Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 379 - 349: 3-Star Return of the Light

The Cyan Mountain Sect controls 66% of Lushan County’s territory area, proving that the sect’s influence and control over Lushan County is gradually expanding. In the future, it will only be a matter of time before they rule the entire county, and they are bound to reach this step.

Finally, there’s the change in system messages.

From the previous type of system messages like "The Cyan Mountain Sect is making some progress, please strive to advance to a Foundation Establishment Sect" to the current "The Cyan Mountain Sect is becoming stronger, please strive to advance to a Crystal Sect."

The difference between the two is not significant, just a reminder to Lu Ping to level up the sect more often, improve the sect’s strength, and have a clear goal to strive for.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ping also remembered the Cyan Mountain Sect’s Sect Establishment Order. If he calculated the days, it’s nearing the end of the century-long protection period.

As for the sworn enemy Hengyue Sect, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators known outside amount to two, but it can’t be ruled out that there are one or two more Foundation Establishment Cultivators hidden within the Hengyue Sect.

It’s even uncertain whether the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Hengyue Sect are in secluded cultivation, attempting to break through to the Crystallization Stage.

After all, the Hengyue Sect Master has been in the Late-stage Foundation Establishment for over ten years, his talent is not lacking, being a Dual Spirit Root Cultivator. Utilizing all of Hengyue Sect’s resources to break through to the Crystallization Stage should not be a problem.

"With less than half a year, advancing Distant Mountain to the Crystallization Stage seems unlikely, unless he encounters some remarkable opportunity or stimulus to have hope."

Regarding Lu Yuanshan’s cultivation status, he’s currently at the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment. It’s quite challenging to break through to the Crystallization Stage within half a year, and secluded cultivation to break through usually requires a lot of time.

Advancing to the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment is not a big problem.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Lu Ping thought for a while, and for now, he can only let Lu Yuanshan cultivate well and aim to reach the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment first.

After all, the Hengyue Sect Master breaking through to the Crystallization Stage is just a speculation. There’s been no news recently of him attempting to break through to the Crystallization Stage.

Lu Yuanshan has been paying attention to the dynamics over at Hengyue Sect. He’s sure to be immediately informed if there’s any sign or movement.

Moreover, Lu Ping is now considered a scout himself, capable of observing the strength situation over at Hengyue Sect to detect if any Crystallization Cultivators have emerged.

Facts have proven that, currently, there aren’t any.

Located in the northeastern part of Lushan County, the Hengyue Sect shares the same county as Cyan Mountain Sect, not far from each other. Lu Ping has floated over there to observe two or three times, exploring Hengyue Sect’s internal situation.

Indeed, there are no Crystallization Cultivators.

The matters over at Hengyue Sect can be temporarily ignored.

Gazing at the system panel in silence for a moment, Lu Ping looked at the accumulated 6134 Reputation Points, deciding to do something for the sect, properly assisting the sect.

Skimming through the System Mall, not seeing any interesting items, Lu Ping decided to refresh the mall.

Spending 400 Reputation Points, Lu Ping performed 20 mall refreshes.

The items in the mall interface quickly bounced and transformed, soon yielding results.

Several Three-star items appeared, among which Lu Ping found four interesting ones.

[Three-star - Life Extension].

Seeing the item name, Lu Ping recalled the previously appeared [Two-star - Life Extension] from the mall.

That Two-star Life Extension’s effect was to increase a sect member’s lifespan by five years, with no side effects, at a redemption price of 100 Reputation Points.

Once, when Xuu Mengyuan was nearing depletion of his lifespan, Lu Ping used this item on him, increasing his lifespan by five years.

Now, calculating the days, over four years have passed, and Xuu Mengyuan’s health is probably facing the problem of lifespan depletion again...

This veteran of the Cyan Mountain Sect, guarding Guangde County diligently for twenty years and ensuring peace in the area, has indeed contributed enormously to the sect. Lu Yuanshan’s three siblings have always respected him greatly, and even Lu Ping has grown a fondness and protective sentiment toward him.

Helping where possible, the Cyan Mountain Sect certainly won’t hesitate to assist Xuu Mengyuan, hoping he can live long enough to witness the Cyan Mountain Sect’s future growth.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping clicked to view this Three-star Life Extension.

[Life Extension: Three-star]

[Effect: Increase a sect member’s lifespan by ten years, with no side effects]

[Reputation: 200]

Upon usage, one can obtain an additional ten years of life.

The price is also not expensive, requiring only 200 Reputation Points.

This is indeed a good item and can be used on Xuu Mengyuan.

Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that increase a cultivator’s lifespan circulate quite a bit in the Cultivation Realm, but they are generally expensive.

For example, a Tier Five Pill known as Lifespan Elixir, able to increase a cultivator’s lifespan by five years, is priced at ten thousand Spirit Stones per pill.

Items like spiritual treasures having better effects than Lifespan Elixirs are inevitably more expensive.

While in the System Mall, one can exchange 200 Reputation Points for ten years of life, making the cost-performance ratio very high in Lu Ping’s opinion.

Perhaps, one could extend Xuu Mengyuan’s life by another ten years.

This idea emerging, there’s no rush to use it immediately. Lu Ping’s gaze turned to another Three-star item.

[Three-star - Return of the Light].

"Return of the Light, this is..."

Seeing the item name, Lu Ping’s eyes lit up, guessing the item’s function, likely achieving an effect akin to rejuvenation, on par with the effect of the previous [Three-star - Life Extension].

This must be another good item.

Clicked to view details, the information was displayed.

[Return of the Light: Three-star]

[Effect: Limited to sect members over sixty years old, restores their physical condition to the Age of 20, regaining youthful vigor]

[Reputation: 1000]

Seeing the specific effect, Lu Ping couldn’t move his gaze for a long while.

Allowing cultivators over sixty years old to restore their body functions to the state of eighteen or nineteen years old—what concept is this?

It’s akin to rejuvenation!

To provide the simplest example: Qi Cultivators must ideally undergo Foundation Establishment before age sixty. Once surpassing sixty years old, due to lacking Qi Blood and diminishing physical functions, the effectiveness of Foundation Establishment is severely impacted.

Surpassing sixty years old, even with taking a Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate would merely be thirty percent at most.

The best years for Foundation Establishment must be before sixty.

Qi Cultivators under sixty possess abundant Qi Blood and strong Magical Power, making it easier to forge a Dao Foundation, elevate the flesh, and condense Foundation Establishment True Essence.

With this item [Three-star - Return of the Light] available, Cyan Mountain Sect members can disregard the timeline for Foundation Establishment before age sixty, choosing their ideal time to perform Foundation Establishment freely.

Now, within the Cyan Mountain Sect, who is over sixty years old and has the capacity to strive for Foundation Establishment, reaching Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation?

Lu Ping pondered slightly, the answer is only one candidate.

Cyan Mountain Sect’s Third Elder, Xuu Mengyuan!
