CHAPTER 427: CHAPTER 397: SWORD POINTS AT LIANYUSHAN

Previously, the Cyan Bamboo Sword that each Cyan Mountain Sect disciple possessed seemed remarkable, but now it is not considered an outstanding magical artifact anymore, as the Sect’s Treasury holds even better ones.

This has led to every disciple of the Cyan Mountain Sect being equipped with a Cyan Bamboo Sword, while also carrying more powerful magical artifacts, significantly enhancing the overall strength of the sect.

Moreover, the sect missions at the Merit Hall are not only provided by Lu Ping; Lu Yuanshan also sends disciples to roam the Lushan County area.

If they encounter problems like demon beasts causing trouble or demon cultivators creating chaos, these would be recorded. If they can be resolved, they would arrange for disciples to solve them, counting as sect missions.

"As of now, the sect temporarily does not lack magical artifacts, so I will allocate more time to cultivation in the coming period."

"Achieving the Crystallization Stage early is also beneficial for progressing towards becoming a Tier Four Refiner."

Lu Zhiwei revealed her future plans.

Lu Yuanshan manages the Sect’s Treasury and is well aware of how many magical artifacts, elixirs, etc., are contained within.

Now, hearing Lu Zhiwei speak, he roughly calculated the sect’s collection of magical artifacts, totaling around one hundred to one hundred twenty pieces, enough for disciples to exchange.

"Father means he also wishes for us to advance to the Crystallization Stage as soon as possible."

"Little sister, rest assured and practice; one of the secluded cultivation caves still has a disciple using it, while another is vacant, perfect for your cultivation."

"Okay."

After a brief conversation with Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei began retreating into the cultivation cave mansion to practice that very afternoon.

Song Minghui, before Lu Zhiwei’s seclusion, obtained a book of artifact refining insights from her. Through this book, Song Minghui can self-learn for a long period.

Some of the sect’s basic Tier One Spiritual Artifact refining can now be entrusted to Song Minghui.

On the second day of Lu Zhiwei’s seclusion, a figure piloted the Blazing Heaven Sword, directly flying out of Cyan Lotus Mountain towards the northwest region of Lushan County.

Lu Changfeng set off to Lianyushan to eliminate the demon beasts there.

At his flying speed, he quickly reached Lianyushan.

Lu Ping, noticing Lu Changfeng’s icon on the system map, had already reached Lianyushan, spending 5 Reputation Points to activate [Instant Transmission], arriving beside Lu Changfeng.

"Go to the south side of Lianyushan."

Lu Ping sent a communication; the area where the demon beasts appear is in the southern area of Lianyushan. It’s necessary to narrow the search range, to avoid wandering blindly.

"Father, why are you here as well?"

Hearing Lu Ping’s voice, Lu Changfeng was stunned but secretly delighted.

Father is concerned for his safety.

"I’m rather free, so I came to take a look."

Lu Ping spoke indifferently.

"Listen, the villagers of Shilin Village in the south recently witnessed the tracks of that demon beast. You might first visit Shilin Village to inquire, saving some time."

Lu Ping provided guidance.

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng wondered, since his father had discovered the presence of demon beasts in this area, why not take action himself to slay them?

But recalling his father’s usual behavior, he had never acted personally, so this time was no different.

"Alright, I’ll fly over to take a look."

Lu Changfeng maneuvered his flying sword towards the south of Lianyushan, in the direction of Shilin Village.

Lu Ping couldn’t keep up with the speed, so he floated slowly behind.

When Lu Ping arrived within Shilin Village, he found Lu Changfeng conversing with several villagers.

"Immortal Master, that demon beast is still active in the mountains."

"Yesterday, Ah Mann from Zhang’s family at the village entrance was hunting in the mountains and saw the demon beast fighting with another great demon from afar. Ah Mann was so terrified he secretly ran back, nearly losing his life there!"

"Ah Mann, Ah Mann."

A burly man was speaking and shouting towards the village entrance.

A young boy with braids and bronze skin emerged from a household, coming before the group.

"Ah Mann, this is someone from..."

Although Lu Changfeng had just introduced his origin, the burly man could not recall where Lu Changfeng was from at the moment.

"Cyan Mountain Sect!"

Lu Changfeng reminded.

"Yes, yes! This person is from the Cyan Mountain Sect, who came to vanquish the demons for us."

"Ah Mann, you should explain everything you saw about that demon beast yesterday to this Immortal Master."

Knowing Lu Changfeng is a sect cultivator, Ah Mann couldn’t help but take another look at Lu Changfeng with a solemn expression, and began his account.

Lu Ping and Lu Changfeng listened quietly.

Lu Changfeng occasionally asked a question, quickly grasping the situation of the demon beast.

According to Ah Mann, the demon beast was a falcon demon beast, though he couldn’t recognize the specific variety.

When he saw it, the demon beast was preying on a black bear. It was only while the beast had another target that he managed to escape back to Shilin Village.

Now, he dared not set foot in Lianyushan for fear of meeting that falcon demon beast and losing his life in vain.

"Falcon-like demon beasts have a wide range of activities."

Lu Changfeng furrowed his brow slightly. "If it attacks you, it would be like eagles catching little chicks, and you have no chance of resisting."

"Yes, indeed!"

"Immortal Master, please help us! We ordinary folks can’t possibly be a match for that great demon."

"Yes, we beg you, Immortal Master."

Lu Changfeng’s appearance was like a lifeline for these villagers, exciting them as they continuously requested him to eliminate the demon.

Shilin Village has been sustained by hunting. Now with a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast in Lianyushan, villagers’ means of livelihood are completely cut off.

Knowing a great demon inhabits the mountain, who would dare to hunt again?

"All right, all right, I’ve come to eliminate the demon. I won’t leave until it’s dealt with."

Seeing no need to hear more from the villagers, Lu Changfeng left behind these words, mounted the Blazing Heaven Sword, and headed towards Lianyushan.

"I’m going now! I’ll vanquish that great demon for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changfeng soared skyward, rapidly becoming a small black dot vanishing into the distance in the villagers’ sight.

Lu Ping glanced a few times and then moved to follow Lu Changfeng.

"Do you think this Immortal Master from the sect can handle that great demon?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Ah Mann shook his head uncertainly. "Hard to say, that demon beast is not easy to handle. Think about those previous family members; they all claimed to be formidable, almost looking down on others."

"But what happened later? They were scared off by the demon beast, not daring even to say a word."

"Alas, this time too, this Immortal Master might just get scared away."
