The current situation of the sect is indeed very difficult.
The lack of spiritual stones is a big problem. Even in the previous meeting, it was decided that the sect would stop paying the disciples' salaries for the next three years, allowing the disciples to tighten their belts to live.
But there are not many spiritual stones saved. Once invested in the three major industries, there will be no way to open up other industries for profit, and the sect will still have to survive hard.
Another big problem is the strength of the sect.
Qi training, foundation building, crystallization, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, etc. These realms become more and more difficult the further you go.
Golden Core Stage monks have ceiling-level combat power in the Chu Kingdom and are already among the top group of strong men.
Even so, the number of Jindan monks in Chu is still very small, and most of them have gone to other continents where the world is wider and the resources are better.
The Jindan monks who stayed in the Chu Kingdom were either the leader of a sect, or they were unwilling to leave. Lu Ping belonged to the former group because of his sect ties.
The current strength situation within the Qingshan Sect, there is still no foundation building, crystallization monk, and the one with the highest level of cultivation can only practice the ninth level of Qi.
With this little strength, let alone the Chu State, it is so small that if you look at Lushan County, the Qingshan Sect is obviously not enough and has no right to speak at all.
If it weren't for the protection of Tianshu Yuan, it would have been annexed by other forces long ago.
Lu Ping calculated in his mind that on the basis of making money through open source, the sect must work hard to cultivate a foundation-building monk in the next ten years, that is, before the end of the century-old asylum period.
Compared with the crystallization stage, cultivation in the foundation stage is much more realistic and relatively easy.
Having foundation-building monks is the foundation for the Qingshan Sect to establish a foothold in Lushan County. The Qingshan Sect will not be able to protect itself after losing the protection of Tianshu Academy after the one-hundred-year asylum period.
But what Lu Ping is most concerned about is actually more than this.
He thought of another thing that was not very friendly to the sect.
A sect that is founded with a sect founding order and protected by the Tianshu Yuan will receive a call from the Tianshu Yuan after nearly a hundred years.
The content of the recruitment may be to resist the chaos of monsters or to eradicate the demon sect's stronghold. The difficulty is not low.
The last time Tianshu Academy summoned sects for action, it was because an unprecedented water monster rebellion broke out in Qinglihai. A large number of water monsters landed in coastal counties and attacked monks and people.
That year, Lu Ping witnessed with his own eyes several major sects in Lingxi Prefecture were summoned to jointly enter the three coastal counties to resist the invasion of water monsters. An extremely brutal battle broke out. Even several foundation-building monks were killed, and most of the Qi-training monks were lost.
.
The process of resisting the water monster is extremely difficult for several major sects.
Now, there are only ten years left before the century-old asylum period, and we don’t know what kind of tasks Tianshu Yuan will recruit the Qingshan Sect to perform in ten years, and whether the Qingshan Sect will be able to survive by then.
The recruitment ten years later made Lu Ping very worried, worried that the sect would be unable to bear it. If water monsters land and invade again, the Qingshan sect will definitely not be able to withstand it.
From this point of view, it is also particularly important to revitalize the sect's strength.
However, there is no need to rush, the disciple's strength needs to be improved step by step, step by step.
Let’s solve the sect’s economic problems first. It’s impossible to become fat in one bite.
"Dad, today I convened a meeting of disciples to decide the future direction of the sect. I will tell you what I want to say..."
Having almost said everything that needed to be said, Lu Yuanshan finally took the initiative to bring up the matter of the conference and explained the situation.
Even though Lu Ping witnessed the whole process, he did not interrupt and listened quietly before speaking.
"The path is chosen by the disciples. Just follow this path. The sect also needs the protection of Tianshu Yuan. When you should be patient, you have to be patient."
Having lived with Lu Ping for more than twenty years, this is not the first time Lu Yuanshan has heard the word "gou".
In addition, I also heard "cheating", "involution", "Versailles", etc.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he roughly understood what "gou" meant.
Lu Ping did not delve too deeply into the matter of the conference and comforted him slightly: "Well, now that I have shown up, I will not remain indifferent to the future development of the sect."
"I will give you appropriate instructions and guide you to solve some difficulties."
Now that the system is in place, the development of Qingshan Sect will not be too difficult in the future, and obtaining some foundation-building pills will not be a problem.
He is confident that the Qingshan Sect will be restored to its former glory and become the top immortal cultivation sect.
As long as he is given time, it is not impossible to even surpass Tianshu Academy.
In short, as long as he is there, the Qingshan Sect will be there.
Of course, Lu Ping only thought about these words in his heart and would not say them out loud.
His father regained consciousness and was able to guide the sect forward. Lu Yuanshan felt that the pressure was much less, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Everyone in the sect will listen to father's instructions."
"Um."
Lu Ping nodded, opened the system mall, and mentioned another matter.
"One more thing. My father has collected some spiritual peach tree saplings here. Although they are at the first level, as long as they are planted, they can always bring some benefits to the sect."
When Lu Yuanshan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Over the years, he has been looking for a way out for the sect and trying to find ways to increase revenue. If he can plant spiritual peach trees, the sect will be able to generate additional income.
With one more income, the pressure on the sect’s funds will be less.
To be fair, Lu Yuanshan was under a lot of pressure to invest in the three major industries with the help of his disciples' three-year salary, and was worried that there would not be much improvement if he invested the funds in the three major industries.
The presence of the spiritual peach tree is undoubtedly a timely help.
Just as he was thinking whether to wait for his father to open the restriction and enter the cave to get it, his father came out with the spiritual peach tree. The next moment, a cluster of things appeared in front of him.
Things turned from virtual to real and were neatly arranged on the ground.
Lu Yuanshan took a closer look, what was it if it wasn't a spiritual peach tree?
There are a total of three peach tree saplings, about the height of a person, lush and green, with soil at their roots, as if they had just been dug out of the soil, and they are very fresh.
"I'll leave the planting of the spiritual peach tree to you."
Lu Ping's voice sounded: "I hope it can open up the sect and add a new industry."
The appearance of the spiritual peach tree is naturally Lu Ping's masterpiece.
The whole process was very simple. He just came outside the cave and materialized the spiritual peach tree, achieving an effect similar to retrieving items from a storage bag. It was not unusual.
"Okay, Father."
Lu Yuanshan responded and carefully put the three peach trees into the storage bag.
This is a treasure that can earn spiritual stones. He still knows how much the spiritual peach tree is worth.
When the instructions were given to plant the spiritual peach trees, Lu Ping did not forget to give him a warning.
"As the head of the sect, you still have to take more responsibility for the affairs of the sect, but don't put too much pressure on it. Your cultivation progress cannot be slowed down."
Lu Yuanshan's current strength is at the ninth level of Qi training. If he works hard, he can hopefully reach the foundation building stage.
Of course, this requires a foundation-building pill. Lu Ping does not want him to blindly build a foundation. That would be too risky and not worth taking.
"Dad, among the major sects in the Chu Kingdom, the Qingshan Sect is the weakest."
"My child also wants to work hard, but the sect lacks resources and cannot be replenished in a short time..."
Lu Yuanshan felt a little guilty.
When his father handed the sect into his own hands, the Qingshan Sect had a strong foundation in Lushan County and was at the top. Even looking at Chu State, the Qingshan Sect definitely had the highest say.
But looking at it now...it's really hard to describe.
"Okay, there's no need to say more."
Lu Ping interrupted Lu Yuanshan.
"Everything still belongs to me. The sect still needs to take steps one step at a time, take it slow, as long as we are making progress."
After saying this, Lu Ping's mind turned to Lu Zhiwei.
"Is Zhiwei in the sect?"
In the personal attributes of the sect members, Lu Ping could see Lu Zhiwei's location information, which was displayed as Qinglian Mountain. Due to the concealment system, he still asked.
"My little sister has always been in the sect."
"In the past few days, please ask her to come to my cave. I have something to say to her."
Thinking of Lu Zhiwei's health condition, Lu Ping felt that he had to give his daughter some guidance as soon as possible. She was a beloved daughter and could not be really depressed.
The ninth-level Qi-training monks are very important to the sect and are the mainstay.
"My child understands."
"Yeah." Lu Ping nodded lightly and gave the final explanation.
"Don't tell anyone about my waking up yet."
"Over there at Changfeng..."
Lu Yuanshan thought of his second brother, Lu Changfeng.
"Changfeng has always been talkative and can't keep secrets, so there's no need to tell him for the time being."
Lu Ping still wanted to keep the matter of waking up as a secret as much as possible. Now he is only a conscious body and cannot display his strength. If enemies come to make trouble, it will be difficult.
It's always right to be more low-key.
"My child understands."
"Back off."
Lu Yuanshan stopped staying. After bowing, he left.
Along the way, Lu Yuanshan secretly touched the storage bag, thinking about the spiritual peach tree inside, and then thinking that Lu Ping, the ancestor of Jindan, had woken up. Lu Yuanshan couldn't help but start to yearn that the Qingshan Sect could be saved.
The future of the sect is promising. This chapter has been completed!
