The atmosphere remained unsettled for a long time after learning about the astonishing effects of the Cultivation Cave Mansion.
Apart from Lu Yuanshan and his two siblings, who knew that Lu Ping had awakened, as well as She Qingqing and Xuu Yi, the other disciples gradually had another thought emerge in their minds.
Who was the one communicating in their minds just now?
Lu Ping didn’t bother to explain who he was, nor was he inclined to do so; he simply mentioned the matter of the Cultivation Cave Mansion briefly.
Whether the disciples believed it or not did not concern Lu Ping too much, for it wasn’t the time to promote this cave mansion as a cultivation site for the disciples.
The purpose of building this cave mansion was for Lu Ping to focus on nurturing a few individuals like Zhang Nianchuan and Song Minghui, who were late-stage Qi Cultivation disciples.
Including Lu Changfeng, he hoped they could early touch the brink of Foundation Establishment, fostering new Foundation Establishment Cultivators for the sect as soon as possible.
For the later expansion of such cave mansions, it largely relied on system refresh for acquisition.
"Give it a try, you’ll only realize its effectiveness through personal experience. After trying, you can let Song Minghui, Zhang Nianchuan, and some other late-stage Qi Cultivation disciples try it too, so they can know that Cyan Mountain Sect has such a place for cultivation,"
Lu Yuanshan nodded and was the first to enter the Cultivation Cave Mansion, attempting to cultivate under Lu Ping’s guidance.
An hour later, he emerged once more, his face brimming with great surprise and excitement, genuinely experiencing the benefits of accelerated cultivation.
This cave mansion is exceptional; he hadn’t expected father to have such astounding divine techniques!
"Father, such a cave mansion can only accommodate one person at a time; why not construct a few more?"
"Build one first, there will be more in the future."
With that, the father and son ended their conversation.
Subsequently, Lu Changfeng, Lu Zhiwei, and even Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan also went in for a try.
When they emerged with the same expressions of amazement and excitement, they couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at how Cyan Mountain Sect was becoming more and more miraculous, wondering what greater things would come in the future.
The Cyan Mountain Sect surely wasn’t simple.
If more of these cultivation cave mansions were built in the future following this trajectory, the disciples’ motivation, and even their strength, would spike rapidly.
This was certainly a good thing.
The matter of the Cultivation Cave Mansion came to a close, and that day, Lu Changfeng entered therein, undertaking months of secluded cultivation to consolidate his Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation in preparation for Foundation Establishment.
During this time, Lu Ping spoke of the Doorway Affairs regarding capturing White Jade Bees and mentioned to Lu Zhiwei about Lu Xuelian’s lack of a magical artifact.
Lu Zhiwei was instructed to retrieve a piece of Cyan Jade Bamboo and forge a Cyan Bamboo Sword to gift to Lu Xuelian.
Coincidentally, following the overseeing and nurturing of the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, Lu Xuelian had improved from her initial half-baked Beast Tamer state.
She was now a Tier One Lower-Grade Beast Tamer, and this time the task of catching the White Jade Bees could be led by her.
Though it seemed like mere bee-catching, there were numerous intricacies involved.
The White Jade Bees were wild in nature; capturing them with force would only scatter the Spirit Bees, making them even harder to capture.
Moreover, within this group of White Jade Bees, there was a White Jade Bee King with power equivalent to Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
The White Jade Bee King’s stinger, at its tail, carried a paralyzing toxin. Once stung, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would fall into paralysis, unable to channel magical power to cast spells, akin to a mortal.
The White Jade Honey could also self-progress in the future, stepping into the Tier Two Spirit Insect category.
To capture and safely bring the White Jade Bee group back for cultivation and breeding in the sect was no simple task.
While Lu Zhiwei was crafting the Cyan Bamboo Sword for Lu Xuelian, over at Yanyang Lake, holding the Crescent Pill gifted by Chu Qin, Lu Xuelian deliberated for a long time before deciding to return it to Chu Qin.
Upon finding Chu Qin, however, she was refused.
"Once this Crescent Pill was given to you, it became yours. Use it for refinement; you need it greatly."
"If you feel this gift is too precious, you can give me an elixir in return once you have the capability in the future. We can reciprocate gifts."
Chu Qin said nothing more, firmly refusing to take it back.
Seeing Chu Qin’s rare determination, Lu Xuelian ceased insisting.
Lu Xuelian began her secluded cultivation from the previous evening, temporarily passing the task of overseeing the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish to her junior sister, Liiu Shiyao.
Liiu Shiyao was currently at Second-Layer Qi Cultivation, not very gifted, having Water, Earth, and Wood Three Spirit Roots, but she had some talent for beast taming.
Having supervised the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish alongside Lu Xuelian for over a year, she had learned some knowledge and understood the Spirit Fish’s life habits, so there was nothing to worry about.
According to Lu Ping’s instructions, Lu Yuanshan went looking for Lu Xuelian once.
Finding nothing, when he reached Yanyang Lake and spoke to Liiu Shiyao, he found out that Lu Xuelian was in secluded cultivation.
"According to Senior Sister Lu, she is going into seclusion using the Crescent Pill to try to break through to Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation; she should come out in a few days."
Before Lu Yuanshan, Liiu Shiyao felt a bit nervous, thinking he was there to inspect her care of the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish and worried she might not have done well, leading to scolding from the sect leader.
Upon learning Lu Yuanshan was looking for Lu Xuelian, she silently breathed a sigh of relief.
She then mumbled to herself.
The fish are well taken care of; why am I nervous?
Thinking this inwardly, she appeared very respectful.
"Then I’ll come back in a few days; please continue to supervise the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish for now."
It only took three days for Lu Xuelian to emerge from her secluded cultivation.
With the Crescent Pill from Chu Qin, she successfully broke through to Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Her heart was very pleased, not having wasted the Crescent Pill.
That day she went to find Chu Qin to share her breakthrough joy with him.
Chu Qin, upon hearing this, was naturally very happy.
After being invited by Chu Qin to visit Yanyang Lake, taking a stroll by the lakeside and having some fun, Lu Yuanshan heard of Lu Xuelian’s emergence and headed to Yanyang Lake once more.
"Congratulations on advancing your cultivation,"
Noticing Lu Xuelian had progressed in her cultivation, Lu Yuanshan was sincerely happy for her and soon brought up the matter of the White Jade Bees.
"The sect recently discovered a wild group of White Jade Bees in a place called Hundred Flowers Valley located on the east bank of Lingxi, north of Lushan County."
"The White Jade Bees are rare among Tier Two Spirit Insects and are very beneficial to cultivators. I intend to capture this group back to the sect for breeding and training, to produce White Jade Honey and refine Jade Bee Pills in the future."
Lu Xuelian murmured, being somewhat familiar with this Spirit Insect.
However, these Spirit Insects were difficult to domesticate, and she, as a Tier One Lower-Grade Beast Tamer, had no confidence in successfully capturing the White Jade Bees.
"Sect Leader, how powerful is this group of White Jade Bees? I need to plan out some strategies."
"Even if they are captured and brought back to the sect, I need to ponder deeply about how to properly breed these White Jade Bees. There are still many areas I need to learn about."
Lu Xuelian wasn’t very confident.
Lu Yuanshan informed Lu Xuelian of the details about the White Jade Bees. After pondering, he took out a scroll from his storage bag.
"I almost forgot about this."
"Chu Kingdom Spirit Insect Breeding Method."
