Arrangements

On Late Cloud Peak, the disciples of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect gathered in twos and threes, mostly discussing the war between the Scarlet Rainbow Sect and the Sunset Glow Sect.

Which elder has acquired another mine from the Sunset Glow Sect?

Which senior brother received another reward from the sect and made great progress in his cultivation?

With repeated successes at the front, the disciples of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect who remained behind were clearly in high spirits, each one eager to follow their elders into battle to earn merit and receive rewards.

"If everyone is eager for war and doesn't think about cultivating themselves properly, how can such a sect last long?"

As Lu Qingfeng walked up Late Cloud Peak, he listened to the discussions among the disciples of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect and couldn't help but shake his head.

With Concealment Technique and Qi-Concealing Technique covering his entire body, he could move freely throughout Late Cloud Peak as if it were empty.

With Lu Qingfeng's mastery of formations, not only was Late Cloud Peak's mountain-guarding formation not always activated, but even if it was, he could come and go freely.

The same applies to the cave abode throughout the mountains.

The Guardian formation was riddled with holes in Lu Qingfeng's eyes, allowing anyone to enter and exit at will.

"Don't rush into the cave abode."

"Let's make arrangements for Late Cloud Peak first."

Lu Qingfeng measured Late Cloud Peak step by step, spending several days figuring out the terrain, buildings, and other details of the mountain.

Then they began to take action.

While constantly calculating and determining directions, his True Essence surged as he formed hand seals and cast talismans. These talismans contained the Nine Heavens Qi; some landed on the ground and disappeared into the earth, while others landed in the void and vanished into nothingness.

They walked in this way, constantly making arrangements.

It consumes a great deal of resources.

Lu Qingfeng's internal True Essence couldn't withstand such consumption; every time, it would be completely depleted within an hour or two. Fortunately, he had Spirit Stone and True Essence to replenish it, allowing him to recover quickly.

The biggest benefit of advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm is the ability to absorb spiritual Spiritual Qi from Spirit Stone and quickly restore True Essence.

During battle, refining Spirit Stone while casting Technique Method can greatly replenish one's True Essence.

However, this is only useful when the forces are evenly matched. It is of little use when there is a significant difference in strength or the total amount of True Essence.

For example, Lu Qingfeng.

With four Profound-Grade Cultivation Method at his disposal, his True Essence was extremely abundant, dozens of times more than that of a cultivator of the same level who practiced only Beginner Cultivation Method.

Even among the top disciples of the immortal sects who also practiced Profound-Grade Cultivation Method, the total amount of True Essence was three to five times less than that of Lu Qingfeng.

No matter how you refine the Spirit Stone, your True Essence can only be restored by two or three tenths at most.

There is still an insurmountable gap between the two.

However, at this time...

Lu Qingfeng did not engage in combat; instead, he used Spirit Stone to restore his True Essence. Although this was somewhat extravagant, it was quick.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Time passed.

Lu Qingfeng traversed every corner of Late Cloud Peak, his True Essence depleted only to be replenished again. He repeated this cycle countless times.

Finally.

Thirteen days later.

"It's done!"

Lu Qingfeng's hands flew, and he used his True Essence to weave and cast the last talisman, a look of relief on his face.

Including the previous reconnaissance, it took more than Half Moon to complete the preliminary preparations, and Lu Qingfeng showed a relaxed expression. After resting and recuperating until his True Essence was fully restored, he got up from the forest and headed towards the mountainside and summit of Late Cloud Peak.

These days.

While he was making arrangements, he was also searching for the locations of the elders' cave abode in Late Cloud Peak's various places, as well as the Treasure Repository Hall where Spirit Stone, minerals, and spirit medicine were stored.

These are not secrets; they can be easily found out.

Before launching his attack, Lu Qingfeng's trip was not without purpose. He possessed the Divine Ability of the Grand Luo Insight, remarkable Concealment Technique in formations and restrictions, and Transcendent-Grade Spell such as Qi-Concealing Technique.

It's like a configuration tailor-made for this trip.

After advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, both alchemy and weapon crafting require far more energy than those at the Postnatal stage. This was a rare opportunity, and Lu Qingfeng was unwilling to let it slip by.

"Let's go to the elder's cave abode first."

Many elders of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect have established cave abode on Late Cloud Peak, while at this time they are leading a team to deal with the Sunset Glow Sect.

The cave abode was then emptied.

Powerful Law Artifact and precious elixirs are certainly carried with one. However, the space in a low-level Storage Bag is limited, far inferior to the storage Storage Bag that Lu Qingfeng created after enhancing his Storage Bag crafting technique.

Therefore, most cultivators keep precious items in their Storage Bag.

Such as elixirs, Spirit Stone, and talismans.

Other miscellaneous items were mostly stored in the cave abode.

Especially for cultivators from these sects, their cave abode dwellings are located within the mountain gate, Guardian by the mountain gate's grand formation and the cultivators themselves. The cave abode dwellings are also shrouded in formations, making them even safer than carrying them on one's person.

Lu Qingfeng strolled leisurely.

After thoroughly searching the cave abode of the nine elders of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect who were not in the mountains, they indeed obtained a considerable amount of spiritual herbs, spirit medicine, ores, and other materials.

Hide everything.

Then go to the Treasure Repository Hall of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect.

The Scarlet Rainbow Sect's industries are no less numerous than those of the Sunset Glow Sect, including mines, medicinal herb gardens, and even shell farms specifically for cultivating Spirit Pearl. The Scarlet Rainbow Sect also obtains materials by eliminating Demon Beast...

The harvests, in large quantities, were all stored in the Treasure Repository Hall.

If needed, one can come to the Treasure Repository Hall with the decree of the sect leader or elder to collect it.

The monthly allowances for stewards and disciples, as well as rewards for completing tasks, all come from the Treasure Repository Hall.

Such an important Treasure Repository Hall is naturally Guardian by powerful figures.

Originally, the Scarlet Rainbow Sect had four Supreme Elders. One of them was killed by Lu Qingfeng in the Hundred Herbs Garden, leaving only three remaining.

The three of them took turns guarding the area.

This time it was Wu Ming's turn.

Wu Ming was old, over two hundred years old. Although he was at the Body Tempering Realm, his chances of advancing to the Spirit Void Realm were slim.

However, he was unwilling to exhaust his lifespan and pass away peacefully at the mountain gate. So he continued to cultivate diligently, spending his days in seclusion on the top floor of the Treasure Repository Hall, entrusting the task of guarding the Treasure Repository Hall to an elder in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Lu Qingfeng arrived at the Treasure Repository Hall.

At the entrance of the Treasure Repository Hall, there were two True Qi Realm disciples on guard.

This is the first barrier.

Only by producing the tokens of the sect or a few powerful elders can the two activate the key in their hands to open the Treasure Repository Hall and retrieve the corresponding items.

Although Wu Ming often secluded himself in the Treasure Repository Hall, a Foundation Establishment elder was always watching over him. If he stole anything, he would face dire consequences.

Lu Qingfeng looked around and saw that the entire Treasure Repository Hall was shrouded in an array, with all the doors and windows tightly closed, except for the main entrance of the Treasure Repository Hall.

"Can't get in."

Lu Qingfeng glanced at it.

Although he was proficient in formations and possessed the Grand Luo Insight, under these circumstances, even if the palace gate formation couldn't stop him, he would have to push open the palace gate in front of two True Qi Realm disciples to enter the Treasure Repository Hall.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible.

"Never mind."

"Give Late Cloud Peak a good beating first, then it won't be too late to enter the Treasure Repository Hall."

Lu Qingfeng turned and left, sitting down cross-legged in the woods not far from the Treasure Repository Hall.

Close your eyes and visualize.

In his mind, talismans flowed and shimmered.

The Nine Heavens Qi governs the universe. As his True Essence circulates continuously, Lu Qingfeng silently recites Method Formula.

Time passes.

Lu Qingfeng sketched out hundreds, even thousands, of talismans in his mind, which then descended and flowed with his True Essence. It was as if they had communicated with some unknown realm in the Unseen, and each talisman seemed to have found its home.

Still behind schedule (12/48)
