CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 132: SECT AND SYSTEM LEVEL UPGRADE

Upon learning the location of this Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree, which is still situated within the Cyan Mountain Range, Lu Yuanshan couldn’t help but recall the previous action of picking spirit medicines and spirit fruits in the Cyan Mountain Range guided by Lu Ping.

That operation was quite profitable for the sect.

"The Celestial Spirit Fruit borne by the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree is one of the main ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. As long as we transplant this spirit tree back, we won’t have to worry about at least one main ingredient for Foundation Establishment Pills in the future."

Lu Yuanshan, with considerable experience, knew what Celestial Spirit Fruit was, and his mind was already made up.

He could guess that Lu Ping had not led Zhiwei and the others to transplant the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree last time due to concerns about their lack of strength, hence it was never mentioned.

Now that he has entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, he has the ability to accomplish this task, bringing back that Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree wholly.

"Exactly, since your son has now successfully established his foundation, leave the matter of the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree to him, and rest assured, father."

"Hmm, it’s necessary to take down this Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree, but one shouldn’t be too hasty."

Lu Ping put forth his idea.

"Now that you have been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Tier One Spiritual Artifacts you carry are unable to exert their maximum effect. You need to find a way to acquire better-tier Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts to further enhance your combat power."

"See if Zhiwei can refine one or two Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts."

Speaking of this, Lu Ping communicated with Lu Zhiwei for a moment, called Lu Zhiwei over as well, and talked about the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree.

Understanding Lu Ping’s intention to upgrade Lu Yuanshan’s equipment, Lu Zhiwei was quite willing and said, "Father, there are just the refining materials for Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts."

She mentioned the matter of cleaning up the locust plague in Pingyuan County.

"During the cleanup of the locust plague in Pingyuan County and other places, I brought back some refining materials taken from the Locust King’s body."

"As long as these refining materials are properly utilized, they can be refined into one or two Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts. I can give it a try."

After upgrading to a Tier Two Lower Grade Artifact Refiner, Lu Zhiwei’s mastery in artifact refining improved rapidly, and she now has a sign of moving toward Tier Two Middle Grade.

Refining one or two Tier Two Lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts is indeed not very difficult.

"It’s good to have refining materials, so regarding the matter of Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, I’ll leave it to you."

Lu Ping nodded, having materials meant it could be refined, and he wasn’t too particular.

"Let’s go into secluded cultivation for refining today, and matters of the Cyan Mountain Range should be settled as soon as possible, don’t delay."

After explaining the artifact refining matter, Lu Ping looked again at Lu Yuanshan.

"Yuanshan, the Taihe Cave Heaven Heart Method I previously taught you can increase the attack output power of cultivators. It would be beneficial for your defense this time, you should cultivate quickly."

"Alright."

"You all should prepare thoroughly for this departure. You may arrange your departure date yourselves, I won’t designate it."

All three siblings nodded.

Next, the three of them carefully discussed the departure date, decided to set off in half a month, and then dispersed.

After the three children left, Lu Ping brought up the system panel, deciding to take a good look at what changes Lu Yuanshan’s Foundation Establishment success will bring to the system.

As soon as he opened the system main panel, before he could even glance, several dialogue boxes popped out crazily.

[A sect member has detected a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Cyan Mountain Sect Sect Level Increased]

[Sect Level: Foundation Establishment Sect]

[Due to the sect level upgrade, the highest level of products offered in the system mall can now be three-star products]

[Due to the sect level upgrade, the refresh reputation points in the mall increased to 20 reputation points per refresh]

[Due to the sect level upgrade, your movement speed will be doubled]

......

These were all the messages in the dialogue box.

Lu Ping glanced a few times, focusing on the changes in the system mall and the movement speed of the consciousness body.

The mall able to offer three-star products was within expectations.

But the movement speed was unexpected.

The slow pace of his consciousness body was something Lu Ping himself found slow.

When he first left Cyan Mountain Sect to travel afar, heading to Hidden Nether Mountain over 1300 miles away, how much time did it take?

A full eleven days!

Now with the speed doubled, it’s not necessarily fast, but better than before.

This feeling is quite enjoyable.

In the Cave Mansion, moving back and forth, experiencing the increase in floating speed, Lu Ping then opened the system mall again.

[Due to the sect level upgrade, the mall will undergo a free refresh once. Subsequent refreshes will cost 20 reputation points per refresh]

The free update is a benefit, instantly saving 20 reputation points.

The mall began to refresh automatically.

Lu Ping closely watched the mall interface bounce, and soon got the results.

[Three-star - Ancestral Blessing], [Three-star - Purple Extreme Escape Light], [Three-star - Cultivation Cave Mansion].

To his surprise, three three-star items appeared at once.

Additionally, there were five one-star and one two-star items.

In this free refresh, a total of ten new items appeared.

Equivalent to two or three times spending reputation points for refreshing, this time the system’s refresh benefit is quite good.

[Ancestral Blessing: Three-star]

[Effect: Select one sect member, granting that member a certain probability of blessing, allowing them to escape danger smoothly, lasts for one year]

[Reputation: 150]

First checking the effect of [Three-star - Ancestral Blessing], Lu Ping couldn’t take his eyes off it.

According to this effect, it is equivalent to adding fortune to a sect member, able to smoothly resolve some crises.

Suitable for disciples going out.

As for Xuu Yi...

No need to use it on him for now, let’s keep it.

The other two items, one being [Three-star - Purple Extreme Escape Light], is a Five Elements Technique.

This technique can perfectly match the cultivation of Five Elements cultivators.

However, cultivators with attributes like ice, wind, and lightning beyond the five elements will experience diminished effects when practicing this technique.

After mastering this technique, one can use the Purple Extreme Escape Light, swiftly escaping a thousand feet, with very low consumption of magical power.

A late-stage Qi cultivator, even after sustaining the technique for a thousand-mile escape, can still retain one or two-tenths of magical power.

Whether for travel, escape, or suddenly closing in on enemies and delivering a surprise killing move, this technique is an exceptional choice.

Comparing its speed with Lu Zhiwei’s Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword’s Chasing Wind and Moon, they are equally matched.

The exchange price for this item is 200 reputation points.

A worthy exchange, useful for running away or lifesaving purposes in critical moments.

Lu Ping thought about it for a moment, preparing to redeem it later.

Considering the last item.

[Cultivation Cave Mansion: Three-star]

[Effect: Construct a small cultivation Cave Mansion, increasing sect members’ cultivation speed by 35% within the mansion, effect permanent. Only effective for Crystallization Stage and below cultivators, one person per use of the mansion]

[Reputation: 300]
