu Ping was particularly concerned about She Qingqing.

After over a year of study, coupled with the effect of being diligent and studious, She Qingqing had mastered the theoretical knowledge of Alchemy two months ago and was now ready to try Alchemy herself.

Li Weixiao and Li Weimiao also laid a solid foundation for cultivation and formally embarked on the path of cultivation.

Among them, Li Weimiao, due to possessing the Celestial Spirit Root, cultivated much faster than Li Weixiao and had already reached the First Layer of Qi Cultivation.

This little girl’s potential was immense, making Lu Ping eager to find an Ice Attribute Technique to pass on to her for cultivation.

There was also another person, the second son, Lu Changfeng.

During this year, Lu Changfeng’s cultivation had reached the threshold of the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, and he would soon be able to break through.

His cultivation growth was, of course, aided by Lu Ping’s use of Cultivation Acceleration and Inner Sect Teachings.

Among the other disciples, a small portion at the Early-stage Qi Cultivation advanced one layer.

As for disciples like Zhang Nianchuan who were at the Late-stage Qi Cultivation, their cultivation growth was minimal but couldn’t be said to have no growth; it was just subtle.

Moreover, Lu Yuanshan reported on the external affairs of the Sandstorm Beasts and Cyan Jade Bamboo.

Everything that needed to be said and known by Lu Ping was thoroughly reported by Lu Yuanshan, with timely additions of anything he thought was missing.

This father-son exchange took more than half a day.

Until the long cry of the Cloud Stepping Beast was heard from the foot of Cyan Lotus Mountain, heralding the arrival of Lu Changfeng and his group at the sect, did the conversation come to an end.

Through this conversation, Lu Ping gained a comprehensive understanding of the sect’s development.

After activating the Mountain Protection Array to welcome Lu Changfeng and his group into the Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Yuanshan returned to the outside of the cave mansion and brought up a matter he had long wanted to consult about.

"Father, during Song Minghui and others’ elimination of the Sandstorm Beast’s Nest, they discovered an unknown purple-gold mineral which was brought back to the sect."

"This mineral has been handed over to the sect and is now in my possession. However, given my shallow experience and that of my sister and others, we cannot identify what it is. Father, do you recognize it?"

As he spoke, Lu Yuanshan opened the Storage Bag, took out the fist-sized purple-gold mineral, and placed it outside the cave mansion.
