Incredible Sect Simulator

While Lu Ping was lost in thought, Bai Xianhe, Yang Zhenning, and the others around him all showed interest, eager to exchange for such a treasure.

"Celestial Wind Daoist, how about I trade two Tier Five High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts with you? I have some interest in this Purple Sun Celestial Sword, would you be willing to part with it?"

A Golden Core Cultivator spoke up, attempting to exchange two Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts.

"Daoist."

Celestial Wind Daoist shook his head and said, "I only wish to exchange for a Tier Six Spiritual Artifact."

No one asked why he was insistent on exchanging for a Tier Six Spiritual Artifact.

However, everyone could feel at this moment that Celestial Wind Daoist’s cultivation was already at the Eighth-Layer Golden Core Stage, with hopes of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage.

It seemed that the Tier Six Spiritual Artifact was prepared in advance for use after advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage.

After all, Tier Six Spiritual Artifacts are hard to find on the market, even lacking within the Dubhe Institute.

Lu Ping pondered for a moment, then quickly took out a wooden box.

Opening the wooden box, it revealed nine flying blades inside.

"This is called the Black Dragon Mother and Child Blade, a Tier Six Lower Grade, consisting of eight sub-blades and one mother blade. When a cultivator uses this set of artifacts, they can control the sub-blades or the mother blade independently to face the enemy."

Lu Ping briefly introduced, using magical power to float the wooden box in front of Celestial Wind Daoist.

Celestial Wind Daoist’s eyes lit up with interest as he examined it for a while.

"Black Dragon Mother and Child Blade, a fine artifact."

Finally, he nodded with satisfaction, "I’ll exchange."

And so, the Purple Sun Celestial Sword fell into Lu Ping’s hands.

The trading session continued, and the flying ship soon arrived at the central part of Lingxi State, entering a place called the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.

The Celestial Cloud Mountain Range, in Lingxi State, which is known as the Water and Wood Continent, is just an inconspicuous mountain range.

However, because the main base of the Dubhe Institute is located here, it made the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range quite famous.

Except for Celestial Wind Daoist, it was everyone’s first time at the main base of the Dubhe Institute.

They looked down, seeing ancient and imposing buildings standing upon the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range, making it quite bustling. Compared to the Cyan Mountain Sect, the Heaven-Facing Sect, and the Celestial Saint Palace, just from the architectural style and grandeur, it was on another level.

The Celestial Cloud Mountain Range gained fame across the world because of the Dubhe Institute.

Lingxi State, due to the presence of the Dubhe Institute, is also considered a significant state by major domains.

The flying ship headed towards the mountain gate of the Dubhe Institute, and as it neared the large square where ships were docked, everyone saw a huge round ring suspended in the air, emitting a faint golden glow as it slowly turned.

This round ring had a diameter reaching up to a thousand zhang, making it extremely prominent in the sky.

"What is that?"

Lu Changfeng looked at the huge golden round ring and couldn’t help but ask.

Celestial Wind Daoist smiled faintly and explained, "That is the Dubhe Treasure Mirror."

As soon as he spoke, he glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Welcome, fellow Daoists, to the Dubhe Institute."

Quickly, the flying ship descended onto a massive square.

Around them, huge ships kept arriving slowly, while others were setting sail.

Lu Ping noticed that the cultivators present had a cultivation of at least mid-stage Foundation Establishment, with a few Golden Core cultivators appearing as well.

As expected of the first power in Lingxi State. Just upon their initial arrival and landing here, two Golden Core cultivators appeared, alongside over ten Crystallization Stage cultivators.

Seeing Lu Ping and others disembark from the ship, the Dubhe Institute cultivators merely glanced at them before attending to their own affairs.

At this moment, someone noticed rays of golden light descending from the sky, illuminating them.

"What is this?"

The appearance of this light triggered a sense of caution, but then they realized that being illuminated by the golden light caused no strange sensations, leading to curiosity and questions.

"Do not be alarmed, everyone. This is the Dubhe Treasure Mirror detecting your auras. It automatically checks the aura states of newcomers to see if any are demon cultivators."

"As this is your first visit, you’ll get used to it in the future."

Celestial Wind Daoist carefully explained the Dubhe Treasure Mirror, roughly meaning that it periodically checks the aura states of Dubhe Institute cultivators and outside cultivators to prevent demonic infestation and invasion.

This is also to prevent the growth of demons within the Dubhe Institute.

Externally, it promptly identifies demons and swiftly clears them out.

The present ten individuals, including Lu Ping, were all righteous Dao cultivators with no heart demons, so no matter how the Dubhe Treasure Mirror’s light shone, they weren’t concerned.

Soon, the Dubhe Treasure Mirror’s detection was complete.

Next, at Celestial Wind Daoist’s invitation, it was decided to first tour and explore the Dubhe Institute, to admire its scenery.

After this tour, everyone gained an understanding of the Dubhe Institute’s size and layout.

As for marveling at the architecture and scenery, there wasn’t much of that.

They were all Golden Core cultivators and had long grown accustomed to seeing magnificent buildings and the scenery of grotto heavens and blessed lands.

Except for Lu Ping, their thoughts were all focused on the resource exchange.

Someone couldn’t help but ask if they could proceed to the Resources Hall for the exchange.

"Hahaha, it was my oversight, please follow me, fellow Daoists."

Celestial Wind Daoist laughed and led everyone towards the direction of the Resources Hall.

The Resources Hall of the Dubhe Institute was located in the eastern area.

Along the way, Crystallization Stage cultivators occasionally appeared, all advancing on foot rather than utilizing magical artifacts or riding spirit beasts to fly about.

The surrounding atmosphere was well-ordered and did not seem chaotic.

Even the occasional Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared to be engaging in discussions about cultivation, discussing which Golden Core Ancestor would be giving a lecture today and hastening to listen to not miss it.

Before long, they arrived outside the Resources Hall, where they saw an elderly man in a green robe approaching with a smile.

His arrival didn’t provoke much attention, and even to Lu Ping and others, he merely warranted a casual glance without any remarkable or extraordinary traits.

However, upon seeing this elder, Celestial Wind Daoist’s eyes reflected a hint of surprise.

"Dean."

Seeing the dean of the Dubhe Institute appear, Celestial Wind Daoist promptly straightened his expression, showing respect, "You are here."

"Dean..."

Hearing Celestial Wind Daoist address this elderly man as the dean, Lu Changfeng’s expression shifted, and he couldn’t help but scrutinize the elder.
