Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 407 - 377 Pingyang Town Demon Beast

Regarding the matter of cultivating Crystallization Cultivators for the Sect, Lu Ping and Lu Yuanshan discussed for a while.

The Sect’s short-term development direction is very clear.

We must strive towards nurturing Crystallization Cultivators.

As for the Sect’s economy, it’s improving more and more, and naturally, we won’t neglect the economic development of the Sect.

These points were discussed by the father and son.

...

After leaving the back mountain Cave Mansion, Lu Yuanshan controlled the Flying Sword and flew towards the location of the Sect Hall.

Before he could land, he saw a figure pacing back and forth outside the Sect Hall.

Lu Yuanshan focused his gaze and it was none other than the Zhang Family’s Clan Leader, Zhang Deming.

"Elder Zhang, looking for me?"

Seeing Zhang Deming appear at this time, Lu Yuanshan guessed that Zhang Deming probably had something to discuss, and landed the Flying Sword in front of Zhang Deming.

"Sect Leader Lu."

Seeing Lu Yuanshan appear, Zhang Deming immediately greeted him with a smile.

Lu Yuanshan nodded slightly, only to hear Zhang Deming continue.

"Haha, my little thoughts still can’t escape Sect Leader Lu’s sharp eyes."

Zhang Deming laughed heartily: "Indeed, I have something to discuss with Sect Leader Lu."

"Hmm, Elder Zhang, please come inside, let’s discuss it in detail."

Lu Yuanshan said.

"Good."

The two entered the hall and sat down.

Zhang Deming did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"Sect Leader Lu, this time I’m looking for you regarding the matter of our Zhang Family’s triennial Spirit Root testing for the family juniors..."

Zhang Deming said slowly.

Lu Yuanshan listened quietly, and soon understood Zhang Deming’s intention.

It turned out, ever since the Zhang Family initially relocated their clan territory to the Little Cold Mountain Spirit Vein, and later invested in the cultivation of Spirit Fields, the remaining Spirit Stone reserves of the family soon dwindled.

Due to the current economic downturn of the Zhang Family, the daily expenditure of Spirit Stones is substantial, having to supply cultivation for eighteen family Cultivators, which leads to the problem of Spirit Stone scarcity.

Zhang Deming, as the Clan Leader, is also gritting his teeth while cultivating, and rarely dares to spend Spirit Stones on cultivation.

The Zhang Family’s economy expects an improvement at least after a year, when the Spirit Field matures and yields profits.

Therefore, based on the current situation of the Zhang Family, if a child with Spirit Root Talent is detected, the Zhang Family won’t have excess resources for cultivation in the short term.

Zhang Deming hopes that those children can be sent to the Cyan Mountain Sect for cultivation, becoming disciples of the Cyan Mountain Sect, thereby strengthening the relationship with the Cyan Mountain Sect while also enabling the Zhang Family children to access better cultivation resources, so their talents won’t be wasted.

"I wonder what Sect Leader Lu thinks of this?"

After speaking, Zhang Deming waited for Lu Yuanshan’s response.

Upon learning Zhang Deming’s thoughts, Lu Yuanshan pondered for a moment.

"Let the Zhang Family children join my Cyan Mountain Sect for cultivation; this matter is simple."

Lu Yuanshan smiled lightly: "Our Cyan Mountain Sect should also recruit some fresh blood. Since Elder Zhang has this intention, let’s proceed as such."

"Hahaha, Sect Leader Lu is straightforward!"

The two thus reached a consensus.

Lu Yuanshan also proposed to send a Cyan Mountain Sect disciple to accompany the Zhang Family Cultivators to complete the Spirit Root testing.

The next day.

Two figures departed from the Cyan Mountain Sect under the watchful eyes of Zhang Deming and Lu Yuanshan, heading towards Lingxi.

The Cultivator dispatched by the Zhang Family was a young Cultivator named Zhang Zhiwen, with his strength at the Second-Layer Qi Cultivation.

From the Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Yuanshan dispatched Chu Qin.

Chu Qin’s strength has now reached the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Their destination was a town called Pingyang Town.

Pingyang Town is a town where the Zhang Family mortals live, numbering over ten thousand people here.

Pingyang Town is located more than four hundred miles away from Cyan Lotus Mountain and needs to cross Lingxi on the way.

Chu Qin and Zhang Zhiwen traveled tirelessly, and after crossing Lingxi, they suddenly discovered a signal smoke rising in the direction of Pingyang Town.

Signal smoke is the means of communication set up by the Zhang Family in Pingyang Town.

With the signal smoke rising, there can only be one situation.

A Demon Beast or a Demon Cultivator appeared in Pingyang Town.

To differentiate what this signal smoke means, Pingyang Town distinguishes the smoke by quantity.

One signal smoke represents the strength of the Demon Beast or Demon Cultivator being Tier One.

Tier One corresponds to the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Two signal smokes represent the invasion by Tier Two Demon Beast or Demon Cultivator.

As for three or four signal smokes, Pingyang Town has never seen them.

Tier Two enemies have also never appeared.

"This is... our Zhang Family’s communication smoke!"

Zhang Zhiwen’s sharp gaze saw a signal smoke rising from afar, and a grave expression appeared on his face.

"One signal smoke; there might be a Tier One Demon Beast or a Qi Cultivation Stage Demon Cultivator in the town!"

In Pingyang Town, Zhang Family Cultivators naturally reside year-round, capable of distinguishing the approximate strength of intruders.

Those who emit the signal smoke are also Zhang Family Cultivators stationed in Pingyang Town.

"Zhang Dao You, since there’s trouble in Pingyang Town, we should hurry over to see if we can assist promptly."

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen’s solemn look, worried for his kin in Pingyang Town, Chu Qin suggested.

Pingyang Town’s importance to the Zhang Family is akin to Guangde County’s significance to the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Chu Qin acknowledged the pros and cons and refused to ignore it.

Furthermore, he had to follow Sect Leader’s command; if Zhang Family children with Spirit Roots were found in Pingyang Town, they must be safely brought back to Cyan Mountain Sect.

"Chu Daoist’s suggestion is spot-on!"

Zhang Zhiwen nodded heavily and promptly activated the Light Body Technique.

"Chu Daoist, kindly follow me."

"Of course."

With that, Chu Qin also immediately activated the Light Body Technique and followed Zhang Zhiwen’s footsteps, quickly heading towards Pingyang Town.

Upon reaching the entrance of the town, they saw several figures standing atop the town wall, maintaining the signal smoke rise.

The leading figure, a middle-aged Cultivator from the Zhang Family, was named Zhang Mengqing.

He was older than Zhang Zhiwen by over twenty years, from the seniority perspective, he was Zhang Zhiwen’s sixth uncle.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen and Chu Qin arrive, Zhang Mengqing’s eyes lit up and immediately greeted them: "Nephew, you’ve come just in time. Our town currently has a Demon Beast causing trouble, requiring immediate cleanup."

After speaking, Zhang Mengqing’s gaze fell on Chu Qin and quickly scanned him, nodding as a sign of greeting.

"Nephew, hurry and follow me; this matter must not be delayed."

"Yes, Sixth Uncle, please lead the way!"

Zhang Zhiwen responded: "Let’s go over and take a look first."

Zhang Mengqing moved swiftly, leading Zhang Zhiwen and Chu Qin through several streets in the town and finally slowed down upon reaching a large courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, some soldiers were guarding, each with a stern expression, and some even had a look of nervousness due to the fear of the Demon Beast inside.
