Time flew by, and in the medicinal garden, the planted Cyan Jade Bamboo was ready for harvest.
Since Lu Ping intervened and used a form of resource optimization, enhancing the Cyan Jade Bamboo to Tier Two Lower Grade, this matured batch of Cyan Jade Bamboo reached this level.
"This batch of Cyan Jade Bamboo is far higher in quality than previous ones, all reaching Tier Two Lower Grade—it’s truly marvelous!"
In the medicinal garden, Lu Yuanshan came to inspect when he heard the Cyan Jade Bamboo had matured, and he was amazed for quite a while upon learning of their quality.
She Qingqing nodded repeatedly and said, "Only a very few Heaven and Earth Spirit Essences will self-evolve to enhance their grade due to environmental influences; such spirit plants are extremely rare."
"Cyan Jade Bamboo isn’t particularly rare in the market, yet I don’t know what happened that it could evolve to Tier Two Lower Grade."
She Qingqing naturally took care of the Cyan Jade Bamboo.
This batch of Cyan Jade Bamboo was originally collected when she followed Lu Changfeng to Black Mountain to slay the Purple Spot Demon Wolf guarding the Cyan Jade Bamboo and brought them back to the sect for transplantation, leaving a deep impression.
Now, years have passed, and the Cyan Jade Bamboo has already produced numerous Cyan Bamboo Swords for the Cyan Mountain Sect.
At this moment, with the level of Cyan Jade Bamboo elevating, the grade of produced Cyan Bamboo Swords will be higher.
By then, all disciples of Cyan Mountain Sect will be able to acquire Tier Two Cyan Bamboo Swords!
The gap between Tier One Spiritual Artifacts, even those of Tier One Top-Grade, and Tier Two Lower Grade is extraordinarily large.
Hearing She Qingqing’s remarks, Lu Yuanshan nodded in agreement and contemplated a little.
He speculated that the change in level of this Cyan Jade Bamboo might be his father’s doing.
All the divine techniques Lu Ping has demonstrated over the years, Lu Yuanshan had grown accustomed to.
Whenever something unusual happens in the Cyan Mountain Sect that benefits its growth and strengthening, it’s almost always Lu Ping’s intervention.
"Cyan Jade Bamboo over a thousand years old has the chance to mutate into higher-grade Cyan Thunder Bamboo."
"Cyan Thunder Bamboo can release light cyan Cyan Cloud Divine Thunder, effectively countering demon cultivators and demons, quite similar to Exorcism Divine Thunder."
She Qingqing slowly spoke, gazing at the advanced Cyan Jade Bamboo with expectancy in her eyes.
"Sect Leader, maybe as the Cyan Mountain Sect continues its legacy, these Cyan Jade Bamboo will eventually advance to Cyan Thunder Bamboo."
These words, She Qingqing just mentioned casually as a beautiful hope.
"It definitely will."
Lu Yuanshan, deep in thought, said nothing, but in his heart, he was secretly confident.
The development of the Cyan Mountain Sect is getting better and better, and perhaps in the future, it truly can be anticipated.
When the Cyan Jade Bamboo ascends to Cyan Thunder Bamboo, it might not just be a fantasy.
Finally, the two of them counted the amount of the Cyan Jade Bamboo, finding there were a total of sixteen mature Cyan Jade Bamboo.
If all these mature Cyan Jade Bamboos were refined into Cyan Bamboo Swords, it would be enough to equip all the sect disciples.
Once all the sect’s disciples are equipped with Tier Two Cyan Bamboo Swords, the overall strength of Cyan Mountain Sect will gain a massive upgrade.
The task of refining the Cyan Bamboo Swords was entrusted to Lu Zhiwei on that day.
Lu Zhiwei’s current mastery in artifact refining had reached Tier Two High-Grade, making it easy to refine Tier Two Lower Grade Cyan Bamboo Swords.
After just three days of secluded artifact refining, thirty Cyan Bamboo Swords were successfully produced.
For this, Lu Yuanshan specially convened a sect meeting.
At the meeting, he distributed a Tier Two Cyan Bamboo Sword to each disciple.
Receiving Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, and free provision from the sect, Liiu Shiyao and others were all smiles, ecstatic beyond words.
Having followed Cyan Mountain Sect for so many years, the benefits and treatment have been improving.
The sect is getting better by the day, with a promising future ahead.
It was no longer that small, impoverished sect teetering on the brink of extinction.
"Changfeng, Zhiwei, you two stay behind."
After the meeting ended, and the disciples dispersed, Lu Changfeng specifically asked Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei to stay.
"Changfeng, you have reached Qi Cultivation Stage Great Perfection for over two years now and have already grasped the threshold of Foundation Establishment."
Lu Changfeng nodded and asked, "Elder brother, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Lu Zhiwei also turned her gaze towards Lu Yuanshan; she vaguely guessed something.
Given Lu Yuanshan’s way of conducting himself, it certainly wouldn’t be a casual question.
After all, everyone can see Lu Changfeng’s cultivation; who wouldn’t know?
The matter Lu Yuanshan was about to discuss next was likely related to Lu Changfeng’s Foundation Establishment.
"The reason for keeping you back is to inform you of an important matter that could benefit you."
With a solemn expression, Lu Yuanshan slowly said.
"According to recent reports, Ancestor Jiang of Nine Cold Mountain will hold a Trade Conference at Celestial South Market in the next three months."
"At the Trade Conference, some Foundation Pills are expected to appear." Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI~Fire.net
The Trading Gathering held by cultivators is where individuals bring various exotic treasures and rare items for equivalent exchanges.
Like exchanging a flying sword spiritual artifact of the same tier for a defensive spiritual artifact.
Of course, using equivalent value Spirit Stones as an exchange is also possible, only requiring equal value.
"Elder brother, is your information reliable? That Nine Cold Mountain can actually provide Foundation Pills."
Upon hearing about the Foundation Pill, Lu Changfeng’s eyes brightened, and his heart was truly stirred.
He had long wanted to reach Foundation Establishment, but had been stymied by the lack of Foundation Pills.
Yet upon further thought, Nine Cold Mountain is a holy land for loose cultivators within Chu Kingdom, housing many scattered cultivators. Obtaining a Foundation Pill there might be challenging.
The allure of a Foundation Pill to a loose cultivator is unimaginable.
"The information is naturally reliable; rest assured of that, otherwise, why would I tell you."
Lu Yuanshan, with a serious expression, continued.
"Nine Cold Mountain is founded by Ancestor Jiang, under his influence. Ancestor Jiang is not only fair and upright but also possesses profound cultivation, having reached Golden Core Stage for over a hundred years and is an old acquaintance of father. If we want to obtain a Foundation Pill from there, it shouldn’t be too hard."
Nine Cold Mountain is situated in the western part of Chu Kingdom, near the Southern Wilderness forest.
It was established by one of the few Golden Core Ancestors in Chu Kingdom, Ancestor Jiang, a loose cultivator.
Mentioning Ancestor Jiang, he is a legendary figure in the cultivation realm of Chu Kingdom.
With a background as a loose cultivator and without relying on sect or family support, he managed to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage, ranking as one of the few Golden Core Ancestors in Chu Kingdom, showcasing his talent and ability.
Initially, Nine Cold Mountain was just a Cultivation Market for practitioners from various places to engage in trade.
After Ancestor Jiang occupied this market over a hundred years ago, he governed and regulated it, making it increasingly prosperous and thriving, becoming the largest cultivation market in Chu Kingdom to this day.
Celestial South Market, gathering loose cultivators from various regions, includes many Foundation Establishment independent cultivators and Crystallization loose cultivators following Ancestor Jiang.
