Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 549 - 517: Award Issuance, Medicinal Garden Expansion
"Elder Zhang, with the Foundation Establishment Pill, establishing the foundation becomes much easier. I wish you success in reaching Foundation Establishment."
Lu Yuanshan smiled.
"Hahaha, I’ll take your auspicious words, Sect Leader."
Having said that, Zhang Deming took out a bag of Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and handed it to Lu Yuanshan.
"These are the Spirit Stones for purchasing this Foundation Establishment Pill. Sect Leader, you can count them."
Ten thousand Spirit Stones was the price for purchasing the Foundation Establishment Pill this time.
The two had agreed on this long ago.
Lu Yuanshan held the Spirit Stones but didn’t count them, guessing that Zhang Deming wouldn’t shoot himself in the foot.
After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Zhang Deming returned to Little Cold Mountain to plan his secluded cultivation and prepare to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Zhang Deming had high hopes for this secluded cultivation to reach Foundation Establishment. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
He had waited so long for this Foundation Establishment Pill, and he had been preparing for the secluded cultivation for a while.
After Zhang Deming entered the secluded state, the atmosphere in the Zhang Family was somewhat tense. On one hand, they were worried Zhang Deming might not succeed in Foundation Establishment.
On the other hand, since the founding of the Zhang Family, they had not formally birthed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Thus, everyone in the Zhang Family held great expectations for Zhang Deming’s Foundation Establishment this time.
Turning our sights back to the Cyan Mountain Sect, as Elder Jiang said, upon returning to the Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Yuanshan found himself busy with many sect duties.
In the morning, Lu Yuanshan gathered Song Minghui and other disciples who participated in the Southern Wilderness expedition, nine in total, in the Sect Hall.
After a simple speech and words of gratitude, Lu Yuanshan swiftly handed out the rewards for participating in the Southern Wilderness expedition.
One thousand Sect Contribution Points, one bottle of Qi Cultivation Pills, and five hundred Spirit Stones were the rewards.
Compared to the rewards from the Southern Wilderness expedition, the rewards were not much, but these benefits were still considerable.
The biggest advantage, in fact, was participating in the Southern Wilderness expedition.
If they hadn’t seized this opportunity, where else could they have gotten the chance to slay demon beasts and earn Battle Merit Points?
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
After receiving their rewards, Song Minghui and the others expressed sincere gratitude.
"This is what you deserve."
Lu Yuanshan smiled faintly and chatted with the disciples for a bit, asking them, like Song Minghui and Lin Han, about their recent growth in strength and future plans.
According to Song Minghui, she had exchanged for two Foundation Establishment Pills and planned to begin her secluded cultivation for Foundation Establishment tomorrow.
The same was true for Lin Han, who had long wanted to reach Foundation Establishment.
The other disciples also had some growth in strength.
The least had advanced a Small Realm.
After returning to the sect, these disciples would take elixirs or enter secluded cultivation to enhance and consolidate their cultivation in the coming period.
This is where the Qi Cultivation Pills would be of use.
After distributing the rewards to the disciples, Lu Yuanshan then headed to Liu Qiubai’s residence to find his fiancée.
The elegant residence arranged by Lu Zhiwei was in a large courtyard, serene and beautiful.
When Lu Yuanshan arrived, he saw Liu Qiubai meditating under a begonia tree in the courtyard.
Threads of Spiritual Qi swirled around her, rhythmically entering her body and being refined and absorbed into her Dantian.
Lu Yuanshan stood quietly by without disturbing her.
After a while, when Liu Qiubai slowly finished her meditation, she noticed Lu Yuanshan’s arrival.
"Yuanshan, when did you get here?"
Liu Qiubai stood up and asked, a hint of softness flashing in her eyes.
As usual, she was used to practicing and cultivating alone, thinking she was at Nine Cold Mountain, and ignored Lu Yuanshan standing aside, which made her a little embarrassed.
"I just arrived."
Lu Yuanshan smiled faintly.
"Did you sleep well here last night?"
He then inquired.
Liu Qiubai gently nodded, saying, "Thanks for your concern, I’ve gotten used to it."
"Mhm, let me show you around the Cyan Mountain Sect. The scenery here is quite nice in places."
Lu Yuanshan invited.
Liu Qiubai did not refuse and spent the whole morning with Lu Yuanshan touring various places in the Cyan Mountain Sect.
Compared to Nine Cold Mountain, the scenery of the Cyan Mountain Sect was quite ordinary to Liu Qiubai.
However, she knew of Lu Yuanshan’s kind intentions.
Through this tour of the Cyan Mountain Sect, Liu Qiubai developed some interest in the place, pondering the possibility of living and cultivating here in the future.
The morning passed quickly, and after hosting Liu Qiubai, Lu Yuanshan took her to the Sect’s Medicine Garden along the way.
She Qingqing was teaching Li Weixiao the art of alchemy. Seeing Lu Yuanshan arriving, she was delighted and quickly paid her respects.
"Sect Leader, you’ve returned."
Actually, she knew since yesterday that Lu Yuanshan and his party had returned to the Cyan Mountain Sect.
She just didn’t expect the Sect Leader to come to the Medicine Garden the next day.
"Qingqing, during the half year I was away, the task of tending and harvesting the Spirit Medicines must have troubled you and Weixiao."
Lu Yuanshan spoke while glancing at the Medicine Garden, noticing that the many varieties of Spirit Medicine were growing well.
The excellent quality of the Spirit Medicine was certainly partly due to She Qingqing’s efforts.
"The Sect Leader gives me too much credit; it’s what a disciple should do."
She Qingqing smiled and then glanced at Liu Qiubai.
Upon first seeing Liu Qiubai, even She Qingqing, who prided herself on having seen many beauties, was moved by Liu Qiubai’s stunning looks.
"Sect Leader, who is this?"
She asked.
Thinking to herself, such a beautiful lady, could she be an alchemy master the Sect Leader brought back from outside?
Planning to assign her to the Medicine Garden to perform sect duties?
"Hehe, I forgot to introduce you."
"This is Liu Qiubai, Elder Liu from Nine Cold Mountain."
Liu Qiubai’s illustrious name from Nine Cold Mountain was well-known in the Chu Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm; almost no cultivator hadn’t heard of her.
She Qingqing naturally had heard of her fame as well.
"So it’s Elder Liu."
She Qingqing respectfully bowed.
"Greetings, Elder Liu."
"Mhm."
Liu Qiubai nodded with a smile.
This is when Lu Yuanshan got straight to the point, taking out various Spirit Medicines, seeds, and elixir formulas from his Storage Bag, neatly laid out before She Qingqing.
"These are some resources brought back from the Southern Wilderness expedition. In the coming days, work with Weixiao and Master Li to plant these Spirit Medicines and Spiritual Grass Seeds."
"Additionally, these three Spirit Trees—the Vermilion Sun Fruit Tree, Silver Horn Tree, and Spiritual Apricot Tree—find an area to plant them."
Regarding the expansion of the Medicine Garden, Lu Yuanshan gave detailed instructions, and She Qingqing listened very carefully.
Liu Qiubai watched Lu Yuanshan as he earnestly tended to sect duties, not interrupting, and waited quietly on the side.
When she felt bored, she casually used the Golden Needle Technique to kill some Spirit Worms she saw attached to the Spirit Medicines.
As Elder Jiang’s disciple, Liu Qiubai was also somewhat knowledgeable in the Dao of Alchemy and had cared for a Spirit Medicine Garden, mastering the Golden Needle Technique and Spirit Gathering Rain Technique.
