Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1255: Chapter 674: Spirit Treasure

A year passed in the blink of an eye. The cultivators of the Fuliu Sect knew that a new Great Cultivator had joined them. This Great Cultivator was extremely low-key, moving only between his cave and the Book Collection Pavilion every day.

On this day, Great Cultivator Mao Jing extended an invitation, and Great Cultivator Hu Shiming and Great Cultivator Luo Pei both came to visit Great Cultivator Mao Jing’s cave.

The three Great Cultivators sat down to enjoy some Spiritual Tea, without discussing business immediately.

”Senior Brother Mao, what has happened?” After waiting for a while, Great Cultivator Hu Shiming couldn’t help but ask.

”There’s news from the fifth resource point that an unidentified cultivator has appeared nearby. You know how important that resource point is; a Great Cultivator is needed to guard it for a while!” Great Cultivator Mao Jing said helplessly.

Great Cultivator Hu Shiming frowned. He had a lot on his plate recently, and if he were to go guard the fifth resource point, both his own affairs and sect matters would be delayed.

Under normal circumstances, Fuliu Sect wouldn’t face a shortage of personnel. However, the sect wasn’t content with becoming just a major sect; most Great Cultivators were out seeking opportunities.

Besides, there weren’t enough resources for the Great Cultivators of the Fuliu Sect to support seven, no, now it should be said, seven Great Cultivators for their normal cultivation. Unless a Great Cultivator doesn’t wish to advance, going out to seek resources is inevitable.

So, when the sect has issues, there aren’t enough Great Cultivators to go around.

”I’ll go!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei lifted his hand to indicate.

”Okay, this is a sect mission, and it’s good for you to settle down and accumulate contribution points!” Great Cultivator Mao Jing replied with a smile, having awaited these words.

The sect cannot assign mandatory missions to Great Cultivators. Unless it’s a matter of life and death for the sect, everything must have the Great Cultivator’s consent.

”The fifth resource point is a Great Cultivator resource point, so there’s no need to worry too much. You’re going there to deter minor threats. If a Great Cultivator does show up, inform the sect, and we’ll have our allied forces step in!” Great Cultivator Hu Shiming added.

He understood that Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s strength was lacking, something evident from the aura he emitted.

Over time, he realized that Great Cultivator Luo Pei practiced the ’Black Water Flood Sky Skill,’ a cultivation technique that barely reached top-tier level.

In the realm of Great Cultivators, ’Black Water Flood Sky Skill’ is arguably the weakest main technique.

Poor cultivation techniques lead to weak power, and coupled with the fact that Great Cultivator Luo Pei hails from a Loose Cultivator background, his foundation is equally poor.

Although Great Cultivator Luo Pei spent a year soaking in the Book Collection Pavilion, mending such a foundation is never easy.

”I’ll be careful!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei nodded.

”If there’s trouble you can’t handle, don’t force it, even if it means losing the fifth resource point!” Great Cultivator Mao Jing warned, still worried.

As long as the resource point isn’t destroyed, thanks to Fuliu Sect’s current network, taking it back won’t be difficult.

The reason for sending Great Cultivator Luo Pei was to prevent other forces from seeing the Fuliu Sect’s weakness.

Fuliu Sect can show some vulnerability, but it can’t be bullied by just any force. Otherwise, even allied forces might set their sights on Fuliu Sect’s vast estate.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei flew out of the Fuliu Sect, and with a wave of his hand, a ritual boat appeared, which he had exchanged for through his sect connections over the past year.

This time, his mission was to let other forces know that a Great Cultivator guards the fifth resource point, so using the ritual boat was necessary.

The ritual boat had cost him quite a few Fourth-grade Spirit Pills, exchanged from the shop that made the boat.

This was a large ritual flying boat, made from Fourth-grade wood materials, although wooden, it appeared with a jade-like texture.

Of course, since he exchanged for the large ritual flying boat under Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s name, the cost wasn’t exorbitant. This large ritual flying boat was mainly opulent on the outside, while the interior was simple, lacking many functions.

According to Great Cultivator Hu Shiming, once Great Cultivator Luo Pei had extra resources, he could gradually add functions to the ritual boat. For now, the existing ritual boat sufficed to show Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s status.

The large ritual flying boat bore the mark of the Fuliu Sect, and as it flew through the air, cultivators would dodge aside, those closer would even hover in the air to express their respect.

This wasn’t for the Fuliu Sect, but for paying respect to the Great Cultivator.

Only Great Cultivators are qualified to ride ritual boats, a rule of the Central State Continent, and showing enough respect for ritual boats is also a mark of respect for Great Cultivators as a group.

So, no matter how poor Great Cultivator Luo Pei appeared on the surface, for the sake of the Fuliu Sect and the dignity of a Great Cultivator, he prepared a ritual boat.

After leaving Fuliu Sect behind, Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s ritual boat turned towards the ocean.

The time prescribed by Fuliu Sect for reaching the fifth resource point had some leeway, giving him the chance to take care of some personal affairs.

The ritual boat halted on the sea’s surface, and in the engine room space, the last rune was etched onto a completely black flying sword.

Soon after, this flying sword appeared in Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s hand. It was a flying sword refined by Li Shiming, who had an innate soul connection with the Heavenly Ghost.
