Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Spiritual Peach Tree Harvest and Sect Assembly

Fear not an eventuality, but fear the unforeseen.

What if the medicinal garden doesn’t reach Tier Two, and instead spawns a pest threat or some other unforeseen issue due to this optimization?

She Qingqing is only at Second-Layer Qi Cultivation, and Li Weixiao is not even at First-Layer Qi Cultivation.

If an Insect King appears, how would they defend against it?

Now that She Qingqing has become an alchemist, she is valuable, and Li Weixiao must not come to harm either. Thus, Zhiwei must stay on duty for a few more days.

For the following days, according to Lu Ping’s instructions, Zhiwei remained stationed in the medicinal garden.

No threats like the Insect King appeared.

The medicinal garden remained calm, and even daily pest control was quite easy.

It seems that this optimization indeed failed to produce any pest problems in the medicinal garden, allowing Lu Ping to relax significantly.

After having Zhiwei depart from the medicinal garden and no longer monitor it, the sect reached the end of the month.

[The Spiritual Peach Tree bore spiritual peaches, achieving the first spiritual peach harvest, yielding ×182 spiritual peaches]

On this day, Lu Ping saw the system message pop up.

The spiritual peaches had finally matured.

At noon of that day, She Qingqing sent word that the Spiritual Peach Tree had fully matured, and the spiritual peaches could be harvested.

Lu Ping had exchanged for three Spiritual Peach Trees, all planted in the medicinal garden a year ago. According to estimates, the yield was about 182 peaches.

These spiritual peaches are worth three spirit stones each, which translates to a value of approximately 540 spirit stones, a considerable income.

Compared to ordinary peaches, spiritual peaches don’t have any distinctive outward differences, though they appear fresher and slightly larger, containing spirit charm.

The task of picking the spiritual peaches was personally overseen by Lu Yuanshan, with She Qingqing and Li Weixiao assisting.

Of course, Lu Ping was also present.

Having personally exchanged for the Spiritual Peach Trees, now producing spiritual peaches, he naturally wanted to see them.

In a corner of the medicinal garden, looking at the tree full of spiritual peaches, Lu Yuanshan wore an uncontainable smile.

In addition to his joy, he picked two spiritual peaches each for She Qingqing and Li Weixiao to taste, as a reward for their care of the Spiritual Peach Tree during this period.

Without their efforts, the Spiritual Peach Tree wouldn’t have thrived this well.

"The taste of this spiritual peach is not only sweet and delicious, but the spiritual energy contained within is quite extraordinary."

Lu Yuanshan also picked one to taste, finding the peach flesh sweet and flavorful, with abundant juice, rich in spiritual power.

"Mm, it is indeed very tasty, no wonder it sells for three spirit stones apiece in the market."

After tasting, She Qingqing also praised it highly.

After consuming one spiritual peach, she quickly felt her spiritual power surging, akin to refining a Qi Cultivation Pill, slightly touching the threshold of Third-Layer Qi Cultivation.

She had been in Second-Layer Qi Cultivation for more than two years.

Considering her Three Spirit Roots qualifications, factoring in her caretaking of the medicinal garden, it was estimated that it would take another two to three months to reach the threshold of Third-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Now, by consuming a spiritual peach, this timeline was immediately advanced, prompting her to sit down and aim for the Third-Layer Qi Cultivation threshold.

Beside her, Li Weixiao enjoyed the spiritual peach’s deliciousness, now realizing the peach’s substantial value upon seeing She Qingqing breaking through.

Anything involving spirit stones seemed expensive to him, even if worth just one spirit stone.

Seeing She Qingqing breaking through on the spot, Lu Yuanshan was in no rush to pick the spiritual peaches, serving as her Protector.

In the Cyan Mountain Sect, breakthroughs were relatively secure.

After about half a quarter of an hour, She Qingqing’s magical power had significantly increased.

By refining the spiritual peach this time, she successfully broke through to Third-Layer Qi Cultivation.

"Congratulations."

Lu Yuanshan smiled slightly, feeling happy for her.

Every advancement in a sect disciple’s cultivation is beneficial to the sect, and he was particularly optimistic about She Qingqing.

"Thanks to the sect’s nurturing."

She Qingqing also wore a face full of joy.

The timing of consuming the spiritual peach was perfectly suited; consuming one peach a few months earlier would certainly not have been enough to assist in her breakthrough.

It was precisely as she approached the Third-Layer Qi Cultivation threshold that the peach’s effects aided her breakthrough progress.

The picking of spiritual peaches proceeded smoothly and easily.

The group tallied the numbers, and after accounting for the three consumed, they ended up with 179 peaches.

Four peaches were left to reward She Qingqing, while the remaining were placed in prepared jade boxes, leaving Lu Yuanshan satisfied as he departed the medicinal garden.

"The sect’s economy is recovering, income has greatly increased, so this year’s spiritual peaches should all remain within the sect for disciple use and not be sold."

Witnessing the completion of the peach harvest, Lu Ping communicated this instruction to Lu Yuanshan.

"I was thinking the same."

Lu Yuanshan nodded, aligning with his intention.

Although selling spiritual peaches would surely have a market.

Yet the disciples’ stipends had been halted for three years, and the necessary cultivation resources should not be reduced; spiritual peaches happen to serve as compensation.

The sect’s current economy is considerable, making it unnecessary to sell such good things as spiritual peaches; nurturing disciples is especially important.

Lu Yuanshan is generous in distributing spiritual peaches.

Once each disciple had received three peaches, Lu Yuanshan carefully stored the remaining spiritual peaches to carry with him.

The peaches have a long storage life, lasting around three years.

In the future, they can serve as rewards, encouraging disciples to contribute to the sect and strengthen it further.

Time flies, and it’s the end of the month again.

On this day, Lu Yuanshan gathered Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng.

"Just right, it has been over a year since the sect invested in the Spirit Field, She Qingqing has become an alchemist, and father has emerged from closed-door cultivation; why not hold a Sect Assembly?"

Long before year-end, Lu Yuanshan excitedly gathered the disciples.

Before long, all sect disciples assembled in the Sect Hall.

Except Xuu Mengyuan stationed in Guangde County couldn’t attend.

Marketplace shopkeepers Xu Yecheng and Qian Yingcai had to manage the shops.

And Xuu Yi, who was training across the Chu Kingdom, was not returning temporarily.

Now all sect members were assembled.

The assembly scene was somewhat reminiscent of the meeting Lu Ping witnessed upon waking for voting, albeit with a more solemn atmosphere.

This time, however, the assembly was joyous.

Lu Yuanshan naturally presided over the meeting.

He began straightforwardly, his face without any trace of worry, filled with a smile.

"Today’s assembly is mainly to announce a few matters."

"The first matter, through the expansion of Spirit Fields and the medicinal garden, the sect’s efforts over the past year have increased Spirit Field yield by about fourfold. This year’s spirit rice harvest reached over eight thousand catties, bringing a profit of about two thousand spirit stones to the sect."

"The sect’s deficit crisis has been resolved."

Hearing Lu Yuanshan detailing the Spirit Field’s yield, the disciples were visibly delighted, having somewhat expected the Field’s profitable yield this year.
