Silverhorn Mountain
The Sunset Glow Sect occupies Brocade Cloud Peak, but it occupies more than just that one place.
Centered on Brocade Cloud Peak, the surrounding mountains, rich in Spiritual Qi, spanning thousands of miles, are all properties owned by the Sunset Glow Sect. Some have been occupied by elders who have established cave abode, while others have been developed into medicinal gardens, animal enclosures, and other businesses.
East of the Gathering Cloud Mountains, between the Weeping Marsh and six other cities, whose millions of inhabitants are also under the control of the Sunset Glow Sect.
Manage your city and defend against Demon Beast.
The food rations of the disciples of the Sunset Glow Sect are supported by the tax revenue of the six cities, which is the foundation of the Sunset Glow Sect.
The mountains and six cities, with Brocade Cloud Peak as the core, constitute the entire Sunset Glow Sect.
Lu Qingfeng did not choose to open cave abode on Brocade Cloud Peak, nor did he go to the noisy places of the Six Cities.
Brocade Cloud Peak has the richest Spiritual Qi, but it has many disciples, and most elders also choose to establish their cave abode on Brocade Cloud Peak.
Lu Qingfeng prefers quiet, but his Cultivation Method are quite noisy, inevitably attracting attention on Brocade Cloud Peak.
Fortunately, there were many mountains around Brocade Cloud Peak. After wandering around for a while, Lu Qingfeng chose a small mountain called 'Silver Horn Mountain', which was 700 miles away from Brocade Cloud Peak.
This mountain is neither high nor steep, covering an area of more than ten miles, and only a hundred feet high.
It is named after a Silver Horn Tree that grows there.
This Silver Horn Tree has only a trunk, which glitters silver and is covered with triangular leaves that can purify the air.
Lu Qingyu liked this refreshing environment, so the brother and sister opened up cave abode on Silver Horn Mountain.
Silver Horn Mountain is also one of the properties of the Sunset Glow Sect, and a small medicinal herb garden is located there.
Lu Qingfeng chose this location, the Sunset Glow Sect simply entrusted the management of this herb garden to Lu Qingfeng. He was not required to submit mature medicinal herbs and spiritual plants every season; it was essentially a gift to Lu Qingfeng.
This is also a gesture of goodwill from the Sunset Glow Sect towards Lu Qingfeng, an Alchemist and weapon refiner.
Lu Qingfeng had his own reasons, but he accepted the offer without hesitation.
After spending several days searching near the mountaintop, they found a place where Spiritual Qi gathered and carved out cave abode. It included a meditation room, an alchemy room, a weapon-refining room, and a meditation room prepared for Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu.
They then settled down at Silver Horn Mountain.
Lu Qingyu stayed close by, following him to Silver Horn Mountain.
Lu Qingshan stayed at Brocade Cloud Peak and joined the Sunset Glow Sect to cultivate. Lu Qingfeng originally wanted Qingyu to stay at Brocade Cloud Peak as well, but unlike Qingshan, she refused.
Lu Qingfeng had no choice but to keep it by his side.
"Big brother, from now on, Silver Horn Mountain will be our home!"
A few days later, the cave abode was opened, and Lu Qingyu stood on the Silver Horn Mountain, looking down at the mountains, feeling somewhat excited.
After leaving Shangyang Country, I had been Weeping Marsh. Even now, after arriving at the Sunset Glow Sect, I still feel uneasy.
My heart feels adrift.
Now that I've carved out cave abode in Silver Horn Mountain, my heart has finally settled down. Having something to rely on makes all the difference.
"Yes!"
"For a long time to come, we will be spending our time in the Silver Horn Mountain and Gathering Cloud Mountains."
Lu Qingfeng was also somewhat moved.
The journey from the small Blackwood Village of Shangyang Country was far from easy, if not fraught with peril. Silver Horn Mountain was not only the first place they settled after leaving Shangyang Country, but also the Qidian for their formal entry into the world of cultivation, making it exceptionally significant.
The brother and sister sat on the mountaintop and chatted for a long time.
Unfortunately, Lu Qingshan is on Brocade Cloud Peak, which is 700 li away from here, making it inconvenient to travel back and forth and preventing them from meeting often.
"That's fine too."
Lu Qingfeng sighed inwardly. The farther away, the faster the Qingshan could grow. His decision not to establish cave abode on Brocade Cloud Peak, but instead to come to Silver Horn Mountain, was probably not without this consideration.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, after Lu Qingfeng finished practicing his cultivation, someone came to pay his respects.
"Wang Yuan, steward of the Silver Horn Mountain Garden, pays his respects to Elder Lu."
The newcomer was dressed in an orange robe and bowed respectfully to Lu Qingfeng.
"No need for such formalities, Wang Zhi."
Lu Qingfeng looked at Wang Yuan.
He had some understanding of the situation at Silver Horn Mountain he came here.
There was a small medicinal herb garden on the mountain, originally established by the Sunset Glow Sect. Although it wasn't large, it was still a property, so they sent a steward to look after it. Every year, they would also send a few newly initiated disciples to help out and serve Wang Yuan.
For newly initiated disciples, guarding the herb garden and tending to the medicinal herbs are the simplest sect tasks, which can earn basic cultivation resources and accelerate their cultivation.
Sects in the cultivation world, excluding demonic sects and sects inherited from the upper realms, are not mentioned.
Let's just talk about a small to medium-sized sect like the Sunset Glow Sect.
The reason why the Sunset Glow Patriarch established the Sunset Glow Sect was that he felt hopeless about his own breakthrough, so he simply opened up the sect before his death and passed on all his knowledge.
At the same time, there were also some selfish thoughts—
If one or two exceptionally talented individuals emerge among the younger generation of the sect, they might even be able to help and support their ancestor.
Although the hope is slim, it is still a possibility.
This was the original intention behind the formation of small and medium-sized sects such as the Sunset Glow Sect.
After years of development, sects like the Sunset Glow Sect, which stood for four hundred years, quietly evolved into another form—
Some disciples are devoted to the sect, grateful for its nurturing, loyal to the sect, determined to strengthen the sect, and unwilling to let the lineage be severed.
Some are driven by personal interests, while most value the advantages of the sect.
Such as resource complementarity.
Like those who practice together in groups, they have no fear of petty villains.
Each skill has its own specialty.
If one is Rogue Cultivator, one must learn combat and self-defense techniques to protect oneself. Otherwise, even the slightest calamity will reduce one to ashes. However, cultivation requires elixirs and Law Artifact. Focusing solely on combat and self-defense techniques makes it difficult to spare the energy to study alchemy and artifact crafting.
Within a sect, one only needs to specialize in one skill.
Among the cultivators of the sect, some are skilled in combat, some in alchemy, and some in weapon crafting.
Those skilled in combat will have their elixirs and Law Artifact crafted and provided by other cultivators within the sect.
Similarly, those skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting are protected by combat cultivators, and the sects also collect various materials for alchemy and weapon crafting.
They complement each other.
The advantages of the sect then become apparent.
As for training younger disciples, in addition to continuing the tradition, there is also the intention of cultivating 'like-minded people who help each other'.
However, training cannot be done by simply giving; otherwise, even the largest sect will be unable to make ends meet.
Then.
Besides the industries established by the sect, disciples also need to complete corresponding sect tasks to obtain the various resources required for their cultivation. Most sect tasks are not too difficult, especially for newly initiated disciples.
This is so much better than being Rogue Cultivator!
As for Wang Yuan, who was standing before him, his chances of advancing to the Foundation Establishment this lifetime were slim because he had failed to do so before the age of forty.
Furthermore, lacking any background, he was reassigned from his elite disciple status to a menial duties position by the sect, tasked with guarding the herb garden. He also received a certain annual stipend, which he could use for cultivation.
If one is lucky enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment, one can directly become an elder in the sect, a position of great importance.
There are many True Qi Realm stewards like Wang Yuan in the entire Sunset Glow Sect, even more than ordinary disciples.
Many of the stewards either served in Brocade Cloud Peak, guarded various properties of the Sunset Glow Sect, or served as generals and officials in the six cities under the Sunset Glow Sect's jurisdiction.
In short, there are plenty of places to go.
Even if one fails to advance to the Foundation Establishment, it's still better than being an ordinary Rogue Cultivator; one won't have to worry about their future.
Even in front of ordinary Rogue Cultivator, they still have some leeway.
However, facing Lu Qingfeng, a newly promoted guest elder in the sect, Wang Yuan, the steward who guarded the small medicine garden, dared not offend him in the slightest.
He received a notification that the sect had transferred ownership of the Silver Horn Mountain Garden to Elder Lu.
In other words, he will no longer be guarding the medicine garden for the sect, but will be working for Elder Lu in front of him.
