Incredible Sect Simulator

Additionally, within the System Mall, there are some Four-Star and Five-Star items with quite noteworthy effects.

Lu Ping exchanged a few of them and applied them to the Sect.

For example, [Five-Star - Cultivation Atmosphere], [Four-Star - Mutual Aid], and so on.

Once exchanged, these can bring various improvements to the Cyan Mountain Sect.

These exchanges are indeed worthwhile.

After staying in the Cyan Mountain Sect for ten days, Lu Ping gave a few instructions to Lu Yuanshan and the others, especially Shanshan, reminding her not to be naughty, and to diligently follow Lu Yuanshan and others in guarding the Cyan Mountain Sect. Only then did Lu Ping prepare to depart for the Dubhe Institute.

"Don’t worry, Master, you go ahead. I’m still here with the Sect, I won’t run off."

Shanshan said with a laugh, circling around Lu Ping, with light gleaming in her eyes.

"Is Sister Xutian going with you?"

Shanshan asked, as she had been thinking of befriending this powerful sister ever since she learned of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit’s strength.

However, recently, the Void Celestial Sword Spirit had been in solitude, rarely appearing.

Coupled with her naturally aloof personality and reluctance to speak, she seldom interacted with the members of the Cyan Mountain Sect, making her seem extremely mysterious in the eyes of the sect’s disciples.

Shanshan also held a sense of reverence towards her, daring not to speak much before her, only exchanging a few greetings.

She remembered the first time she was in the presence of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, bouncing around, talking for a good while, only to be sent back to Lu Ping by the sword spirit, without much attention paid to her.

This is also a matter of concern for her now, whether the fierce Void Celestial Sword Spirit would be brought along.

If not, she would try to converse, otherwise, she might end up getting hit with no one to blame.

Even Lu Yuanshan and the others had to address the Void Celestial Sword Spirit as ’senior,’ and naturally couldn’t manage her.

"She will go with me."

Lu Ping replied.

Upon hearing this, Shanshan nodded twice, glanced around, and whispered, "If you weren’t taking her with you, I’d actually be a bit afraid of her."

As soon as she finished her words, the Void Celestial Sword Spirit appeared, transforming into the form of a woman, and hovered in front of Lu Ping.

"Ahhhhh!"

Seeing the Void Celestial Sword Spirit appear, Shanshan exclaimed in surprise, covering her eyes and peering through her fingers at the sword spirit, saying, "Sister Xutian, I was speaking nonsense, please don’t believe me."

This action from Shanshan left Lu Ping somewhat amused and helpless.

The Void Celestial Sword Spirit didn’t intend to tease Shanshan either, but looked at Lu Ping and slowly said, "For this expedition, I indeed want to go with you."

Actually, when Lu Ping went to the Dubhe Institute with Celestial Wind Daoist and others, the Void Celestial Sword Spirit had been accompanying him all along.

Later, when discussing the Ancient Ruins with Zhang Tianqun and Xu Dezhi, she was listening in.

This time, she also wanted to join the exploration.

"Then let’s go."

Lu Ping replied.

Not long after, Lu Ping transformed into a long rainbow and flew in the direction of the Dubhe Institute.

Dubhe Institute.

When Lu Ping arrived, Xu Dezhi was already waiting for him.

"Hahaha, Lu Daoist is here."

Seeing Lu Ping land on the plaza of the Dubhe Institute, Xu Dezhi sensed it through his Divine Sense from afar, and came forward to greet him.

This time, as he landed here again, the Dubhe Treasure Mirror in the sky also cast down a golden light, illuminating Lu Ping.

It only scanned briefly before the golden light quickly retracted.

"Lu Daoist, let’s first sit for a while in the conference hall. The other two daoists should be arriving soon."

Xu Dezhi said, "This way, please."

The two headed to the conference hall.

Inside the hall, Zhang Tianqun had been waiting for some time. Seeing Lu Ping arrive, his face beamed with a smile of joy.

"It’s our honor to have Lu Daoist join us in this endeavor. We will need your help to break through the Array Restrictions in the ruins. At that time, I’ll also pass on a Magic Technique Mantra to assist you from within."

Zhang Tianqun said slowly.

Hearing about the Magic Technique Mantra being taught, this was somewhat expected. Lu Ping was actually wondering how he could break the Restriction Array from inside if he entered that Ancient Ruin. Could it really be brute force?

That doesn’t seem feasible.

If brute force were effective, the Dubhe Institute would have broken the Restriction Array by now.

Now, after hearing Zhang Tianqun’s words, Lu Ping understood the general method.

"As for what kind of magic it is, we’ll discuss that once we reach the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Zhang Tianqun chuckled, with a hint of keeping secrets.

Lu Ping didn’t say much to this.

Next.

They were still being entertained with Spirit Fruit and Spirit Tea, and it wasn’t long before another figure entered the hall to join them.

"Liu Taixuan."

Seeing the familiar character, Liu Taixuan, Lu Ping’s gaze flickered.

"Lu Daoist, it’s been a while, you’re looking more and more spirited, much better than my old bones. Being young is great, I was much like you in my youth, but unfortunately, I’m old now."

Liu Taixuan said with a polite smile, taking a seat beside Lu Ping and asking briefly about his arrival time.

At this point, there were already four cultivators present, with one more still expected.

Regarding this fifth person, Lu Ping made some guesses in his mind.

After all, there aren’t many Nascent Soul Cultivators in Lingxi State, and even fewer who can collaborate with the Dubhe Institute.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

About half an hour later, a voice sounded from outside the hall, and a figure entered.

Their four gazes turned simultaneously to see none other than Jiuhua True Monarch.

"It’s him."

Seeing it was Jiuhua True Monarch, and among the expected candidates, Lu Ping wasn’t too surprised.

"If you hadn’t come any sooner, I was about to send a message to summon you. Everyone’s been waiting for quite a while. One might have thought something urgent delayed your journey."

Liu Taixuan teased, "You’re the last to arrive, no self-penance of three cups?"

"Hehe, self-penance, I’ll do it."

Jiuhua True Monarch chuckled faintly, glancing at the table where there was a pot of Spirit Wine.

He mobilized Magical Power to lift the Spirit Wine, just as Liu Taixuan laughed.

"No need, no need, just kidding, no need to actually self-penance three cups."

"Since everyone is here, let’s discuss the upcoming itinerary."

Liu Taixuan suggested.

"Good idea."

Zhang Tianqun responded, inviting Jiuhua True Monarch to take a seat.

The five of them then began detailed discussions about this expedition.

The Dubhe Institute is over a million miles from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. For Nascent Soul cultivators, to cross this distance, it would take at least a day.
